One Piece Wiki

Nekozaemon was a cat created by Kurozumi Kanjuro using the power of the Fude Fude no Mi. It was created to aid him, Kin'emon, and Bariete scale Zunesha's leg to reach Zou, though it ultimately failed in its goal.[1]

Appearance[]

Nekozaemon was a large white cat with brown spots across its body and yellow eyes.

Personality[]

Little is known of Nekozaemon's personality, but it appeared to be fairly dedicated to its task, climbing up Zunesha's leg despite the difficulty.

Abilities and Powers[]

Nekozaemon was strong enough to climb at least partway up Zunesha's leg, an impressive feat with two adult men on its back. However, it was visibly struggling to progress, to the point that Kin'emon questioned if it would even make it to the top.

It has an intense weakness to water, and melted into nothing when it came into contact with it.[1]

History[]

Whole Cake Island Saga[]

Zou Arc[]

After being knocked off Ryunosuke by Bariete,[2] Kanjuro created Nekozaemon to carry himself, Kin'emon, and the Mink up to Zou.

By the time the sun began to set, Nekozaemon had made it only partway up Zunesha's leg, and Kin'emon was beginning to question whether it could make it to the top. As Kanjuro assured him that cats are good climbers, Zou's eruption rain came crashing down the side, and melted Nekozaemon.[1]

Trivia[]

  • "Neko" means cat in Japanese.
  • In the 7th popularity poll, Nekozaemon was ranked 386th.
  • While Nekozaemon's exact progress was ambiguous in the manga, the anime depicted it as having climbed halfway up.
