He is so tall that Luffy can fit in the palm of his hand. He is 160 years old, meaning he is a giant in his prime.
6. Yeti Cool Brothers (Rock and Scotch) – 42.5m (139’5″)

The Yeti Cool Brothers, known as the Killers of the Snowy Mountain, are two assassins in the service of Caesar Clown in Punk Hazard. They were sent to deal with the G-5 Marines and the Straw Hat Pirates. Their names are Rock and Scotch. They belong to an unknown tribe of giants. The Yeti Cool Brothers are two gigantic, humanoid-looking giants with long limbs and are covered in white fur all over their bodies, except for their fingers.
It is unknown if they are real yetis, though various characters believe this is due to their strong resemblance. Their height is far greater than that of ordinary giants, measuring just over 42 meters each. Even so, they are still shorter than Oars or Little Oars Jr. One of the brother's footprints is larger than Brook's. When the two men capture Franky under the orders of Caesar Clown, Scotch takes charge.
They wear blue shorts and bowler hats that are frozen at the top. Rock appears to be wearing a yellow bow or scarf. So far in the series, they have been seen exclusively covered in shadow, from their shoulders to their heads. Their faces, however, were revealed in a mini-book. Rock has been defined by facial features resembling a rigid, upright moai. Scotch wears a gas mask with goggles and canisters visible even from his silhouette.
5. Little Oars Jr. – 60 m (196'10")

Little Oars Jr. is the captain of the Little Pirates and a third-generation descendant of Oars, as well as an ally of the Whitebeard Pirates. He and other pirates from the New World came to Marineford to support Whitebeard and rescue Ace. Like Oars, he is at least twice the size of a normal giant.
Although Oars Jr. is shorter than his grandfather, his shape and build are reminiscent of his grandfather's, even though he lost his right leg when it was severed by Donquixote Doflamingo. He also wears three skulls as a necklace, instead of a belt. His most prized item of clothing is his Japanese-style straw hat, given to him by Ace.
4. Hatcha – 66.8 m (219’2″)

Hatcha is one of the Numbers of the Pirate Beasts. Like the rest of the Numbers, Hatcha is an extremely enormous man, taller than normal giants. He is somewhat stocky and has short blue hair, as well as a pair of white horns on his head. He wears blue-lensed sunglasses, an unbuttoned yellow jacket revealing his bare chest, pants of the same color, and shoes.
3. Oars – 67 m (219'10”)

Oars the Continent-Puller was an infamous ancient giant born over five hundred years before the current story. After his death, his body was dug up by the Thriller Bark Pirates and used to create the 900th zombie in Gecko Moria's zombie army. Due to his enormous size, even among most giants, Oars was the only zombie classified as a special zombie.
As a member of Moria's army and possessor of Monkey D. Luffy's stolen shadow, he was a major obstacle the Straw Hat Pirates faced during their adventure in Thriller Bark. He is the grandfather of Little Oars Jr. Due to his role and actions, he is considered one of the main antagonists of the Thriller Bark arc. Oars is a stocky giant and four times the size of a regular giant.
Like his grandson, Little Oars Jr., he belongs to a race of giants known as the "Ancient Giants": he has a pair of horns on his head, long hair, and a pair of enormous fangs protruding from his lower jaw. His arms are large compared to his legs. Being a zombie, like the others, he bears parts of other corpses and numerous scars. In his appearance, he only wears torn shorts with a cross-shaped bone and a belt with three skulls on it.
2. Wadatsumi – 80m (262’5″)

Wadatsumi, nicknamed the Great Monk, is a gigantic tiger pufferfish gyojin, a member of the Sun Pirates. He was formerly a member of the Flying Pirates. Wadatsumi is an enormous fish-man, equal in size to the head of the kraken, Surume. He is large enough to make the giants Shirahoshi and Megalo look like normal-sized mermaids and sharks. His round head and chest are quite large compared to his arms and legs. His hands are webbed.
His face is large and round, with a large mouth filled with massive, well-spaced round teeth, as well as childlike eyes. Wadatsumi has a three-day beard on his chin, and black hair that surrounds his head and takes the form of a protrusion at the top, also covering part of his shoulders. Likewise, his entire body is very hairy. He wears extremely loose pants paired with black clothing around his waist. He has also been seen walking barefoot.
1. Wolf Sanjuan – 180 m (590’6″)

Sanjuan Wolf is a giant nicknamed Colossal Battleship and one of the legendary criminals sentenced to life for his heinous crimes on Level 6 of Impel Down. He was freed by Marshall D. Teach and joined his crew. After the timeskip, he is one of the ten captains of the Titans, being the captain of the seventh ship.
Thanks in part to the power of his Devil Fruit, Wolf is a giant of extraordinary size, much larger than the former giants Oars and Little Oars Jr., and so large that he appears to be roughly the same size as the Marine headquarters at Marineford. The shape of his head and the arrangement of his beard resemble a chestnut tree, making his spiky, round, beige hair resemble the shell of a chestnut tree.
His facial features include round eyes surrounded by dark lines, as well as downward-pointing eyelash-like markings, similar to those found on Franky's face. He wears his Impel Down prison uniform and is always barefoot.
