Chinjao

Don Chinjao (首領（ドン）・チンジャオ) is a former pirate and the leader of the Chinjao Family. He also joined as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi.

Appearance
He is a very large, old man with a light-colored long beard and mustache. He has the number "12" tattooed on his left temple. Chinjao sports a black shirt, that shows his chest and round belly.

Personality
He seems to be a quiet and calm person, as he did not react to Luffy defeating Spartan. He is quite perceptive, unlike many people in the Colosseum, as he saw through Luffy's disguise. Chinjao also seems to hold grudges, and would believe that a child would inherit a parent's sin, as he wanted Luffy to pay for his grandfather Garp's actions. Despite his grudge, he is at least able to maintain civility by addressing his enemies with an honorific suffix.

Monkey D. Garp
In the past, Chinjao was nearly killed by Monkey D. Garp. For this reason, he bears a grudge against Garp and wants to take it out on his grandson, Luffy. Despite this, he shows a certain level of respect (if not out of sarcasm) by referring Garp with the honorific suffix "-san".

Monkey D. Luffy
Although barely meeting Luffy for the first time in the Corrida Colosseum, with Luffy never offending Chinjao personally, Chinjao nevertheless saw Luffy as an enemy based on his heritage with Garp. Due to this, Chinjao desired to take out his grudge against Garp on Luffy. As with Garp, Chinjao shows a level of civility by referring Luffy with the honorific suffix "-kun".

Abilities and Powers
Not much is known about his abilities at this time, but he was able to survive an encounter with the famous Marine, Vice Admiral Garp, enforcing a good deal of power.

Past
In the past, Chinjao was a pirate. In one encounter with Monkey D. Garp, he was nearly killed by the vice admiral. This led Chinjao to develop a life-long hatred for the man and his descendants.

Dressrosa Arc
Chinjao came with Boo and Sai from the country of flowers to participate for the Mera Mera no Mi. Chinjao witnessed Luffy defeating Spartan. He sat quietly as Boo and Sai spoke to Luffy. For the battle royale, Chinjao was placed in Block C.

Later on, as Luffy and Cavendish were watching the fights of Block B, Chinjao approaches Luffy and asks him how Garp is doing and tells him that he once nearly died by Garp's hand, declaring soon after how he will seek revenge on Garp's grandson.
