Fishfolk

Fishfolk are one of, if not the most, diverse groups of people known in the One-Piece world, with more variations represented than almost any other race.

Fishfolk are hominids that possess features of aquatic water-breathing creatures. Each fish-man has traits corresponding to a single type of fish or cephalopod, granting varied powers such as squirting ink, possessing more than two arms or legs, growing unlimited sets of teeth, camouflage, and much more, depending on the individual fishfolks' corresponding sea creature. All fishfolk possess both lungs and gills, allowing them to live both on land and in the sea. Fishfolk are said to be ten times stronger than humans from birth; furthermore, their strength is amplified underwater. Fishfolk have the latent ability to manipulate water, which can be developed through training in Fish-Man Karate.

Hybrids. Fishfolk have the ability to interbreed with other races, much like other humanoid races. It is not impossible to find half-human or half-giant fishfolk in places such as the grand line. Furthermore, fishfolk can have children with merfolk, resulting in either a fishfolk or merfolk child being born.

Oppressed. Like other non-human races, Fishfolk are the victims of worldwide oppression by humans. Due to this, many Fishfolk stay within the confines of Fishfolk island and only occasionally leave. Some evil Fishfolk have opted to be pirates to seek revenge against humanity. Unfortunately, several also end up as slaves under the world government. Even on islands not directly under world government jurisdiction, humans still treat Fishfolk very unfairly. For this reason, playing a Fishfolk can prove very different when visiting various human-inhabited islands around the sea.

Domination. Though they are often misunderstood, many Fishfolk do hold the belief that they should rule over all other fish in the sea. And due to the cruel treatment they receive from humans, some grow to also want to conquer and rule over humanity as a whole. This isn't true of all Fishfolk though, as many do exhibit the desire to co-exist with other races and species.

Extraordinary Strength. As well as being born with bodies that provide natural weapons in battles, such as razor-sharp teeth, Fishfolk have incredibly strong bodies compared to average people. From birth, Fishfolk are ten times stronger than humans. Additionally, Fishfolk can be even more troublesome in underwater combat. Being even stronger underwater, they can easily devastate a human who isn't proficient at swimming. Unfortunately, this strength can be negated if a Fishfolk happens to be a Devil Fruit user.
