Vegapunk/York

York, also designated as Punk-06 , is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "greed".

Appearance

York is a young woman of around average size. She has long and wavy light hair and patches of freckles under her eyes. She wears a dark top cut off just below her breasts with her designation Punk-06 written on the front. She also wears a light-colored jacket over her top, a pair of bikini bottoms, dark gloves, large dark boots that go up past her knees, and a pair of goggles on her forehead. When she eats a lot, she becomes immensely obese, but can instantly return to her original figure after going to the bathroom.

Personality

Being designated the “greed” satellite of Vegapunk, York is a very gluttonous and lazy individual. Her primary task seems to be to eat, sleep, and relieve herself for the other satellites so they can perform their own duties unimpeded.

Abilities and Powers

Being a satellite of Vegapunk, York has likely been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments. Due to being responsible for eating on behalf of all satellites, she consumes large quantities of food to the degree of attaining a BMI of 600 (20 times the amount considered obese) and also expels the waste, doing this multiple times per day, but this does not seem to negatively affect her body.

Vegapunk/Atlas

Atlas, also designated as Punk-05 , is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "violence".

Appearance

Atlas is an extremely large girl, appearing to be as tall as Kaidou according to Luffy, with a young appearance. She has short curly hair, with the left side of it being dark colored and the right side being light; she has a very long curl of hair on each side of her head that runs down to her belly. She appears to have a long, bushy tail on her abdomen. She wears a short dark dress with her number on it as well as a downward-pointing arrow on the front. She also wears dark boots, dark gloves with light sleeves attached, an earpiece enabling communication with the other satellites, and a large jetpack on her back.

Personality

Being designated the “violence” satellite of Vegapunk, Atlas has a short temper and is prone to violence upon getting angry, which has been shown to occur if someone attacks her or if people show an inability to utilize her inventions successfully. She is very talkative and will gladly give detailed explanations on the inner workings of her inventions. She is quite interested in the question of the definition of reality, and though she has a firm view on the matter, she thinks other people need to decide the answer for themselves. She uses the first person pronoun ore , which is typically considered masculine or aggressive, befitting her violent behavior.

Abilities and Powers

Being a satellite of Vegapunk, Atlas has been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments. Befitting her large size, Atlas possesses significant strength, as she was able to punch Luffy and send him slamming into a wall with great force, leaving him with bruises. She also possesses great durability, being barely affected by a normal punch from Luffy. Her body made a metallic clanging sound when Luffy struck it, meaning she may wear armor or have cyborg modifications.

Engineering Expertise

Atlas high-fiving a hologram woman with her Light-Pressure Gloves. As one of Vegapunk's satellites, Atlas has access to numerous futuristic equipment and weapons that she and the other satellites have developed.

• Her gloves, which are called Light-Pressure Gloves , allow her to interact with light as though it is tangible. This will cause the holograms on Egghead to react to her actions as though they were real, such as when she punched a dragon hologram and it recoiled.
• The jetpack on her back enables her to fly through the air.

Vegapunk/Pythagoras

Pythagoras, also designated as Punk-04 , is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "wisdom". 

Appearance

Pythagoras is a large mechanical being. His head is a sphere with a turn key protruding from the top and a space in the front containing the eyes; the head can detach from the main body and move independently with a set of retractable arms and legs. Pythagoras' main body is metallic, with the top part being dark-colored and the bottom light-colored. Its designation Punk-04 is printed on its left breast and a kanji symbol is printed on the center of its chest. Its arms, hands, and legs are composed of bendable metal rods.

Personality

Being Vegapunk's "wisdom" satellite, Pythagoras has shown to be calm and highly interested in observing the performances of Vegapunk's inventions. It is devoted to recording data from these tests and examining the potential scientific implications, and can grow very excited when situations arise that provide exceptional data.

Abilities and Powers

Being a satellite of Vegapunk, Pythagoras has been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments. Pythagoras is extremely intelligent, being capable of drawing a large number of theories and conclusions just by witnessing Vegapunk's inventions in action; when observing one of the Seraphim in combat, Pythagoras quickly made observations regarding potential Lineage Factor traits.

Vegapunk/Edison

Edison, also designated as Punk-03 , is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "thinking". 

Appearance

Edison is a small mechanical creature, being similar in size to a young child. Its head is shaped like an American football with two appendages on top of it resembling rabbit ears, and eyes bulging out of an opening in the front; the number 03 is branded on its forehead. Over its body, Edison wears a jacket which is dark on the left side and light on the right; the kanji for "idea" is printed on the right breast, and the left side has a pattern resembling a spear. Edison possesses metallic fingers, thin rod-like legs, and blocky feet.

Personality

Edison is extremely energetic and constantly busy plotting new invention ideas and running experiments. It frequently interjects with "Eureka!" whenever having an idea. Edison was shown to be taken aback toward Lilith's violent tendencies and threats.

