Overview[]
The Kairiki Destroyers compared to giants and the rest of the Franky Family.
The Kairiki Destroyers are three very large humans, so big that they reach up above the legs of regular-sized giants.[3] Through their experiences dismantling for the Franky Family, they have gained monstrous strength, and are therefore considered some of the strongest members in the gang.[4]
With their impressive strength, the members of the gang rely heavily on the Destroyers for morale; when they were paralyzed from fear in front of Oimo and Kashii, just seeing the Destroyers continue to fight was enough to motivate them again.
Abilities and Powers[]
Due to their size and builds, the Kairiki Destroyers have remarkable strength above that of an average human. However, lacking any specialized training, their strength is only impressive amongst regular opponents; when facing hardened combatants like the Straw Hat Pirates[5] or naturally superior opponents like giants,[4] they are no match without help.
History[]
Water 7 Saga[]
Water 7 Arc[]
The Kairiki Destroyers and the rest of the Franky Family partied after they stole 
200,000,000 from the Straw Hat Pirates.[1] They were, however, easily defeated by the enraged crew, who intended to flatten the Franky House for attacking Usopp.[6]
Enies Lobby Arc[]
Along with the rest of the Family, they accompanied the Straw Hats to Enies Lobby to save Franky from CP9.[7] Upon reaching the island, their first task was to force the first of three island gates open,[8] which they did after Mozu and Kiwi picked the lock. Once they reached the second gate, they were attacked by foes even larger than themselves: the giants Oimo and Kashii,[3] who quickly knocked them out.[4] They, along with Galley-La and the rest of the Franky Family, eventually escaped the Buster Call, and rode the Sea Train Puffing Tom back to Water 7.
Post-Enies Lobby Arc[]
During the Straw Hats party, the Kairiki Destroyers joined in alongside everyone else that participated in the Enies Lobby fight.[9]
Translation and Dub Issues[]
Kairiki (怪力) means superhuman strength; because of this, the Kairiki Destroyers' name is sometimes translated as "Mighty Destroyers", "Monstrous Strength Death Trio", or other similar terms.
Trivia[]
- Despite being notable for being large humans in the Franky Family, the Kairiki Destroyers are not the only abnormally large members, with at least eight others of similar size and another being even bigger than Footbianco, totaling nine additional large humans;[10][11] in Episode of Merry, there appear to be at least seven other large humans.[12]
