Tank Lepanto

Tank Lepanto is the commander of Dressrosa's Self-Defense Army. He joined as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi.

Appearance
Lepanto is a very huge muscular man with disproportionately small legs. He has a thick dark pointed beard. While participating in the Corrida Colosseum, he wears only a left shoulder guard linked by a chain and a dark skirt with a belt and boots.

Personality
Lepanto, because of his choice to ally with Dagama, Elizabello, and several other gladiators just to get the advantage over Bellamy, probably desires to win by any means. This raises a few questions about his level of loyalty to his own kingdom, Dressrosa. He also has the intelligence to pick out Bellamy as the first person to target, since he is one of the strongest competitors in Block B.

He is more likely the type of person who can be paid for doing some work as he stated that rather than dreaming big, and believes in taking commands from others and getting compensated.

Abilities and Powers
Lepanto has demonstrated to have a lot of strength and fighting ability, since he can wield a spiked ball and chain and use it with ease. The fact that he is an army commander of Dressrosa is another testament to his strength and fighting abilities. He was also able to block one of Bellamy's attacks, although he showed some discomfort in doing so.

Weapons
He was seen fighting with a large spiked ball on a chain. He is fairly proficient in using it, since he was able to take down a few competitors with it.

Dressrosa Arc


Lepanto entered the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi. For the battle royale, he was placed in Block B. Sometime prior or during the tournament was he coaxed into fighting for Prodence Kingdom for the battle royale in Block B.

When the Block B battle royale began, he and the other competitors teamed up to defeat Bellamy. Lepanto then came face to face with Bellamy. Bellamy asked him why he was assisting fighters from a foreign country. Lepanto responded by saying that he was only fighting for money and attempted to strike Bellamy with a spike ball chain. Bellamy dodged the attack and countered.

Later on, he was seen covered with blood on the ground, having been beaten by Abdullah and Jeet. Some viewers commented that he was taken down by the dirty tricks the pair utilized.
