The subject of this article is sometimes

incorrectly called "Oz".

Oars the Continent-Puller was an infamous

ancient giant who was born over 500 years prior
to the current storyline.

After he died, his body was unearthed by

the Thriller Bark Pirates and used to create the
900th Zombie of Gecko Moria's zombie army.[1]
Due to his massive size even among most giants,
Oars was the sole zombie to be classiIed as a
Special Zombie.[2] As the member of Moria's
army animated using the stolen shadow of
Monkey D. LuLy, he was a major obstacle that the
Straw Hat Pirates had to overcome during their
adventure on Thriller Bark. He is the
direct ancestor of Little Oars Jr.[10]

Due to his actions, he is a major antagonist of the

Thriller Bark Arc.

Appearance

Oars is an extremely large, red-skinned,[11] skull-

faced zombie who is more than four times the size
of an average giant; his sheer size caused Roronoa
Zoro and Franky to mistake his body for a large
wall upon encountering it up close.[12] Oars has
two large horns and long yellow hair that Uows
from his head to his back. His upper teeth are
squared, while his lower teeth are pointed with
long canines. He is missing his right eye, and his
left arm has "SZ-900" tattooed on it, "SZ"
representing "Special Zombie" and "900" being his
zombie classiIcation number.[1]

Like other zombies, he is completely stitched up,

save for a small portion of his upper right pectoral
area that has decayed to reveal ribs and a
moldering section of his right deltoid.[1] Oars's right
arm has been replaced entirely by Hogback, but
the joint where his original arm had been
connected was not and retains severe signs of
frostbite.[13] A blue cloth is stitched across the
middle of his stomach;[1] this is actually a curtain
that opens up and leads to a compartment located
where his digestive system should be. This is a
cockpit where Oars's master, Gecko Moria, can sit
and watch Oars battle[14] or aid him with his own
powers.[15] Apart from the various bandages
covering his limbs, Oars wears only a large black
loin cloth adorned by three gigantic skulls and a
large cross pattern in front strapped onto a rope
holding it up.[16]

Personality

Oars's personality in life is largely unknown,

though Hogback implies that he was a ferocious
beast hailing from a clan of giants who were
especially evil; Oars, in particular, was well known
and feared.[3] However, Oars was also very dense,
given Chopper's assessment that he ended up
dying not from old age or injuries sustained in
battle, but by walking around in an extremely cold
environment wearing only his loincloth.[13]

Oars demonstrates LuLy's excitability while watching Pirate

Docking 6.

Due to being implanted with LuLy's shadow, Oars

inherited several of LuLy's personality traits,
including LuLy's desire to become the Pirate King.
[17] Oars is also unable to tell that Usopp and
Sogeking are actually one and the same,[18] but
thinks Sanji and his badly-drawn bounty poster
look exactly alike.[19] He also retains LuLy's
excitability, becoming shocked when he learned
that the Straw Hats could not complete Pirate
Docking Six due to Robin refusing to take part in it,
[20] and shares LuLy's carnivorous nature, having
been distracted by being told that there was a
large pile of meat to his right.[21] Oars also
remembered certain things about LuLy's abilities;
he found that it was weird that he did not stretch
when using Gomu Gomu no Pistol[17] and found
stretching to feel familiar when Moria later helped
him do so.[22]

Relationships

Gecko Moria

Gecko Moria intended to control Oars to Ight one

of Four Emperors, Kaidou.[23] After being revived
as a zombie, Oars was originally very deIant
against Moria's will, possessing a strong sense of
individuality.[17] However, as is the fate of all
zombies, Oars eventually became obedient to
Moria.[24] Despite this, Oars still had his own way
of doing things, preferring to Ight his battles by
himself.[15] While Oars allowed Moria to aid him in
the execution of his stretching techniques, he was
against his master interrupting his battles or
Ighting them for him.[13]

Abilities and Powers

Oars's speed, strength, and size allow him to destroy entire

buildings with ease.

