Hina

Captain Hina (ヒナ大佐 Hina Taisa) is a Marine Captain, and a former classmate of notable marine Smoker; she is also the object of both Jango and Fullbody's affections.

Appearance
Although featured with pink hair in the manga and pinkish-blonde hair in the Anime, originally Oda coloured her with golden blonde hair. She has large breasts and is somewhat attractive to the marines that are under her command, as well as to certain pirates. She has dark brown eyes and always wears red lipstick, a dark pink suit with a white blouse underneath and dark brown boots. She puts on a pair of brown gloves for battle and wears a white, gold-trimmed marine coat over her shoulders when not in battle.

Personality
She has received the nickname "Hina the Black Cage" (黒檻のヒナ Kuro-Ori no Hina) because of her Ori Ori no Mi ability, which allows her to form restraints on people by swiping her limbs through them. Hina has a tendency to speak in the third person, though this only seems to add to her attractiveness for her subordinates. It is usual for young children in Japan to refer to themselves by using their own name like "Hina fail". This is seen as "cute". For her part, however, she coldly spurns any advances made towards her.

Relationships
She is a long-time friend of Commodore Smoker, joining the Marines at the same time as him, and helping him getting out of situations where Smoker could have been fired.

She is usually followed around by her two admirers Jango and Fullbody. While she finds them a bother and coldly turns away all their efforts to win her affection (thinking of them somewhat as "dorks" more than anything), she still however allows them to become her subordinates.

Abilities and Powers
Hina is a skilled unarmed combatant, being able to beat Mr. 2 Bon Kurei in a one-on-one fight.

Devil Fruit


Hina has eaten the Devil Fruit Ori Ori no Mi, granting her the ability to let others pass through her body, in the process getting encaged in a ring of iron. She can also extend her arms to form a cage to produce the same effects to people who pass through its bars.

Weapons
Aside from being a tough Marine and a Devil Fruit user, Hina also has at her disposal the Black Cage Corps. So far only "Black Cage Corps: Black Spear Squadron" has been seen.

Past Story
Years ago, she was at the Marine academy training alongside Smoker. While she was a shining example student, Smoker was a troublemaker and Hina had to bail him out on several occasions.

Recruiting Two Idiots
Hina is first seen in Jango's mini-series, when Jango and Fullbody spot her and become her followers.

Battle at Arabasta
Hina is formally introduced during the attack on the Straw Hat Pirates at Arabasta as they try to leave. She is forced out of formation by Mr. 2 using his Mane Mane no Mi powers to trick her. Later she has no other choice but to give up chasing them after Luffy threw the spears the "Black Cage Corps: Black spear Squadron" had fired at them back in their direction, damaging the ships much to Hina's annoyance.

Capturing Baroque Works
She is next seen in the Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works" mini-series capturing Miss Valentine. She was once again tricked by Mr. 2's Mane Mane no Mi powers when he disguised himself this time as Mr. 3.

Gathering at Marineford
When the execution of Portgas D. Ace was announced, Hina reported to the summoning of the Marines to reinforce Mariejois.

War at Marineford


Three hours before Ace's execution, she was seen listening to Sengoku's speech about Ace's past. She later attacks Luffy but the pirate activates Gear Second to dodge Hina's attempt to ensnare him, Hina then ends up attacking her own allies. She was then seen silently admitting defeat to herself.

At the end of the war, she is seen standing next to her fellow marines.
