Shuzo

Shuzo is a member of the Neo Marines and a former member of the Marines.

Appearance
Shuzo is a large, dark-skinned man from the Longarm Tribe with a bulky build. He has a black topknot hairstyle, mustache, eyebrows, and beard. He wears dark red armguards and a red and yellow chestplate with a white emblem on it.

Personality
He is very commanding and does not follow orders. He desires to be Z's second-in-command in place of Ain. Like Z, he also has a desire to kill all pirates and thinks that imprisoning them is absurd, which is why he went after Panz Fry even though he was already captured and on his way to Impel Down.

He also has a unique laugh: Brarararara.

Alpacacino
Shuzo seems to have a good relationship with Alpacacino, who nods to Shuzo whenever he feels like agreeing with him.

Momonga
Shuzo seems to have a past with Momonga. Not much is known about their relationship other than they may have known each other in the past.

Ain
He seems to dislike Ain because she beat him at their previous battle and became Z's right hand instead of him. He does not follow her orders, as seen when he did not go to the rendezvous point that they arranged, and wished to prove himself better than her to usurp her position.

Rokushiki
Shuzo is able to use some of the Rokushiki martial arts techniques and has demonstrated Soru, Shigan, Geppo and Tekkai. He is presumed to have a high level of mastery in Tekkai, since he was able to shrug off Luffy's Gear Second attacks with relative ease. He also had enough strength to match Sanji's kick, the blow in fact causing the latter's leg to fall from beneath him afterwards due to the strain.

Haki
Shuzo is able to use Busoshoku Haki and is strong enough to match Luffy's Haki.

Past
For an unknown reason, he resigned his position as a Marine and became a member of the Neo Marines.

He and Ain once fought each other for the position of Zephyr's right hand. Their fight lasted for five hours. Shuzo was at the verge of beating Ain, as she was at a disadvantage in stamina. She realized this and stayed stable, waiting for Shuzo to attack. When he tried to tackle her while spinning, she dodged the attack and Shuzo fell on the ground with such force that he buried himself a bit. While Shuzo was trying to get up and attack again, Ain used her Devil Fruit powers to change the age of the ground, which made Shuzo get stuck. Ain raises a gun and points it at Shuzo. Then Zephyr announces that the fight is over and that Ain is the victor.

Z's Ambition Arc
Shuzo is first seen in his submarine when he receives a call from Ain. She asks him why he did not meet them at the rendezvous point, but Shuzo responds by saying that he is going to take down Panz Fry instead. By doing this, Shuzo hopes to please Z and become his second-in-command in place of Ain.

When he reaches the convoy escorting Panz Fry, he initiates his attack by having his men launch missiles and torpedoes at the giant and the Marine ships. Shuzo then engages Momonga and the Straw Hats' Monster Trio in combat.
