Minister of the Left

The Minister of the Left is a catfish merman in service to King Neptune. While it is not clear what his job entails, it appears to involve some sort of administrative and military duties.

Appearance
The Minister of the Left is a short, rather rotund merman. He wears a monacle on his left eye and an oversized top hat. Like a catfish, he has two large whiskers for a mustache. He also has a long beard. He uses a wooden cane to get around.

Personality
Like the Minister of the Right, he is always serious. He takes his work seriously and believes the king should as well, as seen when he chastised the king for leaving the castle so suddenly and unguarded.

Abilities and Powers
As one of the members of the king's council, he has some influence in decisions. He also has some command over the army. He has yet to display any weapons or fighting ability.

History
He was first seen when the Straw Hats arrived at Ryugu Palace. He was chastising the king for leaving the castle suddenly and unguarded. He is later seen commanding the guards to apprehend Nami, Brook, and Usopp, who were refusing to be put in jail. After getting tied up by the Straw Hat Pirates, he tells Nami that a conventional Log Pose won't work in the New World. When she inquires further, he said he would tell her more if she untied him. The three princes of the Neptune House return to the palace only to find it under the control of the Straw Hats. Since the princes are unable to enter, Fukaboshi speaks with Zoro through Den Den Mushi. The Minister of the Left listens as Zoro makes his demands and Fukaboshi reveals Jinbe's message. After hearing noises coming from Shirahoshi's room, Neptune begs the Straw Hats to check up on the princess to ensure her safety. Brook dashes on to Shirahoshi's location hoping to see her panties. The Minister of the Left states that the skeleton has perverted intentions and that Shirahoshi is in even more danger. As Brook left with the Minister of the Right thinking that he is also a "fan", the Minister of the Left yells out about how indecent the skeleton is.
