[edit] Appearence
Richie is a large lion, who has green fur with a purple mane. He normally appears to show a fierce expression during fights and confrontations. He is however not foreign to also show a goofy one when he is not doing anything.
[edit] Personality
Despite his size and fierce look he mostly acts like a kitten and has his goofy moments when he is doing nothing. He also isn't very bright and occasionally thinks about nothing but food.
[edit] History
[edit] Present Story
He is first seen during the Buggy Arc early on in the series, where he and Mohji beat up Chou-Chou the dog. They are then beaten up by Luffy and knocked unconscious. When they finally do come round they once again get caught up with Luffy resulting in Richie being used as a shield by Cabaji.
The most notable role he has played was during Buggy's mini-series. During the fight between Cabaji and Mohji over who should be captain, Richie fell asleep and dreamed about being captain himself and fighting a dragon. He beat up Cabaji and Mohji while sleep walking and was declared Captain, however he and the rest of the Buggy pirates got captured by the Kumate Tribe. But, Luckily, Buggy and Alvida manages to save them by defeating the cannibalistic crew.
[edit] Current Events
Richie was last seen in the background (picking his nose) during the Jaya Arc, when Ace hopped on board Buggy's ship. While it is not shown, Ace apparently gets Richie to jump through a hoop of fire.
