Introduction

Colon is the half-human, half-giant son of Scopper Gaban and Ripley. He is the self-proclaimed captain of the "Colon Pirates". Colon is the half-human, half-giant son of Scopper Gaban and Ripley. He is the self-proclaimed captain of the "Colon Pirates".

Appearance

Colon is a small giant boy. He has messy pink hair, with bangs covering his right eye, freckles, and a round, jutting nose. Like most giants, Colon dresses in Viking-inspired attire, including a horned scarlet helmet, a small light blue cape, and a white tunic held in place by a belt. He carries around a small sword on his right hip.

Personality

Colon holds admiration for strong pirates, including his father, Shanks, the Giant Warrior Pirates, and Luffy. He is known as a delinquent among the other schoolchildren, and appears quite violent compared to their more peaceful upbringing. Despite his tough façade, Colon gets afraid easily in dangerous situations, as befitting a child. When threatened by Gunko, he cried out for his father, despite the increased danger that put him in.

Relationships

Family

Ripley

Ripley is Colon's mother, making up the giant half of his heritage. He seems to respect her and value the lessons she teaches him, which include the more traditional warrior culture of Elbaph.

Scopper Gaban

Gaban is Colon's father, making up the human half of his heritage. Colon admires his father for being a strong pirate who is not intimidated even by Elbaph's warriors, while Gaban shows disappointment at being unable to hold his son in his arms due to his giant size. Fittingly, Gaban considers Colon to be his greatest treasure in life, and refuses to do anything that could put his life at risk.

Others

Mato

Colon, like his mother, appears to be friends with Mato, as he often hangs out at her tavern and picks up groceries for Ripley.

Walrus School Children

According to Colon (and the children themselves), all of the attendees of the Walrus School hate him, likely as a result of his more violent upbringing and lack of attendance at the school. However, despite their low opinion of him, Colon considers the entire class to be his friends.

Straw Hat Pirates

Colon first heard of the Straw Hat Pirates when he was rejected by Shanks to join his crew, as he was told to instead remember the name "Luffy". When he was at the Walrus School a couple of days later, his first interaction with Luffy was to ambush him and hit him with a wooden sword, though he did no damage at all. After that short skirmish, Colon introduced himself and his family to the Straw Hat Pirates and was in awe upon witnessing Luffy's strength. Later, when the other children of the Walrus School were in danger, Colon ignored the warnings of the Giants not to run into battle and set out alone. There, he reunited with Nami, Usopp, Brook and Jinbe and agreed to take them with him, though he insisted on dubbing them all the "Colon Pirates", with him as the captain. When Jinbe later saved all the children with sea cloud water, Colon was in awe upon Jinbe's achievement, dubbing it cool and thanking the Straw Hats for saving the children.

Abilities And Powers

As a half-giant, Colon possesses greater strength and size than the average human and extended life expectancy. However, since he is still a child, he is not as strong as the adults.

Weapons

Colon has a wooden sword that hangs in a sheath on his belt, and he appears to have some skill with it, although the sword was easily broken following a brief attack on Luffy.

History

Past

20 years ago, Colon was born to Ripley and Scopper Gaban. His father remarked that he was his greatest treasure.

Final Saga

Egghead Arc

When the Red Hair Pirates visited a tavern on Elbaph, Colon begged Shanks to recruit him as he wanted to follow in his father footsteps but was turned down. He later followed the crew as they set off to fight against the Kid Pirates.

Elbaph Arc

Colon witnessed the Giant Warrior Pirates returning near the coast of Elbaph, and was informed they were arriving somewhere else. After Mato gave him a basket of food, he departed for the Sun World to meet up with the pirates and see Monkey D. Luffy. Upon reaching the Sun World, he found the Straw Hats and attacked Luffy, but was quickly knocked back. Impressed by the Emperor's strength, he got into an argument with the nearby schoolchildren about being too violent, and was scolded by his mother for causing a scene.