In life, Oars was an extremely strong beast, having

been given the epithet "Continent Puller" due to
his sheer power;[5] with LuLy's shadow animating
him as a zombie, he retains his enormous
strength,[25] allowing him to perform feats of
incredible strength like destroying enormous
chains restraining his body simply by standing up,
[26] shattering a large portion of a thick steel
freezer with a single punch,[17] easily moving the
massive rudder of Thriller Bark by himself,[27]
defeating all the General Zombies at once with a
barrage of punches,[27] and breaking a tower oL its
foundation to use as a weapon,[28] while his sheer
size and weight grant his attacks enough power to
eLortlessly destroy large buildings.[28] Despite his
massive size, Oars is surprisingly fast, having
launched a surprise attack on the General Zombies
by quickly leaping into the air before they could
restrain him[27] and later avoided several attacks
from the Straw Hat Pirates with his speed and
reUexes.[28][29][30] In addition, his body is incredibly
durable; simply disabling his already damaged
right arm required multiple powerful and
concentrated attacks from the Straw Hat Pirates.
[15][13][31][32] However, according to Chopper, even
Oars was not resilient enough to withstand
extreme cold without proper clothing, which was
the cause of his death.[13]

Being animated by LuLy's shadow allows Oars to replicate many of

his Devil Fruit-based techniques, such as Gomu Gomu no RiUe,
with the aid of Gecko Moria.

Due to having LuLy's shadow within him, Oars can

perform some of LuLy's Devil Fruit-based
techniques, namely Gomu Gomu no Pistol,[17]
Gomu Gomu no Gatling,[27] Gomu Gomu no Kane,
[24] Gomu Gomu no Kama (notably, Oars simply
sweeps a single arm at his opponent instead of
clotheslining them when using this technique due
to his size and inability to stretch), Gomu Gomu no
Kazan,[28] Gomu Gomu no Muchi,[30] Gomu Gomu
no Yari,[15] Gomu Gomu no Ono,[15] Gomu Gomu no
Bazooka,[15] Gomu Gomu no Stamp,[31] Gomu
Gomu no RiUe,[31] and Gomu Gomu no Bullet;[33]
he also has his own technique called Gomu Gomu
no Shirimochi ( , Gomu Gomu
no Shirimochi?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber
Butt Stomp"), where he leaps into the air before
crushing his opponents with his large rear end.[34]
This is called Gum-Gum Butt Stomp in the VIZ
manga and Funimation subs and Gum-Gum
Giant Butt Stomp in the dub. However, Oars
cannot stretch his limbs like LuLy does due to not
actually possessing the powers of the Gomu
Gomu no Mi,[17] though this usually does not
matter due to the tremendous reach of his arms.
[28] With the aid of Gecko Moria's Kage Kakumei,
Oars can stretch his limbs like LuLy does,
increasing both the power and range of his
attacks,[30] as well as contort his body in ways
that LuLy cannot, such as becoming a sphere for
the attack Oars Ball ( , Ōzu Bōru?);
[15] despite this, Oars's body still does not possess
the other attributes of LuLy's rubber—most
notably, he is still susceptible to attacks that LuLy
can normally withstand without injury, such as
blunt-force blows[35][13][31][33] and lightning.[30]

Since Oars is a zombie, he is immune to pain;[30]

this allowed him to withstand and get up from the
Straw Hat Pirates' attacks time after time with
seemingly no limit to his stamina or how much
damage he could endure,[36][32] eventually
requiring LuLy to completely shatter his spine.[33]
However, he still instinctively Uinched when he
was harmed[30] until he fully comprehended his
immunity to pain.[32] Chopper also points out that
since Oars cannot feel pain, he will not know
which parts of his body are damaged.[13] Like any
living being, if his bones and nerves are badly
damaged or destroyed, Oars cannot move.[37]

History

Biography

Oars was an evil giant called the Continent-Puller.

[5] Legend has it that he amassed countries and
islands under his control and his band of villains.[3]
He also had a family, as Little Oars Jr. is his
descendant.[10]

Five hundred years ago, Oars died in the Land of

Ice.[3] After examining Oars's corpse, Tony Tony
Chopper theorized that he died due to exposure to
the elements or frostbite upon Inding that the
giant had been unprepared for the frozen climate,
having worn only a loincloth. On top of this, Oars
had sustained a serious injury to his right arm,
which Hogback later repaired.[13]

Legacy

His fame as a terrible villain[3] and his status as

the "Continent-Puller" did not disappear over time.
[5] Ten years before encountering the Straw Hat
Pirates, Gecko Moria and Hogback obtained his
corpse in order to transform it into a zombie.[38]

Even Ive hundred years after his death, Oars is

known widely enough that high-ranking Marines
like Tsuru and Doberman recognized his
descendant, Little Oars Jr., on sight and were
visibly intimidated by the similar power he
displayed.[10]

Oars' reputation as a vicious warrior was passed

down through the history of Elbaph.[39]

Thriller Bark Saga

Thriller Bark Arc

Oars awakens after Moria animates him with Lu5y's shadow.

