Mr. 4 was the slow and dimwitted partner of [[Miss Merry Christmas]]. He seems incapable of thinking for himself at all and often just does as his partner tells him to do. He laughs freely, but speaks rarely — in contrast to his partner, he speaks very slowly, usually taking most of a scene to articulate a short sentence. However, before he swings his bat he screams "four!" slowly, something which is slightly odd as this action is more associated with the sport of golf instead of baseball.

He is one of two officer agents without a Devil Fruit ability, the other being [[Miss Goldenweek]]. He is tremendously strong, able to wield a baseball bat that weighs 4-tons with no effort. However, he is also extremely slow in nature, so without Miss Merry Christmas handling the "intelligence", he would not succeed. He and his partner are actually, in terms of physical power, stronger than the [[Galdino|Mr. 3]] team, as said by Crocodile, but are a lower rank because Mr. 3 is much smarter and more tactical.

Mr. 4 and his partner Miss Merry Christmas were summoned by [[Crocodile]] along with the other remaining officer agents to meet at the [[Spiders Cafe]] in order to get assignments for the upcoming battle. Mr. 4 did not do much during that time, aside from give Miss Merry Christmas a massage, and giggle when [[Bentham|Mr. 2]] started to dance. He later travels with the other officer agents to [[Rainbase]], where they receive their missions. For their job, Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas are assigned to kidnap [[Nefeltari Cobra]], which they are successful in completing. They later rejoin the other officer agents to stop [[Nefeltari Vivi]] from reaching the rebels and they chase after [[Sanji]], and [[Tony Tony Chopper]]. At first, Chopper had to fight the two alone as Sanji left to check on Vivi, but later [[Usopp]] arrived to assist Chopper in fighting the Mr. 4 team in Sanji's place.

Revision as of 22:45, 9 July 2020

Featured Article Ahoy! This here is the 66th Featured Article.
"Babe" has been featured, meaning it was chosen as an article of interest.

"Catcher-Killing" Babe,[3] better known by his alias Mr. 4, is a former officer agent of the Baroque Works and partner of Miss Merry Christmas.[1] He is also Lassoo's owner.

He was a major antagonist during the Alabasta Arc. After the group's dissolution, he became a pizza delivery boy, stationed at the new Spiders Cafe.[2][5]

Appearance

Babe is rather tall and fat, has big lips, and wears a green shirt that covers most of his body with black pants and gray running shoes. Like all other officer agents, his number is expressed somewhere on his clothing or his person. He has an obscure "4" design on his shirt, as well as a "4" on his baseball bat.

During Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works", he wore a typical striped prisoner uniform and retained his scarf.

Personality

Babe was the slow and dimwitted partner of Miss Merry Christmas. He seems incapable of thinking for himself at all and often just does as his partner tells him to do. He laughs freely, but speaks rarely—in contrast to his partner. He speaks very slowly, usually taking most of a scene to articulate a short sentence. However, before he swings his bat he screams "Fore!" slowly, something which is slightly odd as this action is more associated with the sport of golf instead of baseball.

Abilities and Powers

Mr

Babe's four ton bat.

He is one of two officer agents without a Devil Fruit ability, the other being Miss Goldenweek. He is tremendously strong, able to wield a baseball bat that weighs 4-tons with no effort and his bat swings can destroy bricks from long distances from the shockwaves alone.

However, he is also extremely slow in nature and would not succeed without Miss Merry Christmas handling the "intelligence". His slow tendencies only apply to his intellect and casual walking speed though, as he is able to travel in Miss Merry Christmas' tunnels at tremendous speed and hit several baseballs at once. Crocodile has noted that he and his partner are actually stronger in terms of physical power than the Mr. 3 team, but are a lower rank because Mr. 3 is smarter and more tactical.[6]

Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas have great teamwork during battle, with Mr. 4 being capable of using Miss Merry Christmas' hole network to surprise the enemy and Miss Merry Christmas can restrain the enemy or even bring him closer to Mr. 4 so he can directly strike the enemy with his bat.

Lassoo

Further information: Lassoo and Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Dachshund

Babe has a dog called Lassoo, which was originally a gun, but "ate" the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Dachshund, a Devil Fruit, and became a gun-dog. Lassoo shoots timed exploding baseballs that weigh as much as cannonballs, even when he sneezes (when he's first introduced, he has a cold). Mr. 4 then takes out his 4-ton baseball bat and hits the balls at his enemies, launching them at great velocity and accuracy at different angles. Due to the weight, the cannonballs cannot be thrown back by an opponent of normal strength.

