Blondie

Blondie is an infamous New World pirate who allied himself with Whitebeard.

Appearance
Blondie is a large, round man with black circles around his eyes and some stubble around his chin. He has what appears to be a small pet lion on his head, right over his pirate captain's hat, which has a Jolly Roger with a lion-like mane on it. He wears a standard pirate captain's coat draped over his shoulders like a cape, and striped shirt.

Personality
Blondie always retains a rather playful appearance, smiling and carrying his pet lion on his head even during battle.

Abilities and Powers
Blondie is a fearsome pirate who has managed to make himself an infamous reputation in the New World, and to ally himself with Whitebeard.

Weapons
He was seen wielding two bizarre swords both having the shape of a double hook. Their overall shape resembled that of urumi. It might be assumed that he's proficient at using them.

Past
Some time prior to the current storyline, Blondie became a known pirate in the New World, and allied himself with Whitebeard.

Marineford Arc
When Portgas D. Ace was to be executed at Marineford, Blondie and his crew joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to save him. He was seen attacking the Marines out of the bay with his fellow allies, and later managed to enter it. After Squardo stabbed Whitebeard and claimed that the Yonkou sold out his allies to save Ace, Blondie began to doubt Whitebeard.

Major Battles

 * Whitebeard Pirates and their allies vs. the Marines and Shichibukai

Trivia

 * His name is given in the anime's credits, not in the manga, and therefore cannot be considered canon. However, it is possible that Oda himself told Toei the names of the New World allies.
