Background / History
Hina joins Rear Admiral Uchiha Qianyu’s crew at Rogue Town, leading five hundred elite soldiers from Navy Headquarters aboard his new warship. She shares his aim of purging evil, though she is initially reluctant to see the young Nami join a dangerous voyage through the Grand Line 292 293.
At Whiskey Peak, Hina helps expose and fight the Baroque Works members posing as bounty hunters. She later captures Miss Golden Week but spares her life because of her age 294 295 298. In Alabasta, Hina intervenes to protect Princess Vivi from Nico Robin and fights Robin while Nami accompanies Vivi to find King Cobra 304 305. Her contributions to the Alabasta campaign earn her a promotion from colonel to commodore 312.

Personality
Hina is strict with her Marines but protective of them. When members of the Franky Family injure her subordinates, she confronts their attackers and restrains two of them 331. She can also show mercy: rather than kill the young Miss Golden Week, she captures her for Navy custody 298.
She habitually refers to herself as “Hina” 292. Although she initially worries about Nami joining the Grand Line voyage, Nami’s navigation talent and warmth win her over, and the two become close 293.
