Henry is a tall chap with a lean body (exactly like this guy: CLICK HERE ) that hides his monstrous strength and speed. He has blue eyes and an average wide nose which although broken is rarely taken notice of as it somehow blends with his face well and only a few people could just see him and deduce that he has a broken nose. Henry has a buzz cut light brown hair and a stubble which is not much at all in his moustache area yet a more than usual underneath his chin which also compiles to his fascinating charm.

History:
Henry Lansbury was born to a workaholic father and a gentle motivator mother. The family was normally-rich and Henry's childhood was mostly spent sporting and working. He had been training professional box from the age of 7 and showed immense potential in it as he was winning silverware like it was nothing, this of course attracted attention to evil-hearted and jealous people who always lost in bets and so they united with most families which had their child lose to Henry and the hatred was channelled into a fight. It happened after Lansbury won the East Blue title for a second time at the age of 11. He was attacked by a crowd of people and was heavily injured and was ruled out of boxing for two years.
For those two years his attention went idle and he was off the media but along those two years everyone thought he was barely recovering, rather than that he was quickly recovering and twice as much as usual training. In his training he also included an illegal street fighting lesson from a shady dealer at the capital of Lansbury's island.
After the two years had passed he went on the stage again back, expected to lose by most pundits due to his injuries, but they were proven wrong as he one-hit his first opponent into K.O.

Lansbury was back as twice as strong as he was before his injuries.

His streak went high again and he won the island's title, the next year he was able to win both the regional and the East Blue island and the year after he had qualified for the Four-Blue Champion Competition (junior). It was the competition that was nominated as the best after the hardest competition which was World Boxing Champion. The one who won the World Boxing Champion he would be number one boxer of all time, while the one of the Four-Blue would make him the number one of all Blues but of course this was the junior competition for his own age category.
So now he was fifteen and he was knocking out contenders for the Four-blue title easily until he went on the final where the haters decided to make another trap for him. A crowd of people had emerged right before the match attacking him but his street fighting skills showed great as he defeated the whole fifteen people easily. Lansbury was probably the only one in the world that was able to successfully mix street fighting with boxing to create a monstrous and lethal fighting style.
The haters did not stop there, they were able to snuck in Lansbury's final opponent steel plates inside the gloves of his opponent. Henry was being beaten down brutally and he finally realized something was not right.
Lansbury knew that the ref would disqualify him if he made some street fighting moves but Henry was fully able to conceal his street moves behind his boxing ones. The top boxer who was known mostly for his speed deceived the eye and was able to land crucial and bone breaking hits on the opponents joints. When he immobilized the opponent who screamed from pain the quick hitter Henry landed a K.O hook knocking out the opponent from his pains.

Henry became number one boxer of the junior middleweight champions and also had a great record in his past. 170 matches / 11 lost

But from the age of fifteen he also began working more due to his father urging him to continue his father's bar business and so he was taken in as a bartender where he trained a lot to master this new "style" which was really hard. He worked happily and trained often while not participating into any competitions at all. For one year he proved to be also a great bartender making cocktails of his own and using his quick hands he was able to serve tons of people at once, in his free time he also taught street fighting to his fellow boxing team which he had been together since the age of 7 but as time passed people changed and unfortunately Henry was not able to see the change in his boxing team who had turned out to be great abusers.
At the age of sixteen his boxing team, excluding him, had raided a village and beat down heavily it's villagers using the street fighting techniques, some of the injuries were coma and much more but the boxing team was caught and they blamed Henry for teaching them.
The World Government sent the boxing team for eternal exile in a working camp somewhere in East Blue (same thing where Robin was), while he was sentenced for six years in jail.
His father and mother totally lost trust in him and left him.

Lansbury was all alone.

