Naguri

Naguri is an anime-only character and former pirate captain that lived in the Gray Terminal twelve years before the current storyline. It is unknown where he is, or even whether he is still alive right now.

He appears during the flashback showing the childhood of Luffy, Ace and Sabo, and saves them from a large rampaging bear.

Appearance
Naguri is an elderly man with long, grey, unkempt hair that goes down to his shoulders. He has thick eyebrows that almost completely cover up his eyes. The only time when his eyes are fully visible is when he is using Haki. He has always been seen wearing a long, brown hat that is slightly frayed along its brim. He wears sunglasses with orange lenses and a black rim on top of his hat. He wore a dark blue cloak that trails along the ground, which covers a lot of his body. He also has a beige smoking pipe along with him at all times.

Personality
He seems to have wisdom. He is also very peaceful since he allows others to pick on him without reacting with violence. He deeply respects Gol D. Roger, saying that it was an honor to battle with him and held no grudge against him.

Abilities and Powers
As a pirate captain, Naguri had great skills. He and his crew fought against the Roger Pirates, but they were easily defeated.

Haki
Naguri possesses Haoshoku Haki as he was able to just stare at a bear to stop it and send it back into the forest.

Weapons
Naguri wields a staff with a hammer head on the end of it. He is quite proficient in using it as he was able to send a bear flying several feet backwards with it.

History
In his days as a pirate captain, he and his crew fought against the Roger Pirates and were easily defeated. After that, his crew suffered major damage and eventually disbanded.

Many years later he settled in the Gray Terminal where he is known as an old man who, according to Sabo, invents "weird stuff" out of the junk he collects.

Later, on an expedition the trio performs, they fight with a large bear whom they are unable to defeat. However, Naguri calms it easily, forcing its retreat. The trio and Naguri then begin to eat the fish they wanted to use to lure the Giant Tiger, and he is surprised to know Ace is Gol D. Roger's son, but promises to keep it a secret.
