History[]

Past[]

In his whole life he had met a lot of pirates, such as Silvers Rayleigh, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, Whitey Bay, Squard, Zeff and Mont Blanc Cricket, and began to admire them and their desire for freedom. Creating wax statues in their honor, he educated his son with the same principles.

When Whitebeard died, Bilić took the control of the island and Regis joined the Marines, against Diego's will.

Episode of Luffy[]

Diego's House Destroyed

Diego discovers that his house is destroyed.

When the Thousand Sunny fell on the island, it destroyed Diego's house. Later, he met Luffy and they started to talk about pirates. Diego then decided to show Luffy his wax statues. After Luffy had a flashback, Usopp and Chopper came in and Usopp spotted the first wax figure that Regis made. Diego then decided that he would deliver the wax figure to his son but due to his age, Luffy offered to make the delivery.

While the Straw Hat Pirates were attacking Bilić's Marine base, Diego met Koby, who had an idea to put an end to Bilić's tyranny. After Luffy defeated Bilić, Koby used Diego's statue of Borsalino to claim the end of Bilić and his deportation to a court-martial. Then Diego and Regis met again, but this time the craftsman let his son decide his way. Later, Diego started to model Luffy's wax statue.

Trivia[]

  • Diego's collection is similar to a wax museum among which London's Madame Tussauds is one of the most famous.
  • When Luffy learns about Diego's wax modelling skills, he asks him if he knows about "that three-guy".
  • Luffy's expression and position on his wax statue resembles his Bounty photo.
  • Marco's position on his wax statue resembles the one when he got introduced in the Chapter 434.
  • Diego's meeting with the Red Hair Pirates is the only one apparently placeable, due to their wax statues' appearance, which is of more than 12 years ago (Shanks has his left arm and straw hat).
