Bearman

Bearman is a non-canon Gifter in the Beasts Pirates.

Appearance


Bearman is a huge, green-furred, upright-walking bear, his full-bodied animal self hiding his normal human head inside his expressionless, button-eyed bear head, visible whenever the latter's mouth opens. The fur of his frontal torso (corresponding to a bear's underside) is slightly lighter. Visible on his back is his short, bushy bear's tail.

For clothing, the Gifter dons a detached, white fur collar, a pair of pink, spiked pauldrons underlined with yellow fur, a pair of brownish-orange leather belts crossed on his front and back torso (connecting to the pauldrons), and a pair of blue-purple, baggy pants with a pink flap of cloth on either side and a turqoise belt whose gold-rimmed buckle looks distinct (showing orange, mildly swirled jags pointing inward). The aforesaid pants are tucked into simple, dark boots.

Personality
Bearman appears to be somewhat gluttonous, taking the prospect of getting to eat all the Udon prisoner's dangos as motivation to defeat an opponent. He has exhibited the verbal tic of ending his sentences with "-bear" (～ベア).

Devil Fruit
Bearman ate from a Bear SMILE (クマの), which had him permanently take on the physical attributes of a bear. For offense, as noted by Hyogoro, the Gifter wields a bear's claws capable of severing human bodies. Defensively, he is tough enough to endure a small barrage of normal punches (not imbued with Busoshoku Haki) from Monkey D. Luffy and be unfazed, even having the Straw Hat take note of his toughness.

Wano Country Arc
Bearman first appeared at the Udon Prisoner Mine to fight Luffy in Queen's Sumo Inferno, after Luffy had defeated Batman and Gazelleman. Bearman noted his hungriness and how, if he defeated the Straw Hat, he may be granted the prisoners' food supply of dangos all to himself, which Queen affirmed to motivate him. As the fight began, Bearman extended his claws to try to hit the enemy pirate with paw strikes, but Luffy easily dodged and consequently hit the opposing Gifter with a barrage of non-Haki-imbued punches to the gut, which failed to work. This led to Luffy noting how, while Bearman was indeed tough, Kaido was far tougher, and thus launching another punch to his foe's abdomen, this time infused with Ryuo and strong enough to take down Bearman, knocking him out.
