Green Lightning Alpha Rules One Piece RPG Imbriaarts.com/rpg

Giant Giants are a race of beings that vastly overshadow the other known races of the One Piece world in size. The most commonly known are those from the island of Elbaf. As slaves they sell for 50,000,000 for males and #10,000,000 for females.

Being giants, they are literally Giant humans in appearance. They are so large that when they cry, their tears can cause large areas on the ground to be covered with them. They are based on Vikings in both design and beliefs. But not all of them seem to be Viking themed, which is peculiar to ones from Elbaf. Jaguar D. Saul told Nico Robin not to mistake him for the brutes of Elbaf. Also marine vice-admiral John Giant seems to be non-Elbaf giant.

They are not to be confused with large-sized humans such as the Franky Family's Mighty Destroyers or Bartholomew Kuma. To a giant, these large humans are no more than "oversized ants." Large sized humans at their tallest reach knee-height of a giant, a normal human only reaches as high as the ankle in comparison.

Inter-species Relationships Giants seem to get along fine with other races, though generally many humans think twice about upsetting them. Normally they seem very casual, light-headed and friendly towards just about everyone despite their size. Though a different race they are still regarded as "Men" by humans, noting there is a respectful acceptance between them and humans.

Giants can also interbreed with Fishmen, which produces a Wotan. Though Wotan’s are huge by human standards, they are still not as big as an actual giant.

Overall Strength

They are a strong and almost unstoppable race, the average human cannot stand up to them making them both ideal guards and deadly warriors. In fact, many giants are servants of the World Government and the Marines, enforcing the latter as one of the Three Great Powers.

Throughout the storyline, characters regularly are aware of just what the strength of giants is: Mr. 3 had to devise a plan in order to take down Brogy and Dorry. While he took down Dorry by a explosion in his stomach (Brogy had finished him off), the giant had survived because of the giants endurance. ©Imbria Arts 2015 Races: Giant 77

At Enies Lobby the sight of seeing the giants Oimo and Kaashii made the Franky Family commented on how using giants was "unfair".

Saul had lifted up and smashed a number of the large Buster Call fleet ships during the destruction of Ohara. He had also taken several hits of cannon fire. He has been noted to have more strength than an average giant.

When the allies of the Straw Hats appeared to have been wiped out by the Buster Call fleet, whose cannons are able to wipe out whole island with their cannon blasts, it was revealed that Oimo and Kaashii had taken the brunt of the attack yet been largely unaffected.

During the Sabaody Archipelago arc, the kidnapping group the Coffee Monkeys reported that the only reason why they captured their giant was because he was asleep.

Oars' strength was said to be enough to move continents, and his fearsome reputation was one of the attractions for Moria that lead his desire to gain the corpse of both him and his descendant Oars Jr. to use to become Pirate King.

The Marines have an entire squad consisting of Giants. This is giants were place in charge of guarding Ace's execution platform. When they were ordered to prepare themselves, the pirates advancing took warned each other that "the big-boys are advancing". They also have many other Giants as high-ranking officers.

However while they are incredibly strong their size is also their biggest disadvantage; the larger giants such as Oars and Oars Jr. are so big that they make for easy targets during battles.

Half Giant Half Giant is a mixed race of Giant and one other race of creature out there. Although weaker in strength then their parents their lower level cost and racial bonuses still make them a big force to be face in battle. Although at no point have they said any other half giants other than the Wotan race (half giant/half Fishmen) it is strongly believed many half giants are throughout the world and even believed that Whitebeard himself do to his massive size is a Half Giant.

Inter-species Relationships Like the Half Mermen/ Fishmen, The half giant is not respected, they are looked on as weaker than other giants and they have to work hard to prove there place in the world. The other races still fear them as they may not be as strong as their parents but they still can make you hurt big time.
