Shupeal

A tall, gaunt figure with a sickly complexion, Shupeal ties his hair into six stubby ponytails dyed in rainbow shades and set in a six-sided arrangement, two of them poking up through his tricorne. Luffy compares the resulting silhouette to a seahorse or a water strider. He dresses in a striped shirt and black shorts cinched by a pirate's belt, with an open vest worn beneath the hat.

Cruelty and cunning define him. He thinks nothing of setting his own crewmen ablaze as punishment for failure, and his humor runs sadistic, as when he hands Ann the key to free Balloon only to gun her down moments later. Any jab at his looks sends him into a violent rage. For all his menace, he turns coward the instant a fight goes against him; finding Luffy immune to his attacks, he scrambles atop his ship, then casts off and even drowns his entire crew to seize a hollow win, declaring he has no further use for any of them.

Shupeal commands an arsenal of magic rather than a Devil Fruit, soaring on a flying broomstick, hurling flames, lifting foes by telekinesis, conjuring weapons from thin air, and bending water to his will, with a pair of flintlocks for backup. His campaign of terror begins when he razes Ann's village chasing the blood of a monster bird named Balloon. The creature escapes him but keeps returning to the girl, so he spares her as bait. After shooting the wounded bird, it tumbles onto Luffy's boat; Luffy climbs aboard the pirate's vessel and promptly enrages him by gawking at his face, landing both himself and Ann in the brig. When Ann later tries to free Balloon, Shupeal shoots her despite tossing her the key. Luffy's rubber body shrugs off the captain's spells, throwing the crew into a panic. Cornered, Shupeal flees on his broom with Balloon on a leash, but after Ann rescues Luffy from the sea, Luffy runs him down and reclaims the bird.
