Appearance

Round and stocky, Tamagon almost always has goggles on. His look combines a waistcoat with a red bowtie chosen to match, and like his fellow Franky Family members he keeps the bottom half of his body bound in bandages.

Past the two-year gap he holds onto the trademark goggles and bowtie, but now sports a Galley-La shirt, and his hair has grown out somewhat.

Personality

Once he came to know Franky, Tamagon grew to admire him greatly and adopted the nickname "Aniki" for him, as the rest of the crew did. For all that respect, he keeps a playful, troublemaking side; his appetite for pranks ran far enough that he made off with Franky's swim briefs just to cause a stir. In a fight he has handled both a sword and a bazooka, and his armor, like the rest of the Family's, can shrug off cannon fire.

History

Tamagon first joined Zambai's group, and when Franky later gave the whole gang work, the entire bunch was absorbed into the Franky Family. While the Straw Hats were in Water 7, the Family stole 200 million Berries from Usopp and pummeled him when he tried to take it back. They were then trounced by Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper, and beaten again by CP9, who hauled off Franky and Usopp, leaving the gang to beg the Straw Hats for aid.

At Enies Lobby, Tamagon fought on Zambai's team to crack open the main gate, helping bring down the giants Oimo and Kashii. Pushing inland atop the King Bulls, his group ran up against the three-headed judge Baskerville and was overcome, only for Paulie to free them as the Buster Call neared. Paulie's ropes also rescued them from a Marine bombardment, letting them flee aboard the sea train. Afterward, once Franky was declared a wanted man, Tamagon swiped his swim briefs to spark a chase through Water 7, though Franky knocked him down with ease. In later years he, Zambai, and Kiev founded Zambai's Company Union under Galley-La.
