Pica from One Piece

One Piecefans have literally grown with all such weird, exaggerated featured characters with utterly fantastic physical attributes that defy all the conventional standards for beauty and normalcy.

Among the many, there’s this one particular character whose ridiculously hilarious appearance had even Luffy and Zoro cracking up in the middle of a serious battle. And it’s none other than Pica, one of the most fierce pirates inOne Piece, or is he?

Pica’s Peculiar Appearance Had Luffy and Zoro Laughing Out Loud

Pica is an elite member of theDonquixote Pirates, and it wouldn’t be too far off to say his appearance can be compared to the Greek god, Adonis. However, behind his intimidating figure, there’s a voice like that of a prepubescent boy! Needless to say, the Straw Hat Pirates are always facing strange and peculiar things, but even they couldn’t control their laughter at Pica’s unusual look and voice.

As they were fighting a hot battle, Zoro & Luffy would just burst into laughter every time Pica opened his mouth. Even these two, who usually never crack during dangerous battles, cracked up in the middle of their deadly battle. It is indeed a testimony to Pica’s unintentionally funny charm. Oda has broken all the typical conventions and extended creativity to the furthest extremes with this peculiar character design.

Ever Wondered How Pica’s Shoulders Became Like That – Thorny?

On top of Pica’s already hilarious voice, his shoulders further make his overall appearance one of the most insane genetic mutations to ever exist inOne Piece. Fans are often left scratching their heads, wondering over this seemingly contradictory character design, which is physically never possible in real life.

However, you might find it quite interesting that the origin of his quirky shoulders has already been revealed in one funny exchange between a fan andEiichiro Odahimself. When asked about those thorn-like growths on Pica’s shoulders,he explained thathis shoulders grew that way due to him wearing shoulder guards all the time in his puberty! Now, this has to be one of Oda’s most offbeat examples of showcasing a good sense of humor while poking fun at his own characters.
