Personality[]
Bloodlust.
Perhaps the most prominent trait found within Harlan is the immense anger that quickly bursts out when provoked even slightly.[20] The anger he displays is only augmented by the boys natural lust for violence,[21][22] always happy to find an excuse to fight others and destroy whatever area he may be in as a side effect. When locked in the heat of a battle, his eyes have a different look to them, eyes that wish to consume the battlefield whole, leaving him as the only one remaining. Such pure lust for violence is most likely some sort of carnal instinct, which has evolved and shifted into carnal intuition from the training he received from the Black Wolf. Despite this carnal lust dwelling within him, he still makes taunts and foolish remarks.[23]
Often dubbed as the stupidest person in the entirety of the Purgatory Pirate Alliance, it makes sense for Harlan to have some evidence to back this claim up. Harlan has more than enough evidence to prove so, simply listening to him talk is enough to make people contemplate why evolution ever happened.[24] Probably as a result of this trait, Harlan is immensely prideful,[25] always yelling “Booyah!” after winning a fight.
Harlan has also been noted to be a very difficult person to deal with, responding to people with heavy amounts of sarcasm.[26] No matter the situation, he jokes about, insulting his opponents statements or responding to a condescending statement with a sarcastic or sassy statement of his own. People have joked that Harlan will get himself killed, only because of his banter in battle.
Harlan may not display this trait of his often, but he is immensely protective. Those that shelter and take him in despite in faults, or those that fight alongside him, Harlan will stop at nothing to protect them. Even people that fight alongside him for the first time are privy to such protectiveness.[27] This protectiveness can also awaken something deep within him, that slight shred of maturity he possesses.
The boy’s willpower is powered by a two core things, to protect those he cares for, and to become the strongest. As seen with his protective nature, Harlan is more than willing to put his life on the line for people who have earned his respect or cared for him. And his ambition to become the strongest stems directly from that, he yearns for power so he can protect others. Despite his immaturity, he is perhaps one of the most caring pirates in the strangest way, willing to die for those he cares about.
Relationships[]
Family[]
- Lowell Harlee: Harley was the first person from his biological family that he met, engaging in combat with her and another Marine officer in combat at age 17. Despite being on opposing sides of the law, Harlan cares enough for her that he would defend her life. These feelings of affection are somewhat reciprocated, noted by how Harlee agrees to assist Harlan in freeing their eldest brother from captivity.
- Wolfgang: Having met Wolfgang at age 17, Harlan had heard of his fathers exploits before.[30] Upon meeting him, Harlan is put off by their strange introduction which involved his father stripteasing him.[31] Following this brief exchange, Harlan mocks and teases his father to which the Man-eater simply attempts to kill Harlan to which he almost succeeds.[32] Wolfgang eventually agrees to take Harlan onboard his ship until he wanted to leave; as a form of indirect training.[33] However, in 1579, it is revealed that despite their "distaste" for one another, they do actually care about each other. Wolfgang shows pride for his eldest son's achievements.[34]
- Ivailo Harisah: Harlan has never met his biological mother, and doesn't even know her by name.[35] However, Harisah has talked about her feelings towards her youngest son..[36]
Round Table Pirates[]

—An average conversation between Harlan and Miku. | ||
- Miku: There aren’t many individuals that could put up with Harlan. Most people find him absurdly annoying, and wish he was dead the second he opened his mouth. However, Miku is not only able to deal with Harlan’s shenanigans, she shares some of these characteristics. While not as stupid as Harlan is, the pair often discuss idiotic questions, and supports Harlan’s stupid decisions. They are often seen talking about whatever pops into mind, although Harlan often brings up weirder topics as he has no filter on what he says. Harlan thoroughly enjoys Miku’s company, and finds excuses to hang out and talk with her.

Pirate Sanctuary Alliance[]
- Elizabeth: Harlan and Elizabeth have a unique relationship. Soon after their first encounter, they broke out into combat, a fight which Harlan would have lost if he hadn't been able to use his Devil Fruit to scare her. During their fight, Elizabeth made some jokes at Harlan's expense, which Harlan retorted to with his own. After the conclusion of the fight, it is seen that the two do not fully despise each other, despite Harlan's consistent nagging that they do. They even make playful jokes with one another, although Harlan does have the tendency to overreact quite often.
