Background / History

Marine Academy

Hina enters the Marine Academy’s regular class alongside Ye Chen, Smoker, Vergo, Shu, and Very Good. Her Devil Fruit makes her one of the cadets singled out by Zephyr, although she initially withstands his pressure less effectively than Ye Chen, Smoker, and Vergo 8.

She participates in the group’s independent training and ranks herself fourth in overall strength, behind Ye Chen, Vergo, and Smoker. During joint training, she befriends Gion, who is one or two years older and welcomes another girl into the otherwise male-dominated group 15.

Their friendship develops into a sister-like bond. Shopping trips with Gion become a regular activity, often involving Shu, Very Good, and Smoker; Hina grows annoyed when Ye Chen and Vergo refuse to interrupt their training to join them 20.

At the academy’s ranking competition, Hina draws Momonga as her opponent. She rejects his suggestion that she surrender because he does not want to fight a woman. Their opening exchanges are evenly matched, but she begins losing ground after roughly seventy or eighty exchanges. Tsuru praises her performance 35.

Attachment to Ye Chen

After Ye Chen receives his Rear Admiral villa, Hina treats it as a shared gathering place and organizes a barbecue despite his objections. She subsequently occupies its third floor and worries that he will leave Marineford as Smoker and Vergo already have 46 47.

Hina struggles to explain that Ye Chen’s presence means something different to her than the company of their other friends. His practical advice fails to address her feelings, and she calls him an “idiot” before running away. He leaves the following morning without a personal farewell 47.

She continues living in his villa during his absence. When he returns injured and loses sight in his left eye, she cries repeatedly, then helps prepare another barbecue with Shu and Very Good 63.

Her attempts to become closer grow increasingly direct. She seeks physical affection, dresses to attract his attention, and tries to persuade him to take her along on his travels. Ye Chen initially refuses, telling her to gain experience and achievements independently 65 77.

Officer Career and Marriage

Hina becomes a Colonel and later a Rear Admiral, undertaking missions away from Marineford. During Ye Chen’s two-year disappearance, she visits Vergo’s Marine branch; when Ye Chen finally returns, she embraces him and refuses to release his arm 77 78 84 142.

Their relationship is confirmed before the Gasparde mission. Ye Chen spends so much time with her that Bai Doudou temporarily moves to Gion’s home to escape their intimacy. Hina accompanies Ye Chen on Fire, distributes Vivre Cards, and treats the journey as a honeymoon 169.

After Gasparde’s capture, their honeymoon continues for two months, ending only when Sengoku summons Ye Chen back. Hina later joins the Seven Warlords recruitment mission, visiting Sabaody, Fish-Man Island, and the vicinity of Amazon Lily with him 170 174 175 180.

Pregnancy and Death

Hina announces her pregnancy with tears of happiness, telling Ye Chen that they have a baby. Gion helps care for her and relays the doctor’s advice about food and rest 185 186.

During the pregnancy, Hina insists on leaving Marineford. Ye Chen eventually accommodates her wishes, and they spend peaceful days on Cherry Blossom Island. She dances beneath the blossoms and tells him that she enjoys performing for him 187.

That peace ends when Sakazuki arrives with Marines who regard Ye Chen as a traitor. Bai Doudou stays behind to cover Hina’s escape and orders Fire to carry her away 191.

Chaton and the pursuing officers catch Hina. Already disfigured and suffering abdominal pain, she resists while protecting her unborn child, but three Vice Admirals and several Rear Admirals quickly overwhelm her. Her death is confirmed afterward; Smoker explicitly holds Sakazuki responsible for forcing her into the fatal situation 192 194 211.

Bai Doudou witnesses her death and removes Sakura from her abdomen, saving the child. Sakura is subsequently kept in a nutrient pod, while Hina’s body is frozen pending Ye Chen’s return 194 208.

Posthumous Influence

Hina’s death destroys the unity of the academy friends. Smoker condemns Sakazuki and confronts Shu and Very Good for blaming Ye Chen while ignoring the officers responsible. Vergo supports him, and their former friendship group finally breaks apart 211.

Ye Chen vows to make the Marines accompany Hina in death. During the later war at Marineford, he tortures and kills Sakazuki in retaliation for her suffering 208 372.

Her preserved body remains in a secret chamber. Sakura accidentally discovers it, learning the truth that Ye Chen had concealed from her. Finding Sakura’s birthday ring there, Ye Chen realizes that the secret is exposed and speaks to Hina’s body about his guilt and inability to protect his loved ones 384.

Smoker and Gion later tell Sakura about her parents’ academy days and relationship, preserving Hina’s memory through their shared history 441.

Personality

Her pride also appears in training and combat. She dislikes falling behind, challenges Shu’s doubts about graduation, and refuses Momonga’s offer of surrender rather than accept what she considers condescension 18 32 35.

Hina is openly loyal and affectionate. She cheers Smoker through a megaphone without concern for her image, worries deeply over Ye Chen’s injuries, and persistently pursues a closer relationship despite his emotional reserve 39 63 101. Once they become a couple, her affection is expressed through cooking, attentive care, and playful companionship 168 174 175.
