Background / History

Meeting Luo Sa

Hina meets Luo Sa during the Monster Island survival trial. Finding him unconscious at the foot of a mountain after his fall, she shakes him awake and checks his condition. He recognizes her despite her having no memory of meeting him. When a berserk Brown-backed Giant Ape approaches, Luo Sa pushes her aside and kills it with a single attack 15.

They meet again at Marine Headquarters after accidentally colliding. Hina reminds him that she saved him and asks how he intends to repay her. He agrees to a reasonable request, and she takes him by the hand to a grilled-meat restaurant in the nearby town 18.

Couples’ Tournament and Recruit Assessment

After their outing, Hina asks Luo Sa to pretend to be her boyfriend for a Love Festival party. Its couples’ challenge offers a Devil Fruit as the first-place prize, but both partners must enter together. Luo Sa agrees, defeats Bellamy during the competition, and gives the Kankan Fruit to Hina 19 20 21.

Hina subsequently visits Luo Sa’s courtyard for advice on developing her new ability. Her goal in the recruit Ranking Tournament is the top twenty, which would qualify her as an Elite Camp apprentice. After her own eventual defeat, she helps Luo Sa analyze the remaining matches and worries about his upcoming confrontation with Smoker 23 27.

West Blue Operations

During the Elite Camp’s mission against the West Blue Mafia, Hina rejects the unwanted advances of senior recruit Sok. When he belittles Luo Sa, she links arms with Luo Sa and openly takes his side, later apologizing for drawing him into the dispute 36.

After the operation, Hina defends the recruits’ concern for Luo Sa against Senior Yukus. Luo Sa gives her documents carried by Cas, which she submits for military merit. The intelligence identifies the Mafia’s underground gray trading network and leads to a follow-up mission 43 44.

Now a formal Elite Camp member, Hina chooses to remain in the West Blue and invites Luo Sa to join the operation, worth 5,000 military merit points. She also proposes recruiting Drake, Smoker, and Sakartam. Because Sakartam previously saved her life, she hopes the shared mission will ease his hostility with Luo Sa 44.

When Luo Sa later suspects Sakartam during the Twin Sword Pirates incident, Hina explains that Vice Captain Rujeni supplied the false intelligence. Sakartam killed Rujeni while trying to reach Luo Sa, and evidence of Rujeni’s collusion with the pirates could help secure his pardon. Her explanation prevents the confrontation from escalating 53.

Recognizing Luo Sa After Three Years

Three years later, Hina joins Smoker and Drake in confronting the Windmill Pirates, choosing Luffy as her opponent. Luo Sa intervenes with a changed appearance, incapacitates the surrounding Marines, and overwhelms Drake 185 186.

Hina recognizes Luo Sa through his eyes rather than his face. The familiar look brings her to tears, and she insists that altered appearances can be exposed through Marine technology. Despite Smoker’s doubts about their ability to capture him, she resolves to train until she can 186.

She accompanies Vice Admiral Momonga in the subsequent pursuit and recommends waiting for their instructor before confronting the unidentified man. Seeing Luo Sa use wind, fire, and lightning strengthens her conviction that he is their former comrade 195 196.

At Luo Sa’s urgent request, Hina calls their instructor’s Den Den Mushi and receives a recruit’s cry for help. Luo Sa immediately leaves to intervene. His willingness to rescue the instructor finally confirms his identity for her 197.

Ace’s Execution

During preparations for Ace’s execution, Hina stands with Smoker and Drake in the Marine officer district. They lament Luo Sa’s defection and Aokiji’s defeat, believing that the Marines could have dominated the sea had both remained on their side 225.

Appearance

• Long pink hair, noted when she first finds Luo Sa on Monster Island 15.
• White dress, worn during the evening when she asks him to pose as her boyfriend 19.
• Frequently blushes during awkward or suggestive exchanges with Luo Sa 18 19 27.

Personality

Hina is caring and direct when someone needs help: she checks on the unconscious Luo Sa and later defends her fellow recruits against unreasonable criticism. Around Luo Sa personally, however, she can become shy, stammering while asking him to pose as her boyfriend and hastily clarifying her request 15 19 43.

She values cooperation and tries to reconcile teammates rather than deepen their disputes. Her gratitude toward Sakartam for saving her life motivates her efforts to improve his relationship with Luo Sa. She also explains the circumstances of Sakartam’s intervention when Luo Sa becomes suspicious of him 44 53.

Her attachment to Luo Sa persists after his disappearance and defection. Recognizing his eyes after three years brings her to tears, but she channels that emotion into a determination to train and capture him. Her affection does not erase her regret over his departure from the Marines 186 225.
