Appearance

Hina is a tall, curvaceous Marine with pink hair, pale skin, and long legs. Her standard presentation combines a billowing Marine coat with a tailored purple suit. 1 2

• Usually carries cigarettes early in the story, later replaced with peach- and watermelon-flavored lollipops by Kane. 2 24
• Maintains a composed, proud expression even when emotionally flustered. 2
• Frequently stands with her hands on her hips while commanding her ship or confronting Kane. 4 17

Personality

Hina is disciplined, proud, and intensely professional. She takes her classified assignments seriously, conceals her warship before the Minion Island operation, and accepts responsibility for guarding high-value prisoners despite recognizing that she is less suited to direct combat than Kane and Cuckoo. 6 8 9

Her stern composure weakens around Kane. She is highly competitive with him, becomes flustered by his proximity and concern for her health, and reacts jealously when other women seek his attention. 2 5 24 40 Beneath this insecurity is a strong desire to prove her worth; after Tsuru orders Kane to handle an attack, Hina privately worries that he may think she is useless. 17

Hina also shows quiet thoughtfulness. She agrees to help Kane protect Baby-5, monitors the suspicious Monet at his request, keeps watch over the Marine camp, and grows visibly happy over small gestures such as shared coffee and lollipops. 15 24 43

Abilities & Skills

Barrier-Barrier Fruit

Hina's Devil Fruit lets her pass her limbs through a target and generate iron-bar restraints around whatever they pass through. 2

• Can immobilize people by forming iron rings and cages around their bodies. 2
• Successfully restrains Kujaku when she causes trouble aboard Hina's ship. 33
• Her restraints are extremely durable, but sufficiently powerful Armament Haki and physical strength can break them. 2
• Her restraint-focused power makes her well suited to guarding prisoners and securing captured enemies. 8 9 14

Armament Haki

Hina can reinforce her strikes with Armament Haki. 1

• Meets Kane's hardened palm with an Armament Haki-enhanced punch during their first on-page clash. 1
• Her rapid improvement surprises Kane, who notes that she did not yet possess Haki during their earlier encounter. 2

Naval Combat

Hina specializes in ship-to-ship warfare and artillery tactics. Tsuru appears to value her escort vessel in part because of this aptitude. 17

• Commands her warship during dangerous crossings, operations, and pirate engagements. 3 6
• Uses custom Black Spears as naval artillery. 21
• Improves her accuracy through repeated live battles, reaching twelve hits from twenty shots in one engagement. 21
• Coordinates with Kane by letting him cripple enemy vessels before she bombards them. 21 35

Equipment

• Black Spears — Heavy iron projectiles used for Hina's developing naval-bombardment style. 21
• Lollipops — Peach lollipops initially replace her cigarettes; she later receives watermelon-flavored ones from Kane. 2 24 43

Relationships

• Kane — Fellow Marine officer, mission partner, and frequent sparring rival. His concern over her smoking, repeated teasing, and personal gifts steadily deepen Hina's attachment, though she often hides it behind irritation or professionalism. 1 2 17 46
• Vice Admiral Tsuru — Superior officer who includes Hina in the classified North Blue operation and later relies on her escort vessel during the secret transfer of Doflamingo's group. 2 17
• Cuckoo — Fellow member of Tsuru's force and Kane's combat partner. Hina is irritated by Cuckoo's closeness with Kane but works alongside her during the Minion Island operation. 5 6 40
• Nico Robin — Kane's disguised aide, “Carina.” Hina initially comments on Robin's clinginess toward Kane and later reacts to the attention Robin receives from him with jealousy. 3 40
• Baby-5 — A child Kane calls his “new family.” Hina agrees to help protect her and is assigned to keep her safe during combat. 15 17
• Monet — A rescued “prisoner” whom Hina correctly considers suspicious. Kane entrusts Hina with monitoring her aboard the warship. 24
• Kujaku — Tsuru's granddaughter. Hina becomes annoyed by Kujaku's physical clinginess toward Kane and later restrains her with iron bars for causing trouble aboard the ship. 31 33

Story Role / Major Arcs

North Blue Operation

Hina arrives to collect Kane after his transfer is approved and informs him that Zephyr and Tsuru have selected him for a classified North Blue mission. She accompanies him because her newly acquired Barrier-Barrier Fruit is expected to be valuable to the operation. 2

On Minion Island, Hina helps Kane and Cuckoo investigate the missing Op-Op Fruit. Though nervous during her first major covert operation, she follows Kane's direction, hides the warship, and later guards Vergo, Rosinante, and Law in a concealed cellar while Kane and Cuckoo confront Doflamingo's forces. 6 7 8 9

Doflamingo's Capture and Escort

After Tsuru's reinforcements arrive, Hina guards the captured Trebol and assists in securing Doflamingo's defeated officers. 14 She then remains with Tsuru's fleet when ordered to escort Doflamingo's group toward Impel Down instead of returning to Marine Headquarters. 17

During the voyage, she develops her Black Spear tactics against successive pirate crews and helps Kane handle threats while the fleet travels without resupplying. 21 22

Red Port and Mary Geoise Approach

Hina navigates the force toward Red Port using Log Poses supplied by Kujaku and remains part of the group escorting Doflamingo across the Red Line. 31 40 While traveling overland, she takes night watch seriously, shares a quiet campfire watch with Kane, and later impulsively gives him her lollipop, raising her favorability enough for him to strengthen his copied Barrier-Barrier Fruit. 43 46

Notable Quotes

“Hina simply doesn't want him to think... Hina is useless.” 17

Trivia
