Donald Moderate

Donald Moderate is the presenter of the Pirates Expo in the film One Piece: Stampede.

Appearance
Donald Moderate is a portly man with a long, hooked nose. He is missing his left hand and his right leg below the knee, replacing them with a metal claw and peg leg respectively. He wears dark purple trousers and suspenders over a white shirt with a frilly collar, as well as a blue bowtie, a pink jacket, and a tall and thin brown top hat with a bicorne-shaped rim.

Personality
Moderate is very excitable and very invested in the proceedings of the Pirates Expo and the race for Gol D. Roger's treasure. When his co-presenter Ann shows him up or interrupts him, he is shown to be rather depressed. Unlike Ann, he is a neutral commentator and has no favorite to win the treasure hunt. He was not complicit in Buena Festa and Douglas Bullet's plan and was unaware that the Pirates Expo was a sham, so he became very angry at Festa when he realized the host had led the Marines to the Expo.

One Piece: Stampede
Donald Moderate welcomed the attendants to the Pirates Expo alongside his co-presenter Ann, who he had demonstrate her Bijo Bijo no Mi powers. Moderate explained the ground rules of the event before presenting the hunt for Gol D. Roger's treasure on a floating island inside a bubble accessible through a Knock Up Stream. Moderate and Ann followed along the pirate free-for all excitedly, but were utterly shocked when a ship came up the Knock Up Stream and blew up the island. As the pirates ended up in the bay below, Moderate spotted a fleet of Marine ships approaching the island and realized that the Pirates Expo host, Buena Festa, had sold them out. Soon afterwards, he and Ann ran away.
