Bepo

Bepo is a prominent member of the Heart Pirates under captain Trafalgar Law. He is a talking bear, a fact which he is apparently sensitive about. It appears that he holds crew rank in high regard as he continues to acknowledge Jean Bart as "below me, since you are new".

Appearance
Bepo is a white bear (possibly a polar bear as noted by the Marines) in an orange jumpsuit that bears the jolly roger of the Heart Pirates. He wears small brown boots and has very pointed, sharp teeth. His size is that of a normal bear, being considerably taller than common humans.

Personality
Bepo tends to get depressed and apologize whenever people talk about his appearance as a bipedal bear who can talk, as well as when Hancock called him a beast and scolded him for attempting to change the subject. His crewmates also scolded him when he was wondering if Amazon Lily had female bears, much to their annoyance. Overall, members of the Heart Pirates state Bepo has a weak will. This is ironic as he was able to remain conscious after taking a blast of Haki from Rayleigh, and only strong willed characters are able to withstand Haki. Those who don't know him call him meek. In the anime, he is shown to dislike hot environments, as he complained when the Heart Pirates' submarine was near an underwater volcanic region.

Abilities and Powers
Bepo is a bear who apparently knows how to talk. He is fairly strong willed, being able to withstand a blast of Silvers Rayleigh's Haki. He is also a martial artist with a fighting style similar in form of that of real life martial artists such as Bruce Lee. He can take several Marines with ease but when he attempted to kick a Pacifista he wounded his leg, similar to Sanji's attack on Bartholomew Kuma.

Sabaody Archipelago
He is seen alongside his Captain during the Supernovas introduction and then in the Auction House with his crew. After the Tenryuubito Incident, he fights several Marines and then escapes with Law, Jean Bart and the rest of the Heart Pirates, to later meet the Kid Pirates in a battle against a Pacifista unit.

Post-War Arc
Bepo is with the Heart Pirates when they were watching the war at Marineford. When the broadcast is cut off, Law tells his crew that they are setting sail.

Bepo appears with Trafalgar Law and his crew in Marineford after Luffy and Jinbe were wounded by Akainu. When Buggy leaves Luffy and Jinbe to the Heart Pirates, Bepo carries Luffy saying that the straw hat captain was severly wounded and wondering if the boy was still alive.

He and the other Heart Pirates managed to elude the Admirals and escaped Marineford successfully. Out in the open sea, the crew encountered the Shichibukai, Boa Hancock. When Hancock asks the crew about Luffy's condition, Bepo compliments Hancock for being able to track the submarine. Hancock then scolds Bepo for changing the subject and refers to Bepo as "beast", which causes the bear to suffer depression. Hancock then demands Bepo to give her a Den Den Mushi and Bepo quickly complies which doesn't go too well for Bepo's fellow crewmates.

The Heart Pirates soon reached Amazon Lily and they are at the port. While Bepo's fellow cremates are anxious to see into the isle of women, Bepo asks if there are female bears too. His crewmates snapped back reminding him Amazon Lily is a country of human women, causing Bepo to be depressed again.

After the arrival of Silvers Rayleigh, the Heart Pirates leave Amazon Lily. Bepo's crewmates are depressed that they did not get a chance to peek into the women kingdom. Bepo states that it would be better if they were bears, only to be told to shut up.

Bepo was seen along with the rest of the Heart Pirates while Law was biding his time about going into the New World, though he was only sleeping and being used as a back rest by Law.

Trivia

 * Bepo's name is similar to a poem by Lord Byron; the titular character of the poem was captured, enslaved, and then was freed by a band of pirates that he joined, a situation similar to Bepo's crewmate Jean Bart.
