Shioyaki

Shioyaki is a salmon Fish-Man and a member of the Arlong Pirates and the head of banquets.

Appearance
Shioyaki is a salmon Fish-Man. He has pink skin, and a fin on the top of his head along with wavy brown hair. He has a black wave tattoo on his forehead. He wears a dark green shirt with a red flower design on it, a blue wrap around his lower body, tan pants, and brown sandals. He also has hair on his forearms.

Personality
Shioyaki does not think much of the Marines compared to his high opinion of his crewmates.

Abilities and Powers
Being a Fish-Man, he has incredible mobility underwater as well as the ability to stay submerged for as long as he desires. Like all of his race, he is also much stronger than an average human being. Despite these advantages, he is weak in comparison to strong adversaries such as the Straw Hat Pirates, especially when he was swept aside easily when Luffy swung Momoo around.

Past
When Arlong left the Sun Pirates to build his own crew, Shioyaki joined in on the reign of terror that ruled Conomi Islands for eight years.

Arlong Park Arc
When Pudding Pudding and his subordinates arrived at the Conomi Islands to arrest Arlong, Hatchan, Chew and Kuroobi offered to take care of them. Shioyaki and Take commented that the Marines would be surprised and overwhelmed by the three Officers. Their prediction was correct; the Officers quickly defeated the Marines and sunk their ship.

When Momoo arrived to fight to the Straw Hat Pirates per Hatchan’s command, Shioyaki, Kaneshiro and their fellow fish-man followed the sea cow’s lead, rushing to attack the pirates. They were defeated when Luffy grabbed and swung Momoo around by his horns, knocking them all out. After the battle, Shioyaki and the rest of the defeated fish-men were apprehended by the Marines to be imprisoned.

Major Battles

Anime and Manga Differences
Shioyaki appeared in Episode 33 alongside Arlong when the Fish-Man captain discovered that Zoro defeated his subordinates. Later, when Hatchan realized that Zoro was the person who defeated his peers, Shioyaki was shocked at Hatchan’s absentmindedness. In Episode 34, he and Take witnessed Arlong catch and destroy a cannonball with his teeth. Both were impressed by the display.
