A character appearing in the manga ONE PIECE.
He is the third member of the Straw Hat crew and its marksman, as well as the son of Yasopp, the marksman of the Red-Haired Pirates. He dreams of becoming a brave warrior of the sea like his father, but he is a liar and a braggart, yet also cowardly. While he boasts with his skillful talk, when danger threatens him, he immediately bolts away or tries to escape crises by telling lies or pretending to be dead—showing rather unseemly behavior.
However, at times he rallies for his comrades and friends who believe in him, and even boldly challenges fearsome enemies head-on, gradually revealing his courage.
At first, he was a well-known young liar in his hometown, Syrup Village, repeatedly spreading false rumors throughout the village, such as “Pirates have arrived!” every day.
But after teaming up with Luffy during an incident involving “Crocodile, the Master of a Hundred Schemes,” he decided to set sail on his own to become a pirate. At that moment of departure, he was welcomed as a member by Luffy and the others.
He is highly skilled with his hands and possesses exceptional marksmanship. He also undertakes engineering tasks, such as developing weapons used by himself and Nami, creating the design for the crew’s pirate flag (with Luffy providing the original concept), and serving as a shipwright before Franky joined the crew—though even after Franky’s arrival, he sometimes assists with shipbuilding work.
His name derives from “lie” and Aesop’s fables.
The episode set in Syrup Village pays homage to the boy who lied in the fable—the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
This boy is characterized by his curly black hair, round eyes with three distinct eyelashes, plump lips, and most notably, a long nose reminiscent of Pinocchio. His distinctive long nose makes him easily recognizable among his crewmates; occasionally, he is mistaken for another red-haired stranger with a similarly long nose, earning nicknames like “Long-Nose,” “Long-Nose-kun,” “Negat Nose,” and “Nose-Head.”
His outfit typically consists of a yellow checkered bandana cap, goggles, and brown overalls. He often wears goggles when practicing shooting with his favorite slingshot or developing weapons (?), though they were once broken during his battle against Arlong’s gang in Cocoyashi Village. Later, while stopping in Loguetown, he purchased a state-of-the-art multifunctional model of goggles, which he continued to cherish until the end of the first part.
In the New World arc, his hair has grown longer and is tied back into a single ponytail. The most noticeable change is the growth of a chin beard.
A character appearing in the manga ONE PIECE.
He is the third member of the Straw Hat crew and its marksman, as well as the son of Yasopp, the marksman of the Red-Haired Pirates. He dreams of becoming a brave sea warrior like his father, yet he is a habitual liar and a bit of a show-off, while also being quite cowardly. With his signature silver-tongue, he often boasts bravely, but when danger threatens him personally, he immediately bolts or tries to escape crises by lying or pretending to be dead—displaying rather unseemly behavior.
However, at times he rallies for his comrades and friends who believe in him, boldly confronting fearsome enemies head-on, gradually revealing his courage. Initially, he was a notorious liar even in his hometown of Syrup Village, repeatedly spreading false tales throughout the village—“Pirates are coming!”—every single day.
Yet after teaming up with Luffy during an incident involving “Crocodile the Hundred-Plans,” he decided to follow suit and set sail alone to become a pirate himself. At that moment of departure, Luffy and the others welcomed him as a full-fledged crew member.
He is highly skilled with his hands and possesses exceptional marksmanship. Additionally, he sometimes takes on engineering tasks, such as developing weapons used by himself and Nami, designing the crew’s iconic pirate flag (with Luffy creating the original design), and serving as a shipwright before Franky joined the crew—though even after Franky’s arrival, he occasionally assists with shipbuilding work.
His name derives from the word “lie” (usō) and Aesop’s fables.
The episode set in Syrup Village pays homage to the boy who lied in the fable—the classic “boy who cried wolf.”
This young man is easily recognizable thanks to his curly black hair, round eyes framed by three distinct eyelashes, plump lips resembling tarami fish roe, and most notably, his long, Pinocchio-like nose. His distinctive nose makes him instantly identifiable among his crewmates; at times, he is mistaken for another red-haired stranger with a similarly long nose, earning nicknames like “Long-Nose,” “Long-Nose-kun,” “Negat Nose,” or “Nose Guy.”
His standard outfit consists of a yellow checkered bandana cap paired with goggles and brown overalls. He frequently wears goggles when practicing shooting with his beloved slingshot or working on weapon development—but during his battle against Arlong’s gang in Cocoyashi Village, his goggles were shattered. Later, while stopping in Loguetown, he purchased a state-of-the-art multifunctional model, which he cherished until near the end of the first series.
In the New World arc, his hair has grown longer and is tied back into a single ponytail, and he now sports a small chin beard—a major change from his earlier appearance.
His bare-overall style remains unchanged, though the design now exposes more of his upper body, resembling something closer to baggy pants. As for his trusty goggles, they seem to have been damaged during training, replaced by a different pair.
Despite his comical demeanor and antics, by the time of the Supernova Arc, his abdominal muscles were already clearly defined, and upon his reappearance in the New World arc, he had gained even more muscle mass.
He refers to himself as “ore” or “oresama,” and addresses others as “omae,” “omee,” “anta,” or “ossan” when speaking to older men.
Generally laid-back and playful, he often jokes around alongside Luffy and Chopper.
