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 also appears to have guns or drills attached to his hands. 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. He appears to have what could be guns or drills attached to one hand, which he uses on the final attack against Whitebeard. Whether these are prosthetic (aka cyborgs) or a Devil's Fruit power is 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."

Impel Down Arc
Pizarro was not part of this arc until recently, when he was broken out of his prison cell by the Blackbeard Pirates and was recruited into the crew.

Marineford Arc
He was seen alongside the Blackbeard Pirates and fellow criminals, all of whom have been recruited into the crew, and are now at Marineford to watch Whitebeard die. He then assists in the 9-to-1 assault on him.

Trivia

 * His name is most likely derived from Francisco Pizarro, a famous Spanish conquistador who conquered the Incan Empire looking for the City of Gold.
 * He was the only Level Six prisoner amongst the Blackbeard Pirates not to be mentioned by Emporio Ivankov.
 * Since debuting in Chapter 575, his arms so far have always been somewhat obscured, making it difficult to see what his arms truly are. It seems to be something like a giant drill or a Gatling gun.
 * His name Abalo sounds like the Spanish word Ávaro, which means "miser", a greedy person. This matches his title, since all power-hungry figures are corrupt by nature.
