Obviously, Gekko Moriah is pretty funky looking. I understand that his horns
and wings are articles of clothing but his size, neck, and leek-like
appearance are strange. In a forum discussing fan theories concerning the
nature of "minkmen" someone wrote that Oda confirmed Moriah to be a human (as
opposed to fishman or snakeneck) and therefore "anything is possible". I've
been unable to find his source.

I am not asking if Moriah is a snakeneck or minkmen as I believe they have not
yet been shown/identified by official sources. What I am asking is: are there
any official sources that identify whether Moriah is human?

question
one-piece
Is Gekko Moriah human?


This is all we know about him being a human :-

> Moriah is a gargantuan person with very distinct devil-like features.
> Standing at 22' 7'' in height, he is the tallest among the Shichibukai. His
> animal theme is that of a gecko based off his name, general appearance and
> the collar of his shirt bearing a resemblance to a lizard's frilled neck.
> His overall design resembles a giant leek

I've yet to see an interview or article from Oda's words about Gekko Moriah
concerning his race unless it was noted by Oda somewhere on the Japanese side
of the fandom and it was overlooked and never translated...

However, the manga's latest arc is going to be dealing with Kaido, Moriah's
greatest enemy, and I expect him to pop up soon. Hopefully, Oda will give us
more detail on Moriah's background and make a side story explaining how
exactly did his old crew get massacred (which I hope for cause I really wanna
see Moriah back when he was young and badass.)