After Inding Oars's corpse in the Land of Ice,

Gecko Moria and Hogback began working on
restoring it so it could be used as a zombie,[38]
which involved replacing his right arm entirely due
to the damage it had suLered from frostbite[13]
and installing a cockpit in Oars's stomach.[14]
Oars's corpse was kept in a giant freezer on Thriller
Bark until a suitable shadow was found.[1]
Eventually, Moria obtained Monkey D. LuLy's
shadow and implanted it into Oars's corpse,
causing Oars to awaken once more. Due to LuLy's
shadow passing its former owner's personality
onto him, Oars broke the chains restraining him
and immediately began yelling for Sanji to make
him food, only to question who Sanji was.[26]

Oars breaks out of his freezer.

As the other zombies brought him piles of food,

Oars thanked Moria for letting him eat so much
despite not knowing who he was before admitting
that he still had not eaten enough. After silencing
the zombies who berated him for speaking to
Moria in such a way with a glare, Oars dismissed
Moria's claim that he had been revived to become
the Warlord of the Sea's underling and decided to
leave for the sea before punching through the
freezer containing him. Leaping outside, Oars
noted that his arm should have stretched before
proclaiming that he would become the Pirate King.
[17]

Oars explores Thriller Bark.

Soon after, Oars climbed up the main mast of

Thriller Bark and was amazed to discover that it
was actually a ship, which he decided to become
the Pirate King with. Moments later, Oars leaped
down in preparation for setting sail, only to land on
top of a stone stairway that the Straw Hat Pirates
were passing through, which was destroyed by
the impact, before landing on the ground below,
where Roronoa Zoro, Franky, Usopp, and Sanji
encountered him.[40]
Oars defeats the General Zombies.

As the Straw Hats expressed shock at his sheer

size, Oars picked up a large piece of rubble and
placed it on his head to simulate a pirate hat
before stating that he was ready to go on his
adventure now as he walked away.[41]

Soon afterward, Oars found the chain controlling

Thriller Bark's rudder and began pulling on it to see
if it would move, causing the massive ship to
begin tilting and shaking as its course changed.
When Absalom sent the General Zombies to stop
him, Oars decimated them with Gomu Gomu no
Gatling before angrily telling them to not interrupt
his adventure.[27]

Oars smashes through Hogback's mansion.

Later, a completely obedient Oars returned to the

freezer upon being summoned by Moria, whom he
declared was his master. After being ordered to
defeat the Straw Hats and return them to their
ship, Oars noticed LuLy and attacked him with
Gomu Gomu no Kane, causing his head to smash
through the mansion into the room where Nico
Robin and Tony Tony Chopper were facing oL
against Hogback and Victoria Cindry, both of
whom fell to the Uoor below. Not noticing Hogback
below or hearing his demands to look down, Oars
stepped on him before continuing to carve a path
of destruction through the mansion until he
reached the courtyard outside, where he
demanded that the Straw Hat Pirates show
themselves.[24]

Oars overwhelms the Straw Hat Pirates.

