Yokozuna Brothers

The Yokozuna Brothers ( 横綱 · ブラザーズ,  Yokozuna Burazazu) are the current Bouncers and Security of Big Mama's House bar and club. They were employed by Big Mama to make sure that no trouble markers would come through her doors and since then there hasn’t been one trouble in the bar. Originally the brothers were personally bodyguards for a world noble who was fearful of pirates and the world around him, but that noble had died from natural causes and thus the brothers were unemployed. After a few months of doing odd jobs and perform in the local squares trying to earn their next meal.

They had decided to join the marines and see what would happen, after going through basic training. They were sought out by a prominent Marine officers who wanted to use their strength as his own, seeing that this man was corrupt the brothers declined his offer. So as such, the marine officer was angered by this and he had come up with a plan to farm the brothers for a murder. Three days later, the brothers had “been” seen breaking in the marine officer’s house and murdered his wife. But when it was really the marine officer himself, so the Brother had gotten a bounty put out on their heads and then after several months trying to avoid the marines and bounty hunters.

With a bounty of 10,000,000 each to make a total of  20,000,000 for such crimes as. Escaping arrest, their “murder” of the marine’s officer’s wife and then falsely accusing that the marine himself had done it. There small crimes during their performance, mostly property damage from their dances and such. With this the Yokozuna brothers set out to clear their names and keep working at Big Mama’s House.

Appearance
The Yokozuna brothers are a set of twins; they both are extremely muscular and tall. They seem to keep their hair up in chonmage style hair piece, as both of them have their faces painted. Similar to Kumadori’s own face paint, they have red lines going down their faces and then their faces painted white under the red paint. In terms of clothing, they seem to take the traditional sumo wrestler outfit. With a blue and white skirt like warp around their waist, with a white obi to keep this warp up. However underneath they have been to wear the traditional Fundoshi, often times it is seen had the brothers moves it looks to be underwear.

Personality
The brothers seem to do things in true kabuki fashion, they like to shout out most things they say and take dramatic poses whenever they speak. The brother do share of the same mannerism as Kumadori does, the brothers have a strong judge of character and a sense of honor. They first shown this trait whenever they turned down the marine officers offer, because right away they could have told the man was clearly corrupted. They seem to follow a lot of the bushido teachings, from remaining loyal to their master until they die or their master does. The brothers also seem to be somewhat religious, often commenting that they will not fight on sacred ground for it would upset the gods and they wouldn’t show favor over the brothers.

As traditional warriors, they have a strong belief in the old ways. The brothers seem to refuse to fight women or children; they also will only fight the trouble markers. So they often remain passive to the innocent and watches with a close eye on trouble markers or those who don’t seem to fit in at the bar. Often the brothers do have their funny moments; they seem to be scary some times as well. As shown whenever Thomas refused to do work around the bar, because he wanted to go to sleep. Big Mama told him that he needed to do work and as such, the brothers had appeared behind Thomas. After a few moments, Thomas had straighten up and helped out with the chorus.

Big Mama’s House
Among the employees of the big mama’s house, the brothers are the bouncers and security of the bar. So they are highly respected from their jobs and keeping out trouble markers, but also from their own honor code. They remain loyal to the business and will gladly laid down their lives for it, all of the employees believe the Yokozuna Brothers couldn’t have possibly had murdered the Marines officers wife, so they support that the brothers couldn’t have they wouldn’t harm a woman.

Big Mama
Big Mama sees the Yokozuna Brothers as sons as well, they address her as Mama and as her bounces. She has a great amount of confidences in their own abilities to protect her business from the wrong coward and to this day they seemed to have never let a trouble marker into her business, minus the Blackbeard pirates.

Ms. Chi Chi
The brothers and Ms. Chi Chi seem to be almost like brothers and sister; they often address each other as such. Since it would seem that Big Mama had adopted the three into her own family, so Ms. Chi Chi and the brothers are very protective of mom and have a high amount of respect for each other.

