Pekoms

Pekoms is a combatant of the Big Mom Pirates.

Appearance
Pekoms is a large lion (though not as large as Richie) who is able to stand on two legs and talk. He wears sunglasses, has an earring on his left ear, a sword on his right hip, and wears black boots with high heels and a black suit. He often holds his fists up in a confrontational manner.

Because of his beady eyes, people seem to think he looks cute when he removes his sunglasses to threaten someone.

Personality
When he is first shown, Pekoms is in a fit of rage. He lifts up his sunglasses and reveals his beady eyes, which the citizens of Fishman Island call cute. He also adds a roar to the end of most of his sentences. Like many other members of the crew, he seems terrified of Big Mom.

Abilities and Powers
He, like Tamago, is responsible for collecting the candy payments Big Mom demands from the islands under her protection. He is seen carrying a sword, which he is presumably competent in using. Given the fact he has a turtle shell indicates, he may have the strength of one. Not much is known about his abilities or powers but he seems quite strong due to the fact he defeated Caribou, a logia user, with only one punch.

Devil fruit
He admitted to be a Devil Fruit user. He seems to have eaten a Zoan fruit which grants him the ability to turn into a turtle.

Haki
Pekoms was able to hit a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, defeating Caribou in just one move, demonstrating the use of Busoshoku Haki.

History
Pekoms first appears on Fishman Island to threaten the citizens about their candy tribute, but seemingly fails to realize that the citizens were more enticed than frightened due to Pekoms' beady eyes. After hearing about Luffy eating the candy, he calls Bobbin and tells him about the situation. When Big Mom calls Fishman Island, Pekoms is too scared to answer the Den Den Mushi and is deeply shocked that Luffy answers the call himself and deliberately infuriates Big Mom.

Before leaving Fishman Island with the island's treasure he is attacked by Caribou who wants the treasure for himself. He is first attacked with a gatling gun, but Pekoms turns into a turtle using his natural shield to prevent being hit. Caribou then tries to slice him with a scythe, but Pekoms defeats him with a single punch, breaking the scythe and hitting Caribou. He finally leaves the island with Tamago.

Trivia

 * His name may come from "pekopeko" (ペコペコ), which means to "be very hungry" in Japanese. It may also come from pecan, a species of nuts often used as an ingredient or topping in various desserts. Either way follows the food/dessert-themed names of the Big Mom Pirates.
 * His constant anthropomorphic animal appearance, his "cutesy" eyes and characteristic body shape all appear very similar to Bepo of the Heart Pirates and the Demon Guards of Impel Down.
 * He has the third highest revealed bounty that is still active, being surpassed by Luffy's and Jinbe's new 400,000,000 bounty, and the fourth highest number seen so far in the series, after Donquixote Doflamingo.
