Patrick Redfield, the villain at the heart of the game One Piece: Unlimited World Red, is an aging pirate once called Pato who chases the title of Pirate King. Designed by Eiichiro Oda, he wields a partner who copies enemies and a Devil Fruit that drains youth.
Towering and elderly, Redfield carries himself like a refined gentleman. His braided locks mix white and red, his chin sports a pale goatee, and his eyebrows curl in odd circular loops reminiscent of Sanji. A lip piercing on his lower lip links by a chain to an earring set in his left ear. Once his fruit briefly restores his prime, the braids deepen to a vivid crimson.
For clothing he favors a ruffled purple shirt beneath a red cloak whose interior is patterned with yellow and blue diamonds. A large blue rose decorates the cloak's left side, completing the aristocratic look that earned him the nickname Red Count.
Beneath the courteous manners lies a savage raider who tore through Marine fleets and the Straw Hats showing no restraint. What defines Redfield most is his loathing of alliances: he prizes solitude and pride so fiercely that any hint he depends on others can provoke him to kill. He scorns the bonds shared by crews like Roger's, Whitebeard's, and Luffy's, treating camaraderie as a flaw, yet his hunger to rule the seas is total, and he was ready to surrender mercy and even his own humanity to claim it.
For all his talk of standing alone, he treasures his old companion Pato, whom he first pushed away to keep him safe from the carnage. He grieves his own decay, longing to reclaim lost strength, and his advancing years leave him forgetful, once inviting Nico Robin to join him after he had already fashioned an obedient copy of her. In the end he warms toward Luffy's crew and concedes that the young captain may someday wear the crown he coveted.
Sengoku rated Redfield at his peak a match for both Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate. Even worn down by age, he repeatedly bested the Straw Hats with barely a scratch, dodging their blows, dropping Luffy with a single kick, and shrugging off their combined assault. His weapon is an umbrella that converts into a polearm tipped with a bat-shaped scythe, and he relies on Observation Haki to slip past attacks. Through Pato in pen form he conjures clones of the crew's past foes, from Crocodile and Rob Lucci to Whitebeard and Enel.
During the final clash he devours the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire, a Mythical Zoan fruit. Sharpened fangs let him bite a victim's neck and drain their life, rapidly aging them into gray, white-haired husks while feeding his own power and granting eternal youth. He also commands an unexplained power that unleashes red shockwaves and a purple mist.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
Patrick Redfield is an aging pirate, formerly known as Pato, who built a fearsome reputation alongside his friend of the same nickname before being captured by the Marines and imprisoned in Level 6 of Impel Down. He escaped when Marshall D. Teach freed the inmates ahead of the Battle of Marineford, then chased the title of Pirate King in One Piece: Unlimited World Red.
Patrick Redfield was rated by Sengoku as being, at his peak, a match for both Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate. Even in his aged state he easily overpowered the Straw Hat Pirates, downing Luffy with a single kick and shrugging off their combined assault.
Patrick Redfield fights with an umbrella that converts into a polearm topped with a bat-shaped scythe, and he uses Observation Haki to dodge attacks. He later eats the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that lets him drain victims' life force to restore his own youth.
Patrick Redfield earned the nickname Red Count for his aristocratic look, wearing a ruffled purple shirt beneath a red cloak decorated with a large blue rose. His braided hair mixes white and red, further fitting the noble image.
After Pato rushes to shield him during their final battle, Patrick Redfield realizes that friendship matters more than power and that stealing others' youth betrayed his own dream. He returns the life force he had stolen, reverts to normal, and parts with the Straw Hats on good terms, predicting Luffy will one day follow in the footsteps of Roger and Whitebeard.