But Henry was a good boy and a good man (now), he behaved well and did not let into his emotions which were totally locked in a cage in his heart after the shock he had went through. Due to his behaviour he was freed at the age of twenty, only four years in prison.
When he saw the light shine down on his face as he was dragged out of the prison he could feel all the attention and fame gone, he was just a phantasm in the past, a number one only a few remembered. Lansbury was all alone and free.
As part of the programme he was commissioned to a tourist liner which actually worked in the Grand Line. Due to his skills as a boxer and a street fighter he was at first proposed to be bodyguard of the tourist company chief with a very high payment and fully secured yet Henry rejected stating he did not want to fight and be part of fights again as much as he can and stated he abhorred violence although he loved boxing as it was a sport.
Instead he was made a bartender on one of the liners with a lower salary.
Now aged twenty and a half he lived his monotone life on the ship and in his party nights he was the soul of women as he had became a magnet to women somehow but in his lonely nights he dreamed of participating in the World Boxing Champion Heavyweight once before he died.

Personality:
-Good: Yeah, he's good. No really, he is. Something we lack in modern days is a good guy who often gets used by the bad guys for their dirty deeds.
-Silent: Henry is a silent man who doesn't speak often and prefers keeping to himself due to his exile in prison which he had no guilt in and was betrayed by his pseudo friends and left by his family. Lansbury is more of a listener than anything else though he can socialize and communicate quite easily with people.
-Woman magnet: Though Henry isn't a perverted whack he seems to attract woman like cheese attracts mice. He is constantly overrun by women and the shyer once just blush a lot. Of course this does not include women who are truly in love with their fiances or friends or whatever although many married or engaged are often attracted by him due to them not being truly in love with their fiance/husband.
-Optimistic: Lansbury is an optimistic fellow despite his silence and his way of showing optimism is not equivalent to jumping in the air with a sparkling smile rather he would simply state they would make it in a neutral tone and sometimes a slight smile.
-Ambitious & Self-Giving: Not only is Henry greatly ambitious in improving both his fighting and bartender skills due to his father's workaholic trait, but he is also very ambitious into succeeding to what he is doing and in his goal. Lansbury has a huge work rate and always gives his self away without rest just to succeed in what he is doing.
-Restless/Endless Stamina: Henry has an endless amount of energy in his blood and you can see him working and training 24/7 without stopping. He has often not slept for two days on the liner due to parties and afterparties and training and cleaning up his bar and preparing his bar. In his boxing fights he also showed his great fighting spirit that seemed to regenerate his stamina constantly.

Ship: A small ship made out of dark, reddish brown wood. It doesn't have cannons, or anything to attack with, but quite beatiful, even though small carvings on the sides and mast. It's sails are plain white.

Ship Flag: A white flag with a black skull partly obscured by what seems to be fog or mist, which melts into the white background.

Devil Fruit: None

Special Abilities:
-Super-human strength: He has one yet not fully unlocked and quite not into the average stage either yet he is quickly developing
-Speed: He might not have an inhuman speed,yet, but he has one with his hands and with his feet to some degree. His reflexes either are quite remarkable as he can keep intact with very very fast opponents.
-Endless Stamina: Self-Explanatory, wait don't get it like a video game, it's more of an expression.
-Street Fighting and Boxing: Both together and both alone, he has sharpened his skills greatly and is able to take on even the scariest opponents. Combining them into his custom style he is able to keep in par with the beasts of the grand line.

Learned Techniques:
Three Boxing Styles: Inside Fighting (Advanced), Outside Fighting (Expert), Swarmer (Very Advanced), Counter Puncher (Master)
All kind of boxing attacks and defences along with strategies

-Whirlwind: Using his brass knuckle he would send forward a straight punch letting out his power in the form of a straight forward current of air which takes the form of a twirling wind which can push away and hurt the opponent/s
-Eastern Whirlwind: This is a more advanced and only in special cases used technique. It is like the Whirlwind but in here he would focus a lot more power and send out a huge whirlwind of air this time not straight forward but coming from all angles. Resembles the Arabesque Tile True Punch.

Weapons/Items: One brass knuckle made of aluminium. (Rarely used, only in hard cases)

Spoiler:

Goals: Find The Encyclopaedia of Bartenders which is said to be somewhere in the grand line and other rumours state to be at the end of the Grand Line.
Secretly: Participate into the World Boxing Champion heavyweight for once before he dies.
