Revision as of 00:02, 17 December 2018

For the creature of Golden Lion Pirates with the same name, see Kubinagaryu.

The Plesiosaur was a powerful sea monster under Ganzack's command.[1]

Appearance

The Plesiosaur was built similarly to its real-life counterpart, with a humped body, four flippers, and a long, flexible neck; its jaws alone were large enough to swallow a human being whole.

Its sole accessory was a plated kabuto helmet, emblazoned with the Ganzack Pirates' Jolly Roger and adorned with crab claws.

Personality

While highly aggressive and savage, the Plesiosaur was also intelligent enough to understand and obey Ganzack's orders, and carry persons of interest (such as Nami) to him unharmed. It was also able to recognize - and cringe in fear at - dynamite.

Abilities and Powers

The Plesiosaur was a powerful swimmer, large enough to shatter small boats simply by breaching and strong enough to tow Ganzack's personal warship without visible strain. Its neck is also maneuverable enough for it to snap enemies out of midair with its sharp teeth, though its jaw muscles are not quite strong enough to hold down Monkey D. Luffy.

History

Upon the Straw Hats' first encounter with the beast, it kidnapped Nami despite Luffy's attempt to eat it. Later, it assisted Ganzack in his battle against Luffy. The monster was finally defeated by the islanders who hurled dynamite at it, sinking Ganzack's ship in the process.[1]

Trivia

  • The name "Plesiosaur" (首長竜, Kubinagaryū?) was never used in the OVA itself; rather, it is derived from a notation on one of Eiichiro Oda's sketches in Volume 5, which may or may not be the creature's "official" name.