Upon being addressed as LuLy by Sanji, who

stood before him, Oars stated that LuLy was his
enemy and introduced himself before identifying
Sanji as being one of his targets despite his badly
drawn wanted poster. Oars attacked Sanji with
Gomu Gomu no Kama, but Sanji evaded and
attempted to attack his forehead with Collier Frit,
only for Oars to leap back before smacking Sanji
into a building. As Oars grabbed the wounded
Sanji, he was distracted when Usopp lit the top of
his head on Ire with Hi no Tori Boshi, prompting
him to throw Sanji to the ground and put out the
Ire before destroying the building that Zoro,
Franky, and Brook were standing on with a Uying
kick. Zoro attacked Oars with Nigori-Zake and
managed to slice oL one of his protruding fangs,
but Oars moved his head back to avoid the rest of
the slash before kicking Zoro high into the air with
Gomu Gomu no Kazan. Dodging the barrage of
bullets from Franky's Weapons Left, Oars grabbed
a tower and slammed it into the roof where Franky
and Brook were standing, sending them falling to
the ground below, before noticing Robin catching
Zoro with Spider Net. Usopp attempted to purify
Oars with a bag of salt, but quickly realized it was
too small a quantity to aLect such a large zombie
as Oars slammed the remnants of the tower into
the bridge where Usopp, Chopper, and Robin were
standing. As a wounded Usopp cursed him while
lying on the ground below alongside his
teammates, Oars stood over the seemingly
defeated Straw Hats while proclaiming that he
was the servant of Moria.[28]

Oars noted that this only left LuLy, Nami, and

Sogeking and wondered where they were before
punching through a nearby section of the mansion
to search for them, accidentally hitting some of
Perona's Wild Zombies in the process. As Oars
continues searching for the remaining Straw Hats,
he was surprised to see Zoro, Sanji, Usopp,
Chopper, Franky, and Robin get back to their feet
and prepare to Ight him once more.[42]

The Straw Hats manage to topple Oars.

Commending the Straw Hats for their strength

despite being so small, Oars leaped down from the
building he was lying on to confront them before
attacking with Gomu Gomu no Shirimochi, which
prompted Franky to initiate Pirates Docking 6: Big
Emperor. When Robin refused to join the
maneuver out of embarrassment, a shocked Oars
demanded to know why they stopped before
swatting Franky, Chopper, and Usopp away out of
irritation. After Sanji kicked a chunk of rubble at his
head, Oars turned to face him, only to suddenly
lose his balance when Usopp made his hand slip
on a puddle of oil. As Oars struggled to regain his
balance, Zoro knocked his left arm back with
Franky's pillar nunchuks, prompting Robin to
restrain it behind Oars's back as Franky and
Chopper delivered a powerful blow to Oars's jaw
with Super Frapper Gong. With Oars standing on
only one leg and his balance shaken due to his
brain being rattled, Sanji knocked him completely
oL his feet with Anti-Manners Kick Course,
sending Oars crashing through part of the
mansion while upside-down as he angrily
promised to send the Straw Hats Uying.[35]

An outraged Oars declared that he would Uatten

the Straw Hats without leaving even their bones
behind before realizing his horns were stuck in the
ground. Hearing this, the Straw Hats proceeded to
attack him while he lay defenseless and
screaming in terror before Oars managed to get to
his feet. Angrily telling the Straw Hats to stop,
Oars noted that they were like demons before
being distracted by Usopp and Chopper
pretending that there was a large amount of meat
to his right, allowing Zoro and Franky to topple him
by attacking his knees from behind. Annoyed that
there was no meat and that his legs hurt, Oars
prepared to attack the Straw Hats once more.[43]

Moria joins the battle by entering the cockpit within Oars.

As Oars's Ist approached him, Zoro pushed his

punch aside before Iring a powerful air slash at
him with Hyakuhachi Pound Ho, prompting Oars to
dodge it before admitting that it might have cut
him had he took it upon witnessing the
destruction it caused. After attacking the Straw
Hats with multiple stomps, Oars was surprised to
feel Thriller Bark moving out of the Florian Triangle
due to his prior shifting of the rudder. Moments
later, Oars was shocked to learn Moria had entered
a cockpit in his stomach and excitedly claimed
that the tension was rising. Upon noticing Usopp
running toward the mansion to Ind salt in its
kitchen, Moria had Oars smash the entrance and
Usopp with his Ist, though Usopp was saved by
Brook.[44]

Oars stretches his arm while using Gomu Gomu no Pistol, to his
surprise.

