Jean Bart

Jean Bart is a pirate who was originally introduced as Saint Roswald's slave, being part of his Pirate Captain Collection. He currently serves under Trafalgar Law after being freed from the Tenryuubito.

Appearance
Jean Bart is a large man with a fierce looking face comparable to a guard animal. He has tattoos on his forehead and he often bares his teeth. He has large sideburns that line the sides of his face as well as a long mane that runs down his back. When he was a slave, he wore rags and often walked on all fours like a lumbering beast. He was originally wearing rags of a jumpsuit, but changed to a black shirt when he joined the Heart Pirates.

Like all slaves of the World Nobles, Bart has the "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon" mark burnt onto his back, which would forever signify him as "less than human".

Personality
Most of his personality hasn't been revealed yet, but he seems to be a man of honor and repays his debts as he joined Law's crew, the Heart Pirates after he was freed from the Tenryuubito.

Abilities and Powers
Jean Bart is an immensely strong man capable of breaking a bridge with a single punch.

It should be noted that slaves are often pumped full of sedatives and half-starved to keep them more docile; therefore it's likely that he has yet to show his true power. However, Bart still seemed to be quite healthy looking even in such states, as he looked nothing less than menacing while under Roswald's chains.

His Past
Jean Bart's history is not known yet, but it is known that he once was a renowned pirate, as Trafalgar Law recognized him. At some point, he was taken as a slave by the Tenryuubito.

Sabaody Archelago arc
He was first seen as a slave walking on all four after Dias's collar exploded. Jean Bart was freed by Trafalgar Law, after everyone was fleeing the Human Auctioning House building as an Admiral would be arriving. Law recognized Jean Bart, and after saying his name, Bart replied with "I haven't been called by that in years". Jean Bart glady accepted an offer to join the Heart Pirates. Law says that half his thanks should go to Mister Straw Hat or who we know, as Luffy. He was last seeing battling a Pacifista, along with Eustass Kidd and Law.

Marineford Arc
Jean Bart is with the Heart Pirates when they were watching the war at Marineford. When the broadcast is cut off, Law tells Jean Bart that they are setting sail.

He later appears at the Whitebeard War with the Heart Pirates submarine with Trafalgar Law, Bepo and the other two unnamed crewmembers. He catches Luffy and Jinbei as Buggy throws them to the ship and successfully gets them in the ship as the crew dives into the sea.
