One Piece

A young male human with bright, colorful clothing adorned with sequins and feathers, embodying the spirit of a performer. He has a lean build, with short, spiky hair dyed in vibrant hues. His expressive eyes often sparkle with mischief, and he carries a playful demeanor, though a hint of sadness lingers beneath the surface.

Grellon presented himself as flamboyant and giddy, often using humor and over-the-top theatrics to mask his fear. He played the role of the inept sidekick to Miss Wednesday, using his acrobatic abilities in ways that were more showy than effective. However, under his jesting nature, there was always a simmering unease. He didn’t believe in Baroque Works’ cause — he only believed in finding a way out. In his final moments, Grellon revealed his true vulnerability, offering a heartfelt apology, showing that he cared deeply for those around him.

Grellon Barne, better known as Mr. 9, was once a vibrant performer in the West Blue, known for his acrobatic skills and colorful presence in small street festivals. Grellon’s passion for performance often hid his fear of failure and his deep self-doubt. Despite his cheerful exterior, Grellon was a man running from a past marked by poverty and a failed attempt at becoming an entertainer. When he was approached by Baroque Works, Grellon saw it as an opportunity to live a better life, though deep down, he wasn’t truly loyal to the organization. He was simply trying to survive, always a step behind the maniacal plans of Crocodile, yet always dutiful enough to follow orders. In his final moments, Grellon revealed his true vulnerability. After being defeated by Usopp inside Laboon, he offered a simple, heartfelt apology. “I just… didn’t want her to go alone.” His death wasn’t one of fighting bravado, but of quiet resignation — the kind that came from a life of never truly living for himself
