Description

Personality

Bepo is a sensitive and somewhat meek polar bear mink, prone to depression and easily apologetic, particularly when his bear-like nature is pointed out. He's shown to be somewhat easily flustered and often worries about seemingly insignificant things. Despite this, he possesses a surprising strength of will, as demonstrated by his ability to withstand Silvers Rayleigh's Haki. He also displays a degree of loyalty and camaraderie towards his crewmates, though he sometimes acts in a subservient manner, particularly towards Jean Bart. His personality is a blend of gentle naiveté and surprising resilience. While generally portrayed as somewhat timid, Bepo's Sulong transformation reveals a hidden strength and ferocity, highlighting a capacity for fierce combat and unwavering loyalty to his captain. This transformation underscores a duality in his personality: a gentle, almost timid exterior masking a powerful and determined warrior within. His actions throughout the series, from his navigation skills to his willingness to fight alongside his crew, showcase a dedication to the Heart Pirates and their cause.

Abilities

Bepo's abilities stem from his Mink heritage and his role as the Heart Pirates' navigator. He possesses enhanced physical capabilities common to Minks, including exceptional strength, speed, and agility. His Sulong transformation, triggered by moonlight, drastically amplifies these attributes, making him a formidable combatant. He's also a skilled martial artist, capable of taking down multiple Marines with ease, though he's not strong enough to easily defeat a Pacifista. His enhanced hearing allows him to pinpoint distant sounds, such as a sniper's shot. He's a competent swimmer, capable of high speeds in the water. While his navigational skills are not on par with Nami's, he's proficient enough to chart courses and create maps. He also demonstrates a surprising level of resilience, withstanding a blast of Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki. Finally, he has access to a special drug developed by Chopper that allows him to activate his Sulong form at will, regardless of the moon's phase.
