History

Romance Dawn Arc

Monkey D. Luffy and Zoro defeated Morgan. Ripper led the platoon to Rika’s house to ask Luffy and Zoro questions. Once Luffy confirmed they were pirates, Ripper told them to leave town because as Marines, they could not let pirates run freely and were obligated to report it to the Headquarters. He acknowledged that they saved them all from Morgan’s tyranny and allowed them to leave quietly.

When he asks Koby why he is not leaving and questions about his relationship with the pirates, Luffy punches Koby and says they do not like each other. Ripper determines he is not with them and allows him to join the Marines. He tells Koby that as he was seen as a pirate because of his past, he’ll be allowed to enter but as a chore boy. To Koby’s surprise, Ripper tells the Marines to salute the pirates and means to Koby that he has good friends. This showed that Ripper knew that he and Luffy were friends. Ripper later punished the Marines by not giving them food for a week as they had violated the Marine code by saluting pirates.

Diary of Koby-Meppo

Ripper is seen escorting Morgan and handing him to Vice Admiral Garp for a court-martial. But in the end, Morgan escaped by slicing Garp and holding Helmeppo hostage.
