1. Sniper King
After Usopp quit the Straw Hat gang, he was inevitably caught up in the STORM of CP9. After hearing that Robin had been captured, Usopp did not want to leave and did not want to see Luffy again, so he put on a mask and pretended to be the Sniper King and went to the Island of Justice to rescue his partner.
In fact, just look at the appearance, the sniper king's dress is very simple and funny, Usopp just put on the mask and put on the cape to change his identity, just look at this mask is not dare to compliment, especially the flaming red lips, as Perona said is a strange mask. But in the plot, it symbolizes the brave warrior of the sea, and also represents the courage of Usopp to become his ideal hero, so whenever the Sniper King appears, it makes people feel inexplicably handsome and at ease.
There are two small details about this mask, and perhaps some people have wondered where Usopp took this mask from? In fact, the seven cities of water are rich in masks, and the world government personnel also bought a pair as a specialty, when Yamaji rescued Usopp French, there was a soldier who had a very similar mask in his suitcase, and Usopp should be wearing it. But the Sniper King Mask has only three petals, and this face has five petals, which may be that Usopp broke two, or it may be Oda's painting mistake.
In addition, the Sniper King Mask already wears sniper scopes on his eyes, so Usopp can wear the mask to rescue Robin from a long distance. The moment Usopp put on the mask, he was ready to fight!
Second, Kira
Kira is a member of the Kidd Pirates combatant and has been wearing a mask since his debut on Chambord Island. Kira's mask is blue-and-white striped with many small holes in it, which look a bit seepage. Coupled with Kira's calm personality, fierce moves, a strong image of a person who does not talk much jumps on the paper.
However, this poker face also has a funny time, Kira usually wears a mask to live, even when eating. Because the stomata of the mask is very small, Kira can only eat food such as udon noodles, and even the soup with water splashes on the face, coupled with the fact that the mask is not often taken off to clean, it is inevitable that it will become moldy over time, and I can't accept the smell when I think of it!
To the surprise of TheMi, Oda suddenly draws Kira's true face in the second act of the Kingdom of Peace, and after the defeat of the Kidd Regiment, Kira uses the name Kamakura to fight for the great snake, and after eating the smile fruit and becomes crazy, it looks very sad. In the third act, Kira puts on her mask again, and although she still can't control her smile, she finally regains her cool killer temperament.
Three, Dibaru
Dibaru was one of Oda's most successful powder-stealing incidents. Di Baru debuted with a strong, rugged personality and wearing a huge iron mask to cover the lineup. The iron mask is more like a helmet, the crown is a bit Greek warrior style, the part of the eye is three crosses, and there are two strands of red wisps on the sides. No matter how you look at it, it is a strong painting style.
The mask was kicked by Luffy, and DiBaru was forced to let Yamaji take a good look at his face, which was exactly the same as Yamaji's wanted list. That's when we learn that Yamaji ruined Di Baru's life and that Luffy saw Di Baru's face. Who would have thought that so many preparations before were for the sake of playing treasure, Oda really has you!
In fact, since Dibaru, Oda has been paving the way for Yamaji's real body. Yamaji was imprisoned in a basement by Gaj in an iron mask as a child, a plot that pays a clear tribute to the mysterious figure of French history, the Man in the Iron Mask. In 1667 the French fortress of Pinello welcomed a mysterious prisoner wearing an iron mask, who was asked to be held incommunicado and then transferred to a more confined cell, sometimes with high-ranking people asking to meet him alone. The Man in the Iron Mask never took off his mask for the rest of his life, and finally died peacefully in prison, secretly buried. Some people suspected that he was a royal relative and lost the power struggle, but the king could not bear to kill him before he imprisoned him for the rest of his life.
Back to One Piece, the legend of the Iron Mask is very similar to Yamaji's childhood, Gazhi believes that Yamaji is his shame, but he can't bear to kill his son, and wants to imprison him forever, if it weren't for Reijiu saving Yamaji almost spent his life in the cell. DiBaru's Iron Mask may be Oda's rehearsal to pay homage to the story of the Iron Mask.
By the way, Yamaji is now a real mask, and the invisible black battle suit has goggles and a mask, which is also a mask to cover the true face.
Iv. Guladius
Guladius was a cadre of the Don Quixote family and a person with the ability to burst the fruit. The intuitive feeling he gives is that he is the strongest under the highest cadres, with a fierce and fierce record, and I even think he is stronger than Diamanti and Torrepol.
His style is also in line with his strength, and at first glance, it is the painting style of a strong man who does not talk much. The gentleman's hat, the big goggles, and the half-mask almost completely obscured his face, and his mask resembled a mask, completely covering his nose, mouth, and ears.
The image of Guladius changes a lot, after he is angry, the explosive head will explode the hat, the hair can also explode out to launch a large-scale attack, after using this move, it will temporarily become a bald head, and the killer is full of explosions, just like the Saru of the Dragon Ball into a balloon. But no matter how it changes, the mask that is very protective is always worn on the face.
