Ran is a Kuja pirate and one of the crew's more knowledgeable and prominent members. She's best known for being the first to make contact with Momonga when he arrived on the island.
Among the Kuja, Ran serves as something of an authority figure. She's the one who filled in younger amazons on the real story behind Hancock's petrification ability and explained why outsiders were forbidden from the castle during bathing hours. During the Arena battles, she quickly identified Luffy's Haoushoku Haki and recognized his exceptional strength the moment he took down Bacura in a single hit. When news of Ace's execution arrived, it was Ran who passed the newspaper along to Elder Nyon.
Fans often note her prominent role in the post-tournament celebrations—she was there to welcome back a de-petrified Marguerite and joined in the festivities with the rest of the crew. By the end of Luffy's visit, Ran had become close enough to say goodbye personally as Hancock and Luffy boarded Momonga's ship, and she made a point of promising to help look after their country while they were away.
