Oimo

Oimo is a giant from Elbaph and a member of the Giant Warrior Pirates under Dorry and Brogy. He has a grandson attending the Walrus School on Elbaph; Olav. After being captured by the Marines 50 years ago, he and his comrade Kashii were tricked into serving as the guards of Enies Lobby’s main gate. During the Enies Lobby Arc, Oimo and Kashii defected against the World Government and allied themselves with the Straw Hat Pirates, Galley-La Company, and Franky Family. During the Egghead Arc, Oimo and Kashii became major allies of the Straw Hat Pirates as members of the Giant Warrior Pirates.Oimo is a giant from Elbaph and a member of the Giant Warrior Pirates under Dorry and Brogy.

During the Egghead Arc, Oimo and Kashii became major allies of the Straw Hat Pirates as members of the Giant Warrior Pirates.

Oimo has shown himself to be devoted to serving and helping his comrades and allies. Oimo does not take kindly to enemies threatening his friends or mocking him, but his rage can cause him to act rashly, such as when he tried to hit the Franky Family standing on Kashii’s body and ended up striking Kashii instead. Oimo was even willing to devote 100 years of his life to working for the World Government just to save his two captains from imprisonment, and when he thought he had failed in this duty, he wept bitterly. After allying with the Franky Family and Galley-La Company, Oimo and Kashii were even willing to risk themselves for them, as shown when they took the brunt of the Buster Call’s fire to keep their allies out of harm’s way. Oimo is very confident in his power as a giant and has no issue with using excessive force against smaller opponents. He takes the pride and customs of Elbaph extremely seriously, viewing Dorry and Brogy’s duel to the death as natural and nearly becoming very angry at Usopp when briefly under the impression that the pirate was mocking the giants’ pride. Like Kashii, Oimo does not take kindly to being deceived, and so immediately turned against the World Government after finding out they had lied to put them in service.

As a member of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Oimo became an enemy of the World Government and Marines, and so they captured him and Kashii upon encountering them at sea. Wanting the two giants’ tremendous strength, the World Government lied that they had captured Dorry and Brogy and successfully got Oimo and Kashii to serve as guards at Enies Lobby. The duo did not suspect any deception until Usopp exposed the lie by revealing that he had met Dorry and Brogy at Little Garden. This made Oimo and Kashii extremely angry at the World Government, and they immediately began working with the forces invading Enies Lobby and rampaged against any Marine or guard standing in their way.

As a giant, Oimo possesses immense physical strength. He and Kashii showed themselves to be vastly superior to the Kairiki Destroyers, a trio of large humans, by defeating each of them with a single attack. When attacking the World Government forces at Enies Lobby, Oimo used his vast frame to his advantage to quickly overpower the opponents around him. Oimo was shown ripping off part of a building with no effort during his rampage, and later he was able to carry the gigantic King Bull Sodom on his shoulder along with many Galley-La and Franky Family members who were on Sodom’s back. Oimo possesses a tremendous level of durability. Although he fainted after being rapidly spun around, he very quickly regained consciousness. He then proceeded to be struck in the back by Rocketman, a high-speed runaway train with a front section resembling a drill; he regained consciousness soon after this attack as well, and although the train left a noticeable dent in the skin on his back, he was not shown to have been impaled by it. Later, Oimo was hit by an extremely powerful cannonball barrage from a Buster Call fleet with the firepower to destroy an entire island, but he was shown to be conscious afterwards.

Attacks

Weapons

Oimo wields a very large wooden club with metal studs. He uses this in conjunction with his natural strength to strike enemies with immense force, and was even able to knock his fellow giant Kashii unconscious after accidentally striking him in the face with the club.

109 years ago, Oimo sailed with the Giant Warrior Pirates and rampaged across the world. However, his captains Dorry and Brogy began dueling 102 years ago after having a disagreement, and the rest of the crew decided to dissolve and return to their homeland of Elbaph, where they waited for the winner of the duel to return. However, many years passed and neither captain returned. Around 40 years after the crew’s dissolution, Oimo’s former crewmate Kashii voiced his concern about their captains, and Oimo said they should wait 10 more years before going to find them. At some point Oimo started a family and would eventually gain a grandson named Olav. 50 years after the crew’s dissolution, Oimo and Kashii decided to set out to sea and find their captains. However, they were captured by the Marines, and after being interrogated, they were told that Dorry and Brogy had been captured and were being held in a large prison. The World Government offered to free Dorry and Brogy if Oimo and Kashii guarded the gate to Enies Lobby for the next 100 years, and the duo agreed to this. Twenty-two years before the start of the series, Oimo and Kashii heard the news that the Pirate King Gol D. Roger had been executed. Kashii believed that there would be more pirates in the future, but Oimo was confident that they would not attack Enies Lobby.

