Overview
Helmeppo is a character from ONE PIECE who serves as a Lieutenant Commander in Marine Headquarters. Originally the spoiled son of corrupt Captain Morgan of Marine Branch 153 in Shells Town, he initially abused his father's authority to bully locals. After his father's downfall, he enlisted in the Marines alongside Koby and underwent rigorous training under Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp. Now a dedicated officer and a member of the secret special force SWORD, he acts as Koby's dependable partner.
Appearance
Helmeppo features blonde hair, thick downward-slanted eyebrows, long lower eyelashes, and a prominent cleft chin. He initially had a wide bowl-cut hair style. Following his Marine training, his facial features hardened into a more rugged look, and he grew his hair long, wearing it slicked back with a portion bound in a half-up style. He also wears single-lens visor-style sunglasses, along with a hat, gloves, and a vest.
Personality
Initially arrogant and cowardly, Helmeppo used his father's status to intimidate others. However, after witnessing his father's coldhearted cruelty and parting ways with him, he matured into a responsible Marine. Even in his early days, he possessed a lingering sense of conscience, objecting to excessive violence against children. Though he retains a sarcastic and cynical edge when interacting with Koby, he deeply respects his partner and shares an unbreakable bond of friendship with him.
Abilities
Helmeppo is a skilled dual-wielding swordsman who fights using a pair of Kukri knives. Through hard physical training, he has mastered Rokushiki techniques, notably Sori for quick movement, and demonstrated aerial maneuvering akin to Geppo. He is also proficient in Armament Haki and possesses strong operational combat capability, including disabling enemy submarines and handling combat crises.
Background
Helmeppo grew up abusing his father's power in Shells Town until Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro exposed Captain Morgan's tyranny and brought him down. Reduced to a Marine chore boy alongside Koby, Helmeppo formally disowned his father during Morgan's escape and vowed to become stronger. Impressed by their resolve, Vice Admiral Garp brought both boys to Marine Headquarters, where Helmeppo endured grueling training, steadily rising through the ranks to Sergeant and eventually Lieutenant Commander.
Relationships
Helmeppo once relied on his father Morgan's power, but entirely severed ties after Morgan took him hostage during an escape, promising to arrest him personally one day. Koby is his closest friend and partner, with whom he shares an equal, trusting relationship despite differences in rank. Though he initially hated Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro for ruining his comfortable life, he later acknowledges their role in his growth and aims to apprehend them fairly. He holds deep respect for his mentor, Monkey D. Garp.
Trivia
Helmeppo is known for his distinct laugh, characterized as 'Hiehiehie.' His favorite foods are lavish steaks and caviar, while he dislikes sweet rice balls. His hobbies include fashion and trying out food at different eateries. His personal goals are to capture his fugitive father Morgan and eventually surpass him in rank and strength.
