No living giant is as old as the void century, but its possible the oldest giants grandfathers were alive during it if they were equally long lived, but the giants worship a sun god we know this from big moms backstory, that whole fasting period (that drove big moms first tantrum) the giants take part in is a festival for the sun god.

[u/khalichanan → u/Lemming3000]

As a historian, the concept of ‘living memory of living memory’ is very important to how a society views a period of history. If there are people alive today who have interacted at some point in their life with someone who experienced an event, it feels far more relevant to our culture. That’s one of the reasons why, for example, WWI feels far more relevant to us, as there are plenty of people still alive now who knew someone who fought in it, even if all those who fought in it are now dead. The void century is far closer to ‘living memory of living memory’ with the giants than it is for other beings in One Piece.

Merfolk too, right?

[u/jaypenn3 → u/EnvironmentalTotal21]

merfolk don't live any longer than humans

[u/EnvironmentalTotal21 → u/jaypenn3]

There was some fiction where some species lived hundreds of years but i don’t remember if it was one piece

[u/EnvironmentalTotal21 → u/jaypenn3]

Maybe i’m thinking or say irl like the greenland shark. has oda actually said the pifespan stuff?

[u/madkillller → u/khalichanan]

Do you have any scientific papers about that?

...Not that I doubt you in any way, I would like to cite it.

[u/khalichanan → u/madkillller]

Sadly nothing to hand without going on JStor - it was a concept brought up back during my BA!

[u/b0307 → u/madkillller]

[u/Jail_Chris_Brown → u/Lemming3000]

Luffy being the reincarnation of a god that has a festival based around fasting is in-universe satire.

[u/RiceOnTheRun → u/Jail_Chris_Brown]

Why do you think they’re fasting? Luffy ate all the food!

He ain’t no hero after all…

[u/MyLifeIsDope69 → u/Lemming3000]

If someone’s even 2 generations down they’ll be aware of certain knowledge. My great grandparents down to my parents now were involved in Soviet resistance I make sure to pass down certain history the books don’t teach to make sure such a thing never happens again and they don’t become one of those people easy life in America forgetting the history that got them here. I’m sure something as serious as the void century they pass down and they’re a pretty isolated island

[u/AlphaOmega1356 → u/MyLifeIsDope69]

OP also takes place during the time of oral history being the main method of passing down history to future generations. It would make sense that they’d have heard some stories.

[u/plisken64 → u/MyLifeIsDope69]

and thats why the world government has this erase everything mentality

[u/MyLifeIsDope69 → u/plisken64]

I’m guessing giants were just too strong to fuck with, wonder why they didn’t get genocided like Lunarians and Kumas race who were decidedly much stronger genetically it seems. Guessing the weapon that took them out ran out of gas before they got to Elbaf wonder if we learn anything about that

[u/Roskal → u/Lemming3000]

the oldest giants were only in their 300s in big mum's flashback so probably a few more generations.

[u/Cum_Dad → u/Lemming3000]

I wonder how stoked on, Big Moms defeat, the giants were.

I wonder if that will come up
