"Shoujou" telah ditampilkan, berarti itu dipilih sebagai sebuah artikel yang menarik.
"Raja Sonar" Shoujou[3] adalah kapten dari Bajak Laut Shoujou, kepala operasi sonar bawah air di sekitar pantai Jaya, saudara angkat dari Masira dan pengikut Kriket Mont Blanc, sebagai bagian dari Aliansi Saruyama. Dia dan Masira sama-sama penggemar dongeng tentang nenek moyang Cricket, Mont Blanc Noland.
Shoujou adalah pria besar yang terlihat seperti orangutan dengan rambut panjang berwarna hijau. Dia mengenakan kemeja hitam berkancing yang terlalu kecil untuk tubuhnya yang memamerkan tubuhnya yang berbulu, mantel kapten hijau dengan lengan di lengannya, dan topi kapten hijau dengan jolly roger pribadinya di depan. Dia juga memakai ikat pinggang yang memiliki ukiran kanji untuk hutan di atasnya. Karena tidak memotong rambutnya dalam dua puluh lima tahun, rambutnya sangat panjang sehingga panjangnya hampir sepanjang tinggi seluruh tubuh Shoujou. Meskipun terlihat seperti spesies lain, dia sebenarnya adalah manusia.[2]
Setelah jeda waktu, dia melepas mantelnya dan mengganti topi kaptennya dengan topi jerami bertepi lebar. Dia juga terlihat dengan sebuah wadah dengan kumbang yang diberikan Luffy di dalamnya tergantung dari tali yang melintang di dadanya.
Shoujou shares his brother's short temper and territorial attitude, but unlike him, he is more laid-back and dislikes being referred to as a monkey. Still, he befriends the Straw Hats with the same ease.
Despite his friendly attitude, he does think highly of his power and abilities. He confidently states that he is the logical replacement for Crocodile as a Warlord of the Sea, despite clearly being nowhere near Crocodile's level of power. He has the habit of telling trivia about his own life to others, asking them if they are impressed about it, but is usually ignored.
Like his brother, he is protective of Cricket, who they have come to know as a father figure. He and his fellow Alliance members displayed an amazing spirit to get back up and continue their modifications to the Going Merry after Bellamy's attacks. On their last encounter with the Straw Hats, they left on good terms.
Abilities and Powers[]
Shoujou commands a large crew of pirates that makes up nearly one half of the Saruyama Alliance. Shoujou and the pirates under him are experts in underwater sonar echo location. They aid Mont Blanc Cricket in his search by searching the seas around Jaya using sonar.
Shoujou himself has a very special type of voice that he uses in both underwater search and in battle. He also wields a microphone that allows him to amplify his voice's strength and reach.
Techniques[]
Search Sonar (探索の雄叫び,Sāchi Sonā?, literally meaning "Roar of Search"): When searching, Shoujou sends sound waves from his ship to the water below via a microphone. Shoujou's Utan Divers then listen for the echoes of these sound waves and determine the identity and location of the various underwater objects surrounding Shoujou's ship in a radius.[5]
Havoc Sonar (破壊の雄叫び,Habokku Sonā?, literally meaning "Roar of Destruction"): When engaged in battle, Shoujou can use his voice to make a special noise into his microphone that sends out destructive sound waves causing pain to anyone and damaging anything nearby. This technique was first seen being used in a failed attempt to strike at the Straw Hats and their ship, the Going Merry.[6]
Non-Canon Techniques[]
Saru Lunge (猿ランジ,Saru Ranji?, "Monkey Lunge"): An anime only attack, both he and Masira launch a strong punch against their opponents. This was first used against the Bellamy Pirates. In the Funimation dub it is called Monkey Punch.
History[]
Past[]
He and his brother showed up to help Mont Blanc Cricket find the lost City of Gold some five or six years ago after learning of the tale of Noland from "Liar Noland".
Sky Island Saga[]
Jaya Arc[]
Shoujou first appears during the Jaya Arc after Luffy beat up Masira, Shoujou attacked and damaged the Going Merry.[1] After the Straw Hats meet Cricket, Masira and Shoujou (whom they run into a while later) act a bit more friendly towards them and help modify the Going Merry so it can travel to Skypiea.
Skypiea Arc[]
When Luffy successfully rang the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell, it brought the Alliance's dream to fruition, and proved that Skypiea does exist. Masira and Shoujou then follow Cricket to pursue their next dream.
He was featured alongside Luffy in the One Piece Monkey Island Mascot Cellphone strap series. He also appeared in One Piece Gashapon Grand Battle Part 4 and One Piece World Collectable Figure Volume 18.
"Shoujou" (originally the name of a vaguely ape-like mythological creature) is the Japanese for orangutan (猩猩,orangutan?), fitting with the Saruyama Alliance's simian theme.[8] It may also be a joke on the Shōjo (少女,Shōjo?)manga demographic, whose female-targeted leads stereotypically have long, flowing hair—a trait that this character takes to an unsanitary, "realistic" extreme.
Due to the presence of two "long" o's in his name, it has received varying romanizations: Shojoe by 4Kids (in the Pirates Carnival video game), Shojo by Funimation, and Shoujou by Viz. The last of these was eventually determined canon by the Vivre Card series.[3]
Trivia[]
Shoujou memiliki jolly roger pribadinya sendiri. Ia memiliki tengkorak dan tulang bersilang tradisional, dengan tengkorak yang memiliki bentuk yang sama dengan wajahnya.
