Charlotte Raisin

Charlotte Raisin

Charlotte Raisin is the 33rd son and 60th child of the Charlotte Family and an officer of the Big Mom Pirates. He was a member of Big Mom’s enraged army sent to fight Monkey D. Luffy, and later joined Charlotte Oven’s army to ambush Luffy on Cacao Island.

Appearance

Raisin is a very tall man, standing about as tall as his brother Yuen and towering over most of the soldiers on Cacao Island. He has long spiky white hair as well as a pink line that vertically ran down his face across each eye.

He wears a double-breasted white jacket, white pants, and a long purple that had pink epaulettes with a yellow border and tassels. He also wears grey gloves, a black belt with which he carries his sword, and brown boots.

When Raisin first appeared in the anime, his color scheme and design were slightly different. His hair was pale blond and the marks on his face were thinner.

While possessing a serious demeanor and usually sporting a stoic expression, he seems to enjoy fighting as he smiled when he prepared to attack Luffy with his sword.

History

Whole Cake Island Saga

Whole Cake Island Arc

Raisin joined Big Mom’s enraged army to avenge Cracker after he was defeated by Monkey D. Luffy. After Luffy and Nami were defeated, Raisin watched as Amande found Lola’s Vivre Card on Nami before the army headed back to Sweet City.

The next night, Raisin joined his siblings and Oven on Cacao Island in their plan to ambush the Straw Hat Pirates. He commented on the trouble of not having the Territorial Sea Slugs at their disposal. While waiting for Luffy, Raisin pondered on the course of action that Luffy would take. As the Straw Hats’ promised rendezvous time drew near, Raisin and his comrades prepared to ambush Luffy.

Luffy came out of the mirror along with Pekoms and the captured Charlotte Brûlée. Pekoms assisted Luffy in escaping, but when Luffy tried to jump over the town’s buildings, Raisin jumped up as well and prepared to attack him. However, he was kicked in the jaw by Sanji, sending him crashing into a building and causing him to lose his katana.

Wano Country Saga

Wano Country Arc

When Big Mom tried to infiltrate Wano Country, Raisin accompanied his mother and crew aboard the Queen Mama Chanter as they attempted to climb the waterfall into the country. However, just before they reached the top of the waterfall, King attacked the ship, causing the ship to fall off the waterfall and Big Mom to fall into the sea.

The crew later heard about Big Mom’s newly formed alliance with Kaidou. On the day of the Fire Festival, the Big Mom Pirates attempted to climb the waterfall again, but their ship was knocked down by Marco.
