Bepo, who was 8 years old, climbed down Zunesha's leg to gain a better view of the water because he wanted to follow his elder brother Zepo, but he washed away. Later, he boarded a vessel bound for the North Blue.
Two boys named Shachi and Penguin tormented Bepo on Swallow Island but Trafalgar Law intervened and used his Devil Fruit abilities to knock out Shachi and Penguin. The Heart Pirates were established by Law, Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin. Bepo became the group's navigator after studying navigation to find his way back to Zou.
Bepo has a tendency to feel down and apologises whenever someone mentions that he is a talking bear. Generally, Bepo is accused of having a weak will by the Heart Pirates. Ironically, he survived a blast of Haoshoku Haki from Rayleigh, which can only be achieved by people with powerful wills. People who don't know him refer to him as meek.
In the anime, he is depicted as loathing warm surroundings, perhaps due to his thick fur and the jumpsuit he wears, as he expressed this dislike while the Heart Pirates' submarine got close to an underwater volcanic region. Bepo appreciates General Franky like other male characters do when they view robots. He can occasionally act foolishly, like eating a fish from a poisonous river.
Bepo sports an orange jumpsuit with the cheery roger of the Heart Pirates. He also has sharp jaws and claws and little brown boots. He is far taller than the average person and is the height of a typical bear. He had short fur and no hair but a topknot in Wano Country. He also wore a yukata that featured fish surrounding the cheery Roger from the Heart Pirates.
Bepo has the maritime experience necessary to be the Heart Pirates' navigator. Although his level of expertise is not yet known, he is expected to be reasonably competent in navigating the Grand Line. It's odd that despite his profession, he is not shown wearing a Log Pose, which is necessary for Grand Line navigation.
He also possesses cartographic expertise because he created the Dressrosa and Green Bit map Law gave to the Straw Hats. He does seem a little disorganised. Bepo has a strong will and can endure a Haki blast from strong Haki wielders.
He also has exceptional hearing, which allows him to swiftly identify snipers and their precise locations by listening for the moment of impact. He is a fantastic swimmer and can go at incredible speeds at sea, just like the animal on which he is based.
Bepo is a natural warrior like all other minks. It can be assumed that he can use Electro even though he hasn't demonstrated that ability yet. He combines his combat prowess with his better physical capabilities as a mink to become a brilliant martial artist.
Bepo can activate the Sulong transformation when looking at the full moon. His fighting prowess, size, speed, and strength are all enhanced in this form. Bepo also has access to a unique medicine created by Chopper that enables him to change at any time without looking at the full moon. This gives him instant access to the Sulong's power.
Law and Bepo have a very deep bond because they first met on Swallow Island when they were young. Law also stood up for the bear mink when Shachi and Penguin tormented him. Bepo pledged loyalty to Law out of respect and admiration, joining the Heart Pirates as one of its founding members and acting as crew's navigator.
At first when Bepo met Shachi and Penguin at Swallow Island, he was bullied by the two of them. Later, the three of them joined Law and became the Heart Pirates’ founding members.
Zepo was Bepo’s older brother and they grew up together in Zou. However, at the age of 8, Bepo lost his way chasing after his brother. Zepo was killed by Big Mom a few years ago after spinning the latter’s Soul Pocus roulette.
