Bobby Funk

The Funk Brothers, Bobby Funk (ボビー・ファンク) and Kelly Funk (ケリー・ファンク) are assassins, and are also gladiators competing to win the Mera Mera no Mi at the Corrida Colosseum.

Appearance
The Funk Brothers are a pair of muscular men. They both share broad builds, dark hair, shoulder tattoos, and striped trousers; but others are visibly dissimilar.

Bobby Funk is much larger and somewhat more muscular than Kelly. He has dark hair in two tails slung over his left shoulder. His long dark beard is also kept in two tails. He has a swirling lightning tattoo down neck and right shoulder. He wears and a broad-rimmed fedora, a dark tie, and a light-colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

Kelly Funk is the smaller of the pair, just reaching Bobby's chest. He is 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.

Personality
The Funk Brothers appear to have a sense of honor and pride as they were seen scolding Dagama for scheming with and bribing the other competitors, although Dagama implied that they to might have bribed their way into the same block as well.

When seen in combat, Kelly is shown to be a belligerant 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.

Bobby maintains a level head in combat, but does not appear to fight and when confronted by a warrior turned his back and pleaded, stating he has never fought in his life. His main interest appears to be restraining his older brother, although he has an absent-minded habit of restraining the person Kelly is fighting instead.

Abilities and Powers
They were skilled assassins in the past, so it can be assumed they have some skill in fighting and assassination. The pair are allegedly strong enough to be able to take out pirates worth over 100 million. However, when confronted by Boo of the Flower Kingdom, Kelly was knocked out extremely easily, and Bobby turned his back and pleaded that he'd never been in a fight in his life. Mysteriously, Boo's haki-infused axe shattered off of Bobby's back, and then what appeared to be Bobby with Kelly's face defeated Boo effortlessly with a barrage of punches. The source of these powers is currently unknown.

Past
The Funk Brothers were assassins in the past.

Dressrosa Arc
The Funk Brothers came from a neighboring island to the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi, in order to help their country. They were placed in Block C.

As Block C began, The Funk Brothers were seen preparing to fight.

Trivia
