PersonalityEdit
Like the rest of the Groggy Monsters, Pickles is a bit dumb and tends to laugh for no reason. He, however, seems to be the smartest of the three. As a Foxy Pirate, Pickles also cheats when opportunity presents itself.
Abilities and PowersEdit
The Groggy Monsters with their weapons make the Monster Burger.
Pickles' specialty is tackling and spinning. He is capable of tackling down opponents as well as spinning at great speeds. While he is a formidable opponent by himself, he is made more formidable when teamed up with his teammates, Hamburg and Big Pan. Together they are capable of performing team combinations that often overwhelm their opponents.
He normally participates in a Groggy Ring match with nothing. However, should the chance present itself, he will use illegal equipment as long the referee "does not" look at the field. His hidden equipment includes spiked pauldrons and swords.[3] The spiked pauldrons make his tackles more deadly while his swords are deadly utensils when he spins around with them. The latter weapons are used in conjunction with his teammates' own concealed weapons for a devastating combo, Monster Burger.[4]
The attacks he uses in the Groggy Ring are as follows:
- Sling Tackle (投石器 (スリング) タックル Suringu Takkuru?): Pickles charges straight at the enemy and tackles him with his shoulder.[5]
- Osōji Tackle (お掃除タックル Osōji Takkuru?, literally meaning "Sweeping Tackle"): From the side, Pickles tackles the opposing player.[6] This is called Wipeout Tackle in the Viz Manga and Sweeping Tackle in the FUNimation dub.
- Spinning Tackle (スピニングタックル Supiningu Takkuru?): Pickles spins and either charges at the enemy, or bounces a mid-air ball-man back into the air after Hamburg's Gorilla Throw. This also prepares Hamburg for a chance to throw the ballman in the ring.[7]
- Ningen Taiho (人間大砲 Ningen Taihō?, literally meaning "Human Cannon"): Pickles jumps into Big Pan's mouth and then is spat out at high velocity.[8] In the Viz Manga, this is called Human Cannonball.
- Size Attack S-M-L (サイズアタック S-M-L Saizu Atakku S-M-L?): A combo attack done with Hamburg and Big Pan. First, Hamburg punches the opponent in midair with his iron gauntlets, knocking them towards Pickles. Pickles then rams the target straight up into the air with his spiked shoulder pads. Finally, Big Pan slaps the unlucky target into the ground with his palm.[9] In the Viz Manga, this is called Size Attack! Small!! Medium!! Large!!.
- Monster Burger (モンスターバーガー Monsutā Bāgā?): A combo attack done with the other Groggy Monsters (Hamburg and Big Pan). While the biased referee makes sure not to watch, they bring out a bunch of normally illegal weapons to use in the Groggy Ring. Pickles uses two swords, Hamburg uses two clubs, and Big Pan uses two giant metal pans that he claps together to try to crush his enemies.[4]
HistoryEdit
Davy Back Fight ArcEdit
During the Groggy Ring, he is beaten by Sanji when he kicks him off the field and into the referee, knocking him out.[10]

TriviaEdit
- Like the other Groggy Monsters who are named after culinary names, Pickles is named after the pickles, which is a common topping for hamburgers.
- Pickles appears in the video game One Piece Grand Battle Rush! where he will randomly be thrown by Big Pan into the arena on the Sexy Foxy stage and use his spin attacks on any character close to him until he falls off the stage.
- Pickles makes a sort of cameo appearance in the U.S only game One Piece Grand Adventure and while not removed like Big Pan, he was altered to not have any of his Foxy Pirates gear on and performs the same challenge as he did in Grand Battle Rush!.
