When he was preparing for the evolution, Little East Blue was attacked by the Amigo Pirates, who wanted to capture him as a gift for Shiki. He later dropped this idea after seeing Yoko's determination, yet challenged Boss to a fight after he became stronger, something he agreed to. Since then, Boss protected the island from the pirates.īefore finding out that Yoko was his owner, Luffy wanted to capture it and have it be their 10th member of his pirate crew. He lived in Little East Blue with Yoko, an orphan girl who found him in the forest some time after her father's death and got attached to the beetle seeing her lost father in him. He has an incredible stamina, which allowed him to resist to Franky's Coup de Vent and Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Bazooka without serious wounds, and Yoko said that he can heal quickly overnight underground by incubating.Īccording to the Amigo Pirates, he was a runaway from Shiki the Golden Lion, who had been creating an army of super animals to take over the world. He becomes stronger every time he grows up (once a month), making him a very powerful fighter, capable of emitting fire from his horn.

Unlike regular beetles, Boss continues to grow and to change shell even as an adult, this causing his unusual giant dimensions. His interactions with Luffy showed that he has a competitive personality as he expressed enthusiasm in fighting Luffy, refusing to yield in their fight, and having a rematch. He also has a very strong bond with Yoko, a young girl who lost her father to pirates. He is willing to protect Little East Blue and its inhabitants at any cost, even to the point where he tried to give himself up to the Amigo Pirates to spare everyone else. It was around this time that Yoko gave him his Marines marking, which Boss somehow manages to preserve after molting.īoss is a very brave and intelligent beetle. When he initially met Yoko, Boss was a lot smaller and had a shiny, caramel-colored body, before molting and growing larger. His tusks also became bigger and gained a second set of points, and now featured small openings in the front, from out of which he could breathe fire. He also bears the insignia of the Marines on his right side, which Yoko painted on his shell after befriending him. After molting, he grew in size, changed color into teal, and the fur behind his head became light green. Boss is a large, brown horned beetle with tusk-like pincers.
