Chaka

Chaka the Jackal is one of two head guards in the Arabasta kingdom who serves under Igaram, alongside Pell. Chaka was the acting captain of the royal guard in Igaram's absence.

Appearance
Chaka is a tall, imposing dark skinned man with medium length black hair and a long broad nose resembling that of a jackal.

He wears a long, light-green tunic, revealing his muscular chest, and has two belts around his waist: a striped, pale-red and crimson large one, and over it a purple, thinner one. Around his neck he has a necklace consisting of big golden beads, and he wears a dark-green coat draped on his shoulders like a cape. He carries a massive sword, with a blue hilt and sheath, on his right hip.

Personality
Chaka is always stern and rigorous. He is very loyal to the royal family, and he is willing to give up his life in order to protect them, as seen when he attacked Crocodile in order to give Vivi a chance to escape. He shows great concern for his best friend Pell.

Abilities and Powers
Chaka is apparently a strong and experienced fighter, and specialized in swordsmanship. He attacked Crocodile in his hybrid form, but was completely defeated by the Warlord's sand body.

Devil Fruit


Chaka ate the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Jackal, a Zoan-class Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a jackal and a human-jackal hybrid. This grants him an increase in speed and physical prowess, and has earned him the nickname "Chaka the Jackal". He has been shown combining his form with swordsmanship to increase the power of his attacks, usually by holding the sword in his mouth while charging at the opponent.

Weapons
Chaka wields an exotic looking sword, which he wields in conjuncture with his Devil Fruit transformation.

Past


When Koza was a boy and leader of the Suna Suna Clan, he asked Chaka if he could train him, going so far as to demand it.

Arabasta Arc
Chaka, together with Pell, came to the town where pirates were attacking civilians. However, Crocodile defeated the pirates before they arrived. As they reached their destination, Crocodile had already beaten the pirates. When the rebellion began to move, Pell and Chaka wanted to fight back but were stopped by King Cobra. Later, they found Karoo bringing Vivi's letter. From the information, they learned their enemy's identity. As the rebels approached the city, Chaka was commanded to ready the royal army.



A guard reported that the king was missing, causing Chaka to panic. Chaka ordered the Royal Army to search for the king, noting that searching for people was Pell's forte, but that he was scouting the enemies at Rainbase. Later, a royal guard reported that they had spotted the king admitting to stealing the rain and giving orders to destroy Nanohana. Chaka rejected this as the work of the real king, but the guard replied that the king disappeared from his room around the time of the incident.

As the rebellion started to move, Chaka commanded the royal guard to fight until death for the sake of the king and the princess.

During Crocodile's attack on the kingdom, Chaka attacked the Warlord of the Sea alone. Because of Crocodile's actions which forced his men to die without getting the chance to die honorably in battle, Chaka was angered to the point that he attacked Crocodile. However, this was also an attempt to protect Vivi and Koza, as well as buy them time to put an end to the battle - but despite his efforts, he was easily defeated. He survived, however, and showed up later commanding the royal guard to stop fighting.

Post-Enies Lobby Arc
When the Straw Hats received their bounties shortly after the Enies Lobby incident, Chaka was shocked to see Nico Robin in the Straw Hat crew.

Post-War Arc
After the Whitebeard War, he and Pell were seen reporting to King Cobra about a recently foiled pirate attack.

From the Decks of the World


After the timeskip, Chaka and Pell were seen being fitted for new clothes to wear for the upcoming Levely.

Zou Arc
As the time for Levely approached, Chaka accompanied the Nefertari Family to Mary Geoise alongside Pell, Karoo, and Igaram. Chaka expressed concern for Cobra's health as the latter revealed his intention on asking the World Government about the poneglyphs.

Levely Arc
On the way to the Levely, Chaka received the news of Luffy's exploits at Totto Land.

Wano Country Arc
Before a new discussion between the sovereigns of the other nations began, Chaka accompanied King Cobra to his meeting with the Five Elders, having to remain outside to wait due to the secrecy of the meeting.

After the Levely, Chaka noticed King Cobra was missing and furiously demanded a Royal Guard at Pangaea Castle on the whereabouts of his liege and his condition.
