Rice Rice

Rice Rice is an anime-only character who appears in the Post-Alabasta Arc. He is a salesman from the Den-Den Company whom Luffy and his friends rescue, along with his Snail-Mobile, while lost at sea.

Appearance
Rice Rice is a tall, slim Caucasian man with thick eyebrows, and a perpetual cheek blush. He wears a tangerine colored tuxedo, blue shirt with circular purple specks, and a yellow tie. He also wears a white banner with the words "GEKIYASU!!" in a red color.

Personality
Rice Rice has a stereotypical salesperson personality, and also seems to be absent minded as he completely misses the fact that he is on a pirate ship. Rice Rice shows signs of cowardice, especially after he finds out that he was on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

History
Little is known about Rice Rice's past except that he works for the Den-Den Company. At one point he came across the Straw Hat Pirates' ship and showed them a number of different items, trying to persuade them to buy something. After he realized they were pirates, he gets in his boat and takes off.

Items
To thank them, he tried to sell them all kinds of products, including Millennium Papers to Nami. After learning who Luffy and his friends are, he hurriedly fled the ship aboard his Snail-Mobile and was never heard from again. Some of the products he sells are:

 * Buru Buru Blade (ブルブルブレイド, Buru Buru Bureido): The Buru Buru Blade is possibly a weapon, being dangerous to children, while fine for adults.

It would take five to ten years to receive it, however this could be a lie so that Rice Rice could make more profit.
