When growing up his dad would read to him before he would sleep about legendary pirates that once sailed the seas. Richard has a father named Robert O potimus but his mother abandoned them. He also used to have a brother but he was killed by bounty hunters and eaten.  Richard also does fishing as a hobby and always looks for new recipes.

Deep dive

  Richard was born December 24. He was born on Zou and lived there for about six months. Richard spent his early childhood playing with his brother and father, (Robert O. Potimus: dad, Ragnar O. Potimus: brother) in the land of Wano. Richard considers wano to be his true home. Richard always had a fascination with cooking, often baking cakes and helping to cook dinner as a child. On his 8th birthday he received his 3 Hippopotiknives, 2 of them with a message one from his dad that says “time to cook” and one from his brother that says “follow your dreams”.  Richard moved from Wano it’s his dad and brother when he was 9 years of age. They moved to the south blue, the island Neputo. Richard would live with his family peacefully for a a few years before a group of people after Robert came and took Richard and Ragnar. At this time Richard was around 11. This unknown group of people caged Richard and Robert and would abuse them in unspeakable ways for weeks before Robert O Potimus and Delgato Mecator came to the rescue. Unfortunately they were too late as Ragnar O Potimus was cooked alive medium rare with no spices in front of and then eaten in front of the caged Richard. The reason for this was unknown to Richard at the time but it was a bit in Robert by a rival gang to Delgato because Robert was the one that made the drugs. Although Richard witnessed his brother cooked in front of him he still follows his goals of being the best chef to ever live.  Since that day Richard had a new long term goal to become a warrior of the sea so others will never harm those that are close to him.  After these traumatic events Robert would teach  Richard how to fight teaching him how to use his electro as well as wrestling and boxing. Richard would continue  learning and growing up with just his dad in the Potimus Pizzeria, Robert O Potimus would often do business with Delgato Mecator so Richard grew up and  viewed Delgato as a godfather. Richard would take up fishing as a hobby and eventually get his own supplies and boat. When Richard was 16 he got his iconic twomper, a large maul in the shape of a Mario twomp, delivered to him from wano.

### Becoming a Pirate

One day on his travels on his small fishing boat known as **The Hippotiship,** he would be minding his own bussiness rowing the boat towards Mercuss forest which had burst into flame, when a strange flock of crows, which would reveal itself to be Combo's brother; Ruben, who landed on his boat to rest. The two of them would arrive at Mercuss shortly afterwards where Richard would meet Combo for the first time. After their encounter; Combo would invite him to hang around with him for abit which led to him becoming a member of the Long Don Pirates, a role Richard happily accepted. Upon meeting Mercator Combo, Richard remembered that name Mecator and almost immediately knew that if was going to accomplish his dreams he might as well do it with someone that reminds him of family.
