Roronoa Yoro/Personality and Relationships



&lt;- Back to Roronoa Yoro Introduction

Personality
Yoro usually maintains a Calm, Cool and Serious personality, but Easily loses his temper if something annoys. Like is brother he can also be extremely intimidating, easily frightening weaker opponents with just a glance. He is a born killer capable of showing no mercy during combat, as seen when he and Rain Slaughtered an entire Town for setting them up. Furthermore, It has been stated that he has a monstrous killing intent evident from the fact that he was able freeze an entire bar of pirates and bounty hunters with it on his first meeting with the Nine Hunters. Despite this, He is shown to be genuinely compassionate and empathetic about others, as seen when he was willing to risk his life for the sake of a Family that feed him.

He has a strong sense of leadership and reasoning that make most suspect him of being the leader of the Nine Hinters if they were to ever work as one. Unlike his brother his sense of direction is extremely Good, to the point where even if he tries to get lost he will always find his destination before anyone else, This is often results in him finishing what ever job he takes quicker than most. A running gag of his is his obliviousness to his own action to the Opposite sex, as shown when he charmed both Lauren Summers and Snow Flower on their first meeting by giving them both expensive gifts that were suppose to be for a client by accident while escaping from some pirates.

Yoro has difficulty remembering the names and faces of people who he conceders unimportant to him. He does not care about authority and traditional respect, and is often quite rude and disrespectful when talking to those older than himself, calling Sengoku "gramps" and referring to Admirals by his personal Nicknames as an example when he called Akainu Magma Mutt when he meet him at a small island on the grand line. When it comes to fighting, Yoro has a complex sense of honor; he regularly seeks to exact revenge for the actions of his opponent, such as instilling the fear of being murdered in Spandam for getting in the way of one of his Bounties.

When Not Hunting, he normally spends his Time Meditating or Sharpening his skill, Despises his actions to the rest of the Nine Hunters he hates those who mistreat their allies in any way, even if they are his own enemies. He is disgusted when an individual berates his/her own allies, such as when Akainu calls His underlines "trash" because they did not want to kill their target. He also expresses anger towards those who go as far as attacking their own allies, expressing that he cannot forgive those who murder their own comrades.

Like Zoro he is very vigorous when he is determined to achieve a goal or defeat an enemy like taking risks that leave many wondering if he were crazy, However, unlike his brother he is not able to accept defeat when he perceives it to be inevitable instead he will try a different approach. He often displays a SAdistic smirk that gives his opponents the impression of a Tiger Preparing to strike it's Prey.

"You know it's not Smart to mess with a hungry Tiger"
