Jaki

Jaki is a member of the Numbers in the Beasts Pirates, representing the number "four".^[2]

Due to his actions and role, he is a minor antagonist in the Wano Country Arc.

Appearance[]

As an artificially-created ancient giant, Jaki is immensely bigger than the vast majority of people, although among the Numbers he appears to be relatively short. He has yellow-green skin, a rotund physique with disproportionately short legs and little neck area between his head and torso. He has a wild mane of reddish hair that almost reaches down to the ground. He has a very small round nose and a mouth with large and sharp teeth; his two upper canine teeth are much longer and notably curve to the sides, resembling tusks. He also has a pair of broad, light-colored horns on his head which curve upward like a bull's and point toward each other. The only piece of clothing he appears to wear is a short, raggedy yellow loincloth with a black pattern on it. On the right side of his exposed chest, he has a tattoo of Daiji 肆, which means four.^[2]

The color scheme first given to Jaki in the Vivre Card databook is completely different from his color scheme in the anime. In the anime, Jaki's skin is pink instead of yellow-green, his hair is blue instead of red, the tips of his horns are dark purple instead of being a solid color with the rest of his skin, and his loincloth is white instead of yellow.

Personality[]

Like many of his fellow Numbers, Jaki is a rowdy drunk and was considerably intoxicated when fighting broke out on Onigashima. Like the other Numbers, he has a unique laugh that is based on his name: "Jakikiki".^[2]

Abilities and Powers[]

As a failed ancient giant creation, Jaki has significant physical power to complement his size, as shown by his ability to wield his massive club as well as carry the Brachio Tank V with only one hand. However, he was quickly taken down after being struck in the face by Franky's Radical Beam.^[2]

Weapons[]

Jaki wielded a massive spiked club that was even larger than him; the club heavily resembled Kaidou's kanabo.^[2]

History[]

Past[]

Over 20 years ago, Jaki was a subject in an experiment on Punk Hazard that attempted to recreate the ancient giants. The experiment was a failure, but Jaki and his fellow test subjects were recruited by Kaidou. They began residing on Onigashima and joined Kaidou's crew, the Beasts Pirates, as a group called the Numbers.^[2]

After the events of the Legendary Hour, Jaki was among the pursuers of the Nine Red Scabbards, who were escaping from Kaidou's forces following Kouzuki Oden's execution. He was able to catch both Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who were distracted arguing with each other.^[3]

Wano Country Saga[]

Wano Country Arc[]

Five days before the Fire Festival, the Numbers arrived in Hakumai via Mogura Harbor and headed toward Onigashima with Scratchmen Apoo.^[1]

During the festivities on the day of the Fire Festival, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance unleashed a surprise assault on the Beasts Pirates. At some point, Jaki, Juki, and Goki encountered Usopp and Chopper inside the Brachio Tank V, and Jaki easily picked up the contraption. The trio of Numbers then arrived at the Live Floor to fight the rebels, and Franky fired a Radical Beam in Jaki's face to free the Brachio Tank while also defeating Jaki after said attack.^[2] Soon afterwards, Hatcha picked up and carried a still-unconscious Jaki while he chased after Franky.^[4]

Trivia[]

• His name contains the kanji for "four" (四^?) and "oni" (鬼^?)
  • His name could also come from the word "Jaki" (邪鬼), which refers to a very minor classification of Japanese demons similar to "imps" or "goblins" of Western tradition, fitting Jaki's shorter stature when compared to the rest of the Numbers.