Abilities and Powers

Being a satellite of Vegapunk, Edison has been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments, appearing to be primarily responsible for mapping out the details of new inventions.

Equipment

Edison wears a jetpack on its back, allowing it to fly and hover in the air.

Vegapunk/Lilith

Lilith, also designated as Punk-02 , is one of six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "evil".

Appearance

Lilith has the appearance of a young woman with wild light hair. She wears a light full-body jumpsuit that bears her designation of Punk-02 on the left breast; she also wears a dark coat, boots, gloves, and aviator helmet. Like the other satellites, she wears an earpiece and antenna on her left ear which enables communication with Vegapunk's other manifestations.

Personality

Being designated the "evil" satellite of Vegapunk, Lilith is the manifestation of Vegapunk's ruthless and malevolent traits. She utilizes her technology and weaponry to steal from voyagers, chiefly pirates, who trespass on Egghead, justifying this to Shaka as necessary for the sake of keeping Vegapunk's research operational. However, she possesses a rash attitude which can cause her to underestimate those she attacks, as she was stunned when Shaka, the manifestation of Vegapunk's logic, pointed out that the Straw Hats were equipped and poised to deal great harm to herself and her army of Sea Beasts; in response, Lilith seems capable of heeding Shaka's advice making her far from unreasonable. She uses the first person pronoun washi , which is usually associated with old men in fiction. She also uses stereotypical elderly speech patterns such as the copula ja.

Abilities and Powers

Being one of six manifestations of the genius scientist Vegapunk, Lilith has contributed to his numerous technological advances and breakthroughs. Despite the technology and weaponry at her disposal, Lilith was cautioned by Shaka that she was not equipped to take on Roronoa Zoro and Nico Robin, two members of an Emperor's crew with bounties around Beli 1 billion, in combat.

Engineering Expertise

Lilith has made heavy use of mechas and cybernetically-enhanced animals to aid her in combat. She pilots a giant mecha called the Vega Force 1, which is extremely large to the point of being able to carry the Thousand Sunny in its hands. The Vega Force is able to move underwater and unleash explosions when it punches. Additionally, Lilith has power over Sea Beasts that she has turned into cyborgs. These Sea Beasts are equipped with numerous weapons, with an example being the Mecha-Shark having a torpedo launcher in its mouth. This army of cyborg creatures allows Lilith to easily surround and overwhelm ships sailing the sea, enabling her to loot them. However, she has had issues with achieving programming to completely override the organic urges of the creatures, which limits her ability to have them do exactly what she wants; Shaka himself would note that any equipment, weaponry and modified Sea Beasts at Lilith's disposal would be useless against a swordsman of Zoro's caliber. 

Vegapunk/Shaka

Shaka, also designated as Punk-01 , is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "good".

Appearance

Shaka is an average-sized man, standing at about the same height as Sanji. His head is covered by a futuristic metal helmet bearing the number 01 over the face. He wears a very long dark coat with light-colored patterns; the jacket has the words "Vegapunk 01" written at the bottom and "Caution" written on the left sleeve. He also wears a pair of very large boots that run all the way up to wear his jacket ends, leaving little to no skin exposed.

Personality

Being designated the "good" satellite of Vegapunk, Shaka is extremely thoughtful. During Lilith’s confrontation with the Straw Hat Pirates, Shaka was shown to be extremely observant of the crew’s mannerisms and abilities, and quickly conveyed to Lilith that she had blundered. Shaka does not approve of Lilith looting and pillaging from others, saying such actions are detrimental to a scientist’s pride. Although not as antagonistic as Lilith, Shaka does not trust pirates and so will take steps to prevent attack if he is in company of such.

Abilities and Powers

Being a satellite of Vegapunk, Shaka has likely been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments. Shaka appears to be able to share senses with other satellites, allowing them to know what was going on with Lilith while she was out at sea. Shaka’s analytical skills are a boon in combat situations, as they were able to prevent Lilith from foolishly attacking the Straw Hats by quickly pointing out the crew’s capabilities and strategic mindset.

Momonga

Vice Admiral Momonga is a Marine officer and the Base Commander of the G-1 Marine Base. He was one of the five vice admirals who had led the Buster Call on Enies Lobby.

Appearance

Momonga is a man with a black mohawk and a mustache (dark red in the anime). He wears the standard marine uniform, consisting of a purple and white pinstripe suit with a coat draped over his shoulders, like Kizaru. Underneath his coat lies a dark blue shirt and a light blue tie. He is of average height and very well-built. He carries around his weapon of choice, a katana, either attached to his right hip or on his shoulder. In his youth, he wore a marine cap and had not yet grown a mustache. Twenty-seven years ago Momonga looked the same, except his mustache was much longer and thinner, and his mohawk was arranged in a different style, pointing forward.

