Appearance [ ]

Nekomamushi is a large, yellow feline mink with dark brown stripes, sharp teeth, claws, and a very thick striped tail. He has wild, bushy blonde hair resembling a lion's mane running around his neck and down his back, and there is a scar running from the left side of his forehead down to his cheek. [14] His outfit consists of a large robe decorated with circles, a haramaki around his waist, sandals, a light-colored shirt, and pants. In addition, he frequently smokes a kiseru . [1] Like all the retainers of the Kouzuki Family , Nekomamushi bears the family crest somewhere on his body. [3]

While being tortured by Jack , he lost his left hand and part of his left forearm [15] due to several members of the Beasts Pirates spearing them off. [16] At some point before his arrival at Onigashima , Nekomamushi replaced his lost hand with a prosthetic double-barreled gun.

Personality [ ].

Nekomamushi takes great pride in his status as one of the Mokomo Dukedom's rulers alongside Inuarashi , having proclaimed the country to be his when the night came during his first encounter with Jack . Unlike his former friend Inuarashi, Nekomamushi is aggressive and merciless; Inuarashi has described him as an "obstinate and stubborn imbecile", comparing him to Jack himself, and he is completely willing to damage the historical Mokomo Dukedom while fighting, referring to doing so as a "minor detail". [1]

Nekomamushi can be stubborn even when not angry, as demonstrated when he kept ignoring Tony Tony Chopper 's orders to recuperate in order to have fun. He does not like to be ordered around, having claimed that he went to bed of his own volition rather than on Chopper's orders while being treated by the doctor, and describes himself as a "freedom-loving man"; in spite of his bravado, however, he is afraid of needles. [17]

Despite his stubborn, sometimes abrasive behavior, Nekomamushi genuinely cares for his friends and fellow minks; he took care of Bepo and the other Heart Pirates when they arrived on Zou [18] and did not expect them to help him defend the Mokomo Dukedom against the Beasts Pirates, though he was impressed when they decided to do so anyway. [19] Additionally, while being tortured by Jack and his men, Nekomamushi convinced the Beasts Pirates to aim their spears at him instead of at his incapacitated fellow minks. [16] He is also firmly loyal and possesses an incredibly strong will, having absolutely refused to reveal that Raizo was on Zou despite extensive torture at the hands of Jack, even when he lost his arm, and was fully willing to risk the kingdom's destruction in order to protect his friend. [20] His loyalty to his allies means that he will treat anyone who tries to harm them viciously, having claimed he will devour any intruders he finds. [21]

Nekomamushi Distracted By a Ball

Nekomamushi is instantly distracted by the sight of a bouncing ball.

Nekomamushi has many feline behaviors that can sometimes get the better of him; he likes to lick his paws, [21] play with balls and cat toys, [22] and eat catnip. [23] Unlike most cats, however, he loves taking baths and eating lasagna . [17]

Like many others, Nekomamushi has his own unique laugh : "Goronyanya". [24] "Nya" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meow, and "goro" may come from "gorogoro", the Japanese onomatopoeia for purring.

Relationships [ ]

Inuarashi [ ].

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi Reconcile

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi reconcile.

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were once friends, but their friendship became strained after Oden's execution [25] as the two minks blamed each other for Oden's death. [26] Because of this, they avoid meeting face-to-face. [27] Upon accidentally meeting, they exchanged hostile words and insults before preparing to enter a battle to the death despite their respective injuries. [28]

Despite their present-day enmity, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi agreed to form a truce in order to avoid agitating Momonosuke [29] and while reminiscing about their past adventures, they became very jolly and friendly with each other again. [30]

As Pedro was a member of the Guardians that served under him, Nekomamushi was on very good terms with Pedro. Later when Pedro requested that he be allowed to join the Sanji Retrieval Team on their mission, against the requests of the other minks who also wished to join, Nekomamushi granted only Pedro's request, as Pedro is the only one who could keep Pekoms in line. [31]

