Appearance

Yainu has a square-shaped face with small, round glasses with his black hair combed back neatly. He wears a red shirt with his crew's jolly roger on the front, with regular pants and shoes. He was given the captain's jacket to wear, which was black with red interior and the crew's symbol on the shoulder pads when he was handed over to the Marines. Overall, Yainu has a passing resemblance to his captain, Kuro, to the point where the Marines were not able to tell the difference.

History

Biography

Five years ago, when Kuro had decided to give up on his life as a pirate due to the constant assaults by the Marines, Jango saw Yainu to be a perfect sacrificial lamb for Kuro's plan. Because Yainu bore a passing resemblance to his captain, he was hypnotized by Jango into believing he was Kuro, and was captured by Morgan, the only member of a Marine crew to survive Kuro's wrath.

Legacy

Afterwards, Yainu was presumably taken into Marine custody and executed, leaving Kuro free to assume a new identity (and, inadvertently, enhancing Morgan's reputation and career). When Kuro was defeated by Monkey D. Luffy and tossed off the Gecko Islands, his existence was eventually rediscovered by the Marines, and reactivating his bounty, thus rendering Yainu's sacrifice to be in vain.

Anime And Manga Differences

The anime openly depicts Nugire being executed by a firing squad (in a manner identical to Morgan's planned execution of Zoro and Koby), confirming that Kuro's ruse was completely successful. In the anime, Nugire is also shown wielding a saber during the Black Cat Pirates' attack on Morgan's unit, suggesting he has at least some level of combat ability.

Translation And Dub Issues

His name is an anagram of the Japanese for "No false charges" (濡れ衣いや, Nureginu iya?, lit. "No wet clothes")—a grim joke referencing his fate. VIZ Media's official One Piece translator Stephen Paul informally translated this as "Snott Mee" , which was later adopted by Shueisha's official website for the 7th popularity poll. The 4Kids-dubbed anime, though still acknowledging his execution, softens the violence by recoloring the Marines' rifles to seem more toy-like and removing the scene where they actually fire; his execution post is also (much like Zoro's) edited to appear less cross-like.
