Piranha is a member of the Arlong Pirates.

Appearance
Piranha is a blue-skinned, rotund fish-man with short, black hair and a prominent underbite. He has round eyes, circles under his eyes, and a large stomach. He wears a purple floral-patterned shirt, a sash around his waist, and shorts.

Personality
Piranha is a cruel, as he tried to attack Usopp when he thought the pirate was a refugee from Gosa Village.

Abilities and Powers
Being a Fish-Man, Piranha has incredible mobility underwater as well as the ability to stay submerged for as long as he desires. However, he is not as fast on land, unable to catch Nojiko when she ran away. Like his entire race, Piranha is also much stronger than an average human being. Despite these advantages, he is actually quite weak in comparison to strong adversaries such as the Straw Hat Pirates, especially when he and his crewmates were swept aside easily when Monkey D. Luffy swung Momoo around.

Past
Piranha helped his captain raid Gosa Village.

Arlong Park Arc
Piranha patrolled Gosa Village to look for survivors and found Usopp. He chased the sniper, who was tripped by Chabo. As Piranha closed in on Usopp, Chabo, and Nojiko, the young pirate readied his slinghot. Nojiko knocked Usopp out and fled with him and Chabo from Piranha. Piranha accompanied Arlong to Cocoyasi Village, and after Usopp attacked the fish-man captain, Piranha pointed Usopp out as the stranger who got away from him before.

Back at Arlong Park, Piranha and the other members of the Arlong Pirates watched Nami pretend to stab Usopp and push him into the sea. When the Straw Hat Pirates came to Arlong Park to defeat Arlong, Luffy grabbed Momoo by the horns and swung him around, defeating Piranha and the other non-officer members.

Piranha and the rest of the crew were arrested, except for Hatchan who escaped.

Anime and Manga Differences
In Episode 31, Piranha's scene in the ruins of Gosa Village is changed and extended past Usopp's getting knocked out. After Chabo trips Usopp, Piranha turns a corner because he does not see the sniper fall. After Nojiko knocks Usopp unconscious, she and Chabo drag Usopp behind a building to hide him. Nojiko screams, drawing Piranha's attention, and she tells him that a long-nosed man ran off, which sends Piranha away.

In Episode of Nami, Piranha plays a more prominent role in the Arlong Pirates fight against Luffy at Arlong Park. In the manga, he is not explicitly shown attacking Luffy, but in the special, he charges the pirate with Pisaro before being defeated when Luffy swings Momoo around at them.
