Despite once being enemies/rivals with the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh seems to have great respect for their captain, like Roger.Ībilities and Powers Haki Main article: Haki In Japanese, he prefers to be called "Ray-San". He is typically open and talkative, such as when it came to the mysterious Void Century he was willing to divulge the whole truth to Nico Robin if she wished, but she declined his offer.Īs stated by Shakky he loves alcohol and women, which he proved when he is first introduced saving Camie from being mistreated by Disco while holding a hip flask. He, like Whitebeard seems to have enjoyed talking about the past, and its great times and the good old days of their near bygone era, although he appeared reluctant to get into the darker topic of the Void Century. Unlike those that classically behave in this manner however, the Dark King is not often headstrong, looking before he leaps and taking time to plan ahead a bit before taking action, which is not to say that this saves the old man from all acts of spontaneity.Įven when entering into an unfortunate, unplanned or just plain surprising situation though, such as engaging a Navy admiral in combat or having his ship sink in the Sea King infested waters of the Grand Line, Rayleigh remains completely calm, pushing forward through adversity with no hesitation. And speaking of age, he often comments on it and how his body 'doesn't work the way it used to,' usually right before doing something incredible. Though he often has a serious air, Rayleigh enjoys going with the flow and appearing in unexpected places and in unexpected ways, especially when given his status and age. So, Rayleigh lives out his retirement age embracing the life that made his Captain famous, enjoying every moment for what it's worth with alcohol, women, gambling and good times. Also, with the crew long disbanded and his Captain having faced execution, there really was not anybody around to continue disciplining. Once a rather strict disciplinarian of the Roger Pirates, Silvers Rayleigh has turned his personality around in his older years, figuring that he didn't have too much time left and it would probably be wasted as a hardass. In the past he was shown to have been intolerable to the antics of the younger members arguing, and took the position of crew disciplinarian very seriously. Rayleigh is light hearted, casual and fun loving, much like his captain Gol D.

He also has a silver-colored coat hanging from his shoulders. He currently wears an orange shirt, light-brown spotted bermudas and simple sandals. Regardless of his age, Rayleigh is a muscular man with broad chest and well built body.ĭuring his first appearance in Buggy's flashback, he was seen wearing a t-shirt with an ornately decorated collar, a motif that appeared even in the long coat he wore during the Edd War. He also grew a beard from his initial striped facial hair. Over the years, as his hair whitened, he grew it out. When he was younger, Rayleigh had strawberry blonde hair clean cut, and had a moderate amount of facial hair. If seen without his clothes for some reason however, the old man's body is surprisingly built and very well-toned, a testament to his incredible strength. When out in public, he also seems to enjoy the cover of a large silver hooded cloak, though the hood is often down. In the face of that image though, the Dark King chooses to dress quite simply, usually just in a nearly plain t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. He also has a scar over his right eye, which he has had for many years. Two of Rayleigh's most distinguishing traits are his round glasses and facial hair, which is arranged in a stripe-like pattern across his lower jaw.
