## Personality

### Overview

Regnazo's most obivous character traits is his energetic and more positive attitude. He's a very social person when it comes to conversating even with strangers but, always talks with refined manners in pressence of people he respects/higher ups. When it comes to his crew he is very unselfish and will put their lives over his if the moment ever occured and supports their dreams 100%.

Even with his positive attitude, Regnazo's anger can be brought out very easily when seeing or hearing about certain topics. These topics include repeatedly talking down his crew, acting annoying continuously, hurting anyone or anything he cares about, and people not using common sense are the big things that set him off. For example, him seeing Lewis turn his ship which he considered his and his "real families" home, into jello put him into an extreme state of rage. In battle, Regnazo has learned to control his emotions and turn it into his strength but, has a harder time doing it out of battle or combat circumstances.

Regnazo has a shorter attention spam and needs to constantly be doing stuff to keep him from being bored. He loves fighting and it's one of his favorite activites to do, next to training with other people. Hanging out with friends or allies is also one of his favorite things to do. Since he's a people person he has gotten extremely good at reading people's moods and emotions and tries his best to treat them according to their mood.

After Ryner and Maka were forced to leave the crew, Regnazo has changed slightly after he became the new vice captain. He's become not as energetic and positive taking on a more serious outlook on their situations. In the Bluebell arc there's a scene where his self confidence issues are on full display and he struggles to deal with them. Wanting to live up to the vice captain Ryner was is the reasoning for this but, caused him to try to be more like him than himself. At the end of Bluebell it's shown he's becoming a bit more postive but anything can happen.

The Ultra-Luxe arc was the lowest point we've see Regnazo get to. His doubt in his abilites and strees of being the vice captain were on full blast and caused him to make mistakes that he still has in his mind to this day (doesn't help since he still sees his cut off pinkie finger every day). After the fight with Donald and talk with Kanno, Regnazo promised himself he would become a better vice captain and never make a mistake like he did aganist Donald again.

In the battle with Erebus and his role in the **"Dressrosa Arc"**, his insecurites started to go away and he started to prove to himself and his crew he can become a great vice captain. He also with his talk with before Impel Down Saro was able to seperate his two goals away from each other and mostly focus on one at a time.

Further on in the **"Yonko Year Saga"** he wrestled with his morality after the death of his ex crewmate Charles Broadback and killing the man who murdered him, the vice admiral Kuzan. After the Impel Down Raid, seeing Ryner's attitude for the marines, and how his own personal feelings. He was able to set his mind straight and decided he would never go out of his way to kill someone There will be circumstances in the future where he might end up killing someone again but, he shouldn't let it cloud his mind too heavily as well.

### Intelligence

Regnazo isn't the smartest or best strategist but he isn't a mental slouch either. When the situation calls for it he'll make some pretty smart ideas and step up if he needs to. For example, having to become the subsitue leader when Ryner was controlled in Razzland and leading Blu and Maka into eventually finding him. He also is very stragetic in battle considering lots of options before he makes his next move but, also depends on his reactions/instincts when it comes to making quick choices.

## Relationships

### Main Crew

#### Kanno Aaker

Kanno is captain of the **Fruit Punch Pirates** and someone Regnazo heavily respects for his power and mentality. Regnazo wants to better himself for his own goals, but also to be someone who can greatly support Kanno in becoming the Pirate King. While Regnazo thinks Kanno can be "cheesy" at times and usually points it out to him, Regnazo belives fully in Kanno's ability to become Pirate King and sees him as one of the best people he's ever met.

Kanno and Regnazo trust was put to the test after the **"Ultra Luxe Arc"**, Kanno felt disappointed in how Regnazo acted during Ultra Luxe and lost trust in him as well. Thankfully as they traveled and after his battle with Erebus and his role in Dressrosa, Kanno and Regnazo trust in each other grew greatly and their bond was reformed even stronger than before.