Later in Wano Country, after meeting up with Shishilian and Bariete , Nekomamushi learned of Pedro's death and that the one responsible Charlotte Perospero was nearby, which though he was happy that Pedro died for a noble cause Nekomamushi was determined to avenge Pedro's death. [32] After Nekomamushi knocked him out of the Skull Dome so they could have their battle elsewhere, [33] and transforming into his Sulong , Nekomamushi admitted if it had not been for Pedro's sacrifice then Luffy's mission to retrieve Sanji, and by extension the raid on Onigashima , would have ended in failure. [34] Though the odds in the battle turned against Nekomamushi when the storm clouds blocked out the full moon and cancelled out Nekomamushi's Sulong form resulting in terrible injuries, once the moon was visible again, a re-transformed Nekomamushi was able to defeat Perospero and avenge his comrade's death. [35]

Kouzuki Family [ ]

Due to Oden protecting him, Inuarashi and Kawamatsu from discrimination during their youth, Nekomamushi is extremely loyal to the Kouzuki Family of Wano Country , whom he serves as a retainer alongside Inuarashi. [8] His loyalty to Oden and his family is so great that he risked sacrificing his kingdom and its inhabitants just to protect Raizo , another retainer of the clan, [20] and later agreed to form a truce with his bitter rival Inuarashi in order to appease Kouzuki Momonosuke . [29]

Nine Red Scabbards [ ]

Scabbards Charge Kaidou

Nekomamushi, alongside the other Red Scabbards (with Izou taking Kanjuro's place), charges into battle.

Aside from Inuarashi, Nekomamushi has an extremely strong and close friendship with fellow members of the Nine Red Scabbards, even after twenty years of separation. Nekomamushi risked his life and kingdom to protect Raizo from Jack, absolutely refusing to reveal Raizo's whereabouts even when brutally tortured to the point of losing an arm. When Raizo questioned about the fate of his fellow minks from Jack's brutality, Nekomamushi could only silently apologize.

Heart Pirates [ ]

Nekomamushi took the Heart Pirates because Bepo is a native of Zou. [18] He did not expect them to help him fight Jack , but Bepo insisted on defending his home, which impressed Nekomamushi. [19]

Straw Hat Pirates [ ]

Like the rest of the Mink Tribe, Nekomamushi is very grateful to the Straw Hat Pirates , particularly Sanji , for saving them. [36] When Sanji was forced to leave Zou with Bege for his impending marriage, Nekomamushi understood his crewmates' anguish and asked Wanda and Carrot to not tell anyone what happened, which prompted Nami to thank him for his understanding. [37] However, he is not completely compliant with Tony Tony Chopper 's orders for him to recuperate due to them restricting his freedom. [17] Along with Inuarashi, Nekomamushi believes that Luffy will become the Pirate King, having willingly showed him the Road Poneglyph at Zou.

Upon learning of Nico Robin 's ability to read Poneglyphs , Nekomamushi feared for her safety, but Robin assured him that her crewmates would protect her. [38] He was later amused that Luffy has Shanks’ Straw Hat and was shocked to learn that Franky was Tom 's apprentice and that Brook was the sole survivor of the Rumbar Pirates that Crocus had searched for. [39]

Enemies [ ]

When night fell during the first day of the Beasts Pirates ' battle with the minks, Nekomamushi was immediately informed of Jack's invasion and wasted no time in rushing to the scene before immediately attacking the pirate. [1] After Jack incapacitated the minks with poison gas and tortured him for information regarding Raizo's whereabouts, Nekomamushi swore that he would never forget Jack's actions and that his curse would follow the pirate until he died. [40] He and Inuarashi later fought against Jack again at Onigashima , this time using their Sulong forms, and ultimately defeated him. [41] Though Jack did partially recover from his injures, [42] Inuarashi was able to defeat him once more on his own. [43]

Charlotte Perospero [ ]

Due to Charlotte Perospero 's role in Pedro's death, Nekomamushi developed an intense hatred toward Perospero. [32] During the battle in Onigashima, Nekomamushi singles out Perospero, and the two fight outside the Skull Dome. [33] Transforming into his Sulong form by the full moon, Nekomamushi swears this will be the final moonlight Perospero would ever see. [34] When the clouds covered the moon, resulting in Nekomamushi's transformation becoming undone, Perospero badly injured the mink and boasted about his own good luck. However, the clouds parted shortly after, and Nekomamushi mocked Perospero's luck while pulling off a final Sulong attack, defeating Perospero and avenging Pedro. [35]

As with Bepo, Nekomamushi cares for Pekoms despite his status as a pirate; upon finding Pekoms badly injured after being shot multiple times, Nekomamushi confronted Capone Bege , who was nearby, and demanded to know who he was and why Pekoms was injured despite his own injuries having not yet fully healed. [44]

Abilities and Powers [ ]

As one of the former two rulers of the Mokomo Dukedom, Nekomamushi held a large amount of influence over the Mink Tribe , with the highest authority during nighttime. [12] As the Guardian of the Whale Forest and the commander of the Guardians , Nekomamushi had full control over the forest's inhabitants, [18] before he stepped down from his position.

