Haredas

Haredas is an old man who lives in Weatheria. In the anime, Haredas uses a technique in the form of a bubble-like barrier that allows him to be unfazed by the extreme weather while walking in Weatheria. Whether this is some new (or old) technique or possibly a type of technology native to the sky islands is unknown at this time.

Personality
Haredas has shown to have a rather carefree upbeat personality, smiling and seemingly enjoying himself mostly. He is also slightly absent-minded and bumbling.

History
Haredas first appears when Nami ends up on Weatheria, due to the events of Sabaody Archipelago. He shows her around the island, and showing her how to use the wind knot to bring rain and climate changes.

When Nami was locked up for stealing weather equipment, Haredas, having fallen for her fake tears, let her go after hearing about her captain Monkey D. Luffy and the pain he was in of losing his brother Portgas D. Ace in the Whitebeard War. As soon as she was released, Nami kidnaps him and takes the stolen goods with her as well. Nami runs off with Haredas under her arm, and telling him to help her to return to the Blue Seas. When she was crying again (this time true due to her feelings for Luffy), Haredas believed it to be once again fake, and brings it up, to which Nami snapped at him to be quiet.
