Raptor D. Baron

Raptor D. Baron is the captain of the Titan pirates and one of the Yonko —four pirate emperors who rule over the second half of the Grand Line, the New World. A poised veteran of war, the many treacherous events over the course of his career have garnered him a colossal bounty currently worth 500,000,000, making him one of the most wanted men within the entire world. Raptor is well reputed for his mastery in close quarters combat, particularly in regards to the Six Powers, which he learned under the guidance of the Navy during his childhood years. He is feared throughout the seas for his seemingly limitless constraints of power and is the current holder of the title, "Greatest Martial Artist in the World".

Having sailed the ocean blue for the better part of the past two decades, it seems as though Raptor is a front runner for the title of "Pirate King", most nearly because of the large pool of warriors he has gathered under his arsenal. There are very few pirates in the world today who could claim to have as much knowledge as he, as he has traveled across the very depths of the Grand Line to the point where the amount of islands he has not yet visited can be counted on his fingertips.

He is a former member of the Shichibukai, a position he took up briefly upon the request of the Navy in order to flee from level six of Impel Down.
