Sarai rode with the Takotopus Pirates three decades ago, a slaver crew that hunted vulnerable targets for profit. His brief role in Wano lore ended in panicked flight once Whitebeard stepped in against the captain.
Wavy blonde hair frames Sarai's face, with the bangs falling toward his right cheek. A pronounced chin carries a bit of stubble. The manga additionally gives him a tattoo across his left bicep.
His wardrobe pairs a lopsided leather jacket studded with assorted pins over a simple sleeveless top bearing the kanji for sell, and a pendant hangs at his neck.
Sarai shares the dishonest, predatory streak common among pirates who deal in captives. Cowardice and superstition also define him: a grotesquely swollen Oden was enough for him to imagine a fabled umibozu. Dread of Whitebeard ran through the entire crew, Sarai no exception. A saber hung at his side, though he was never seen putting it to use in a fight.
Thirty years back, somewhere out in the New World, Sarai's crew plotted to seize Toki by dangling the promise of a ride toward Wano. She saw through the lie and bolted, and Sarai with a few others pinned her down against the shoreline. With escape cut off, Toki was about to trigger her time power when a bloated, disfigured Oden surged up out of the water. Taking the figure for an umibozu, Sarai and the rest scattered in fright.
The Takotopus captain Karma later arrived himself to claim both Oden and Toki, only for Whitebeard to put him down in an instant, scattering the surviving crew in terror.
Sarai was a member of the Takotopus Pirates, a slaver crew that hunted vulnerable targets for profit roughly three decades before the main story.
Sarai and his crewmates plotted to capture Kozuki Toki by promising her passage to Wano, then pinned her down on the shoreline when she saw through the lie and tried to flee.
Sarai mistook a bloated, disfigured Kozuki Oden rising from the water for a legendary umibozu and fled in terror along with the rest of his crew.
The Takotopus Pirates' captain Karma tried to claim Oden and Toki himself, but Whitebeard defeated him instantly, scattering Sarai and the surviving crew in fear.
Sarai's name means abduction in Japanese, a nod to his plan to seize and sell Kozuki Toki.
