One Piece: The Coolest Animals – Compass Birds, Ducks & Gun Dogs!
One Piece, the legendary manga and anime series penned by Eiichirō Oda, is characterized by a truly absurd world in which not only weird characters but also crazy animals can be found. But what’s the coolest animal Luffy and his Straw Hats meet? In this special you will find the highlights from the pirate world. Which of these creatures do you think will be featured in the upcoming Netflix adaptation of One Piece?
The Kung Fu Seal
Majestic martial arts fans, who are also seals (they are actually seals in the Japanese original dugongs) are. Of course, the cute guys cannot be missing from this list. Above all, their code of honor makes them particularly interesting: when defeated, they want to follow and help the victor. They even wanted to help Luffy and his crew through the Alabasta desert – but Chopper was able to bribe them not to come with them.
Buying tip: A brilliant figure of Luffy is a great way to make one-piece fans happy!
Racing ducks like fan favorite Karoo
The racing ducks are incredibly cute, especially the Karoo. Vivi’s mount accompanies the Straw Hats for quite a while and is effectively an honorary member of the Straw Hats. Karoo’s quirky demeanor and whimsical looks make him a real fan favorite.
A kingdom for these snails…literally
While telesnails represent the crazy possibility of communication over long distances in One Piece, there are also gigantic versions: The entire Germa kingdom can explore the seas on the back of these colossuses. While each snail is a ship in its own right, these creatures can also “dock” to form the kingdom. One of the advantages of the snails is that they can even scale walls like the infamous Red Line. This separates the Grand Line from the East Blue, for example:
The Southbird: A bird-shaped compass
A really weird bird (we can’t resist it) is the so-called Southbird. Like many other animals in One Piece, he appears normal at first, but has one special feature: he always points south with his beak. In this respect, the poultry is perfectly suited for navigation, a kind of living compass!
The mega snake Nola
Far above the clouds, in the heavenly kingdom of Skypiea, the straw hats meet a gigantic being: Nola is the descendant of a snake revered as a god. Over 200 meters long with a skull twice the size of Flying Lamb, the Straw Hats’ ship. Interestingly, however, Nola is actually friendly when you ring Skypiea’s big golden bell. This reminds her of friends who have been gone for centuries.
Scary, but only because of the lack of human contact: Actually, the snake Nola from the Skypiea arc from One Piece is very nice.

The Minokoala: A very special jailer
Guarding One Piece’s most dangerous villains has to be cut from a different cloth. So it’s no wonder that in Impel Down, a high-security prison in One Piece, a Minokoala is active as a guard. The animal with a permanent cold is a mix of koala and human – a modification of the Minotaur. Which of course can also be found in Impel Down – of course.
If a Minotaur is a Taurus-Man, then a Koala-Man must be a… Minokoala. Oh One Piece…
