Maccus

Maccus is an anime-only character that appears in the second TV Special. He, along with Bonney, escaped from Zap's ship and followed Amanda in search of a treasure.

Appearance
Maccus is a tall man, with a large afro. Part of his afro is put in a pony tail in the back. He also has stubble on his chin and large lips similar to Ussop's. His outfit consists of a yellow and green shirt with a orange letter "M" in the middle of shirt that he wears with red suspenders. He also has yellow sunglasses that he wears low on his nose and light brown cargo pants with brown boots.

Personality
When he is first introduced, Maccus seems extremely cowardly and unfaithful. When situations tend to get dangerous, he and Bonney are quick to suggest running away or abandoning treasure or Amanda and her siblings. However, they never actually run away and do stay with the kids.

Later, Maccus reveals himself to be quite brave and fights against pirates whom he knows he cannot defeat to protect Amanda and the others. He and Bonney are also very caring people, as they take the children in as adoptive parents towards them.

Maccus is not very good at lying, since he almost blew his and Bonney's cover when he was talking to the Straw Hat Pirates about vacationing with his "family".

Abilities and Powers
Maccus has shown little physical abilites. He has the strength of an average man, since he was able to move cargo and row a boat. He doesn't have enough strength to fight a well-armed pirate such a Zap, but does seem to have great endurance, as he stood to fight Zap continuously after being brutally beaten.

Weapons
Maccus is seen fighting with one the knives Zap threw into a wall, but he isn't skilled with it at all and had it taken from him by Zap and used against him.

Past
A month before meeting the Straw Hat Pirates, Maccus and Bonney were pirates looking for treasure. They were taken prisoner by Zap and used as laborers. While moving some stored cargo, he and Bonney came across Amanda and her siblings. Amanda striked a deal with the two to go to an island to find Amanda's father's treasure which Zap and the captain, Bayan, were looking for. They escaped on a small lifeboat to the island, and Maccus and Bonney dug for the treasure constantly.

Open Upon the Great Sea! A Father's Huge, HUGE Dream!
When the Straw Hat Pirates arrive on the island where Amanda's father hid his treasure, Maccus and Bonney begin to panick and hide with Amanda. Zoro sees them hiding, and the three reveal themselves, saying they are a family on vacation. When they fails to decieve the crew, Maccus and Bonney reveal their true intentions to find the treasure and Nami becomes extremely interested. The two take the Straw Hats to their temporary cave-like home they dug and introduce them to Holy and Milia.

Zap and the Bayan Pirates arrive at the island and capture Luffy and Amanda. The Straw Hats, Maccus, Bonney, and Amanda's younger siblings follow the crew to their main ship, where Bayan reveals himself and takes control of Luffy using his pirate choir. Luffy attacks his crew and their ship, but Ussop and Chopper thwart Bayan's plan.

Meanwhile, Maccus and Bonney sneak onto the ship and try to save Amanda, only for Zap to show up. Maccus and Bonney show their bravery and fight against Zap but are defeated.

After the Straw Hat Pirates defeat Bayan and Zap, Maccus and Bonney decide to become foster parents for Amanda, Holy, and Milia and they form a family. They go with the Straw Hats back to the island where the treasure is and reveal that it is a giant pearl inside of a giant clam that inhabited the island. The Straw Hat Pirates leave and Maccus, Bonney, and the children form a family.

Trivia

 * Maccus makes striking resemblances to Ussop. Both have similar lips and facial features, with Ussop having a longer nose. They both seem cowardly but are actually quite brave and willing to protect those they care about. Maccus, however, lacks the physical strength and fighting capabilities that Ussop posseses.
