Gedatsu

Sky Boss Gedatsu (空番長ゲダツ, Kūbanchō Gedatsu, romanized as Gedatz in the 4Kids adaptation of the anime), the third priest, punishes criminals with the Ordeal of Swamp.

Personality
Gedatsu is one of the oddest characters in One Piece, as he has many strange habits, none of which he is aware of. He needs to be corrected in every single instance, whereupon he will frown and cry "How careless!" or, in the Funimation dub "Hey!". (In the manga, he will have a look of pure shock) His mannerisms are in contrast with his extremely imposing appearance.

These habits include:
 * Rolling his eyes into the back of his head, rendering him unable to see.
 * Trying to speak with his lower lip stuck in his mouth
 * Temporarily forgetting to breathe
 * Incorrectly crossing his arms (he doesn't have them meet), making them constantly rub against each other.
 * When explaining his abilities (or even about himself), he only thinks about them and forgets to actually talk.
 * Accidentally aiming his attack at an ally instead of his enemy.
 * Firing his Milky Dials while he's upside down.
 * Entering a house through the window instead of the door
 * Crouching beside a drum that he's supposed to be currently bathing in to heat it when someone was doing that for him.
 * Forgetting to blink.
 * Digging while standing on a wall instead of the ground.
 * Sticking some food into his ear instead of his mouth.

Abilities
Using dials placed inside his gloves, he can create dense clouds that his opponents drown in. He also has a Jet Dial attached to his arm, giving him a very fast and powerful punch, and Milky Dials in his shoes that allow him to fly. His ordeal has a 50% chance of survival, due to his incompetence (If not for his incompetence, his ordeal would have a 5% chance of survival).

History
Tony Tony Chopper defeated him by using the "Rumble Ball" and using "Brain Point" to find out his weakness, which was to remove one of his Milky Dials, making him unable to fly in a straight line. When he lost to Tony Tony Chopper, he falls to the ground and, through a series of accidents and coincidences, ends up helping Goro, Kohza's uncle, start a hot springs resort in Arabasta. He ended up working as a clerk there, much to his (eventual) shock.

He was the only one of the priests not to be banished to a desert cloud.

Trivia
