Personality[]
Being a yakuza boss, he had the respect of his followers from Kibi, as well as the other yakuza bosses of his time, being able to work alongside them.[2] He seems to highly respect Hyougoro, and would threaten those who offend the elder as well as obey his commands.[1]
Abilities and Powers[]
Physical Abilities[]
Yatappe seems to have enough strength to hold down a struggling Luffy while the latter is being punished for his rudeness.[1]
Weapons[]
Yatappe wielded a katana during the Onigashima raid, so it can be assumed he's proficient with it.
After Monkey D. Luffy led a rebellion in the prison, Yatappe was freed with the rest of the prisoners. The yakuza bosses later approached Hyougoro to show him respect, and upon seeing Luffy's casual way of addressing Hyougoro, they tried to punish Luffy, only to be stopped by Hyougoro. The bosses then let Luffy go and left to recruit their followers from across Wano.[1]
Yatappe later joined up with the Rebel Command Squad in the Kibi region where he deciphered the meaning of Shimotsuki Yasuie's last message.[3] Two days before the raid on Onigashima, Yatappe and the other yakuza bosses contacted Kin'emon and informed him of the number of allies they had recruited.[4]
After arriving at Onigashima, the rebels were given Beasts Pirates disguises by Kin'emon. Yatappe and his group later infiltrated the Live Floor. When the Scabbards and Izou launched a surprise attack on Kaidou, the rebels revealed themselves as the all-out war on the Beasts Pirates began.[6] As the battle at the Live Floor raged on, the yakuza bosses planned to go after the Tobiroppo.[7]
As Tony Tony Chopper began mass-producing the antidote for the Ice Oni virus, the yakuza bosses and X Drake volunteered to guard him.[8] During the struggle, Hyougoro got infected by the virus but physically returned to his prime self. After Hyougoro defeated the Mimawarigumi, he ordered Yatappe to end his life before he could completely transform into an ice oni.[9] Yatappe hesitated and, after composing himself, swung the blade down, but Chopper stopped it and administered the antidote to Hyougoro. As Chopper slapped Queen and exclaimed that he was not a "tanuki", Yatappe inwardly apologized for having called him such.[10]
Trivia[]
His epithet is derived from his sharp, snake-like gaze which makes it hard for people to move when he glares at them.[11]
