Egghead (Ch. 1118)

Post-Enies Lobby (Ch. 439)
- Now in Water Seven helping rebuild; vows to reach Elbaf one day because he “promised the King of Snipers” (Usopp/Sogeking), content to wait — “we giants live 300 years after all” (p. 14). Seeds the Elbaf tie. Cross-link Oimo Kashii Warrior-Tribe Giant Gatekeepers Of Enies Lobby.
Water Seven aftermath (Ch. 431)
Enies Lobby (Ch. 428 — “Let’s Go Back”) — Survives the Main Gate bombing with Kashii
- Survives the Main Gate bombing with Kashii — the two giants “took the full brunt of the bombs”; shown hanging from Galley-La’s unbreakable ropes off the bridge with the Galley-La/Franky Family group (p. 5). Cross-link Kashii, Galley-La Company, Franky Family, Enies Lobby.
Enies Lobby (Ch. 418 — “Luffy vs. Rob Lucci”) — Carries fleeing townsfolk to safety during the rescue (giants shown, not named)
- SHOWN amid the rescue, carrying fleeing townsfolk/crew to safety alongside Kashii and urging “Run for your lives!!!”, “for the honor of Elbaf!” (pp. 4–5). Cross-link Kashii, Enies Lobby.
Enies Lobby (Ch. 391) — “OIMO PRESS!!” — crushing WG soldiers for the King of Snipers
- Now fights for the rescue alliance “out of allegiance to the King of Snipers” (Sogeking); crushes WG soldiers with “OIMO PRESS!!” and splits to guard the towers/front (pp. 4–5), backing the Franky Family/Galley-La tower-and-gate push. Cross-link Kashii, Usopp, Franky Family, Giant Warrior Pirates, Enies Lobby.
Enies Lobby (Ch. 390) — Towers over the WG soldiers in the square, obeying Sogeking
- Now fighting for the rescue force in the courthouse square (the @0384 defection operational): towers over the WG soldiers (pp. 10-11), obeying Sogeking. The square’s defenders are awed that the “King of Snipers” controls the giants. Cross-link Kashii, Usopp, Franky Family, Giant Warrior Pirates, Enies Lobby.
Enies Lobby (Ch. 388 — “Gear Two”) — Smashing the courthouse for the Straw Hats
- Now fighting for the Straw Hats: with Kashii he stomps the gate-guards (“You can’t stop Oimo either!”) and drives toward the courthouse — “It’s a bond between warriors!!” — clearing the way for the rescue (pp. 14-15). The guards lament “Those troublesome giants are on our side now!” Cross-link Kashii, Franky Family, Enies Lobby.
Enies Lobby (Ch. 384 — “Signal the Counterattack”) — ⭐ Backstory told; the WG lie exposed; Oimo & Kashii defect to the Straw Hats
Enies Lobby (Ch. 380 — “Enies Lobby Main Island Express”) — Losing at the gate; wakes furious as the Rocketman crashes through
- Reports reach the courthouse that his partner Kashii has been defeated at the island gate and that Oimo “is losing too” (p. 2, “Oimo is losing too!!”). Shown spinning and falling, then waking furious as the Rocketman crashes through and leaps the gate over his head — “Then what was the point of opening it?!” (pp. 12, 16, 17). Cross-link Kashii, Enies Lobby, Sea Train, Franky Family.
Enies Lobby (Ch. 377 — “The Big Showdown on the Judicial Island!!”) — first mention + first appearance; the giant gatekeeper roused from sleep
- Named in gatekeeper dialogue on p. 10 (“What about Oimo and Kashii?!”).
- First shown on-page (pp. 17-18), roused from sleep to repel the Straw Hat assault — “THEY’RE GIANTS!!!” (p. 18). His giant lineage and his reason for serving a World Government island are an open question seeded here.
- INFERENCE (NOT stated this chapter): his ties to the captured Giant Warrior Pirates captains are forward-canon (paid off @0384, when Sniper King reveals the WG’s century-long lie and that Dorry & Brogy are alive on Little Garden) — record only what 0377 shows. Cross-link Kashii, Giant Warrior Pirates, Enies Lobby, Elbaf.
Enies Lobby (Ch. 378 — “Casualties”) — first full speaking appearance; gate-defense
- Looms over the Island Gate alongside Kashii and refuses passage — “Turn back!! I won’t let you past this gate!!” (p. 2). The pair flatten the attackers’ “Mighty Destroyers” craft in the blink of an eye (“DOOM!!”, p. 6).
- Declares his warrior lineage: “The blood that flows in our veins is different from what you overgrown pip-squeaks have!! We were born of a warrior tribe!!” (p. 7) — establishing him as a giant warrior, distinct from ordinary giants.
- Despite their power, Oimo and Kashii are gradually pinned by the Franky Family / Galley-La ship-dismantling rope-and-saw techniques — “Hull Dismantler Slash,” “Timber Hitch Tug,” “Tree Nail Lock” (pp. 11-15).
- The attackers rally around the belief that “Big Bro Franky is on the other side of that gate!!” (p. 7); the giants’ own loyalty motive — they believe a captured “big brother” is held beyond the gate — is seeded. See Oimo Kashii Warrior-Tribe Giant Gatekeepers Of Enies Lobby.
Whole Cake Island — named in the Elbaf flashback (Ch. 866)
Egghead — pinning a Gorosei beast (Ch. 1113) — shown
- Present on Egghead with Kashii, restraining a Gorosei’s beast form — “Hold it down, Oimo!!” — “You got it, Kashii!!” (p. 12). First on-page appearance since Water Seven (0439).
Final Saga — Egghead, covering the Straw Hat escape (Ch. 1117)
- A captain of an Elbaf giant ship off Egghead’s northeast coast, fighting the Marine fleet to cover the getaway — “Captains!! Oimo!! Kashii!!”; the giants are branded “fossil pirates from 100 years ago” by the Marines (pp. 10, 13). With Kashii; banters about the chasing boar stopping (“where’d he go?”, p. 13).
