[edit] Romance Dawn Galley
In the very first version of Romance Dawn is the main villain that Luffy fights against. He appears to be a prototype for Buggy the Clown. He also appears in an anime adaptation of the first version of Romance Dawn.[1][2] He was voiced by Rikiya Koyama.
[edit] Appearance
Galley is a middle aged pirate whose distinguishing aspect is his crescent moon shaped mustache. He wears a typical pirate captain's attire. Though of average height, he is slightly stocky in physique.
In the anime remake, Galley is an orange haired pirate. Along with his trademark mustache, he also sports a crescent moon shaped beard. Overall, he looks like a younger version of the other Galley that appeared in the anime.
[edit] History
In Romance Dawn V.1, Galley is a famous Morgaina pirate who is known for his crescent mustache. He is apparently very powerful, being one of the "Big Three" pirates. However compared to Monkey D. Luffy, he is very weak.
Luffy first spots Galley's ship and decides to take it over so he won't have to sail in his dinghy. He defeats Galley's crew with ease and ties them up. The ship then lands at Silk's hometown and Galley escapes and his men escape and try to take revenge on Luffy. Luffy frightens them when they learn he is a Rubberman and they run away after. Luffy is then tied up by the townspeople, who think he is Galley. Galley then takes Luffy hostage and steals the town's treasure. He then enrages Luffy by smashing his hat, and gets Luffy thrown into the ocean. Luffy is then saved by Silk and uses Gomu Gomu no Axe to destroy Galley's ship. A livid Galley swears revenge.
Galley is seen years later as a crewmember aboard Luffy's pirate ship, and tells him that land has been spotted. It seems that his encounter with Luffy changed him from a Morgaina pirate to a Peace Maine since Luffy said he wanted a crew made up of only Peace Maines.
[edit] Anime Galley
In the anime version of the Loguetown arc, there he is an elderly pirate called Galley of the Crescent Moon (三日月のギャリー, Mikazuki No Gyarii) who has a bounty of 
3,450,000.[3] He is clearly based on the Romance Dawn Galley both in his design and his Jolly Roger. However, though based on the Romance Dawn Galley, his appearance is stark contrast to the original. Apart from being older, this Galley is a tall lanky pirate that wears a unique looking tricorne. The middle corner of the hat is curved downward in a way that it resembles the top half of a crescent moon when seen in conjunction with Galley's beard.
He and his crew are seen raiding buildings at Loguetown before being captured by Captain Smoker.[4]
[edit] Trivia
- In the first version of Romance Dawn, Galley is said to be part of the Big Three. This term and concept of a group of famous individual pirate captains, appears to be a prototype for the Yonkou that appears in the manga and anime proper.
- A pirate that looks like Poppoko from the Alvida Pirates appears as one of Galley's crewmembers in the first version of Romance Dawn. Poppoko also appears as a member of the Anime Galley.
