Clapp

Clapp was the father of Bartholomew Kuma and a member of the Buccaneers race.

His family lived in the Sorbet Kingdom until they were all captured and turned to slavery at Mary Geoise, where Clapp met his end by being shot by one of the World Nobles.

Appearance
Clapp was a large, stout man with an impressive physique, much like his son Kuma. His face featured a prominent, square jaw with some stubble at the chin, a wide, bulbous nose and dark squared eyebrows. His dark hair was short and wavy.

After being enslaved, Clapp lost his left eye at some point, leaving only a stitched scar running down the upper portion of his face in its place. Like all slaves of the World Nobles, Clapp has the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon burned into him to mark him as "less than human".

Personality
Clapp was a dedicated family man who loved his family. Even after being enslaved, he kept looking out for Kuma and was heartbroken about the death of his wife.

As a buccaneer, Clapp believed in Nika, the slave liberator who was part of his race's folklore.

Powers and Abilities
As a full-blooded buccaneer, Clapp had the blood of giants running through his veins. As such, he was blessed with an extremely tough constitution and impressive physical power. This allowed him to survive large amounts of physical punishment during his tenure as a slave.

Biography
Around 47 years before the current storyline at the Sorbet Kingdom, Clapp and his wife had their first child, Kuma. Their happiness was short-lived, as the World Government was monitoring the island for Buccaneers and learned about their existence through the hospital that helped with Kuma's delivery. In spite of Clapp's begging for the government to leave his wife and kid alone, they were all enslaved and sent to Mary Geoise, with Clapp receiving the brunt of the abuse.

At some point, Clapp's wife passed away and he had to tearfully tell his son about it. In order to keep Kuma's mood up, he started sharing stories about a prominent legend of Buccanner folklore, the warrior of liberation Nika. While giving Kuma more details about the legend, Clapp was suddenly shot by an annoyed World Noble, dying in front of his son as a result.
