## History

### Pre-West Blue Saga

Rocco parents were pirates who had just entered skypiea when his mother went into labor. Once Rocco was born he was left on the beaches of Skypiea and found by a 20 year old Gan Fall who had just become the God of skypiea. He then was raised as the child of the ground as if he was Gon Fall's own son. When he was 22 years old he had gone to Gan Fall and asked him he could leave Skypiea to find a journey for him self and Gon Fall agreed giving him the Snake Snake Fruit Model: Jungle God as a parting gift. He then took up the alias Rocco Gallo to hide his skypiean roots from others.

### West Blue Saga

Rocco was getting his suit sized when Salvatore told him about his defeat to the secret pirates and he killed him for his failure of that and failure to take down Bjorn.

Later he fought Sol Min and Jeeks after killing Lucciano where he managed to keep up with both of them until Sol Min's speed started to tire him out. As a last resort he went into his full beast form and attempted to drag Sol Min but he dodged out of the way just in time which made him trample Giovanni. Rocco was overwhelmed fighting all of the Secret Pirates except Jerry and he was killed by Sol Min using a strike so fast it didn't land until 4 seconds he had stopped.