Beli

As a former pirate, Nekomamushi is an able seaman with enough navigational skill to lead a crew formed from his Guardians through the New World. [48] In the anime, Nekomamushi also knows how to make Vivre Cards . [49]

Physical Abilities [ ]

Noted as one of the two strongest minks of the Mokomo Dukedom, Nekomamushi possesses immense physical strength, demonstrated when he lifted up Jack, in his Beast Form , before slamming him into a building with enough force to destroy it. [50] His claws are incredibly sharp and powerful, as he instantly beheaded Kurozumi Orochi in his Beast Form [51] and sent Charlotte Perospero flying through a rock formation with a single swipe. [52] Despite his large size, Nekomamushi is also extremely fast and agile; he traveled from the Whale Forest to Kurau City in a matter of seconds and lept high into the air in the Skull Dome . He has astounding levels of vitality as he fought against Jack and his replenishing forces for five days, taking 12-hour intervals to recover, and still managed to survive exposure to the Koro gas and an entire day of torture, which included the loss of his right arm. [53] Even more notably, while all the other minks were immediately weakened and left unable to move by the Koro gas, Nekomamushi retained much of his strength and almost tore apart the chains that bound him to his crucifix, demonstrating an exceptional level of endurance. [16] Like all minks, he can use Electro . [54]

It is unknown how much the loss of his hand affects his overall combat abilities, but he managed to clash evenly with a one-legged Inuarashi . [55] He was also able to disarm Kaidou of his kanabo and held his left arm to prevent him from retaliating against the ambush. [56] [57]

Sulong Form [ ]

Using this form is risky as it can cause severe exhaustion if used for too long. However, he can revert to his normal form by blocking his eyes from the moonlight. [58]

Swordsmanship [ ]

Nekomamushi has considerable skills in swordsmanship, able to fight on par with Inuarashi when they sparred during their youth. [59] Like Inuarashi, his swordsmanship skill is great enough that he is capable of emulating Oden's signature Oden Two Sword Style, and even using a more personal version known as Oden One Sword Style. [35]

Weapons [ ]

Nekomamushi wields a staff resembling a jumonji yari with a fire-shaped blade on each end, which he can channel Electro through. [54]

When he arrived at Wano, his lost left hand had been replaced with a double-barreled gun. [60]

Nekomamushi possesses the ability to use Armament and Observation Haki . [61]

History [ ]

Early years [ ].

In the distant past, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were best friends. [7] When they were children, they were told of the pact the Mink Tribe made with the Kouzuki Family . Curious, they left Zou and journeyed to Wano Country , but got shipwrecked. They were discovered at Kuri Beach by Kawamatsu . [62] Afterwards, the three were caught and persecuted by some humans until Kouzuki Oden came and rescued them. They then followed Oden back to Kuri and became his retainers. [63]

Oden's Retainers Caught by Yasuie

A young Nekomamushi along with his fellow Scabbards after they were caught stealing by Yasuie.

When they were running low on funds, the retainers attempted to steal money from Shimotsuki Yasuie , but they were caught. Instead of punishing them, Yasuie allowed them to take the money and encouraged them to use it to become better people for the sake of Oden and Wano. [64] Following Yasuie's advice, they educated themselves and trained to become dignified warriors. 30 years ago, they visited the Flower Capital with Oden. [65]

After meeting the Whitebeard Pirates , Oden and his retainers had a feast with them. Nekomamushi and Inuarashi also learned from Marco on how vast the world is. Two weeks later, the two minks stowed away on Whitebeard's ship before they left Wano, knowing that Oden would not stop wanting to get on their ship. They revealed themselves after Whitebeard accepted Oden into the crew three days later. Afterwards, they traveled the seas together with the crew. [66]

Two years later after the birth of Kouzuki Momonosuke and Oden got a bounty , Nekomamushi noticed that the newspaper hardly had any news about Wano Country. [67]