Personality

Momonga is very serious. He is stern and dead set on completing all of his missions. As of yet, it is uncertain what type of "Justice" he follows, although he appears to be sincerely concerned on the welfare of his subordinates. However, he is sometimes easily annoyed by their incompetence, as seen when they quickly fell for Hancock's charms. He is apparently instinctive, being that he figured out a way to block the effects of Boa Hancock's Mero Mero Mellow beam in mere seconds. Although he is not completely immune to her beauty, he is at least resilient enough to not be completely captivated by her charms. Momonga also appears to value etiquette and civility, as he was quickly disgusted by the atrocious behavior of many despicable Level 6 inmates in Impel Down when a large number of them began hooting and hollering at the sight of Boa Hancock and said disgusting things to Magellan, which he found highly undignified and vulgar.

Abilities and Powers

As a vice admiral within the marines, Momonga can execute a Buster Call if he has the support of four other vice admirals and has authority over a large number of subordinates and those of lower rank. Momonga has respectable abilities in both mind and body. When he waits to "collect" Hancock, he kills a Sea King from the inside. Similarly, he is able to block Hancock's Devil Fruit abilities by stabbing his hand with a knife, using pain to block the lust that consumed the rest of his crew and turned them into stone. Hancock stated that it was his experience that prevented him from being affected by her power. Momonga also leaves Hancock with a warning that even without his men he is still dangerous.

Physical Abilities

Momonga has incredible strength as he was able to easily kill a Sea King which is tough enough to resist gunfire and cannonballs without taking any damage. Momonga is also extremely agile, as shortly after he dived inside the Sea King's stomach through the mouth, he swiftly killed it. He has a strong tolerance to pain as he readily stabbed his own hand to resist the effects of Hancock's petrification powers.

Rokushiki

Momonga can use at least two of the Rokushiki techniques. During the Summit War of Marineford, he is seen using Soru and Geppo against Monkey D. Luffy.

Swordsmanship

Momonga is a highly proficient and powerful swordsman, as seen when he could kill a Sea King with his sword from the inside of its belly. He is seen employing swordsmanship with his Rokushiki techniques. In the anime, he could cleanly slice Panz Fry's gigantic soup ladle made of metal and also take down the giant in a single slash.

Weapons

Momonga carries around a katana with a flower-shaped octofoil tsuba and a brown hilt-wrapping, attached to his right hip, which may suggest that he's either left-handed or ambidextrous. He also has a tanto, which he used to inflict pain on himself to prevent himself from getting petrified by Hancock's Mero Mero no Mi.

Haki

Like all vice admirals, Momonga is capable of using Haki. He possesses the ability to use Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki.

John Giant

John Giant is a Vice Admiral in the Marine Headquarters, and the first giant to ever enlist in the Marines.

Appearance

John Giant is a giant, and towers over regular soldiers. He is shown to have curly brown hair with a large bulbous chin. Unlike most giants who have a more heavy rounded stature, John is one of the few giants to look mostly human. Unlike other Marines, his traditional white robe is customized, with yellow accents, red borders, and a richly decorated collar. He also carries awarded medals on his left breast, signifying his important rank and status. He wears a traditional red bicorne hat with the Marine's symbol. Unlike other high-ranking Marines, he actually wears his marine coat with his arms in the sleeves. Underneath that, he wears an orange shirt, simple loose pants and boots. Overall, he appears to be a well decorated Marine. He also wields a katana that fits his size, slung over his shoulder.

Personality

John Giant is a loyal Marine Vice Admiral, willing to risk his life during the Summit War of Marineford by clashing with Whitebeard. He also seems to be very serious and stern.

Abilities and Powers

John is a giant, which grants him strength and endurance that is several times greater than that of an average human. As a Vice Admiral, he has command over all lower-ranking subordinates within the Marines. However, the full extent of his abilities cannot be clearly determined as he fought against the powerful Whitebeard, who quickly defeated the Vice Admiral.

Haki

It was stated that all vice admirals possess Haki, so John can also use the ability.

Weapons

He is a swordsman with a katana that fits his size. It has a clover-shaped tsuba and a tassel wrapped around its sheath.

Tsuru

"Great Staff Officer" Tsuru is an extremely famous and powerful Marine vice admiral. Tsuru is one of the major figures, along with Kong, Sengoku, Shiki, Silvers Rayleigh, Monkey D. Garp and Whitebeard, from the times when Gol D. Roger, the "Pirate King", was still alive.

