Little Oars Jr. is a New World pirate captain and descendant of Oars who fought alongside the Whitebeard Pirates during the effort to rescue Ace. He's among the most memorable figures from that arc, known for his sheer determination and surprising emotional depth.
As a giant, Oars Jr. towers even above most of his kind, making him hard to miss. He rocks three skulls as a necklace and shares his ancestor's overall hulking silhouette. The most distinctive thing about him, though, is the massive kasa hat that Ace gifted him—something he clearly treasures.
What fans often note about Oars Jr. is his genuine heart. Flashbacks show him as a carefree guy who valued simple gestures, like when he cherished that straw hat Ace made for him. His bond with Ace drove him to charge straight through enemy lines during the rescue mission, and even after Doflamingo severed his right leg, he kept moving forward without hesitation.
Combat-wise, Oars Jr. has monstrous strength and stamina. Unlike his ancestor, he fights with a sword. He tanked hits from three Shichibukai, waves of Marines, their elite Giants Squad, and artillery bombardment—all while staying focused on the mission. His size is both his greatest asset and his biggest vulnerability; he hits hard, but he's also an enormous target that's impossible to miss.
