Sham

Sham (シャム、 Shamu) along with his fellow pirate Buchi, are the two lookouts of the Black Cat pirates. They are also known as the Nyaban Brothers (ニャーバン・兄弟（ブラザーズ）, Nyāban Burazāzu, Meowban Brothers).

Appearance
Sham is the Black Cat pirate with green hair, a hunched back, is very skinny and uses a sharp cat-clawed glove as a weapon. Buchi is his brother and they are always seen together.

Personality
Sham has a sneaky and devious mind. He proves this by pretending to be weak and lack confidence in his abilities, and scared of Zoro in order to have his guard down. He's also a very vicious fighter.

History
In the Kuro arc, Django becomes desperate so he calls down Sham and Buchi the Nyabun Brothers. Sham pretends to be a coward and Zoro believes it'll be an easy fight but it turns out to be a hoax, and he steals two of Zoro's swords. At this early stage Zoro is not very experienced in one sword style, so he barely defeats them. Sham becomes excited and almost beats him in a frenzy, but Captain Kuro arrives and Sham fails at a mutiny, and they are given five minutes to beat Zoro. But now, Zoro has all his swords so Sham instantly feels Zoro's true capabilities and is wounded, if not killed.

Abilities and Powers
The Nyaban Brothers try to act cowardly when first approaching an opponent, but show their true colors once their opponent's guard is down. The two usually work together in order to overpower their opponents, and can surpass Jango when doing so. They use their claws to slash their opponents. Sham is the swift one of the duo, and he usually distracts and holds down the opponents while allowing his brother to crush them.
