Lao G

**Lao G**[4] is an officer of the Donquixote Pirates' Diamante Army and a major antagonist in the Dressrosa Arc.[5]

He is the oldest member among the officers. Though he exhibits and experiences many frailties from becoming elderly that would suggest his vitality is dwindling, he is still a highly adept fighter.

## Appearance

Lao G is old and rather short. He is bald with veins protruding from his head. He has a beard and wrinkled skin. In his appearances, his eyes have been shadowed out, as they are extremely squinted. His mouth is also shadowed, suggesting that he doesn't have any teeth despite being able to speak and eat.

He wears a blue jumpsuit with an white arrow pointing upwards with two blue lightning bolt-like shapes pointing towards his shoulders. The jumpsuit has a belt with the letter "G" on the buckle. He also wears white gloves and boots.[1][6][7] He wears red tights under his jumpsuit, with blue arrows pointing downward on his legs.

As a child, Lao G had a curly patch of hair on his forehead with the front curl resembling a G. He wore a shirt with an arrow pointing upwards that had a "G" on it, a sash around his waist, white gloves, and black pants. His eyes were also wide and visible, yet to turn squinted.[8] At age 54, he wore a dark blue bunny-eared hat and had a more muscular body, as well as a black beard trimmed to form a G, and was shown to still have teeth.[9]At age 60, his hair had started to gray and he was becoming pot-bellied. He wore a cap with devilish horns and eyes, gloves, a blue bodysuit with a yellow gold matrix-pattern, what seems to be briefs over it and a belt with the green letter "G" as the gold yellow buckle.[10]

## Personality

He is very calm and analytical, as he was able to deduce that Doflamingo had an ulterior motive for his supposed abdication.[7] He always emphasizes the letter "**G**" in his words and even goes so far as to mimic it with his hands.[11]

He seems to be rather senile in his old age, such as when he went back into the elevator that he had just left instead of going to the Toy House. He appears to be far-sighted, as he needed glasses in order to spot Kabuup close. This does not seem to affect his fighting capabilities, however, as he was able to swat Kabu away quickly with minimal effort.[11] He is also hard of hearing.[12]

He has his own Laughter Style: "Fafafafafafa".[11]

## Abilities and Powers

As one of the officers of the former Shichibukai led Donquixote Pirates, Lao G has shown to be a powerful fighter, despite his age. In fact, he is one of the well known fighters of the Corrida Colosseum, where the caliber of fighters is very high.[4] It is said that when the four officers enter the tournament, they have a 100% chance of victory.[5]

Doflamingo also trusted him enough to guard the entrance to his factory from the Straw Hats' actions.[14]

### Physical Abilities

Despite his elderly age, Lao G has proven himself to be a extremely powerful and skilled martial artist, being able to knock down Thunder Soldier, a toy known for his speed and dexterity, with ease. His incredible speed and reflexes are seen further on when he managed to put his glasses on and then swat Kabu away, despite the fact that the dwarf, a species known for its speed, was mere inches away from his face.[11] Even the likes of Chinjao, a pirate of legendary strength, is shown to be no match for him (although at the time the latter was still weakened by his fight against Luffy).[15][12] He was the one who taught Law hand-to-hand combat, along with a diagram of pressure points, showing his skills as a teacher.[16][17]

However, his legs seems to be frail from old age, as they were shivering while standing, and his eyesight requires spectacles to see more clearly. His body can even become so weak that his spirit may leave it and be ready to pass on, however he can just as quickly recover from near-death if he feels he has been called back, showing that he still has a very strong life force. [11]

#### Jio-Ken

Lao G is a master of a martial arts style known as the Jio-Ken.[15] The techniques utilized all revolve a theme around his advanced age, taking advantage of any debilitating symptoms of an elderly as his fighting stance. With his mastery of Jio-Ken, he could fight and overwhelm Chinjao, who is an extremely powerful master of Hasshoken. Lao G can use the ultimate technique of this style which is to use qigong to conserve his physical vitality during his youth, which he can store up until he needs it, granting him immense strength of his prime once unleashed, thus negating his weaknesses of senescence.[12]

## TMNT X Pokemon

## Trivia

* Lao means "old" in Chinese (老). G is homophonic with *jii* (爺?), which means "grandpa" or "old man" in Japanese. Effectively, Lao G's name means "old grandpa" or "very old man".
* He, Vergo, and Dellinger are the only officers of the Donquixote Pirates who do not have the power of a Devil Fruit.