Techniques

  • Yonhyappon Punk Knock (四百本猛打ノック, Yonhyappon Panku Nokku?, literally meaning "Four Hundred Punk Knock"): This attack is not named by him, but by his partner Drophy. Babe has Lassoo shoot a huge group of his exploding baseballs and then hits them back at a surprisingly swift speed into a cluster, so they detonate all at once and create a massive explosion.[7] This attack is called 400 Base Hits in the Viz Manga and 400 Base Knock in the 4Kids and FUNimation dubs.
  • Mogurazuka Yonban Kousaten (モグラ塚4番交差点, Mogurazuka Yonban Kōsaten?, literally meaning "Molehill Intersection Number 4"): A combo attack with Drophy, first, Drophy uses Mogurazuka Highway and carries the opponent past Babe who, upon hearing her call out the attack, smacks the captive with his 4-ton bat, causing massive damage.[8] However, he may accidentally hit an ally as he is too dim witted to note differences in the voice.[9] This is called Moletown Cleanup Hitter in the Viz Manga and the FUNimation dub of Movie 8, Woodchuck Batter Blaster in the 4Kids dub, and Molehill Intersection #4 in the FUNimation dub.

History

Alabasta Saga

Alabasta Arc

As members of Baroque Works, Babe (under the alias of "Mr. 4") and his partner Miss Merry Christmas were summoned by Mr. 0 to the Spiders Cafe in order to get assignments for the final phase of Operation Utopia. While they waited for the other Officer Agents to arrive, Mr. 4 gave Miss Merry Christmas a back massage, and laughed at Mr. 2's dance.[10]

Mr. 4 next travels with the other Officer Agents to Rainbase, where it is revealed that Mr. 0 was actually the Shichibukai Crocodile. After the revelation, Mr. 4 and his companions are informed of Baroque Work's true goal and the steps needed to fulfill it.[11] For their specific mission, Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas are assigned to kidnap King Nefertari Cobra, allowing for Mr. 2 to impersonate him and admit that he had been hoarding a supply of Dance Powder, inciting the Yuba rebels to attack the capital, Alubarna.[12]

After completing their task, Mr. 4's team rejoins the other Officer Agents at Alubarna's gates, attempting to stop Nefertari Vivi from reaching the advancing rebels. Once the agents became unable to identify Vivi from the Straw Hat Pirates, Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas unknowingly pursue Sanji, and Tony Tony Chopper. At first, Chopper had to fight the two alone as Sanji left to check on Vivi, but later Usopp arrives to assist him in fighting the Mr. 4 team in Sanji's place.[13]

Mr. 4 fights Usopp.

During the battle with Usopp and Chopper, Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas initially had the upper-hand, utilizing their combined strengths to severely injure Usopp. However, Usopp was ultimately able to outwit Mr. 4, tricking him into accidentally hitting Miss Merry Christmas with his baseball bat, knocking her unconscious. Usopp then, using Chopper's horns as a slingshot, defeated Mr. 4 by shooting an extremely fast hammer at him (the move called Hissatsu UsoCho Hammer Suisei or UsoCho Hammer Comet), knocking him (as well as his anthropomorphic gun, Lassoo) into a stone structure. Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas were then hit by one of Lassoo's exploding baseballs.[14]

After Operation Utopia failed with Luffy beating Crocodile, Mr. 4 was found and arrested by the Marines headed by Tashigi.[15] He, along with the other arrested Baroque Works agents were then sent to prison.

Mr. 4 realizes his dream as a pizzaboy.

All three were later seen in prison in Miss Goldenweek's chapter title mini-story. They (along with Miss Doublefinger) managed to escape thanks to Miss Goldenweek, Miss Valentine, and Mr. 5, and are now working in the new Spiders Cafe with them.[2]

Trivia

  • Babe is likely named after the famous baseball player Babe Ruth.
  • Babe's codename was initially planned to be Mr. Sunny Day, and Oda meant for him to look more aggressive than he did.[3]
  • Miss Goldenweek's Colors Trap reveals that his dream was to become a pizza delivery boy, which is ironic since pizza delivery boys are known to be fast with their deliveries ("Pizza within 30 hours" as his apron says, the saying usually used is minutes).[2]

SBS-Based Trivia

  • A fan asked what would happen if Babe got struck by Foxy's Noro Noro no Mi (considering that Babe speaks very slowly). Oda, pretending to be Babe, gave a response but the example was short as there wasn't enough room on the page to post the full response.[16]
