Binatang Buas Laut

Binatang Buas Laut
Statistik
Nama Jepang:	海獣
Nama Romanisasi:	Kaijū
Debut:	Chapter 73, Episode 31
Habitat:	Grand Line; Pesisir Pulau Sandy; Dekat Pulau Manusia Ikan

Binatang Buas Laut adalah kelas mamalia air besar yang menghuni Grand Line, terkenal karena kemiripannya yang luar biasa dengan mamalia permukaan. Hewan Laut pertama yang ditemui dalam serial ini adalah Sapi Laut Momoo.

Meskipun agak mirip dalam habitat dan perilaku, mereka tidak boleh disamakan dengan Raja Laut, non-mamalia (umumnya) lebih besar dan lebih ganas yang juga menghuni lautan dunia.

Ringkasan

Penampilan

Penampilan mereka umumnya didasarkan pada hewan permukaan mamalia, seperti kucing, sapi, gajah, dan banyak jenis mamalia lainnya. Perbedaan utama antara mereka dan rekan permukaan mereka adalah sisik tambahan di sepanjang tubuh mereka, sirip seperti ikan dan sirip ekor, bukan kaki dan / atau ekor, dan kemampuan bernapas di bawah air, mungkin melalui insang. Mayoritas binatang laut berukuran raksasa, dengan mudah berada di sekitar ukuran kraken (yang dapat memiliki panjang sekitar 300m) dan bahkan anak mereka bisa sangat besar. Namun, binatang laut yang lebih kecil seperti Tupai Laut juga ada, yang hanya sedikit lebih besar dari manusia.

Behavior

While not as aggressively carnivorous as Sea Kings (which are, in fact, one of their natural predators), most Sea Beasts will indiscriminately attack smaller animals, including both humans and merfolk. Nevertheless, they are much easier for powerful individuals to intimidate and domesticate; around Fish-Man Island in particular, they are commonly captured and harnessed by experienced pirates for underwater transportation, with the New Fish-Man Pirates being known to own an entire pack.

In addition, at least a few types of Sea Beasts have displayed high enough intelligence and sapience to form their own underwater towns, complete with law enforcement systems.

Sea Beast Weapons

The Sea Beast Weapons are cyborg Sea Beasts which guard Egghead under the command of Vegapunk.

Sapi Laut

Sapi laut merinci biologi.

Sapi Laut (海牛, Kaigyū^?) greatly resemble normal, land-based cows, with curved horns, fleshy noses, and "patchy" coloring—though they are still carnivorous, with appropriately sharp teeth. So far, the only known specimen is Momoo of the Arlong Pirates, who stands at a height of 36 meters (118'1" feet) and a weight of 16 tons (32,000 lbs).

They are classified as type "A" creatures, "Big Friendly". This stands somewhat in contrast to their behavior of attacking and overturning ships, though it has been indicated that they do not actually eat human beings.

Sea Cows are the only Sea Beasts known to be capable of moving on land (as the Arlong Pirates had let Momoo rampage inland through Gosa Village). The fish-like scales on their bodies are actually their hardened skin, protecting their vital organs from external attacks as an armor. Besides helping them swim as fast as 70 km/h (43.5 mps), their fins contain retractable bones sharp enough to act as claws.

Just like normal cows, sea cows have four stomachs; bacteria and parasites dwell inside them, digesting anything the cows choose to eat, including poison from venomous animals, making these creatures essentially immune to food poisoning.

Their name may be a pun on real-life dugongs and manatees, which are commonly referred to as "sea cows".

Kucing Laut

Kucing Laut

Kucing Laut (海ネコ, Umi Neko^?, Cat Sharks in the 4Kids-dubbed anime), like ordinary cats, possess large, pointed ears, slit-pupiled eyes, distinct philtrum lips, and front limbs ending in paws—which they sometimes raise in a "beckoning" gesture, akin to a maneki-neko, upon surfacing. While grown specimens are as large as any other Sea Beast, juveniles—the only juvenile Sea Beasts depicted thus far—are "only" slightly larger than the 3.01m (9'10") Jinbe.

They are classified as a type "A" creature, "Big Friendly". Despite their preying on ships, the Kingdom of Arabasta considers them religiously significant ("endangered" in the 4Kids dub), and strictly forbids them from being harmed. Notably, the Tomb of the Kings contains multiple statues carved in their likeness.

Their name may be a reference to the black-tailed gull, colloquially known as "Sea Cats" (海猫, Umi-neko^?) in Japan due to their cat-like calls.

Babi Hutan Laut

Babi Hutan Laut yang diselamatkan oleh Hatchan.

A Babi Hutan Laut (海イノシシ, Umi Inoshishi^?) appeared in Hatchan's cover story, where Hatchan saved it from an attacking sea monster. It turns out that earlier the sea boar had eaten Camie and Pappag, and spat them out shortly after being rescued.

Monyet Laut

Sekelompok monyet laut.

The Monyet Laut (シーモンキー, Shī Monkī^?) are sea creatures with monkey-like faces. Found after returning from Skypiea and before arriving at Long Ring Long Land island, they have powerful flippers that can cause tidal waves. The Fanged Toad Pirates' ship sank due to the waves they created.

They may be a reference to the "Sea-Monkey" shrimp marketed as novelty pets by many American toy companies (hence their species name being rendered purely in katakana—a convention used for no other Sea Beast).

