History

The Sea Kings (Japanese: 海王類かいおうるい, Hepburn: Kaiō-rui) were a class of giant sea creatures which inhabited the oceans of the world. Around 800 years ago, the Sea Kings made a promise to tow the ship Noah thanks to the mermaid known as Poseidon's and her abilities. However, Joy Boy, who made the deal with Fish-Man Island and Poseidon, failed to keep up his end of the bargain and Noah was never used leaving its mission unknown. Sea Kings occupy the Calm Belt. In the past their reputation and numbers have been the sole protection for Amazon Lily located inside the Calm Belt itself. However elsewhere, islands close to it such as Water 7 remained cut off.

Twelve years ago, the mountain bandit Higuma was killed by a Sea King whilst holding Monkey D. Luffy captive. Shanks came to save the boy but lost an arm to the creature in the process. Using his talents, he was able to scare the Sea King away which then departed the scene.

Overview

In appearance, Sea Kings were a series of widely different giant animals native to the ocean that came in a wide range of forms and shapes.

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. They are powerful predators and attack unprovoked with no fear or signs of backing down. Only the strongest of ships or captains can take on a Sea King. Confrontation with one by a few humans is inadvisable and is considered nothing short of suicide. Many people see the act of killing one a sign of strength and achievement.

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. The name of the previous Mermaid turned out to be Poseidon, whose abilities were considered a weapon that is able to destroy the world and whose power is in line with the other two ancient weapons, Pluton and Uranus.

They were said to be especially prevalent throughout the Calm Belts surrounding the Grand Line, and as such are one of the most common—and notorious—hazards encountered by seafarers in the area
