Biography
Bellamy (Japanese: ベラミー, Hepburn: Beramī)
Bellamy and his original crewmen were all born in the North Blue, specifically in the peaceful town of Notice. During their childhood, they heard the fairy tale Liar Noland and were often told by adults that if they lied a lot, they would be executed like Noland. Sometime in his youth, Bellamy tired of his 'boring' hometown, formed the Bellamy Pirates with Sarquiss as his right-hand man, and set out to sea. The crew approached the infamous pirate Donquixote Doflamingo and, after expressing their admiration, received permission to use the Donquixote Family's symbol; however, Doflamingo warned that defeat would not be tolerated. Bellamy swore that he would not lose to anyone. Bellamy enjoyed a meteoric rise on the Grand Line, earned a bounty of 55,000,000 Beli, for which he was known as 'the Big-Time Rookie'. Eventually, Bellamy and his crew landed on the island of Jaya, looking for more powerful pirates to recruit for the New Age. As a base of operations, they commandeered Mock Town's Tropical Hotel, intimidating its proprietor Spector into refusing all other guests.
Bellamy took well to Mock Town's lawless environment: on losing a game of cards to Roshio the Executioner at the Wild Cherry pub, Bellamy quickly accused him of cheating, and savagely attacked with knife, pistol, and a bottle of liquor that Sarquiss helped ignite. As the resulting blast flung Roshio out the window, Bellamy pursued and finished off the rival captain with his Spring Hopper technique. Later that day, Bellamy learned from Sarquiss that the Straw Hat Pirates, captained by 30,000,000 Beli bounty-head Monkey D. Luffy, had also arrived on Jaya. Intrigued, Bellamy found Luffy, Zoro and Nami at Terry's pub and struck up conversation, even treating Luffy to a meal. As the rest of his men gathered, Bellamy spontaneously smashed the younger pirate's head into the bar counter, meaning to test the Straw Hats' strength with a staged fight. Though Luffy and Zoro were ready to retaliate, Bellamy quickly lost interest on hearing of their search for Sky Island—one of the 'dream' treasures his crew so scorned. Leading the whole pub in mockery, Bellamy dismissed all such legends, including One Piece, as rumors and exaggerations unworthy of any "real" pirate. This in turn caused Luffy to lose any interest in Bellamy, and order Zoro to do the same. Not realizing that Luffy and Zoro had simply judged them beneath attention, the Bellamy Pirates attacked and humiliated the duo until an outraged Nami dragged them away.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Bellamy was a tall man with tan skin and short along with unkempt blond hair. As a pirate, he gained the reputation as Bellamy the Hyena (ハイエナのベラミー, Haiena no Beramī?). Whilst in service to Doflamingo, he came to be known as the Deadly Bullet of Dressrosa (ドレスローザの凶弾, Doresurōza no kyōdan?). He has a scar above his right eye and tattoos of eye-like designs on his arms. He has a trademark grin and sometimes sticks out his tongue in a taunting manner. After the timeskip, he grew in size dramatically where he now wore a pair of black sunglasses and bore two new scars, one across each side of his face.
At first, he was shown to be violent and conceited where he was very arrogant as well as highly confident in his own powers. He would only attack foes he thought he could win against.
Bellamy had greatly admired Donquixote Doflamingo since he was a kid. As captain of the Bellamy Pirates, he wasted little time in formally pledging loyalty to the Donquixote Pirates, gaining permission to use their Jolly Roger in tandem with their own as well as adopting Doflamingo's cynical philosophy. However, Doflamingo returned little—if any—of this respect. At the slightest news of weakness from Bellamy, Doflamingo personally rebuked him for 'dishonoring' the Donquixote flag, declared that he had no use for the crew, and promptly forced Bellamy and Sarquiss to fight to the death.
Powers and abilities
At some point, he came to acquire one of the legendary Devil Fruits (悪魔の実, Akuma no Mi). This was the Bane Bane no Mi (バネバネの実, Spring-Spring Fruit) that was a Paramecia (超人パラミシア系, Paramishia-kei) type Devil Fruit that turned Bellamy into a Spring Human (バネ人間, Bane Ningen?).
Among the techniques known to him included:
- Spring Snipe (スプリング狙撃スナイプ, Supuringu Sunaipu?, literally meaning "Spring Sniping") :
- Spring Hopper (スプリング跳人ホッパー, Supuringu Hoppā?, literally meaning "Spring Recoil Man") :
As a ship captain, he came to lead a crew of pirates called the Bellamy Pirates (ベラミー海賊団, Beramī Kaizokudan).
