Lucky Roo[4] is an executive of the Red Hair Pirates.[5][6] He is also the one who found the Gomu Gomu no Mi which was eaten by Monkey D. Luffy.

Appearance

Lucky Roo has a round body shape and he is always seen eating a rack of meat. He is shown wearing goggles over his eyes at all times. Out of the entire crew, he appears to have changed the least over the years and shows little in the way of aging. In every appearance, Roo is smiling happily no matter how serious the situation is, such as Shanks clashing with Whitebeard.

He wears a green t-shirt with white vertical stripes on it, paired by a matching bandanna on his head, short white pants (beige in the anime) with a dark green sash around his waist, and green shoes with fur around the ankles. He has a yellow coat draped over his shoulders like a cape, with a fur-lined collar and red epaulets with black stripes on them.

Personality

Roo appears to be a very fun loving pirate who is often seen hanging around another one of Shanks's crew members, Yasopp. He seems to be one of Shanks's most trusted crew members, as he is always seen when the Red Hair Pirates are featured, usually when something crucial happens. He shares this trait with Benn Beckman and Yasopp. He is the first person to actually kill someone in One Piece and sets the stage for the series: A pirate's life is a dangerous one.

He has a very large appetite and in the manga he is seen drinking a whole barrel of sake by himself in the background while the crew was at the bar Makino worked in.[1] He is almost always shown with a large grin even during the war, holding a large rack of meat in at least one hand, except for one scene in Episode 316, where he is holding onto a rail without any sign of meat.

Abilities and Powers

Not much is known about Roo's abilities, but being a member of a Yonko crew, he is assumed to be very powerful. Despite his round body, he was able to sneak up on a mountain bandit without being noticed.[1]

Weapons

He used a flintlock to shoot a mountain bandit that was threatening Shanks at point blank range.[1]

History

Past

He is originally of the South Blue. He took the Gomu Gomu no Mi from an enemy ship.[2]

Romance Dawn Arc

Red Hair Pirates at Foosha Village

The Red Hair Pirates at Luffy's Hometown.

Lucky Roo was first seen in Luffy's past amongst Shanks' crew. He joined in with his crew's fun while they were bragging about a pirate's life in front of Luffy. He was next seen supporting his captain when a bandit pulled a pistol on him and threatened to kill him by killing the bandit first.[1]

East Blue Saga

Loguetown Arc

Lucky Roo was present when Dracule Mihawk informed his former rival about Luffy's up-and-coming, something that surprised him. The crew threw another party, despite being already worn out by the last one.[7]

Sky Island Saga

Jaya Arc

When Rockstar came back from Whitebeard, Lucky Roo was with Shanks and the others. He asked Shanks what he planned on doing, since Whitebeard had ripped up his letter.[8]

Water 7 Saga

Post-Enies Lobby Arc

Red Hair Pirates Watch Shanks Clash with Whitebeard

Roo, Yasopp, and Beckman watch as their captain clashes with Whitebeard.

Lucky Roo watched on as Shanks encountered Whitebeard.[9]

Summit War Saga

Marineford Arc

His crew intercepted Kaido, and it can be assumed that he helped in this interception.[10] Upon the Red Hair Pirates arriving at Marineford, he was shown standing alongside Shanks and the rest of the crew.[11] He asked Shanks if he wanted to see Luffy again for the first time in ten years, with food in his mouth.[12]

Post-War Arc

Lucky Roo was also seen present at Ace and Whitebeard's funeral somewhere in the New World.[13]

Major Battles

Early One Piece

Lucky Roo seems to have been the end product of redrawing of a previous fat member of Shanks' crew who appeared in the Romance Dawn in several panels. Notably, Lucky Roo appears in a panel that itself is a repeat from the original Romance Dawn, also in the same part the human chain when the crew is dancing about a pirate's life, he also has mirrored pose that is identical to the original fat crew member from the original Romance Dawn.

Translation and Dub Issues

"Roux" translates from French as "russet-red". Although his name can be written as either "Lucky Roux" or "Lucky Roo". He is known as "Lucky Roux" in the official English versions as well.

In the 4Kids dub, the scene where Lucky Roo shoots the bandit was edited so that he instead shoots a cap gun near the bandit's head. Shanks was then given added dialogue, implying that the bandit just passed out, rather than being killed ("When he wakes up, tell him it was a cap gun").
