Emporio Ivankov

Emporio Ivankov, Iva for short, is the former "Queen" of the Kamabakka Kingdom who is known as a "miracle person". He is currently a prisoner of Impel Down kept in Level 5, but lives in a secret "Okama Paradise" within the same level.

Personality
Ivankov: I used a little to much energy... my anemia.. I'm.. I'm..

Crowd: Iva! Are you okay!?!

Ivankov: I'm fiiiine!!!

Crowd: Oh so your fine after all! OK, you got me!

— Typical Ivankov scene As an okama, Iva is an effeminate cross dressing homosexual man. "He" also has a tendency to put "kama" at the end of a sentence, and sometimes proclaims the exact opposite of a statement "he" has just said (such as saying that "he" wouldn't mind being called "Crap", before hastily announcing that "he" would not be referred to as such). "He" is noted for not being picky on what Japanese honorific someone can use when addressing "him".

He also believes that people should be what they want to be whether it be a man, a woman, or an okama and is very loud and open, even perverse, about his ideals. He doesn't care for other people's objections to his views, even turning a man who tries to kill him into a woman, despite the guy (now girl) was embarrassed by his ordeal and had previously stated he objected to Ivankov's views. He states that as a prisoner of Impel Down he is not such a good person he would save someone's life. However, when touched by the words of friendship, he considers their life worth saving.

Abilities and Powers
As the queen of Kamabakka Kingdom, Iva controls an island of male homosexual transvestites, giving him a similar status on par with Boa Hancock, who rules over Amazon Lily. As he is now retired, his position as ruler has been forfeit. He is considered the greatest okama in the world. In Impel Down he apparently began setting up his new kingship (or queenship) and now commands a small army of "New Kama Okama" followers, all of which were former prisoners.

Ivankov apparently has some sort of "miraculous power" that he has used to cure people and kingdoms who were considered "hopeless cases".

He has also been shown deflecting a cannonball with a wink and also turning a man into a woman after hitting them. Another of these powers Bon Kurei believes will enable him to save Luffy from Magellan's poison.

It is unknown if his powers all stem from a Devil Fruit power or if he has separate powers.

Abilities and Techniques

 * Death Wink: A technique in which Ivankov can repel a projectile aimed at him back where it came from merely by winking. By simply batting his eyelashes, the gush of wind created by them is capable of sending a projectile away.
 * Emporio Female Hormones: Through touch Ivankov apparently releases female hormones into another person's body, which can turn those it's used on into women. It is also likely that he can also turn a woman into a man.

History
Before he was sent to Impel Down, he apparently was responsible for many "miracles" people would seek out his help for many things, including making them become an Okama.

Iva was captured "without rhyme nor reason" and sent to Level 5 in Impel Down where criminals whose bounties are more than 100,000,000 are kept. However, some time after he was captured, he somehow completely disappeared from his cell without a trace. Since then however, there have been sightings of a man roaming around a forest near an abandoned guard's office. It turns out he and all the other people who were thought disappeared are actually under the sewers of Level 5, where he rules a kingdom of okamas which he calls The New Kama Kingdom. After he and Inazuma found Mr. 2 Bon Kurei and Luffy, Luffy begged for the two to save Bon Kurei, while he himself was in worse shape.

While he is making an entrance a prisoner comes seeking revenge against Iva for his father becoming an okama after visiting Kambakka Kingdom, he shot a cannonball at Iva. After pretending to be scared he winked at the cannonball and launched it back. Then he transformed his attacker with female hormones into a woman. After he informed Bon Kurei that Luffy is in the healing process from the poison and will be finished in 2 days.

Trivia
The personality and actions of Ivankov resembles Tim Curry's character, Dr. Frank N. Furter, from the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ivankov's face, however, resembles the kabuki-like face make-up of Kiss singer Gene Simmons with Tim Curry's facial characteristics. His use of the term "candy" such as calling Bon Clay "candy boy" may be a reference to the song, Sweet Transvestite from The Rocky Horror Picture Show where Tim Curry sings, "He's just a little brought down because when you knocked, he thought you were the candyman."
