History
Gattle Arc

Ten years after Tomas reveived the Sheru Sheru no Mi, Tomas spent his life stealing from the marines stationed on Sargasso island. After escaping from Marine Captain Nero one day, Tomas stowed away on the Gattle Pirate's ship by hiding in a supply crate. Tomas was discovered by the crew two days later in which he had to defeat the whole crew and their captain, Gattle. After Tomas knocked Gattle and the whole crew unconscious, he met Komota below deck on the Gattler and they quickly became friends. After Tomas and Komota docked at the closest island, they attempted to turn in the Gattle Pirates to the Marines stationed in Guppa town, a small town on the island, until Gattle woke up and tried to destroy the town. Tomas and Komota then fought against Gattle and together they defeated him. After that, Tomas and Komota sailed off on the Gattler and Tomas officially formed the Shell Pirates by painting over the Gattle Pirate's Jolly Roger with is own. They both then sailed into the West Blue with no idea where they are going.

Fishman War Arc

A week after Tomas and Komota sailed away from Guppa town, the crew was attacked by the New Arlong Pirates. After a defeat at the hands of the fishman attackers, another group of fishman appeared and took Komota back to their home island in the Koko Islands while the New Arlong Pirates captured Tomas and swam away with him. Komota then woke up in a hospital on the Koko Islands with Sake sitting next to his bed. Komota asked Sake about what was going on and after Komota found out about the upcoming war, he decided to fight in it. Meanwhile, Tomas was thrown in jail in New Arlong Park along with the two fishmen that brought him to the palace for insubordination, and Benthic for letting Komota escape. Afterwards Ocho Muhhi went down to the jail and attacked Tomas. After Komota promised to help Thunnus, he decided to attack New Arlong Park with all of his soldiers. During the war, Sake and Komota were found and attacked by Benthic (after being let out of jail) and Goburi and Tomas and Ocho both got out of jail and continued their fight. Benthic and Goburi were both knocked unconscious, but a large black beast gave and took Benthic away. The same beast appeared and saved Tomas by killing Ocho. While all of this happened, Thunnus was making his way to New Arlong Park to have a final showdown with Madame Nellie.