Appearance

Tsuru is a tall, thin, and elderly woman with gray hair tied in a bun. Her attire appears to be less formal than the other high-ranking officers', consisting of an untucked shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and a tie around her neck, and calves-long pants, which makes her somewhat resemble the animal of her name, the crane. She sports earrings made of beads, and wears two bracelets on her right wrist. The epaulets on her Marine coat are golden for the outer epaulets and purple with two white dots for the inner epaulets. During the time of the Battle of Edd War, they were the standard blue. Twenty-seven years ago at age 49, her skin was already wrinkled despite only being middle-aged.  In her youth, she was quite beautiful and had dark blue hair tied up in a loose ponytail, with sidebangs that framed both sides of her face. She wore a standard Marine uniform with a rifle strapped to her back.

Personality

She is a veteran Marine who is not without wisdom for her age. She seems extremely knowledgeable; she knew Donquixote Doflamingo set the Marines to fight each other in the Marine and Warlord meeting when all others thought the two were simply messing around, and knew who Laffitte was on sight. She is not above telling off the younger marines that show concern for her well being when she steps up to fight the incoming pirates at Marine HQ. She then justifies herself being on the front line with the other vice admirals by stating there is no longer a safe place left in the world for her to run to anyway. According to Garp, she is an empathetic woman although she does not show this disposition very often. Tsuru follows "Clean Justice". This motto was first seen in the Adventure of Nebulandia special, and was confirmed to be canon in Vivre Card - One Piece Visual Dictionary.

Abilities and Powers

As a veteran Vice Admiral from the same generation of Marines as Garp and Sengoku, Tsuru is one of the most prominent Marines in the world. She is well-renowned and recognized as a legendary figure by the likes of Franky and Usopp. Even in her elderly age of 63, Tsuru was strong enough to strike intense fear into Doflamingo, who even becoming a Warlord of the Sea was an extremely powerful pirate, as he was quick to flee during her many pursuits of the Donquixote Pirates throughout the North Blue, and despite his initial plans to reclaim Law from the Marines's custody to use his powers to immortalized himself, Doflamingo quickly changed this plan upon seeing her battleship off the coast of Minion Island. Several years later, when Doflamingo lost his title as a Warlord, he still showed respect for her, a stark contrast to his usual disrespect to other high ranking Marines. Alongside Sengoku and Issho, she was part of Doflamingo's Marine escort who fought against Jack, a right-hand man of Emperor Kaidou.

Tactical Skills

Tsuru has vast knowledge of criminals from various parts of the world, being able to instantly recognize Laffitte and explain his history to Sengoku. She is present at important meetings concerning the Three Great Powers, such as the meeting to determine Crocodile's successor in the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Tsuru is said to be second to none in experience and knowledge, and acted as a renowned staff officer for Fleet Admiral Sengoku before his retirement. 

Devil Fruit

Tsuru ate the Woshu Woshu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to literally "wash and hang out to dry" people and objects as if they were clothes, turning them into flat and malleable like fabric. This disables the opponents by rendering them unable to move. This power can also "clean" a limited amount of evil off the victims, which is considered a dangerous ability against pirates.

Weapon

In her youth, she is seen with a flintlock rifle. How proficient she is in using it is unknown.

Haki

As a Marine Vice Admiral, Tsuru holds proficiency in Haki, specifically both Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki.

Monkey D. Garp

Monkey D. Garp is an extremely famous and powerful Marine vice admiral. He is the father of Monkey D. Dragon, the paternal grandfather of Monkey D. Luffy, and the adoptive grandfather of Portgas D. Ace. He was responsible for overseeing Ace's birth and raising a young Luffy, before entrusting them both to the Dadan Family. Garp is one of the major figures, along with Kong, Sengoku, Shiki, Silvers Rayleigh, Tsuru and Whitebeard, from the times when Gol D. Roger, the "Pirate King", was still alive. His feats as a Marine soldier were met with immense notoriety and prestige, with his actions during one incident in particular bestowing him the title of Hero of the Marines. Notably, Garp was offered the rank of Admiral several times throughout his career, but he refused the offer of promotion every time. Garp was first introduced during the Diary of Koby-Meppo Cover Page Serial, where he took charge of both Koby and Helmeppo's training after its events. After the war, he became a Marine Instructor to train new recruits, though still retaining the rank of vice admiral. Due to his actions, he could be considered the main antagonist of the Post-Enies Lobby Arc. He is also a supporting antagonist in the Marineford Arc.

Appearance

Garp is a tall, tanned, broad-chested, muscular old man. He has a beard and a scar over his left eye. In the anime, his eye color is blue, and his hair is gray, whereas in the manga, it is white. Garp and Tsuru are the only two vice admirals to have special shoulder-pads; Garp is golden and blue (black and red in the anime) while Tsuru is purple with white dot whereas the standard color is blue and red. During the Battle of Edd War, Garp's had two black stripes on his epaulettes and during his appearance at Water 7, it increased to three stripes and by the time of the Marineford War, it increased again to four stripes. The dog mask that Garp initially wore when introduced served to hide his identity as Luffy's grandfather, whose design had appeared in Romance Dawn, Version 2. After their relationship was revealed in the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, Garp is no longer seen wearing the mask. In his free time or vacation, Garp often wears sandals, a red tropical shirt and light-colored shorts. He sometimes pairs this shirt with black trousers and boots. When visiting Dadan during Luffy's childhood, he sometimes wears his official black suit without wearing his Marine cape.

