Background & Origin

Kuro was the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, a cunning and merciless pirate notorious enough to draw the Marines' constant attention.

Tired of being hunted, the brilliant Kuro engineered an elaborate plan: he faked his own execution and vanished, taking on the false identity of 'Klahadore', a gentle butler in a quiet seaside village.

Story & Growth

For three years Kuro served patiently as the butler of a wealthy, sickly young woman named Kaya, scheming to murder her and steal her fortune as the final step of his retirement.

His plot was undone when Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp uncovered it. In the battle that followed, Luffy defeated Kuro and shattered the careful plan he had spent years building.

Abilities & Powers

Kuro is no Devil Fruit user, but he is extraordinarily fast and a cold, calculating tactician.

He fights with a pair of gloves fitted with long, cat-like blades, and his signature technique lets him move so fast he becomes a blur — striking everything around him at random, friend and foe alike.
