It depends on context, but basically its rude word, rude way of "this woman", and sometimes it goes "this b**** ".  Of course on One Piece, author never trying to say "B**** " with "この女".
If people feel its too polite to call a lady "女性" or "人", then he would call her "女", even if you dont want to say "B**** ".

Police: この女性みたことない？今追ってるんだ。
Have you ever seen this woman? We're chasing now.

Guy: この女を知ってる！昨日あの店で見ました！ 
I know this woman! I've watched her in that shop yesterday!

I translated "この女" to "this woman", on this sentences, we don't know this guy feel "B**** " or not, and i feel he won't think that woman as B****, just random woman he saw.
He can call "この女性", "この人", but he selected "この女", a little strong word but its not "B****" in this context.

It is rude and it is rough. Do not say that.

The characters in one piece are basically pirates, so there's a lot of rough language that we don't generally use.

*Prohibited terms* In Japan, with very few exceptions (as stipulated in the Radio Law), there are no terms banned by law, which(放送禁止用語) are simply self-regulation of expression by broadcasters. *This is because of the relationship with freedom of expression.* In Japan, since 2008, these terms have been defined as appropriate, mainly in response to complaints from viewers (including, of course, those from the public authorities), and are referred to as "broadcast warning terms(放送注意用語)" or "broadcast restraint terms(放送自粛用語)". bitch … 尼(あま) / あばずれ Fuck ... ファック shit ... シット goddamn ... asshole ... 放送禁止用語　Prohibited terms くそやろう : Bastard. くそ : damn

yes.

でも最近の日本人はあまりそういった言葉を好まない傾向にあります。
But these days, Japanese people tend not to like such words.
なので「bitch」に該当する言葉を探そうとすると「この女！」という言葉になってしまう事もあるのかもしれませんね。
So, if you try to find a word that corresponds to "bitch", it  might be converted into a word like "この女！"

pasmo4 · Answer

@PiratMorei Yes, you can say "女の人", polite word as "女性".
性 means just gender/sex, you can remember 男性＝male 女性=female, and this is the most general way to call male/female.

Anyway, calling someone "この女" "この男" is really strong word and sometimes it goes quite rude, so "この女性" "この男性" or "この人(this person)" would be better in conversation.
