Appearance

The merger produces a hulking figure whose body sits low and broad on stubby legs, with four slender arms sprouting from the trunk. Because he is stitched together from his two source warriors, his outfit borrows the colors and patterns worn by both Chess and Kuromarimo at once. Sanji dismissed the whole thing as nothing more than Kuromarimo perched atop Chess's shoulders, yet Eiichiro Oda has insisted the creature counts as one being rather than two. The non-canon One Piece Party gives him an extra pair of limbs, putting his total at six arms.

Personality

The fused fighter keeps the traits carried over from both halves: he is cold, full of himself, and devoted entirely to Wapol. When he talks, both faces seem to voice the words together using their separate tones, which suggests the two heads share a single mind rather than two.

Abilities

His arsenal is broad, ranging from arrows and large mallets to heavy axes, and the spare set of hands lets him swing twice the weaponry while hitting harder. With Yukidoke no Ya Marimo he looses a pair of huge flaming arrows tipped with afros for added force. His Quatro Hammer bludgeons foes with four wooden mallets, and Quatro Axe arms every hand with a blade, leading into follow-ups like the X-shaped Yukiwariso shockwave and the wild flurry of Happo Yukidaore. He was born when Wapol spat him out and immediately swore to guard his master, then clashed with Chopper. The reindeer downed a Rumble Ball, unlocked new forms, dodged with Jump Point, shielded with Guard Point, smashed the hammers with Arm Point, then used Brain Point to find that Chess's chin was the vulnerable spot, finishing him with Kokutei Roseo. In the non-canon Stampede continuity he was later separated back into his two parts.
