Background / History

Abduction and life aboard the Little Ul

Hina was an elite Marine Headquarters Captain commanding a warship in the first half of the Grand Line. When Cifer boarded, she recognized him as the “Black Winged Great Demon” and ordered her soldiers to lower their guns rather than provoke an opponent capable of fighting an Admiral. He threatened the warship’s Marines to compel her to become his temporary navigator, taking her uncle Wright aboard as a cook 14.

Within five days, Hina began questioning his reputation as a bloodthirsty criminal. Cifer did not restrict her contact with the Marines, and she came to regard him as powerful, casual, and without ill intentions. During their travels, she continued communicating with Headquarters while becoming increasingly comfortable aboard his ship 15 18.

At his request, Hina designed the Little Ul’s first flag. Its white, horned mask bore dark green tear streaks and black wings; she added sunglasses over its eyes as her own contribution 18 19.

G-8, Jaya, and Skypiea

Hina arranged a visit to G-8’s Nabarro Fortress to collect a pirate bounty. There, Jessica warned her that she should leave Cifer’s ship once he became a Shichibukai. Hina insisted that she wanted to return to Marineford, although their growing friendship made the impending separation difficult 20.

She located Reksenor as a suitable battlefield for Cifer and Sakazuki. Afterward, the two men agreed that she could accompany Cifer to Jaya before being collected. Cifer extended that journey to the portion of Jaya in the sky, much to Hina’s surprise and delight 21 25 27.

On Skypiea, Hina defended Cifer’s strength when the Shandians doubted his ability to defeat Enel. She then defeated three high priests with her Cage ability and punched Enel using Armament Haki. She struggled against his lightning before Cifer intervened 30 31.

When Cifer again invited her to remain as his navigator, Hina could neither accept nor refuse. Her experiences had deepened her doubts about the government’s justice, but her family, friends, and teachers made abandoning her Marine life a difficult choice. Cifer promised to keep a navigator’s place available for her 33.

After two months together, Hina returned to the Marines near G-8. She embraced Cifer, thanked him, and kissed his cheek before leaving. Watching his ship depart, she resolved to become stronger before their next meeting 34.

Return to duty and undercover allegiance

Hina reunited with Cifer in Alabasta but declined to accompany him again. She felt her strength was stagnating in Paradise and wanted to improve fast enough to keep pace with him 86.

Over a year before her eventual return to Hachinosu, Hina decided to join Las Noches as part of the cooperation between Cifer and Sakazuki. Instead of immediately leaving the Marines, she stayed to handle matters that neither man could conveniently address in person and investigate the allegiances of senior Marine officers 286.

By the time she escorted Hibari to Las Noches, Hina held the Marine rank of Vice Admiral. After Hibari agreed to remain in exchange for help reversing her companions’ petrification, Hina revealed that she was Las Noches’ Ninth Division Captain. With the Navy’s factions identified and Ryokugyu dead, she considered her undercover work finished and planned to appear captured rather than return 285 286.

Hina subsequently sailed with Cifer toward Elbaf. Smoker intercepted the Little Ul to determine whether she was genuinely a hostage. Finding that she had willingly joined Las Noches, he departed without attempting to take her back 287.

Appearance

Hina has pink, later described as cherry-colored, hair. Her first appearance features a red suit and a Marine Justice cloak 14 285.

• Sunglasses — A recurring accessory that she also incorporated into Cifer’s original flag design 18 19 286 287.
• Cigarettes — Frequently smokes during conversations and confrontations 14 26 31 86.
• Lollipop — Holds one in her mouth when arriving at Rocky Port with Hibari 285.
• Civilian clothing — Changes out of her Marine uniform while visiting Kakaman Island 15.

Personality

Hina is protective of her subordinates and pragmatic about overwhelming danger. Her initial compliance with Cifer was not an acceptance of his authority: she surrendered because resisting could endanger everyone aboard her warship 14 18.

She commonly refers to herself in the third person, announcing that “Hina is angry,” “curious,” or “disappointed.” Her exchanges with Cifer become increasingly teasing and familiar, although she continues protesting when he treats her as a subordinate 18 26 31.

Her commitment to justice initially conflicts with her affection for Cifer. She recognizes the government’s darkness but worries whether following his very different path would allow her to uphold her own principles. Her eventual decision to join Las Noches includes practical undercover work rather than simply abandoning her responsibilities 33 286.
