Very Good

Captain Very Good (ベリーグッド大佐) was one of the Marines who helped to attack the Straw Hats during the Buster Call at Enies Lobby. His name and the name of his fruit were revealed in Yellow Databook as well as in SBS Volume 47 of the manga.

Appearance
Very Good is a large Marine with a black afro. He has the word Marine tattooed across his chin and a cross shaped scar on his forehead. He wears the usual Marine clothes and he is relatively round in shape.

Abilities and Powers
As a marine officer he has the command over lower-ranked marines. Since he is a marine captain and a Devil Fruit user it could be assumed that he is quite strong.

Devil Fruit
Very Good has the power of the Beri Beri no Mi ,a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows him to separate his body into several berry shaped orb parts. It is showed that the ability is immune to blunt physical attacks such as punches.

The Enies Lobby Incident
When a Buster Call attack was accidentally ordered on Enies Lobby by Spandam, Very Good joined the Marine forces sent to bombard the judiciary island. During the operation, Very Good, along with all of those of the rank Marine captains and above, were sent to attack the Straw Hats on the Bridge of Hesitation. Despite their best efforts however, Very Good and his fellow Marines weren't able to stop the Straw Hats from escaping. Having completely destroyed an important World Government island without stopping even one of the invaders, Very Good and his fellow Marines suffered a humiliating defeat.

Hunt for CP9
After some time passed since the incident in Enies Lobby, Very Good is seen leading a group of Marines and Government agents onto the homeland of CP9 in order to capture the failed government unit, CP9. His force soon finds the group. However the force is utterly defeated and Very Good himself left literally in pieces. After defeating him, CP9 abandon him (though still split apart) in their homeland, and his current condition remains unknown.

Major Battles

 * Very Good vs. Franky
 * Very Good and Marines vs. CP9 members

Anime and Manga Differences
In the anime, Very Good antagonized Franky much longer, pinning him down with his rapid-bouncing until Zoro batted the segments of Very Good's body into the distance, leaving Franky free to grab his head and blast him into the side of a battleship.

Translation and Dub Issues
His name is a pun due the Japanese pronounce of "very" being the same as "berry" (for his Devil Fruit power).
