User blog comment:Dezza/Is it me, or do people in One Piece turn out taller as they age?/@comment-2117107-20100613150531

I don't think so, because Whitebeard, and most of the Shichibukai are human, yet are substantially taller than most regular people. However, I don't really mind about the heights; just like I think age doesn't matter, as it makes the whole series so much more... creative I guess.
