Big Pan is the half-fishman half-giant rear member of the Groggy Monsters team fielded by the Foxy Pirates. He participates in the Groggy Ring match as one of three massive competitors alongside Hamburg and Pickles. Big Pan is known for his enormous size, slippery mudfish skin, and a series of sliding and slamming attacks that dominate the ring during the second round of the game.

Appearance

Big Pan stands as a colossal half-fishman half-giant whose spotted fishman body fills entire panels with glistening skin and open mouth. He wears spiked shoulder pads along with chain accessories and a visible collar around his neck. His dark spotted torso and round proportions tower over the field while he maintains a wide stance at the rear of the team formation.12

Big Pan's body features circular patterns and dark shading on the torso that emphasize his fish giant proportions. He holds a round ball in one panel while facing forward and later leaps high with arms raised in a spiking pose that reveals a horn on his head.13

Personality

Big Pan exhibits a questioning attitude toward potential challenges by inquiring whether his opponents will prove tougher than anticipated before the match begins. This trait appears when he directly addresses the competition upon entering the field and seeks clarification on game rules such as whether the opponents prefer to start with the ball or select the ring.4

Big Pan shows surprise and a desire for focus during combat by reacting with confusion when interrupted mid-action and urging others to mind their own business. He utters expressions of bewilderment such as "Hm? What are you doing??" and "Hey... Hey... Mind your own business!" when an opponent grabs his leg.5

Abilities and powers

Big Pan possesses extremely slippery mudfish skin that causes opponents to lose footing on contact. Sanji slips helplessly across the surface of Big Pan's arm and continues to lose footing whenever he attempts direct attacks. The mudfish genes keep the skin slippery throughout the match.6

Big Pan performs the TOE PAD DANCE attack while charging and laughing with repeated HISHI sounds. He later executes a named monster burger attack using dual pans that slam together with tremendous force and create a massive shockwave.78

Big Pan leaps into the air aiming a devastating kick with spiked boots and then dives onto his stomach to perform the Loach Scooping Slide. He continues the assault by curving his massive body into a tight circle known as the Racing Circus and finally grabs his own ankles to form an inescapable sliding loop that spins rapidly.9
