Avalo Pizarro

Avalo Pizarro, also known as the "Corrupt King," was a notorious criminal who received a life sentence in Level 6 of Impel Down due to the severity of his atrocities. His crimes were so heinous that the World Government sought to erase his existence from history. Before his criminal days, he had ruled as a despotic king in a North Blue kingdom, but his people eventually overthrew him. Thanks to Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard), Pizarro found freedom once more and joined the ranks of the fearsome Blackbeard Pirates. He earned the title of the captain of the Fourth Ship, making him one of the Ten Titanic Captains within the crew.

Pizarro's immense power is evident by the fact that he was confined in Level 6, where only the strongest and most dangerous criminals reside. When Blackbeard recruited Level 6 prisoners, he chose those who could survive the brutal battles in a free-for-all scenario, proving Pizarro's formidable strength. His abilities stem from the Shima Shima no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This fruit allows Pizarro to assimilate his body with an island, granting him complete control over the natural surroundings and any artificial structures on that island. He can sense human activity as if it were connected to his own body, and his face can manifest across the island on various surfaces. When Koby managed to escape from Impel Down with Perona's help, Pizarro used his powers to pinpoint the breakout and inform the Blackbeard Pirates about it. While he refrained from personally engaging in the capture, he was confident that Teach wouldn't approve of him doing so. During Garp and SWORD's assault on the island, Pizarro witnessed their escape from the island using his Devil Fruit powers, and he expressed annoyance that Teach always received the praise for their actions. Seizing an opportunity, Pizarro tried to crush Garp's ship with his gigantic hands formed from the island, intending to make it appear as Garp's failed rescue attempt of Koby. He was determined to bring about the demise of Garp and his crew through his ruthless abilities.
