Vasco Shot

Basco Shot is a large member of the Blackbeard Pirates (close to the size of a giant). Known as "Mighty Drinker" Basco Shot (大酒のバスコ・ショット, Ōzake no Basuko Shotto), he was one of the legendary criminals who was given a life sentence in Level 6 of Impel Down. Their crimes were so atrocious that they were effectively erased from history itself. He was initially mentioned briefly by Emporio Ivankov. He is currently taking part in the Whitebeard War alongside his new crew the Blackbeard Pirates.

Appearance
Basco is a very large and rotund man. In fact, of all the Blackbeard Pirates, his size is second only to San Juan Wolf. Having been brought out recently from Impel Down, he is first seen wearing the said prison's standard inmate attire of white and black horizontal stripes and what appears to be a jester's hat on his head. True to his moniker, he is also seen chugging on a large gourd of liquor upon his introduction. He has a very long nose and smiles drunkenly with his tongue sticking out.

Powers and Abilities
His abilities have yet been shown, but he was powerful enough to be contained in Level 6 of Impel Down when caught by the World Government.

Trivia

 * Basco Shot's name is possibly a reference to Tabasco (which is a brand of hot sauce as well as an important ingredient in many alcoholic drinks) and a shot glass, which doubles as a liquor measurement and drinking glass. Or maybe also from Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, or Micheal de Basco, a pirate and acquaintance of Francois l'Ollonais.
