Giolla

Giolla is quite full of herself, and has a habit of mishearing what her adversaries say to her as compliments, such as being referred to as a mermaid princess, supermodel, Miss Universe, or Boa Hancock, and then berating them for calling her such when they said no such thing to begin with. She is very passionate about art and her ability to bring her visions to life. However, her passion for the arts seems to somewhat cloud her judgment, as Brook was able to fool her into undoing the transformation on his violin and sword-cane by telling her that he also was an artist and that he wanted to play music in tandem with her art. She is also very cruel when she wishes to be, as shown when she violently yelled and later slapped Mansherry repeatedly to force her powers out all the while smiling at her situation. At age 45, around when Law joined the Donquixote Pirates crew, Giolla was seen acting as a mother-like figure for younger members of the crew, such as baby Dellinger and little Baby 5 and Buffalo. Later she also took young Law under her wing only to be brushed off with irritation while trying to treat his wounds. She was prone to prejudice based on false rumors, as she exclaimed in shock when seeing Law’s Amber Lead Syndrome, believing it was contagious before Doflamingo corrected her. Giolla ends her sentences with the Japanese auxiliary verb zamasu (ザマス?), which is an antiquated and formal speech pattern.

Giolla ate the Ato Ato no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to alter the shape and appearance of any object, including living organisms, into whatever she wishes, making it into distorted, abstract art. She does so by conjuring a colored cloud from her head and throwing it at her target. She is also able to revert an object back to its normal state through the same method. Any weapon or vehicle that has been warped by this ability loses its functionality. Additionally, she can transform people into art and slowly merge them with her other artworks, resulting in them dying once the process is complete. In the anime, she also can also unleash vast amounts of her art clouds and have them cover a wide area. This allows her to create her own personal abstract art pocket dimension, totally invisible to the outside world, where she controls everything, and trap her enemies inside. Giolla herself can take the form of a gigantic abstract work of art, as well as absorb her opponents attacks and recreate abstract art versions of said attacks to use against them. However, the dimension can be destroyed and escaped if Giolla is delt a strong enough blow, such as the Gaon Cannon.

Weapons

While residing in Spider Miles 16 years ago, Giolla used a pistol to fight. It is unknown if she still has it.

Giolla later participated in a raid alongside Lao G, Gladius, Baby 5, Senor Pink, and Machvise. When Law tried to flee after stabbing Corazon in the back, Giolla and Machvise caught Law and brought him before Doflamingo. However, they were unaware of Law’s transgression. After Law was made an official member of the crew, the Donquixote Pirates spread their influence as they traveled to the Grand Line. They participated in various activities such as looting, making business deals, and collecting bounties. Six months after Rosinante and Law left the crew, the Donquixote Pirates plotted to steal the Ope Ope no Mi from pirates who were going to sell it to the Marines. They later arrived at Minion Island and were informed by Vergo of Rosinante’s treachery. She participated in Doflamingo’s takeover of Dressrosa. After Monet opened the gates to the royal palace, she and the other officers of the Donquixote Pirates invaded the palace.

Dressrosa Saga

Punk Hazard Arc

Giolla played cards with Lao G while Doflamingo talked on the phone with Vergo and Caesar Clown. When Sugar told her that Doflamingo was not in his room, Giolla concluded that he must have left for Punk Hazard.

Dressrosa Arc

She was again playing cards with Lao G, when Baby 5 tried to find Trebol. She got annoyed when Baby 5 accepted Trebol’s proposal to her. The Straw Hat Pirates guarding the Thousand Sunny heard her going through the mens’ quarters, searching for something. She assaulted the ship and transformed Nami, Chopper, Brook, Momonosuke, and the ship into abstract forms of art. She was also ordered by Doflamingo to kidnap Momonosuke but initially failed to recognize Momonosuke in his dragon form.

Nami’s group managed to escape the ship, but once Giolla saw Momonosuke with them, she demanded that they hand the boy over. Nami, Brook, and Chopper fought back and managed to defeat Giolla’s men and destroy her ship. Giolla then used her Devil Fruit powers to render any further resistance useless. Giolla later trapped Chopper, Momonosuke, and Nami in a deadly painting that was going to slowly suffocate them within ten minutes. Brook acted nonchalant, seemingly caring more about the art that was being created than his friends’ lives.

The skeleton asked Giolla to turn his violin and cane back to normal so that he could add accompaniment to their death. Once Giolla complied, Brook slashed her with Ekaki-Uta: Hitoyogiri, defeating her. This caused her power to wear off, turning the group back to normal. Later on, Nami’s group kept attacking her to ensure Giolla was completely incapacitated. They then discussed about what to do with Giolla and wondered why Law was not handing Caesar back to Doflamingo.

Giolla proudly answered their question, telling them that her master, Doflamingo, never really quit the Seven Warlords of the Sea and explained his gambit to them. That left the crew shocked and worried. When they arrived at Green Bit, Giolla called out to Doflamingo as he approached the Thousand Sunny with the intention of killing Nami’s group. Sanji intercepted him, but he was soon immobilized by Doflamingo’s strings. Giolla was certain that Sanji was going to meet certain death.

However, Law intervened using Shambles and teleported Sanji, Caesar, and himself to the Thousand Sunny. After instructing Nami’s group to head for Zou, Law used Giolla as a hostage, giving Nami’s group enough time to escape using Coup de Burst. Giolla was then seen on the iron bridge, being held at sword point by Law as Doflamingo confronted him. Once released, Giolla quickly fled the iron bridge before Law and Doflamingo clashed. After Doflamingo unleashed the Birdcage, Giolla was tasked in reviving the Donquixote officers who were defeated in their battles.

Alongside the unconscious forms of Lao G, Dellinger, Sugar, Machvise, and several subordinates, Giolla tried to convince the Dwarf Princess, Mansherry, into healing them just as she had healed Sugar earlier. But Mansherry, having realized that she was helping bad people, refused to help them again. Giolla and her subordinates were momentarily swayed by her cuteness, but Giolla quickly regained her senses and knocked out one of her subordinates for getting distracted. Furious, Giolla tried to force Mansherry into releasing her healing powers by squeezing her, which caused some of her tears to fall on top of the subordinate she just injured, who was miraculously healed instantly. Realizing that Mansherry’s tears possess healing powers, Giolla mercilessly slapped Mansherry into a crying fit until Leo burst through the door, intent on rescuing his princess.

However, the princess was crying profusely, and Giolla swiped her across the fallen officers, sending the healing tears towards them. Giolla’s plan was thwarted when Kabu knocked the officers away from the tears, leaving them to splash harmlessly on the floor. While Giolla was caught off guard, Leo stitched the officers and subordinates onto Giolla’s girth and pulled the string, sending them headfirst onto Giolla and seriously injuring her. As she fell, she muttered a compliment for Leo on the artful way he defeated her. Leo’s attack did not cause Giolla to lose consciousness. While she was injured enough to be incapable of moving, she saw as Princess Mansherry left with Leo and Kabu. She thought to herself that she had to inform Doflamingo at once, reflecting on Mansherry’s ultimate power, a restoration ability that could drain her lifespan, which Doflamingo was relying on as a fail-safe in the event that something happened to the SMILE Factory. Giolla prayed that Senor Pink would be able to defend the factory from the danger it was now in. After Doflamingo’s defeat, Giolla who eventually pass out from her injuries and her fellow officers were arrested by the Marines.
