Penguin

Penguin is a member of the Heart Pirates.

Appearance
Penguin is an average sized lean man. Like most of the Heart Pirates he wears a beige overall, with their Jolly Roger displayed on the back and the chest pocket, as well as brown boots. He wears a black cap with a yellow brim, a red pompon on top and his name displayed on the front.

His appearance after the timeskip is pretty much the same as before except the red pompom has now been replaced with a decoration that looks like a young emperor penguin, probably as a reference to his name.

In Wano, he wore a yukata with the Heart Pirates' jolly roger on each side of the chest. He also carries a sword on his back.

Personality
Like Shachi, he likes women and is loyal to his captain, Law. As a teenager, he was a bully who was prone to mocking people and picking fights, and seemed to respect strength, as he joined up with Law after the latter beat up him and Shachi.

Abilities and Powers
He resisted the burst of Haki released by Silvers Rayleigh in the Human Auction House which shows that he has a strong will.

He has not yet been seen fighting in the manga, but in the anime, he has been seen using martial arts next to Shachi and is quite proficient at it.

Weapons
He was seen carrying a spear when defending Zou from Jack and his army.

Past
Eleven years before the start of the series, Penguin and Shachi were on Swallow Island in the North Blue, where they were bullying Bepo. Trafalgar Law then approached them, and Penguin and Shachi challenged him to a fight, but Law beat the two of them up. Impressed by Law, Penguin, Shachi, and Bepo joined him, forming the Heart Pirates.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Law and his crew came to the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. He was seen standing behind his captain as he talked to X Drake.

He is later seen with his captain at the Human Auctioning House, to observe the auction taking place. After interruptions by Luffy, the Heart Pirates found themselves fighting to escape, alongside Eustass Kid's and Luffy's crews, in the face of a daunting Marine attack.

Alongside the rest of his crew Penguin fought against one of the Pacifistas; though the outcome of this battle was not seen they eventually managed to escape.

Marineford Arc
During the Battle of Marineford, the Heart Pirates and Penguin were initially present on the Sabaody Archipelago where the broadcast of Ace's execution was being shown. He was presumably watching the events at Marineford unfold, along with the Supernovas and they set sail immediately after the broadcast was cut. He can be seen on the Heart Pirates submarine as they emerge towards the end of the war to pick up a critically injured Luffy and Jinbe.

Post-War Arc
Penguin lands on Amazon Lily alongside the rest of his crew and is seen trying to keep Luffy, maddened over the loss of his brother Ace, down so he does not injure himself further.

After Rayleigh arrives, the Heart Pirates leave Amazon Lily. Penguin expresses his disappointment about not getting a chance to see inside the all-female kingdom.

Later out in the open sea, Law explains about waiting for the right time to enter the New World. Law tells his crew to follow his orders so he can steal the proper throne. Penguin and his crewmates cheer for their captain.

Post Timeskip
While Law was staying at Punk Hazard, Penguin and the rest of the Heart Pirates crew went to Zou.

During the Beasts Pirates' invasion, the Heart Pirates assisted the Mink Tribe.

Zou Arc
Right after Wanda and Carrot stopped a fight between Luffy and a guardian, the Heart Pirates got reacquainted with Luffy and were excited to hear that Law is on Zou as well.

When Law arrived at their location, the Heart Pirates were overjoyed to be reunited with him.

After the Straw Hats returned to the Whale Forest, the Heart Pirates greeted Luffy but were then furious when Luffy and Law went on having a private conversation. The Heart Pirates and Luffy's crew (except Franky, Robin, and Brook) then partied with Nekomamushi and his subjects.

Wano Country Arc
After leaving Zou, the Heart Pirates infiltrated Wano Country. On top of a mountain, Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin spotted Luffy and Zoro through binoculars as the latter two entered Okobore Town. When Luffy and Zoro were heading to Bakura Town in pursuit of a Gifter that abducted a little girl, the trio informed Law about the situation.

On the way to Bakura Town, Bepo ate a fish from the polluted river and got sick, causing some delay to Law's group. After Luffy and Zoro wreaked havoc at Bakura Town, Penguin and Shachi met up with Law and Luffy's group at the ruins of Oden Castle.

Penguin was then seen sitting outside as Kin'emon told Luffy's group about Wano's past.
