Dr. Kurotsuru,[2] also named "Dr. Black Beard" based on the same name on the lapel of his coat,[1] is a doctor who appeared in Ace's cover story.

Appearance[]

Kurotsuru as he appears in the Digitally Colored Manga.

Like Marshall D. Teach, Dr. Kurotsuru is a round man with relatively thin limbs, has fluffy black hair with the top tucked in by a bandana. He also has a goatee. The doctor wears round glasses, a white a-shirt with a cross on the front, striped-patterned pants, white shoes, a doctor's coat with the name "Dr. Black Beard" on the left side, a medical cross on each side of the collar, and carries a pen in the right breast pocket of the coat. Because of their similar appearance, Ace accidentally mistook the doctor for the true Blackbeard.

Personality[]

Kurotsuru dislikes Ace because the young pirate kicked him in the face. He was angry enough at the pirate to throw him into a river.

History[]

Ace mistook Dr. Kurotsuru for the real Blackbeard and kicked him to the ground, much to the fury of everyone else around them.[1] When Ace realized his mistake, the angry doctor, an angry cook (whom Ace did not pay for his meal from earlier), and other townspeople kicked Ace into the river.[3]

Two years later, the Lulusia Kingdom was annihilated by the World Government. It is unknown if Kurotsuru was on the island during this time.[4]
