Den

Dan is Tom's younger brother. He is a bering wolffish merman. He is also a shipwright and a Sea Forest researcher.

Appearance
Dan is a muscular merman with long, curly fair hair reaching down below his shoulders. His long and hooked nose points downward. He has a mustache and a dark, long, pointed goatee. He is almost always seen smiling.

He has tattoos resembling four-leafed clovers on each of his arms; this symbol is also present on the dark, short-sleeved shirt he wears. He also wears a wide-brimmed hat on his head and what it appears to be glasses or safety goggles on his face. He has an earring on each of his ears and a beaded necklace around his neck. Much like his brother, Tom, he carries around a bag full of tools attached to a belt around his waist; just below it is tied a light cloth, somewhat similar to an apron.

Though a more common feature amongst Fish-Men, and very rare amongst merfolk, Dan has webbed hands.

Personality
Dan is a cheerful individual, shown smiling in most of his appearances so far. He also appears to be very friendly. Just like his older brother, Dan has a habit of saying "don".

Abilities and Powers
Dan is a shipwright similar to his older brother, Tom. He has a keen perception for high quality ships, able to tell that the Thousand Sunny was made out of the Treasure Wood Adam. Being a Sea Forest researcher, he has some knowledge about the Sea Forest. He is also a highly skilled coating mechanic, able to coat the entire Thousand Sunny, which is an enormous ship, by himself within a short period of time where the coating procedure normally required several days.

Fish-Man Island Arc
In the Sea Forest, Dan talked with Franky about Thousand Sunny and agreed to coat it. He explained that he knew about Iceburg and Franky from the letters sent by Kokoro. When Franky asked Dan about why he does not look like Tom, Dan explained to Franky about how Fish-Men and merfolk genetics work when there is interspecies breeding. Dan then asked Franky if one of his ancestors was a robot, and Franky told Dan that he is human, just modified. When Franky noticed Jinbe sitting in front of a grave in the distance, Dan explained that Jinbe was waiting for someone in the forest since he could not enter the island due to being a wanted criminal again.

Monkey D. Luffy, Shirahoshi, Megalo, Sanji, Hatchan, and Tony Tony Chopper soon arrived at the Sea Forest. Dan was surprised to see the Mermaid Princess outside of the Ryugu Palace. Luffy wondered who the merman was and what was he doing on the Thousand Sunny. Franky then introduced Dan to Luffy.

After Jinbe finished explaining about his connection to Arlong and the stories of Fisher Tiger and Otohime, a visual Den Den Mushi appeared. The group watched a visual broadcast by Hody Jones.

Dan, Hatchan, and Camie remained in the Sea Forest as Jinbe and the Straw Hat Pirates battled against the New Fish-Man Pirates. As the battle raged on in Gyoncorde Plaza, Dan noted a strange occurrence going on at the island, as all the whales left. Hatchan told Dan that there was no way to break Hody Jones and referred to him as the true terror of their late boss, Fisher Tiger.

After the battle for Fish-Man Island ended, Dan, Hatchan, and Camie were shocked to see Sea Kings bringing Noah to the Sea Forest.
