Kumate Tribe

The Kumate Tribe is a group of cannibalistic people in East Blue.

About

Members of this tribe are all humans; however, those that were seen all share one physical characteristic, having visibly similar noses that have the same color and shape. Kumate Tribesmen all style their hair in the same fashion, shaving most of it and tying what is left into a long antenna-like ponytail on the top of their heads and leaving a little hair on the back of their heads. All tribesmen wear the same outfit, consisting of a striped shirt, torn skirts, a grass necklace, a long scarf-like cloth tied around their necks, and sandals. They also have their tribal symbol tattooed or painted on the backs of their hands. The Kumate Tribe was founded on September 29th. There are between thirty to fifty tribesmen.

Homeland

The Kumate Tribe's homeland is on an island within East Blue, and representative of their clan's name, the island itself is shaped like a bear's paw, round in shape with four mountains protruding on the edge in reminiscence of toes.

History

The tribe easily defeated the Buggy Pirates when they were under the temporary captaincy of Richie and attempted to eat them. After the Kumate Tribe discovered Buggy's severed limbs, Buggy, with the help of Alvida, was reunited with his body parts and managed to defeat the Kumate Tribe and save his crew.