Around 26 years ago, sometime after the birth of Kouzuki Hiyori , the Whitebeard Pirates clashed with the Roger Pirates on an island for three days and three nights before the skirmish turned into a gift exchange and Oden decided to join Gol D. Roger to assist him with his final journey. Nekomamushi and Inuarashi boarded the Oro Jackson as stowaways. [68]

The two minks and Oden then sailed with Roger, and they visited Skypiea at one point. When the crew sailed to Water 7 , the minks revealed to Roger about the Road Poneglyph at Zou. The Roger Pirates' voyage later took them to Tequila Wolf , Sabaody Archipelago , and Fish-Man Island . Sometime after the visit to Fish-Man Island, Toki became ill and the crew stopped by at Wano. The two minks chose to stay at Wano with Toki and her children, so they never went with Oden to Laugh Tale . Before parting ways with Roger, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi gave him a letter of introduction for the Mink Tribe. [5] [69]

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi told Kikunojo about Izou 's stay with the Whitebeard Pirates. Around six months before Oden finished his voyage, Nekomamushi and his fellow retainers were furious at Kurozumi Orochi for abusing his position as shogun. While Inuarashi and Kawamatsu stayed behind at Oden Castle, the other retainers marched to the Flower Capital to confront Orochi only to discover that a group of Beasts Pirates were in Kuri threatening Oden's family. When Oden returned to Wano after finishing his journey, the retainers (except Denjiro and Ashura Doji , who were elsewhere at the time) welcomed him back and told him about Wano's situation. Oden then ordered his retainers to protect his family and Kuri before charging to the capital by himself. [70]

After Oden failed to kill Orochi, the retainers remained loyal to him for the next five years despite Oden acting like a fool and losing the respect of most of Wano's people. 20 years ago, Oden finally had enough and decided to take down Kaidou . The retainers eagerly followed him and marched with him to Onigashima. [71] On the way to Onigashima, the group was confronted by Kaidou and his crew in the Udon region. In the ensuing battle, the samurai were joined by Shinobu . Unfortunately, the samurai were overwhelmed in the end. Oden and the Scabbards were then imprisoned in the Flower Capital and sentenced to be boiled alive in three days. [72]

All ten prisoners were later brought to the execution site, at which point Oden made a deal with Kaidou. After Oden stepped into the pot of boiling oil, the retainers were about to join him, but Oden grabbed a plank and ordered them to stand on it as he held them over the pot. [73] As Oden endured the hour , he explained to his retainers the reason Wano Country was isolated and requested them to open Wano's borders for him. Oden successfully survived the hour, but Orochi summoned a firing squad to execute Oden and his retainers. Oden once again told his retainers to open Wano's borders before throwing them far away from the pot. The Scabbards fled with tears as Oden met his demise. [74]

After Oden's death, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi began quarreling with each other on the way to Oden Castle. The two minks were captured by Orochi's forces, and they were left behind by the other retainers. [25] They eventually managed to escape and returned to Zou barely alive, but they continued their feud to the point that they began fighting whenever they were together, [75] so they decided that Inuarashi would rule Zou during the day and Nekomamushi would rule during the night. [12]

During the Timeskip [ ]

When Bepo and the Heart Pirates arrived, Nekomamushi took them under his care because, despite his status as a pirate , Bepo was a native of the island. [18]

Nekomamushi Flips Jack

Nekomamushi attacks Jack.

During Jack and the Beasts Pirates' invasion of Zou, Nekomamushi took over the battle as night fell. He quickly emerged from his domain and engaged in battle with Jack by flipping the latter over. [1] Nekomamushi then prepared to continue fighting Jack, and was pleased to see the Heart Pirates assisting the Guardians in the battle. He fought Jack for five straight nights, switching out with Inuarashi once 6:00 AM arrived. Finally, Jack lost patience and used the Koro gas on the minks. He then crucified Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and other strong minks and tortured them for Raizo 's whereabouts. However, the minks unwaveringly refused to give the ninja's location, and Nekomamushi nearly broke free from his chains, leading Jack and his men to sever his arm.

Dressrosa Saga [ ]

Dressrosa arc [ ].

