Gorilla

Captain Gorilla (ゴリラ大佐, Gorira Taisa) is a Marine officer who was sent to investigate on the Nightmare of Barujimoa accidentally caused by Franky.

Appearance
Captain Gorilla's face remarkably looks like his namesake, a gorilla: he has hairy sideburns and a big, particular nose that resembles those of gorillas. On his head he has a standard Marine cap. He is dressed in an attire fitting the cold climate of the island he was sent to investigate on: he sports a fur-lined cape with the Marine insignia on it and epaulets over what looks like a long coat with pockets on it. On his back he carries a standard flintlock rifle.

History
After the Nightmare of Barujimoa happened, Gorilla was sent to the devastated kingdom of Karakuri to investigate what really transpired. From what he and his subordinates could gather, the perpetrator was none other than the Cyborg Franky of the Straw Hat Pirates. Gorilla however had his doubts about whether this was true. The only way to get to Barujimoa as far as Gorilla knew was through the use of a large icebreaker and none had been reported. Apart from that, Gorilla also figured that it could have been one of the kingdom's many cyborg gorillas whose body shape could be mistaken for Franky.

Despite his doubts, Gorilla decided to accompany a search party that was headed to the mountains. There, he and his men had the unfortunate luck of encountering a flaming monster, not knowing in reality that it was really Franky running around due to the tiger skin rug he was wearing was on fire. Not knowing the truth, the incident became a legend passed down through the generations.
