Hamlet

Hamlet is a Shinuchi in the Beasts Pirates. During the raid on Onigashima, he was tamed by the power of the Kibi Kibi no Mi and joined the side of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance.

Appearance
Due to the nature of his SMILE transformation, Hamlet has an entire giraffe's body growing from his backside starting from the neck, thus leaving his main body hanging several meters in the air. He has long, shaggy light hair and possesses the ears and ossicones of a giraffe. He wears a regal-looking cloak that leaves his chest exposed and has pronounced shoulder pads, dark gloves, and also wears giraffe-printed pants and boots with spurs.

Personality
Hamlet is very cocky, speaking in a condescending tone to his underlings and being confident that he would easily deal with the threats they were afraid of.

Abilities and Powers
As a Shinuchi, Hamlet has authority over the lower-ranking members of the Beasts Pirates.

Hamlet has been shown fighting people by kicking them in the jaw. Despite his great confidence in his abilities, he was easily defeated by one punch from Jinbe.

Devil Fruit
Hamlet ate a Giraffe SMILE (キリンの), which caused the entire body of a giraffe, starting from the top of the neck, to emerge from his upper back. The giraffe body is strong enough to stay upright and support Hamlet's weight, but only barely, as it is constantly shown trembling.

Weapons
Hamlet wields two cutlasses, though has not been shown using them in combat.

Wano Country Arc


When the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance invaded Onigashima on the day of the Fire Festival, Hamlet and Fourtricks confronted their subordinates who were being easily beaten by Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, and Jinbe. They thought little of their subordinates' worries and confidently confronted the trio, only to instantly be beaten aside.

Later, Hamlet was fed a dango created by Tama with the Kibi Kibi no Mi which "tamed" him and caused him to be loyal to her. When Tama spoke to the tamed Gifters in the fortress to aid the alliance in bringing down Kaidou, Hamlet obeyed her and began attacking his crewmates.

He was seen witnessing half of Kin'emon's body, later he carried them, and was carrying Kikunojo once they reached the Tower and were saved by Izou, who stalled the incoming Beasts Pirates.

Anime and Manga Differences
