He was particularly responsible for the creation of the Pacifista and was friends with the original Pacifista, Bartholomew Kum.

Pez's grandmother is Charlotte Linlin, the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, who was previously considered one of the most dangerous figures for the World Government, leading to her title of “Emperor”.

New military leaders

• Debut: Chapter 1059 (manga), episode 1087 (anime)
• Parents: Dr. Vegapunk (creator), Albert (genetic ancestor), Seven Warlords of the Sea (genetic ancestors of their respective counterparts)

“Born” around the same time as the satellites (as confirmed in Vivre Card records), the Seraphim at least look closer to their age, but are still biologically quite a bit older than their actual age 2. Each one is modeled after and uses the DNA of the Seven Warlords of Mor (specifically the lineup Kuma joined) . In addition, they also received some of their DNA from Albert, better known as King, a moon dweller who is one of the top officers of the Beast Pirates.

They are a new model Pacifista designed to replace the Warlords after the World Government scrapped the system. ​​​​​​​Although they are children, they are strong enough to stand up to the emperors, effectively slipping into the niche left by their parents/predecessors. To copy their additional abilities, each seraphim has green blood, allowing them to use the artificial Paramecia Devil Fruit, gaining its powers but also a weakness to water.

Each seraphim has a code name of the letter S, followed by the designated animal associated with the counterpart. Their partly biological nature means they can age (perhaps becoming even more powerful in the process) and are capable of some level of independent thought and emotion, despite the level of control exercised over them.

1 Makino's baby

From the village of Fusha

• Debut: Chapter 614 (manga); Episode 878 (Anime)
• Parents: Makino (mother), father unknown

Makino is a bar owner and bartender from Fusha Village who knew Luffy when he was a small child. She was also familiar with the Red Hair pirates who were stationed in the village at the time. While not a particularly relevant character to the main story, she is one of many in the prologue, and is always interested in Luffy's exploits when they become news.

At the age of 31, she is now the mother of a child with an unknown name, gender and father. When asked about his identity, Oda identified the child's father as “probably this person.” Given the semi-serious nature of SBS and Makino's own insignificance, that's the best answer we're going to get. Despite the unclear paternity, Makino has rarely been seen without his child since their first appearance.
