Kelly Funk

Kelly Funk is an assassin from the Mogaro Kingdom, who signed up to fight at the Corrida Colosseum in order to obtain the Mera Mera no Mi.

Appearance
Kelly Funk is an average-sized man, just tall enough to reach his brother Bobby's chest. He is seen bare-chested with dark star tattoos across his left shoulder. He has somewhat shaggy dark hair with a wavy forelock that sticks up. He wears dark gloves and trousers with dark and white vertical stripes.

Personality
When seen in combat, Kelly is shown to be a belligerent and ruthless fighter, thrashing his opponents long after they've been knocked out and unaware of his environment while he does so. He is also insecure about his height, constantly checking for anyone calling him a midget and will violently attack those who do.

Abilities and Powers
Kelly was a skilled assassin in the past. He uses boxing for his fighting style. He was also said to be capable of taking down pirates worth over 100 million.

Kelly can land extremely strong punches at amazing speed, so fast that the enemy doesn't even have time to fall to the ground before the next punch hits them. However, when confronted by Boo, Kelly was knocked out effortlessly, highlighting his lack of endurance.

Devil Fruit
Kelly ate the Jake Jake no Mi, a Paramecia type Devil Fruit which allows him to be worn like a fullbody jacket by humans, animals, or even monsters, granting him their physiques and powers. Bobby wears his brother like so to make the most of their fighting strength, combining Kelly's speed, skill and ferocity with Bobby's strength, resilience and hulking physique.

Past
Sometime in the past, Kelly was an assassin.

Dressrosa Arc
Kelly Funk, along with his brother Bobby Funk, came from the Mogaro Kingdom to the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi, in order to help their country. He and his brother were placed in Block C.

As Block C began, he and his brother were seen preparing to fight. Later, as the battle royale commenced, the brothers, along with Chinjao, Sai, Boo, and Jean Ango, were seen watching as Lucy plowed through his fellow competitors while riding on the back of Fighting Bull.



Kelly was mercilessly beating a fighter who was already unconscious. Bobby told his brother to stop and accidentally instead of grabbing his brother he grabbed the victim. Kelly then told his brother the guy he beat up called him a little midget, and asked Bobby for his opinion. Bobby assured him that he was not but Kelly once again started beating the unfortunate fighter, and Bobby also grabbed the wrong person in an attempt to stop his brother again. Kelly finishes his brutal beat down by threatening to gouge the man's eyes out.



Boo comes up on them, curious to see how a boxer with no formal training fairs against him and immediately sends Kelly flying with a quick jab to the chin. Boo then turns his sights on Bobby, who claimed he had never been in a fight, showing his back as Boo swings an axe down on him. Much to his surprise, his axe broke. Even more surprising was that he had used Busoshoku Haki in that last attack, and wonders how strong Bobby's body is. Bobby cares for his brother, who, nearly conscious, tells him to "put it on" Suddenly, what appears to be a larger, enraged Kelly with Bobby's hat and hair turns the tables on Boo, to Sai's consternation, by hitting him with a barrage of punches that knocks him unconscious and continues to pummel him into the ground.



It is revealed by another fighter in the arena who saw what happened that Kelly unzipped and deflated like a jacket and Bobby had donned him, causing Kelly to gain his physique. After he knocked out Boo, Kelly revealed he ate the Jake Jake no mi, allowing him to be worn like a suit to borrow their body and strength, and proceeded to rampage through several more fighters with his Rarara Ranbo. However, Sai of the Happou Navy demonstrated his speed and strength by climbing into the air atop his flying fists and delivering an Hasshoken-infused kick to his head, knocking the brothers out instantly.
