Background / History

Gin was the combat commander of the Krieg Pirates, formerly described as the overlords of the East Blue before Arlong's rise. When the crew provoked Dracule Mihawk, Hawkeye pursued them for months and nearly annihilated their fleet. Don Krieg was killed, while Gin survived with a severe abdominal wound and hid aboard Natsuya's ship. 45

After revealing that he wanted revenge against Mihawk for Don Krieg's death, Gin asked Natsuya to take him in. He offered a direct bargain—“I can kill for you”—and was accepted for both his ruthlessness against enemies and his potential as a combatant. 46

On Sky Island, Natsuya gave Gin the Horse-Horse Fruit on the condition that he cooperate with potentially dangerous experiments. Gin accepted and became Natsuya's first successful test subject for temporary multi-fruit empowerment. 57 58

Appearance

Gin is a gaunt, gloomy-looking man in his twenties. When first found, he was blood-soaked and badly wounded, with a large slash across his abdomen. 45

• Blue-and-white striped bandana tied around his forehead. 45
• Lean build in human form. 45
• Horse-Horse Fruit hybrid form has white fur, a horse-like head, and hard hooves. 57
• Full horse form is a three-meter-tall white horse. 57
• Horse-Ape form becomes a five-meter-tall, white-skinned and golden-furred giant horse with ape-like physical traits. 58
• Ox-Horse form grows to five meters in hybrid form, developing darkened skin, heavy musculature, large curved horns, and bovine features. 161
• Fully activated Ox-Horse form is a ten-meter-tall horned behemoth with white fur, black skin, iron hooves, and an ox-like head. 161

Personality

Gin is intensely loyal to Don Krieg, continuing to pursue revenge against Mihawk even after the destruction of the Krieg Pirates. His ambition is not simply to have Mihawk defeated for him; he insists on personally overcoming the swordsman who killed his former captain. 46 200

He is ruthless toward enemies and explicitly offers himself as someone who can kill on Natsuya's behalf. At the same time, he is capable of gratitude and respect toward Natsuya, who provides him with medical treatment, power, and opportunities to grow. 46 67

Gin is determined in battle and accepts dangerous fights as steps toward his goal. He volunteers to face Ohm despite the possibility of dying, and later refuses Natsuya's offer to awaken his power after losing to Mihawk, choosing to improve through his own efforts. 60 200
