Kairiki Destroyers

Character

The Kairiki Destroyers are the three biggest members of the Franky Family on Water 7. Towering far above ordinary people, they earned brute power through years of ship-breaking labor and are counted among the gang's heaviest hitters.

Overview

This trio forms the largest bracket within the Franky Family, the dismantling and bounty-hunting crew based in Water 7. Their frames are so enormous that they stand roughly as tall as the legs of a normal giant. Constant heavy labor tearing apart vessels built up their abnormal muscle, which is why the rest of the gang ranks them near the top in raw might.

Beyond combat, the Destroyers anchor the group's spirit. When their comrades froze in terror facing the giants Oimo and Kashii, simply watching the three keep swinging was enough to snap everyone back into the fight.

Role

Their size grants strength well past any average man, yet they never trained in any fighting discipline. Against ordinary thugs that brawn carries them, but seasoned opponents expose the gap. The Straw Hat Pirates flattened them with ease, and naturally larger foes like genuine giants left them helpless without backup.

Their story tracks the Franky Family's. The gang first celebrated after lifting 200,000,000 Berries from the Straw Hats, only to be wrecked when the furious crew came to demolish the Franky House over the attack on Usopp. They later marched with the Straw Hats to Enies Lobby to rescue Franky from CP9, forcing open the first island gate and pressing toward the second, where Oimo and Kashii knocked them cold. They escaped the Buster Call aboard the Puffing Tom and joined the celebratory party back home afterward.

Notable Members

The unit is made up of three men: Dago, Ottoland, and Footbianco. The name itself comes from kairiki, meaning superhuman strength, which has led to translations such as Mighty Destroyers and Herculean Destroyers. Notably, they are not the only oversized people in the Franky Family, as several other giant-sized members appear among the gang's ranks.
