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.

==Translation and Dub Issues==
  
==Translation and Dub Issues==
  +
Sources have remained inconsistent on whether his name should be romanized as ''Roux'' or ''Roo'':
−
"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. <!--Which english versions -->
  
  +
*[[One Piece Red: Grand Characters|Databook ''Red'']], the first "professional" romanization, uses ''Roo''.{{Qref|data=red|page=153|Lucky Roux's name is romanized as "Lucky Roo".}}
  +
* His wanted poster at the [[One Piece Exhibition]] uses ''Roux''.
  +
*The [[Vivre Card - One Piece Visual Dictionary|Vivre Card databook]] initially used the ''Roo'' spelling{{Qref|name=vivre card}} but later corrected it to ''Roux'' on the official website's list of revisions.{{Qref|name=roux}}
  +
*All official English sources, from the [[VIZ Media|VIZ manga]]'s translation of [[SBS Volume 5|Volume 5's SBS]] (where his name was first revealed) to [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]]-localized video games such as [[One Piece: Grand Battle! Rush!|''Grand Battle!'']] and [[One Piece: Pirates Carnival|''Pirates Carnival'']], use ''Roux''.
   
  +
For the purposes of this wiki, ''Roux'' is currently treated as the [[canon]]ical spelling.
−
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").
  
  +
  +
''[[Wiktionary:roux|Roux]]'', it should be noted, is the French for a russet-red color; it is also the name of [[Wikipedia:Roux|a flour-based thickener commonly used in meat dishes]].
  +
  +
In the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids-dubbed anime]], Lucky Roux's pistol was recolored and accompanied with rewritten dialogue ("When he wakes up, tell him it was a cap gun") as well as a softer sound effect to imply he had not actually killed Higuma's underling, but merely caused the bandit to pass out from fright. However, the pistol's firing animation and smoke-trail were left unedited.

* Lucky Roo happens to resemble another pirate from another famous Manga artist Leiji Matsumoto, the creator of several anime and manga series. Many of which consist of Space Operas that involve pirates that sail the universe in search of righting wrongs and solving political and revolutionary idealisms. The character he resembles is named Yattaran, who himself is based off another manga artist Kaoru Shintani (best known for Area 88) who, in his early career worked for Matsumoto building models for reference. This could be a coincidence however it most likely is a small shout out to the earlier works of Leji and Kaoru both whom have been writing manga for much longer than Oda has.

The subject of this article is also called Lucky Roo.

Lucky Roux[5] is one of the Senior Officers, a combatant, and the cook of the Red Hair Pirates.[6][7][3]

Appearance

Lucky Roux 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, Roux 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

Roux appears to be a very fun-loving pirate who is often seen hanging around another one of Shanks' 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.

He is not very good with women.[3]

Abilities and Powers

As a Senior Officer of the Red Hair Pirates, Lucky Roux has authority over lower-ranking members of the crew and is a powerful combatant. He was marked as a very notorious pirate by the World Government and Marines.[7]

Roux fights by utilizing his girth to his advantage, using a style called Self-Bowling (自分ボーリング, Jibun Bōringu?). He is capable of curling himself into a ball and then rolling or being tossed around by an ally.[3] Despite his round body, Lucky Roux was able to sneak up on a mountain bandit without being noticed.[8] The muscles in his legs are very strong and surprisingly flexible.[3]

Culinary Expertise

Roux is the chef of Red Hair Pirates.[3]

Haki

Main article: Haki

Roux possesses the ability to use Busoshoku Haki.[3]

Weapons

He used a flintlock pistol to shoot a mountain bandit that was threatening Shanks at point blank range.[8]

History

Past

He is originally of the South Blue. 13 years ago, the Red Hair Pirates (with a great contribution from Lucky Roux) successfully took the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which at that time was guarded by Who's-Who on a World Government ship.[9][10]

Romance Dawn

Combatant Infobox

Roux defending Shanks.

