Mohji the Beast Tamer is a pirate and the First Mate of the Buggy Pirates. He is an animal handler and is always near his pet, the lion Richie. His actions make him a secondary antagonist in the Orange Town Arc.

Appearance

Each time Mohji appears in a new story arc, his hair changes. During the Orange Town arc, his hair was cut like a 🧸 teddy bear; in the Logtown arc, he wore a pink helmet with rabbit ears sticking out of it; and when he and the crew got to the Grand Line, his hair looked almost like a lion’s tail. In the Impel Down Arc, his hair looked like a lamb’s mane and was very similar to Merry’s.

Mohji got very fat after the timeskip. His ears now make him look like an elephant.

Personality

Mohji can sometimes be very pompous and silly. Buggy’s mini-arc showed him being competitive with Kabaji. Richie is his best friend and he is fond of the big lion. He took offense at being called a liar. Kabaji used Richie as a shield against Luffy, Zoro, and Nami.

Abilities and power

Mohji claims to be able to control any animal he likes, or at least has the capability to do so. He did attempt to tame Shushu but got bitten. He needs to prove that he has the ability by trying it on someone other than his pet Lion, Richie (who appears to be friendly with him). Mohji usually prefers using Richie in 💥 battles rather than fighting on his own. However, he is quick and agile, and is excellent with whips.

Histories

Orange Town Arc

His first appearance was when Mohji was sent by his captain Buggy after Roronoa Zoro. However, Luffy got in his way and 🤕 defeated Mohji after he burned down the pet food store that belonged to the recently deceased man and his hitherto living dog. After returning to Buggy, he was so busy trying to warn Buggy that Luffy was a Devil Fruit user when he arrived to meet him.

After the Battle: Team Buggy

After Buggy’s defeat, Mohji and Kabaji fought for leadership of the group. They were both equal in strength and fought for hours. Richie hit both of them and they fell unconscious. Richie then became the most important person on the ship. But it was not to be. Richie and the pirates were caught by a group of Kumate Tribe cannibals, but they were saved by Buggy, Alvida, Mohji, and Kabaji.

Logtown Arc

Later, Mohji participated in an attack on Logtown. He was supposed to set fire to the Straw Hat Pirates’ ship but it rained. Richie was also found by Usopp. Before Mohji could do anything, however, he fell and hit his head against the ship’s hull, which led to him losing consciousness. He managed to unite with his crew, though, before the Straw Hat Pirates were able to escape.

Jaya Arc

Mohji was also shown later with the Buggy Pirates. They were on the Grand Line. They went into a cave with Buggy and Kabaji. He was certain that Captain John’s treasure was in it. Ace, who was later seen celebrating with his crew aboard the ship, joined them for a moment after hearing the sounds of the feast.

The Impel Down Arc

Mohji is shown alongside Alvida and the remaining Buggy Pirates begging Alvida to go to Impel Down to save Buggy. But they all change their minds quickly and decide to remember Buggy. Alvida suggests they go, and they all agree that they will all be there.

Post-War Arc

Buggy was reunited once again with his crew. Mohji and Kabaji cried. He and Kabaji were later introduced to the Impel Down prisoners.

3D2Y

As Buggy and his crew sail alongside Burndy World’s ship, several of his subordinates watch the 💥 battle taking place on the ship between Sebastian and Monkey D. Luffy. When one of the escaped prisoners from Buggy says that the 💥 battle is mind-blowing, the captain personally goes aboard the ship to watch. After discovering Luffy was on the World’s vessel, he plans to harass Vold, Luffy. His subordinates listen carefully to the captain’s rants. Galdino, Hancock’s helper, tells the crew, and Mohji and Kabaji instantly run up to him and look through his binoculars at the empress. Buggy descends to World’s vessel with his crew, and then goes downstairs. Luffy is beaten by World. He orders his crew to assist Luffy as much as possible. Luffy runs off when he awakes. Buggy’s Team goes after him and runs into Guyram, who had already 🤕 defeated Luffy and immediately attacked Buggy and his team, attacking them with cubes. Buggy attempts to convince Luffy to defeat Ward. The crew is impressed by their captain when Buggy appears. The Funan brothers give speeches in honor of Buggy. Kabaji and Mohji don’t get why they do it. Mohji asks for advice. Mohji replies that they should be doing the same as the rest. Gairam attacks the team while they praise their captain. Galdino saves his comrades and tells them to run. However, they could not get far and Galdino was quickly 🤕 defeated and Buggy was turned into a cube by Guiram’s powers. Many thanks to Boa Hancock’s help, Guyram was defeated, but since no one but Buggy and Galdino saw Hancock in the smoke, the crew thought it was the captain who 🤕 defeated the enemy and began praising him again. Mohji and Kabaji glance at each other, confused as to why their comrades keep praising Buggy. However, they decide that they should also dance with the team. Buggy and his minions are seen emerging from the dungeon just as the Watch arrives. A joyful Buggy waves to the ships but Sakazuki, not paying any attention, attacks Ward’s ship. Buggy’s crew must retreat swimmingly.

Team Buggy after the timeskip

Mohji appeared for the first time after the Karai Bari Island timeskip, when he sat at an island table with Richie, Galdino, Alvida, and Kabaji, celebrating the 🤕 defeat of Doflamingo. Kabaji points out that Doflamingo’s exit from the underground will have a positive impact on their business. Mohji, however, manages to spoil Buggy’s mood with the news that Hyrudin’s team has left Buggy’s Delivery to join the Straw Hats.

One Piece Early

In Oda’s early sketches, Mohji looked very different from the man he would become. Mohji looked different in sketches. In one, he looked just like a panda and in another, like a lion. These choices looked corny so neither were they used. Mohji, on his third appearance, did indeed look a bit like a lion.
