Omatsuri



Baron Omatsuri is the main antagonist of the sixth One Piece movie.

He claims to be the owner and founder of the resort on the Omatsuri Island, a recreational island in the middle of the Grand Line which the Straw Hats come to. However, he always challenges pirates who come to his island to a test called 'The Trials Of Hell' before he lets them relax, in which they must take part in a variety of competitions, ostensibly to prove their strength. However, the games were really to see if they were suitable for feeding to his man eating plant, Lily who grows out of his shoulder and seems to exists in a symbiotic relationship with him.

<It seems that the Baron was captain of the Red Arrow pirates (back in the time when Gold Roger was still alive) who died in a storm, leaving him alone on the island. He grew bitter from this and sought to break the spirit of any pirate crew that came to his island. With Lily's help, he found that he could use her plant powers to create copies of his dead crewmates, as well as make a massive army of servants for free. In battle, Omatsuri uses a bow and arrow, with arrows that home in on their targets. He is also capable of summoning massive arrow storms out of Lily's body, which suggests that these powers come from her.

He was defeated when the father of the Teacup Pirates shoots an arrow through Lily, killing the plant, then Luffy decking Omatsuri with a powerful punch, which, needless to say, finishes him, after which he seems to have finally reunited with his crew, who don't blame him for their deaths and just want to be a crew again like the Straw Hats. The last scene of the Baron in the movie is his goggles next to a batch of flowers (dandelions?) growing out of the rocks.
