Lucky Roux

Lucky Roux is a member of the Red-Haired pirates and one of Red-Haired Shanks main crewmembers.

Appearance
He is very fat and is always seen eating a rack of meat. Out of the the entire crew, he appears to have changed the least over the years and shows little in the way of aging signs. Most of the time, Lucky Roux is shown smiling happily.

Personality
Lucky appears to be a very fun loving pirate who is often seen hanging around another one of Shanks' crewmembers, Yasopp. He is the first person to actually kill someone in One Piece and sets the stage for the series; a pirate's life is a dangerous one.

He has a very large appetite and in the manga he is seen swallowing a whole barrel of Sake by himself in the background while the crew where at the bar Makino worked in. He is always shown holding a large rack of meat in at least one hand.

Abilities and Powers
He was able to sneak upon on one of Higuma's men and shoot him without anyone knowing until it was too late, all the while eating. Besides that, there is no other indication of his strength.

Weapons
So far he has been seen using a type of gun called a flintlock.

Past Story
How and why Lucky Roux came to join the Red-Haired Pirate crew is unknown.

Lucky Roux is first seen in Luffy's past, amongst Shanks' crew. He joined in with his crews fun while they were bragging about a pirates life in front of Luffy. He is next seen supporting his captain when a bandit pulled out a pistol on him and threatened to kill him by killing the bandit first.

Present Story
Lucky Roux has been present at all the scenes shown in the present storyline somewhere.

Major Battles
None

Translation and Dub Issues
In the 4Kids dub, the scene where Lucky Roux shoots the bandit was edited so that he instead shoots a cap gun near the bandit's head. Shanks was then given added dialog, implying that the bandit just passed out, rather than being killed ("When he wakes up, tell him it was a cap gun").

Although his name can be either "Lucky Roux" or "Lucky Roo," most fans call him "Lucky Roux." They call him "Lucky Roux" in the English One Piece Collectible Card game as well.
