Marimo II

Property of Alphadhbeta

Introduction
Marimo is the captain of the Marimo Pirates, who used to rule over the Mossball Island.

Appearance
Marimo is a tall man, clearly taller than Alpha, who is 182 centimeters, with a broad and muscular build. However, his enormous height is mostly due to his green afro, and had it not existed, he would have been about the same size as Kazarashi.

Personality
Marimo is a very cruel man, going as far as ruling over the island of Mossball Island just because it was a reference to his name (he took it as an insult). He is also very greedy, as he would demand 50% of the island's villager's income as tax, and would, like Arlong, kill anyone who would refuse to pay.

However, he does care for his crewmates, as he avenged for them by attacking Alpha.

Abilities and Powers
Swordsmanship

Marimo wields a cutlass. However, his proficiency with it is unknown, because he only used it to slash Alpha's back. Also, he was defeated in mere moments.

Physical Strength
Due to his receiving a bounty as high as Arlong's, it would have been assumed that Marimo is a powerful rookie; however, after his battle against Alpha, it can be inferred that either Marimo's skills pale in contrast to Alpha's, or that the Marines gave him a ridiculous bounty accidentally.

Endurance
His endurance is shown to be extremely bad, as he was defeated with just a gust of wind and a clawing attack to the face.

Crew
Marimo seems to be on good terms with his crewmates, as he (in a failed attempt) avenged for them by attacking Alpha.

Enemies
He is an enemy of every single villager of Mossball Island, since he ruled over them with tyranny and cruelity. He is especially an enemy of Kazarashi, as he was ruling over him for about half of Kazar's whole lifetime.

History
About 10 years before the current storyline, Marimo attacked and successfully ruled over Mossball Island in the Grand Line, demanding money. He struck fear into every villager in the whole village, and even killed a few who refused or couldn't pay.

Captain Marimo Arc
After Alpha arrived at Mossball Island, Marimo attacked him for defeating his crew. However, he was easily defeated by the Marine Ensign.

Trivia

 * Marimo's ruling over Mossball Island is a reference to his name, which means "mossball" in japanese.
 * His ruling over Mossball Island is because of this; he felt offended by the name, and decided to rule it as his territory.
