Īfter the accident that compressed his body, Gaimon adapted the best he could, and is able to perform most day-to-day tasks with his hands and feet (though he can no longer manage full-body movements such as climbing). Notably, he was able to scale the Island of Rare Animals' steepest cliff barehanded (a feat that Nami later deemed impossible). Gaimon demonstrated no combat abilities in his youth, but appeared to be an above-average climber. Gaimon seems to have an affectionate relationship with Sarfunkel, the barrel woman, since she appears feeding him. Ironically, neither of them knows the other's relationship with Luffy. He is good friends with Buggy despite battling him when the pirate first crashed onto the island. However, with the chests empty, Luffy asked him to join his crew, but Gaimon declined the invitation to stay with the animals. Straw Hat PiratesĪlthough he tried to attack the Straw Hat Pirates at first, he ends up making friends with them after telling them about his past, and they tried to help him get the treasure chests he had been wishing for. He has great affection for them and they are family to him, so he does not want to leave the island and abandon them. Gaimon treats the rare animals as treasures of the island, and defends them from possible invaders. However, once his trust has been earned, he can prove to be remarkably friendly and helpful, especially to fellow castaways. In any case, Gaimon is highly protective of anything he deems treasure, and as a result tends to be hostile to any strangers he meets.
This greed was slowly eroded (though never completely erased) by his decades of solitude on the Island of Rare Animals, causing him to prize peace and companionship more than any material wealth. GalleryĪs a young man, Gaimon was a stereotypically greedy pirate, caring about little more than plunder. Over the next twenty years, he grew a sizable beard and an even larger afro, giving him a curiously shrub- like appearance.
Shortly after landing on the Island of Rare Animals, most of his body was irreversibly compressed into a treasure chest, leaving only his head, hands, and feet free (and one of his teeth dislodged). In his youth, he appeared to be a relatively scrawny man of average height. Gaimon possesses a notably pear-shaped face, green hair, and a pronounced uni-brow. 5.2.2 Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles.