One day later, Jack left Zou when he learned of Doflamingo 's defeat and capture, leaving some subordinates in the territory. Then the Straw Hat Pirates led by Sanji arrived. [76] Once they chased away the remaining pirates and neutralised Koro, the pirates tended to Nekomamushi and the wounded minks. [77]

Whole Cake Island Saga [ ]

Zou arc [ ].

Nekomamushi Confronts Bege

Nekomamushi confronts Bege after discovering an injured Pekoms.

Several days later, while Capone Bege was dealing with Sanji inside his body , Nekomamushi confronted Bege after finding an injured Pekoms , which prompted Sanji to throw his crewmates out of Bege's body. Not wanting to fight Nekomamushi despite his visible injuries, Bege fled with Sanji and Caesar Clown . [78] Realizing that the remaining Straw Hats wanted the minks present to forget about what just happened, Nekomamushi told Wanda and Carrot to keep quiet about the incident and decided to look after Pekoms. [37]

After Monkey D. Luffy and his group came to Zou, Tony Tony Chopper went to check up on Nekomamushi after visiting Inuarashi. [79] Nekomamushi was disobeying Chopper's orders by eating lasagna and taking a bath and was quickly forced back into bed as Chopper gave him more medical treatments. [17] Shortly afterward, Nekomamushi left his bed and followed the other Straw Hats in order to meet Luffy and Roronoa Zoro . After Trafalgar Law warned Luffy about the threat of Kaidou and the danger that the country would be in if they stayed on Zou, Nekomamushi decided to party with the members of the alliance and the other minks. [80]

Raizo Is Safe

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi reveal that Raizo is safe.

The next morning, Nekomamushi was alerted by Bariete ringing the bells to announce the arrival of the samurai Kin'emon and Kanjuro . Nekomamushi led the Guardians to Kurau City in search of the samurai but encountered Inuarashi. The two quickly began arguing and briefly clashed before Kin'emon interrupted them, revealing his identity and asking about Raizo. Nekomamushi and the minks then revealed that Raizo was on Zou, and they had kept him safe all this time. [81]

While conversing with Kin'emon, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi began arguing again, prompting Kouzuki Momonosuke to reprimand them for doing so because it would make his father sad to see them behaving like this. Not wanting to disappoint their lord, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi apologized and called a truce, to the delight of their fellow minks. Shortly afterward, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi escorted the samurai and the Straw Hats to a secret area in the Whale Forest where Raizo was hidden. [82]

After Nico Robin deciphered the Road Poneglyph hidden within the Whale Tree, Nekomamushi revealed the purpose of the Road Poneglyphs and the locations of two others. He, Inuarashi, and the samurai then revealed that the Kouzuki Family invented the poneglyphs, but their ability to make them was lost after Oden was killed by Kaidou and Orochi. [83]

After speaking more about Oden, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi offered the minks' help in fighting against Kaidou, and after Momonosuke petitioned Luffy for his help, the minks formed an alliance with the Kouzuki Family, Straw Hat Pirates, and Heart Pirates known as the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance . [84]

As the group left the secret room, Nekomamushi realized that he recognized Luffy's straw hat, which prompted Inuarashi to reveal that he and Nekomamushi once traveled with Oden aboard the ships of both Whitebeard and Roger, though they never went to Laugh Tale. As he reminisced about his days of adventure, Nekomamushi happily danced with Inuarashi while he did the same. Promising to one day detail all of Oden's adventures, Nekomamushi continued descending the Whale Tree while revealing that they intended to find and recruit Marco , whom he noted had vanished after clashing with Marshall D. Teach a year ago during the Payback War , though he had an idea of where Marco might be. Suddenly, Zou began shaking violently, causing a shocked Nekomamushi to realize that Zunesha was crying out before wondering to know what was going on. [85] Jack's threat was ended when Momonosuke ordered Zunesha to destroy his fleet, but Nekomamushi was concerned about how Jack found Zou twice. [86]

Later on, Pedro and several other minks volunteered to join the Sanji Retrieval Team, but Nekomamushi decided to allow only Pedro to go because he could keep Pekoms in line. Soon afterward, as the Sanji Retrieval Team departed from Zou, Nekomamushi and the others were shocked when Luffy jumped off Zunesha with his party. [31]

Wano Country Saga [ ]

Wano country arc [ ].