Personality

Garp is an eccentric but caring man, who is loyal to both his criminal family and the Marine Headquarters, who he has served for decades. He is loud, boisterous, exuberant, and overall acts in a similar manner to his grandson. He has a habit of falling asleep during conversations and can be absent-minded. Luffy's crew noted his, apparently hereditary, selfishness during Garp's interaction with Luffy in Water 7. Unlike many Marines, Garp does not believe that a person's lineage determines their path. On a similar note, he does not believe that being labeled a criminal necessarily makes someone a bad person. Although Garp wanted his grandsons to become marines, he entrusted their care to a mountain bandit whom he had refused to turn over for prosecution. Garp believes that throwing children into harsh conditions will ultimately make them strong and has no problem hitting children to drive home a point. Despite this, Garp is a supportive person. When Ace asked Garp whether he should have been born, Garp replies that Ace will find the answer if he continues living. When Momousagi mentioned Luffy being targeted by two Emperors, Garp did not express much concern about it. Although Garp will ultimately comply with Marine HQ's most serious orders, he highly values his freedom and family, often to a point where he bends the rules to accommodate these values. He initially refused to capture Luffy in Water 7 until explicitly ordered to do so. Despite fulfilling his duties, Garp has a Moral Code to follow, which according to Sengoku, is the main reason why Garp refuse the promotion as an Admiral multiple times, with one of the code dictates that it is not his duty to protect Celestial Dragons. Additionally, Garp is generally amused by Luffy's exploits as a pirate, and only seriously laments both of his grandsons' choices to become pirates after Ace is captured. He also ultimately allowed Luffy to hit him due to valuing his family more than his duty as a Marine during the war at Marineford. He even seemed ready to defend them when Akainu wounded Ace and was on the verge of killing Luffy. Like Luffy, Garp is extremely blunt and honest when talking to people, as seen when he openly badmouthed Sterry, the current king of the Goa Kingdom, unafraid of the consequences in doing so. He considers the Celestial Dragons scumbags and is not afraid of expressing this aloud. The main reason he refused to become an admiral is because he does not want to be their direct subordinate. On one occasion, he also blurted out Monkey D. Dragon's name in front of Luffy, his friends, and his subordinates without any consideration at Water 7. When he realized he should not have said that he just simply laughed it off, asking those who heard to forget about it.  When Garp prepares to fight seriously, he often removes his Marine coat or a suit jacket. Like his grandson, Garp is extremely fond of food, especially donuts and rice crackers.

Abilities and Powers

Leadership

As a vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Garp has command over all lower ranking soldiers, as seen when he took two of Ripper's subordinates (Koby and Helmeppo) and made them his own subordinates instead due to his higher rank. Also, as a vice admiral, he has the potential to be called upon to be one of five vice admirals leading a fleet of ten battleships during a Buster Call. Being a Marine vice admiral and the commanding officer of the 153rd Marine Branch, Garp possesses leadership skills and is well respected by many among the Marines, having mentored many other prominent figures in the Marines, including former Admiral Kuzan. He is a great teacher, as he was able to make Koby and Helmeppo capable fighters in a short period of time, and he was also selected to be an instructor. He was also the one who trained Luffy and Ace into being strong enough to set sail on their own.

Physical Abilities

Garp's strength is considered legendary. At his best he had monstrous punching power at his disposal, with his epithet, "Garp the Fist", attesting to the tremendous power of his punches. He claimed to have crushed eight mountains during his training to face Chinjao. This is proven when he was able to dent Chinjao's drill head, which was powerful enough to split the immensely hard Ice Continent in two, with relative ease. It is evident Whitebeard respects Garp's strength, as he mentioned him during his talk with Shanks.

Attacks

• Genkotsu Meteor literally meaning "Fist-Bone Meteorite"): Garp throws a cannonball at an enemy ship. Due to Garp's superhuman strength, he can throw them like baseballs, and the impacts are more powerful than when being fired from an actual cannon. In the FUNimation adaptions, this is called Meteor Fist. The literal reading of the kanji is actually Genkotsu Inseki.
• Genkotsu Ryuseigun literally meaning "Fist-Bone Meteor Swarm"): Garp throws one thousand iron cannonballs at enemy ships. The cannonballs are supplied by conveyor belts on either side of him. In the FUNimation adaptions, this is called Meteor Fist Shower.
• Ai aru Kobushi literally meaning "Fist of Love"): A gag technique, which is a simple but powerful punch to strike Luffy on his head. He had been shown to have used this on Ace during his childhood as well. In Pirate Warriors 2 and Pirate Warriors 3, the game adds the visual effect of a giant fist coming down on the enemies and is Garp's first Special Attack in both games. In the FUNimation adaptions, it is called Fist of Love.

