For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, this is the creature in question.

That thing is HUGE, it makes TB look like an ant! Other giant creatures like San Juan Wolf, Oars, and Little Oars Jr. look like a speck of dust compared to this thing.

At first I thought it was the shadow of a creature on a Sky Island like this.

But it can't be because something was making 100s of sailors vanish before TB was added.

Now, I think they are what the Sea Kings are talking about right here.

Thriller Bark, it is a ship the size of an island.

Oh then its definently an umibozu
Umibōzu (海坊主?, "sea bonze") is a spirit from Japanese folklore. The Umibōzu is said to live in the ocean and capsize the ship of anyone who dares speak to it. This spirit's name, which combines the character for "sea" with the character of "Buddhist monk," is possibly related to the fact that the Umibōzu is said to have a large, round head, resembling the shaven heads of Buddhist monks. Alternatively they are demons Yōkai (spectres) that appear to shipwreck victims and fishermen. They are believed to be drowned priests, and exhibit the shaven head and typically appears to be praying. It is usually reported as having a grey, cloud-like torso and serpentine limbs.

According to one story, if angered, they ask that the crews provide a barrel that it proceeds to fill with sea water to drown them. To avoid this disastrous fate, it is necessary to give him a bottomless barrel.

They even look the same in some depictions.
