Rockstar

Rockstar is a member of the Red Hair Pirates, being relatively new in the crew two years ago.

Appearance
Rockstar is a fairly tall and burly man with dark skin and a red liberty-spikes-like hairstyle. He wears a colorful attire composed of a dark-purple, double-breasted coat (with buttons similar to Magellan's), left open on his chest to reveal a light-orange, wide-collared shirt, and a red foulard around his neck. He has a yellow sash tied around his waist, that instead of hanging only on one side, like seen on most of the other pirates, hangs down on both sides. He wears light-blue pants and brown boots and carries around a green-hilted saber, hanging on his left hip from a belt he has over the right shoulder.

Personality
A confident man, Rockstar demonstrates a great sense of pride. When he was insulted by Whitebeard's men, he wanted to fight them because they had damaged his honor. He also tried to use the strength of his captain to back up the importance of the letter he delivered to Whitebeard. He seems very loyal to his captain, sticking up for him in front of Whitebeard.

Rockstar has a strong sense of justice and wants others to always follow rules.

Abilities and Powers
Rockstar is currently considered a heavy hitter of the Red Hair Pirates, a crew led by one of the Four Emperors, which attests to his strength. However, he does not hold the rank of officer. Before the timeskip, he was still a newcomer in the crew but held a 94,000,000 bounty from his previous pirating career.

Rockstar is a swordsman and specializes in a style called Splitting Sword (カチ割剣) where he swings his sword straight down and cuts the opponent in two. He is also able to pierce his targets akin to a drill.

Past
Like most of Shanks' crew members, little is known about him. However, he at least became a famous pirate in a different pirate crew before joining the Red Hair Pirates 2 years ago.

Jaya Arc
Shanks sent him to deliver a message to Whitebeard, which the pirate captain promptly ripped up, going along with Shanks' prediction anyway. Whitebeard was also insulted by the fact that Shanks did not talk to him in person and instead sent a newcomer from his crew. Even so, Rockstar wanted to fight Whitebeard to reclaim his honor, but Shanks told him it was not a big deal and to pull back.

Post-Enies Lobby Arc
When Shanks arrives on Whitebeard's ship, there is a scene in the manga of Lucky Roux, Benn Beckman and Yasopp with Rockstar visible in the background.

From the Decks of the World: The 500,000,000 Man Arc
After the timeskip, Rockstar and members of the Red Hair Pirates were seen attending a wedding at the ruins of a certain island.

One Piece Film: Red
Uta organized a concert on Elegia in order to realize her dream of performing for the whole world. Rockstar was present during the concert.

Egghead Arc
Rockstar is seen alerting Shanks of Eustass Kid attacking the Red Hair Pirates' fleet. He asks him if they should declare war and Shanks says that they will. Before leaving, Shanks also tells him to let Kid know that they can either fight or the Kid Pirates can leave their Road Poneglyph and leave.

 * In One Piece: Grand Battle 3, Rockstar is seen being sent to deliver a message to Luffy's hometown. He is also called 'Chibi' by Benn Beckman and was seen sweeping the snow on their ship. He was sent by his captain to deliver a message to Whitebeard. Unfortunately, he misunderstood his captain's orders and took it to the wrong Whitebeard.
 * Rockstar may be named after the Rockstar brand of energy drinks. This fits with the drink-based naming scheme of some of the Red Hair Pirates.
