Spartan

Spartan is a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum.

Appearance


He is a very tall man with a hulking posture and incredibly large muscles, giving him an overall large physique. He has a broad face, long black hair that is short at the top, but flows down his back, and a scar extending from the right side of his neck to his abdominal muscles. His attire consists of a simple cape around his neck with a pendant and a pair wristbands and black brief tights.

Personality
He is a very aggressive individual who dislikes people who only come into the Colosseum to look around, and would not hesitate to use force and intimidation to eliminate anyone he dislikes before the matches.

Abilities and Powers
Spartan is powerful enough to win the fighting tournaments fifty-one times within the high-caliber Corrida Colosseum, though he was utterly no match for Monkey D. Luffy.

Past
Before the current story line, Spartan won the monthly fighting tournament held at Corrida Colosseum fifty-one times.

Dressrosa Arc


When Monkey D. Luffy (under the disguise of "Lucy") joined the tournament to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi, Spartan first appeared in the waiting room angry at Luffy, thinking he was just a weak boy who came just to look around, not knowing his identity as the infamous pirate. Although the other tournament players tried to stop him, he attacked Luffy, who dodged the punch and grabbed his hand, lifting him high and flipping him down into the ground, hard. He was then knocked out while the others were left shocked at Luffy's strength.

Trivia

 * A Spartan is a person from the Greek municipality Sparta or the ancient Greek city-state of the same name. Fittingly, Sparta was very militaristic and was the dominant land-power in ancient Greece. From a young age, male Spartiates were trained for battle and put through grueling challenges to craft them into fearless warriors.
