Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)
I just happened to come over a random site of real life pirats that Oda has been inspired by. I found some of them kinda intresting..:
Bartolomeo Português (Portgas D. Ace)
As the ship reached Cape San Antonio, they were captured by three Spanish warships who seized their cargo. After a violent storm, Português was forced to sail towards Campeche where he was later recognized and captured by authorities. Held prisoner on a Spanish ship, he attempted to escape by stabbing the sentry with a stolen knife, and because he supposedly could not swim, he used wine jars as floaters to swim to shore.
Francis Drake a.k.a "The Dragon" (Monkey D. Dragon)
Sir Francis Drake, Vice Admiral, (c. 1540 – January 27, 1596) was an English privateer, navigator, slave trader, and politician of the Elizabethan era. He was second-in-command of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in 1588. He was known as "El Draque" (from the old Spanish meaning "the Dragon" derived from the Latin draco, meaning 'serpent', an obvious play on his family name which in archaic English has the same etymological root) for his actions. King Philip II was claimed to have offered a reward of 20,000 ducats[1] (about £4m or $8m by modern standards) for his life.
Awilda (Alvida)
Bartholomew Roberts (Batholomew Kuma)
Edward Teach (Blackbeard)
Samuel Bellamy (Bellamy the Hyena)
Francois l'Ollonais (Roronoa Zoro)
Henry Morgan (Captain Morgan)
Woodes Rogers (Gol D. Roger)
Well it's not very intresting, but about the portgas d. ace dude.. He got captured, escaped, could not swim..?
I also saw some intresting stuff about the Monkey D. Dragon guy.. Vice-admiral..
It's not impossible for Monkey d. dragon to be the last admiral..? or is it? =/
You can read more of it urself
here if u want.. =)
Just look to some pages later:
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/116/12/Those giants doesn't have a perfect body proportion (big heads), then you can't compare too well in angled camera.This one is even better:
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/117/01-02/http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/118/02/The left one is like 6-8 Sanjis, he can't have more than 15 meters.
I dunno how tall Luffy is, but let's say he's 1.80 meters. but from
this picture, we can see that the giant is the size of 8 luffy's (i copied luffy in paint, and pasted him in on top of each other :P)
so 8*1.80 = 14.5meters =)
@Organizized.
That picture is all wrong dude... I dont have the link, but at that picture the human is much bigger than the elbaf giants head's. So if that's right, Saul has to be much bigger than the elbaf giants. I remember a picture of nico robin as kid and Jaguar D Saul together.. nico robin was the same size as his nose. So that would make Saul like 30 meters tall. xD
I think oda hasn't tought over this too much be4 he drew it. Acctually i think he has meant to draw all of the giants the same size, caus that's what i've been thinking untill some of u guys mentioned it. There's just no way Oz can be like 50 meters tall...... xD NO fucking way.........................
