Eldoraggo

Eldoraggo is the captain of the Eldoraggo Pirates and the main antagonist of the first One Piece movie.
==Appearance==
Eldoraggo is a dark skinned, red-haired man that resembles a cat or lion in appearance, as noted by Luffy. Because of his extensive love of gold, he wears shoulder pad armor made of gold, with a white shirt underneath; the armor was shattered in battle against Luffy. Additionally, he has hard and sharp golden nails over his normal ones, which can be used as weapons.

==Personality==
Eldoraggo is extremely greedy and obsessively loves gold to the point of affectionately rubbing his cheeks against it. To this end, he wore golden armor shoulder pads and sharp wear-on nails as part of his combat attire, as well as stubbornly refused to give up Woonan's treasure. His love for gold made him reject other treasures such as gems and diamonds.
==Abilities and Powers==
Eldorrago is one of the strongest pirates of the East Blue, being able to earn a bounty of 10,000,000. Any bounty over 10,000,000 is considered impressive in that region.
===Weapons===
As part of his obsessive love for gold, Eldoraggo's arsenal is made of golden alloy (as pure gold is soft and not suitable for taking or dealing damage). He wears golden armor for defense, which was strong enough to take several strikes from Luffy's rapid punches, though it was weakened from the collective strikes and ultimately shattered. This shocked Drago's subordinates, suggesting the armor had high durability.
For offense, Eldoraggo wears sharp nails made of hard gold that allow him to stab his opponents and pierce stone, though they were weak enough to be cut by Zoro.
===Devil Fruit===
Eldoraggo has eaten the Goe Goe no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants him the power to create a wave of sound that can cause explosive destruction when he yells, appearing similar to a laser beam. He can also control the intensity of the beam. Though powerful, the beam can be deflected, causing it to potentially backfire.
==History==
===East Blue Saga===
====One Piece: The Movie====
In his search for Woonan's gold, Eldoraggo tracked down and destroyed Woonan's crew, killing all members before claiming the map to the Gold Island and capturing Tobio, who was watching him. When his ship arrived in time to see the Hyena Three having trouble with Luffy, he fired a sound blast that scattered the Straw Hats. Eldoraggo then discussed Woonan's map after hearing complaints from the Hyena Three over his "vocal training", unaware that Nami had stowed away on board the ship.
Arriving at Gold Island, Eldoraggo and his crew capture Usopp, who tricks them into letting him see the map and promptly gives them bad directions. When they come upon the aftermath of a landslide, Eldoraggo pays Golass four gold coins to clear it and is elated after seeing Golass' work. Eldoraggo's pirates and Usopp eventually reach a castle where they figure out Usopp was lying, but Nami appears before they can harm him and tricks them into believing the treasure is under the castle. Though told it would take three days of digging, Eldoraggo asserts it would take ten seconds and begins bombarding the castle with sound blasts. He is eventually interrupted by a chained Luffy, who calls him a lion and a cat before properly introducing himself and Zoro, then claiming that Woonan may still be alive on the island. Eldoraggo scoffs at the idea before Tobio interjects, to which Eldoraggo responds by trying stab him with his gold nails but is stopped by Zoro. Zoro, fighting using only Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, is unable to reach Eldoraggo due to Luffy's leg getting stuck on a rock. When the rebound sends the chained duo flying, Eldoraggo is left confused until he realizes Usopp and Nami are missing.
Later, Eldoraggo and his crew climb the Gold Island Mountain and interrupt the Straw Hats' investigation of Woonan's hut by having Golass destroy it. He attacks Tobio but is intercepted by Ganzo, knocking away Ganzo's oden. Thinking there may be gold in the oden pot, Eldoraggo kicks it over at Tobio's protest and before he can use a more powerful attack, he is once again intercepted, this time by Luffy. After watching Luffy eat the spilled Oden, he signals Golass to attack, but is surprised to see him stopped by Zoro. Eldoraggo angrily tells Golass he would pay him increasing amounts of gold pieces during his fight with Zoro, and is surprised with the rest of his crew when Golass is quickly defeated.
With Golass unconscious, Eldoraggo has no choice but to fight Luffy himself and immediately attacks with one of his sound blasts. They have an intense battle that leads to Eldoraggo's prized gold armor being destroyed, enraging him to the point that he uses a sound blast that lasts for several seconds. Regaining his senses, he notices that Luffy actually caught the blast and bounced it back at him, driving him into the ground. Eldoraggo expresses his gold obsession one last time before being sent flying by Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Bazooka.
===Great Hidden Treasure of the Nanatsu Islands===
Some time after his defeat, Eldoraggo heard about a treasure on the Nanatsu Islands and made his way to the archipelago. However, after he arrived on Yo Island, he heard a rumor that the treasure was not gold, and lost interest in it. He then chose to rest in Yoban Town inside large house that had been converted into a warehouse by the Simon Pirates. While there, he encountered the Straw Hat Pirates and explained his reason for being on the island. After hearing his story, the Straw Hats chose to give him a lump of 24-karat gold they had taken from the Simon Pirates' fortress on Mu Island. Eldoraggo, not wanting to be indebted to the crew, made it an exchange and gave them a large thief's wallet in return.
==Translation and Dub Issues==
Older fan translations, as well as Manga Entertainment's official release of One Piece: The Movie, universally romanized his name as El Drago, presuming it was solely a reference to the English privateer Francis Drake (dubbed El Draco - "the Dragon" - by his Spanish victims for the viciousness of his raids). However, this was overwritten by One Piece: Stampede, which provided the in-universe romanization Eldoraggo, indicating his name is also meant to reference the mythical "golden city" of .
