Past Story
How and why Lucky Roux came to join the Red-Haired Pirate crew is unknown.

Lucky Roux is first seen in Luffy's past, amongst Shanks' crew. He joined in with his crews fun while they were bragging about a pirates life in front of Luffy. He is next seen supporting his captain when a bandit pulled out a pistol on him and threatened to kill him by killing the bandit first.

Present Story
Lucky Roux has been present at all the scenes shown in the present storyline somewhere.

Major Battles
None

Translation and Dub Issues
In the 4Kids dub, the scene where Lucky Roux shoots the bandit was edited so that he instead shoots a cap gun near the bandit's head. Shanks was then given added dialog, implying that the bandit just passed out, rather than being killed ("When he wakes up, tell him it was a cap gun").

Although his name can be either "Lucky Roux" or "Lucky Roo," most fans call him "Lucky Roux." They call him "Lucky Roux" in the English One Piece Collectible Card game as well.
