Karakuri Dolls
CharacterThe Karakuri Dolls are a non-canon trio of henchmen tied to the New Donquixote Family, introduced during the One Piece Premier Show 2021. Styled after traditional Japanese mechanical puppets, they serve as muscle for the vengeful Kardia.
Appearance
The group is made up of three men who paint their faces to resemble traditional karakuri puppets. Each wears a flowing robe in a distinct color, one blue, one red, and one purple, layered over a matching golden vest.
Personality
Little is established about them beyond their function as loyal subordinates. They act as obedient combatants within the New Donquixote Family, throwing themselves into battle on Kardia's behalf without hesitation.
History
The dolls took part in Kardia's assault on the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates while the crews were in Wano Country. During the opening strike against the pirates they went after Tama, only to be brushed aside without difficulty by Luffy. When Kardia later lost the umbrella that had been crafted by Portgas D. Ace, the trio returned to the fight and squared off against Franky, but they were once again overcome with ease.
