Capone Bege, epithet "Gang," commands the Fire Tank Pirates as a former West Blue mafia don turned cunning pirate captain. Once head of one of the Five Families, he carved his infamy through calculated eliminations of rival leaders, sparking chaos to exploit fractured power dynamics. His Shiro Shiro no Mi Devil Fruit grants him the singular ability to morph his body into a living fortress, concealing weapons, cavalry, and crewmates who surge forth at full scale during battle—a tactical edge enabling devastating ambushes and brute-force assaults.
Emerging in the Grand Line among the notorious Worst Generation rookies, Bege later secured an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates by wedding Charlotte Chiffon, Big Mom’s 22nd daughter, fathering a son, Pez. Posing as a loyal rook-ranked enforcer, he orchestrated security for events like the Tea Party while covertly engineering Big Mom’s assassination. His temporary pact with the Straw Hats during the Whole Cake Island crisis targeted her psychological weakness tied to a portrait of Mother Carmel, though the scheme collapsed despite meticulous planning.
Polished yet merciless, Bege enforces strict standards of hygiene and decorum, disdaining those who falter. His composed exterior masks a volatile temper, erupting into cruelty against insults or failures—even disciplining crewmates with violence. Though he relishes tormenting foes and animals for amusement, he spares defeated rivals’ subordinates unless provoked. Fatherhood unveiled a contrasting tenderness: he shields his family fiercely, grooming Pez as his heir while balancing paternal care with underworld ambitions.
A strategist thriving on subterfuge, Bege infiltrates factions to decapitate leadership, exemplified by his tenure under Big Mom. He improvises ruthlessly, exploiting assets like Caesar Clown’s poisons and Brûlée’s mirror dimension during operations. Surviving clashes against titans like Katakuri and Big Mom, his fortress form’s defensive might shields allies, underscoring his resilience.
The Fire Tank Pirates, a militarized crew with mafia roots, operate from the tank-treaded Nostra Castello, adaptable across land and sea. After fleeing Totto Land post-assassination failure, they hijacked enemy ships to evade pursuit. Bege’s bounty soared from 138,000,000 to 350,000,000 Beli post-Whole Cake Island, cementing his escalating menace. His narrative weaves strategic alliances, familial bonds, and a duality of cultured refinement and calculated brutality, anchoring him as a layered force within piracy’s hierarchy.
