Makino

Makino is the Bartender from the hometown of Monkey D. Luffy, Fuusha Village.

Appearance
Makino is a young woman with dark green hair. When she was first introduced, 10 years before the current storyline she wore a yellow kerchief, an orange blouse with black sleeves and a long light blue skirt. Although her clothing changes with her appearences, they are usually similar to the ones she was introduced with.

Personality
She's a very kind person, and was a close friend of Shanks, his crew, and Luffy. Makino appeared to be a very prominent figure in Fuusha Village.

Her fondness for Luffy makes her appear as an adoptive mother or sister, showing interest and support to whatever Luffy's dream is. She seems content with whatever lifestyle Luffy has chosen so long as he is happy and amongst friends. She also gave him food under the joke about him running up a "treasure tab". She seems to have a listeners ear and often appears alongside Woop Slap whenever he discusses Luffy's dream, while the rest of the village seems too busy celebrating his success as a pirate.

Past Story
Makino makes her first appearance in the manga serving Luffy, Shanks, and his crew at Patty's bar. She was one of the only two villagers who dared approach the bandit Higuma when he took Luffy after she ran to look for the mayor, the other being the mayor himself. She is also seen briefly in the flashback to Ace and Luffy's childhood, where she appears to have brought some new clothes for Ace, Luffy and Sabo. In the background, there seemed to be several males looking at her (in a manner similar to Sanji when he meets a pretty lady) implying she is very popular in the town and seems to spoil Luffy as she tells Luffy to keep things a secret from Garp.

Present Story
Makino was present at Luffy's departure from their village via a small dingy stated how much she will miss him. Later she is seen as his first bounty is issued talking to the mayor.

Current Events
Makino is also seen when Luffy reaches his 300,000,000 bounty once again talking to the mayor, She remarks that Luffy's pet is cute and that he has found great friends and seems to be having fun.