Nekomamushi and the Guardians located Marco at Whitebeard's home village, Sphinx . As Nekomamushi spoke to Marco, the latter talked about Whitebeard's history with the village. Marco also heard about Edward Weevil attacking those connected to Whitebeard in search of a fortune that does not exist. After explaining that he could not leave because of the possibility that Edward Weevil would attack the village as well, Marco asked Nekomamushi to pass on a message to Luffy, [87] which said that he would arrive at Wano at the last minute.

However, Marco arrived at Wano along with Nekomamushi and Izou , making Marco's message unnecessary. [88] After Nekomamushi's ship climbed the waterfall, Nekomamushi contacted his fellow Scabbards in the Polar Tang and informed them that he would meet them at Onigashima . [89] Marco then dropped off Nekomamushi and Izou at Onigashima's back entrance, where they joined up with Law and the Scabbards with him. [60]

After Marco left to check on a shadow he saw at sea, the group was confronted by Kanjuro and an army of Beasts Pirates. While Kikunojo clashed against Kanjuro, the rest fought the other enemies. [90] Kanjuro and the Beasts Pirates with him were defeated, and Nekomamushi's group were soon rejoined by Kin'emon and Denjiro. They then entered Kaidou's castle , fought their way to the Live Stage, and launched an all-out attack on Kaidou. [91] While falling to the lower floor, the Scabbards managed to inflict wounds on Kaidou. As the alliance revealed themselves and attacked the Beasts Pirates, Kaidou transformed into his Beast Form and flew to the roof of the Skull Dome, with the Scabbards grabbing onto him. On the roof, the Scabbards prepared to fight Kaidou with the Mink Tribe's help. [92] When Jack arrived to the roof with a platoon, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi's subjects urged their two leaders to focus on Kaidou. [93] As Jack fought back against the minks, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi transformed into their Sulong forms and charged at Jack. [94]

The two were able to badly wound Jack, to the point where Kaidou had to step in and call him off to rest. With Jack and his forces out of the way, the Scabbards and Izou resume their confrontation with Kaidou. [95] Kaidou roared lightning at them, but they dodged around it and each struck him in turn. [96] After suffering several injuries, Kaidou then retaliated with a roar that created wind scythes aimed at the Scabbards. [97]

Continuing the battle in Human Form, Kaidou began overwhelming the Scabbards [98] and later incapacitated them. Big Mom , Eustass Kid , Killer , Zoro, Luffy, and Law later arrived at the roof. Upon Luffy's request, Law teleported the Scabbards to a safe place. [99] They were placed in the treasure room on the second floor, where a mysterious person was tending to them. [100] The Scabbards later recovered and regained consciousness, but the mysterious figure already had left. Before they left the treasure room, they saw who appeared to be Oden. [101] Many of the Scabbards believed it was him; however, "Oden" was quickly exposed to be a drawing made by Kanjuro, who was still alive and heading for Momonosuke. The Oden drawing then lit a large quantity of dynamite under its garment, but Ashura Doji tackled it out of the room before it exploded, sacrificing himself to save his comrades.

The Scabbards immediately headed out to find Kanjuro but, but were then confronted by Beasts Pirates All-Star Jack ; Inuarashi stayed behind to battle him. [102] As they raced through the fortress, they encountered Orochi and Fukurokuju . Orochi transformed into his Beast Form to take on the Scabbards, but they responded by swiftly decapitating his multiple heads at once. They continued on, with Raizo staying behind to fight Fukurokuju. [103]

Nekomamushi Defeats Perospero

Nekomamushi defeats Perospero.

As the group moved through the castle, they encountered Shishilian and Bariete , who informed Nekomamushi that Carrot and Wanda were engaged in combat with Charlotte Perospero , the man responsible for Pedro's death. Nekomamushi resolved to take revenge for Pedro and leapt far ahead of the other Scabbards. [32] Later, when Perospero attempted to attack Sanji during his fight with Queen, and after having his identity confirmed by Shishilian, Nekomamushi knocked Perospero outside of the Skull Dome to avenge Pedro's death, and immediately chased after him. [33] Outside, upon using the moonlight to transform once again into his Sulong form, Nekomamushi swears this will be the last moonlight that Perospero will ever see. [34] Though Nekomamushi was eventually placed at a huge disadvantage and was badly injured due to the the storm clouds caused by Kaidou and Momonosuke's dragon forms blocking off the full moon causing him to revert back, once the clouds parted due to the clashing of advanced grade Supreme King Haki , Nekomamushi was able to regain his Sulong form and swiftly defeated Perospero with Oden One Sword Style: Neko Niko Ban . [35] Back in the castle, they joined the resurging battle against the Beasts Pirates, who once again started to fight the Alliance's forces. [104]

