Appearance

Will is a small, elderly man whose skin shows its years in deep wrinkles. White hair tops a face dominated by remarkably bushy eyebrows that hang over his eyes and a big, spiky beard. He dresses in an orange vertically striped shirt under a bulky gray vest, a green scarf at the neck and a sash at the waist, dark trousers, and a large striped cap colored to match his shirt.

Personality

Stubbornness defines Will, who voices loud opposition to the Marines occupying Jail Island. His convictions ran so deep that he barred his daughter Emma from seeing Jackie, the son of a Pro-Marine household, treating any such bond as reckless folly akin to throwing a life away. Yet for all his rigidity, he proved capable of growth, eventually recognizing that standing by family outweighs faction loyalty and that disputes are better settled through calm conversation.

History

When Emma began dating Jackie, Will refused to bless the relationship, prompting the couple to vanish with a note declaring they meant to elope and leave the island. He and Jackie's mother, Eliza, fell into bitter argument, each accusing the other's child of leading their own astray. The pair eventually came back alongside Jeanne and Monkey D. Luffy, revealing they had been captured by pirates and nearly sold into slavery. Will and Eliza first seized on this to insist the romance must end, but Luffy interjected, urging them to prioritize helping their children over clinging to ideology and to air their views peacefully. The two parents grudgingly agreed, and Will later joined the gathering at Konko Plaza, content to see Emma happy with Jackie and conceding the value of talking things through.
