Personality

Bekori is a stern, money-minded corrupt king who prioritized paying the Heavenly Tribute over the welfare of the country's citizens. He was sycophantically devoted to the World Nobles, doing whatever he felt necessary to appease them and brutalizing his countrymen to expand their domains wealth so he could earn greater favor. The king looked down on poor citizens from the south region and was perfectly fine with enslaving them due to their lack of financial contribution to the tariff. Bekori also naively believed that the rich people who can afford to pay the Celestial Dragon's tribute in the north of his kingdom would share his thought process of discriminating against the southern end, the truth of it was however, they were all horrified and disgusted by it. When his wealthier statesmen and other nobility of the northern sector of the Kingdom protested his draconian actions in burning down the South of the country, Bekori had no qualms ordering them shot and killed, showing that the king only ever cared about himself and not his subjects or kingdom. In addition to his social and royal ineptness, Bekori was frequently shown to be extremely stupid and ignorant, foolishly underestimating Kuma, a powerful individual who had foiled his reign multiple times. Even after being heavily injured and chased out of the kingdom twice, Bekori still refused to learn from his mistakes, going so far as to use malicious slander to placate himself as a victim after his fall to compensate his own misdeeds. Continually thinking rather lowly of Kuma as well as shallowly believing that he could easily depose him with support from the Marines, Bekori stubbornly attempted to regain his status until his eventual demise.

Abilities And Powers

As king of the Sorbet Kingdom, Bekori had authority over all of the citizens and the power to enact policies and laws as he pleased.

History

25 years ago, Bekori had recently taken the throne of Sorbet Kingdom, succeeding Bulldog. 22 years ago, Bartholomew Kuma protested against the Royal Army enslaving citizens from the south region. Afterwards, Bekori declared that only the north region of Sorbet would be the actual kingdom, and any citizens who could not pay the Heavenly Tribute would be enslaved. Shortly after, the Freedom Fighters attacked the kingdom to liberate it. After the attack, the segregation and enslavement policies were terminated.

Six years ago, 16 years after his policies backfired, Bekori somehow returned to power and set about accomplishing his original goal once more. This time, he attempted to eradicate the "deadweight" by burning them in their homes. Bekori explained his motivations for this event to some of his subordinates, informing them that he got the idea from an eastern nation that did the same thing sometime in the past, gaining said king favor with the World Nobles. When the citizens and nobles protested against his horrific plans, Bekori ordered a few of them to be killed. Before this could be accomplished, Bartholomew Kuma arrived to take him down. Bekori threatened Kuma with consequences for raising up against him, but in response, Kuma used his ability to blow Bekori away along with the castle, resulting in the events going down in history as the Solo Revolution. Despite the second failure of his plans, Bekori survived but refused to give up or learn from his mistakes. He worked with the World Government to smear Kuma as a "tyrant" and himself as a benevolent ruler who was violently overthrown. Shortly after, Bekori brought a Marine fleet to Sorbet in an attempt to oust Kuma by force, although Kuma simply sank the entire armada. It is unknown whether Bekori survived the attack or perished at sea.

Trivia

Bekori's name is likely derived from pekori (ぺこり?), the Japanese word which refers to the action of quickly bowing or lowering one's head, referencing Bekori's servile attitude towards the Celestial Dragons.
