Sarquiss

"Big Knife" Sarquiss was the first mate of the Bellamy Pirates, with a bounty of 38,000,000 on his head. His epithet originates from the large dagger he always wields, which bears a strong resemblance to a massive kukri.

Due to his actions, he can be considered a supporting antagonist of the Jaya Arc.

Appearance
Sarquiss is a tall, muscular man with white skin. He has wavy, shoulder-length blue hair and wears a purple-tinted visor over his eyes. He also wears a white-furred coat over his bare chest in addition to golden chains that are either a necklace or a clasp. He has red-and-white striped gloves and pants with the same pattern alongside a gold belt.

On Sarquiss' bare chest is a tattoo of Doflamingo's Jolly Roger: a smiley with a cancel symbol. He also has the symbol on his belt.

When he was younger, he did not wear glasses, he wore a yellow sleeved shirt, a dark red jacket, and carried a sword on his back.

Personality
As far as personality is concerned, Sarquiss appears to not be very bright, but just as over-confident and self-absorbed as the rest of the pirates in Bellamy's crew. He was somewhat classy and prejudiced as he gave Luffy, Zoro and Nami a few Bellys a pity so they could buy decent clothes. He interpreted Zoro and Luffy's refusal to fight back when Bellamy challenged them at Terry's bar as an act of cowardice, and insisted that Bellamy's quick defeat at Luffy's hands was a "lucky shot" and even attempted to challenge the younger pirate, only to cringe once the Straw Hat captain finally gave Sarquiss his attention. Unfortunately he did not seem to learn from this, as soon after Luffy leaves, he ends up bumping into Blackbeard and made a rude remark towards him and continues to badmouth Luffy, to which the captain promptly smashes Sarquiss into the ground.

Just like his captain, he strongly believes that a New Age is coming and laughs at anyone who mentions their dreams. He also falsely believes that a bounty serves as a rating of a person's fighting level, making him believe himself to be a more powerful fighter than he truly is.

Abilities and Powers
Sarquiss possesses a bounty of 38,000,000, an indication of his danger. He seems to be quite agile, but Cricket outclassed him and Blackbeard defeated him with great ease.

Big Knife
Sarquiss uses a giant dagger, which resembles a giant kukri, to fight. It's what gave him his nickname: "Big-Knife" Sarquiss. He usually spins the blade like a windmill in front of him, as to show off. From his one named technique, Sarquiss shows certain acrobatic skills.




 * Big Chop: Sarquiss' only-known named attack, where he spins vertically and uses his trademark, the "Big Knife" to turn himself into a human buzz-saw. He first used this against Masira, spinning vertically while jumping, cutting Masira multiple times.

Others
During the time the Bellamy Pirates were still in North Blue, Sarquiss wielded a katana on his back.

History
Sarquiss, just like the rest of his crew members was all born in North Blue, specifically in a peaceful town known as Notice. During their childhood, they heard the fairy tale Liar Noland and were often told by adults that if they lied a lot, they'd be executed like Noland.

Growing up, he and the other crew members left the town to become pirates. When they met Donquixote Doflaming o, the latter gave them the possibility of wearing his Jolly Roger as long as they didn't dishonor him.

Jaya Arc
While sitting at the counter at Wild Cherry with Lily, Bellamy gets his attention, so he asks him what he wants. His captain asks him to confirm that he has seen Roshio 's dirty tricks. Sarquiss then claims that he cheated and that he is a scoundrel who likes to play dirty. The man replies not to even try and asks if they understand who they are dealing with, however Bellamy shoot him in the leg and smash a bottle of alcohol on his head. Sarquiss then throws a lit match at Roshio, who catches fire before breaking through the window and falling from the building.

He returns with Lily to the hotel, where he sees Luffy, Zoro and Nami with Spector. He asks the latter who they are, while Lily tells him to kick them out given how much they paid for the entire facility. Sarquiss agrees with her and invites one of the three to leave.Luffy then asks Nami if she would annoy him if she gave him a lesson, but Cirkeys replies that she pities him, dropping money in front of him so that he can buy more decent clothes. Lily points out that it's a waste to give them to guys like that, so he laughs and then argues with her again. After seeing Luffy's 30,000,000 wanted poster, Sarquiss comments about some of his companions and looking at the wanted poster, he is amused by the fact that that scrawny boy is worth so much, stating that he is interesting and will show it to Bellamy.

