Wetton

Whetton is a character in the One Piece Rainbow Mist filler arc.

Apearance
Whetton is an old, wrinkled man with red hair and beard, arranged into a so called "chin curtain" (hair and beard meet via whiskers, but facial hair above the chin is shaved off). He apparently has been using this style for at least 50 years.

When he was younger, he used to have blue tattoos on his front, with a common cape. Now, he wears a purple uniform similar to those of all his soldiers and his relatives.

He is supported by a walking stick with a handle resembling a red bull's head - similar to the frontpiece of his former pirate ship, the Tyriel.

History
He is a former pirate, who burned down Ruluka and then became its mayor, because he yearned for safety and power. He later funds Henzo's research, by putting up silly and exorbitant taxes, to complete the construction of the Rainbow Tower, so as to get access to the Rainbow Mist's treasures.

He attempts to fight Luffy in a flame suit in the Rainbow Mist, but Robin "plugs" it out. Whetton panics, throws a few bombs into the tower (now a horizontal passport into the Rainbow Mist) and runs away. He is confronted by Sanji, finished off by a mature Rapanui, and then arrested.

Abilities and powers
As a man in is 30's-40's (at the time of his burning down Ruluka), he used to be a person with a lot of strength, fighting with a huge axe.

Today, however, due to his age, he has only been able to fight someone using a battle suit.

Trivia

 * He has a son Phillip and a grandson Reik, both of whom share his features.
 * His ship was the Tyriel.
