PersonalityEdit
World, like many One Piece characters, has his own unique laugh, "Barorororo".[1]
In the past, World was seen like a man who just wanted to sail the seas for freedom and living an adventure. However, after his imprisonment in Impel Down, his objectives changed to having revenge on the World Government, even if it meant sacrificing his own crew. He has become ruthless and very reserved, even against his own brother.
He was feared as the "Destroyer of the World", who was well known for destroying anything he comes across, such as World Nobles, Marines, and other pirates.
He is also fiercely punctual, demanding his objectives completed within certain time limits, and not tolerating any subordinate unable to follow his orders.
He seems to be quite ignorant or at least not interested in anything outside him and his crew. Even before his imprisonment, he knew nothing about Cipher Pols. After his liberation, he reveals not to know what the Shichibukai are.
While he seemly appears to be a capable schemer, because of his ignorance along with his stubborn nature, he is unable to see the flaws that his plans contain. This is evident when World had believed that Boa Hancock held high value as a hostage as a Shichibukai; this is proven to be false as how Akainu had ordered the destruction of World’s ship while Buggy, another Shichibukai, was also on the ship.
RelationshipsEdit
CrewEdit
Originally, World showed great concern for his underlings, even risking his life when Byojack was captured. However, after the Marines captured him and his crew escaped to save themselves, he felt betrayed and considered them pawns to exact revenge on the World Government.
ByojackEdit
He is the younger brother of Byojack. Originally, World cared a lot about Byojack. Even if Byojack was ill, World did anything he could to take him out to the sea with him. However, after he was captured, he considered him just a tool, as with all of the other crew.
EnemiesEdit
Monkey D. LuffyEdit
World taunted Luffy about how he could not save his brother and crew, even saying "Friends are just tools".
Boa HancockEdit
World became Boa Hancock's enemy after he invaded Amazon Lily to capture her in order to use her as a hostage to invade and destroy both Marineford and Mariejois. Instead, he captured her sisters, causing Hancock to accompany Luffy to rescue them.
World GovernmentEdit
As World is notorious for his destructive activities that even involved the World Nobles, the World Government sees him as a very dangerous threat, placing a high bounty on his head and summoning all the Shichibukai, Marines and Cipher Pol organizations to deal with him. In turn, World grew an intense hatred when they imprisoned him, swearing revenge.
Other PiratesEdit
As World destroyed many pirates in his destructive attacks, they held a grudge against him, and joined the World Government's joint assault to take down World.
Abilities and PowersEdit
World is a very powerful pirate, as he was held in Level 6 of Impel Down and escaped, which was thought to be near impossible. He had a 
500,000,000 bounty, which testifies how large of a threat World was according to the World Government. The government fears him as he attacked World Noble ships and intended to shoot down Mariejois. They summoned all the Shichibukai to fight World. Despite his age, he remains a world-class threat. He was so greatly feared, that when captured, in addition to putting him in Impel Down Level 6, they froze him, so there was virtually no chance he could escape. However, this prevented his body from aging, maintaining his powers at the same level they were decades ago despite being chronologically 78 years old.
Devil FruitEdit
- Further information: Moa Moa no Mi
World ate the Moa Moa no Mi, a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows him to increase the speed and size of objects. He typically uses this to increase the size and velocity of projectiles, increasing damage, as well as boosting his own already powerful speed to higher levels.
HakiEdit
- Further information: Haki
World imbuing his entire body with Busoshoku Haki.
He is very skilled in using Haki. He was seen using Busoshoku Haki to harden his fists and injure a rubber man, and on his face to block a Haki-enhanced punch by Luffy. His Busoshoku Haki has been shown to be strong enough to block sharp or bladed weapons. He can also use it on his entire body, similar to Vergo and Pica.
RokushikiEdit
- Further information: Rokushiki
Despite having no affiliations with the World Government (if anything, being their enemy), he appears to be a Rokushiki user, as he is seen using the Soru and Geppo techniques. He can also use Soru in conjunction with his Devil Fruit power to increase his speed even more.
WeaponsEdit
He usually uses bullets or small objects, combined with his Devil Fruit, and throws them at his opponents. His ship used a massive cannon that, combined with his Devil Fruit, was able to blow up an entire island.