After showing the poster to the latter, the whole crew reaches the Pub and Pies, which he criticizes by asking those present how they can drink in such a place. Immediately afterwards he hits men with his weapon to free some chairs, and after sitting down, he addresses those present as rude for not having made room for them. He then licks the blood off one of his arms. He then laughs as Bellamy grabs Luffy's head and smashes it against the counter, which shatters. The tension between the pirates rises and when Luffy is about to face Bellamy, he is stopped by Nami, who asks bartender for information on how to get to the island in the sky. Those present then all burst out laughing and after seeing many throw glasses, bottles, barrels and more at the three pirates, telling them to leave the city, Sarquiss points out to Bellamy that apparently they want the show to go on.

When Nami asks her teammates to beat them up, Sarquiss says that they don't fight because they know they don't stand a chance against them. He then points out that there has been a huge scandal recently over a 30,000,000 bounty being attached to someone like Luffy. After the humiliation of the two pirates, Sarquiss asks Nami to join them and leave them, as he won't regret it. Although she refuses, which makes Sarquiss sneer again. Sitting down to drink, he hears a ruckus outside the tavern and asks what's going on.

Later, Sarquiss and the rest of the crew went to Jaya to attack the Saruyama Alliance for their gold. Sarquiss tries to attack Cricket, but Masira shields him with his body and then falls to the ground unconscious. He then tells them that they must have understood that they don't stand a chance against them and that this is the best justification for a robbery. Shoujou uses a sound wave attack that produces his voice, which affects everyone, but Bellamy silences him with a violent punch, throwing him into the sea. The captain then orders his crew to retrieve the gold in order to leave quickly. Once on the ship, the crew heads back to Mock Town.

Inside the Pub and Pies, he and other members of his crew taunt Mashira and Orangutan, stating that even though their faces were bloody, they were still moaning and worrying about Cricket. Sarquis points out that if they had cared that much, they might have even worked harder. Suddenly, Jobo enters the club and informs Bellamy that the pirates they mistreated in the morning have rewards of 100,000,000 and 60,000,000, surprising everyone. When they heard Luffy yell at Bellamy, Sarquiss and those present come out to watch. He then tells Jobo to throw away the poster of Luffy, telling him that Luffy doesn't look dangerous at all, where he also doubts if his earlier reward was real. As Bellamy uses his powers to increase the speed of him bouncing between the various buildings there, Sarquiss yells at him to kill Luffy at once, as he has no right to live, only for the latter to defeat his captain. only one push.

Sarquiss can't believe his eyes and tells Bellamy to come to his senses and not to joke around; however no response is obtained. At that moment, Luffy's reward letter, blown by the wind, covers his face and, looking at him, he sees him thinking about what he had been told moments before, deeply surprised. Luffy then orders the gold to be returned. After the latter takes it, Sarquiss states that he was lucky, so he yells at him that he will have to fight him before he leaves and that they were not going to be defeated by a dreamer like him, while Rivers stops him. Seeing him stop and look at him, Sarquiss is scared to the point of falling over and hears Luffy saying that he intends to go to heaven.

Later, Sarquiss meets Blackbeard, who he taunts and tells him to get out of his sight, warning him that he is in a bad mood. However, the latter grabs his head, knocking it to the ground and knocking him unconscious.

Long Ring Long Land Arc


After Luffy easily defeated Bellamy, they were paid a visit by Donquixote Doflamingo, who, with his powers, forced Bellamy and Sarquiss to fight each other as punishment for disgracing themselves under his flag. Sarquiss begged for mercy, and Bellamy pleaded for another chance, but Doflamingo merely laughed and forced Sarquiss to slash his captain with his "Big Knife".

Later Events
Later, he would travel with Bellamy and the other members of the crew to a Sky Island, finding a golden pillar in the process.
