Editing One Piece (section)

==Races==
Aside from the obligatory [[human]]s, the world of One Piece is full of strange humanoid races, though we don't know much about any of them.

[[Giant]]s are known to inhabit this world, and are native to the [[Viking]]-flavored island of Elbaf. They are huge, strong and generally an honorable race.

Fishmen are a race of aquatic humanoids with physical traits of various fish - these traits appear at random for each child, so parents of one species may have features of an entirely difference species. Their size varies wildly, and they can be incredibly large. What distinguishes them from the [[merfolk]] is that they are always bipedal. Fishmen can breathe underwater and are roughly ten times stronger than the average human, although that varies between individuals. Whilst fishmen and merfolk live at peace, there's a long and bloody history between them and humanity. Despite this, fishmen and humans are capable of crossbreeding.

[[Merfolk]] inhabit the deep sea of the Grand Line and are distinguished from their fishmen relatives by always appearing as human from the waist up, and a fish from the waist down. When female merfolk reach the age of 30, they gain access to a low level of shapeshifting that allows them to split their tail into two fin-footed legs, allowing them to walk on land, as well as fuse it back together to restore their incredible swimming speed. Like fishmen, merfolk vary widely in size. Merfolk and fishmen can interbreed, in which case their offspring will randomly be either fishman or merfolk.

Fishmen and giants are known to be able to interbreed, creating hybrids called "Wotans". Some fans have speculated that the many absurdly large humans who show up throughout One Piece canon may actually be [[Half-Giant]]s or the distant descendants of human/giant interbreeding.

Long-Arms, Long-Legs and Long-Necks are [[abhuman|human subspecies]] characterized by unusually long and flexible bodyparts. These races are probably based on the Japanese yokai Tenaga-jin, Ashinaga-jin, and [[Rokurokubi]] respectively. We don't know much about these races, beyond that Long-Arms have a reputation as thieves and tricksters.

Triclops/Three-Eyes are another [[abhuman|human subspecies]], distinguished by the presence of a third eye in the center of their forehead. Not much is known about them as we only see a character of mixed parentage, but they can apparently achieve a "true awakening" with their third eye, which lets them hear the Voice of All Things.

Minks are a race of [[beastfolk]] who are found only on the wandering realm of Zou, an island-sized landmass that sits atop of a gigantic elephant named Zunisha that eternally roams the sea. It's unknown where they originated from, with fans speculating that they may have some connection Zoan type Devil Fruits, but like fishmen and merfolk, their animal species is random and not defined by strict parental heritage. They possess superhuman physical abilities, including the ability to generate powerful electrical attacks via an energy/fighting style they call "Electro", and can achieve a super-powered berserker state called "Sulong" by staring at the full moon.

[[Dwarves]] exist in the world of One Piece, but are tiny, inches-tall wingless [[fairy]]-like people known for their skill at gardening. Far stronger than what their size would suggest.

"Skyfolk" are a collection of human subspecies who inhabit the Sky Oceans. They can be distinguished by the vestigial wings sprouting from their backs.

Lunarians are a near-extinct human subspecies. They have silver-white hair and brown skin, sport black wings which are fully functional unlike the Skyfolk, and have a constant plume of fire burning from their upper back. They have the natural ability to produce flames, and are exceptionally tough. As mentioned, they are near extinct, with only one known survivor existing. Furthermore, the World Government has created artificial Lunarians called Seraphim, which are also cyborg clones of powerful individuals, to serve as living weapons and replace the Warlord system.

And Deities did exist, once upon time.
