Zambai

Zambai was a member of the Franky Family and was Franky's right hand man. After the timeskip, him, Kiev, and Tamagon have joined the Galley-La Company as Zambai's Company Union.

Appearance
Zambai is a tall man with long black hair usually sticking up and a wide grin. He typically wears the Franky Family goggles and suspenders with stockings on his legs.

After the timeskip, Zambai now wears a Galley-La hat and shirt. He still wears his goggles and now wears shorts with stockings and large boots, as well as a pair of rollerskates.

Personality
Zambai was originally a thug in the past who wished to be a shipwright. Once he met Franky, he came to deeply respect him and calls him "Aniki" just like the other Franky Family members. He even wanted Franky to be happy and go with the Straw Hats and cried uncontrollably while seeing him off. While showing fear on some instances, Zambai can show bravery for the sake of his loved ones, such as willing to go to Enies Lobby to save Franky and even ally with the Straw Hats who were once enemies and beat him up showing he can be a forgiving person. He has a strong respect for the crew and calls them nicknames with "Aniki" at the end of them and even regrets beating up Usopp for the money they had. Zambai also has a childish side, as he and and other members of the Franky Family and Galley-La Company played "strawhats" by pretending to be them and imitated them fighting the Aqua Laguna and the Sea Train.

Abilities and Powers
In terms of fighting ability, Zambai seems more competent than most members of the Franky Family in both melee and long range combat. He helped to defeat Kashi, and was able to fight toe-to-toe against Baskerville (all three) before he, the Galley-La Company and the rest of the Franky Family were cornered by the Marines.

Weapons
He is armed with a bazooka and a pair of katanas.

Attacks

 * Bazooka Bat (バズーカバット): Zambai uses his bazooka to strike the enemy at melee range.
 * Kaitai Buttagiri (解体ぶった斬り): Zambai uses a sword and slashes down vertically on his opponents, attempting to cut them in half.

Past in the Slums
During the opening day of the Puffing Tom, a young Zambai was seen amongst the crowd. Inspired by this event, Zambai tried to become a shipwright. He however failed and instead became a gang boss of the back streets of Water 7.

He and his gang were then found and defeated by Franky when he entered their turf. Afterwards, Zambai and his gang were then given jobs by Franky and were assimilated into the Franky Family.

Water 7 Arc
Zambai lead the group of the Franky Family that attacked Zoro on the Going Merry. Later he and his group robbed Usopp, Nami and Luffy only to be foiled by Paulie and later Rob Lucci. And they did it again after Usopp wondered off with two baggages, Zambai and his group snuck up on him and mugged him.

When Usopp raided the Franky House, Zambai was responsible to hold him down, when Franky left, Zambai was in charge to beat him up.

Later Zambai and his crews were beaten up by Luffy, Tony Tony Chopper, Sanji, and Zoro. Zambai, under Franky's order, was in charge to go around town screaming that Franky caught Usopp, hoping that the Straw Hat Pirates heard, but unfortunately someone else heard their shouting, the World Government's secret agency, the CP9.

Lucci wounded them to get the information of Franky's hideout. Lucci coldly promised to tell Franky that he killed his family.



However when Luffy and his crews were preparing to board the Rocket Man to rescue Nico Robin, Zambai and his groups along with Mozu and Kiwi burst into the warehouse, begging Luffy to take the Franky Family with them. Luffy easily forgave the group by telling them to hurry and board. Zambai informed him that they would be using the King Bulls cart to attach the Rocketman.

Later Zambai, Paulie and Luffy formed an alliance to fight against the forces from Enies Lobby.

Enies Lobby Arc
He, Paulie and a handful of Franky Family members had engaged Three-Headed Baskerville in combat but were eventually subdued and apparently defeated. While attempting to escape the Buster Call, he was hit by cannon fire and thrown into the sea. The giants' protection and some quick rope action by Paulie saved his life.

Post-Enies Lobby Arc
He begged the Straw Hats to take his boss, Franky with them, saying that now that Franky is a wanted man, the Franky Family did not have the strength to be able to protect him from bounty hunters and Marine officials. Zambai then tries to reason with Franky to join the Straw Hat Pirates, but Franky refused. Zambai then took part in passing the speedos to the Thousand Sunny, however Franky angrily wounded his family and almost got defeated until Luffy took it.

Zambai tossed a bag of Franky's stuff from the top of the ruined city stairs. He bid Franky good luck and emotionally watched the Thousand Sunny sailed off with Franky. Shortly Usopp showed up to where Zambai was and told him that his friends are sailing away. He was amazed that Usopp recklessly jumped off the stairs and landed 5 feet below but managed to get up fast and screamed that he was sorry to his friends. Zambai cheered when Usopp boarded the Thousand Sunny.

Later Zambai was busy repairing the damaged Franky House along with his family. However Iceburg showed up and offered them a job, Zambai and his group happily accepted and started calling him "new bro" which makes Iceburg feel uneasy.

Two Years Later
Zambai is seen with the Franky Family now a part of Galley-La.
