Dwarves

Dwarves (小人族) are a tribe in the One Piece world. They have not been explained deeply yet, but are mentioned in the list of slave prices Duval gives Sanji. They sell for 700,000 as slaves.

When Robin and Usopp were exploring Green Bit, the northern island off the coast of Dressrosa, they discovered a tribe of dwarves living on the island.

Dwarves
Dwarves are an extremely small sentient race. They possess great strength, with a single dwarf being able to easily destroy a building despite their small size. In comparison to an average sized human, their difference in height is approximately the same as that between a human and a giant. They are known as great cultivators as they stated that they can cultivate any plant there is, as evidenced by the abundance of plantlife on Green Bit. Dwarves are shown to be extremely gullible and trusting. They are mostly human in shape, apart from having a pointy sharp nose and a fluffy fox-like tail.

Inter-species Relationships
The dwarves are valued as slaves by normal humans considering the standard price for a dwarves is 700,000. Dwarves refer to human as "Great Human" and casually ask them weather they are good or bad and as a tradition a good human can prove him/herselves by either giving up their weapons or being stripped-off their clothing. Dwarves are very careful not to be seen by any humans as they tried to kill anyone who sees them unless they promise not to tell anyone of their existence. They are also gullible to anything humans says to them making them easily to be fooled. They somehow take advantage of the residents of Dressrosa's belief of fairies and accept their offering to them.

Trivia