Struck by a large Hi no Tori Boshi from Usopp and

Franky, Oars panicked as part of his arm was set
on Ire before being hit in the side by a large
segment of a tower kicked at him by Sanji, who
kicked more tower segments at him with Jenga
Cannon. Angrily punching the tower segments
back at the Straw Hats as the Uames covering his
body dissipated, Oars dodged a launched Franky's
Mortar while kicking him into a building. As Oars
prepared to Inish Franky oL at Moria's behest, he
was struck by Nami's Thunderbolt Tempo, which
brieUy brought him down. However, Oars got to his
feet and managed to destroy the bridge that Nami
was standing on with a Gomu Gomu no Pistol that
stretched, to the shock of the Straw Hats
watching. Noting that stretching felt familiar, Oars
attacked the Straw Hats with Gomu Gomu no
Muchi as well.[30]

Oar's right shoulder is pierced by Rai Kotsu Ken: Gavotte Bond

Avant.

Attacking the Straw Hats with Gomu Gomu no

Kane, Oars proclaimed that stretching his body felt
great before unleashing Gomu Gomu no Yari on
them as well. When the Straw Hats wondered how
Oars was stretching, Moria revealed that he was
using Kage Kakumei to manipulate Oars's body
before transforming Oars's body into a sphere to
attack the Straw Hats with Oars Ball, prompting
Oars to ask Moria to not interfere with his Ight.
Shortly afterward, Oars was attacked by Brook,
who used being electrocuted by Nami and spun by
Robin to pierce Oars's right shoulder with Rai
Kotsu Ken: Gavotte Bond Avant. Zoro followed up
on this by slashing Oars with Nigiri Toro, but Oars
decided to deal with Brook Irst and attacked him
with Gomu Gomu no Ono before blocking Usopp's
Atlas Suisei attack with his right arm. Declaring
that Usopp was next, Oars attempted to attack
him with Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, but was
surprised when his arms did not stretch before
discovering that Robin was restraining Moria
within the cockpit.[15]

Oars pummels Sanji and Chopper after they further injure his
right arm.

Wondering why he could no longer stretch, Oars

watched as Moria outmaneuvered Robin and stole
her shadow before returning to the cockpit, which
prompted him to angrily remind Moria that he
promised to stay out of the Ight before attempting
to attack Robin with Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, only
for Sanji to deUect the attack with Frites Assorties.
However, Oars was surprised to Ind Chopper on
his shoulder and listened as the latter revealed
Oars's right arm had been replaced and could be
disabled with enough damage done to it. When
Oars punched his shoulder in an attempt to hit
him, Chopper moved into the space within his Ist
and teamed up with Sanji to hit Oars's right arm
with Armée de L'Air Kokutei Roseo Shoot, only for
an irritated Oars to pummel them both with Gomu
Gomu no Gatling after proclaiming that it would
not work.[13]

Oars is confronted by Nightmare Lu5y.

As Oars declared that this only left three people,

he had his right arm slashed in multiple places by
Zoro's Yashagarasu, which prompted him to
angrily smash Zoro into a building with his knee.
However, he was surprised when Usopp managed
to shoot a large bag of salt into his mouth, only for
Moria's Doppelman to emerge from his mouth
carrying the bag before throwing it at Usopp as
Moria revealed that he had been protecting the
inside of Oars's body for this very reason.
Attacking Usopp with Gomu Gomu no Stamp, Oars
continued to stomp on the same area multiple
times and did the same to Nami at Moria's behest
before turning around in shock upon hearing
Nightmare LuLy calling him out. Seeing Nightmare
LuLy had rescued Nami and Usopp, Oars attacked
him with Gomu Gomu no RiUe, but Nightmare
LuLy easily blocked his attack before punching
him in the jaw, which sent Oars Uying back, and
Uipping him over onto his head.[31]

LuLy grabbed Oars by the hair and slammed him

on the ground multiple times before throwing him
into the mansion. As Oars angrily tried to attack
him with Gomu Gomu no Bullet, LuLy slashed him
across the chest before hitting him with a Gomu
Gomu no Pistol that also struck Moria. Oars
attempted to smash LuLy into the ground with
Gomu Gomu no Ono, but was instantly
overwhelmed by a barrage of punches from
LuLy's Gomu Gomu no Storm, causing him to be
violently thrown back into the mansion in apparent
defeat.[33]

Lu5y defeats Oars by shattering his spine.