Haki

As a vice admiral, Garp is fully capable of using Haki. Aside from his mastery over Busoshoku Haki, Garp is also knowledgeable about Haoshoku Haki. Although not demonstrated to be a user of it, Garp commented that Luffy was born with it when he subconsciously released it. He is also a capable teacher, as he taught both Koby and Helmeppo

Busoshoku Haki

By hardening his fist, Garp became able to counter and even crush Chinjao's Busoushoku Haki-enhanced drill-shaped head 30 years ago, proving his superior mastery compared to Chinjao, who himself is a masterful Busoushoku Haki user in his own right. During the Summit War of Marineford, he managed to punch and hurt Marco, despite the latter being in his regenerative phoenix form.

Kenbunshoku Haki

When Koby awakened Kenbunshoku Haki, Dr. Fishbonen recommended that Koby ask Garp how to master it, suggesting he has enough expertise in it to mentor others.

Sengoku

Sengoku the Buddha is a former fleet admiral of the Marines, succeeding Kong and preceding Sakazuki. Sometime during the timeskip, he became an Inspector General. He was also one of the major figures along with Kong, Whitebeard, Shiki, Monkey D. Garp, Tsuru and Silvers Rayleigh during the times when Gol D. Roger, the "Pirate King", was still alive, and still continues to be in the present, even after his retirement from the Marines. He raised both Donquixote Rosinante and X Drake like his own sons. Due to his actions and his position in the Marines, he is one of the main antagonists of the Marineford Arc.

Appearance

Sengoku is a tall, fair-skinned, and muscular man with a long, braided goatee and a mustache. He is usually seen alongside his pet goat. His cap covers his hair, which is set in a large afro. His afro was revealed after using his Devil Fruit powers and having his cap knocked off. Ironically, prior to the timeskip, despite already being an elderly man upon his debut (being 77 years old at the time, thereby making him a year older than Garp and Rayleigh, both men being from his generation), Sengoku displayed little to no physical signs of his actual age, with his hair still not having grayed after 20 years. He typically wears black-rimmed glasses and a white and gold full Marine admiral uniform that is adorned with medals. The most distinctive features of this uniform are a life-size seagull on top of his cap, and his oversized Marine coat which he wears like a cape. His coat has the kanji for justice, in blue, emblazoned on the back, and has unique colored cuffs, with his being white. Twenty years before the present storyline, when Sengoku was already an admiral, he did not cover his afro and sported only a mustache. During his orders to Saul to bombard Ohara, he wore less regal-looking attire than he does in the present storyline: a simple black tank top, blue jeans, and his glasses, which is unlike a typical admiral's formal suit. The only Marine-related attire he wore at the time was apparently his Marine coat, draped over like a cape. However, when he was fighting Shiki in Marineford, he was wearing a black double-breasted suit with a blue tie under his coat. Fourteen years ago, still as an Admiral, he is seen wearing a white suit with a floral button dress shirt underneath and begins to grow his trademark braided goatee, albeit much shorter than it is now. His epaulettes during his time as an Admiral were similar to Garp's, which were red and black, but he doesn't have black on it, and he never used red epaulets ever since he became Fleet Admiral. In his youth, he also did not cover his afro and he lacked a beard. As a child, Sengoku had his trademark afro, and he was seen wearing a karate uniform with a black belt tied on his waist. During the two-year timeskip, Sengoku aged with his hair turning gray, and has also grown sideburns. His former uniform is now replaced with a more casual wear during his retirement. He is wearing a dark blue shirt with red and green zig-zag patterns, orange tie with white marine shorts, and a Marine coat.

Personality

Sengoku appears to be an exceedingly proud, enlightened, and intelligent man who was loyal to the World Government and, up until the cover-up of the Impel Down incident, never questioned orders from them. He also will not accept any reason for letting a criminal go, and also has a habit of getting very irritated with failure. His motto is "Reigning Justice", in that he prioritizes upholding justice over all things, although he certainly does not shy away from actions that fall under the code of Absolute Justice. From his view, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are just pirates, though he notes how valuable they can be when the time comes. However, as the years went by, he appeared to be losing his faith in the government, shown after the Summit War of Marineford when he was furious at the order from the Five Elders to suppress the second escape incident in Level 6 of Impel Down to save face and keep the faith of the people, thus placing nations in danger. This eventually led Sengoku to resign from the Marines.

