However, according to legend, once every few centuries a mermaid is born with the ability to speak to the Sea Kings on that day the world will change forever, then one day a man will appear to guide that mermaid. Ryuboshi once commented that he always dreamt of riding on the back of a Sea King. This indicates that they are very different from the other aquatic inhabitants of the ocean. Vice Admiral Momonga implied that Sea Kings cannot be fooled for very long, though, and that they'll eventually notice the ship anyway.Įven though the Mermaids can communicate with fish in the sea, the Sea Kings are beyond their reach. The Marines use this to their advantage and cover their ships with Seastone to avoid being attacked by Sea Kings. When something is covered in Seastone, they will not notice the object at all, as they'll mistake it for the ocean. Their perception, however, can be easily fooled by Seastone. Many people, such as Franky, see the act of killing one a sign of strength and achievement. The fish-man Jinbe also acknowledged the danger Sea Kings posed after summoning whale sharks into the Calm Belt, thus proving at the very least fish-men are also aware of their potential threat. Confrontation with one by a few humans is inadvisable and is considered nothing short of suicide. Only the strongest of ships or captains can take on a Sea King. Giants, who are incredibly strong themselves.Blue Gorillas, Impel Down guards who are extremely good swimmers and incredibly strong, cutting Sea Kings up for food.Yuda, who are too ferocious even for them and also poisonous.Bananawani, their only natural predator.Most other creatures in the ocean fear the Sea King, with some notable exceptions: Cases have arisen where some islands in the Grand Line close to the edge of the Calm Belt (their natural breeding ground) have ended up almost completely cut off from the rest of the world due to the Sea Kings. They are powerful predators and attack unprovoked with no fear or signs of backing down. Sea Kings make trade and travel difficult for anyone trying to cross the water where they are found, as they are exceptionally fierce and strong compared to many other sea creatures. In addition, while they feel no special kinship toward humans as a whole, they are entirely capable of acknowledging, and even respecting, an individual human's strength. Though incapable of physical speech, they can deliver wholly coherent thoughts through telepathy-chief among them a genuine reverence toward whichever mermaid currently holds the Poseidon bloodline. However, they are not entirely mindless predators, as proven by their mental link through Poseidon. This is largely justified by their near-constant preying on other creatures, even comparatively tiny humans once a Sea King has zeroed in on prey, it will attack relentlessly, and only retreat in the face of overwhelming physical (more rarely, mental) force. They are classified as Type "C" creatures, "Big Savage". The smallest known specimen, Dawn Island's " Lord of the Coast", can comfortably swallow a grown man (and most of a dinghy) whole larger specimens are known to easily dwarf whole cities and even islands. Īpart from this, Sea Kings are mostly defined by their size. One particular specimen encountered by the Straw Hat Pirates was even noted to look like an oversized frog, complete with distinct toes instead of fins or flippers. The feature most "common" to Sea Kings in general is a long, vaguely serpentine body, though this is by no means universal. How many-if any-of these are distinct species remains unknown. Sea Kings vary radically in physical build, to the point that no two individuals have been observed with matching physiques, proportions, or even colorations.