HistoryEdit
PastEdit
When he was a child, his older brother Byojack, encouraged him to explore the world when he grew older. World was determined to travel with his brother despite the latter's illness. When they became adults, they left their home island and sailed the seas.
During his days as a pirate, World was known as the "Destroyer of the World" who would destroy anything that crossed his path. Eventually, the World Government considered him a great threat. They enlisted the aid of pirates who held a grudge against World.
World is arrested by Cipher Pol Agents.
During the battle against the alliance of World's enemies, World initially had the upper hand. However, some of World's crew were swayed by government agents into turning against their captain. Though World retaliated against the traitors, some Cipher Pol agents boarded World's ship and subdued him. Byojack, Gairam, Sebastian, and Nightin fled, leaving World behind. World was then imprisoned in Impel Down.
3D2YEdit
World escaped sometime during the War at Marineford and later reunited with his crew members. With World reunited with his crew, he began enacting his revenge by starting to attack a World Noble transport ship. He sent his three subordinates, Gairam, Nightin, and Sebastian to speed things up before he personally jumped in to finish off the job, despite the fact that his own crewmen were caught in the line of fire as well. This didn't go unnoticed by his older brother and vice captain, Byojack, who tried to convince him that their crewmates were doing all they can but World refused to listen.
Once World's cannon was finished, which had the power to take out an entire island, World intended to use it to destroy the World Government with it. Byojack however mentioned that because of his earlier attack, the Marines were now on the look out for him and was gathering the Shichibukai to go after World. World however decided to strike first and asked which of the Shichibukai was the closest to their location which turned out to be Amazon Lily.
World tracked down Amazon Lily, specifically the island next to it where Luffy was training and stumbled upon Hancock's sisters Sandersonia and Marigold. After they revealed Hancock to be their older sister, World decided to take Sonia and Mari hostage and easily defeated them and Luffy (who discovered World's location). Hancock listened to the whole thing to which World left a Vivre Card for her and told her if she wanted her sisters she had to give herself up.
On the World Pirates ship, Byojack tried once more to get World to reconsider his plan, stating that their true goal was just freedom on the seas. But World was dead set on getting revenge on the World Government in the hopes of capturing Hancock and using her as a hostage against them.
After Luffy and Hancock infiltrated his ship, World confronted Luffy once more, mocking him on his failure to save Ace. Luffy fought but found out that he's no match for World who knocked him around mercilessly, ending with him nailing Luffy to the floor and knocking him out with a Haki punch. World headed off, remembering the day he was captured.
World then arrived in the control room, saw his subordinates defeated and chastises Byojack for their failure. World once more ignored Byojack's pleas and went down to the room where Mari and Sonia was being held. Luffy arrived there and once more confronted World in battle. He managed to stay on even ground against him but World's speed and experience in Haki left him at a disadvantage, leading once more to Luffy's defeat.
Just then a Marine fleet arrived, and Byojack reported this to World who saw it as an opportunity to get his revenge on the Marines. When Byojack objected, World revealed that he was just using him and the ship to carry out his objectives and saw no more use for him. Luffy, overhearing this, saved Byojack from him, angered that World would treat his brother and friends so callously. Luffy to form Haki over both his arms, he managed to knock Byrnndi down. Hancock soon arrived in the room to which Luffy ordered her to get her sisters off the ship while he dealt with World.
Luffy defeats World with Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk
Luffy and World engaged in one final battle with the latter once more mocking him for being unable to save Ace. Luffy acknowledged this but counters he has friends waiting for him that he still can protect. After trading rapid fire blows many of which managed to break through World's defenses, World rushed Luffy, only for Luffy to stretch his arm and hit him with a Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk, which was finally able beat World. With this, Luffy makes an escape from the ship. World recovered and decided to use the cannon despite Byojack telling him he's too weakened from his fight with Luffy. World knew this however and apologized for his treatment of his crew before heading off. Using his powers, he launched a gigantic cannon at the Marines. But just as it was about to hit, it got sliced in half by Mihawk. Having used the rest of his strength in that attack, World fell over. Byojack, still loyal to his brother after everything, stayed by his side as the Marines inevitably blew up their ship. He was assumed to have died with the rest of the World Pirates.