He gave her the lingonberries he brought from Mato and explained his hybrid heritage to Luffy. When the group left for the banquet, Colon joined them, and played while the adults drank and ate. After the village suffered an attack by various MMA, Colon demanded a chance to help fight, but was quickly scolded and told to find a place to hide. Undeterred, Colon began prepping a svarr to use to get around the island, which was spotted by the Straw Hats. Having been told to hide as well, the Straw Hats offered to go with Colon, which excited him greatly.

As they took off in the svarr, Colon declared himself the captain of the "Colon Pirates". While sailing through the Sun World, Colon and his "crew" came across his fellow giant children, who had all began sleepwalking directly toward a fire (that had been started by Loki earlier), on the orders of the God's Knights. Acting quickly, Jinbe used Umigumo Ipponzeoi to throw a large amount of sea cloud water onto the fire, extinguishing it. Colon was amazed by Jinbe's display, and sincerely thanked the Straw Hats for saving his fellow giants. However, his words were cut short as the God's Knight Gunko appeared on their svarr.

Colon's allies quickly deduced that Gunko was one of the human intruders on Elbaph, and in the ensuing conversation, Colon demanded that she free his friends. The Straw Hats attempted a few attacks on Gunko, but all failed to hit or leave any lasting damage. When Gunko mentioned her lack of care about the lives of the children, Colon attacked her in anger, but found himself easily subdued with an arrow. Colon was left hanging in the air as his "crew" were thrown overboard, leaving him alone with his captor. Gunko was quick to rid herself of Colon, dropping him off alongside the other children who were still sleepwalking.

After the other children came to, all of them were shocked to learn that they had been kidnapped, and were unable to stray from their path. Colon attempted to act as a leader, but folded quickly upon spotting a pair of MMA. The children eventually continued on down the branch, now escorted personally by Gunko. They eventually came to a stop, with Gunko forming an arrow and forcing Colon's fellow hostage Ronja to walk onto it, dangling her over the edge of the branch. Colon was shocked by the sight, and called out to her while she was forced to speak on the God's Knights broadcast.

Unfortunately, the pressure was too much, and Jarul gave in to the God's Knights demands, ordering Ange to set the Owl Library and Walrus School on fire. Before the children could be taken away, Colon's father, Gaban, arrived in order to save them. Not thinking, and happy to see his father, Colon called out to him, giving Gunko a critical piece of information on their familial connection. Sure enough, she immediately acted on said information, rushing over and pointing a lance at Colon's neck. Gunko threatened to kill Colon should Gaban not surrender. Although he attempted to put up a strong front, Gaban used Haki, and only foresaw death for his son if he did not withdraw. Gaban threw aside his axe and held up his hands in surrender, giving Gunko the opportunity to impale him on a few arrows, before knocking him off the branch. Colon was forced to watch through tears as his father plummeted to an unknown fate below. Moments later, Gunko's body was overcome through possession by Imu, the secret ruler of the world. At the same time, multiple parents, as well as the Giant Warrior Pirates had arrived to make a rescue. Colon cried out to a patron of Mato's bar that he recognized, however the man was incapacitated when he tried to help, due to Sommers' thorns still being present. Annoyed by the surrounding noise, Imu suddenly unleashed Supreme King Haki, knocking all of the children unconscious.

Major Battles

Colon, Nami, Usopp, Jinbe and Brook vs. Gunko

Trivia

Colon appears to parallel Monkey D. Luffy during his childhood, also being a tavern-inhabiting child who admired Shanks and wished to be part of the Red Hair Pirates, yet getting similarly rejected due to his young age. Colon's name could be a goroawase-type numerical pun with ko (5) and ro (6) similar to Luffy's signature number: 56. Colon's design seems to be based on the titular character of the Vicke Viking series of books, which inspired the subsequent Vicky the Viking TV series that Eiichiro Oda has previously admitted to having been a fan of during his childhood. Contrastingly, Vicky was a timid and clever boy in a village of brute warriors, while Colon is a violent kid who is considered a delinquent by his contemporaries who left Elbaph's warrior past behind due to King Harald's reforms. Following the theme of Elbaph giants being named after professional wrestlers, Colon may be named after The Colóns, a tag team consisting of the brothers Carlito and Primo, or their father Carlos Colón.
