Personalities

They seemed very confident when fighting Nami, but were beaten very easily. This confidence is most likely come from their shadow's original owners. It is unknown how they acted when alive, but they were most likely typical squirrels.

Abilities and Powers

Then were seen fighting with an axe and saw, although it is unknown how proficient they are in using them. Despite their size, they were strong enough to carry three coffins containing Chopper, Usopp, and Nami without any visible effort.

History

The shadows that were being used to animate them were derived from the Rolling Pirates with the same name.[3] They first appeared as the ones carrying the coffins that contained Usopp, Nami, and Chopper. While transporting the coffins, they accidentally dropped and opened the coffin containing Chopper, waking him, and were subsequently defeated by him. Later, after they recovered from his attack, they scurried off somewhere else to get their allies. They were later seen in the treasure room shocked by Nami's attack. They were interrogated by her for the location of the treasures previously stored there.[4]

The shadows animating them were then later sucked out of them by their master, Gecko Moria. Without any shadows animating them, they returned to being stitched up squirrel corpses.[5]

Translation and Dub Issues

  • The word "Risky" includes the section "risu", which is Japanese for "squirrel". This explanation shows why the Risky Brother zombies were squirrels. A similar pun is later done with Tristan, a squirrel Minkwoman.
