Background / History

Beli grew up with Ryan at Carter’s orphanage in Mero Town. His parents named him after the world’s currency in the hope that he would someday possess great wealth. He and Ryan became best friends while living among the poorest commoners; at the time of the Marine recruitment announcement, Beli was nine years old while Ryan was eight 1.

Initially, Beli wanted to enlist in the Marines for regular food and wages. He instead accepted Ryan’s invitation to become his first crewmate, even though neither boy had money, a ship, or the strength to survive at sea 1.

Beli and Ryan were accepted as Scopper Gaban’s apprentices after Beli spent ten minutes desperately trying—and failing—to land a punch on Gaban. Gaban recognized Beli’s endurance and assigned him comprehensive physical and martial-arts training, while later promising to teach him his dual-axe techniques 2 3 5.

Appearance

Beli is a sturdy, green-haired boy. After one year of Gaban’s training, he had reached 155 centimeters in height at age nine 1 4.

• Green hair, which later earns him the “Green Light” designation 33
• Broad, sturdy build from extensive physical training 1 3
• Fights with a pair of axes 6 14
• Wore a green outfit for the Traffic Light Combination’s public debut 33

Personality

Beli is straightforward, enthusiastic, and initially naïve. His earliest ambitions center on food, money, and adventure, but he accepts Ryan’s dream without hesitation because he values their friendship and trusts Ryan’s leadership 1.

He is intensely loyal and protective. He worried for Ryan throughout the three days Ryan was unconscious after using Kamusari, immediately bringing him food and water when he awoke. Later, despite constantly arguing with Kid, Beli insists that Kid and Killer are crewmates worth rescuing and protects both boys in battle 3 13 14.

Beli is also compassionate. Before setting sail, he had saved 10 million Beli through pirate hunting but donated much of his earnings to an orphanage 6. His practical thinking can be unexpectedly sharp, as shown when he suggests using Fujitora’s power to bring Weatheria down to the crew rather than attempting to reach it themselves 37.

Abilities & Skills

Martial Arts and Dual-Axe Combat

Gaban identified martial arts as Beli’s greatest aptitude and trained him through a demanding full-body regimen before beginning to pass down his dual-axe techniques 3 5.

• Uses twin axes as his primary weapons 6 14
• Cleaved the Goth Kingdom’s seventh prince and his horse in half with one axe strike 13

• Shielded Kid, Killer, Lory, and Crocus from Ryan’s uncontrolled sword intent after Ryan’s Great Swordmaster breakthrough 20

Seamanship and Crew Support

• Personally trains Kid through harsh hand-to-hand sparring designed to provoke Kid’s competitive drive 16

Relationships

• Scopper Gaban — Mentor who recognized Beli’s martial talent, trained his body and fighting style, and began passing down his dual-axe techniques 3 5.
• Carter — Caretaker at the orphanage and a parental figure to Beli and Ryan. Beli feared disappointing him by becoming a pirate, but Carter ultimately accepted their choice 1 7.
• Eustass Kid — Crewmate and constant rival. Beli becomes unusually hot-tempered around Kid, though he still risks himself to rescue and protect him 10 13 14.
• Killer — Crewmate whom Beli protects alongside Kid during the Goth Kingdom conflict 14.
• Lory — Fellow crew member who joins Ryan and Beli after the Pino Pirates’ captives are rescued 8.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Training Under Gaban

Beli trains alongside Ryan for three years, developing from an enthusiastic orphanage child into a capable martial artist and dual-axe fighter. During this period, he is attacked by the Belis Pirates outside Life Tavern and is saved by Ryan and Shanks 4 5.

Departure and the Slave Ship

After Ryan defeats Gaban, Beli leaves Yunlai Town with him. He pilots their ship into its first pirate battle, helps free roughly one hundred captives from the Pino Pirates’ slave ship, and supports Ryan’s plan to expose the wider trafficking network 6 7.

Goth Kingdom Incident

Beli accompanies Ryan into the Goth Kingdom’s corrupt Marine branch and becomes one of the two pirates issued an unprecedented early bounty. He helps rescue Kid and Killer from the royal palace, kills the seventh prince, and protects the newer crew members against the Royal Guard 10 11 13 14.

Traffic Light Combination

Following Kid and Killer’s recruitment, Beli becomes the “Green Light” in the Traffic Light Combination. The trio publicly announces itself at Alabasta’s Peak Challenge in matching green, red, and yellow clothing 10 33.

Grand Line and Weatheria

Beli continues training as Ryan’s enemies grow stronger, particularly after the Alabasta conflict. At Weatheria, he provides the solution that allows Fujitora to lower the floating island safely enough for the crew to board it 37 41.

Trivia

• He calls himself Ryan’s vice-captain during his arguments with Kid 10.
• Despite his “Berserker” epithet, Beli donates much of his pirate-hunting income to an orphanage 6 12.