Water 7 Saga

Enies Lobby Arc

When invading forces from the Franky Family broke through the Main Gate, Oimo and Kashii quickly woke up and leaped over the wall to confront them. The large Kairiki Destroyers moved to attack the two giants, but Oimo and Kashii immediately overpowered and defeated them. As the duo began battling the rest of the Franky Family, reinforcements from the Galley-La Company came in and managed to overpower Kashii with their tools and weapons. Oimo was shocked to see this and, in a fit of anger, tried striking them with his club, but instead hit Kashii right in the face and knocked him out. Oimo started attacking the invaders, but Mozu and Kiwi then announced that they had unlocked the Main Gate.

As Oimo turned to attack them, Paulie used Rope Action to instantly wrap a rope around the giant’s entire body. The King Bulls Sodom and Gomorrah then grabbed onto the end of the rope and spun Oimo around while they charged into the gate to open it. When the gate was opened, Oimo fell onto the ground and briefly fainted. He quickly regained consciousness and stood up to begin attacking again, but was then suddenly struck in the back by the flying runaway Sea Train Rocketman, knocking him out once again. After regaining consciousness, Oimo remained on the ground and started weeping as he believed that Dorry and Brogy would remain imprisoned now that he and Kashii had failed in their duty.

The pirate Usopp then came to him and asked if he was really from Elbaph. Oimo decided to tell him about how he and Kashii started working for the World Government in order to free their captains from imprisonment, but Usopp then revealed that he had met Dorry and Brogy and that the World Government had lied about capturing them. Oimo believed Usopp, and when Kashii got back up and rejoined him, the duo began rampaging through Enies Lobby and attacking the World Government forces to punish them for their deception. The guards were powerless to put a stop to the giants’ rampaging, and some of the Galley-La members started riding with Usopp on the duo’s shoulders as Usopp told them to head toward the Courthouse. Oimo and Kashii quickly reached the Courthouse, and noted how the giant frog Yokozuna had valiantly kept the guards at bay before they got there.

They then started attacking the guards to keep them out of the Courthouse, and quickly gained the upper hand. However, the guards were eventually able to overwhelm the giants and invaders and tie them up. From outside the Courthouse, they then heard Spandam speaking over the intercom about how he had called in a Buster Call on Enies Lobby. The guards immediately fled to escape the island before it was destroyed, and the giants and invaders were able to break free of their ropes. Oimo and Kashii ran toward the front gate, carrying the injured Sodom and Gomorrah as well as the Franky Family and Galley-La fighters. The group then saw the Tower of Justice being hit with a cannon blast as the Buster Call’s bombardment began. The group eventually made it out of the Main Gate, but found themselves confronted by three massive Marine battleships. The battleships then opened fire on the main island, and Oimo and Kashii took the brunt of the bombardment as they and their allies were sent plummeting into the bottomless pit below the island. However, since the Galley-La workers were kept out of harm’s way, Paulie managed to use Rope Action to keep the group attached to the side of the island. Oimo was held to the cliff by his ankles, and commented that blood was rushing to his head. The giants, Galley-La, and Franky Family managed to get to the Puffing Tom and ride it out of Enies Lobby as the Straw Hat Pirates successfully sailed past the Buster Call fleet on the Going Merry, making their mission a success.

Postenies Lobby Arc

Two days after the raid, Oimo and Kashii were in Water 7 helping the Galley-La workers repair the wreckage of the dock. Having learned that Dorry and Brogy were still dueling, they decided to return to Elbaph rather than reunite with their captains, and invited Usopp to come with them. Later, the giants and workers joined the Straw Hats at the Galley-La pool and celebrated with a big feast. Usopp decided to decline the giants’ invitation but promised that he and the Straw Hats would one day come to Elbaph and reunite with them.

