Background
The Celestial Dragons hunted the Lunarians for centuries. King lost his parents, siblings, neighbors, and friends, and was subjected to dissection, injections, and electrocution at Punk Hazard 11 38.
Lin Yuan freed King from a Seastone cell on Punk Hazard’s second basement level. King joined him after learning that Lin Yuan intended to overthrow the World Government and fight the Celestial Dragons 11.
After the group uncovered the truth of the Void Century, King explained that the Lunarians had allied with the Ancient Kingdom and that the World Government had persecuted them partly to erase their knowledge of history 101.
Appearance
King has brown skin, black wings, and golden flames that rise from his back 31 110 124.
- His eye color is described as golden in one passage and crimson or scarlet in later passages 101 110 115.
- He can suppress or extinguish the flames on his back 79 124.
Personality
King is generally quiet and composed, often standing watch while others talk or train. Kaido describes him as stubborn: even under torture at Punk Hazard, he refused to cry out 11 14 17.
He is determined to grow stronger and protect his companions. He continued toward Kuma’s position despite a broken arm at Wano, and later checked Lin Yuan for injuries after the war 81 124. He also rejects attempts to define him solely as a survivor of an exterminated race 38.
