Akainu stands at an impressive 306 cm (10 ft) and is one of the tallest admirals in the anime. He currently holds the title of Fleet Admiral of the Marines. A title he got after the retirement of the previous leader of the Marines, Sengoku. Also known as Sakazuki, Akainu is one of the main antagonists of One Piece.
Everyone knows Akainu for his stern disposition and strict principles, and when you add this to his imposing frame and muscular build, it makes him look every bit the villain he is. He is easily recognizable in a form-fitting maroon suit and Marine cap. Unlike other admirals, he prefers to leave his collar unbuttoned, leaving his red flower-patterned shirt visible underneath. He also has a large tattoo of several interwoven flowers drawn in black ink across his chest and part of his neck.
10. Blackbeard

Blackbeard is another gigantic figure in the world of One Piece, standing at a height of 344cm (11’3 ft). Everyone knows him as Blackbeard and only a few know him by his real name: Marshall D. Teach. Blackbeard is one of the infamous Four Emperors and the leader of the dreaded Blackbeard Pirates, making him one of the stronger opponents Luffy, the series’ protagonist, has faced.
His signature look features a large, round upper body and slim limbs, alongside his cracked teeth and scruffy black beard, from which he gets his iconic name. He was a prominent antagonist in many arcs, including the Impel Down, Drum Island, Marineford, and Final Saga arcs. Blackbeard has consistently proven that he is not a character to be messed with, and he has the inches to prove it.
9. Charlotte Oven

Charlotte Oven towers above many of his One Piece counterparts at 492 cm (16’1 ft). He is one of the leading members of the Big Mom Pirates and the fourth son of the Charlotte family. He is known for his fierce loyalty to his family, especially his mother, whom he adores. Due to his deep-rooted sense of loyalty to his family, he often gets into battles against other characters to defend them.
In the Whole Cake Island Arc, Charlotte Oven lashed out at Luffy and picked a fight with him after hearing that Luffy had defeated his older brother, Charlotte Katakuri.
His character design is primarily filled with shades of orange, from his blond curved hair and spiky beard to his wide-collared cloak. This gives him an almost god-like appearance and adds to his menacing personality and stature.
8. Bartholomew Kuma
![One Piece 368 Bartholomew Kuma is one of the tallest characters in One Piece.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/One-piece-Episode-368-Bartholomew-Kuma.jpg)
Kuma is one of many antagonist-turned-ally characters within the series. He is 688.3 cm (22’7 ft) tall and possesses the Devil Fruit powers of the Paw-Paw Fruit, which gives him impressive defensive capabilities. Kuma is a cyborg and is also known by other names such as The Invincible Slave and Tyrant. Early on in the Anime, he was formerly a part of the Shichibukai and later became an officer of the Revolutionary Army.
Kuma is a huge, dark-skinned man with a broad upper body and slim lower body. He can often be seen holding a large purple Bible. Kuma’s past is a troubled one. After being exiled from his home, the Sorbet Kingdom, he became a slave to the World Government and had to live at the whim of the World Nobles. Luckily, he was released by Saro and Monkey D. Dragon, Luffy’s father.
7. Wadatsumi
![One Piece 525 wadatsumi is a giant fishman, who worked under Hordy now helping Luffy.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/One-Piece-525-Watsadasumi-1024x576.jpg)
This is arguably one of the tallest characters in the entire One Piece universe. Wadatsumi is a colossal fish-man standing at an impressive 800 cm tall, giving him a hulking and intimidating presence. His skin is a vibrant shade of blue, characteristic of fish-men, and he sports a pair of imposing tusks protruding from his lower jaw. Wadatsumi’s attire consists of a simple loincloth and a bandana wrapped around his head.
He possesses incredible physical strength, allowing him to lift enormous objects and engage in formidable combat effortlessly. Despite his initially hostile appearance, Wadatsumi is quickly actually one of the least malicious characters in the anime. He eventually aligns himself with the Straw Hat Pirates and becomes a loyal ally. His distinctive size and aquatic heritage make him a memorable addition to the diverse characters in the One Piece world.
