Herring

Herring is a male character of the One Piece OVA. He is the father of Medaka.

Appearance
Herring is an average sized man, with short blue hair, black eyebrows, and a bit of stubble on his chin. Herring wears square glasses, and a green short sleeves shirt with pockets in the front and a collar, with a red patch on the left sleeve. Underneath, he wears a tan colored V-neck shirt. He wears light colored pants, that are tucked into his large normal boots.

Personality
Herring cares deeply for the well-being of his daughter and all their fellow islanders; he has few compunctions about risking his life against any threat to them, even one as well-armed as the Ganzack Pirates. At the same time, he is prudent and patient enough to bide his time against unfavorable odds.

Abilities and Powers
Though not a trained combatant, Herring is an able-bodied man, and willing to use improvised weapons ranging from shovels to dynamite. He is also a capable leader and strategist.

Past
A few weeks before the Straw Hat Pirates were shipwrecked and came to the island, Herring and many other citizens were captured by the invading Ganzack Pirates and forced to work as slaves in the "Devil's Tower".

Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack!
When Medaka and the Straw Hats first entered the base, Herring appeared being hassled by a guard. Medaka tried to defend him but ended up starting a fight. She, along with Luffy and Zoro, were then captured and Ganzack and his crew celebrated. While the crew was distracted, Herring fired up the other prisoners and started a riot. Ganzack, however, showed up and shot Herring's left shoulder, which prevented him from fighting. Medaka returned and defended her father from Ganzack's wrath, but Luffy, Zoro, and Nami showed up to defeat Ganzack. He and his crew tried to escape on their ship, and Herring told Medaka not to go after them with Luffy and Zoro. She did not heed his warning and went along with them. While Luffy was fighting Ganzack, Herring, the other former prisoners, and Nami defeated Plesiosaur with dynamite. After Ganzack was defeated, Herring was seen with his daughter and father sending the Straw Hats on their way.
