He is a very good digger, as he dug a tunnel connecting Goro's thermal island to Arabasta.

History

Gedatsu's Accidental Blue-Sea Life

While Goro and Gedatsu were digging around for the hot springs, Gedatsu stumbled upon the Dirt Boss. He attempted to attack Gedatsu, but was easily defeated and so became a subordinate of the former sky priest. He then kept digging and succeeded in helping Goro and Gedatsu in finding water underground. Afterwards, he kept digging until he suddenly landed in Arabasta, and with that he created a tunnel that would connect the two islands.

Trivia

• In the anime, Tonjit's grandson Rittonto appears riding a mole strongly resembling the Dirt Boss, but no connection between the two is mentioned.
• In the game Unlimited Cruise, the player can catch moles that look like small versions of the Dirt Boss.
