Daruma

Daruma is a cookiecutter shark fishman and an officer of the New Fishman Pirates.

Appearance
Daruma is a small fishman, being by far the smallest one amongst the officers of the crew, as well as one of the smallest fishmen appeared so far in the One Piece series. He has circular eyes, a flat nose and sharp teeth; his arms are notably larger than his hands. On his right arm is located a tattoo of the New Fishman Pirates' Jolly Roger. He sports a distinctive head gear composed of a hat similar to an aviator's, with two massive protrusion on both sides of his head, pointing upwards, and decorated on the front, paired with a plumed crest on top of it, similar to those found on ancient Roman and Greek helmets. He also wears a dark, sleeve and zipperless open jacket with a fur collar and a pair of bermuda shorts.

Personality
He appears to be violent and hungry as he says they should "gnash up" the escaping humans' meat. Like Hordy Jones and the other officers, he follows Arlong's ideals and despises humans as well as Otohime's ideals. He is not above using threats to force the Fishman Island citizens to comply and follow the New Fishman Pirates.

Ablities and Powers
As an officer of the New Fishman Pirates, Daruma has control over his lower-ranked subornates. He currently has not displayed any fighting ability. However, despite his small size, Daruma is still a fishman, and thus possesses ten times the strength of an average human, and even more underwater; being an officer, he may be even stronger than that.

Past
While the future officers of the New Fishman Pirates were growing up in the Fishman District, they read about Fisher Tiger's exploits at Mariejois. They cheer the Sunny Pirates on thinking that their goal was to destroy humans.

Fishman Island Arc
He is seen in Noah along with the rest of the officers and Hordy Jones. As Gyro and his crew are attempting to flee Fishman Island after sworing loyalty to the New Fishman Pirates upon entry to Fishman Island, Daruma suggests they "gnash up" the escaping humans. He is later seen when Jones and Vander Decken IX make an alliance, saying two very powerful people have just teamed up.



As Hordy Jones and Vander Decken IX goes to the Ryugu Palace, Daruma and the other officers go spread terror at other locations. Daruma goes to Candy Factory Town on the northwest side of the island. As the invasion of Fishman Island commences, Daruma is seen forcing the citizens to step on a fumi-e of Queen Otohime.
