The existence of the frontispiece series is big! ? Why Caribou Isn’t Just Just A Villain
In “ONE PIECE”, where unique characters appear one after another, there are characters who appear as enemies but are somehow popular with readers. Caribou, the captain of the Caribou Pirates, is one of them, and it seems that Caribou is often talked about among fans.
In fact, he has been associated with the Straw Hat Pirates for a long time, and recently reappeared in “Wano Country” and helped Luffy. Fans also seem to have no choice but to evaluate him, saying, “Despite the fact that he’s a good deal, he’s usually excellent at fighting” and “He’s crap, but he’s quick-witted.”

Caribou first appeared “two years later” in the Sabaody Archipelago as the pirate “Wet-Haired Caribou” with a bounty of 210 million berries. From the beginning, he shows a disappointing side, such as being tricked by the Fake Straw Hat Pirates into joining the group and being attacked by the navy. After that, in “Fishman Island”, he tried to crush the Straw Hat Pirates and kidnap mermaids from the inside, taking quite outrageous actions.
After losing to Luffy, he once disappeared from the magazine, but reappeared in the cover art series “Kehihihihi in the New World of Caribou”. The 46 episodes of the story of the old woman and the old woman are full of humanity, and there are quite a few fans who accept it favorably, saying, “It’s a good story in general,” and “I can’t hate it.” By the way, in the story of the frontispiece series, he was caught in contact with Drake, who belonged to the Beast Pirates at the time, which led to his re-appearance in “Wano Kuni”.
In addition, since Caribou often accompanies the Straw Hat Pirates, he knows that Shirahoshi is the ancient weapon “Poseidon” and that the ancient weapon “Pluton” is in “Wano Country”. Even though he is in a state of being deceived, he has heard about the “End of the Dream” that Luffy told his friends, and he knows quite a lot of secrets. For this reason, there are comments on the Internet such as “He knows too much information and is curious about his future” and “He will definitely become an important character”, and there are quite a few fans who cannot take their eyes off of him.
One of the charms of caribou is that there are still many mysteries that have not been clarified, even though it has been around for a long time. Every time Caribou learns about the Ancient Weapon, he mentions someone they call “that guy.” In “Fishman Island”, he even tried to kidnap Shirahoshi for “that person”.
On the Internet, there is a lot of discussion about who “that person” is, and attention has been focused on why caribou is trying to take in. “If you think of a power that is likely to be hostile to Luffy, it’s Blackbeard, isn’t it?” Not only weapons, but also a “mountain of treasure” was intended to be a gift, so if you think of someone who would be happy with that, wouldn’t it be Buggy?”
In addition, regarding the name Caribou, there is an opinion that “There is no reason why a man with a name related to the ‘Caribbean Sea’ in a pirate story is not an important character.” Caribou’s purpose and related people are likely to be an important mystery in “ONE PIECE” in the future. He is a popular character who can’t be hated, and attention is focused on what kind of role he will play, and whether he will eventually become Luffy’s enemy or ally.
