History: Gear was born in the middle of the sea during a voyage and spent his life travelling round with his parents selling things. By the time he was 8 he asked his parents what it was like outside of the Grandline as he’d never known life out there. During his travels with his parents he learnt how his parents had managed to survive so long in the Grandline despite the fact a very small amount of money. His parent’s small ship came across a Marine ship which was stranded in the middle of the sea due to having their mast destroyed. Gear was left on the ship while his parents dropped their anchor and rushed aboard the Marine ship with a tool box. Whilst 30 minutes pasted Gear heard some noises coming from the Marine ship as and saw a few marines lying unconscious through the windows. 2 hours later Gear and his parents set sail in a newly remodelled ship while the marines were left behind on the remains of a ship which wasn’t used to reconstruct Gear’s parent’s ship. Gear realised this would be the only life he would know and chose to happily get his hands dirty. By the age of 15 Gear was joining in with his parents raiding ships and stealing whatever he could to use on their own ship. As they approached Drum island on a truly amazing ship which they’d constructed their lives were cut short as the only thing which stood between them and Drum island was a whirlpool. Gear and his parents understood that this was karma reacting to all their bad deeds, but accepted that everything has to come to an end and sat back with his parents and had a final beer. Their ship along with all of their hard work was torn apart as was the family. Gear woke up on Drum island with no idea of where his parents were. Gear found himself in bed with a person stood over him. When Gear asked what happened his saviour explained that Gear had washed ashore in such bad condition that he was as good as dead. Because doctors in Drum island were rare this shipwright did what he could to help Gear and remodelled his right arm and hand and right foot. Because of the chemicals which were used in certain parts of his body his eyes reacted to them by glowing purple and making him burp and fart more often than normal. Gear stayed with his saviour for two more years learning many things from this shipwright such as explosives and how to build ships. They both began working on his mechanical parts by installing an air cannon in his right foot which can be used to make him hover or jump higher by only for a small amount of time, tools in his right arm which he can use for any purpose, a nail gun which fire 12cm nails, a few sticks of dynamite which he learnt to make from his saviour, an 8 ft long chain which also hangs a little bit out of his arm, increasing the strength in his arm and installing a small fridge in his ribcage for his fuel which is cola. Gear finally felt it was time he left the island and went in search of his parents.
Personality: Gear is a happy character who hates getting distracted when working and is most active at night and usually does his work then. Gear likes friendly people and enjoys showing off and will do so whenever he can. The only thing which he will allow to distract him is a pretty woman, but he will constantly keep trying to get their attention by showing off and trying to do everything for them even if its something he can’t do in the least like cooking.
