Hatchan

Height: 220 cm 73 Affiliations: Arlong Pirates Bounty: Hatchan Hacchan called Hachi by most characters is an octopus fishman. Hatchan is not very bright but a skilled swordsman using rokutry six sword style. Outside of battle he is extremely helpful and friendly though it should be noted that he can be just as cruel to humans as the other crew members are addressing Zoro politely when they first met and giving him a ride of a bay on his back. Later in the manga in a title page arc that was never animated Hatchan goes on many adventures meeting a mermaid that ends with him opening a floating takoyaki restaurant. In Hatchans SeaFloor Stroll its revealed that Hatchan along with Chu and Kuroobi planned to open a takoyaki store when they were younger. His nickname Hachi could also mean eight in Japanese a reference to him being an octopus fishman. Hatchans name is quite strange. In the Japanese language chan is a diminutive suffix added to the end of someones name giving it the meaning of cute or little. However Hatchan insists that his name is Hatchan and that Hachi is just a nickname. When questioned on this Oda replied that the chan is the same as the last name of Chan common in Chinese rather than the suffix chan.
