Capone Bege

"I heard he was a sick young man who liked to hurt helpless living things and then watch them get weaker and weaker."

- Jinbe describing Bege's cruelty — One Piece episode 826.

Capone Bege is a pirate in One Piece. He is a member of the Supernovas and the Worst Generation and the leader of his own pirate group the Fire Tank Pirates. Capone Bege has a modus operandi of infiltrating groups and organizations so that he can murder the leaders of these groups for his own pleasure.

Personality
Bege was known in the past to be a sadistic man who reveled in hurting or killing people even animals. He is known to be methodical and patient when he infiltrates organizations such as the Big Mom Pirates to become their loyal ally until he finds a way to kill their leader. No reason is given for why Bege infiltrates organization to kill the leader of these organizations besides doing it out of pleasure. Though he is shown to be loyal to the organizations he infiltrates, Bege pretends to be a loyal member of the group. For example, he nearly killed Pekoms when he realized that Pekoms was going against Big Mom orders just to prove how loyal he was to their organization.

Bege is willing to negotiate with his enemies like Luffy and become allies with him to accomplish his goal of killing Big Mom. Despite his cruelty, he was shown to uphold his allegiance with Luffy and Jinbe and tried to help them. Outside of his sadism, he is willing to protect his crew and is protective of his son, Capone Pez, and wife, Charlotte Chiffon.

History
In the past, Bege gained a reputation for infiltrating many groups and assassinating their leaders for his own pleasure. He then became a pirate and formed his group the Fire Tank Pirates and earned his bounty for pirating. He first appeared in Sabaody Archipelago where he met with the other members of the Worst Generation like Monkey D. Luffy, Jewelry Bonney, Eustass Kid, and many others. When Luffy punched a Celestial Dragon, Saint Charloss, Bege and the other pirates had to leave Sabaody Archipelago when an admiral, Kizaru, a warlord, Bartholomew Kuma, and other Pacifista appeared. Bege escaped and made it to Marineford where he witnessed the last moments of the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines. He also made it to the New World but was caught by an unidentified object that was levitating the sky. Capone Bege later infiltrated Big Mom pirates, but unlike the other pirates who infiltrate her territory he decides to become an ally to her.

Bege was sent by Big Mom to go after and retrieve Caesar Clown and Sanji. With the Straw Hats at Dressrosa, he followed their ship on Big Mom's ship to Zou. While on Zou, he and Pekoms found the Straw Hats. Bege met with the Straw Hats and wanted Caesar and Sanji. When the Straw Hats saved Pekoms family from Jack's attack, Pekom only wanted Caesar but Bege was outraged from his idea and defiance to Big Mom's order and shot Pekoms. Bege then arranged for a meeting with Sanji with Chopper, Nami, Brook, and Caesar taken hostage. Bege reminded Sanji of his past as a royal and said that Big Mom and his father wanted to arrange for a political marriage with him and Charlotte Pudding. Sanji was at first against the idea but was forced to do it because he did not want to his endanger his crew with the Big Mom Pirates. Sanji manage to save Nami, Brook, and Chopper, and held Caesar as a hostage to prevent Bege from capturing them. Bege left Zou with Sanji, Caesar and his crew when Nekomamushi asked him what he did to Pekoms.

Bege appeared on Whole Cake Island after bringing in Caesar and Sanji. He abducted Pekoms and taunted him before shooting him off a cliff into shark-infested water. He later found Caesar and made him an ally in exchange for the latter getting his heart back. One day later, Bege organized a meeting with the Straw Hats to go over the assassination plan against Big Mom. Both the Straw Hats, Caesar, and the Fire Tank Pirates were able to put aside their issues to work towards the assassination plan.

Bege was the guard for the wedding in the morning. When the plan started with Luffy acting as a decoy, Katakuri ordered Bege to kill Luffy but he refused. After Brook destroyed the Mother Carmel photo that Big Mom liked, she screamed. Bege and his crew mates attempt to assassinate Big Mom with a rocket launcher but the plan failed when her powerful scream destroyed the rockets before they reached her. When the plan failed he retreated with the Straw Hat Crew and the Vinsmoke Family. Big Mom attacked him in his Big Father form when she found out he was a traitor. With the protection of the Vinsmoke Family, Bege and his allies were protected by the Big Mom Pirates. When the castle fell over, the group escaped from the Big Mom Pirates.

After their escape, Bege parted ways with the Straw Hats. When Chiffon, Pudding, and Sanji were needed to make the cake to stop Big Mom's rampage, Bege helped them get leave Cacao Island and go against Charlotte Oven. Bege agreed to leave the cake with him as the Straw Hats try to escape from Big Mom. As they were trying to escape from her, his ship was destroyed. He left a cake on an island far from the Straw Hats. When Big Mom began eating the cake, he along with his family and crew left.

Bege and his family and crew made it out of Totto Land to read the newspaper of what had happened.
