The Numbers are a unit inside the Beasts Pirates composed of artificially grown ancient giants. Manufactured on Punk Hazard and dismissed as failures, they were later purchased by Kaidou and stationed on Onigashima to serve as hulking combatants for his crew.
According to Big Mom, these ten beings are botched attempts to recreate the ancient giant race, a towering subgroup of giants distinguished by their immense height and pair of horns. Each member rivals Oars in scale, standing roughly three times taller than an ordinary giant, and all of them sport horns. Why exactly they count as failures has never been clarified.
Unlike naturally born ancient giants, the Numbers carry varying animal-like features. A few, such as Hatcha and Kunyun, pass for unusually large humans, while others bear long necks or snout-shaped noses. Fuga even has the lower body of a horse after consuming a Horse SMILE. Most display jagged fangs, and each member is themed around a digit, with that number's kanji woven into both their name and their distinctive laugh.
Their sheer bulk grants them tremendous power, letting them swat aside ordinary foes with ease, and they have reportedly flattened countless cities. Every member wields an enormous spiked club, some shaped like Kaidou's kanabo and others like morning stars, with a single swing capable of leveling multiple targets. Like true giants, they appear to enjoy long lifespans, evidenced by Hatcha being a hundred and eighty-eight years old.
For all their menace, the Numbers behave more like unruly children or beasts than thinking adults, communicating only through their signature laughs. They are notorious drunkards, prone to charging blindly even through crowds packed with allies. Their loyalty to Kaidou is real, but keeping them in line is nearly impossible, with only Scratchmen Apoo able to calm them somewhat by playing music. They also lack durability, as several were dropped by a single blow from elite fighters.
The unit numbers ten: Inbi, Fuga, Zanki, Jaki, Goki, Rokki, Nangi, Hatcha, Kunyun, and Juki. Created on Punk Hazard for the World Government and then sold off to Kaidou through the Underworld, they came to live on Onigashima. During the Raid on Onigashima they joined the battle in force, but most were felled by the alliance: Luffy, X Drake, Franky, Yamato, and Brook each took one down, while Brook also bested Kunyun. Fuga broke ranks to side with Yamato, fighting Rokki to clear a path to the weapons cache.

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....
