History

Early Years

A middle-aged Tonjit.

Twenty-two years ago, one week after Gol D. Roger's execution, Tonjit was seen inspired to challenge the world with stilts and break a world record.

Meeting the Straw Hat Pirates

Years later, Tonjit was trapped on a pair of very tall stilts for ten years, causing him to be separated from the rest of the nomads. After the Straw Hat Pirates got him down, he lamented that he could not get to the rest of the nomads because of the high tides, but was nonetheless reunited with his long horse, Shelly. Shelly however was later captured by Foxy, which prompted the Davy Back Fight between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Foxy Pirates. After Luffy finally beat Foxy, Admiral Aokiji appeared and used his Devil Fruit powers to freeze all of the water on the island for a week, allowing Tonjit to ride his horse Shelly across the water in order to meet up with his clan. In the anime, instead of Aokiji, Tonjit's grandson appeared from the ground, riding a mole which gave Tonjit transport.

Trivia

  • Tonjit's clothing, nomadic lifestyle, his horse, and his dwelling in a yurt seems to be based on the lifestyles of the nomadic peoples of Mongolia.
