Whisper O. Dare

Whisper O. Dare is a pirate hailing from the West Blue and the captain of the Animalia Pirates. He’s currently sailing the in Paradise with the ultimate goal of arriving at Gerong Island and Zou to subjugate the populace.

Appearance
Dare is a pale-skinned individual with pale orange eyes and unkempt, black hair. He possesses a lean build, but no considerable muscle, and a scar on his right cheek and across his left eye. He generally dresses in a black trench coat with a red cloth tied around his left arm, fingerless gloves, black pants, and black boots. He carries around a dark-brown satchel, which he carries animal treats inside. He does to wear a shirt underneath his coat.

Powers and Abilities
As the captain of the Animalia Pirates, Dare possesses ultimate authority within the crew.

Devil Fruit
Dare ate the Hiso Hiso no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which grants him the ability to telepathically or verbally communicate with animals, thus allowing him to collect useful information.

Dare is also an Awakened Devil Fruit user, allowing him not only communicate with, but also dominate the wills of the animals he speaks to, forcing them to obey his commands. Not only does his ability influence normal animals, but it also affects SMILE users. Dare generally uses the powers of his crew mates and subordinate animals to make up for his own meager fighting ability.

Dare’s control over animals is not absolute, however, as those whose control supersedes his own will, such as the Ancient Weapon Poseidon (which controls Sea Kings) or Haoshoku Haki.
