The Chinjao Family is a tight-knit gang out of the Kano Country, headed by the aged ex-pirate Don Chinjao. Bound together by blood and martial tradition, the group entered the Corrida Colosseum tournament in Dressrosa while quietly pursuing a far more dangerous errand.
Rooted in the Kano Country, the Chinjao Family answers to Don Chinjao, a patriarch whose grandsons Sai and Boo round out its core. Every member shares a family tie except Baby 5, who joined by marrying Sai. The clan is steeped in the Happo Navy and practices Hasshoken, a striking art that drives shattering vibrations through a target to crack armor and weapons, echoing the tremor power of Whitebeard's fruit. Baby 5 stands as the lone Devil Fruit user among them.
The family's public reason for sailing to Dressrosa was to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi, but their orders from the Kano Country's ruler ran deeper: dismantle the weapons pipeline that Doflamingo ran selling arms to rival nations. Chinjao carried a private grudge as well, having sworn vengeance on the Garp bloodline after Monkey D. Garp once flattened his pointed skull and stripped him of his strength. That feud drew him toward Luffy in the colosseum.
Inside the C and B Block brawls, Chinjao tried to kill Luffy, only for the young pirate to overpower him and accidentally reshape his head, lifting the old grudge. The clan was later betrayed, dumped in the underground port, and turned into toys, with Sai and Boo abducted and Chinjao robbed of his memories until Sugar's collapse restored everyone. During the revolt against the Donquixote Family, Sai's clash with Lao G awakened his power, prompting Chinjao to pass on the Hasshoken secret technique Drill Dragon and hand him control of the Happo Navy. Sai then declared he would wed Baby 5 and felled Lao G. Afterward Sai pledged loyalty to Luffy as the third division commander of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, married Baby 5 back home, and represented the family at the Levely.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
Don Chinjao once had a towering pointed skull and immense strength as a feared pirate, but Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp flattened his head and crushed his power in a legendary clash, leaving Chinjao bent on revenge against the Garp bloodline. That old vendetta later drew him to challenge Luffy in the Corrida Colosseum on Dressrosa.
Don Chinjao leads the Chinjao Family, a close-knit clan from the Kano Country built on shared blood ties and the Hasshoken martial art. Aside from Baby 5, who joined by marrying Sai, every member of the group is related to Chinjao by family.
The Chinjao Family practices Hasshoken, a striking martial art tied to the Happo Navy that sends shattering vibrations through a target to crack armor and weapons. The technique's shockwave effect echoes the tremor power of Whitebeard's Devil Fruit.
The Chinjao Family publicly entered the Corrida Colosseum tournament to win the Mera Mera no Mi, but their true orders from the ruler of Kano Country were to dismantle the weapons pipeline Donquixote Doflamingo used to arm rival nations. Don Chinjao also carried a personal grudge that drew him toward fighting Luffy in the tournament.
After awakening his Hasshoken power and defeating Lao G, Sai received the secret technique Drill Dragon from Don Chinjao and took command of the Happo Navy. He then pledged loyalty to Luffy as third division commander of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, married Baby 5, and represented the Chinjao Family at the Levely.
