Little Oars Jr.

"Little" Oars Jr. (リトルオーズJr.) is a pirate captain who is the descendant of Oars and an ally of the Whitebeard Pirates. He is among the several New World pirates aiding the Whitebeard Pirates in saving Ace from execution by the World Government.

Appearance
Like Oars, he is a giant at least twice the size of two regular sized giants. He also wears three skulls together, except as a necklace. His overall shape and silhouette resembles Oars. Among his effects is notably a gigantic kasa that Ace made for him.

Personality
Oars Jr. seems to be a very good and kind person at heart. As shown in flashbacks, he was very carefree and appreciated the little things in life, such as the straw hat Ace made for him. He is also shown to be very determined and carry a strong will, as he went straight through the enemy lines to rescue Ace, even continuing on after being hit by Kuma's Ursus Shock and one of his legs was severed by Doflamingo.

Relationships
It was seen in flashbacks that Oars Jr. had positive relationship with Ace in the past. The most prevalent sign of this relationship is the gigantic kasa that Ace gave to him. For Ace's kindness and their presumable friendship, Oars Jr. determined to save his life.

Abilities and Powers
As a giant of immense size, Oars Jr. has incredible strength. However, in contrast to Oars he is seen using a sword. Oars Jr. has a high amount a stamina and pain threshhold, taking damage from three Shichibukai (one of whom sliced off his right leg), incoming marines, their Giants Squad and the marines' artillery without losing his resolve to save Ace. However, his large size was also apparently his own weakness, as he was so big it made him such an easy obvious target.

Past
Sometime in the past, Oars Jr. and Ace became friends. As a gesture of friendship, Ace gave Oars Jr. a kasa which he learned to make in the country of Wano, though it took him three tries since he burned the previous two as he ate the Mera Mera no Mi. Having been given such a great gift, Oars Jr. was able to happily stay in the wide open without getting wet from rain, hot from the sun or having snow pile up on his head.

Ace's Execution
When Oars Jr. found out that Ace was to be executed, he and his crew immediately joined Whitebeard's forces to save him. At Marineford, Oars Jr. plowed through the Marine forces regardless of his own health and safety. Having recklessly charged into the defending marines, he was struck by Kuma's Ursus Shock and had his right leg severed by Doflamingo. Despite his severe wounds, Oars Jr. pressed ever forward, determined to save his old friend.

However, just as he was about to reach Ace, Oars Jr. was impaled by Moria and supposedly mortally wounded. Unable to go on, he collapsed on the battlefield, allowing his allies to use the route he had opened up to invade the bay. As the battle went on, his collapsed body unintentionally continued to help his allies as it had landed right on top of the mechanical wall surrounding the island. Due to the massive weight of his body, it prevented the Marines to fully raise it up. To further put a wrench in their tactics, his blood was also clogging up the machine's gears. Despite this however, the Marines continued on with their tactics.
