The existence of giants in the setting makes it not all that weird; presumably some humans have varying degrees of giant ancestry. We know that fishman-human and fishman-giant hybrids are possible, so it makes sense that there would be human-giant hybrids too.

Edit: We do also have examples of a human (Linlin) and a mermaid (Shirahoshi) who are much larger than their parents, but Linlin is specifically presented as a one-of-a-kind freak of nature.

I thought Shirahoshi was specifically a giant goldfish mermaid or something like that. Also unrelated, I love that Oda dropped the bit of lore where fishmem/merpeople can just randomly inherit any of their family tree’s lineages as an excuse to have as many out there designs as possible.

Do merpeople have heights, or do they have lengths? Or is it a mix of torso height and tail length?

I like how Big Mom has been thirsty for a Giant for like 60 years, but none of them will call her back. It's just a weird thing that only makes sense in the foundational insanity of the One Piece world.

To be fair she did kind of burn down a whole village, murder one of their great heroes, and then eat a bunch of children. If anything the fact that their primary beef with her these days is that the daughter she was trying to marry off to them ran away says a lot about the Giants' patience with her.

Do I remember right that the marriage she had almost arranged for her daughter was with the Prince of the Giants? I feel like that Prince has been mentioned a few times but never actually seen(?), and that he's going to end up being an important character in the series, presumably when the Strawhats go to Elbaf.

It was always shameful how he was stepping out on Angrbođa to get with Lola. Poor girl already gave him a pass for his fling with Svađilfari, and he's still at it.

Yeah I believe the Prince become infatuated with Lola, Big Mom thought it was an opportunity to mend the rift with the Giants after the whole "killing a lot of them" situation and then instead got worse when Lola escaped.

No way my boy, T-Bone, is dead. Not off screen. The only way he dies is feeding his own body to this villagers. There isn't a more charitable character in One Piece, guy is pretending to be dead so they get money and he's going to be part of a movement in the Marines to stop being dicks.

I am a bit confused by Sabo's statement at the end. If/when the government finds out he survived and returned to the Revolutionary Army, wouldn't they cleanse the entire army even if he did not tell anyone, let alone Dragon and Ivankov? The government deleted a whole island/kingdom/nation because of him.

I think it's the other way around, they were deleting the island and he happened to have ended up on it "How unfortunate for him".

If they could simply eliminate the Revolutionary Army they would have probably done so ages ago. Sabo notably hasn't made anything he saw public yet even though it would be very relevant for the Revolutionaries' cause, so I feel like there's something more to this.
