Gedatsu

Seiyuu: Masaya Takatsuka

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. 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. 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. 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).

Trivia

 * Gedatsu is one of the oddest characters in One Piece, as he has many strange habits, all of which he is never aware that he is doing (when informed that he is performing one of these habits, he has a shocked look on his face and says "How careless!"). His mannerisms largely parody that of archetypal "serious" villains in action stories. These habits include:
 * Rolling his eyes into the back of his head, making him unable to see.
 * Sticking his lip into his mouth and closing it, making his voice muffled and incomprehensible.
 * Temporarily ceasing to breathe.
 * Incorrectly crossing his arms (he doesn't have them meet), making them constantly rub against each other.
 * When explaining his abilities, he only thinks about them and forgets to actually talk.
 * During his mini-story:
 * Going into the house by going into the small window.
 * "Gedatsu" (解脱) is the Japanese word for Moksha, which in Hindu and Buddhist tradition is the liberation of the soul.
 * In a recent Japanese Fan Poll, Gedatsu is ranked the 35th most popular character in One Piece.
