He was offended when the duo expressed shock at where he generated his gorilla, and told them to tell him how a gorilla is supposed to grow. He was proud about his crew’s strength. However, after being tamed by Tama, Briscola became allegiant to her and ignored his former ideals.

History
Past
During the fight between Portgas D. Ace and Yamato, Briscola, along with Poker and Babanuki, watched in horror as Yamato broke the dragon statue that symbolized Kaidou’s power. After Ace and Yamato ended their disagreements, they tied up Briscola and Kaidou’s other warriors, and then proceeded to drink sake.
Wano Country Saga
Wano Country Arc
When the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance invaded Onigashima on the day of the Fire Festival, Briscola was in the first level of the basement when Monkey D. Luffy and Sanji started beating up his subordinates. Briscola got angry at them and tried attacking them with his gorilla, but they managed to dodge him. As Luffy and Sanji argued over who would fight him, Jinbe suddenly punched through the floor from the level below with Samegawara Seiken and sent Briscola crashing into the ceiling, defeating him.
Later, Speed gave Briscola one of Tama’s kibi dangos, and she told him and the other Gifters that it was one of Queen’s medicines to boost healing. Because Tama did not have a chance to give the Gifters a command, Briscola continued to fight the samurai, gloating about his crew being strong enough to beat the most powerful rookies. Later, Tama used Bao Huang to broadcast an order across all of Onigashima, and Briscola froze before suddenly turning on his crewmates.
When the flames blocked all the escape routes in the dungeons, Briscola and other pirates were desperate.
A week later, he enjoyed the Flower Capital’s festival and joined everyone in the toast.
