Devil Fruit


It appears that Epoida can transform into a massive caterpillar like creature, possibly due to the effects of a Zoan type Devil Fruit. In this form, he retains his human head and hands, but grows caterpillar-like sections on his chest, with the colored stripes on his shirt seemingly merging with them, and also larger, rotund-shaped forearms.

Weapons
He is seen wielding a double sided jousting lance, similar to Speed Jiru's. It can be assumed that he is proficient at using it. He was seen wielding it with both of his hands on its handle, pointing it onwards with his arms above him, in a particular battle stance.

History


In the past, he allied himself with Whitebeard. Epoida and his crew are first seen, along with a fleet of 42 other infamous pirate crews, allied with the Whitebeard Pirates, attacking Marineford to save Portgas D. Ace from his execution and participated in the Marineford Arc to try and save Ace.
