Black Maria

Black Maria is one of the Tobiroppo, the strongest six Headliners of the Beasts Pirates. She owns her own brothel on Onigashima near Kaido's mansion.

Appearance


Black Maria is an extremely large, albeit well-proportioned woman. She is shown to tower over the already huge All-Star King, and was shown to be about the same height as Kaido when they were both sitting together. Her long light hair is styled like a geisha's, with two swords notably being part of its arrangement.

She has a pair of long, slightly curved dark horns atop her head, wears prominent lipstick, and carries a long smoking pipe. She wears a low-cut dark kimono that leaves her right shoulder exposed and an obi around her waist, both with floral patterns.

Personality
Black Maria appears to have a flirtatious personality, coyly expressing her approval at Ulti's short-tempered attitude and choosing to stay with Kaido instead of completing an official assignment from her captain himself. However, she along with the other Tobiroppo members became serious and shocked when Ulti spoke rudely about Kaido.

She appears to be empathetic and compassionate. Unlike many of her crewmates, she seems to have no inclination toward sadism, at least towards children, lovingly carrying a brutally beaten Momonosuke and letting him rest on her lap. And later she showed visible discomfort at Orochi's plan to crucify and humiliate the already brutalized child.

Abilities and Powers
As one of the Tobiroppo, Black Maria holds great authority in the Beast Pirates, with only Kaido and the All-Stars ranking above her. As the owner of the Woman Trouble, she oversees the goings-on in it.

Though Black Maria's combat ability has not yet been witnessed, as one of the six strongest Headliners, she can be assumed to be very powerful, potentially worth challenging the All-Stars for their position.

Wano Country Arc
Black Maria and the other Tobiroppo members arrived at Onigashima during the Fire Festival. Kaido had them brought into his fortress, and as they waited to meet with him, Black Maria enjoyed watching Ulti become confrontational with anyone who annoyed her. However, she and the other Tobiroppo members became shocked when Ulti spoke rudely about Kaido as she questioned the purpose of their meeting. As the group came before Kaido, he gave the six the mission of finding his son Yamato, saying he would let them battle one of the All-Stars for their post if they succeeded, with Black Maria noting that such a mission would be difficult.

Instead of searching for Yamato like her comrades, Black Maria decided to stay with Kaido and Orochi. After Kanjuro arrived with the badly beaten Momonosuke, Black Maria tended to the young boy's injuries and let him rest his head on her lap. However, he was soon seized by Orochi, who revealed his plan to have Momonosuke crucified, much to the discomfort of Black Maria.

Trivia

 * Black Maria is likely named after the British card game of the same name, fitting with the card game-themed names of the Headliners. "Black Maria" is also a nickname for the Queen of Spades card.
