The Kairiki Destroyers (怪力デストロイヤーズ, Kairiki Desutoroiyāzu) are three gigantic members of the Franky Family. They are the biggest in the Franky Family and are considered by the rest of the gang as some of the strongest members hence their name.

[edit] Appearance
The Kairiki Destroyers are large humans that are so big that they roughly reach up above the legs of a regular sized giant.[1] Like the rest of the gang, these three each wear the Franky Family uniform, which consists of a metal lederhosen and a pair of specialized goggles.
[edit] Abilities and Powers
Due to their size and strength, the Kairiki Destroyers have remarkable strength above that of an average human. Having gained their strength from the various ships they dismantled, are considered some of the strongest in the Franky Family. They are however only strong enough against regular fodder. Against really strong opponents like giants, they are no match without help.[2]
As fighters, the Kairiki Destroyers use regular run of mill weapons to fight. The Destroyer with the orange afro has a specialized super armor that is strong enough to withstand a cannon. It however cannot withstand really strong attacks.[3]
[edit] History
Along with the rest of the Family, they accompanied the Straw Hat Pirates to Enies Lobby to save "aniki" (big brother/gang boss) Franky from CP9. Upon reaching the island, their first task is to force the first of three island gates open, which they do after Mozu and Kiwi pick the lock. When they reach the second gate, however, they are jumped by foes even larger than themselves: the giants Oimo and Kaashii, who quickly knock them out. They, along with Galley-La and the rest of the Franky Family have escaped the Buster Call, and rode the Sea Train Puffing Tom back to Water 7.
[edit] Translation and Dub Issues
Kairiki means superhuman strength. Because of this, the Kairiki Destroyers name are sometimes translated as Mighty Destroyers, Monstrous Strength Death Trio, and others in various scanlations.
