History[]
Past[]
Ten years ago, Rittonto and his grandfather were seen talking. Tonjit introduced Rittonto to a mole whom the boy made a bond with. He told his grandson that he would be starting his world record for longest time on stilts and that the mole can keep him company while he is gone.[3]
Later, the village was leaving their current area and were going to leave Shelly behind since she wanted to wait for Tonjit. Rittonto announced that he wanted to wait as well, but the village chief made him join the rest of the villagers in their travels. He vowed to find his grandfather someday.[1]
At some point, Rittonto became a hole digger to cope with his loneliness. Surprisingly, digging with his pet mole and pursuing the world record for hole digging turned his loneliness into passion and drive.
Long Ring Long Land Arc[]
Rittonto first appeared when his mole came out of the ground and destroyed Tonjit's house. The Straw Hat Pirates first thought he was a mole, then, after he revealed himself, accused him.[2] When he and Tonjit realized who the other was, they both burst into tears. Rittonto told the pirates and his grandfather about how he became a hole digger. He also helped his grandfather escape Long Ring Long Land with the help of his mole.[4]
Trivia[]
- Rittonto and his mole were possibly inspired by the Dirt Boss, from the manga-exclusive Gedatsu's Accidental Blue-Sea Life cover arc.
