Cabaji serves as Buggy's second mate and the crew's swordsman, known for fighting while performing acrobatics on a unicycle. His fighting style is scrappy—he's not above targeting Zoro's existing wounds when they first meet. But the moment Zoro knocks him off that unicycle, it's all over; a single Oni Giri slash to the chest ends the fight.
After Buggy goes down to Luffy, things get chaotic. Cabaji and Mohji, the other first mate, actually fight each other for the captain's spot, only to get demolished by a sleepwalking Richie (Mohji's lion), who somehow becomes captain before immediately losing the position. Cabaji eventually returns to his old role when Buggy regroups.
He shows up again during the Loguetown arc alongside Buggy and Alvida to take on the Straw Hats and Navy. Fans often note he never actually gets that rematch with Zoro he wanted, despite being there.
