Bacura

Bacura (バキュラ Bakyura) is a black panther owned by the Kuja Pirates under Boa Hancock.

He is said to be the executioner of the Kuja tribe, and has been serving for them for generations. All of his victims were devoured to the point where even the bones were gone.

He was sent to kill Luffy in the battle arena in Amazon Lily, but Luffy defeated him quickly with a single punch.

Trivia

 * A variant of his name makes up the first part of the word "bacularia", another name for the genus linospadix; which follows Amazon Lily's tradition of having its inhabitants named after flowers or flowering plants. It's unknown whether this is intentional or coincidental.
 * His name also bears a resemblance to Bagheera, the black Indian Leopard from Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book". Again, it is unknown whether or not this is intended by the author.
