## Stats

**Marine Captain Marrow**, formerly known as Arthur Dogtooth, was a Marine who is the brother of Rear Admiral Jefferson and the son of Cranstin, a fisherman from Miller Island. He changed his name after eating the Hone-Hone no Mi.

First mentioned in Episode 2: The Yogi Pooh and defeated in Episode 8: The Throne Room Battle by the Devil's Luck Pirates, Captain Marrow served as one of the major antagonists of the first saga. He acted as the main villain together with the slave trader and pirate captain Eustass Valve.

Marrow is locally famous for his brutality and strength, and claimed to have murdered "hundreds of pirates."

## **Appearance**

Captain Marrow was described as a "big guy", since he took up four spaces on the game board. This shows how his intimidating nature is enhanced by his large stoic figure. Donning a cow skull and a grizzled beard, along with a fine dark suit, Captain Marrow's terrifying reputation is very accurate. Further descriptions added on his deep sunken eyes, rectangular head, wide nose, and a comical cow tag on his left ear. Furthermore, thanks to his active milk drinking he has "perfect white teeth."

## **Personality**

Marrow is a stern man who doesn't seem to care about his subordinates, but does care about his family as he truly hated William for killing his father. He also seems to love killing pirates, but did seem to regret killing Viridian in a letter to Cranstin.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

#### Overview

He is primarily a melee fighter with his several Bone based attacks. However he does have a few ranged moves such as his Bone Gun and Bone Explosion. Marrow has had this Fruit for over a decade after he stole it from pirates.

He drinks a carton of milk each turn in order to gain bonus effects thanks to his Devil Fruit.

#### Milk Effects

* **Strawberry Milk** - Upon drinking Strawberry Milk, marrow grows two bone arms from his Ribcage that he can use to attack.

## **Relationships**

### **Friends and Allies**

#### Cranstin

Cranstin was Marrow's father. It can be assumed that the two were on good terms with each other, as Marrow was enraged by the news of his father death.

#### Trevor

Marine Commodore Trevor D. Chapston was Marrow's superior officer prior to the latter's death. They seemed to have known each other quite well. However, Marrow seems to have disliked Trevor, describing him as annoying. However, he was also deeply afraid of Trevor, due to the incredible power gap between them.

#### Jefferson

Rear Admiral Jefferson is Marrow's brother who also left their father. The two haven't spoken in many years but Jefferson seemed to greatly care for his brother.

### **Enemies**

#### Verona

Marrow hates Verona for being the first member of the Devil's Luck Pirates to injure him. The pirate sniper also serves as a living reminder of his own past actions.

#### Captain Viridian

They seemed to be close friends, but apparently their relationship soured. He played a prominent a role in Viridian's murder.

## **History**

Early on in his career as a Marine, he helped kill Verona's father, as revealed in Episode 8. He was also the man who burned down their house and gave Verona his now hidden burn scars across his mouth in the process. 10 years before the time of the first campaign Marrow raided a pirate ship and ate the Hone Hone no Mi.

Marrow's murdering of Verona's father would poetically be avenged when William "mercy killed" Marrow's father in Episode 2. Marrow was later killed in the Tarako Kingdom capital by Ragnar using the Kuma shredder. After dying, he encountered Ragnar again in Limbo, being Kuma shredded once again and sent to the afterlife. Probably hell, maybe to Lālābhakṣa.

## **Trivia**

* Marrow foreshadows William's brother Trevor when he tells him that he reminds him of his "annoying superior".
* Marrows design was slightly inspired by a young Garp.
* If Marrow drank breast milk, he would turn into a baby.

## **Quotes**

* "Little Verona! I am surprised that you survived, I thought nobody could survive an inferno like that! Your father was a fool! He thought he was a great Marine but he was a traitor, I just had to do my job but thank you for coming here! You're doing a lot of work coming here, now I can take out a traitor's son and the man who killed my father!"
