Charlotte Perospero

Charlotte Perospero is the first son of the Charlotte Family. He is Totto Land's Minister of Candy who governs Candy Island.

Appearance
Perospero is a tall and slim man with very bushy hair gathered in the back, a pointed nose, and a very large tongue. He wears a long light jacket with a tall collar which reaches down to the bottom of his legs; its top buttons resemble large pieces of candy. His finger nails are pointed and painted, and he wears a large striped hat with lollipop-shaped objects on its rim and two polka-dotted drapes on the sides. His shoes appear to have a long tip spiraling inwards.

Personality
Perospero is sadistic, as he was gleeful about turning Caesar Clown into candy and licking him (presumably to death). Like his mother, he appears to have a strong fondness for sweets as shown when he was gluttonously licking a giant candy cane.

Like other people, he has a unique laugh: "Kukuku".

Abilities and Powers
As Minister of Candy, Perospero has authority over Candy Island in Totto Land. He is also a talented candy craftsman; at his mother's request, he was able to construct an exact replica of Caesar's laboratory in Punk Hazard out of candy.

Devil Fruit
Perospero ate the Pero Pero no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to turn objects into candy, including people.

Past
At some point, Perospero was ordered by Charlotte Linlin to use his devil fruit powers in order to construct a lab identical to Caesar Clown's lab located in Punk Hazard. He used the blueprints that his mother found, and then reinforced the building with iron to ensure no hazard.

Totto Land Arc
When Charlotte Linlin gave Caesar Clown another chance to complete his research on turning humans into giants and provided him a new lab, Perospero arrived at the lab with Caesar. He was holding Caesar's heart, which he came to be in possession of after Sanji gave it to Vito when they disembarked at Whole Cake Island. Perospero mocked Caesar with his heart, before threatening to turn him into candy and lick him (presumably to death) if he does not get results in two weeks.

Trivia

 * Perospero shares his mother's crew's fairy tale and fantasy fiction theme:
 * His name is possibly a pun on "pero pero", the Japanese sound effect for licking, and Prospero, a powerful sorcerer from William Shakepeare's play The Tempest.
 * He is similar to candymaker Willy Wonka from the Roald Dahl novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with his large top hat, coat, and cane. Additionally, they can both make unique candies (Perospero using his abilities) and have built large factories.
 * His appearance also resembles that of the Child Catcher, a character from the Ian Fleming children's novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
