The Hyena Three, made up of Danny, Denny, and Donny, are a trio of pirate flunkies who serve the chief villains of One Piece's first two films. Their loyalty shifts from Eldoraggo to the Trump Siblings, but a shared dread of Luffy keeps them on the run.
Danny ties his purple hair into a stubby topknot, has a notably large nose, and dresses in a striped yellow shirt under a blue vest, paired with short polka-dotted blue jeans, a blue sash, plain black shoes, and round sunglasses perched on his head. Denny sports fuzzy black hair with a disco flair plus a matching goatee on a square, big-nosed face, wearing pink disco attire trimmed in white, a purple sash, and white shoes. Donny parts his short pink hair to either side to bare his forehead and turns out in a casino-style suit with a bow tie, an open black jacket marked with hot-spring symbols, gray trousers, a red sash, and black shoes. While serving the Trump Siblings, the three don oversized playing-card costumes to suit that crew's motif.
Around allies the trio carry themselves with confidence, yet a streak of cowardice runs through them. Once their captain Eldoraggo fell to Luffy, terror set in, and the mere sight of him afterward sent them fleeing, even as they boasted that Bear King outclassed their former boss.
In the first film the three operated under Eldoraggo, and his defeat by Luffy sent them scrambling away, only for them to tumble off a cliff because they were not watching where they were going. The second film revealed their tie to the Trump Pirates, where they exposed the King Cannon to Nami before spotting Luffy and bolting once more, vanishing for the rest of the movie.
