Artur Bacca

Artur Bacca, also known as Carlos Bacca, is a captain of his unnamed pirate crew and the son of Wolf. He is the main antagonist of One Piece novel Law.

Appearance
Bacca is described as a man with long black hair and wearing an elliptical pirate hat. His crazed evil nature is clearly visible on his face.

Personality
Bacca is a cruel and selfish pirate who will do anything to get what he wants. In his own view however, he has never done anything wrong as he simply does what he wants to do and he declares this his creed of 'freedom'.

He was a troublemaker even as a young boy and has committed many crimes. He shows no hesitation in destroying his own hometown and in killing the townspeople so long as he can get what he wants. He also shows no remorse in hurting his own father.

Abilities and Powers
Bacca is a skilled and strong fighter. He twice knocked Wolf out with a single blow whereas Law and group had never been able to defeat Wolf in even a four to one fight. His movements are not very fast but his reactions and strategizing are. Though Law is faster, he manages to dodge his attacks and strike him. He also pulls a feint and succeeds in breaking Law's blade with his ability.

Bacca's weapon of choice is a mace and he wields one in each hand expertly.

Devil Fruit
Bacca ate the Dero Dero no Mi, a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows him to dissolve anything into a liquid, including himself, by shooting beams out of his eyes.
