Ryu

Grandpa Ryu was the name of the Sennenryu that traveled with the Straw Hat Pirates (along with Apis) during the Warship Island Arc.

Ryuji was a very old and weakened dragon; so much so that he could no longer fly. He was sometimes somewhat senile and tried to eat both Luffy and Usopp thinking they were food.

For some strange reason, Luffy was able to understand what Ryu was saying and relayed his last message to Apis.

Appearance
Ryu is an old gray dragon with green feathers on his back and wings.

Personality
He was friendly to others around him, as displayed when Apis tried to look out for him. He was also caring as he showed concern as Eric threw Apis off him and injured her.

Abilities and Powers
As a dragon Ryu could fly free anywhere he desired, however due to his age, he was no longer able to fly.

History
Apis and Luffy managed to protect him from Nelson Royale and Eric long enough to return to him to his homeland, the Lost Island, where he could be reborn.



At one point, Eric had Apis hostage, but after Apis bit Eric in attempt to escape, Eric threw her off, injuring her. This made Ryu finally get up, and roared to the sky, and flew towards Nelson. However Ryu was met by heavy fire, and collapsed onto the ocean surface.

At the time of his death, he told Luffy that he had fulfilled his "wish".