Abilities and Powers

Tactical Skills

An extraordinary master strategist with immense military experience, Sengoku is renowned for his tactical and strategic genius by Marines and pirates alike. He is mainly responsible for all the Marine maneuvers deployed throughout the Whitebeard War at Marineford, such as forwarding a plan to all Marines that Portgas D. Ace was to be executed ahead of the official schedule with the intention that the opposing pirate forces would intercept the message and lose their composure. He then conspired with Admiral Akainu in a plot to derail the alliance between Whitebeard's core divisions and the 41 independent New World pirate crews assisting by directing a 20-strong Pacifista division to target only the non-Whitebeard division pirates, and it was possible that the earlier transmissions regarding Ace's true parentage was not only an act of public justification but also to demoralize those pirates who were undermined by the Roger Pirates. With Akainu's persuasion, Sengoku's plan managed to drive one of those captains to attempt assassinating Whitebeard himself, and while the blow was not fatal, it did further debilitate Whitebeard's already hazardous condition. He operated his strategies while keeping close in mind the various powers of his greatest subordinates, especially the Marine Admirals: raising Marineford's siege walls in conjunction with Akainu's "Ryusei Kazan" to rout the allied pirate forces and destroying Whitebeard's flagship, the Moby Dick while protecting the brunt of the Marine garrison from the damage.

Physical Abilities

Even without his Zoan Devil Fruit powers, Sengoku has enormous strength, enough to effortlessly hold down an enraged Garp with only one hand. Sengoku is also a tremendously skilled hand-to-hand fighter. Combined with his Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit powers, he could knock away all the members of the Blackbeard Pirates, who are extremely powerful in their own right, sending them flying. Sengoku has extraordinary speed, even in his gigantic buddha form. He could launch an unexpected surprise attack on all the members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Devil Fruit

Sengoku ate the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a giant golden Buddha and a human-Buddha hybrid at will. This power is the source of his nickname, "Sengoku the Buddha". A number of Marines claimed that they have never seen him use this power before the war. As a Zoan, Sengoku gains an immense boost to his already impressive physical abilities while in his Buddha form. With only a single indirectly connecting punch, Sengoku was able to make the Marineford execution platform collapse, despite the punch being cushioned and blocked by Luffy's Gear 3 inflated belly and Mr. 3's "stronger than steel" Candle Wall. He can also release an exceptionally powerful golden shockwave with a palm thrust, it is strong enough to send a majority of the incredibly strong Blackbeard Pirates, consisting of some of the most dangerous criminals in history, flying a fair distance away. In the anime, his golden shockwaves are strong enough to clash evenly with the tremor shockwaves created by the Gura Gura no Mi of Blackbeard.

Haki

It has been stated that all marines with the rank of vice admiral and above possess Haki, so as a former high-ranking officer as well as leader of the Marines, Sengoku can also use the ability. Sengoku is one of the very few people in the world who can use all three types of Haki.

Busoshoku Haki

Sengkou possesses the ability to use Busoshoku Haki, While he has not yet showcased his usage of it in the manga, he has been seen using it in Burning Blood.

Aramaki

Aramaki, better known by his alias Ryokugyu, is an admiral in the Marines. He attained his rank during the two-year timeskip, along with Fujitora, both filling the two admiral vacancies left by Aokiji and Akainu. Ryokugyu was first mentioned by Donquixote Doflamingo in the Dressrosa Arc, and debuted in the Levely Arc. His full appearance and real name were revealed near the end of the Wano Country Arc, in which he serves as a supporting antagonist.

Appearance

Ryokugyu is a muscular man with thick and wild dark hair which reaches to his neck. He appears to be quite tall, as he looked comparable to fellow admiral Fujitora who stands at 2.7 meters. On his face, he has a somewhat pronounced nose and lips as well as a light goatee and sideburns; he has been shown smoking a cigarette. Ryokugyu does not wear a shirt, whereby exposing a large kanji tattoo "死川心中" (meaning "double suicide at death river"?) running down the left side of his chest. He wears a pair of dark-colored pants with light flower designs on the left leg, whereas the right leg has a few small tears. Additionally, he wears the standard Marine cloak which covers his otherwise bare back as well as a pair of sunglasses over his eyes.

Personality

Ryokugyu is shown to act in a casual and uncouth manner, being unafraid of expressing his mind. With friends and allies, he has been shown to act quite jovial and conversational, as seen by his talk with fellow admiral Fujitora. With enemies, however, Ryokugyu has expressed open contempt much like his direct superior Sakazuki, whom he wishes to emulate out of admiration. Ryokugyu agrees with Sakazuki's principle of never holding back when battling enemies, and is very much a follower of Absolute Justice. Thus, he is quite brutal during combat; he was shown impaling many of the Beasts Pirates in a gruesome manner during his attack on them and kicked Queen multiple times after impaling him. Ryokugyu also tends to disparage the abilities of opponents he easily overwhelms, as shown by his attack on the Beasts Pirates. He also did not make any kind of effort whatsoever to arrest any of them, choosing to instead butcher them all.

