Skills & Strength
Minatomo is an exceptionally good carpenter and is a master of his own guild.
Past
Minatomo once built Kaidou’s castle on Onigashima. Then, ten years before the current events, in 1514, Minatomo pawned the blueprints to a pawnshop.
Present
After the Straw Hat Pirates’s arrival on Wano Country, Franky joined Minatomo’s carpenter guild under the alias Franosuke in order to obtain the blueprints of Kaidou’s castle on Onigashima. After some time, Minatomo approached Franky about said blueprints. However, to Franky’s annoyance, Minatomo had remembered that he had already pawned the blueprints to a pawnshop ten years ago. Enraged, the cyborg grabbed the carpenter by the collar and the two lashed out at each other. As a consequence for his behavior, Minatomo dismissed Franky from his guild, which he was planning to do anyway.
Later, he was present at the bathhouse when Nami, Robin and Shinobu were also taking a break there.
During the fire festival, Minatomo also celebrated and noted that after this festival, he again could not drink alcohol for a year.