5. Pika
Pika is the highest official of the Don Quixote family and a stone fruit ability. Pika wears a strange mask with many spikes on it, and the nose part is a cross-shaped decoration that looks quite obscuring the view.
Pika is quite fond of barbed ornaments, and he also has thorns in his armor, and Oda also said that he actually has meat thorns on his shoulders. The mask remained after Pica transformed into a Colossus. Eventually, he was forced out of his body by Sauron and beheaded, and his mask was also cut off.
VI. Bastiyu
Bastieu is one of the admirals, and his signature weapon is the giant shark chopper, in addition to which he wears the iconic bull horn mask. Somewhat similar to Kira's mask, there are many air holes on it for ventilation and observation.
The navy faced Saab, chief of the general staff of the Revolutionary Army, and Bastiyo shouted for his men to retreat and bravely meet the battle himself. However, the gap in strength was too large, and Bastiyu's two major symbols, the famous knife and the mask, were easily crushed by Saab. Fortunately, Fujihu intervened to save his life, so that Bastiyu's skull was not pinched into an eggshell by Saab.
Seven, Jack
Jack is one of the three big kanbans of the Hundred Beasts Pirate Regiment, known as drought. Jack wears a mask that resembles a large mask, and after transforming into an animal-like mammoth, the mask seems to disappear.
Jack's mask doesn't feel protective, and I personally think that the main function is to cover his mouth, so that it is impossible to see that he has the fangs of the Fishmen. Perhaps in the next battle, Jack will suddenly attack with his sharp teeth when he is not ready.
VIII. Embers
Ember is the first of the three plagues of the Hundred Beasts Pirate Regiment, and is known as the Fire Disaster. Ember's facial attire is very exaggerated, and the inverted triangular mask, combined with the flame pattern next to it, almost covers the entire face. This also caused the AI software to be unable to recognize the face of the ember, and his appearance was only 1.9 points from the bottom of the whole One Piece, but in the eyes of the hymi, the ember was still quite domineering.
Ember still has a lot of mysteries on his body, and after he transformed into a toothless pterosaur in the form of a beast, he felt that his face and mask merged into the mouth of the pterosaur. And the aunt also said that he belonged to a very rare race, and maybe there would be a plot of embers taking off their masks in the future.
Nine, small purple
Princess Day of the Moon of Light and the pseudonym Xiao Zi, quietly waiting for the day when the Kingdom of Light and Moon and Moon are restored, and on weekdays, Hua Kui needs to contact and play. When Xiao Zi plays the song "Moon Ji", she always wears a fox mask.
This mask resembles the popular "White Fox Mask" in Japan and is commonly used in various manga works, and Naruto also wears a similar fox face in the dark part. Rather than the mask itself, Oda emphasized the reason for wearing the mask, because Mita made the song his own funeral music, and Hinata missed his father every time he played it, so he had to mask his expression. After defeating Kaido, perhaps Hyuga will play a song in front of Mita's tomb to comfort his father that Hikari's revenge has been obtained.
10. Xiao Ju
Kiku no Shō, known as Koki, is one of the Nine Heroes of the Red Sheath, and he is a samurai with a male and female heart. He used to wear a banjo face when fighting, perhaps because his appearance was too beautiful to want his enemies to look down on him as a beautiful woman. Oda may have referenced the story of the Chinese Lanling King.
During the Battle of Onijima, koki wore another mask because she could no longer wear a ghost face because she was wearing a helmet, which was a common mask during the Sengoku period in Japan, and only covered her mouth. It is a pity that the Mita Memories do not expand to describe the relevant plot.
XI. Yamato
Kaido's daughter, Yamato, usually calls herself Mitsuki Mita, and she also wears a banroku face when she first appears.
Yamato's mask I haven't found any meaning yet, maybe it's just that Oda wants to hide her identity as a "girl" to surprise us. There may also be another mystery, after all, Yamato's fruit has not yet been revealed, and it is widely speculated that it is a story such as a Tyrannosaurus rex, but it may also be a ghost or other esper fruit, and the Prajnaparamita mask may be a hint.
XII. CP
Finally, let's talk about one of the largest organizations in One Piece, the World Government Spy Organization Cipher Pol, abbreviated as CP. They are similar to the shadows in Naruto, often operating in secret, doing some dirty work for the Draco, so the whole staff often acts with masks.
The leader of their highest level, CP0, does not seem to be a newcomer to Lu qi, but a young brother in the kingdom of Peace. The eyes on his mask are the shape of Othello, and in the Battle of Ghost Island, he analyzes the battle with Othello, and talks about a bunch of self-righteous conclusions, but he doesn't know that he will soon be punched in the face. However, as the head of CP0, the strength of this mask brother must be quite strong, even above Lu Qi, maybe we will soon see his true face.
