Makani

Makani is a pirate and first mate of the Azure Pirates. He was the second member of the crew and the first to join. He first met the captain Kite D. Drystan as an opponent, their first encounter being while Makani was acting as the ring leader of a bandit crew. Morally inclined to prevent him and his gang from wreaking havoc against civilians, Drystan challenged Makani to a duel. After his defeat, in order to avoid arrest, Makani agreed to suspend his life of banditry to join Drystan's crew.

Skilled in dual-wielding his signature twin hook swords, Makani is one of many who pursues the title of Greatest Swordsman in the World. He was inspired as a child after hearing the Legend of the Sword Saint from Wano Country. It is also Makani's goal to find the sword of this fabled individual and he intends to visit Wano Country in hopes of either doing so or at least learning of its whereabouts.
