Yosaku

Johnny and Yosaku are old friends and former bounty hunting partners of Roronoa Zoro.

Personality
When he is with Johnny, the pair often stand together side by side, with one arm across the chest and the other at their mouths. While like this their voices and behaviour become serious, however in truth they are very silly and emotional. Yosaku is the more emoitional of the pair and he can spend hours crying over stories of difficult times and struggles.

Both swordsman respect and admire power, as proven by their constant praising of Zoro's power, and later the Straw Hat Pirates power. Anyone who has earned their respect will be acknowledge by them as "Aniki" (brother).

Abilities and Powers
Yosaku is a Swordsman like Johnny, however they are relatively low in strength and power. When they tried to take on the Arlong Pirates by themselves they were easily over powered.

He and Johhny are absent on traveling by sea as proven when Yosaku fell ill to simple scurvy.

History
They first appear during the Baratie arc and stay in the story until the end of the Arlong arc, both times helping out the Straw Hats.

They arrive on the scene after Usopp and Luffy unknowingly shoot at the tiny island they're on for target practice. The partners had to stop because Yosaku was suffering from scurvy, but Nami was able to diagnose and treat him.
