Raijin

Raijin is a ninja and a member of the Beasts Pirates. He previously was a member of the Orochi Oniwabanshu which served the shogun of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi.

Due to his actions and role, he is a minor antagonist in the Wano Country Arc.

Appearance
Raijin is an average-sized man with long white spiky hair. He wears a goggled mask over his face, one side of which is blue and the other yellow. He also wears an orange kimono, white gloves, and a large ring on his back holding four fireballs.

He has been seen riding on the back of a large catfish that can move on land.

Personality
Like the other members of the Orochi Oniwabanshu, Raijin is loyal to the shogun Orochi and dedicated to his job. However, he is superstitious and can be prone to being scared, as shown when he was confronted by the living skeleton Brook. He remarked how foolish it was for Robin to attempt to sneak through Orochi Castle in the presence of ninja.

Abilities and Powers
Raijin is an extremely skilled ninja, as he was able to sneak up on Robin and catch her by surprise along with the other Oniwabanshu members.

His specialty, like Fujin's, is "Slimy Grappling" (ぬめり格闘).

Weapons
Raijin carries shuriken, which he used to attack Robin.

Wano Country Arc
After seeing the geisha O-Robi suspiciously sneaking around Orochi Castle during Orochi's banquet, Fujin, Raijin, and the rest of the Orochi Oniwabanshu snuck up and cornered her. The ninjas questioned who she was and then moved to capture her, but unbeknownst to them, it was her body double, and so when they caught her, she vanished into thin air. Seeing this, they broke off into the banquet hall to find the real body of the geisha. While searching, Fujin and Raijin encountered Brook's spirit form, and ran screaming for their lives, while mistaking him for the Gashadokuro. As they ran, they encountered their comrades and shouted that a ghost was chasing them, which led to their comrades running away in fear as well.

As the Straw Hat Pirates were causing chaos at Rasetsu Town after Shimotsuki Yasuie's execution, Daikoku ordered Fujin and Raijin to pursue a woman that was seen with Roronoa Zoro. As they were about to capture her, Zoro came and attacked Raijin.
