Blackback

Blackback, better known by his initials BB, is a gorilla mink and a guardian of the Whale Forest. Blackback is a large minkman with gorilla-like features. He is very thickset and has an afro. He also appears to wear a suit. Blackback is a loyal guardian and will attack any intruder. He does not like it when someone jumps into someone else's fight, as shown when he punched away Jean Bart after the latter tried to break up Luffy's and Roddy's fight. Like a stereotypical monkey, he loves bananas.

Blackback has significant physical strength, as he easily blew Jean Bart away with one punch while being injured (although Jean Bart was heavily injured as well), a feat which shocked the other members of the Heart Pirates. When Luffy entered the Whale Forest, Roddy and Blackback attacked him despite Bepo's assurance that he was a friend. As Luffy clashed with Roddy, Blackback wondered why Roddy's Electro did not work on Luffy, and when Jean Bart attempted to break up the fight, Blackback punched him away. Wanda and Carrot then came and pacified Blackback with bananas, as he was told to retreat.
