Wetton

Whetton is the main antagonist of the anime-only Rainbow Mist Arc.

Appearance
Whetton is an old, wrinkled man with red hair and beard, arranged into a so called "chin curtain" (hair and beard meet via whiskers, but facial hair above the chin is shaved off). He apparently has been using this style for at least 50 years.

When he was younger, he used to have blue tattoos on his front, with a common cape. Now, he wears a purple uniform similar to those of all his soldiers and his relatives.

He is supported by a walking stick with a handle resembling a red bull's head - similar to the front-piece of his former pirate ship, the Tyriel.

Abilities and powers
As a man in is 30's-40's (at the time of his burning down Ruluka), he used to be a person with high-level strength, fighting with a huge axe.

Today, however, due to his age, he has only been able to fight someone using a battle suit.

History
He is a former pirate, who burned down Ruluka and then became its mayor, because he yearned for safety and power. He later funds Henzo's research, by putting up silly and exorbitant taxes, to complete the construction of the Rainbow Tower, so as to get access to the Rainbow Mist's treasures.

He attempts to fight Luffy in a flame suit in the Rainbow Mist, but is swiftly and easily overpowered. With the protective seal on his suit destroyed, Whetton panics, throws a few bombs into the tower (now a horizontal passport into the Rainbow Mist) and runs away. He is confronted by Sanji, finished off by a mature Rapanui Pasqua, and then arrested.

Trivia

 * He has a son Phillip and a grandson Reik, both of whom share his features.
 * His ship was the Tyriel.
