Maboji

Maboji (マボジイ), known popularly as the Sword-Swallower (剣の萎縮), is a pirate and one of the main characters of Proud Line. Born in the West Blue, Maboji possesses a unique mutation that allows him to consume and store swords within his body. Due to this 'power', he was quickly taken from his home by a sea-borne circus. He spent the remainder of his formative years there, using his performances and personal dedication to create the Sword Swallower's Style, his own unique combat system. As such, he caught the attention of the Love Pirates' captain when they accosted the circus, and was ordered to join their crew at once.

At his refusal, a conflict soon erupted, one that drew in the arriving Pride Pirates. Ultimately working together with them and fighting as an honorary member for the resulting Davy Back Fight. Impressing their own captain, Pounce D. Luk, with his skills, Maboji was asked to join their crew of his own free will. Accepting, he became their swordsman as well as informal helmsman.

Maboji's dream is to one day acquire and eat the 12 Saijo O Wazamono Grade swords, as a sign of how he has used his difference to its fullest and achieved his own happiness even with it.
