Kawamatsu

Kawamatsu the Kappa is a samurai of Wano Country who once served Kozuki Oden until Oden's death 20 years ago. He is currently a prisoner of the Beasts Pirates in Udon's Prisoner Mine. He is also one of the Nine Red Scabbards.

Appearance
Little is known about Kawamatsu's appearance but according to Hiyori, he's a Kappa and also proud of that fact. He appears to have a large amount of hair that sticks upward. Both of his eyes are functioning.

Personality
He is very kind and caring as when one of the Beast Pirates attempted to attack Luffy, Kawamatsu silently aided him by attacking with a fish bone. After Hiyori was deeply traumatized after her parents' death, Kawamatsu did everything he could to cheer her up and even made jokes about his hunger. He seems to like fighting, as when Luffy and Hyogoro were battling in their execution, he expressed his desire to sumo fight as well.

Like other characters, Kawamatsu possesses a unique laugh: "Kappappappa".

Kozuki Family
As Oden's retainer, Kawamatsu is extremely loyal to the Kozuki Family. He was the one to helped Hiyori escaped from their enemies at Oden Castle and took care of Hiyori for 7 years of her childhood until he was captured and imprisoned. After reuniting with Raizo after twenty years, the first thing he did was asking about Momonosuke's safety, showing his concern for Oden's son. Unlike Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu is eager to fight alongside them in the war against Orochi and Kaido.

Beasts Pirates
During his 13 years of imprisonment at the prisoner mines, Kawamatsu refuses to submit to his enemies from servitude and defiantly stays in his cell chained up.

Abilities and Powers
Along with Denjiro and Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu is considered by Kin'emon to have been one of Oden's most powerful followers, being worth 100 men in battle.

Kawamatsu has immense endurance as he has been fed poisoned fish every day for thirteen years by the Beasts Pirates without dying or even suffering any illness like Tama, a feat which has baffled his captors. He is capable of spitting projectiles with great speed and precision, potentially turning them into deadly weapons if they are sharp enough. Thus, his guards are ordered to remove the bones of the fish they feed him. When they failed to do this, he was able to take out a guard by spitting the bone as a projectile that pierced his neck.

Past
Kawamatsu once served under Kozuki Oden until Oden was executed 20 years ago. After Momonosuke and some of Oden's retainers were sent to the future by Toki, Kawamatsu helped Hiyori escape the destruction of Oden Castle and took care of her until they were separated when Hiyori was 13. Seven years after the fall of Oden Castle, he was imprisoned in Udon where he was fed with a poisonous fish each day.

Wano Country Arc
After Monkey D. Luffy was brought to Udon, Kawamatsu spat a fishbone at one of the guards when the guard attempted to attack Luffy. He later witnessed Dobon's confrontation with Luffy and Eustass Kid.

When Luffy and Hyogoro were brought before Queen, Kawamatsu called out to Raizo while the ninja was in front of his cell. After revealing himself, he asked if Kozuki Momonosuke was okay. He then asked Raizo to help him escape so he could join the decisive battle against the Beasts Pirates during the Fire Festival. Raizo was spotted and forced to disappear in a smokescreen. Kawamatsu then noticed how Luffy had been causing a commotion and prayed that he would not let Hyogoro die.
