Sarquiss

"Big Knife" Sarquiss was the first mate of the Bellamy Pirates, with a bounty of 38,000,000 on his head. His epithet originates from the large dagger he always wields, which bears a strong resemblance to a massive kukri.

Due to his actions, he can be considered a supporting antagonist of the Jaya Arc.

Appearance
Sarquiss has wavy, shoulder-length blue hair and wears a purple-tinted visor over his eyes. He also wears a white-furred coat over his bare chest in addition to golden chains that are either a necklace or a clasp. He has red-and-white striped gloves and pants with the same pattern alongside a gold belt.

On Sarquiss' bare chest is a tattoo of Doflamingo's Jolly Roger: a smiley with a cancel symbol. He also has the symbol on his belt.

Sarquiss wields a giant curved knife that greatly resembles a kukri, and is often seen with a woman at his side, Lily.

Personality
As far as personality is concerned, Sarquiss appears to not be very bright, but just as over-confident and self-absorbed as the rest of the pirates in Bellamy's crew. He was somewhat classy and prejudiced as he gave Luffy, Zoro and Nami a few Bellys a pity so they could buy decent clothes. He interpreted Zoro and Luffy's refusal to fight back when Bellamy challenged them at Terry's bar as an act of cowardice, and insisted that Bellamy's quick defeat at Luffy's hands was a "lucky shot" and even attempted to challenge the younger pirate, only to cringe once the Straw Hat captain finally gave Sarquiss his attention. Unfortunately he did not seem to learn from this, as soon after Luffy leaves, he ends up bumping into Blackbeard and made a rude remark towards him and continues to badmouth Luffy, to which the captain promptly smashes Sarquiss into the ground.

Just like his captain, he strongly believes that a New Age is coming and laughs at anyone who mentions their dreams. He also falsely believes that a bounty serves as a rating of a person's fighting level, making him believe himself to be a more powerful fighter than he truly is.

Abilities and Powers
Sarquiss possesses a bounty of 38,000,000, an indication of his danger. He seems to be quite agile, but Cricket outclassed him and Blackbeard defeated him with great ease.

Big Knife
Sarquiss uses a giant dagger, which resembles a giant kukri, to fight. It's what gave him his nickname: "Big-Knife" Sarquiss. He usually spins the blade like a windmill in front of him, as to show off. From his one named technique, Sarquiss shows certain acrobatic skills.




 * Big Chop: Sarquiss' only-known named attack, where he spins vertically and uses his trademark, the "Big Knife" to turn himself into a human buzz-saw. He first used this against Masira, spinning vertically while jumping, cutting Masira multiple times.

Others
During the time the Bellamy Pirates were still in North Blue, Sarquiss wielded a katana on his back.

History
Sarquiss, just like the rest of his crew members was all born in North Blue, specifically in a peaceful town known as Notice. During their childhood, they heard the fairy tale Liar Noland and were often told by adults that if they lied a lot, they'd be executed like Noland.

Growing up, he and the other crew members left the town to become pirates. When they met Donquixote Doflaming o, the latter gave them the possibility of wearing his Jolly Roger as long as they didn't dishonor him.

Jaya Arc
While sitting at the counter at Wild Cherry with Lily, Bellamy gets his attention, so he asks him what he wants. His captain asks him to confirm that he has seen Roshio 's dirty tricks. Sarquiss then claims that he cheated and that he is a scoundrel who likes to play dirty. The man replies not to even try and asks if they understand who they are dealing with, however Bellamy shoot him in the leg and smash a bottle of alcohol on his head. Sarquiss then throws a lit match at Roshio, who catches fire before breaking through the window and falling from the building.

He returns with Lily to the hotel, where he sees Luffy, Zoro and Nami with Spector. He asks the latter who they are, while Lily tells him to kick them out given how much they paid for the entire facility. Sarquiss agrees with her and invites one of the three to leave.Luffy then asks Nami if she would annoy him if she gave him a lesson, but Cirkeys replies that she pities him, dropping money in front of him so that he can buy more decent clothes. Lily points out that it's a waste to give them to guys like that, so he laughs and then argues with her again. After seeing Luffy's 30,000,000 wanted poster, Sarquiss comments about some of his companions and looking at the wanted poster, he is amused by the fact that that scrawny boy is worth so much, stating that he is interesting and will show it to Bellamy.

After showing the poster to the latter, the whole crew reaches the Pub and Pies, which he criticizes by asking those present how they can drink in such a place. Immediately afterwards he hits men with his weapon to free some chairs, and after sitting down, he addresses those present as rude for not having made room for them. He then licks the blood off one of his arms. He then laughs as Bellamy grabs Luffy's head and smashes it against the counter, which shatters. The tension between the pirates rises and when Luffy is about to face Bellamy, he is stopped by Nami, who asks bartender for information on how to get to the island in the sky. Those present then all burst out laughing and after seeing many throw glasses, bottles, barrels and more at the three young pirates, telling them to leave the city, Sarquiss points out to Bellamy that apparently they want the show to go on.

Later, Sarquiss and the rest of the crew went to Jaya to attack the Saruyama Alliance for their gold, and Sarquiss used his Big Chop to slice Masira, but was then repelled by Shoujou. With Bellamy being the main force of the crew, they defeated their opponents and stole the gold. With that, they returned to Mock Town, only to be notified of Luffy and Zoro's new bounties, followed by Luffy himself challenging Bellamy. He at first laughs with the rest of the crew while watching the fight. But that quickly ends after Luffy easily knocks out Bellamy with one hit. In disbelief, he begs Bellamy to get back up, but the bounty poster from before flies into his face and he realizes in horror that they aren't fakes. He tries to regain his bravado as Luffy takes back Cricket's gold but shrinks back when Luffy gives him his last bit of attention.

After Bellamy is defeated by Luffy, Sarquiss bumps into Blackbeard and threatens him. Blackbeard responded by smashing Sarquiss' head on the floor with ease.

Long Ring Long Land Arc


After Luffy easily defeated Bellamy, they were paid a visit by Donquixote Doflamingo, who, with his powers, forced Bellamy and Sarquiss to fight each other as punishment for disgracing themselves under his flag. Sarquiss begged for mercy, and Bellamy pleaded for another chance, but Doflamingo merely laughed and forced Sarquiss to slash his captain with his "Big Knife".

Later Events
Later, he would travel with Bellamy and the other members of the crew to a Sky Island, finding a golden pillar in the process. Although Bellamy managed to bring this back to Doflamingo and regain his trust, it is unknown what became of Sarquiss and the rest of the Bellamy Pirates when their captain forfeited his captaincy to join the Donquixote Pirates.
