Cabaji

Cabaji (カバジ, Kabaji) is Buggy the Clown's second mate.

Personality
Cabaji is always serious, mysterious, and elegant. He is a deadly acrobatic fighter as well as very formidable as an opponent. His hair is particularly interesting in its design, long on one side and a parallel shaved design on the other. He appears concerned somewhat for his captain, along with Mohji. He is usually by Buggy's side, unlike Mohji, who is ordered to do other things. Cabaji doesn't seem to care for Mohji's pet lion, Richie, at all, even using him as a shield.

Abilities and Powers
Cabaji fights with a combination of swordplay and acrobatics (mostly on a unicycle) to fight his enemies. Most of his attacks have Carnival Trick based names. He is not afraid to play dirty and take advantage of weakened foes and will strike a wounded man when he is already hurt without a second thought. He attacks Zoro in this very manner.

Weapons
He has displayed a fondness for using both daggers and a swords during his fights, not unlike his captain.

Cabaji and Zoro
He fights with Roronoa Zoro no sooner than after being introduced and plays dirty by striking Zoro's wounds whenever he has the chance. However, once Cabaji is knocked off his unicycle, he becomes angered and attacks with a slew of spinning tops. He is defeated by Zoro's 'Oni Giri' which cuts open his chest. After Cabaji falls to the ground, Zoro also falls, claiming that he needs a rest after that grueling struggle.

The Captain is Dead
After Buggy and his crew was defeated by Luffy, he fought with the 'other' first mate Mohji for the title of the next captain--both were knocked out by a sleepwalking Richie, who gained the title (though lost it just as quick). Cabaji and Mohji seem to have a slight rivalry but are close friends nonetheless, hanging tight in these panels, even after fighting each other. They also share the same honorable and respectable loyalty for their captain, Buggy. One of the panels portrays them both in agony as they are searching for their captain. However, after Buggy resurfaced and Cabaji was reunited, he returned to his former position.

Loguetown
During the Loguetown attack, Cabaji accompanied Buggy and Alvida to fight against the Straw Hats and the Marines. However, despite wanting to have a rematch with Zoro, this duel didn't happen.

Current Events
Cabaji is seen again with Alvida and the rest of Buggy's pirates, pleading with Alvida to go to Impel Down to rescue Buggy. However, he and the rest of the crew eventually decide to proceed on while honoring Buggy's death after Alvida tells them to rescue Buggy by themselves, and notes they will die trying.
