Maynard

Maynard the Pursuer is a vice admiral who appears in the Dressrosa Arc. He was registered as a gladiator to compete at the Corrida Colosseum for the Mera Mera no Mi, but was defeated before he could participate.

Appearance
Maynard is a muscular, broad-chested man with dark hair tied up in a wild ponytail that sticks out to one side. He also has a dark beard and a mustache.

His outfit is entirely dark-colored and consists of a cap, studded belt, briefs, a studded band on his left thigh which holds a knife, and sandals that reach just below his knees and are studded down the front. Under his cap he has on what appears to be either a mask or sunglasses.

Personality
As a Marine, Maynard has a strong sense of justice. He seems extremely brutal in his execution of orders, since he pummeled Gambia and left him in the garbage room.

Abilities and Powers
As a vice admiral, Maynard has command over fellow subordinates, whom are ranked under him. He was strong enough to defeat Gambia, one of Bartolomeo's underlings.

Haki
It was stated that all vice admirals possess Haki, so Maynard can also use the ability. However, he has not been shown using it.

Weapons
Maynard carries around a knife on his left leg, held by a band.

Dressrosa Arc


He went undercover at the Corrida Colosseum tournament as fighter No. 0429, using the alias "Capman".

While reporting the names of competitors to his colleagues, he was discovered by Gambia. As Gambia questioned Maynard about what he was doing, he told his colleagues that he will call back in ten minutes. After hanging up, the vice admiral defeated Gambia and then unceremoniously left the pirate in the garbage room. While washing his hands, he called back to his colleague and told him to cross Gambia's name out, saying that he was mistaken about him and there was no need to worry.

Later, just before Block B began, he was defeated by Bartolomeo and left inside the garbage room, in the same manner as he did Gambia earlier.

Sometime later, Vice Admiral Bastille tried to get in touch with Maynard, but Maynard was not responding.

Anime and Manga Differences
The anime extended Maynard's confrontation with Bartolomeo, showing them having a brief conversation before they fought. It also showed Maynard injured and trying to attack Bartolomeo before being defeated.

Trivia

 * His name is possibly a reference to Robert Maynard, the English Royal Navy captain who was captian of the crew that killed the real-life pirate, Blackbeard.
