Avalo Pizarro

Abalo Pizarro is a new member of the Blackbeard pirates. Known as "Corrupt King", he was one of the criminals who was given a life sentence in Level 6 of Impel Down, where their crimes were so atrocious they were effectively erased from history itself. He has many cat-like characteristics, such as his slit pupils, mane-like hair, cat-like patterns on his jacket and speaking with the word "Nya", the Japanese equivalent of "Meow".

Appearance
Unlike the other Impel Down escapees, he is not dressed in a prisoner's uniform. Instead, he wears a long, patterned fur cape and necklaces. His eyes are slitted like a cat's and his hair is a wild mane, with horns attached to his head via metal plates underneath. His mustache is very large and droopy, sticking out about the same length as his shoulders. He has drills for arms, but he still has hands at the ends of the drills. He is also about the same size and width as others amongst his crew like Blackbeard.

Personality
So far in all of his appearances, he is always seen smiling, even when attacking Whitebeard. He also seems some nostalgic about things, and has a tendency to say "Nya" at the end of his sentences.

Abilities and Powers
His abilities have not yet been fully defined, but he was powerful enough to be contained in Level 6 of Impel Down when caught by the World Government. Spiral shaped objects are attached to his arms, and could be the resemblance of drills. Whether or not these are part of a Devil Fruit power or not remains unknown.

Past
Abalo Pizarro was once one of the most feared criminals in the world, but was eventually caught by the World Government and sentenced to life in Impel Down, Level 6, where he was effectively erased from history. Not much is known about his past otherwise as of yet, aside from his actions being so heinous that the World Government wanted him erased from history. It is possible that he had been to Marineford prior to the war, as he said that being there "took him back."

Marineford Arc
After Ace dies, and Whitebeard seperates himself from his crew, Blackbeard is revealed to be observing the fighting. He is introduced along with his fellow inmates, Basco Shot, Catarina Devon, San Juan Wolf and Shiryuu. When Blackbeard is struck down by Whitebeard's Bisento, he attacks Whitebeard with the as of yet unidentified device on his arm, with all the members of his crew (with the exception of San Juan Wolf). When Whitebeard dies, he puts the mysterious black cloth over whitebeards dead body, as Blackbeard too goes under the cloth. He is then shown looking on laughing as Blackbeard demonstrates his new power.

Trivia

 * He was the only Level Six prisoner amongst the Blackbeard Pirates not to be mentioned by Emporio Ivankov.
 * His name could be a reference to Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. This however, remains unconfirmed by Oda.
 * Since debuting in Chapter 575, his arms so far have always been somewhat obscured, though in 577 it is seen that it are hand. Maybe cyborg-like or just handgloves.
