Jango

"Double-Crosser" Jango is a hypnotist and Marine seaman recruit under Rear Admiral Hina. He was formerly the Captain of the Black Cat Pirates and Captain Kuro's first mate.

Due to his actions, Jango can be considered the secondary antagonist of the Syrup Village Arc. He is also the protagonist of the Jango's Dance Paradise Cover Page Serial.

Abilities and Powers
Having been a prominent member of the Black Cat Pirates for several years, Jango is decently athletic and possesses some combat ability. In melee, he has been seen using long, exaggerated kicks not unlike dance moves.

Even by East Blue standards, however, Jango is not particularly formidable; notably, it took Usopp only one Gunpowder Star to fell him. It is unknown what (if any) improvements he has made as a Marine, as during the Battle of Marineford, he proved weak-willed enough to succumb to Luffy's burst of Haoshoku Haki.

Hypnotism
Jango can influence and control others through his hypnosis, as long as he makes them watch the swinging of his pendulum and listen to his command phrase One, Two, Jango (ワン・ツー・ジャンゴ Wan, Tsū, Jango?). When successful, this has proven a quick and easy method of incapacitating enemies (usually via commands to fall asleep) as well as aiding allies (via commands to tap into subconscious reserves of strength).

However, his hypnosis is largely useless against anyone aware of its dangers, as even Kaya was able to protect herself simply by closing her eyes. Conversely, Jango himself often forgets to close (or drop his hat-brim in front of) his eyes when issuing commands, resulting in frequent and embarrassing episodes of self-hypnosis.

In any case, the full capacity of his hypnosis is unknown, as most of his successful commands were rudimentary, and performed on either the simpleminded (e.g. himself, Luffy) or willing subjects (e.g. his subordinates). His initial meeting with Fullbody, however, implied that he could manage something as complex as erasing all memory of an individual (i.e. himself) from another's mind.

Weapons
The pendulum that Jango uses to perform his hypnosis is, in fact, a chakram (チャクラム Chakuramu?) on a string. It is made of sturdy metal, with an edge sharp enough to cut through tree trunks in one swing; Jango can wield it in one hand, spin it on a forefinger, or fling it as a projectile. He also makes sure to carry several spares in case something happens to the first.