X-Pod
X-Pod and the brothers have a mutual respect for each other, since the brother have a strong belief in respecting elders. X-Pod had often commented on the fact that the brothers seem to be almost samurai and not really employees, either way they still guard the bar from trouble markers. Their respect for each other is so great that, X-Pod also believes that the brothers couldn’t have possibly have killed the marines wife, the boys wouldn’t have the heart to do it.

Mr. Magiko
The Brothers and Magiko have very little interaction with each other, since the brothers are mostly outside guarding the door. Mr. Magiko either out spying and gathering information or doing a show. But from what was mention by Big Mama, it would appear that Mr. Magiko is in debt to the brothers who had saved his life once before. Mr. Magiko has revealed that he had been friends with the brothers long before he had joined the employees. So it is still unknown to what or whom the brothers saved Mr. Magiko from, but it is believed to have been a pirate or a marine from the talk of the situation.

Tirio Masco
The brothers seem to have a great respect for Tirio even though he is out there and extremely feminine. The brothers don’t judge him from appearance, but on is skills with a sword and had earned their respect for him. Tirio has commented that he likes the brothers sense of honor and style at that, it would often appear that the three are the main combatant of the bar and are the first ones who seem to go into battle or guard the bar from trouble. However the brothers do know of Tirio’s own twin brother Lirio and he being a member of the execution force, but again the brothers know that Tirio isn’t even like his own brother.

Unnamed Marine Officer
The marine officer who had framed the brothers originally wanted the two on his side and act as his bodyguards, so as such he had tried his best in order to get them on his side. He offered them gifts and many other good acts, but the brothers had seen through this and then seen the man was clearly corrupted. So they had refused him, so he had gotten angry by this and he had come up with a plan to frame them. The officer took the life of his own wife, thus with the hate filled in him at the brothers he had accused them of murdering his wife. So to this day he is still angered by their chose and he his plan had failed, because they escaped.

Strength
The brothers possess extremely powerful strength to the point that they were able to pick up both Blackbeard and a few of his members, thus throwing them out of the bar. Their true test of strength was shown whenever a bounty hunter who had came after the brothers, they had picked up several boulders and through it at the man. Thus crushing him, of course they were able to crush stones with their grip as well.

Combat Skills
The brothers seem to have the best physical combat skills in the bar; this was shown whenever they had fought against the blackbeard crew. The Brothers had used physical combat and not any special techniques or such in order for them to win. But of course using their own size and strength to give several damaging blows to others. But of course their style often ends up with destroying the area around them, but it does seem that they try not to destroy.

Weapons
The brothers use a set of Kanabo’s each brother holds two, one in each hand. They use these like clubs and are very skilled with the combat use for these weapons. The Kanabo’s themselves are long black clubs with red spikes on the tip of the clubs. They have a ring on the end of the weapon, which often is connected by a chain to the brothers. So often they throw their weapons at others and can quickly draw them back by pulling on the chains. The next weapons the brothers have been seen to use a giant axe, similar to sentomaru’s own, but with this axe they seem to share it. One brother handing it to the other during combat and has proven to be a good strategy to have in battle as one brother is in front of an opponent, he can hand it off the other from behind to attack the opponent. The last weapon that the brothers use are a pair of canons which each one wears on their backs, so whenever they feel the need. They can bend down and fire a canon ball or such at opponents.

Yokozuna Kenpo
The Yokozuna Kenpo is a style that the brothers user similar a kabuki style and summon style. The user palm slams and many other attacks that a kabuki actor or a sumo wrestler would use against someone if put into a combat situation. The kenpo also takes into consideration the different weapons that the brothers use, mostly with the kanabo. They shout out attacks and whenever an opponent is confused by this, they slam the kanabo into the opponent sending them flying.

Haki
The brothers have shown to use haki in both to increase their senses. That they have been able to predict opponent’s movements and then delivering a palm slam to their faces. The last is the chance to increase their own durability, that whenever they use their own bare hands. Each brother is able to take a hit and still go on, without feeling the pain or even seem to get cut.