However, Oars stood up a few moments later and

claimed that none of LuLy's attacks had hurt at all.
Seeing Brook taking LuLy to the top of the main
mast, Oars demanded to know where they were
going before being drenched in water by Nami's
Rain Tempo, which allowed his legs to be frozen by
Franky and Usopp's low-temperature air cannon.
After Sanji wrapped the rudder's chain around
Oars's body, Zoro made Oars pull in his stomach
with Three Sword Style Ogi: Sanzen Sekai as the
chain pulled his torso back further, which caused
Oars's spine to be straightened out. Seeing LuLy
hurtling toward him, Oars attempted to hit him
with a Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, but found that he
could not move his right arm at all as LuLy
smashed his skull with Gomu Gomu no Gigant
Bazooka, completely shattering Oars's spine as he
fell over.[32]

Oars loses his shadow to Moria.

As he lay on the ground, Oars noted that he could

not move even though his body did not hurt. Soon
after, Moria used Shadow's Asgard to empower
himself, leading to him taking LuLy's shadow from
Oars's corpse and leaving it lifeless once more.[37]

Early Concepts

In early drafts, Oda had Oars wear an afro.[45]

Anime and Manga

Di5erences
While it is not speciIed happening in the manga,
the anime expands on Oars' color scheme by
having it appear diLerently before and after he
escapes the freezer. Within the freezer, he appears
grayer than his canonical coloring, similar to how
he appears in the eighth anime opening, while
outside the freezer, he appears as he does on Vol.
48 of the manga due to his body defrosting and
reacting to the outside air.[46]

While nothing noteworthy happened to Oars

between his defeat of the General Zombies and
his return to Moria originally in the manga, the
anime adds a scene where he journeys to the
edge of the island and swims in the moat between
the island and the walls surrounding it; notably, he
does so without accidentally purifying himself by
swallowing too much sea water.[47]

Translation and Dub Issues

Little Oars Jr.'s ship with the "Oars" name on the sail.

The Japanese characters used for Oars's name

( ) are the same as those used for the
Japanese rendition of the Norse God, Óðr.
However, due to the inability to translate the name
to an understandable English equivalent, Óðr was
generally not used in most early fan translations.
The two most popularly used names that were
used for the giant's name, prior the oocial
romanization, were Oz and Odz. Though either can
be used, both were slightly inaccurate.

Though initially unknown, the oocial romanization

of the giant's name was later revealed to be Oars
as written on a sail of a gigantic ship commanded
by Oars' descendant, Little Oars Jr.[48]

Nevertheless, his name is spelt by Toei Animation

as "Ohz" on the cover of his respective Log
Collection.

Merchandise

Oars Ichiban Kuji Figure.

As a major arc character, he is present in the

oocial merchandise. Oars has been featured in the
Ichiban Kuji One Piece with Nightmare LuLy, and
was released in the One Piece World Collectable
Figure series.

Trivia

Oars in Volume 777.

Oars makes a small cameo in Volume 777 as

part of the Author's Notes illustration. Here, he
has his size compared to regular giants and
humans, much like the anime-original scene
featured in Episode 355.
In a response to a fan who asked if Oars was a
giant from Elbaph, Oda responded that Oars is
a giant, but he is unusually large even by giant
standards and not of Elbaph origin. Oda
explained that Oars is similar to people in real
life who are notably larger than others, and
that he came from one of the many islands
around the One Piece world that have giants
inhabiting them.[4]
When Oars brieUy believes he is a robot after
Inding his stomach is a cockpit, not only does
he call himself Oars Bomber, but in the world
of Chopperman, LuLy is called LuLy Bomber
(this is referenced in the anime, when
Chopper, donning his Chopperman cape,
utters Oars Bomber in shock).
Oars makes a cameo in One Piece: Gigant
Battle and its sequel in the Enies Lobby stage,
where, if the player hit the Sea God OLers
barrel several times, he appears and attacks
the stage.
It is rumored that the country Oars created
still exists to this day.[6]
The Blue Deep databook stated that Oars is as
large as four giants, while his descendant
Little Oars Jr. is as large as two. However, per
the heights given in Vivre Card databook, the
two are only seven meters apart in height at
67 and 60 meters, respectively, which both are
about three times the height of a typical
grown giant.
Oars' favorite food is meat in general, as a
result of having LuLy's shadow.[6]
Oar's third biggest character in the anime, Irst
being Giants and second being Chopper
(when using three Rumble Balls).
