Johnny
Cuts all of a sudden invisible. Born player.
Pirate leader of the Jellyfish Pirates. He is a master of the Hirofumi sword style. He is a world-class outlaw, but he lives by the mantra “Help the weak and twist the strong”, which has made him popular with the masses.
Johnny is an easy-going guy who’s always ready to relax, but when the going gets tough, he’s definitely the man for the job. No matter how dire the situation, he never loses his cool and is often there to break up the tension with a clever joke. He rescues war orphan children (women only) and takes them aboard his ship. He loves the members of the Jellyfish Pirates like his own family and has often told them that he puts their safety before his own life.
