Appearance

Little Oars Jr. is an abnormally large giant, standing at around 60 meters tall, which is about three times the size of a typical grown giant. His nickname is a tribute to his ancestor Oars who was taller. His overall shape and silhouette resembles his ancestor greatly: large forearms and hands, small lower body and barrel-like gut. His skin is yellow-green and he has orange hair reaching down to his legs, which are quite small in comparison to his large belly and hairy forearms. He has large fangs and horns pointing upward, black triangle-like marks just above his eyes, and some stubble on his chin. He also wears three skulls on a beaded necklace rather than a belt, but the most notable item among his effects is a gigantic kasa hat that Ace made for him, which is usually seen resting on his back in a similar fashion to Luffy. He also sports a black, open garment that looks like a jacket, samurai-like armor plates protecting his chest and back, linked together by chains, and a loincloth with a mimetic pattern on it which looks like the Marine’s battleships’ hull and which is held up by a fur-lined belt….

Personality

Little Oars Jr. seems to be a very caring and kind person at heart. As shown in flashbacks, he was carefree and appreciated the little things in life, such as the straw hat Ace made for him. He is also shown to be very determined and loyal, as demonstrated when he went straight through enemy lines to rescue Ace. He’s also shown to be quite stubborn as despite being hit by Kuma’s Ursus Shock, impaled by Gecko Moria’s Tsuno-Tokage and having one of his legs severed by Doflamingo he still kept on going to save his trusted companion. This mirrors his ancestor’s determination and endurance, but contrasts with his brutal, ruthless nature.

Relationships

Portgas D Ace

Little Oars Jr. had a great friendship with Ace, symbolized through the gigantic kasa that Ace made for him. It is shown both cooling him down and protecting him from the elements, with Oars contentedly remarking that his head is protected. For their friendship, Little Oars Jr. is determined to save Ace’s life, risking his life and limb.

Crew

His crew is made up of normal sized humans that are imitating his look, with fake yellow jaws with big fangs and long orange hair. They seem to care deeply for their captain, as in flashbacks they were often seen showing concern about his well being when he preferred to sit out in the cold and rain, than taking shelter.

Abilities And Powers

Little Oars Jr. is a fearsome pirate who has managed to make a name for himself in the New World and allying himself with the Whitebeard Pirates. In addition, he has obtained a bounty of 550,000,000, which indicates his power and danger.

Physical Abilities

As a giant of immense size, Little Oars Jr. has incredible strength, enough to lift both Marine battleships and one of Whitebeard’s paddle ships and throw them, the first for destruction, and the second as a way of helping his allies to enter the Plaza. He also displayed incredible fortitude in proportion with his own size, since he was relatively unfazed after receiving several cannon shots from the marines prior to being felled by Kuma’s Ursus Shock. Oars also has immense stamina and pain tolerance; he sustained injuries from three Warlords of the Sea, incoming Marine officers and the Marines’ artillery without once losing his resolve to save Ace, and standing back on his feet after a short time. He was able to beat Vice Admiral Lacroix effortlessly and it took an enormous amount of damage for him to lose consciousness and pass out.

History

Past

Sometime in the past, Little Oars Jr. and Portgas D. Ace became friends. As a gesture of friendship, Ace gave Oars a kasa, which he had learned to make in Wano Country, though it took him three tries since he burned the previous two due to his Mera Mera no Mi powers. Having been given such a great gift, Oars was able to happily stay in the wide open without getting wet from rain, hot from the sun, or having snow pile up on his head.

Marineford Arc

When Little Oars Jr. found out that Ace was to be executed, he and his crew immediately joined Whitebeard’s forces to save him. At Marineford, Oars plowed through the Marine forces regardless of his own health and safety. Having recklessly charged into the defending marines, he was struck by Kuma’s Ursus Shock and had the lower half of his right leg severed by Doflamingo. Despite his severe wounds, Oars pressed ever forward, determined to save his old friend.

However, just as he was about to reach Ace, Oars was impaled by Moria through the chest. Unable to go on, he collapsed on the battlefield, allowing his allies to use the…

Translation And Dub Issues

The name “Oars III” is written on the bottom of the Jolly Roger. This also ended the debate of how to spell Oars’ name, because before this it was romanized in many different ways: Oz, Odz, Odr, and Oor.

Trivia

His flag indicates he is the third person in his family to bear his ancestor’s name. The Blue Deep databook stated that Oars Jr. is as large as two giants, while his ancestor Oars is as large as four. However, per the heights given in Vivre Card databook, the two are only seven meters apart in height at 60 and 67 meters, respectively, which both are about three times the height of a typical grown giant. Little Oars Jr.’s favorite food is onigiri. Road claims that there are no living pureblooded Ancient Giants in the contemporary world. This may suggest that Oars Jr. may have mixed blood, in spite of his resemblance to Oars, or that he is deceased.
