Ikkaku

For the announcer from Wano, see Ikkaku (Wano).

Ikkaku is the only female member of the Heart Pirates.

Appearance

Ikkaku is a woman with curly dark brown hair and light brown eyes. She wears a yellow and orange hat. Like all the other members of the Heart Pirates, she also wears a boiler suit with the crew’s Jolly Roger imprinted on the left breast.

Personality

Along with Uni and Clione, Ikkaku was against the idea of allying with the Straw Hat Pirates, thinking of their assistance as worthless.

History

Past

A month before Trafalgar Law formed an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates, Ikkaku and the other Heart Pirates went to Zou and were left under the watch of Nekomamushi. Ikkaku, Uni, and Clione were against forming the alliance, but they were outvoted.

When the Beasts Pirates, led by Jack, invaded Zou in search for Raizo, the Heart Pirates fought alongside the Mink Tribe.

Whole Cake Island Saga

Zou Arc

After Law arrived at Zou around a week later, the Heart Pirates happily reunited with their captain when he came into the Whale Forest.

That night, the Heart Pirates briefly met and greeted Monkey D. Luffy before Law went to have a private conversation with the Straw Hats. The Guardians later threw a party for the Straw Hats that lasted throughout the night, and the Heart Pirates joined in.

The next day, the Heart Pirates, some of the Straw Hats, Kin’emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo prepared to depart Zou for Wano Country on the Polar Tang.

Wano Country Arc

The Heart Pirates later infiltrated Wano Country. After Law was captured to free Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin, the Heart Pirates gathered in Ebisu Town and discussed their captain’s situation.

On the day of the Fire Festival, the Heart Pirates entered the battle against the Beasts Pirates. After the guards at the torii gates were defeated by the Straw Hats, the Heart Pirates and the Scabbards (except Kin’emon and Denjiro) traversed to the back of Onigashima in the Polar Tang. When the submarine got close enough, it rose to the surface and Law teleported himself, Bepo, Shachi, Penguin, and the Scabbards with them to Onigashima’s back entrance. Once they left, the rest of the crew submerged back underwater.

After Kaidou knocked Luffy off of the floating island, the crew aboard the Polar Tang could hear Luffy’s voice and located him underwater. They brought him onto the submarine and pumped the water out of his stomach. Luffy eventually woke up and started demanding for meat.
