Vigaro
CharacterVigaro was the first mate of the anime-only Phoenix Pirates. He gave his life in the New World so his captain Puzzle and the rest of the crew could escape, a sacrifice that shaped the crew's later resolve.
Appearance
Tall and heavily muscled, Vigaro wore his long blue hair in plaits. A short-sleeved purple fur jacket completed his look.
Personality
Devotion to his crewmates drove everything he did. He valued their survival above his own, and his willingness to die for them reflected a resolute, clear-headed nature that recognized self-sacrifice as the only way to save them.
History
Vigaro held deep faith that Puzzle was destined to become the next Pirate King, and that conviction shaped his final act. When the Phoenix Pirates sailed into the New World and came under attack, he threw himself at the enemy to buy his comrades time to flee. The escape succeeded, but the charge cost him his life. His death rippled through the crew: most of the Phoenix Pirates resolved to fight harder for Puzzle in his memory, and his fellow crewmate Guyle argued that Vigaro would have wanted them to take the Thousand Sunny against the Accino Family. Puzzle, by contrast, was so shaken by the loss that he lost the will to fight, fearing he might lose more friends the same way.
