~ Shiryu to Blackbeard.
Sorry for cutting you.
~ Shiryu's sarcastic apology.

Shiryu (in Japanese: シリュウ, Shiryū), also known as Shiryu of the Rain, is a supporting antagonist in the One Piece franchise.

He was a chief jailer at Impel Down, known for his mass slaughters against the prisoners. He was eventually locked up in Level 6 for his crimes and was placed on death row, but was temporarily released by Magellan to take care of the Blackbeard Pirates who broke in to free the other prisoners. However, he instead ended up being recruited into the pirate crew by their captain, Blackbeard and assisted his crew in invading the Marineford War to steal Whitebeard's Devil Fruit. After the time-skip, Shiryu became one of the Ten Titanic Captains of Blackbeard's fleet, serving as the captain of the Second Ship.

He was voiced by Takayuki Sugō in the Japanese version of the anime, and Matt Thurston in the FUNimation English dubbed version, who also provided the voice of Gallus Cleaner from Mushoku Tensei.

Personality[]

As a hoodlum of Impel Down, Shiryu is a ruthless, malicious and sadistic man who revelled in killing prisoners at Impel Down. He is not concerned by the brutality of his actions and cares little for the prisoners lives claiming them to be trash. Shiryu is also shown to be treacherous as he went back on his agreements with Magellan when he agreed to take down the Blackbeard Pirates when released from his prison cell and instead used that opportunity to kill his former prison guards and escaped from Impel Down.

Even as a member of the Blackbeard Pirates, Shiryu did not mind the opportunity of leaving the crew if Blackbeard could not obtain Whitebeard's power showing that he did not truly respect his captain and his crew and was willing to betray them if they did not meet his expectations. However, after Blackbeard succeeded in taking the powers of Whitebeard, he remarked on how he made the right decision by joining up with them.

He is also cautious and attentive of impending threats, as seen by how he scolded the Blackbeard Pirates for underestimating Magellan and their carelessness of the dangers in the New World. However, he did join the crew in mocking the defeated Bonney Pirates.

Shiryu is said to have a perverted side of himself as ever since he gained the Clear-Clear Fruit, he would use his newfound abilities to spy on women in bathing rooms, much like his predecessor.

Powers and Abilities[]

He's as strong as Warden Magellan. If you think about how little Magellan actually works, Shiryu was twice as troublesome.
~ Emporio Invankov commenting on Shiryu’s power to Bon Clay.

Shiryu was stated to be as powerful as the former head jailer Magellan. Because of his strength, Shiryu was entrusted to guard the prisoners in Impel Down and maintained the prison's reputation as a place where no prisoner can escape from. Ivankov vouched for his strength, stating if he was still on duty, Luffy and Mr. 2's breakout would not have been possible. To gauge how strong he is, Shiryu was placed in Level 6 with the most powerful and dangerous prisoners in the world. Like other members of the Blackbeard Pirates, Shiryu have an impressive stamina and endurance, being able to recover quickly from point blank attacks from Whitebeard, the Strongest Man in the World, Sengoku, the former Fleet Admiral, and Garp. In addition, Shiryu was also able to survive in his battle against Magellan, the latter of whom that can easily incapacitate anyone with his poison ability.

He is incredibly stealthy, sneaking past the monitors of Impel Down without being seen. He also killed a guard without the latter even knowing he was present. This increased with the invisibility of his new devil fruit, as he delivered a powerful slash to Gecko Moria with him not aware of his presence.

He proves himself to be quite tactical, as he correctly assumed the Blackbeard Pirates would get poisoned, so brought out an antidote. During the raid of Hachinosu, he seemingly aimed an attack at Koby and succeeded in striking Garp who realized that was his intent all along.

Swordsmanship[]

Shiryu is a great swordsman, as he was able to cut down many of his targets with just one swipe of his sword. His swordsmanship abilities was strong enough to also inflict damage on Whitebeard during the Marineford War. However, it is unknown how powerful he is at using a sword in battle. He injured Monkey D. Garp (the legendary Marine Hero and the grandfather of the new Emperor, Monkey D. Luffy).

Devil Fruit[]

Shiryu has obtained the powers of the Clear-Clear Fruit and has gained the ability of invisibility.

Haki[]

Shiryu has Busoshoku Haki when he coated his sword. He can bypass Devil Fruit users' defensive abilities (including Logia).

Biography[]

Past[]

In the past, Shiryu was once the Head Jailer of Impel Down and was said to be an equal to Magellan but he constantly abused his rank as he would use it to ruthlessly murder many prisoners for his own entertainment. Because of the volume of his offense, Shiryu lost his position as Head Jailer and he was confronted by Magellan who placed him under arrest. They fought and Shiryu was defeated before he was locked up in level six of Impel Down to be executed for his actions.