Rakun Laut

A Rakun Laut (海ダヌキ, Umi Danuki^?, literally "sea tanuki") differs between the anime and the manga. Both versions are visual puns on "umidanuki", the Japanese word for beaver.

In the manga, it is a giant Sea Beast, while in the anime, it is a shapeshifting animal. However, its transformations are limited to its original size, roughly that of a real raccoon, such as transforming into a doll-sized Nami. Lina is the only known person to own a sea raccoon. She and her pet, Nukky, appeared in the Spa island filler arc with her sister Sayo.

Kelinci Laut

Kelinci Laut

A Kelinci Laut (海兎, Umi Usagi^?) is a sea creature resembling a rabbit. One was discovered near the Red Line by Luffy, Brook, and Robin traveling in the Shark Submerge III, and was consequently defeated by a Gomu Gomu no Rifle. Upon defeat, it spits out Camie and Pappag. Its birthday is October 19th.

Kuda Nil Laut

Kuda Nil Laut

A Kuda Nil Laut (海カバ, Umi Kaba^?) is a massive sea creature with the face of a hippo. There was a Sea Hippo among the victims of the Stomach Baron.

Singa Laut

Singa Laut Bajak Laut Manusia Ikan Baru.

Singa Laut (海獅子, Umi Jishi^?) possess faces and manes like those of normal lions (though, unlike Sea Cats, all four of their limbs end in flippers). By estimate, a typical adult is 55m (180' 5") long.

Thus far, the only specimen depicted was part of the New Fish-Man Pirates' army. It was later ridden by the Flying Pirates during their attack at Ryugu Kingdom. After the New Fish-Man Pirates were beaten, the sea lion and its fellow sea monsters went on to cause havoc by going on a rampage.

It may be based on the sea-lion, a mythical creature in heraldry with the head and front limbs of a lion and the tail of a fish, or the merlion, another mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. It is a visual pun on real-life "sea lions".

Beruang Laut

Beruang Laut Bajak Laut Manusia Ikan Baru.

Beruang Laut (海熊, Umi Guma^?) possess faces and fur like those of normal bears. By estimate, a typical adult is 50m (164') long.

The only one seen is under the command of the New Fish-Man Pirates, and it appeared first alongside the Sea Lion and many other sea beasts under the crew's command. It was on a rampage, but stopped when some fish-men tried to frighten it with fire.

The kanji for sea bear can mean "fur seal" in Chinese, which the sea bear somewhat resembles.

Babi Laut

Babi Laut.

Babi Laut (海ブタ, Umi Buta^?) possess faces like those of normal pigs. They are notable as the key ingredient in at least one Attack Cuisine dish: the Hormone Soup with Sea Pork.

The name may be a pun on the Japanese word for dolphin (海豚, Iruka^?), the kanji of which literally translates to "sea pig".

Anjing Laut

Anjing Laut (海イヌ, Umi Inu^?) is a Sea Beast resembling a dog. In Solo Journey of Jinbe, Knight of the Sea, one is seen working as a police officer, wearing a police hat and badge and even possessing a mustache. A second Sea Dog, resembling a bulldog, appeared in an underwater town alongside former Sea Beast members of the New Fish-Man Pirates.

A "sea dog" is a mythical beast of English heraldry that resembles a dog with fins, webbed feet, and a scaly tail. In real life, the term can refer to a literal dog at sea (like on a boat/ship). Sharks used to be called "sea dogs" and seals sometimes still are. It is also a slang term for a veteran sailor. There was a group of English privateers authorized by Queen Elizabeth I to raid England's enemies called the Sea Dogs.

Setelah Bajak Laut Manusia Ikan Baru jatuh, sebagian besar jika tidak semuanya bergabung dengan Singa Laut dan Beruang Laut di kota bawah air agak jauh dari Pulau Manusia Ikan.

Kemudian, beberapa Monster Laut ditemui oleh Jinbe selama perjumpaannya dengan kota yang disebutkan di atas, termasuk:

• Seekor Domba Laut
• Seekor Koala Laut
• Seekor Kuda Laut, sangat mirip dengan "King" Yagara Bull.

Tidak diketahui apakah Hewan Laut ini juga merupakan bagian dari Bajak Laut Manusia Ikan Baru, atau apakah mereka berkumpul bersama karena naluri.

Translation and Dub Issues

The Viz manga initially translated Momoo's class as the more generic "sea monster", with the term "Sea Beast" not being used until the translation of Volume 17's SBS (which confirmed that Momoo and creatures like him belonged to a category distinct from Sea Kings). Interestingly, the original Japanese term, Kaijū (海獣, Kaijū^?), is used in real life for ordinary marine mammals such as dolphins and whales; it remains unknown whether those of One Piece (e.g. Laboon) are also categorized as such.

(As an aside, it should be noted that this Kaijū is not the Kaijū (怪獣, Kaijū^?) used to describe Godzilla and other classic Japanese film monsters, though the two are homonymous.)

Trivia

• Seekor binatang laut yang dikenal sebagai Babi Laut (海ブタ肉, Umibuta-niku^?) juga ada, meski belum ada yang terlihat. Dagingnya adalah bahan dasar dalam salah satu resep Pulau Momoiro Masakan Serang, Sup Hormon dengan Daging Babi Laut.
