Giants

Giants are a race of beings that vastly overshadow the other known races of the One Piece world in size. The most commonly known are those from the island of Elbaf. As slaves they sell for 50,000,000 for males and 10,000,000 for females.

First Appearance: Chapter 116; Episode 70

Appearance
Being giants, they are literally Giant humans in appearance apart from the clan of giants Oz came from as they apparently resemble creatures with monstrous appearances like trolls or ogres, they are so large that when they're crying their tears can cause large areas on the ground to be covered with them. They are based on Vikings in both design and beliefs.

They are not to be confused with humans affected by Giantism such as the Franky Family's Mighty Destroyers. To a giant, those humans with Giantism are no more then "oversized ants."

Judging to the comparison scheme shown on anime, a giant may be around 10 meters (30 feet) tall, and Oz 40 meters (120 feet) tall.

Inter-species Relationships
Giants seem to get along fine with other races, though generally many humans think twice about upsetting them. Normally they seem very casual, light-headed and friendly towards just about everyone despite their size.

Overall Strength
They are a strong and almost unstoppable race, the average human cannot stand up to them making them both ideal guards and deadly warriors. During the Sabaody Archipelago arc, the kidnapping group the Coffee Monkeys reported that the only reason why they captured their giant was because he was asleep.

Trivia

 * They believe that to die in battle is a great honor, that duels are sacred battles between the strong to determine who wins the favour of the Gods of Elbaf. Upon returning to Elbaf after a victorious battle, they are treated as heroes.
 * Not all giants are typically like this, for example Jaguar D. Saul stated that although he was a giant he did not come from Elbaf nor did he share what he called the same 'Barbaric' beliefs. Oz came from a particularlly evil band of giants who also did not come from Elbaf and were larger then other giants.
 * All giants can live for up to three times longer then human beings.
