THE RACES.
⤷ ::HUMANS::
Human beings are the dominant race in the world as they outnumber most other races and are usually among the most technologically advanced and organized of the races. Most islands are inhabited by humans, even in the Grand Line, where most of the stronger races such as the fishmen and giants are found. Humans come in a variety of shapes, and sizes such as having additional limbs like the winged villagers of Skypiea known as the Skypieans. There are also humans whom have rather exaggerated appearances such as Longarm, Longleg, Snakeneck Tribes.
⤷ ::MERFOLK::
Merfolk are one of the two major races that inhabit the sea (the other being the fishmen). They are capable of breeding with humans as Kokoro was known to have had a human husband and bore a son with him. However, as seen with her granddaughter, Chimney, just one generation after the initial interbreeding, continuing to breed with humans may result in all merfolk features being lost. However, despite losing the merfolk features, they retain their ability to swim well. Humans, fishmen, and merfolk also share the same blood types. Unlike fishmen, merfolk do not eat meat and fish of any kind, aside from shellfish, so they remain primarily vegetarian. Mermaids split their tail when they turn thirty as shown by Kokoro, Otohime, and an unknown mermaid Luffy saw while riding on a fish taxi. However, this does not apply to their male counterparts as their tails won't split even after the age of thirty.
⤷ ::FISHMEN::
Fishmen are one of two species that dominate the seas (the other being the merfolk). Fishmen have their gills near their necks which only work when they are in water. On land they can breathe with their lungs like humans do. However, their gills cannot breathe in air, like a normal fish cannot breathe in air through their gills.
Even though fishmen are part fish, they are still mammals and give birth to live young. Fishmen can also interbreed with other races. Unlike merfolk, fishmen eat meat including fish.
⤷ ::GIANTS::
Giants are a race of beings that vastly overshadow the other known races of the world in size. All giants can live for up to three times longer than human beings. they can feel pain like any other human race. However, due to their gigantic sizes, they are still more resilient than an average human. All giants have a strange laugh and they all laugh differently.
⤷ ::CYBORGS::
A cyborg is a human or other life form that has been modified with machinery and metal for better functioning. These mechanical enhancements can include cybernetic replacements for missing organs or body parts, metal skin for extra protection, and weapons installed somewhere in the body.
