Pinky

Monstrous Bird Pinky is a giant bird that appeared in the Orange Town Arc. It is classified as a Type C creature, "Big Savage".

Appearance


Pinky is a large, pink bird with a downward-curved, beige beak. It has dark blue feathering on the edge of its wings and tail and on the top of its head. The feathers on the top of its head stick up in the anime. In the manga, it lacks the upward-pointing feathers and is one solid color.

Personality
Little is known about Pinky's personality, but it seems fairly intelligent, defending itself against Luffy and dropping him before being hit by cannon fire.

Abilities and Powers
Pinky is quite strong, as it is able to carry Luffy in its beak with ease.

Orange Town Arc
At the beginning of the arc, Luffy tried to capture Pinky to eat after being on the row boat without food for a few days. However, instead of Luffy catching it, he himself was caught instead and carried away. This caused Zoro to chase after Luffy and Pinky. It was later shot at by Buggy around Orange Town, and it dropped Luffy there. It was not hit by the cannon fire, as it dropped the pirate before the cannonball's impact.

Trivia

 * A possible reference to Pinky is made in Chapter 823, as Igaram worries a "monstrous bird" might fly by and kidnap Vivi if she stands in the crow's nest of their ship.
 * The way Pinky caught Luffy and held him at his head with its beak while flying resembles a scene in Romance Dawn V.2, where another large bird, called Balloon, caught Luffy in a similar manner.
