Giant Squad

The Giants Squad (巨人部隊, Kyojin Butai) is the name given to a group of Giants in the Marine ranks assembled to guard the execution platform to be used for Ace's execution. They consist of at most eight Giants.

History
They were assigned to guard the execution platform. As the war with Whitebeard and the Marines began, they were told to be prepared from air attacks after Marco revealed his phoenix Devil Fruit powers. When Oars Jr. made his move, some of them tried to intercept the larger giant; however, he plowed through the Marine front lines and them as well.

While Oars Jr. defeated Lacroix, Whitebeard knocked out Ronse with a single shock-wave imbued punch, and Monkey D. Luffy took down a third one (the one with a scar on the right side of his chest, with a scruffy medium-sized beard, wearing his Marine cap backwards, and wielding a club) with his Gomu Gomu no Gigant Rifle.