Impel Down Arc[]

Shiryu was first seen in the sixth level of Impel Down where he revealed to the guards of where the escapees were going before remarking on how things were going since he was gone. Shiryu told them to tell them to pass on a message to the warden to free him for help. He was later released by the prison guards and was entrusted by Magellan to take care of the invading Blackbeard Pirates and to ease the tension in the prison. However, Magellan refused to lift his execution only postponing it before he hung up. Shiryu got his sword back from the prison guards who he immediately cut them down, sarcastically apologizing as he left the area. Afterwards, he confronted the Blackbeard Pirates who seemed like they were preparing for a fight with him. It is unknown what occurred in their meeting but the Blackbeard Pirates got passed him and he was shown unharmed as he destroyed communications to the outside world.

When the Blackbeard Pirates were poisoned by Magellan, Shiryu approached them and gave them a cure to the poison, stating without him they would have died. Blackbeard had previously offered Shiryu a chance to join his crew and repeated his offer, as the other crew members smile in agreement. Shiryu accepted the offer in order to avoid being imprisoned again and stated he had been waiting to meet someone like Blackbeard. With that, Shiryu became a member of the Blackbeard Pirates.

With Shiryu on their side, the crew traveled to level six in order to get new members to join the crew. Blackbeard then had the inmates all fight each other to the death, to find only the strongest ones. As a result, Blackbeard got four prisoners to join his crew. Blackbeard and the rest of his crew then headed out for Marineford.

Marineford Arc[]

After Ace's death, Shiryu along with the other Blackbeard Pirates were spotted on the platform and he was identified by the marines who were shocked at his new allegiance. Shiryu told an angry Sengoku to find out for himself as to what became of Magellan, as he is now with Blackbeard.

He took part in the crew's attack on Whitebeard, slashing him with his sword. After Whitebeard's death, Shiryu and the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates placed a black tarp on Whitebeard and their captain. As they waited on Blackbeard, Shiryu jokingly wondered if the crew would disband if Teach failed. When Blackbeard emerged and revealed that he stolen Whitebeard's devil fruit ability, becoming the first person to use two devil fruits, Shiryu remarked on how he actually pulled it off and stated that he made a good decision to join the crew.

Blackbeard continued to spread chaos on the battlefield until Shanks and his crew arrived to end the war. Blackbeard stated that his crew was not ready for fighting Shanks yet and Shiryu left the area with his crew.

Post-War Arc[]

The Blackbeard pirates were seen on a burning island in the New World resting from their battle at Marineford and having captured the Bonney pirates. Shiryu was seen complaining about how they needed a ship, rather than that log raft and soon told Catarina Devon to stop whining about not having new clothes. Despite this, he joined in mocking the defeated Bonney pirates for not being strong enough to hold their own against them. The crew were hoping to get to get a ship from the Marines to better go into New World, but they realized that the deal was cut off when they saw Akainu on board a ship coming towards the island. They managed to escape from the island without getting caught and left Jewelry Bonney and her crew to be arrested.

Time Skip[]

A year after the crew killed Whitebeard, they fought the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates led by Marco and defeated them with ease. With nobody else in their way, they used their captain's knowledge of Whitebeard's crew's former territories and took them over. Because of this Blackbeard became a Yonko and the Blackbeard Pirates began collecting powerful devil fruits to enhance their fighting abilities. The crew's number increased as well into ten squads, Shiryu soon became the captain of Blackbeard's second fleet two years after the Battle of Marineford.

Dressrosa Arc[]

Shiryu appeared along with Laffitte on board a ship. They were looking for Jesus Burgess who soon contacted them through a den den mushi and informed them that he was at the base of the Revolutionary Army, Baltigo. He informed them to contact Blackbeard and his crew so they can arrive at the island to attack the Revolutionary Army and steal their weaponry.

Zou Arc[]

The crew went through with their attack and invaded Baltigo, leaving the base in ruins before they were forced to retreat after briefly fighting Cipher Pol. Their attack on the Revolutionaries headquarters causes the Revolutionaries to retreat to another secure location.

Reverie Arc[]

Shiryu appears briefly with the other members of the Blackbeard Pirates as Blackbeard comments on the news about Monkey D. Luffy.

Wano Country Arc[]

When Absalom ventured to an island ruled by Blackbeard, members of the Blackbeard Pirates kills Absalom for his clear-clear fruit ability. Shiryu consumes the fruit and now has its power. After Gekko Moriah invaded, Shiryu use his power to go invisible to kill many zombies that Moriah used to attack the people on the island and attacks Moriah, taunting him with his new powers.

Egghead Arc[]

Did-shiryu-stab-through-garps-haki-or-is-this-an-axe-hand-v0-zyn2ya3sx3nb1

Shiryu stabbed Garp.

Sometime later after Blackbeard failed to kill Boa Hancock, Shiryu and his fellow crewmates were attacked by the Marines (led by Monkey D. Garp). Shiryu stabbed Garp at his stomach but only to punched down by the Marine Hero. While Koby escaped, Shiryu and the other members surrounded and captured Garp.

Quotes[]

~ Shiryu when Garp still fights even gotten stabbed by him.

Trivia[]

  • Shiryu can be considered a foil to Magellan, as Magellan is not ruthless as him and more reasonable than he is.
