Blueno

Blueno is a member of CP0.

Prior to being instated into CP0, he was a member of CP9 who worked undercover as the bartender of a bar in Water 7. After CP9's defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates, he and the rest of CP9 were dismissed by Spandam. For unexplained reasons, he was later reinstated and promoted to CP0.

He was one of the major antagonists during the Water 7 Arc and a minor antagonist during the Enies Lobby Arc.

Appearance

He is a tall man with big lips, a black beard, and black hair in which his hairstyle resembles the horns of a bull. During his time as a bartender, he wore a black and yellow polka-dotted shirt with an apron over it. As a CP9 member, he wore a black two-piece suit with a white handkerchief in his breast pocket and a sweater undershirt.

During his contact with Robin in Water 7 and the attempts to assassinate Iceburg, he wore a checkered pattern cloak with necklaces of beads. Accompanying this costume, he wore two masks. First, he wore a mask with lipstick and markings that go over the eyes and down the cheeks. He then a sleepy smiling bear mask after the former was left in the Galley-La Company.

Personality

While the entire Water 7 CP9 unit gave the initial expression of emotionless, justice-devoted killing machines, Blueno is the only one to maintain such a facade; while the others—Kaku, Lucci, Kalifa, Jabra, Fukurou, and Kumadori—are shown taking pleasure in fighting, toying with their opponents, and so on, Blueno remains calm and collected nearly all the time, implying that this is his natural personality. As a result, Blueno comes to symbolize the cynical, evil actions of the World Government—namely using Nico Robin, by blackmailing her through traumas inflicted by the World Government in the first place.

Abilities and Powers

Blueno is highly intelligent and cunning, being able to maintain the disguise of a friendly bartender in Water 7 for approximately five years while simultaneously searching for the blueprints of the legendary Pluton vessel in the city, without attracting any suspicion or attention.

Physical Abilities

From intense training in the Rokushiki martial arts, Blueno has incredible superhuman physical strength with a 820 Doriki. He was easily able to overpower all of the Galley-La shipwrights who are highly skilled and powerful fighters. He was able to knock out Tilestone, a very large and strong man in one punch. With a single tug of a whip, Blueno was able to pull three train cars towards him with such force that they slammed together violently.

Devil Fruit

Blueno ate the Doa Doa no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which allows him to create and open doors on any surface, no matter how strong or thick said surface may be. His doors revert back to their original state after some time has passed; in his own words, "if a door is opened, it must close".

Rokushiki

Blueno's Tekkai seems to be the one of the more powerful of the group, and he was the first to reveal any variations of the move. While not a master at the level of Jabra, Blueno understands the physics of Tekkai well enough to develop variants such as "Rin" that allow him mobility in conjunction with Tekkai. In addition, he displays a level of tactical prowess, taking his time to determine how to minimize Luffy's increased speed.

Haki

Blueno possesses the ability to use Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki.
