Demaro Black

Three-Tongued Demalo Black is the captain of the Impostor Straw Hat Pirates who impersonated Luffy.

Appearance
Demalo appears to be a large and fat middle aged man, attempting to impersonate Luffy by wearing similar apparel, however, the similarities end there. His imitation scar beneath his left eye has three stitches, rather than two, the straw hat is is frayed and unkempt, with a striped band around its circumference, and he wears boots rather than sandals like the real Luffy. He also has an X-shaped scar on his stomach and another scar on his left shoulder.

Demalo's face is very broad, his forehead jutting prominently forward, almost concealing his eyebrows entirely. He has facial hair that extends from the ends of his mouth to his chin, and his nose comprises of a narrow bridge, sloping outward, like the forehead, and ending in a large, wide, and rounded set of nostrils. He is almost always smiling, even after being wounded. All in all, however, he looks virtually nothing like the real Luffy.

Personality
Demalo's personality is quite similar (albeit less extreme) to known Tenryuubito's. Fake Luffy is an extremely ruthless and egotistical man who uses the real Luffy's reputation to act with impunity. With Luffy's exceedingly high bounty and known infamy to the three government facilities (Impel Down, Enies Lobby, Marineford), the fake Luffy can do whatever he wants without fear of being challenged. He angers easily when things don't go as planned, or at any perceived slight by anyone he meets. He treats something as simple as being knocked down as an offense to kill someone over. Because of his ego, the fake Luffy, in attempting to exact revenge, seems to be blinded to the dangers his opponents represent. Despite the real, Nami, Usopp, and Luffy all dispatching him and his immediate crew with casual ease, his anger drives him to get revenge at any cost, even gathering his entire collection of recruits just to deal with three people.

Unlike the real Luffy, who places little importance to a person's background, the fake Luffy takes every opportunity to brag about his heritage and accomplishments, which he uses to justify his actions. He has no qualm with hurting innocent people, apologizing sarcastically after accidentally shooting bystanders he mistook for his enemies. He places no importance on the well-being of his crew, viewing them as a means to an end. He also appears to be a coward, using the fake Nami as a sacrificial lamb to escape Usopp's man-eating plant. His crew seems loyal, but seemingly only to the extent that he is their captain.

Demalo's arrogance seems to cloud his better judgment. Having met the real Nami, Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper, he failed to recognize any of them. By contrast, the fake Robin quickly identified Chopper, though it should be noted Chopper is the only one for the four who can be identified easily. The real Straw Hats also never bothered to confront him on the impersonation, and Chopper was genuinely fooled.

He has a unique laugh which goes "Dohaha".

Abilities and Powers
So far he has only been seen to use a flintlock pistol in combat. Aside from his weapon, he relies heavily in his stolen reputation as Strawhat Luffy to intimidate foes into not fighting back.

History
Demalo used the name "Strawhat Luffy" and impersonate Monkey D. Luffy. He has a crew that impersonate all of the Strawhat crew except for Brook. He put the recruitment poster around Sabaody Archipelago to recruit crew to go to the New World. In a bar, he harshly rejected and killed a pirate with 50 million bounty, claiming that he only recruit pirates with at least 70 million bounty. He then met Nami and asked her if she wanted to drink with him, who was rejected twice by her. Then he ordered his crew to catch her, who was then saved by Usopp, and chased after them. They were then electrocuted by the lightning called down by Nami. After his recovery, he ordered his crew to find these two people to get revenge.

Pacifistas arrived at Grove #46. While engaged in the battle, Demalo along with the other fake straw hats, splits up to escape the area. But Demalo unfortunately came up with Sentoumaru and was effortlessly defeated by Sentoumaru with a single blow.

Translation and Dub Issues
Demalo's epithet, Three Tongued, refers to an untrustworthy person who often lies to people to be on their side but never truly sides with them themselves.
