But the two are very friendly towards eachother, often laughing and joking. But they can turn the "serious" switch on at any given time when the order is given. He is fiercly loyal to Admiral Lyra Knewman and has devoted his life as a Drum Island Marine.

As apart of the 100th Marine Branches' project J, several Zoan type Devil Fruits were collected and given to a select few soldiers. Nigel was given the Cat Cat Fruit, Lion Model which allows him to transform himself into a Lion. This gave Nigel his nickname as "Simba". (シンバShinba, literally meaning "Lion" in swahili).

This gives Nigel incredible speed and strength, as well as a pair of claws and sharp teeth for slashing and tearing. His senses and instincts are greatly increased to match and even exceed that of the king of the jungle. Even in his human form, Nigel claims that his animal instincts influence him.

Frozen Faceoff Arc
Stationed at Drum Island, when the Red Wing Pirates invaded to free their Captain Clive, Kong and Simba were deployed to stop their infiltration. Nigel and Kingsley discovered one of the pirates by the name of Gajeel trying to blow up the prison walls in order to get into the base. They confronted him and battled him, nearly besting the infamous Pirates before his allies joined the battle. Simba isolated himself in battle with Squall, another infamous pirate who commands the powers of light. Simba somewhat struggled against Squall but overpowered him with pure brute strength, crushing Halo Brawl's ribs during their fight. Before Simba could finish Squall off he was caught off guard by Gajeel who sent both Nigel and Kong flying in one move.
