Overview

Three scientist brothers run this outfit: the eldest, Bürst, together with his younger siblings Misutta and Bonbon. Cast as the antagonists of the live stage production One Piece Premier Show 2015, the trio chase one enormous aim, taking command of the entire world by wielding scientific power. Their combined cleverness produces calculations and machines alike, including a contraption dubbed the Air Cannon. Where the group stands today is uncertain, since their leader was captured and shut away inside Impel Down.

Role

The scheme kicked off when Bürst, reasoning through pure calculation, decided that Nami made the ideal wife for him and traveled to Marriage Greenland meaning to marry her. He sent his two younger brothers ahead to capture her. The two younger brothers assaulted the Thousand Sunny, where Bonbon tapped his fruit ability to place Nami under mind control and spirit her away toward Marriage Greenland for the wedding. The ceremony fell apart once Brook slipped in disguised as the officiant to wreck the vows, and the remaining crew of Straw Hats plus their allies broke up the event. Furious, Bürst turned himself into a colossal nitro dragon, yet Luffy and Sabo defeated all three brothers side by side.
