Shirotsu is a boy from Soil Island. He appears in One Piece Premier Show 2022.[1]
Appearance[]
Shirotsu is a slim adolescent boy with short brown hair. He wears lime green cargo shorts, a short-sleeved white button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, calf-length white socks, a white baseball cap, blue sneakers with white laces, and a light blue cape with white lining. He has a silver four leaf clover symbol on his cap, shirt, and cape.[1]
As a member of the Age Age Super Marines, he wore a black cloak above his normal clothes.[2]
Personality[]
Shirotsu, like his friend Kuroba, is an ambitious person, who aspires to join the Marines and become an Admiral. He specifically looks up to Admiral Aokiji. Unlike Kuroba, he is much less firm on his beliefs, and had no problem with Yehudi's philosophy of involving civilians in combat.[2]
Abilities and Powers[]
Despite being a fully self-taught fighter, Shirotsu is fairly strong, defeating a group of Dondoko Pirates by himself.
When under the effect of the Chuni Chuni no Mi, Shirotsu was significantly more powerful, and utilized a technique resembling the Rokuogan. In this form, he was capable of battling Luffy, but was unable to control himself.
Rokushiki[]
Shirotsu has taught himself a variant of Tekkai, which was strong enough to perfectly defend against one of Luffy's attacks.[2]
History[]
Past[]
When they were young, Kuroba and Shirotsu made a promise to each other, to join the Marines and become Admirals.[2]
One Piece Premier Show 2022[]
When Soil Island was attacked by the Dondoko Pirates, Kuroba was surrounded by a group of pirates, but Shirotsu saved him. After the Straw Hat Pirates dispatched the rest of the pirates, Shirotsu and Kuroba ran into Luffy, and Shirotsu recognized him. Realizing that they would gain a reputation as do-gooders if they could defeat him, Shirotsu challenged Luffy to a fight. As they began fighting, Luffy punched Shirotsu, who blocked the strike with a self-taught technique resembling Tekkai. Having defeated Kuroba to the side, Zoro asked who the two boys were, and when they explained they wanted to be like Admiral Aokiji, Luffy reminisced about their battle on Long Ring Long Land; realizing that Luffy had fought their idol, Shirotsu challenged him again, but Luffy declined. The two pirates ran from the boys as Shirotsu and Kuroba gave chase, eventually losing them.
Some time later, Shirotsu and Kuroba watched as Yehudi and the Age Age Super Marines defeated the Warlord Buggy. Impressed with his strength, they asked about his training and explained they wanted to be Admirals like Kuzan, but Yehudi claimed to be even better than that. He offered the two boys to join the Age Age Super Marines, and while Shirotsu accepted immediately, Kuroba found the proposal suspicious.
Yehudi and the Age Age Super Marines, with the two boys in tow, went to find the Straw Hats in town. In their initial attack, the Super Marines successfully captured Jinbe, but damaged a civilian's store in the process. Despite Kuroba's distaste with Yehudi's methods, Shirotsu was simply impressed with his strength.
They followed the Straw Hats, and the Super Marines attacked the rest of the crew, defeating them but being forced to retreat due to outside circumstances. In awe of the group's strength and their ability to even defeat the Straw Hats, Shirotsu tried to convince Kuroba to join, but he declined, giving up on their childhood promise and running away.
With Kuroba gone, Shirotsu returned to see Yehudi, who was surprised at Kuroba's absence. Shirotsu asked to join the Age Age Super Marines, and Yehudi accepted, granting him power through the Chuni Chuni no Mi. However, Shirotsu was unable to handle the power he was given, and he shrieked in pain. When Yehudi was finished, Shirotsu was given a black cloak, and was considered a member of the Super Marines.
When the Straw Hats launched an assault on the Super Marines, Shirotsu was tasked with defeating Luffy. He used an imitation of Rokuogan to damage Luffy before he switched places with Kuroba, who began pleading with Shirotsu, though the boy was out of control. Finally, after being repeatedly injured, Kuroba apologized for giving up on their promise, waking Shirotsu from his stupor.
Yehudi angrily attacked the two boys, claiming that friendship is a waste of time, but he was stopped by Luffy. As they fought, Yehudi reclaimed the boost he had given to Shirotsu, fully ending the two boys' fight. They watched as the Straw Hats defeated the various members of the Super Marines. As the battles came to a close, Captain Koby arrived on Soil Island, and the two boys were shocked to discover he was friends with Luffy. Upon hearing their dream, Koby asked them if they wanted to join the Marines, which they both accepted.[2]
Trivia[]
- Shirotsu's name comes from shirotsumekusa (白詰草?), the Japanese word for "white clover". This pairs with his friend Kuroba's name, which originates from "clover".
