Personality[]
When Duval first appeared, he was shown to have a grudge towards Sanji because of the pirate's bounty (which had an identical picture to him). His hatred for Sanji is so great that he did not care whether the Straw Hats got killed. Duval is willing to listen to new ideas such as Sanji's idea of changing up his facial appearance to avoid being misidentified as the pirate himself. Duval was also shown to be narcissistic and obsessive with his facial appearance. After his redemption, Duval shows great devotion and loyalty to the Straw Hats, assisting them whenever the need arises. This devotion is shown when the Thousand Sunny became abandoned due to the Straw Hats being separated by the Warlord Bartholomew Kuma's Devil Fruit abilities, Duval and his gang does their best to protect the ship against invading pirates and Marines until the aforementioned Warlord took over the duty of protecting the ship.
Abilities[]

Biography[]
Past[]
Duval was born in the beginning of the Pirate era. As a baby, he was already seen as a curse that was a result of the Pirate era. As time passes, Duval became a thug and criminal. After Sanji's bounty appeared in the newspaper, the Marines began to target Duval because of wrong identification. Duval fled the island he was at, wore an iron mask for protection, went to Saboady Archipelago, and vowed to defeat Sanji with the gang he met there.
Saboady Archipelago Arc[]
Duval had a gang kidnap Hatchan so that he can lead Keimi, Pappug, and the Straw Hats to his base. Once the Straw Hats rescued Hatchan at the base, Duval sent out his men to deal with them. When Luffy stumbled into Duval's secret base, he breaks his iron mask revealing his identity. Afterwards, Duval fought Sanji (the guy he wanted revenge upon) and was ultimately defeated by having his face rearranged.
After accepting his new look, Duval and the Rosie Life Riders told the Straw Hats that if they need any help, they can always call them. After the Straw Hat's arrival on Saboady Archipelago, Sanji called Duval through the den-den mushi and told him that Keimi was captured by a slave trader. Duval and his group appeared and assisted the Straw Hats in retrieving Keimi and fleeing the Marines.
Time Skip[]
It was revealed that Duval and his team had protected the Staw Hats's ship, Thousand Sunny, against the Marines and their enemies. Bartholomew Kuma would eventually became the ship's new protector.
Return to Saboady Archipelago Arc[]
Duval and his team were first seen in bandages after guarding the Sunny for pretty long time. Duval was going to tell Sanji the story of his heroism but was ignored by the latter.
