Kotetsu seemed to be loyal to the Red Arrows Pirates, willing to fight a Straw Hat Pirate for them. He also seems to be an honorable person, admitting defeat at the hands of Sanji.

Abilities and Powers

Past
Many years ago, Kotetsu joined the Red Arrows Pirates. They sailed on the Grand Line back when Gol D. Roger was still alive. At some point, there was a terrible storm that killed Kotetsu and the rest of the crew, leaving Omatsuri alone. Eventually, the lonely captain arrived on Omatsuri Island and met the Lily Carnation, which he used to revive Kotetsu and the rest of the crew. Since then, they have been attracting pirate crews to the island to break them up and feed them to the plant monster.

Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
In the movie, Kotetsu was usually seen standing next to Omatsuri. During the goldfish challenge, he carried an umbrella over Omatsuri's head to prevent himself and his captain from getting wet. Later, he and Sanji engaged in a cooking battle. They used the sponges and spatulas to take food from each other to make their own creations. Eventually, Sanji managed to create a giant dish grand enough for Kotetsu to admit defeat and forfeit.
