Background and History
Wyper leads the Shandia in their struggle to reclaim Shandora, their ancestral homeland. He is determined to defeat Enel, but distinguishes his immediate goal—taking back the land—from the older Shandian mission of lighting Shandora’s beacon and ringing the Golden Bell 117 118.
He first attacks the newly arrived Straw Hats, then fights Rubick after Rubick declares his intention to rule Sky Island. Wyper’s Impact Dial injures Rubick internally, but Rubick absorbs a second blast and defeats him. Wyper refuses to submit, insisting that the Shandia will not trade their freedom for their homeland 116 117 118.
After Enel’s defeat, Wyper chooses to recover and ring the Golden Bell rather than pursue revenge. He objects to sharing Shandora with the Skypieans, but the Shandian chief supports Rubick’s plan for a united Sky Country. Wyper subsequently serves in its government and forces 128 129 133.
Appearance
Wyper is a winged Shandian whose early encounters with the Straw Hats are marked by a distinctive mask and sky-based combat gear 105 118.
- Wears a square-faced mask and, on his first appearance, a skirt of leaves 105.
- Carries a cannon or rocket launcher and a shield 105 116.
- Uses Cloud Shoes that propel him rapidly across the ground 117.
Personality
Wyper is fiercely protective of Shandian independence. He attacks outsiders who threaten his homeland, resists Rubick even after losing to him, and initially prefers fighting to negotiating 116 118 129. His resolve also extends to his companions: when Robin restrains three wounded Shandia, he agrees to guide her to Shandora on the condition that they are not harmed 118.
He becomes more willing to work within Sky Country when his people have a clear place in it. Initially displeased that other officials control the military and public safety, he eagerly accepts command of a force drawn from his own group. He later presses Rubick to prioritize Haki training so the country can defend itself against hostile visitors 130 133.
Abilities & Skills
Dial Combat
- Impact Dial — releases a shock wave powerful enough to injure Rubick’s internal organs through Iron Body. Its recoil also cracks bones in Wyper’s hand 117.
- Reject Dial — carries one that is described as ten times more destructive than an Impact Dial; he intends it for Enel. The cited encounter does not show him using it 121.
- Other equipment — keeps Seastone hidden in his shoe as a contingency 121.
Haki and Physical Combat
- Learns Armament Haki under Rubick, then gains Observation Haki as well 137 196.
- Endures Rubick’s Black Hole with comparatively minor injuries and continues fighting despite the Impact Dial’s recoil 117.
- Trains against captured CP9 agents, defeats Kaku in a sparring match, and later spars with Lan Zhan 188 196.

- Impact Dial, Reject Dial, and concealed Seastone — weapons and contingencies used or carried during the Sky Island conflict 117 121.
Relationships
- Rubick — initially an enemy whose claim to rule Shandora Wyper rejects; later Wyper’s king and Haki instructor 117 118 133 137.
- Kapa — the Shandian chief, whose support for a united Sky Country restrains Wyper’s opposition 129 133.
- Foer (the old knight) — former leader of the opposing Skypieans. He urges Wyper to end their peoples’ four-hundred-year conflict 119 129.
