Ririka
CharacterRirika is a bartender who keeps a small tavern in Shells Town and the mother of young Rika. A protective parent, she fed Luffy and Zoro after they freed her town from Captain Morgan, watching events of the Romance Dawn Arc unfold from the sidelines.
Appearance
Ririka stands at a middling height and build, her brown hair commonly gathered behind her. Brown sandals and a layered outfit complete her look, with a light green dress worn over a darker green shirt.
Personality
Above all she guards her daughter fiercely. After Luffy struck Helmeppo, she pulled Rika away from him, worried that any link to the troublemaker might put the girl in danger.
History
When Luffy decked Helmeppo, Ririka hustled her daughter indoors and away from him, then pressed Rika on whether she had been sneaking off to the execution grounds again, which the girl denied. Once Morgan was beaten, Ririka thanked Luffy and Zoro for rescuing Shells Town by hosting them for a meal, cheerfully clearing dishes as the pair and Koby ate. She looked on uneasily when the Marines arrived to order the pirates out and Koby traded blows with Luffy while loudly denying any pirate ties, and she joined the townsfolk and Marines in cheering the two off as they sailed away. Later, when word came that Koby and Helmeppo had departed for Marine Headquarters, she comforted a distraught Rika, assuring her they would return one day as Marine officers.
