Appearance

Broad and heavily built, Sunbell is a fish-man whose hands are webbed and whose head bears a fin along the top. Thick lips, plus tattoos marking his head and arms, stand out among his features. He favors light trousers paired with a Hawaiian shirt. Early anime appearances, including Episode 0 and One Piece: Stampede, mistakenly drew him as a human, an error corrected in later episodes.

Personality

As with much of the crew, Sunbell met Kouzuki Oden with a frosty attitude when Roger first brought him aboard, but warmed to him before long. He also has a soft spot for flattery, easily won over by a compliment.

Abilities

His fish-man heritage grants Sunbell roughly ten times the strength of an ordinary person and presumably skill in the water. The manga keeps his true power vague, though a non-canon anime sequence pits him against a young Vista, hinting that he is a capable fighter. In battle he carried a trident, and concept art shows him with a naginata-like weapon.
