List of Every Extinct Race in One Piece

1. Lunarians: The Gods of the Red Line

Lunarians are one of the most fascinating lost races in One Piece. They used to live on the Eighteenth Level of the Red Line in the Kingdom of Gods, before Mary Geoise was built there. They were people with brown skin, white hair, and enormous black wings. But what was really cool about them was the torch they had on their backs.

King of Kaido’s crew was the last known member remaining of this extinct race in One Piece. The World Government chases Lunarians and even offers a large amount as a reward if someone provides information about them.

What makes Lunarians so strong is their tough bodies. They can survive anywhere and are almost impossible to hurt when their flame is on. But when the flame goes out, they lose that defense and get super fast instead. The World Government used King's DNA to create the Seraphim, which are some of the strongest weapons in One Piece.

2. Buccaneers: The Cursed Bloodline

Buccaneers are an almost extinct race in One Piece that has a shady history. They did something bad to the world a long time ago. For this, the World Government has been persecuting them for decades. Any Buccaneer that is found becomes a slave or is killed.

Bartholomew Kuma, in One Piece, is the only remaining member of this extinct species. Buccaneers are taller than average humans but shorter than giants. They might have giant blood, but they're not just half-giants. What makes this extinct race in One Piece special goes beyond size.

They have great strength and tough bodies. The Buccaneers also kept the legend of Sun God Nika alive for generations in One Piece. They saw Nika as someone who would bring joy and freedom to the world.

3. Ancient Giants: The Original Conquerors

Ancient giants are another extinct race in One Piece that once ruled the New World. These massive people were the first who ever went through that dangerous sea. And the pure-blooded ones are gone now, though some contemporary giants still bear their blood.

The most well-known ancient giant is Oars in One Piece. He was 60 meters tall, three times a giant. The ancient giants used to have horns, they had sharp teeth, and they had weird colors. Oars had red-colored skin; however, his grandson (Little Oars Jr.) was shown to have green-colored skin.

This extinct race in One Piece was said to be strong enough to move continents. The World Government tried to recreate this extinct race in One Piece through experiments. This made the Numbers, a group of fake ancient giants. But they were failures because they're not very smart.

4. Three-Eye Tribe: The Poneglyph Readers

The Three-Eye Tribe is super rare in One Piece rather than fully gone. But they're close. Members of this race have a third eye on their forehead.

Charlotte Pudding is the only known person in One Piece with Three-Eye blood. She's half-human and half-Three-Eye. What makes this extinct race in One Piece valuable is their special power. When a Three-Eye reaches true awakening, they can hear the Voice of All Things.

This means they could read the Poneglyphs. But Pudding doubts half-bloods like her can do this. People treated this extinct race in One Piece badly. Even in Totto Land, people made fun of Pudding's third eye. Her own mom called it ugly. She hid it until Sanji called it beautiful.

5. Zushindodo: The Rarest Hybrids

The Zushindodo are one of the most mysterious entries here. This super-rare race in One Piece is a mix between dwarves and giants. Think about how different those two races are in size. That's why they're so rare.

Oda said the Zushindodo are very rare in an SBS. But we don't know if they're dying out or just naturally uncommon. No members have shown up in One Piece yet. The name comes from the sound of their footsteps, like other hybrid races. This extinct race in One Piece raises big questions. Would they be big like giants or small like dwarves? We can only guess since none have appeared in the story.

6. Dosundada: The Dwarf Hybrids

The Dosundada are another hybrid race in One Piece. They're part human and part dwarf. They're called an ancient race, though nobody says they're extinct. But being ancient means they're probably very rare.

Charlotte Normande is the only known Dosundada in One Piece. Even though she's a hybrid, she looks like a full dwarf. She's the same size as pure dwarves. This extinct race in One Piece has a pointed nose and a bushy tail that dwarves have. Normande also has big fairy wings, but we don't know if all Dosundada have them. The fact that this extinct race in One Piece is grouped with other rare races means there aren't many left today.

7. Birkans: The Sky Dwellers

The Birkans are the last nearly extinct race in One Piece on our list. They're one of three tribes that came from the Moon over 1,100 years ago. The Birkans settled on the sky island called Birka.

Enel is the most famous Birkan in One Piece. Eight years before the Straw Hats got to Skypiea, he destroyed Birka completely. That's why there are so few Birkans left. What makes this extinct race in One Piece different from other sky people is their wings.

Birkan's wings point down. But Enel has no wings at all. He has drums on his back instead. After leaving Skypiea, Enel flew to the moon, where he found the old city of Birka and learned about his people's history. This extinct race in One Piece came full circle with their strongest member going back to their old home.

Conclusion

The extinct race in One Piece adds real depth to the world. Each race has special powers and sad stories, usually involving the World Government. From the tough Lunarians to the mysterious Three-Eye Tribe, these rare peoples are some of the coolest parts of the series.

What's really striking is how many of these races died out because they were too strong or knew too much. The World Government appears in almost every case. One Piece uses these extinct races to talk about genocide and abuse of power. As the story gets close to ending, these rare races are becoming super important to the plot.
