Rockstar

Rockstar is one of the rookie crewmembers of Shanks' pirate crew.

Appearance
Rockstar is a fairly tall and burly man with dark skin and a red liberty spikes-like hairstyle. He wears a colorful attire composing of a dark-purple, double-breasted coat (with buttons similar to Magellan's), left open on his chest to reveal a light-orange, wide-collared shirt, and a red foulard around the neck. He has a yellow sash tied around his waist, that instead of hanging only on one side, like seen on most of the other pirates, hangs down on both sides. He wears light-blue pants and brown boots, and carries around a green-hilted sabre, hanging on his left hip from a belt he has over the right shoulder.

Personality
Rockstar is a confident member of Shanks' crew who seems to have a lot of pride. When he was insulted by Whitebeard's men, he wanted to fight them because they had damaged his honor. He also tried to use the strength of his captain to back up the importance of the letter he delivered to Whitebeard. He seems very loyal to his captain, sticking up for him in front of Whitebeard.

Abilities and Powers
Even though little is known about him, it can be assumed he is quite powerful since he has a 94,000,000 bounty. He also asked permission to fight Whitebeard's men from his captain.

Past Story
Like most of Shanks' crew members, little is know about him. However he claimed to have been once a famous and big-time pirate.

Jaya Arc
Shanks sent him to deliver a message to Whitebeard, which the pirate captain promptly ripped up, going along with Shanks' prediction anyway. Even so, Rockstar wanted to fight Whitebeard to reclaim his honor, but Shanks told him it was no big deal and to pull back. When Shanks arrives on Whitebeard's ship, there is a scene in the manga of Lucky Roo, Benn Beckman and Yasopp with Rockstar visible in the background.

Current Events
As his crew made it to Marineford, it can be assumed that he was there as well. However, he was not seen when the Red Hair Pirates gathered in a group.

Trivia

 * Rockstar's character and personality are possibly a joke referring to old rock stars who frequently try to see if people remember them. When he arrives on Whitebeard's ship, he asks some of Whitebeard's crew if anyone remembered his name from his solo days. Despite his high bounty, everyone he asked replied with a surprising (or unsurprising) "no".
 * In One Piece: Grand Battle 3, Rockstar is seen being sent to deliver a message to Luffy's home town. He is also called 'Chibi' by Benn Beckman and was seen sweeping the snow on their ship. He was sent by his captain to deliver a message to Whitebeard. Unfortunately, he misunderstood his captain's orders and took it to the wrong Whitebeard.
