Shakuyaku

Shakuyaku, also know by her nickname Shakky, is the Bartender of Shakky's Rip-off Bar on the Sabaody Archipelago. She is a former pirate alongside her companion Rayleigh and is also known for once being chased by notable marine Monkey D. Garp.

Personality
Shakky is very smart, and seems to constantly seek information - particularly on other pirates. She also reads the newspapers in what one could assume to be an obsessive manner, as she believes strongly that knowledge is power. She was the one who informed Luffy of all of the nine other pirates whose bounties exceed 100,000,000. She is rarely seen without a cigarette.

She also seems intent on keeping her age a secret; Luffy asked her how old she was when he heard that she had quit being a pirate forty years ago, but she immediately changed the subject, though she mentioned that she had been chased by Luffy's grandfather. After meeting Luffy for a short time, she is impressed by him, and states that she's rooting for him to become the Pirate King, particularly since she's aware her associate, Silvers Rayleigh was the First Mate of Gold Roger and is aware that Roger and Luffy are similar.

Past
She gave up the life of a pirate forty years ago to open a bar. She is infamous for charging exorbitant prices for her goods, however she makes an exception for Hatchan and the Straw Hats.

Current Events
The Straw Hats return from the Human Auctioning House, where they found Rayleigh, and he tells the group about Roger's fate. Currently, she is taking care of the wounded Hatchan, as the Straw Hats depart. Unknown to her, Keimi, Pappug and Hatchan; Bartholomew Kuma teleported the Straw Hats away from the Sabaody Archipelago to different locations. While it was getting late and the Straw Hats had not been heard of since they left, Keimi began to worry about their safety. While Pappug and Hatchan were convinced they'll be fine, Shakuyaku on the contrary, pointed out that their chances of facing a Marine Admiral and escaping are slim, and noted that the current era is slowly changing, so the Straw Hats must catch and hold on to "the waves" that will inevitably wash it away to survive.

Anime and Manga Differences
In the anime only, she briefly flirts with Brook. When he asks her to show him her panties, she indifferently does so (off screen).

Translation and Dub Issues
The term Shakky uses for her companion, Rayleigh, is うちの人 (Uchi no Hito). This is a common Japanese phrase referring to a companion that lives with one. Depending on the context on how it is used, it can sometimes refer to a woman's husband. However, this is not necessarily always the case. The phrase is usually used amongst friends rather than in formal situations.
