Stansen

Stansen is a giant from Elbaf who was imprisoned in the Auction House along with Silvers Rayleigh. He later escaped along with other imprisoned slaves when the Straw Hat Pirates raided the Auction House.

Afterwards, he became an S-Class mercenary for Buggy's Delivery along with four other giants. The five of them later left Buggy's Delivery to form the New Giant Warrior Pirates, with Stansen becoming their shipwright.

Appearance
As a giant, Stansen is much larger than a human. He is rather portly, though has muscular arms, a black beard, and wears a hat with flaps on the sides. He also has a leather armband on each arm, and wears jeans.

Two years after being freed from slavery, Stansen's beard grew larger and he also grew a mustache. He wears an open fur vest, a fur cape with skulls on the shoulders, a large spotted velt with a skull-shaped buckle, and light baggy pants. He also wears a viking helmet.

While he was still a child on Elbaf, he wore a similar-looking outfit (albeit smaller for the size of his age), with an addition of a light-colored fur vest, and a sword buckled to his back.

Personality
Befitting a warrior of Elbaf, Stansen is an honorable person, as he thanked Rayleigh for helping him and the other slaves escape. He also offered to help the other slaves get off the island after their collars had been removed. While he was in captivity, he remained calm and sociable.

During his childhood, he appeared to be cheerful, as he sat watching Hajrudin training with Raideen while happily eating snacks.

Abilities and Powers
Due to his massive size, Stansen possesses very powerful physical strength. He was able to crash through the walls of the auction house using his bare hands and with little effort. The only reason he was caught into slavery was because he dropped his guard while sleeping, as his captors noted the impossibility of taking him in otherwise.

He also has knowledge of Haki, as he knew that it was Rayleigh who knocked out Disco with it, although it is unknown if he can use it himself.

Weapons
While as a child, Stansen carried a sword strapped to his back.

As a member of the New Giant Warrior Pirates, he is equipped with a giant hammer.

Past
Sixty-three years ago, Stansen, as a child, was on Elbaf watching Hajrudin's training to become a warrior.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
Stansen was captured by the Coffee Monkeys group when he was asleep with his guard down, and was imprisoned in the Sabaody Archipelago Human Auction House to be later sold as slave. Along with him were other captured slaves including Rayleigh.

Later, with help from Rayleigh, Stansen got his bomb collar off and escaped the auction house along with other slaves. He was grateful to the Straw Hats and Rayleigh for liberating them.

During the Timeskip
After being freed, Stansen became a mercenary for the pirate dispatch organization Buggy's Delivery, earning the rank of S-Class alongside four other giants. The five of them planned to set out to sea and formed the New Giant Warrior Pirates as a revival of the original Giant Warrior Pirates, with Stansen becoming their shipwright under the captain Hajrudin.

The Tales of the Self-Proclaimed Straw Hat Grand Fleet
Hajrudin pledged his crew's allegiance to the Straw Hat Pirates, and when he returned to Karai Bari Island, the New Giant Warrior Pirates quit Buggy's Delivery and set off to sea as members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

Trivia