Lucky Roux 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.[8]

East Blue Saga

Loguetown Arc

Lucky Roux 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.[11]

Sky Island Saga

Jaya Arc

When Rockstar came back from Whitebeard, Lucky Roux was with Shanks and the others. He asked Shanks what he planned on doing, since Whitebeard had ripped up his letter.[12]

Water 7 Saga

Post-Enies Lobby Arc

Red Hair Pirates Watch Shanks Clash with Whitebeard

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

Lucky Roux watched on as Shanks encountered Whitebeard.[13]

Summit War Saga

Marineford Arc

His crew intercepted Kaidou, and it can be assumed that he helped in this interception.[14] Upon the Red Hair Pirates arriving at Marineford, he stood alongside Shanks and the rest of the crew. He asked Shanks if he wanted to see Luffy again for the first time in ten years, with food in his mouth.[15][16]

Post-War Arc

Lucky Roux attended Ace and Whitebeard's funeral somewhere in the New World.[17]

During the Timeskip

During the timeskip, the Red Hair Pirates fought against the Kid Pirates and the battle cost Kid his left forearm.[18]

Wano Country Saga

Wano Country Arc

Lucky Roux was on Red Force with the rest of the crew, in the waters surrounding Wano Country. He was excited to finally get to see Luffy after so long and was surprised and dismayed when his captain expressed disinterest. When Shanks reminded him of a recent problem in their territory, Roux remembered that some follower of Luffy's had been burning the Red Hair Pirates flags and replacing them with Straw Hat Pirates flags. Shanks asked how meeting Luffy would make him look after that and Roux reluctantly accepted his captain's decision.[19] When Shanks stopped Admiral Ryokugyu by using Haoshoku Haki, Lucky Roux remarked that Shanks shouldn't use it without a warning as it knocked out the newcomers of the crew, but Shanks ignored his advise.[20]

The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story.

One Piece Film: Red

Uta organized a concert on Elegia in order to realize her dream of performing for the whole world. Roux was present during the concert.[21]

Concludes non-canon section.

Final Saga

Egghead Arc

Lucky Roux accompanied the rest of the Red Hair Pirates as they took Marco back to Sphinx.[22] The crew then made it to Elbaf and met the Giant Warrior Pirates.[23] He was later seen helping the rest of the crew prepare for battle against the Kid Pirates.[24]

Major Battles

Early Concepts

Lucky Roux 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 Roux 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

Sources have remained inconsistent on whether his name should be romanized as Roux or Roo:

For the purposes of this wiki, Roux is currently treated as the canonical spelling.

Roux, it should be noted, is the French for a russet-red color; it is also the name of a flour-based thickener commonly used in meat dishes.

In the 4Kids-dubbed anime, Lucky Roux's pistol was recolored and accompanied with rewritten dialogue ("When he wakes up, tell him it was a cap gun") as well as a softer sound effect to imply he had not actually killed Higuma's underling, but merely caused the bandit to pass out from fright. However, the pistol's firing animation and smoke-trail were left unedited.

Trivia

  • It is likely that his name is a reference to Lucky Luke, a fictional cowboy (gunfighter) from the "Lucky Luke" Franco-Belgian comic book, created by Morris de Bevere. Lucky Luke is known as "The man who shoots faster than his shadow".
    • Furthermore, "Roux" means "Redhead" in French, fitting with his captain's epithet.
  • Lucky Roux appeared shorter than Shanks in their first appearance in Romance Dawn Arc, but he appeared taller than Shanks when they went to Marineford, currently measuring 42cm taller than his captain.[2]
  • Lucky Roux is the first person to kill someone both in the anime and the manga, by shooting a mountain bandit in the head at point blank range.
  • Lucky Roux is the first person to name a Devil Fruit.
  • Lucky Roux happens to resemble another pirate from another famous Manga artist Leiji Matsumoto, the creator of several anime and manga series. Many of which consist of Space Operas that involve pirates that sail the universe in search of righting wrongs and solving political and revolutionary idealisms. The character he resembles is named Yattaran, who himself is based off another manga artist Kaoru Shintani (best known for Area 88) who, in his early career worked for Matsumoto building models for reference. This could be a coincidence however it most likely is a small shout out to the earlier works of Leiji and Kaoru both whom have been writing manga for much longer than Oda has.
  • Lucky Roux's favorite food is chicken meat on the bone. He intends to go on a diet.[2]