Regnazo also sees Kanno as rival when it comes to observation haki and enjoys sparring aganist him. While he has never wanted to all out fight Kanno like he has Ryner, he sees Kanno as a more compataible sparring partner and enjoys seeing the ways they have both improved throughout their journey.

#### Ryner D. Astrea

Ryner is the 2nd Commander of the **Fruit Punch Pirates**, and the older brother Regnazo never had. He looks up to him as he was always able to protect the crew, his effictiveness for dealing with enemies, and him always being there to support the crew. Regnazo does dislike how easy it is for Ryner to get mad espically since it usually causes him to make more rash decisons, which he's confronted him about in multiple instances. He stil does respect the fact Ryner mostly gets like this because he wants to protect the crew "his family".

When Ryner left the crew it hit Regnazo hard, with him seeing a main member of his family leaving to complete a "selfish" goal. He thought he left at first becuase he didn't feel the crew wasn't strong enough to help him. Overtime as Regnazo started to rapidly mature and when he had his talk with Ryner his negative thoughts about him leaving started to drift away and he understood Ryner's new short term goal.

After their intense spar during the **"War Training Arc"**, Regnazo and Ryner bond and respect for each other strengthed as they both saw how much the other has changed. In the Impel Down Raid, Regnazo started to see Ryner's negative personality traits emerge again and it caused him to doubt if Ryner has really changed as much as he let on. Regnazo still cares for Ryner in the end of the day and couldn't imagine traveling without him again.

#### Fortresst

Fortresst is the 3rd Commander of the **Fruit Punch Pirates**, and is someone Regnazo looks up to for his maturity and calmer mind. While Regnazo looked up to Ryner for his battle style and will, he looked to Fort for his strategic mind and his consistent skills.Fort always felt like someone Regnazo can count on to help him out in any situation and that hasn't changed to this day. Since Fortresst is usually pretty serious Regnazo does enjoy seeing him and Ryner bicker as it brings out Fortresst more "childish" side which is always pretty funny to watch.

Fortresst leaving was hard for Regnazo but he understood that someone had to help the kids on Razzlad and Fortresst was the best person for the job. With him gone and eventually Ryner in the Fishmen Island, Regnazo realized he had to become more mature to make up for them not being there.

Fortresst moral dileima with Ryner and eventually Kanno was something Regnazo didn't understand as much and was a part of his personality that he never really liked. During the **"War Training Arc"**, after hearing these talks so much he eventually talked with Fortresst about it himself convincing him to trust more in Kanno's judgement and coming back to help the crew. This talk helped show Fortresst how Regnazo has changed and because of that was able to help Regnazo through his emotions after killing Kuzan and losing Maka.

During and after the **"Yonko Year Saga"**, Regnazo seeing Fortresst fully commited to helping Fruit Punch made him happy. He's also proud to see Fortresst continuing his mentor role with Yada and hopes he can travel more with Fortresst again (even if he's stuck doing paperwork).

#### Blu

Blu is the Navigator of the **Fruit Punch Pirates**, and was Regnazo's best friend in the Grand Line and beginning New World. Blu was always pretty wacky and shared similar energy to Regnazo back in the Pre-Timeskip. Regnazo always enjoyed hanging with Blu and while he made mistakes, Regnazo alaways believed he had the ability to step up to the plate. While they never became sparring buddies since that was more Regnazo and Kanno, Blu was always there to help Regnazo with his problems or if he was feeling down.

After the **"Ultra Luxe Arc"**, Regnazo and Blu's relationship was the never the same. Regnazo after Ultra-Luxe tried and succeeded in becoming a more reliable person and vice captain, while Blu didn't really change much as all. Regnazo started to realize as they continued traveling that Blu's personality hasn't changed that much since Grand Line and he's started to get pretty stagnant in his power. After hearing what happened on Dressrosa with Shiro, Regnazo decided it's time to help Blu grow and bring back the bond that was starting to get lost between them.

