Personality

Little has ever been disclosed about what makes these three tick. What can be inferred is a basic devotion to Crocodile, the man who pays them and runs the operation they protect. Beyond that loyalty to their employer, the group has no documented quirks or motivations of its own.

Abilities

Being trusted to shield Rain Dinners implies a certain baseline of muscle, since a casino owned by a Warlord would not staff its halls with weaklings. That assumption did not hold up under pressure. When a genuine threat arrived in the form of Monkey D. Luffy, the trio fell almost instantly.

History

During the events in Arabasta, Luffy stormed into Rain Dinners determined to reach Crocodile. The three guards positioned themselves to block his charge, but he plowed past them with ease and they were taken out in moments. The unit is now listed as disbanded.

One of the three, the member shown at the center of the group, later turned up as a usable fighter in One Piece Treasure Cruise, where the game mistakenly labeled him as a Billions agent hoping to climb into a numbered rank.
