Ambrosé Edesia

"For a long time, food had always satisfied people around me. Whenever I see someone eating, I can tell they're truly enjoying every bite for whatever reason — giving them a unique form of comfort. Food always reminds a person certain aspects of their life. The subject "favorite foods" always comes up whenever a person looks at a plate or a crumb in front of them. The reason why I became a cook is to spread that joy and give other a memory that they could be fond of. My cooking brings smiles to many faces, and for me, that's more than enough. Even if I die, I'll know that my food made an impact on someone's life, giving them a fond memory which they can look back on."

Edesia Ambrosé (エデシア·アンブロセ, Edeshia Anburoze), nicknamed Eden (エデン, Eden) for simplicity's sake by her crewmates and others close to her, is a well-known, , and a member of the Black Widow Pirates — part of the Shichifukujin, the third-highest tier of the crew, who act as governors over different aspects according to their captain's design. Ruling over a Wano province as the "Minister of Food", she's given the title Daikokuten (大黒天, lit. "Great Black Heavens") to cement her position.

Traveling the world for more than a century, she's cooked for many citizens — rich and poor, in hopes of spreading the joys of cooking and eating; she's later scouted by the World Government, offering her a position in ' kitchen in exchange for fulfilling her desires. Staying there for a few decades, she grew tired of the ' reckless decadence and left under the form of "retirement".

By destiny's hand or through mere coincidence, she met Daddy L. Legs and eventually joined her crew; her culinary skilled known internationally, she's hailed as the "Elderly Queen of Cooking" (老后の炊事, Rōkō no Suiji) — denoting to her mastery of various culinary methods, which are skillfully used inside and outside of battle, as well as capable of cooking any dish with little to no difficulty — something she prides herself in, being her life's work.

Appearance
Edesia is a woman who's known for being rather humble and kind yet strict individual, similar to an old-fashioned mother caring for her children; this is exhibited through her appearance and mannerisms. Though she's a, thanks to the effects of her cooking, she's still human thus subjected to senescence, like any other person.

As an elderly woman, she's shorter than those around her — possibly the shortest of everyone in the crew; typically, her skin is wrinkled and her hair color has dulled over time, despite no gray hairs being evident. She's also has a hunched back, which straightens every time she enters battle — proving to have no adverse effects on her performance; Edesia owes this to eating her enhanced-cooking and exercising under extreme conditions, getting her body to function in the way she wants despite aging being a factor. Having slanted and closed eyes, which opens whenever she gets serious or is angered, she has a bulbous and soft face — exuding a grandmotherly aura. Having pink knot-tied hair, she's usually seen with a smile on her face.

Her clothing is rather stereotypical, denoting to her grandmotherly status, despite being in a high position of power; in fact, most wouldn't know her status in Wano or her affiliation with the Black Widows from first glance until she exudes an iota of her power and authority. Her casual clothes consists of a pink sweater with orange pants, a white apron, and pink sandals with hearts on them; however, she wears the standard attire of a chef whenever she's in the kitchen preparing a large meal, and seen in various other outfits whenever she travels to certain places outside of Wano — typically for health and occasional reasons.

Equipment
Ganglari (, lit. "Lustrous Culinary Proliferation"): Edesia signature knife that she's wielded for the last 75 years, it's something wondrous for both its appearance and power — despite looking like a mere kitchen tool; taking the form of a moderately long and beautiful kitchen knife, it possesses a pink lustrous shine and fits easily in one's hand. Its handle also shines with equal luster and appears to be made out of some sort of well crafted pink stone-like material. According to Edesia, she's used this blade for both battle and culinary due to it wielding absurd sharpness; she notes that the blade never dulled or cracked the moment it came into her possession, qualities that served her well when she faced and disarmed a wide variety of armed opponents over her lifetime. It's assumed that the knife itself is a Meitō and on-par with one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords due to its qualities, though it hasn't been confirmed. Under Edesia's usage, great things have been accomplished with the knife that would easily make her a combatant to be feared.

Staff: Edesia is always seen with a walking staff she uses to "support" herself, said to be a gift from her deceased husband; made form a durable wood that can withstand large amounts of damage, it has an ornate appaearance and is said to be highly valued. She commonly uses this stick to fend off her adversaries when she doesn't feel like using Ganglari.

Quotes

 * (To her crewmates) "Go ahead, dear children. Have your fill and eat properly. We have much work ahead of us! Wano isn't going to run itself, y'know! Hehehehe."
 * (Edesia about the ingredients she uses) "I can hear them, the "voice" of these ingredients. When I answer their calls, my cooking will reach its peak and dishes of unimaginable tastes will be born."
 * (About her captain) "She's still wet behind the ears in a few places, but our Captain is an excellent leader. She's like the daughter that I'll always be proud of, no matter how many times she's screwed up; it's because I know, every day she tries her best for the people she cares about."
 * (Her hatred for the World Nobles) "Such slovenly creatures; in all my life, never have I met such entitled uncivilized and ignorant brats. They're worse than toddlers, even though they're fully grown! It doesn't matter what their origins are, they're human in the end! Do they think they will live forever?! If so, I hope someone snaps them out of such a foolish notion. If push comes to shove, they will be the ONLY people I will never serve food to. Even a stray animal knows the graciousness of having food placed in front of them, something they lack in my years of slaving away in Mariejois' kitchen."
 * (Signature Catchphrase) "It's (insert meal time here), and you're on the menu. I wonder how you'll taste under the influence of my culinary skills?"
 * (Contemplation on her life thus far) "All I've done is feed people who couldn't feed themselves; while that has brought me great joy, my cooking often brought about my demise. I lost many loved ones because of my cooking, rather... the lack of. Not to mention my skills being wasted on those who don't fully appreciate what it means to eat. Regardless, I feel like things happen for a reason."
