TV Special
Description
This Marine soldier serves alongside his younger brother, their relationship strained by years of the younger sibling mocking his perceived clumsiness and slower career advancement. This tension persisted into their adulthood and military service, breeding resentment in the older brother.
Deployed as rank-and-file soldiers during the Paramount War at Marineford, the older brother saw his younger sibling become trapped under debris and cry for help. He began to assist but hesitated, overwhelmed by the destruction and memories of his brother's derision, and started retreating to save himself. Witnessing Monkey D. Luffy's desperate, determined effort to save his own brother, Portgas D. Ace, acted as a catalyst. Inspired by Luffy's resolve, the older brother returned and freed his younger sibling. This act of salvation, prompted by Luffy's example, became a defining moment, though it did not erase their underlying friction.
Two years later, stationed at Marine Base GR-66 on Sabaody Archipelago, the older brother maintained stern diligence, strictly enforcing Marine protocols. He chastised civilians expressing admiration for pirates and pursued a young girl attempting to deliver a fan letter to the pirate Nami, demanding she return home for safety.
Learning the girl idolized Nami for demonstrating ordinary individuals could achieve freedom without superhuman abilities triggered a moment of recognition. It resonated with his own experience witnessing Luffy's impact at Marineford. Consequently, he permitted the girl to accompany him, provided she maintained a safe distance to observe the Straw Hat Pirates' departure. Giant insects from the Boin Archipelago forced them into temporary refuge in a bookstore. Later, the older brother was incapacitated by one of Perona's Negative Hollows, hindering his ability to protect the girl.
After the incident, he accepted the girl's apology for the disruption and witnessed the discontinuation of the Marines' experimental toxin weapon his commanding officer intended to deploy against the Straw Hats.
