Pell

Pell
Pell (ペル) is one of the commanders of the Alabastan guard and the strongest fighter in Alabasta. He ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Falcon (トリトリの実 モデル隼(ファルコン) Bird Bird Fruit, Model Falcon, called the "Tweet Tweet Fruit" in the English anime) and thus can transform into a falcon, and has earned him the kickname "Peregrine Falcon Pell" due to his bird powers. The fruit is apparently one of five that have been discovered that give the user the ability to fly. Since the fruit is a Zoan type, he has 3 types of transformations meaning that he can turn into a falcon or a man/falcon hybrid, as well as maintain his natural human form.

He fights against Miss All-Sunday aka Nico Robin but is easily defeated. After the fight he helps save Luffy and carries him to Alubarna. During the Alabasta Arc, Sir Crocodile had set up a massive bomb to blow up the capital city Alubarna. Princess Nefertari Vivi and the Straw Hats managed to find the bomb but couldn't disarm it. Pell sacrificed himself by carrying the bomb high into the sky where it exploded harmlessly. However, near the end of the Alabasta arc, a shop owner is calling to a person who left his hat that looked supiciously like Pell. He was proven alive and well at the end of the Alabasta arc when he approaches his own grave in disturbed astonishment. Pell was again seen when Koza's uncle and ex-Priest Gedatz opened up a tunnel from Alabasta to a hot spring resort.

In a recent Japanese Fan Poll, Pell is currently ranked the 27th most popular character in One Piece.
