History

Skilled enough in medicine to pull a man back from the brink, Potsun managed to save Pell's life after the warrior was caught in the bomb that Baroque Works had planted at Alubarna. Some days after the kingdom's civil war and the departure of the Straw Hat Pirates, the doctor released his recovered patient, only to notice that Pell had left his trademark headscarf behind.
