Personality
Fullbody was once a successful and arrogant Marine who loved entertaining women and concidered himself to be a ladies man. However after a series of bad fortune since meeting Sanji and the Straw Hats he has somewhat changed.

He has befriended Jango the hypnotist and former crew member of the Black Cat pirates after the two took part in a dancing contest. Since he admired Jango's dancing skills, he defends him in court after he is captured at the cost of his rank. Later the two of them become followers and admirers of Hina, who while appears finds the pair of them a bother more then anything, allows them to follow her everywhere she goes.

Fullbody and Jango often mimick each others moment, dancing or acting in sync with each other and at times act silly together.

Abilities and Powers
So far Fullbody has yet to display any strength. He does know how to dance very well.

Weapons
Fullbody uses his knuckle dusters as weapons.

Present Story
He was once a Lieutenant (大尉 Tai'i) with the nickname "Ironfist Fullbody" (鉄拳のフルボディ Tekken no Furubodi), and a suave ladies' man. Sanji ruins his date with a woman by humiliating the arrogant man, and completely thrashes him when he ruins Sanji's soup. Fullbody, his ego in tatters, flees the oceangoing restaurant Baratie once the pirate Gin breaks out of his cell on Fullbody's ship.

The next time Fullbody is seen, he is competing in a dance contest on Mirrorball Island. After coming in 2nd place behind Jango (who is in disguise so as not to be caught by the authorities), the two become fast friends while remaining oblivious to the other's identity. This is not to last long though, as Fullbody's men find Jango's trademark clothes in an alleyway. As a pirate crew invades the island, Jango takes the opportunity to escape while Fullbody attempts to fight them off. He is thwarted when their leader takes a woman hostage, and Fullbody surrenders to keep her safe. Suddenly, Jango bursts back onto the scene to save his friend. Putting aside their allegiances, Jango and Fullbody wipe out the pirates.

Fullbody still has his duties, however, and arrests Jango. But, as Jango is tried in court, Fullbody returns the favor and offers an objection dance which gets the whole courtroom caught up in a huge emotional dance-fest. Unable to deny the power of the men's friendship, the court acquits Jango on the condition that Fullbody be demoted to the rank of Seaman Recruit. Afterwards, Jango is about to hypnotize Fullbody into forgetting their friendship ever occurred (so that neither of their careers would be jeopardized in the future), when they both spot the beaufitul Captain Hina. Inspired, they both become members of her crew.

Fullbody later appears in Alabasta, sporting two iron plates and the nickname "Double Ironfist Fullbody" (両鉄拳のフルボディ Ryōtekken no Furubodi). Like his friend Jango, he is completely enamored of Hina and will do anything to please her. He and Jango attempt to prevent the Straw Hat Pirates from escaping Alabasta, but are soundly defeated.

Fullbody appears much later in the story, tracking down remaining members of Baroque Works with Jango and Hina on Kyūka Island. He and Jango assist Hina in capturing Miss Valentine, and are hunting down Mr. 5, Miss Goldenweek, and Mr. 2 Bon Clay (disguised as Mr. 3).
