So far, One Piece has presented a variety of unique characters that accompany the story throughout. Starting from the heroes of the straw hat pirate crew, to the enforcers of justice who take shelter in the navy. However, of course it's not just the human characters, Eiichiro Oda doesn't miss creating interesting animal rides that accompany the journeys of several characters in One Piece.

So, what are the animal rides in One Piece? Let's look at the following list together!

Unique Animal Rides in One Piece

1. Banchi

Banchi's appearance is quite fierce. He is a very large tortoise, and is also used to exploring the very arid land of Arabasta. If we hear a turtle, it must be synonymous with slow walking. However, this is not the case with Banchi. His form may be a turtle, but his speed is not inferior to horsepower.

Even so, Banchi looks relaxed, complete with the cigar he usually smokes on various occasions. Unfortunately, since the end of the Alabasta Arc, this riding animal hasn't appeared too often in the story.

2. Hasami

Still from Alabasta, there is another riding animal named Hasami. It takes the form of a very large crab. It gets weirder when we realize he has grass like a carpet on top of his body. Hasami has a very perverted nature, seen from the way he glances at the women.

Anyway, for example seeing a beautiful woman, his running speed is like getting a buff! Well, despite all the perverted nature, what Hasami is doing is very helpful in Alabasta.

3. Pierre

Moving to Skypiea, Where we will find Pierre. This animal is Gan Fall's mainstay for exploring Skypiea. Even though he looks like a horse, Pierre is actually a bird, you know. His form when he becomes a bird is also very unique.

There was a pattern of red dots on its body. Then the reason he can take the form of a horse is of course because he ate a zoan type devil fruit, named Uma Uma no Mi. So be it, a horse with an unusual pattern and body color. Pierre's specialty is not only that. Thanks to a mixture of birds from him, and horses from his devil fruit, it makes him able to become a flying horse.

4. Camel

Even though his name is Camel, which if translated into our language means camel, in fact Camel here is not a camel. He is actually a penguin. A mount that is indeed suitable for Kuzan!

Kuzan who has the power of ice, has a pet penguin that is identical to animals from cold regions. Camel was only shown after the time skip, which means he only became Kuzan's pet shortly after resigning from the Marines.

5. Shelly

We move to Long Ring Long Land, and say hello to Shelly. The island that was visited by the SHP Crew is indeed known for its various strange animals. The characteristic feature of this oddity is that some animals will have long limbs.

Of the many, the most memorable is Shelly. Even though he is a horse, he has a very long neck. So, even though you're riding a horse, it feels like you're riding a giraffe. But, it's not just his neck that's long, his four legs also have abnormally long legs.

6 King Bulls

Moving on to Water Seven, there are animal rides called King Bulls. They are a giant version of the Yagara Bull. Well, the Yagara Bull itself is an aquatic animal and is generally of standard size. A kind of horse that can swim in water.

As a giant version, Yagara Bull clearly has a much bigger size. As for the owner, the King Bulls are kept by the Franky family. It is known that there were two King Bulls, namely Sodom and Gomorrah. As pets, fortunately they are both tame.

7. Motobaro

Remember Duval? He also has a unique riding animal, namely a big bison by the name of Motobaro. Even more unique because of the handle on the mount like a real motorbike.

He can run fast enough, and the most terrifying attack is definitely his horns. Motobaro is known as Heart-smashing Horns, aka Heart-Smashing Horns. Once rammed, he can create fatal enough damage.

8. Wany

In the island of Zou which indeed lives above Zunesha. But still, the Zunesha is not a vehicle that can be driven around. Hence we focus on Wany, belonging to one of the Minks tribe, Wanda.

Basically the Mink Tribe is a humanoid animal. However, this does not prevent them from having pets that can be used. Including Wanda with Wany. Wany's form can be said to be a combination of a wild boar and a crocodile, with a jumbo size. As a result, it can be used either in water or on land.

9. Nyasha

Nyasha, This giant cat belongs to Germa 66. He was shown in the Whole Cake Island Arc. To be precise, he was pulling the royal-style carriage carrying the Vinsmoke Family. He is able to transport people in large numbers, including the Vinsmoke brothers.

This riding animal was once a silent witness, because he accompanied Sanji to Big Mom's place. Until then this trip was intercepted by Luffy. And the rest you know for yourself the drama that happened between the two.

10. Komachiyo

Lastly, there is Komachiyo. This riding animal lives in Wanokuni, and has been Tama's friend since childhood. Komachiyo is classified as Komainu or which is a stone statue in the form of a lion or a dog which is usually placed at the entrance to temples in Japan.

In their belief, Komainu is considered as a protector and messenger from the gods who are in the temple. Then the most distinctive appearance is the fur that resembles a wave.
