Run the Machete
CharacterRun the Machete is a former pirate who joined the Centaur Patrol Unit under Brownbeard and served as one of Caesar Clown's underlings on Punk Hazard. Transformed into a spider centaur, he wields machetes but proves no match for Luffy.
Appearance
Run is an enormous figure marked by a long brown beard along his chin and matching sideburns. He still carries himself in pirate fashion and keeps a clutch of machetes strapped across his back. Trafalgar Law's surgical power reshaped him into a spider centaur, leaving him with four ordinary arms, a spider's abdomen, and eight spider legs. White boots cover each of those legs, and brown gloves sheath all four of his hands.
Personality
Run shows fierce devotion to Caesar Clown, addressing him as "Master" and hailing him as the "Scientist of Love," and he readily picks fights with powerful foes like Luffy to win his master's favor. In keeping with many One Piece characters, he has his own distinctive laugh, rendered as "Guhahohahohaho."
Abilities
A genuinely dangerous fighter, Run can swing four machetes at once, though his skill still fell well short of Luffy's. Little survives about his past beyond his pirate days. He turned up gravely wounded with his legs rendered useless, much like other centaurs, and reached Punk Hazard, where he threw in with Caesar and recovered the use of his legs through Law's powers, which is why he reveres Caesar as a savior. When Luffy launched his solo strike on Caesar's facility, Run attempted to halt him with his swordsmanship, only to be flattened by a single kick.