Thriller Bark Saga

Where They Are Now

Oimo and Kashii set sail from Water 7 for Elbaph. At one time after leaving Water 7, they had traveled to Little Garden to see their captains, Dorry and Brogy, with the intention to stop their duel temporarily so that Dorry and Brogy could travel to Elbaph to get new weapons.

Final Saga

Egghead Arc

After returning to Elbaph, Oimo and Kashii were reunited with Dorry and Brogy. The giants were in the bar with Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates when the Kid Pirates began attacking the Emperor’s subordinate crews near Elbaph. Oimo and Kashii watched as their captains sank the Victoria Punk. Afterwards, the Giant Warrior Pirates sailed to Egghead in order to pick up the Straw Hats. They reached the island after the Buster Call had begun, so they attacked the Marines’ ships.

The giants made landfall and spread out across the island, continuing to destroy the ships. Later on, Oimo and Kashii would take notice of Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro’s attempted attack on Jewelry Bonney and her allies. After Nusjuro injured Sanji, the two giants jumped to his defense, holding the Elder back from injuring him further as Bonney turned into giant and attacked Nusjuro. Nusjuro managed to free himself and attacked Bonney, Oimo, and Kashii, with Oimo being pushed to the ground. Oimo then witnessed Nusjuro cutting their ship’s head off while trying to kill Bonney after which Nusjuro left. After the clash, Oimo and Kashii were ordered by Dorry and Brogy to set sail from Egghead with the Giant Warrior Pirates, but the crew was ambushed by some Vice Admirals, during which Kashii was directly defeated by Doll. The crew however managed to safely set sail and were later joined by Dorry, Brogy and Luffy, but they were later once again attacked this time by Marcus Mars but were saved by a combined attack by Luffy, Bonney, Franky and Sanji, until the next Elder, Topman Warcury, tried to sink the ship but was stopped and punched back by Emet, who was emerging from the water, shocking everyone present. The crew couldn’t catch a break though, as their ship became the target of Jaygarcia Saturn, who latched onto the ship intending to kill Luffy and Bonney, though he was repelled by both. The crew, with the Straw Hats, Bonney, Kuma, Lilith and the Thousand Sunny, were finally able to leave Egghead after the remaining Elders were forcibly sent back by a massively powerful Haki burst released by Emet, with their destination set to finally be Elbaph. Later the Giants and the Straw Hats were having a feast to their successful escape from Egghead.

Elbaph Arc

After the feast, everyone noticed that six of the Straw Hats (Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji and Chopper) were missing, but after everyone failed to find them, Franky called off the search. The Giants then listened to Robin reading from the newspapers about the Egghead Incident and were astonished to know that both Dorry and Brogy’s bounties were reactivated and raised substantially, as well as the Giant crew and the Straw Hats being framed as the instigators of the Egghead Incident and Luffy the murderer of Vegapunk. When Dorry and Brogy shared their impression with Luffy’s new status as one of the Four Emperors, they expressed pride at the fact that Hajrudin had sworn loyalty to Luffy, as he was also the son of the king of Elbaph. They then further explained the troubled history of Hajrudin and his half-brother, Loki, to the Straw Hats and what the reason was he was chastised by the entirety or Elbaph. Both Oimo and Kashi later felt nostalgy when they saw Robin having a new haircut being done by Brook so that Saul would recognize her, as they and the crew then reached the shores of Elbaph where they were greeted by Colon before they used a “painter” to create a rainbow which took all of them directly to the home village of Dorry and Brogy. Oimo and Kashii later joined their fellow giants in a toast to the Straw Hats defeating Kaidou and Big Mom and declare their fellowship and loyalty to Luffy, just before they all were surprised to see Elder Jarul appearing at the feast. Later on, Oimo and Kashii were telling Usopp about the legend of the “Mountain Eater” and “Ya-San”, a former pirate who had been living on Elbaph for the past 20 years. As they saw both Usopp’s shock and surprise about this pirate’s story, they further revealed that he used to be “The Left Hand of the Pirate King” who was on equal terms with both Gol D. Roger and Silvers Rayleigh, before revealing him to be Scopper Gaban, shocking Usopp entirely.
