Artur Bacca is the captain of an unnamed pirate crew and the son of Wolf. He is the main antagonist of One Piece novel Law.[1]

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.[1]

Personality[]

Bacca is a cruel and selfish pirate who will do anything to get what he wants. However, in his own view, he simply does what he wants, and has therefore never done anything wrong; according to him, this follows his creed of "freedom".

He's been a troublemaker since his childhood, and has committed many crimes. He shows no hesitation in destroying his own hometown or in killing the townspeople so long as he can get what he wants, and shows no remorse in hurting his own father.

Abilities and Powers[]

Bacca is a skilled and strong fighter. He knocked Wolf out with a single blow twice, whereas Law and his group had never been able to defeat Wolf in even a four-on-one fight. Despite his movements not being very fast, his reactions and strategizing are; even though he's slower than Law, he was able to dodge his attacks and strike him by leveraging his faster reaction time. During their battle, he is able to trick Law with a feint, successfully breaking his blade.

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

Devil Fruit[]

Further information: Dero Dero no Mi

Bacca ate the Dero Dero no Mi, a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows him to dissolve himself into a liquid, as well as "dissolve" the will of others, taking control of them. 

History[]

Past[]

Bacca was born and raised on Swallow Island. 25 years before novel Law, he left the island to become a pirate, with his father joining to try and control his temper and cruelty. At some point over the next 5 years, Bacca ate the Dero Dero no Mi.

Twelve years before the events of One Piece novel Law, the crew ended up back on Swallow Island. Bacca proceeded to pillage and destroy Pleasure Town, to Wolf's horror. Wolf remained on the island, and Bacca left with his crew, continuing to be a pirate.[2]

Some time later, Bacca and his crew attempted to go to the Grand Line. However, they were swiftly defeated, and half the crew died. They barely managed to make it back to the North Blue, and Bacca decided to raid Swallow Island again, having found evidence of Captain Ladoga's treasure on the island.

Trivia[]

  • In the original serialization in One Piece magazine, he was called Artur Bacca upon his introduction in chapter 3 but is called Carlos Bacca (カルロス・バッカ, Karurosu Bakka?) in chapter 4. This is corrected in the novel, in which he is always called Artur Bacca.
  • His name may have come from the Colombian football player Carlos Arturo Bacca Ahumada. He is called Bacca by his father, indicating it is his given name.
  • His ability and its effects, his weapon being a mace, his creed of freedom as well as his name seem to be a reference to Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, intoxication and liberation. The name of his Devil Fruit ability, Dero Dero, is a mimetic that is most commonly used to refer to an intoxicated person and likens the state of drunken stupor of a person to the nature of liquids.
