The Lore About The Giant Warrior Pirates in One Piece

• The giant warrior pirates terrorized the world
• Dorry and Brogy fought each other

The story of the Giant Warrior Pirates has always been exciting One Piece world. The giants live much longer than humans, which means their knowledge goes back centuries. The Giant Warrior Pirates are a legendary pirate crew that existed over three centuries ago, and fans don't know how far back it goes. What fans do know is that about 300 years ago, Jarul and Jorul used to be the co-captains of the crew. They used to be legendary warriors, but at some point, around 102 years or more ago, they relinquished control of the crew.

They terrorized the whole world a long time ago!

It was here that Dorry and Brogy rose to become Co-Captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. Around this time, the Giant Warrior Pirates were known to be legendary throughout the world. It is believed that they could terrorize the whole world, such was their power. It could be said that they were easily one of the strongest pirate crews of the time, and their strength was absolutely immense. The portrayal that Oda gave of these incredibly powerful giants was magnificent.

However, the co-captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates ended up in a duel over a hunting contest when a little girl asked him who had caught the bigger prey. This led to Dorry and Brogy fighting for about 102 years, and until recently they were still engaged in their proud battle. This eventually led to the disbanding of the Giant Warrior Pirates and the remaining members scattered throughout the world as well.

At some point, some members of the Giant Warrior Pirates were executed in Marineford. It was here that Mother Carmel stopped their execution by reminding the marines that their execution would cause a war between the giants and the humans. And at the same time that it would also bring down on them divine retribution from heaven. Mother Carmel was loved by the giants for this, and because of her the giants were able to return to Elbaf again. Sadly, with the battle of Dorry and Brogy at the Little Garden, the Giant Warrior Pirates basically died. Although Oimo and Kashi, who were under the command of these enormously powerful individuals, tried to look for them, they were eventually tricked by the government and until recently did not know that their captains were still alive and at Little Garden.

After the events of Enies Lobby, Oimo and Kashi went on a hunt to find Dorry and Brogy, and it was recently revealed in the Egghead arc that they had successfully managed to do so. Noticing that Dorry and Brogy's weapons were old and battered, Oimo and Kashi convinced them to go home and get new weapons. Until then, they called off their duel. Now Dorry and Brogy are back in Elbaf and they are also fulfilling their duty to protect Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, who were recently seen on Egghead.

The Bounties of the Co Captains of the Giant Pirates

Dorry and Brogy now have 1.8 billion Berry Bounties

In One Piece chapter 1130, Oda shocked the entire fanbase by revealing the rewards of the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. Essentially, it was revealed that both Dorry and Brogy have a substantial bounty of 1.8 billion berries. This is an absolutely huge reward, no matter how the fans look at it. In fact, it is much larger than what most Yonko first companions have in it One Pieceand it touches Yonko's territory. So far the highest reward for a Yonko Commander i One Piece is 1.390 billion berries, belonging to King the Wildfire. Of course, then there's also Mihawk and Crocodile to consider, but given that they were former warlords and are currently in a partnership with Buggy, their case is somewhat different.

1.8 billion? We had no intention of returning to the world! – Dorry and Brogy

But one must also remember that Dorry and Brogy are not separate entities. They serve together as Co-Captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, meaning that the captain of the crew essentially has a bounty of 3.6 billion berries, which is an absolutely staggering bounty. This puts them second only to Blackbeard and Shanks among the Pirates of the One Piece World, and that's quite a statement and a half.

There are also other members of the Giant Warrior Pirates in the One Piecebut fans don't know much about them. The only ones that fans know properly are Oimo and Kashi, and even before the time jump they were very powerful. Ever since then, they have likely grown enormously in terms of strength and skill. They are probably using top class Haki right now, and also have other powerful abilities up their sleeves.

Of course, Oda will most likely reveal more members of the Giant Warrior Pirates in the Elbaf arc. Considering the co-captains essentially have a cumulative reward of 3.6 billion berries, the lower commanders should be around a billion berries or close, at least. This essentially paints a picture of how strong the Giant Warrior Pirates really are and is consistent with Oda's depiction of them terrorizing the entire world long ago.

How strong are the giant pirates?

The giant pirates should be next to a Yonko crew

The question of how strong the Giant Warrior Pirates are is easy to answer. The Giant Warrior Pirates are certainly among the strongest in the world One Piece world. It could be said that after the Yonko crews, they are likely one of the strongest, and depending on how strong and formidable Oda makes other pirates under Dorry and Brogy to be, they could be close to rivaling the Yonko crews themselves. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, given that Oda clearly stated through Big Mom that the Giants are the strongest race in the entire One Piece world, and at the same time, if they had allied with her, she would have been able to defeat everyone other Yonko, including Whitebeard himself, and claimed the title of Pirate King, and fans will finally see why they are hyped to be as powerful as they are in the Elbaf Arc.
