Urouge

Urouge  is a monk turned pirate (or a monk-themed pirate) who hails from a sky island like Skypiea. He is one of eleven pirates who have been referred to as "The Eleven Supernovas" on Sabaody Archipelago whose bounties are higher than 100,000,000 when the Straw Hats arrive in the place. He is the one with the lowest bounty of the said eleven. Urouge is from a Sky Island, judging by the style of the wings on his back this would indicate he is of Bilkan origins.

Appearance
A huge pirate, Urouge is abundant in both height and width. He also dresses in similar robes to the Enforcers underneath the khaki robes he wears (which is also worn by the rest of his crew)which includes the white full-bodied garment with severed sleeves that exposes the tattoos patterned like flamed on both biceps. Like Basil Hawkins, Urouge also wears black gloves and also possesses a rather large bead necklace of red-colored beads around his neck. As for his facial features, Urouge's face somewhat resembles a smiling totem mask as he's always seen smiling, even when he is unhappy. Apart from his smile, he also has what appears to be a stitched-up scar vertically descending over and falling short just above his left eye; and on his chin he has a prominent and very dark (jet-black, in fact) scruffy beard that extends upwards to the sides of his jaw and then converges with his equally-dark side-burns. As for his hairstyle, he seems to sport the short and clean-cut sort generally sported by monks.

Crew
He's called "High Priest" by his men.

Powers and Abilities
Urouge's choice of weapon appears to be a large piece of a pillar with a hexagonal base which he uses like a mace to pummel opponents with. When not in use, it is seen slung over his shoulder most of the time.

Urouge also has an ability that increases the proportions of his body to a gargantuan size. This ability also appears to increase his muscle mass, to the point where he was able to match Kuma's body size (if not exceed it). Whether this ability comes from a Devils Fruit or not is unknown

Attacks
Inga Zarashi (Bleaching Karma): After transforming to his gigantic, muscular size, Urouge punches his target multiple times with immense force. This was first seen used against a Pacifista unit.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
He was first seen having a brief brawl with Killer, of the Kid Pirates; and both were stopped by the former-marine-turned-pirate X. Drake before either could do further damage.

Urouge was next seen being told by his crew that a World Noble was coming their way, and consented along with the other pirates and civilians to pay their respect by lowering themselves to their knees. He has shown respect for Zoro by standing up and almost trying to kill a tenryuubito, while he himself preferred to "sit it off". He also pondered the strength of the Straw Hat Captain, to have a First Mate with such a high bounty on his crew and yet still maintain that crew member's subordination.

When reading of Ace's planned execution, he did not lose his eternal smile, however, he seemed disturbed.

When the news of Luffy attacking a Tenryuubito spread out, he called the Straw Hats "troublesome," but seemed impressed by their actions.

Current Events
Later, he was seen fighting one of the Pacifistas and, after getting beaten up, he asked if he could be allowed to pass by Marine HQ peacefully. However, he was then knocked over to where Basil Hawkins and Kizaru were fighting and, after X. Drake joined the fight, he began his counter-attack and invoked some sort of "doping" technique that exponentially enlarges his size, roughly matching Kuma's.

He manages to attack it successfully and throw it into a building, he is however wounded by a beam from its hand. Later, when he watches Drake fight him, he is careless and doesn't notice Kizaru standing behind him. Kizaru then proceeds to kick him through several buildings at once.

After Kizaru´s additional defeat of Hawkins, Apoo and Drake, he is seen bloodied, lying on the ground.

As of recent has it been reported to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, that Kizaru caught 500 pirates at the Sabaody. It is unknown if Urouge and his crew is amongst them.

Trivia

 * Urouge's name comes from the real life 16th century Turkish pirate, Oruc, one of the Babarossa brothers.
 * Urouge has the lowest bounty of the Supernovas. However, his number of "108" is seen as a mystical number in Eastern religion (similar to Zoro's 108 Pound Cannon attack), in particular the Japanese Buddhist belief that all men must resist 108 temptations before achieving nirvana.
 * When Urouge increases his muscles, his shirt rips, which implies that he may not be a Devil Fruit user (as Devil Fruit powers usually transforms clothing and accessories to fit with the altered physical bodies) or his powers are one of the few that do not change the clothes.
