General Gasparde is a former Marine turned pirate, and captain of the Gasparde Pirates. His treason towards the World Government earned him a bounty of Beli 95,000,000.
Gasparde does not hold any form of camaraderie nor loyalty, having betrayed the Marines to satisfy his own desires while referring members of his pirate crew as underlings. Contrary to what one member said of how Gasparde would not stand by when his crew members are offended, Gasparde refuses to acknowledge those who failed him as members of his crew and literally tossing them away like garbage, while forcing surviving victims of his pillages to join his crew as laborers. Gasparde also claimed that power was everything and seemed to enjoy cheating and deceiving others in order to win, while defecting from the Marines simply to satisfy his hunger for power.
Gasparde claimed that he hated the sea, but with power he could rule it all. He scoffs at the idea of One Piece and dreams in general, similar to those of the Bellamy Pirates. He also seems to have no sense of adventure nor fair sportsmanship, as he participated in the rigged Dead End Race several times in order to cure his boredom. In fact, as Luffy points out near the end of their fight he is basically a person playing pirate, using the word in title only and having no idea what the true meaning of being a real pirate is.
He also seems to have knowledge of Shanks as he recognized Luffy's straw hat, which he stabbed through, in order to mock Luffy.
Gasparde and his crew were strong enough to defeat the fish-man Willy (a former rival of Arlong) and his crew, but it's unknown if he used his Devil Fruit powers during that confrontation. However, Gasparde did show immense physical strength as he pummeled Luffy with enough force to hurt the rubber man, and threw him a great distance.
Gasparde did win every Dead End Race that he and his crew participated, and though he did so unfairly via rigging, it showcases his strategic intelligence and proficiency in deceiving many pirate crews and Marines alike.
Gasparde has eaten the Ame Ame no Mi, a peculiar Logia-type Devil Fruit giving him the ability to turn any part of his body into candy syrup. It also allows him to make weapons on his own body from the parts turned to candy syrup, entrap his foes with the adhesiveness, as well as imitate the Gomu Gomu no Mi's power of elasticity. This fruit's power is unique among Logia class, as it allows Gasparde to control the element in both semi-liquid and solid form.
While flour negates Gasparde's powers, he also apparently has not completely mastered the power of his Devil Fruit, such as when Luffy injured Gasparde's face after catching him offguard for stabbing his hat, or when Luffy threw a mast of the Salamander through his back, he claimed that it hurt.
