Tamagon

Tamagon is a member of the Franky Family.

Appearance
Tamagon has a rounded body shape and is usually seen wearing goggles. He also wears a waistcoat as well as a red bowtie to match. Like the other members of the Franky Family, his lower body part is covered in bandages.

After the timeskip, he retains his signature bowtie and goggles, but now wears a Galley-La shirt and his hair is seen having slightly grown.

Personality
When he met Franky, Tamagon came to deeply respect him and called him "Aniki" just like the other Franky Family members. Though he has respect for Franky, he is quite mischievous, since he stole Franky’s swim briefs.

Abilities and Powers
During the raid of Enies Lobby he is shown wielding a sword and a bazooka. It is unknown how skilled he is. Like all of the Franky Family, he wears armor strong enough to block cannon fire.

Past
He joined Zambai's group during some point of his life. Afterwards, Tamagon, along with the rest of Zambai's gang, was given a job by Franky and the whole gang was assimilated into the Franky Family.

Water 7 Arc
After the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Water 7, the Franky Family mugged Usopp and stole 200,000,000 from him. When Usopp entered their house to take the money back, the Franky Family beat him up and threw him out.

Moments later, they fought against Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Chopper. Tamagon and the other Franky Family members were badly beaten. After Franky abducts Usopp later that night, the Franky Family tried to lure out the Straw Hat Pirates but caught the attention of CP9.

CP9 then beat up Tamagon and the others before heading to Franky's hideout where they abducted Franky and Usopp. After CP9 left Water 7, Tamagon and the others turn to the Straw Hats for help.

Enies Lobby Arc
Upon arriving at Enies Lobby, The Franky Family along with the Straw Hats and the Galley-La workers lay down their plan of attack. Franky family are supposed to move in and open the main gate. When they reach the main gate, they are faced against the two giants who guard it, Oimo and Kashi. Tamagon is on Zambai's team, which enters a fierce combat against the giants, and with the aid of Galley-La, they manage to bring them down, open the gate and lead the way for the upcoming Straw Hat pirates. The team, riding the giant King Bulls, advances towards the inner section of the island defeating foe after foe, until they reach the courthouse. There, they split in two groups in order to find the two seperate switches that lower the bridge to the Tower of Justice. Zambai, Paulie and a handful of Franky Family members, including Tamagon, engage the Three-Headed judge, Baskerville, in combat but are eventually subdued and apparently defeated.

Upon the news of the Buster Call's issue reaching them, Tamagon and his comrades are already freed by Paulie and desperately try to make a move and escape the island. When they reach the coast, the Franky Family come across the warship led by Vice Admiral Strawberry, who orders his men to attack the criminals. The team gets bombed and thrown off a cliff but are all saved at the last minute by Paulie's ropes. When finally, the Straw Hat pirates draw the attention of the marines, Zambai and Paulie lead their men aboard the sea train, thus escaping the burning island.

Post-Enies Lobby Arc
When Franky became a wanted man, the Franky Family tried to convince him to join the Straw Hat Pirates. Tamagon is the one who stole Franky's swim briefs and started the chase through out Water 7. When Franky found them, he managed to defeat them easily, including Tamagon.

Two Years Later
Tamagon is seen with Zambai and the other Franky Family members now a part of Galley-La.
