Sasaki

Sasaki is a Headliner and one of the Tobiroppo of the Beasts Pirates. Prior to joining the Beast Pirates, he was the captain of his own crew.

Appearance
Sasaki is a large man who resembles an oni, as he possesses sharp teeth including prominent lower canine teeth. He has long, wild light hair that reaches to the middle of his back, as well as curved horns jutting upward from the front of his head, though its possible that these are a part of his outfit.

Sasaki's wardrobe appears to consist of a unique midground between traditional Japanese clothing and attire associated with a soldier or dictator. He wears cap, similar to that of a sailor or military official. His torso is uncovered except for a flame patterned cloak with a large collar resembling a seaman's coat. He has a prominent wing-shaped tattoo on his chest, shoulders, upper arms, and back. On his lower body he wears a flame patterned hakama-like article of clothing resembling the bottom portion of a double-breasted trench coat, and a pair of geta sandals on his feet.

Personality
Sasaki appears to be cold, insubordinate and ambitious. According to King, Sasaki aims to become one of the Beasts Pirates All-Stars, and for this reason, he refuses to answer to the current ones, ignoring any attempts of summoning unless Kaido's name is attached to it. He also views his fellow members of the Tobiroppo as competition for his goals, considering them "contenders" at one point and mockingly discouraging both X Drake and Page One from pursuing advancement in the crew, calling the latter dead weight.

He seems to heavily respect and fear Kaido, as he looked forward to receiving a request from him and became serious and shocked when Ulti spoke rudely about their captain. He also has no interest in socializing with those below him.

Abilities and Powers
As a Headliner in the Beasts Pirates, Sasaki holds a high position in his crew and has authority over the lower-ranking members, and as a member of the Tobiroppo, he also is among the strongest Headliners, with only Kaido and the All-Stars ranking above him.

As a former Pirate Captain, Sasaki used to have full authority over a pirate crew at one point of his life.

Wano Country Arc
Sasaki and the other Tobiroppo members arrived at Onigashima during the Fire Festival. Kaido had them brought into his fortress, and as they waited, they started discussing about which of them would be promoted to All-Star if Queen died. X Drake denied any interest in promotion, and Sasaki gladly accepted his noncompetitive attitude, suggesting that Page One do the same. Sasaki then looked forward to meeting with Kaido after their wait, and reacted with shock along with the other Tobiroppo when Ulti insulted their captain.

Trivia

 * Sasaki is possibly named after the card game "44A", also known as Sasaki (ササキ), fitting with the card game-themed names of the Headliners.
