Charlotte Cadenza is the seventh son and the twelfth child of the Charlotte Family and the third quintuplet brother of Opera, Counter, Cabaletta, and Gala.[2] He is also an officer of the Big Mom Pirates.[3]
Appearance[]
Cadenza concept art from the anime.
Cadenza is an enormous man with a round and thick body supported by small legs. His physique is identical to that of his quintuplet brothers. He has light brown hair that stands in both sides of his head, leaving most of his head bare and revealing several studded bumps on his scalp. He also has a very large beard. He wears a matching black and pink striped short sleeved shirt, bowler hat and pants, and is barefoot, which gives the impression of a prisoner's uniform. Cadenza wears dotted wristlets and a dotted belt the same as his brothers.[1][6]
Personality[]
As a member of the Charlotte Family and the Big Mom Pirates, Cadenza is loyal to his affiliation to the point that he joined the enraged army in order to avenge his younger brother's defeat.[1] In the anime, he was shown to have a strong will, refusing to give away Sanji's location to Luffy despite being strangled.[7]
Abilities and Powers[]
As an officer of the Big Mom Pirates, Cadenza has authority over lower-ranking members of his crew.[3]
Physical Abilities[]
Cadenza possesses sufficient physical strength to knock out Luffy (after he was still recovering from his fight with Cracker) in a tandem attack with his identical brother Counter.
Haki[]
Cadenza was shown to be able to use Armament Haki when he attacked Monkey D. Luffy.[6] In the anime, his Haki was shown to be tough enough to resist Luffy's Hawk Gatling, and Cadenza took the attack without being forced back though Luffy was pretty weakened at the time.[7]
Attacks[]
Counter and Cadenza attack Luffy.
- Cream Punch (クリームパンチ, Kurīmu panchi?): An attack performed together with his brother Counter, the two of them attack their opponent from opposite sides with Armament Haki-imbued punches. This was first used against Luffy, and was strong enough to bring him down (however, Luffy was already significantly fatigued and damaged from his fights with Cracker, Sanji, and the Chess Army).[6]
History[]
Past[]
Cadenza was born 46 years ago to Big Mom and her unknown fifth husband, as the middle of a set of identical quintuplets, following Opera and Counter and preceding Cabaletta and Gala. Cadenza is overall the seventh son of the Charlotte Family.[2]
Whole Cake Island Saga[]
Whole Cake Island Arc[]

The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story.
After Luffy broke out of the Prisoner Library, Cadenza went to confront him as he was racing through the chateau. After a brief clash, Cadenza was strangled by Luffy, who wanted to know Sanji's location. However, Cadenza refused to tell him and passed out.[7]

Trivia[]
- A Cadenza is a virtuoso solo passage inserted into a movement in a concerto or other work, typically near the end. He shares his music-themed name with his fellow quintuplets and a few other siblings.
- The number of hair groups Cadenza has matches his position as part of quintuplets, with Opera having zero, Counter having one, him having two, Cabaletta having three, and Gala having four.
