He was a retired Marine, although he doesn't speak much about his past, a handful of influential figures within the Navy have identified him, although having trouble due to his old age. Old Man Qu is like a grandfather to Desmond, he treats Desmond and the crew kindly and often disregards his own life for theirs, seeing himself as someone's who's lived long enough he'd rather have Desmond and the crew live to fulfill their dreams, with or without him.

### Harriet K. Shun (Friend/Crewmate)

Harriet is Desmond's 5th Crew Member and joined after she noticed he wore the overcoat of the previous pirate king, Monkey D. Luffy. Through touching this overcoat, she saw a small glimpse of Monkey D. Luffy's adventures, this refueled the hope of which she had given up on years ago, which was to document the travels of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew. And sensing that Desmond was her only hope, she decided to join him. Although Harriet doesn't seem particularly warm-hearted, she does care for her crew, and Desmond the same.

### Eliza Inloe (Cousin/Crewmate)

Eliza is Desmond's 6th crew member and his distant cousin. Due to her parents misdeeds to the Vasquez Family, they were exiled from the island. Shortly after being exiled, Eliza was born. For nearly two decades, Eliza had no idea about her origin, and was only curious because her parents and her were the only people with purple hair in the entire village they lived in. Eliza questioned this, but her parents refused to tell her, until Desmond washed up on the island after his defeat by Blank. Eliza found him, and realizing he had the same purple hair, she took him home and demanded answers from her parents. Seeing the boy, the two had found that he was indeed the next inheritor of the Pirate Crew. They told Eliza of the Vasquez family, and how she was originally going to be the inheritor, they kept it secret due to the fact that she had dreamed of becoming a pirate, and they fear she'd hate them. However, Eliza didn't hate them nor Desmond, but instead the Vasquez family, she wanted to break the strict rules they placed on their bloodline, and so she joined Desmond, hoping to become strong enough to rival the leaders of the family.
