Thunder Soldier

Thunderous Soldier of Rage (怒りの雷兵) is an alias name for a one-legged toy soldier who is also a wanted criminal on Dressrosa.

Appearance
He is a small toy soldier whose body resembles a dark-colored uniform with four buttons. He has a block-shaped head, square eyes with two blush marks painted underneath, a rectangular nose, a small angular mustache, and a hinged mouth. He also has lanky limbs and a wind-up key on his back.

He wears a large round hat with the letters "SOL" printed on it. He has a small stub where his left leg used to be and he wears a roller skate on his right foot which he has trouble balancing on when standing still. He also carries a small toy rifle.

Personality
He seems to be defiant of authority as seen when he was yelling at some police officers. He also appears to be proud to be a toy that brings happiness to people, and gets angry when someone says he is serious. On the other hand he is kind and helpful towards common people.

Franky
The soldier has become acquainted with Franky after meeting him in the Corrida Colosseum. Franky agreed to travel trough Dressrosa with him and help him with his plan to free the workers in the factory.

Rebecca
Thunderous Soldier of Rage seems to be friends with Rebecca. He gave her some words of encouragement when he saw her through the window of the Corrida Colosseum, just before the C Block battle royale began. Rebecca wants to live together with the soldier and refers to him as "Soldier-san".

Abilities and Powers
He seems to be rather fast and evasive, as he managed to elude the police pursuing him every time, even with one leg.
 * Jet Walk (ジェットウォーク): He used this technique to dodge the police's shots.

Dressrosa Arc
When the tournament for the Mera Mera no Mi started at the Corrida Colosseum, he stood at the entrance and barred children from entering and shot at any that try to do so. He frightened them away, claiming that blood-fights are not meant to be a show for kids.

Later, he was chased by two Dressrosa police officers, but he was able to elude them by leaping into the Corrida Colosseum, where only the Donquixote Family has power and police and Marines can't act by law. The soldier then jumped down and offered Luffy and Franky, who were dressed like old men, help with their luggage.

After Luffy commented how funny he was, he started falling down comically while laughing to make Luffy laugh. When Franky complained that he was in their way, he became embarrassed. Franky then realized how serious he was but the toy corrected him by saying that there is no such thing as a serious toy because toys live to make people laugh.

He was later seen sitting next to Franky in the Colosseum among the spectators. When Franky was about to leave to continue with his mission, the toy asked Franky if he could come along. Franky refused to take him along because he did not know where the factory was and would just get in his way. After Franky said that he would interrogate one of the Donquixote Pirate members to obtain the location of the factory, he warned him that talking about the Donquixote Family like that is considered a taboo in the kingdom and suggested that they should discuss this matter somewhere else.

Later, in the corridors of the Colosseum, the toy soldier reveals that he himself was also planning to destroy the factory, and that he had been secretly preparing with his comrades. Franky once again asks where the factory is so he can destroy it right away. However, the toy insists that they first rescue the people working inside the factory. He also says that their tactic is very important since the destruction of the factory will also bring on the fall of Dressrosa as well. He then told Franky that if he had the courage to oppose Donquixote Doflamingo, he would explain the history of Dressrosa.

The toy soldier and Franky then left the Colosseum and made their way to the flower field. While riding on Franky's shoulder, the toy soldier was spotted by Rebecca who called out to him. After Rebecca expressed her determination to win the tournament and her wish to live together with him, he and Franky continued on towards their destination.

Trivia
