Bogard

Bogart is a Marine Headquarters Marine and the right hand man of Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp. His actual rank is currently unknown.

Appearance
Bogart is an average sized man with short hair. He wears a marine coat, which is draped over his shoulders. He also wears a grey suit which matches to his grey hat that creates a shadow over his eyes which is why they are never seen lest he pushes his hat up on purpose.

He has his katana on his left hip, attached to his belt with a brown strap. The sword has a grey-wrapped hilt, a golden rounded-cross shaped tsuba and a deep green sheath.

Bogart seems to wear an apparently perpetual scowl on his face due to the corners of his mouth always pointing downwards, even as a young marine, emphasizing his air of seriousness. On the rare occasions he smiles, it appears more like a smirk.

Personality
He appears to be loyal to Garp, as he has been seen multiple times throughout the series at the vice admiral's side, and is notably much quieter than his superior, only speaking when absolutely needed. Bogart seems to enjoy smoking the kiseru pipe, doing so during Garp's test of Coby and Helmeppo, underscoring his air of absolute calm.

Abilities and Powers


He seems to be skilled in using a sword, as his first reaction to Morgan breaking free and attacking Garp was reaching for his katana, clearing the habaki as to strike immediately. Also he was able to cut up Coby's guns into small pieces without hurting him in mere seconds, using a iai form, as the sword was seen to be re-sheathed afterwards. Later, he was seen training Coby and Helmeppo, using only one hand (and his less dominant at that) to defend himself against a total of three swords. Given that his sword is carried on the left and, when Morgan attacked Garp, he used his right to reach for it, Bogart is presumably mostly right-handed.

A Storm in the Edd War


Twenty seven years ago, Bogart was in Kong's office when Garp was asked again to accept the rank of admiral. When the Marines learned that the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates were about to battle in the Edd War, Garp decided to end the reunion and turned down another promotion, even though Kong did not agree and ordered him to stay. Bogart then nodded at the Fleet-Admiral and left the office with Garp, who was willing to head for the New World in order to defeat Gol D. Roger.

Current Events
He was instrumental in training Coby and Helmeppo. He was also seen with Vice Admiral Garp in Water 7 after the Enies Lobby incident. It is unknown what Bogart decided to do after Garp resigned from the Marines after the Battle of Marineford.

Anime and Manga Differences
His name was revealed in the Episode 68 credits and was never mentioned in the manga which makes the name non-canon. Also in the anime version of the Diary of Coby-Meppo, Bogart was never seen cutting Coby's guns as Coby did not carry any.

Trivia

 * He resembles the actor, Humphrey Bogart, most notably in Casablanca in terms of appearance and name.
 * He may be considered similar to Roronoa Zoro where both are swordsmen and, much like Zoro having deep respect towards Luffy, Bogart has deep respect towards Garp.
