Impact Rating: 2.0/10

Strengths:

  • Contributes to the establishment of the Alvida Pirates as a threat.
  • Adds comedic value through his exaggerated reactions and fear of Luffy.
  • Helps to highlight Luffy’s strength by serving as an easily overpowered adversary.

Weaknesses:

  • Lacks individual significance, as his role is limited to a minor supportive capacity.
  • No substantial character development or unique traits that distinguish him from other crew members.
  • Limited screen time and involvement in the main plot, making his presence easily overshadowed by more prominent characters like Luffy, Koby, and Alvida.

Final Verdict: Peppoko plays a supporting role with minimal impact on the overall narrative. His primary function is to serve as comedic relief and to demonstrate the fearsome reputation of Luffy. While he helps to set the tone of the episode and enhance the portrayal of the Alvida Pirates, his individual contribution to the storyline is negligible, earning him a low impact rating of 2.0/10.
