Mr 1

Das Bones—known during the Great Pirate Era by the codename Mr. 1—is one of the most fearsome and loyal executive officers of the now-defunct criminal organization Baroque Works. A tall, muscular man with an impassive demeanor, he served in the Kingdom of Alabasta as the right-hand man to the Warlord Crocodile and partner to Miss Doublefinger; he was already feared in the underworld long before that, thanks to his ruthless reputation as a bounty hunter from the West Blue. His calculating coldness, combat pragmatism, and stoic, taciturn nature made him the perfect agent to execute lethal missions without hesitation, treating brutality not as an act of rage, but as a purely professional duty. Das Bones’ lethality in combat stems from the Supa Supa no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that transforms his entire body into living steel blades. This ability grants him both a virtually impenetrable defense against conventional physical attacks and devastating cutting power, allowing him to turn his arms, legs, or even his fingers and toes into razors, spinning saws, and sharp swords. During their epic clash in the city of Alubarna, he pushed Zoro to the absolute limit of survival, forcing the Straw Hat swordsman to transcend his own boundaries to learn how to "hear the breath of steel" and successfully cut through him. Following the collapse of Baroque Works, Mr. 1 was captured by the Marines and sent to the maximum-security prison Impel Down, where he demonstrated unwavering resilience within the grueling Level 4. When Crocodile was freed by Monkey D. Luffy, Das Bones refused the chance to escape alone, choosing instead to reunite with his former leader; he played a pivotal role during the mass prison break and the subsequent Summit War at Marineford, where he protected Luffy at Crocodile's behest and faced opponents of Dracule Mihawk's caliber. Maintaining unwavering loyalty that transcends the dissolution of his former organization, Das Bones currently operates alongside Crocodile in the New World, serving as a trusted operative within the influential and feared Cross Guild.
