Gyogyo

Gyogyo is a member of the Bonney Pirates. He was once a resident of the Sorbet Kingdom, having been a friend of Bartholomew Kuma and Ginny since childhood.

After the Summit War of Marineford, he was arrested by Admiral Akainu following his crew's defeat against the Blackbeard Pirates.

Appearance
Gyogyo is an overweight man with large lips, freckles, a bulbous nose and a full beard. He has tribal tattoos on his biceps.

Gyogyo wears a tank top with the phrase "GREAT ME" printed and a pair of suspenders, plus a cowboy hat.

Personality
As a child, Gyogyo was once somewhat of a bully, throwing rocks at Kuma because he thought the boy was lying about his age. However, after Kuma used his powers to heal Gyogyo from Ginny's assault, they became friends.

Gyogyo was attracted to Ginny like many of the boys in Sorbet. He was also fiercely loyal to Kuma, starting riots at the kingdom's Castle Town after Kuma was unjustly imprisoned for protesting the enslavement of citizens.

Past
Gyogyo grew up in the Sorbet Kingdom. As a child, he and another boy threw rocks at Bartholomew Kuma because they did not believe the unusually large boy was really nine years old. The boys were subsequently heavily beaten up by Ginny. However, Kuma showed compassion towards them and pushed away their pain. Afterwards, Gyogyo and the other boy befriended Kuma and Ginny and helped them carry wood to sell it.

25 years ago, Gyogyo was smitten with Ginny and once brought fish to Kuma's church to gift to her. 22 years ago, Gyogyo and other men joined Ginny in an attempt to free Kuma from jail, but the group was defeated and arrested. They were freed when Monkey D. Dragon and the Freedom Fighters overthrew the corrupt king Bekori.

At some point, he joined the Bonney Pirates, the crew of Kuma's daughter Jewelry Bonney.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
Gyogyo and the Bonney Pirates were in a restaurant on the Sabaody Archipelago where Bonney was devouring large quantities of food. When she complaining about the staff being too slow, Gyogyo reassured her that they were cooking as fast as they could.

Post-War Arc
Gyogyo and the Bonney Pirates made it to the New World, where they encountered the Blackbeard Pirates and were subsequently defeated and tied up. They were then arrested by Admiral Akainu and the Marines. Although Bonney managed to escape later, it is unknown where Gyogyo and the rest of the crew were taken afterwards.

Trivia

 * Gyo (魚) means "fish" in Japanese, meaning his name could be taken as "fish fish". This fits the scene of him gifting fish to Ginny.
