Appearance

The Bezan Black is a simple red and black pirate ship with a black cat as a figurehead, and a pair of ornamental cat claws on the sides. Its hulls on the bottom are green. The keel was torn off by Luffy during the battle.

History

It was the main ship when Kuro was the captain,and later on when Jango took his place he used the same ship. Jango, with his crew, came to Syrup Village with Bezan Black to attack the village and follow Kuro's orders. During the crew's fight against the Straw Hat Pirates the keel was ripped right off by hypnotized Luffy. The crew eventually left Organ Islands on the ship when Luffy defeated Kuro, dragging their unconscious comrades back on board.

Though the figurehead keel was torn off by Luffy, in the anime, a new one was added, albeit not repainted.

Trivia

    In keeping with the cat theme of the pirates, the word "Bezan" is a Persian word; Persian cats are a rare and valuable breed.
