Kalgara

Calgara (カルガラ, Karugara) was a hero of the Shandians who lived while Upper Yard was still a part of Jaya (some 400 years ago), and who befriended the explorer Montblanc Norland (the ancestor of Montblanc Cricket). A statue of him was erected after his death as an eternal reminder to the Shandians of his strength and courage. He had a daughter named Musse. Wiper is a direct descendant of his.

Personality
Calgara was quick to react and a strong believer in traditions of his people. He was hugely mistrusting of strangers. Calgara's personality changed after he met Norland with many of his outtakes of the world changing alongside it. One particular note was that after seeing his God for what it truly was (a giant snake), he dismisses all Gods including the Skypieans "God".

Powers and Abilities
Not much is known about Calgara, except that he was considered the Shandian tribe's greatest warrior and has been shown to fight on even terms with Norland, and killed a giant snake himself, demonstrating he was incredibly strong (It should be stressed that both his descendant Wiper and Zoro couldn't so much as harm the snake Norla of the same size).

He is also apparently very fast, as he has been known to swiftly dispatch intruders as soon as they appear on the island. Those that have heard of any legends about him often compare him to a demon.

History
After their dying priest had a 'vision', he declared the only way to stop the "curse" that was plaguing their land was to sacrifice thir most beautiful woman. Musse, Calgara's daughter, went willing to the alter in order to save the rest of her people. She was about to be sacrifice to god, but she was saved by Montblanc Norland who convinced the Shandians that this plague was curable and not a curse from the gods.

However, Norland gained their trust and Calgara's friendship by curing a disease that was plaguing their tribe. Their friendship went as far as Calgara showing Norland the fabled city of gold, and sharing the wealth fully.

However, some tensions ran between the two when Norland cut down an entire forest, whose trees the Shandians believed to hold the souls of their ancestors. Norland did so because the trees were the source of the disease that plagued the Shandians in the first place, and decided to leave anyway, as he and his crew were once again seen as outsiders. However, Calgara realized the truth too late, as Norland's crew was already on their boat, and leaving.

This didn't stop Calgara though, and he rang the golden bell that first attracted Norland to Jaya, promising that he would wait for Norland's return. Sadly that was not to be, as one fateful day, the part of the island they were on was shot into the air by the Knock Up Stream and into Skypiea, where it attracted the attention of the "god" of the time, who then proceeded to attack it and the Shandians in order to claim it as his own.

Though it is never revealed how Calgara met his end, the last seen of him was shouting to his warriors that they must protect the land so that their friend Norland can return.

Merchandise
He featured in was the One Piece Full Color R Gashapon series and One Piece Unlimited Adventure as an optional boss. He is a level 5 character, which means that his strength rivals that of extremely powerful one piece characters like Luffy, Aokiji and even Whitebeard.