6. Big Mom
![One piece 813 Big Mom is one of the tallest characters and she is obsessed with the giants.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/One-Piece-813-Big-Mom-and-the-Crew-1024x576.jpg)
Another gigantic figure in One Piece is Big Mom, who pulls an astonishing height of 880 cm (28’10 ft). Big Mom, or Charlotte LinLin, is the powerful matriarch of the Charlotte Family. She’s also the leader of the Big Mom Pirates and one of the anime’s most iconic antagonists. Her impressive stature alone gives her an edge over her opponents, and that, coupled with her Soul-Soul Devil Fruit power, makes her quite the formidable foe.
Even as a child, Big Mom had a large physique. As a toddler, she was relatively the size of a giant child, and as an adult, she is the tallest human in the series so far. Everyone knows her for her loyalty and immense love for her children and the Homies of Totto Land, whom she created and ruled over.
5. Morley
![One Piece 880 Morley is a giant working in the Revolutionary Army.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/One-Piece-880-Morley-1024x576.jpg)
Similarly to other giants, Morley has a huge, imposing frame, causing her to tower above even the tallest structures in the anime. She is 1253 cm (41’1 ft) tall and is one of the key figures of the Revolutionary Army, as she commands its West Army. Morley is also a Newkama. In fact, created Newkama Land herself while tunneling away from Impel Down, where she was kept as a prisoner. Even though One Piece portrays her as a loyal, jovial, and non-violent person, it doesn’t mean she’s not a strong fighter.
Morley is one of the strongest giants, and her Paramecia Devil Fruit power allows her to manipulate the ground as she pleases. She often wears little to no clothes except a cropped red plaid skirt, belts across her large chest and forearms, black gloves, a massive weapons carrier, and a small bowler hat.
4. Jaguar D. Saul
![One Piece 275 Jaguar D Saul is a Giant that Saved Robin from her doom on Ohara.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/One-piece-Episode-275-Jaguar-D-Saul.jpg)
Jaguar D. Saul is one of the more friendly giants in One Piece. He stands at an intimidating 1950 cm (64 ft) and easily surpasses all the humans in the anime. His imposing size is, however, a contrast to his shy, easy-going, and unassuming personality. This personality has caused him to oppose the barbaric acts of the Eidar giants many times. Unlike other giants who act according to the strict laws of Absolute Justice, Jaguar leans more towards Moral Justice and believes in fairness for all creatures.
Like other giants, the Jaguar has a large upper body, a small head, and big club-like forearms. Before he left his position as Vice Admiral of the Marines, he often wore the standard Marine cloak and cap. Now, he wears a tattered black shirt and gray shorts.
3. Yeti Cool Brothers
![One Piece 591 Yeti Cool Brothers appear in the Punk HAzard Arc and they are huge.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/One-Piece-591-Yeti-Cool-Brothers-1024x576.jpg)
The 25-year-old Yeti Cool Brothers are one of the tallest characters in One Piece. They tower over others at 4250 cm (139’5 ft), far taller than the average giant. The brothers are Rocky and Scotch and are famous in One Piece for their vicious nature. They worked as assassins for the infamous villain Caesar Clown before Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates defeated him and were more than happy to carry out his ruthless orders, irrespective of who their target was.
Their background is shrouded in just as much mystery as they are, and fans of the anime won’t be surprised to hear that their faces are never fully shown in the main series. Instead, A dark shadow covers their furry bodies that extends from the top of their heads to their shoulders, giving them an ominous, scary look.
2. Hatcha
![One Piece 987 Hatcha is a Giant Working under Kaido.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/One-Piece-987-Hatcha-1024x576.jpg)
Hatcha is a prominent member of the Numbers, a group of experimental giants that work with Kaido’s Beasts Pirates. He is an enormous character and stands at an overwhelming height of 6680 cm (219’2″). Hatcha’s gargantuan size gives him an unbelievable amount of strength and makes it easy for him to wield his signature weapon, a large black spiked mace. Unlike other giants, he has two sharp horns protruding from the sides of his head, giving him a devilish appearance.
His signature outfit is a bright yellow tracksuit, which he prefers to wear unzipped, exposing his upper body. He also wears yellow-laced shoes and stylish dark blue sunglasses. Hatcha’s stature and reckless nature make him a dangerous antagonist within the series and put him high up on the list of Luffy’s most iconic opponents.
1. Zunesha
![One Piece 774 Zunesha is the tallest Character in One piece and is the old Ally of Joy Boy.](https://www.gamescooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/One-Piece-774-Zunesha-1024x561.jpg)