After Luffy defeated Kaidou and Momonosuke safely landed the island, Nekomamushi announced to the forces that the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance was victorious. When a volcano erupted where Onigashima once sat, Momonosuke flew with his sister and retainers into the Flower Capital in order to calm the panicking citizens. As the citizens marveled at the return of the Nine Red Scabbards, Denjiro then announced Momonosuke as the new Shogun of Wano Country. After broadcasting a speech to the whole country, Momonosuke, along with his retainers, entered the shogun's castle. [105]

A week later, after Luffy and Zoro finally awoke, Nekomamushi joined the Straw Hats in their feasting and bath. [106] They later enjoyed the ongoing festivities of the Flower Capital. [107] When the Kouzuki Retainers noticed Admiral Ryokugyu 's approach, several of them, including Nekomamushi, went out to stop him from entering the Flower Capital. Using his Devil Fruit powers , Ryokugyu attacked the samurai and announced his intent to go after Luffy. They were joined by Yamato and Momonosuke, and the retainers became distressed as Ryokugyu restrained Momonosuke. [108] However, the battle was then ended by Shanks outside of Wano, although unknown to anyone but Ryokugyu. [109]

Momonosuke as the Shogun

The samurai with their new Shogun ready to rebuild Wano.

Nekomamushi alongside the rest of the group returned to the Flower Capital. Inside the Shogun Castle, he was present when Kin'emon explained why he was not with them during the fight and though Kin'emon apologized for his absence, Nekomamushi brushed that off and instead asked Kin'emon to give them an update on Tsuru's status. After Kin'emon gave them an update, Inuarashi summoned Carrot to him and Nekomamushi. As Carrot stood before them, Inuarashi explained that they would name Carrot as the next leader of the Zou Kingdom, much to the latter's shock and surprise, as they explained their motives to stay behind in Wano to protect Momonosuke. When Carrot was doubting her strength and leadership qualities, they explained to her that they were confident she could do this task as she was the one who carried Pedro's will in her heart and was therefore most qualified. [110] He later joined his fellow Scabbards alongside Yamato and Momonosuke when the latter took his place as the new Shogun of Wano. [111]

One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list

One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list

This game has over 4000 characters. New players will get intimidated by it, and that's why there's a great need for the One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list.

One Piece Treasure Cruise, is a mobile RPG that’s been going strong since 2014, and has been constantly updated with the new characters added to the Straw Hat Pirates since. But, with such a massive roster that means that picking the wheat from the chaff can be difficult, so we’ve done our research and compiled our One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list ranking the different crewmates and captains!

For the  One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list, we’re going to come at it from the angle of characters with the most potency, the best synergy and the best evolutions, not all of them! To keep things at least somewhat feasible, we’ll name the characters in general - assume that this covers their evolutions and unique variants as well. So a character with one very good variant may not be ranked high, even if their one variant is extremely good, but won’t rank bottom based on their lacklustre variants either.

Essentially, we’re grading on an average with each tier set out in no particular order, so don't worry if your favourite is the bottom of S tier because they're still S tier - but without further ado, let’s set sail!

Monkey D. Luffy in a fighting pose

It shouldn’t be surprising that the Straw Hat Pirates and their close allies are mainly at the very top of the One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list. Given the iconic nature of the series, Luffy, Nami, Zoro and the others are constantly receiving new unique variations.

Not only that, but the fact that the crew is canonically so close means that the synergy behind their different slot types (STR, INT, and PSY) is incredible, so if you want a simple and effective set of characters to shoot for, the Straw Hats are a great choice.

Not only that but since you acquire Luffy and the others to begin with, evolving them - and in some cases needing them for story progress - is basically your default progression path anyway.

As for Gol D. Roger - he’s the king of the pirates, where else do you expect him to go? Right, in all seriousness his abilities of his default variation - causing true damage and ignoring any effects to the contrary - has earned many cries of OP, congruent with his rarity.

A tier is where you’ll find a large number of characters; One Piece boasts a massive cast, and many of them are fan favourites who are well-represented in Treasure Cruise.

