Appearance

Standing even taller than the roughly two-and-a-half-meter Adio Suerte, Pororoka cut an imposing, heavily muscled figure. A large blue tattoo spread across his bare chest, and a long scar marked the left side of his pronounced chin. His light blue hair fell to his shoulders, and he kept a dark blue bandana fitted with goggles around his head. His usual garment was a high-collared black jacket with the sleeves rolled up, which he wore open at all times to leave his torso exposed.

Personality

Regarded as a dependable partner to Adio, Pororoka was the one who reined in the man's stubborn impulses, according to Smoker. Yet his devotion ultimately bent toward his own household rather than his kin. To shield Revina and Renny, he agreed to betray the very clan he had been born into, putting family above the safety of his people.

History

Like Adio, Pororoka traced his lineage to the Wandering Clan, and the two were rarely seen apart. He proved skilled enough at his craft that Adio would trust him to steer through the fiercest storms without a second thought. After marrying Revina, the couple had a daughter, Renny, some fourteen years before the present day. The girl suffered a grave illness that left her wracked by uncontrollable coughing. Desperate for a cure, Pororoka struck a bargain with the World Government, receiving a dense ball of Island Clouds that calmed her fits whenever she wore it.

In return he was bound to sell out his clan, which he carried out by persuading Adio to put ashore and feeding their information to the authorities. Revina and Renny were taken into government custody, kept as protected prisoners. The final demand was Adio himself, whom the Government meant to execute publicly, so Pororoka poisoned him to leave him weak enough to seize. Adio caught wind of the scheme over a Den Den Mushi call and leapt from the ship. After breaking free of custody, Adio learned that Pororoka had been put to death in his place. That betrayal and loss turned Adio against the World Government and set him chasing the legendary weapon known as the Divine Breath, with which he hoped to remake the world.
