Olba

Olba (オルバ, Oruba) is a former Pirate, and prominent member of Aum Madaura’s Crew. When the crew was captured, he, along with his companions, were sent to Sindria, where he currently resides.

Appearance
Olba is a small and thin boy. He has dark and disheveled hair, tied in a long pony-tail. He has the right side of his head shaved. In his left ear, he has an earring, whose form is that of a chain ended in a spike. He has several tribal-style tattoos, three in his head and two in his abdominal. He has no right hand, and in its place he had his Magic Tool, Ala Rasars. He wears a robe that covers his shoulders, and a fur skirt. He also wears high boots. All of Aum Madaura's pirates have a viking style to their appearance.

Personality
Olba is extremely loyal to Aum Madaura, the person he thinks he owes his life to. He's kind with his "little brothers", and always played with the youngest with a smile. All Aum Madaura's pirates rely and depend on him, despite Olba not being the oldest, and he seems to have some sense of leadership.

Even if he's a good companion, he has no problems with attacking, robbing and kidnapping, and he had no mercy to Aum Madaura's enemies. Even though, all of this could be because of Aum Madaura's brain-washing.

He's been showed to be thankful, since he thanked Alibaba when the latter managed to spare the pirates' life, and offered to serve him.

History
A little is known about Olba's past but, he, like many of his fellow pirates, were children collected by Aum Madaura in order to be part of her crew. He said he was saved by her when he was a child in poverty, but since Aum Madaura kidnapped children and brain-washed them, it's probably true that Olba was kidnapped too.

Pirates Arc
Olba is seen next to Aum Madaura playing with some of his "little brothers" in a village his companions are looting. Two crew members come in and inform Aum Madaura that a big ship is near. She asks what they should do, as this is quite troubling.

The ship is the one Aladdin, Alibaba, Hakuryuu and Morgiana are traveling on. Morgiana looks toward the shore and says that the village is burning. Olba rises from the ocean inside of a gravity bubble, and says that she has good eyes. Aladdin and Morgiana wonder how he's flying. A little kid comes from behind Olba, and he tells it to hold and that he'll be done in a moment. He tells everyone that this is a good ship, and he's it's loaded with good stuff. He tells them to give everything to me. When they ask him who is he, he uses his Magic Tool to make ships emerge from the sea, and answers, with a sadistic smile, that they are pirates. The pirates start to board the ship. When the people on the ship asks who they are, an old man says those are Aum Madaura’s ships. The pirates take the top off their swords an reveal their Magic Tools, Sharrar Rasars. Aladdin, Hakuryuu, Morgiana, and Alibaba begin to counterattack, which makes the pirates ask for Olba's help.

Olba call them pathetic, and asks if they call themselves children of Aum Madaura. One pirate apologizes and Olba pats him on the head and tells him to move. He looks at Aladdin and asks him how old he is. Olba then disregards his question and says that it doesn't change the fact that Aladdin's a magician who's getting in Aum Madaura's way. Olba raises his hook in the air, which comes off and reveals his Magic Tool, Ala Rasars. He forms a huge shell around the 4 person group. He lifts them into the air, with them wondering what this is. He lifts them over the ocean and pops the shell. As they fall in, Morgiana tries to grab unto the ship using the chains of her Household Vessel, Amol Selseira, but a couple pirates shoot her down. Olba bids them a farewell, then asks a couple pirates of they got the cargo, and they answered yes. Then, plant vines start to wrap around one of their arms, and tree branches start to appear from the ocean.

The branches bring out Alibaba, Aladdin, and Morgiana from the ocean. The branches come from Hakuryuu. He forms some of them around his arm, and says its his turn to fight. The pirates are all questioning what happened to Hakuryuu's arm. Olba tells them to not be scared, and to make themselves worthy of Aum Madaura's name. They attack Hakuryuu with their Magic Tools, but he slices threw their attacks. Olba is surprised, and he tells them to not falter and for all of them to attack together. All of the pirates point their Magic Tools at Hakuryuu, but he attacks first. Hakuryuu uses Zaug Movalezo, which summons dragon-like creatures that bite some of the pirates. Before he attacks again, Olba tells him to stop. Olba and a couple of the pirates have a couple men held at sword-point. Olba says if they try anything else, then they'll see the guy's head fly off. Aladdin and Alibaba step back, and Olba says says that they should be good, an let them have the cargo. After they get the cargo, Olba lowers the ships into the ocean.

They arrive at their pirate base, a fortress, where Aum Madaura is waiting. The pirates make a banquet, and Aum Madaura praises Olba for his good job. Then Aladdin's group arrives, because they want to save the kidnapped children. Olba tells Burol to attack them, and all pirates shoot with their magic tools, but Aladdin uses his Har-Har Rasars and counteracts their offensive. Olba orders Alon, Yon and Byouk to jump, and wraps them with his Ala Rasars, from where they attack again Alibaba and company. The pirates get into holes in their fortress from which they can attack without being hit, but Morgiana hunts them. After that, Olba and his friends are captured.

Aum Madaura then intervenes and attacks Alibaba and his group with more magic tools, but they manage to survive. When Aladdin and the others reach where Aum Madaura is, Olba is with some other pirates wielding a sword, in order to protect her. When her Holy Mother Halo Fan is useless against the protagonists except for Hakuryuu, Olba leads the pirates to fight them. While Alibaba and Hakuryuu are fighting, Olba helps Aum Madaura to escape, but they are captured by Aktia's Kingdom army.

When Hakuryuu kills Aum Madaura, Olba's in shock state manages to get rid of the ropes that bind him, and attacks Hakuryuu with fury. He fails, and Hakuryuu coldly tells him that there's no reason to be sad since he and the other pirates were mere tools to Aum Madaura, that they were not loved since the beginning. Olba watches for a last time the corpse of his deceased "mother" and begins to fall into depravity.

Alibaba talks with Aktia's soldiers and convinces them to let the pirates go to Sindria. Then Alibaba approaches Olba, and tells him to be strong since now all the other pirates depend on him. Olba's Rukh becomes white again and departs with his "little brothers" to Sindria, thanking Alibaba and swearing that he will never forgive Hakuryuu.

Abilities
Olba (and the other "children" of Aum Madaura) has a little more Magoi than average people. He say's he's sure about that because he saw Aum Madaura using a Magic Tool to examine their Magoi quantity.

Magic Tools
Ala Rasars (Floating Shell)
 * It is a Magic Tool that Olba uses. It uses Gravity Magic to create a ball that can make things float. The ball can be used on oneself or on others.

Aum Madaura
Olba was extremely loyal to Aum Madaura, whom he saw and loved as his real mother. He performed without hesitating any order she gave him.

Aum Madaura’s Crew
Despite not being the oldest, he was considered the "big brother" of Aum Madaura's children, and all the pirates love and respect him. Olba sees them as his family and protects them, and is very kind with the youngest.

Alibaba Saluja
Alibaba saved Olba and the other pirates from death (and falling into depravity), sending them to Sindria. Because of that, Olba is very grateful to Alibaba, and even offered to serve him. Also, he thinks he's a strange person.

Hakuryuu Ren
Olba deeply hates Hakuryuu for killing Aum Madaura, and said that he cannot forgive him for that.

Trivia

 * The name "Olba" is possibly a play on of the word "Heart, core, within" قلب in Arabic (pronounced: kulb in Quranic Arabic, pronounced Olb in Eastern Arabic, the "a" at the end of the name makes the name translate literally into "Her Heart" or "Within her") possibly referencing Olba's ability to put himself within a bubble. Maybe can be reference of Olba being the "core" of the pirates, since he was the "older brother" of the crew.
