Perona / ペローナ

One of the Four Enigmas of Thriller Bark, Perona is the controller of the Negative Ghosts, which, upon contact with a person, temporarily saps their will to live. Though she appears gothic, she likes cute things, so she's always mean to Kumacy who has a quiet voice, a quality she finds uncute.

Perona's distinctive laugh is "horo", which is also the same sound the Negative Ghosts make.

Background

With the completion of Zombie #900, Perona felt that her kingdom of dreams will soon become a reality. It was the creation of a place where all the cute creatures of the world are turned into her personal obedient zombies.

Perona's Wonder Garden

A section of Thriller Bark consists of an area called Perona's Wonder Garden. It's a huge leafed area which is where most, if not all of the Wild Zombies reside. It may have been inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Abilities

The Straw Hats have had their will to live sapped by the Negative Ghosts many times but there was one person who could resist their psychological effects... and this person claimed to be the most negative person ever. A hint: He has a long nose.

Through astral projection, she can separate her ghostly hollow from her body. This ghostly figure cannot be harmed, but in the same way she can't physically touch anything. She can fly, change size, and pass through objects. Perona is still able to create Negative Ghosts and Mini-Horo Ghosts in this form, which becomes a deadly tactic if her real body is tucked away in safety. In this sense, her real body is a huge weakness.

Perona's greatest weakness which possibly surpasses the problem with her unguarded body is her fear of cockroaches. She can get very frightened easily by other situations which produce a similar level of fear.

Encounter with Bartholomew

While packing up to steal the Thousand Sunny, Perona met Bartholomew Kuma, a Seven Armed Sea. She was the first who experienced his power, when Bartholomew asked where she wanted to go if she had the power to.

Her current location is unknown, but it's assumed she was teleported to a place where she wanted to be.
