History[]
Past[]
| — Topknot and Scales talking in the depths.[6] |
About 26 years ago, Topknot and Scales were swimming through the ocean when they passed by the Roger Pirates' ship descending. The two Sea Kings discussed the upcoming birth of their sovereign, and the birth of another sovereign in a distant sea. Their conversation was heard by Roger and Oden, surprising the two Sea Kings.[6][7]
Arabasta Saga[]
Reverse Mountain Arc[]
When the Straw Hat Pirates accidentally sailed into the Calm Belt, Topknot and other Sea Kings, including Mottled and Googly-Eyed, emerged from the sea. However, it soon dived back under the surface, leaving just the latter two Sea Kings with the Going Merry.[2]
Fish-Man Island Saga[]
Fish-Man Island Arc[]
Topknot was one of the Sea Kings unconsciously summoned by Shirahoshi when Luffy was attempting to destroy Noah to save Fish-Man. Topknot and five others of its kind—Mottled, Googly-Eyed, Underbite, Scales and Birdy—took ahold of the ship's chains, halting its descend. Conversing with Shirahoshi, the Sea Kings explained that she was their sovereign and had called them. After Shirahoshi left to save the fainted Luffy, the Sea Kings talked amongst themselves. They noted that it had seemed as if Luffy had heard their voices, something that previously occured with Gol D. Roger. They then wondered if Noah could be repaired before the "promised day". After pulling Noah to the Sea Forest, they swam away.[5][3]
