Serizawa

Serizawa is a dyer and instructor who taught Bellamy in the cover page serial The Stories of the Self-Proclaimed Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

Appearance

Serizawa is an older man with a long, thin head. On his face, he notably possesses an extremely large and bushy white mustache which dwarfs his nose, mouth, and eyes, the latter of which are shrouded by a pair of glasses. He wears a light-colored pair of overalls over a dark long-sleeved shirt; the overalls have the kanji 染 (“dye”) written on the front. He also wears a tall and pointy hat which has a small generic Jolly Roger cloth hanging off of its side like a flag.

Personality

Serizawa appears to be a tough and hard-nosed instructor, as evidenced by the bumps he gave to Bellamy’s head while training the former pirate.

Abilities and Powers

Serizawa wields a bat-like club which he uses to reprimand his students by smacking them on the head.