The Admirals in particular boast a vast variety of evolutions and variant cards, while the famous pirates (Shanks, Mihawk, Buggy etc.) outside the central Straw Hat crew boast unique cards and evolutions too.

If you want to move outside the comfortable familiarity of the Straw Hat Crew then exploring the options these characters open up is a great pick.

Coby Marine captain

Characters relegated to this tier either have convoluted evolution paths, or simply not straightforward ones and lacklustre lower-rarity cards.

Coby and Helmeppo top this list, as despite having interesting career paths in the series - going from background characters with the more cartoonish designs seen earlier in the series to genuinely capable fighters on their own - their evolution paths only go up once.

They still have strong variants, but not necessarily as easily acquired, or worthwhile on their own as upper-tier characters.

This tier is where you’ll find characters that are named, and are useful if you pull them but can be superseded by better characters or are only useful in certain circumstances. They’re still useful in areas like the early and mid-game and are well worth learning to use, although they aren’t exactly ones you’ll be excited to pull.

Nevertheless they’re not instant sales, and if you’re interested in gathering as many named characters as possible it’s more than worth knowing that these are available for completion's sake. It’s also strangely fitting for Usopp that his absentee father only has a single variant in Treasure Cruise, even compared to other Red-Hair pirates like Roux.

Characters in this tier are somewhat more useful than the ones relegated to the E tier. They’re still likely not going to be a lynchpin or even journeymen characters you use for any significant length of time, but they’re not immediate sells and can be useful in special circumstances or are needed for story missions.

Note: Characters in italics are part of a series - for example; there are different variations of the navy ensign with damage types, but they all fall under the same ranking. The Mr-series are individual agents of Baroque Works, and have their own independent variations but fall under the same category for the purpose of brevity.

Higuma from One Piece

Characters at the bottom of the One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list are, to use the nomenclature of fandom, “trash”. These are functionally useless with next to no levelling potential and are simply there to fill out rosters and provide synergy before you get a named character that can then be used for that space in your crew if even that. Advice is to sell, sell, sell as these characters can’t even be used for evolutions.

Generally, any generic tier character that’s part of a series is useless except if you’re literally just starting out, although even then you’re likely to roll at least one much better character before you leave the tutorial proper.

This includes lower-tier generic characters, but as you can see in the next tier up, there are generic characters that have utility. However, characters in this tier rarely if ever are needed even for story missions. Generally, many “animal” characters that aren’t named fall under this category too.

Note, the world nobles, the “Saints” have an extremely high sell value compared to the usual fodder. So they can be an easy way to big money.

8 Nil Tier - Evolvers & Boosters

While 4000 characters sound impressive, there is a significant portion that can be discarded from our ranking. In this case the evolution and booster characters - such as the Crabs, Penguins, and Pigs. These are characters that are acquired solely to use for evolving your other characters or boosting their level and won’t factor into any team build. However, it’s worth looking these up regardless to gauge their rarity, what they’ll contribute if used for evolution and whatnot - so you know whether to save them, there are numerous fan resources that list elements such as the materials you can use for certain evolutions so you don’t miss out on a preferred character.

9 Further Resources

Fortunately, with almost ten years of development and fandom growth under its belt (makes you feel old doesn’t it?) One Piece Treasure Cruise has a wealth (pun intended) of resources available. Check out sites like the One Piece Treasure Cruise wiki for a comprehensive overview of the currently available characters and notes on their utility.

Also, with One Piece Treasure Cruise tier list in mind, do remember that with many gacha games, older characters are likely to drop in usage as you get to higher-tier content or newer content. Meanwhile, characters which will likely be lacklustre in a few years still have their niche. So give newer characters a chance if you don’t find their placement on this list agreeable.

Naturally, since these are fan resources we can’t guarantee they’ll always be correct, but given the mind-bogglingly huge variety of things to do in the game, they’re a great place to get started.

Fans of similar games will be pleased to know that we have a tier list for Sea of Conquest , and a Reverse 1999 tier list where every girl has her place.

    Win One Piece Treasure Cruise Edit: In all seriousness, although Lucy DOES outclass Cavendish, Cavendish isn't a bad choice as a captain if you don't have Lucy. Cavendish himself gets a whopping 14.85 attack boost, so against STR enemies, Cavendish becomes a pretty monstrous last hitter.
