Background / History

Lory is a young woman from the Grand Line who is among the captives rescued from the Pino Pirates’ slave ship. After being freed, she approaches Ryan first and introduces herself while withholding the reason she had traveled to the South Blue. 8

Her knowledge of Grand Line destinations and navigation persuades Ryan to let her travel with him, despite his initial refusal because of her lack of combat strength. She guides the group to the Goth Kingdom after a seven-day voyage. 8

Lory remains with the crew through the Goth Kingdom incident and is astonished—but excited—to learn that Ryan has taken the king hostage. 15 During the voyage toward Reverse Mountain, she becomes the crew’s cook, although her food is widely regarded as terrible. 16

While traveling toward Jaya, Lory recognizes the floating island Weatheria as her home and stops Fujitora from lowering it far enough to rupture its supporting bubble. She reunites with her grandparents, Haredas and Lia, there. 37

Although initially uncertain whether to remain with the crew after returning home, Lory ultimately chooses to continue the adventure. Ryan formally welcomes her as an official member before the crew departs for Water 7. 38 43

Appearance

Lory is a petite teenage girl with a youthful appearance.

• Usually wears her hair in twin tails. 8
• Wears a pleated skirt. 8
• Has a notably small build, which Ryan repeatedly teases her about. 8 15

Personality

Lory is energetic, curious, and eager for adventure. Her enthusiastic descriptions of the Grand Line quickly inspire Ryan’s interest in traveling there, and she readily chooses the excitement of piracy over a quiet return home. 8 15

She is emotionally attached to Ryan and can become openly possessive when she thinks another woman is getting close to him. After Robin joins the crew, Lory repeatedly pulls Ryan away from her, partly from jealousy and partly because she suspects Robin may have hidden motives. 27 32

Despite her jealousy, Lory is caring toward the crew. She worries when Ryan and Beli enter danger, helps rescue Ryan from Shiki’s collapsing island, and remains loyal enough to leave Weatheria and continue sailing with the Ryan Pirates. 15 40 43
