Crocus

Seiyu: Goro Naya Crocus (クロッカス, Kurokkasu) is Laboon's caretaker and the overseer of the Lighthouse that guides ships coming down from Reverse Mountain into the Grand Line. He is the one who explains to the Straw Hat Pirates how the Grand Line works, about Log Poses (Grand Compasses in the English version), Raftel (the last island of the Grand Line and supposed resting place of One Piece) and Laboon's situation. He also has a house inside Laboon when he's not working the lighthouse. He may have had a past connection with Gold Roger (when Luffy's crew departed he said to himself "That man had a mysterious air about him. Don't you think so? Roger...) He has a running gag where he glares fixedly, apparently activating a series of dramatic jump-cuts, for no real reason. He was removed from the English dub, along with the entire Laboon arc.
