Colon is the half-human half-giant son of Scopper Gaban and Ripley.[3][2]

Appearance[]

Colon is a small giant boy. He has messy pink hair, with bangs covering his right eye, freckles and a round, jutting nose.

Like most giants, Colon dresses in Viking-inspired attire, including a horned helmet, a small cape, and and a tunic held in place by a belt. He carries around a small sword on his right hip.

Personality[]

Colon holds admiration for strong pirates, including Shanks,[1] the Giant Warrior Pirates, and Luffy.[4] He is known as a delinquent among the other schoolchildren, and appears quite violent compared to their more recent peaceful upbringing.[3]

Relationships[]

Ripley[]

Ripley is Colon's mother, making up the giant half of his heritage. He seems to respect her and value the lessons she teaches him, which includes the more traditional warrior culture of Elbaph.[3]

Mato[]

Colon, like his mother, appears to be friends with Mato, as he often hangs out at her tavern[1] and picks up groceries for Ripley.[4]

Abilities and Powers[]

As a half-giant, Colon possesses greater strength and size than the average human and major life expectancy.[1]

Weapons[]

He has a wooden sword that hangs in a sheath on his belt,[4] and Colon appears to have some skill with it, although the sword was easily broken in a brief battle with Luffy.[3]

History[]

Final Saga[]

Egghead Arc[]

When the Red Hair Pirates visited a bar on Elbaph, Colon begged Shanks to recruit him as he wanted to follow his father footsteps but was turned down. He later followed the crew as they set off to fight against the Kid Pirates.[1]

Elbaph Arc[]

Colon witnessed the Giant Warrior Pirates returning near the coast of Elbaph, and was informed they were arriving somewhere else. After the bartender gave him a basket of food, he departed for the Sun World to meet up with the pirates and see Monkey D. Luffy.[4]

Colon Attacks Luffy

Colon attempts an attack on Luffy.

Upon reaching the Sun World, he found the pirates and attacked Luffy, but was quickly knocked back. Impressed by the Emperor's strength, he got into an argument with the nearby schoolchildren about being too violent, and was scolded by his mother for causing a scene. He gave her the lingonberries he brought from Mato and explained his hybrid heritage to Luffy.[3]

Major Battles[]

Trivia[]

  • Colon appears to parallel Monkey D. Luffy during his childhood, also being a tavern-inhabiting child who admired Shanks and wished to be part of the Red Hair Pirates, yet getting similarly rejected due to his young age.
    • Colon's name could be a goroawase-type numerical pun with ko (5) and ro (6) similar to Luffy's signature number: 56.
  • Colon's design seems to be based on the titular character of the Vicke Viking series of books, which inspired the subsequent Vicky the Viking TV series that Eiichiro Oda has previously admitted to having been a fan of during his childhood.[5]
    • Contrastingly, Vicky was a timid and clever boy in a village of brute warriors, while Colon is a violent kid who is considered a delinquent by his contemporaries who left Elbaph's warrior past behind due to King Harald's reforms.
  • Following the theme of Elbaph giants being named after professional wrestlers, Colon may be named after The Colóns, a tag team consisting of the brothers Carlito and Primo, or their father Carlos Colón.