In the **"War Training Arc"**, Regnazo sparred aganist Blu to help him discover his weaknesses and where he needs to improve. Even after the Sulong situation he still told Sophia that he trusted Blu could handle himself but, deep inside he wasn't fully confident in that statement. The group fight between them was fun but, Regnazo noticed Blu seemed very focus on taking him down which made him think if Blu cared about getting stronger mentally at all or just physcially. This was shown to him even more after his fight with Ryner where Regnazo gave his all to Blu's fight with Ryner, where he gave up once he got a crtical hit that didn't knock Ryner down causing him to lose some respect for Blu. The situation at the end of the **The Statement War** with Blu's (slight inner Blu influence) talk with crew about how he didn't feel free and felt too much like a "hero", and how he reacted to Maka's death made Regnaz question if he could even call Blu his best friend anymore. He felt the more he tried to help and trust Blu someone he saw as family, the more he felt betrayed when he acted the same if not worst after. When Blu was kicked off the crew after the Inner Blu situation, Regnazo supported the crew's decision that Blu needed to change before he could travel with them again.

After the Yonko Year, Regnazo when he met up with Fruit Punch before they left Doshisha he talked to Blu on the way back to the base. He felt that Blu was finally making effort to change to the best of his ability and felt he should be allowed to come back to the crew as Regnazo still cares for him a good amount. Blu still has a good amount of change to do before Regnazo can trust him again but, there is still hope.

#### Zhizhu D. Maka

Maka was the Inventor of the **Fruit Punch Pirates** and captain of the **Devil Mask Pirates**, and while Regnazo saw his faults, he was someone Regnazo always cared about. Regnazo's didn't fully believe in Maka being the "Smartest Man in the World" but, did see him as highly intelligent and thought his creations were cool. Regnazo enjoyed talking to Maka even though he was a bit of a loner and when he left the crew, Regnazo still regarded him as family.

Maka's death in the **"Saboady Panic Arc"** was a big hit to Regnazo's mental state. He hasn't seen Maka in person since he left the crew and once he came to save him, he arrived right as Maka met his demise. Regnazo promised to carry some of Maka's dream on his back and he will never forget him.

#### Benjamin Harlan

Benjamin Harlan is the 6th Commander of the **Fruit Punch Pirates**, and a great friend to Regnazo througout their time in the New World. These two have always had a good friendship with the only time it's diminished being Regnazo's mess up at Ultra-Luxe. They both have great mutal respect for each other with Regnazo respecting Ben's overall skills and kindness, and Ben respecting Regnazo's strength and willingness to put his life on the line to protect the crew.

Regnazo also sees Ben as a rival when it comes to skills outside of battle such as acrobatics, dancing, cooking, and etc. This is mainly because of Ben's insane natural talents thanks to his devil fruit the **Hito-Hito No MI** help fuel Regnazo's competitive nature and wanting to improve himself and even though Regnazo loses most of these "competitions" he enjoys doing them.

#### Teriyaka

Teriyaka joined Fruit Punch after the events of the **"Bluebell Arc"** and is the only kid member of the crew. Regnazo's relationship with her has never been anything extraordinary it has grown throughout there travels with him really enjoying the innocent, postive energy she gave the crew espically during the hard times. He was also a viable part in helping her grow, by teaching her basic martial arts and (along with the others) helping her gain confidence in her devil fruit abilites (**Kibo Kibo No Mi**).

Regnazo and the others were able help reunite Teriyaka with her sisters after the **"Impel Down Raid"** by going back to the Grand Line. This reuinon was bittersweet as Teriyaka knew she had to leave the crew and go back home to her family. Even though Regnazo misses her presence greatly he knows that she needed to go back to her family and is proud of how far she has come ever since the crew met her at **Bluebell Island.**

#### Johnson

Out of all the main crew members, Regnazo has interacted with Johnson the 4th Commander of the **Fruit Punch Pirates** the least. Even with there extremely few interactions, Regnazo still has big respect for Johnson helping them out in **Dressrosa** once he found out what Doflamingo was doing. He also thinks it's cool he fights with a suit and that he was childhood friends with Kanno.
