Spoiler note: This character guide discusses Black Maria and their role in One Piece. Some story context may be mentioned, but major late-series twists are kept limited where possible.

Who Is Black Maria?

Black Maria is one of the Tobiroppo, the strongest six Shinuchi of the Beasts Pirates. She owned her own brothel on Onigashima near Kaidou 's castle. Due to her actions and role, she is a supporting antagonist in the Wano Country Arc. Black Maria is a youthful woman of incredible size by human standards, yet still well-proportioned and slender.

Black Maria’s Role in One Piece

She is 8.2 meters tall, being slightly larger than Kaidou himself. Her long blonde hair is styled like a geisha's, with two swords notably being part of its arrangement. Her eyes are sky blue, and a strand of hair tends to dangle in front of her left eye.

Personality, Abilities, and Story Impact

She has a pair of long, slightly curved red horns atop her head, wears prominent lipstick, and carries a long smoking pipe. She wears a low-cut, black kimono that leaves her shoulders and cleavage exposed and a turquoise obi around her waist, both with blue and yellow floral patterns. Her footwear are two black Zōri with red Hanao (straps) and white tabi (socks).
