Tonjit (トンジット) belongs to the nomads residing on Longring Longland. He was stuck on a pair of extremely tall stilts for ten years, which led to his separation from the other nomads. Once the Straw Hat Pirates lowered him, he expressed regret that he could not reach the rest of the nomads due to the high tides, yet he was still reunited with his long horse, or hooorse, Shelly. Foxy later captured Shelly, triggering the Davy Back Fight. After Luffy ultimately defeated Foxy, Aokiji arrived and employed his Devil Fruit abilities to freeze all the water on the island for a week, enabling Tonjit to ride Shelly across the water to join his clan. In the anime, Tonjit's grandson emerged from the ground instead of Aokiji, riding a mule that provided Tonjit with transport. Tonjit's attire, nomadic way of life, his horse, and his residence in a yurt seem to draw from the lifestyles of Central Asian nomadic peoples (particularly Mongolia.)
