Personality[]

Gancho, like all the other dwarves, is quite gullible and trusting, and will believe whatever anyone tells him, even if he does not know them that well.[1]

Abilities and Powers[]

It can be assumed that Gancho possesses the same abilities as the rest of his people, such as great strength, agility, and the ability to cultivate any plant. As king, he has the authority to rule over his people.[1]

History[]

Dressrosa Saga[]

Dressrosa Arc[]

When the other dwarves were inspecting the Robin, Gancho demanded to know why Leo had freed her. Although skeptical at first of her innocence, he immediately accepted Leo's statement that she was a good person, and introduced himself to her. He commented that they usually do not get to see a "Big Human" up close. When Robin checked her watch and realized that it was almost time for the exchange of Caesar Clown, the dwarf king asked her if something was wrong. Robin then asked Gancho where her Den Den Mushi was.[1]

Gancho and the other dwarves believed Usopp when he claimed to be the descendant of Mont Blanc Noland as well as a great hero. As Usopp and Robin had a feast, Gancho commented that Usopp's arrival must be a work of fate, before the other dwarves requested Usopp to lead them in the battle against the Donquixote Family.[2] The dwarves prepared to assault a factory located beneath the Corrida Colosseum to rescue five hundred of their captured brethren. When the preparations were complete, Usopp, Robin, and the dwarf army marched to Dressrosa through an underground passage. Gancho appeared out of Robin's cleavage and explained that the dwarves' history with Dressrosa went back 900 years.[3]

Once they gathered at the Riku Royal Army Headquarters hidden beneath Flower Hill, they listened to Thunder Soldier's speech about overthrowing Donquixote Doflamingo.[4] Afterwards, Gancho further explained the history of the dwarves to Robin, Usopp, and Franky, elaborating on their enslavement centuries ago by the Donquixote Family and their liberation by the Riku Family after the Void Century. He went on to say that Doflamingo intended to recreate those dark times, before declaring that the dwarves would never again be enslaved and that they would fight for their freedom, not just for themselves, but also for the five hundred kinsmen Doflamingo still has captive, including his daughter, Mansherry.[5] After Thunder Soldier explained the detailed story about Dressrosa's tragedy to the three Straw Hats, Gancho commented that the dwarves were at first deceived by Doflamingo and were ashamed to have doubted Riku Doldo III.[6]

Three days after Doflamingo's downfall, Gancho gave Leo and his group permission to join Monkey D. Luffy's pirate alliance.[7]

When Riku Doldo III returned to the throne, Gancho introduced himself and Mansherry to the Dressrosa citizens.[8]