Abilities and Powers

Physical Abilities

Ryokugyu's physical prowess are immense, befitting his position as a marine admiral. Despite having not eaten in three years, he has remained completely healthy and not lacking in energy. It should be noted that he has been shown absorbing liquid into his body via his Devil Fruit, with water being a key source of nutrients for plants; however, it has not been officially stated or indicated that this is the reason he has been able to fast for so long. Ryokugyu is an extremely resilient man, capable of taking an advanced Haoshoku Haki attack from Yamato directly to the head, and while he confessed the attack hurt and was impressed with Yamato's level of Haki, he was unphased by the attack.

Devil Fruit

Ryokugyu ate the Mori Mori no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control, and transform his body into plantlife. The plants he creates can be grown rapidly and moved around freely, seemingly not being limited by any rigidity that some plants, such as trees, normally possess. Notably, as plants are a solid element, he cannot turn intangible, though non-Haki attacks are still harmless to him and he will regenerate from any damage. Interestingly, he regenerates by sprouting out of the ground and growing back into his normal self.

Busoshoku Haki

Ryokugyu possesses the ability to use Busoshoku Haki. He is able to harden the tips of the branches he creates with his devil fruit powers.

Kenbunshoku Haki

Ryokugyu possesses the ability to use Kenbunshoku Haki. He was able to sense the Red Hair Pirates miles outside of Wano Country after Shanks used his Haoshoku Haki.

Weapons

Ryokugyu carries around a shirasaya-like katana on his hip that does not appear to be in a sheath.

Issho

Issho, better known by his alias Fujitora, is an admiral in the Marines. He was conscripted through a World Military Draft during the two-year timeskip, being appointed to his rank (next to Ryokugyu) to fill the two admiral vacancies caused by Kuzan's resignation and Sakazuki's promotion. A proponent of "Humane Justice", Fujitora notably spearheaded a campaign for the abolishment of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" system, which came to pass during the most recent Levely. Fujitora was first mentioned by Sakazuki when the latter was discussing plans to deal with Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law on Dressrosa. His following mission and actions on Dressrosa made him the first admiral to physically appear post-timeskip and the secondary antagonist of the Dressrosa Arc.

Appearance

Fujitora is a blind man with only the whites of his eyes showing, though he usually keeps both eyes closed. He has an X-shaped scar centered on the left side of his forehead that stretches over both eyes, which was actually self-inflicted due to his decision to blind himself. He has short dark hair, a mustache, and a beard. He seems to be very tall, a trait shared with other admirals. Like other admirals, Fujitora sports the standard Marine coat with his personal clothes underneath, wearing the coat on his shoulders like a cape with his arms not in the sleeves. His sleeves' cuffs are purple. While previous admirals and other high-ranked Marines wear the conventional suit and tie underneath their Marine coats, Fujitora opts for a light-purple yukata held up with a dark purple belt, all underneath a purple cloak, matching the color in his alias. Fujitora wields a shikomizue (a Japanese swordstick) that doubles as a cane for his blindness, and also wears geta sandals. He has white bandages wrapped around both of his forearms, with handguards on both hands.

Abilities and Powers

Physical Abilities

Fujitora's physical strength and fortitude are immense, befitting an admiral. He was able to defend against and repel powerful attacks from the likes of Roronoa Zoro, Sabo, and Luffy as well as clash with them (including the latter when using Gear 2 and Gear 3) with little to no visible effort. He could also withstand a kick from Doflamingo without issue using his sword. Incredibly resilient, Fujitora could guard against a Haki-imbued Gear 3 punch from Luffy without using his own Haki while remaining unhurt by the blow.

Swordsmanship

Fujitora wields a shikomizue (a sword blade in a cane-like mounting) in tandem with his Devil Fruit ability, channeling his gravity powers through the sword. The sword is a Meito, though its name is yet to be revealed. Usually, Fujitora wields his weapon in a reverse-grip style, the blade pointing in the direction opposite to his thumb. Despite his blindness, the admiral has shown to be extremely skilled with his blade, able to deflect or block incoming attacks, even extremely strong ones or surprise attacks, with little issue using simple parrying maneuvers, demonstrating lightning-fast dexterity all the while. Fujitora's swordsmanship, combined with his Devil Fruit powers, allowed him to repeatedly and evenly clash with Sabo wielding his flame-shrouded staff and exhibit no trouble in doing so.

Devil Fruit

Fujitora ate the Zushi Zushi no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate gravitational forces. The ability's range of effect can potentially span wide areas, even entire islands, and is primarily channeled through the admiral's sword. Fujitora can drastically increase the gravity around others, keeping them on the ground and making it difficult for them to move, including extremely strong adversaries. He can increase the gravity acting on opponents to press them down under immense pressure, even going as far as to create large craters deep into the ground. Fujitora can also control the direction of his gravity, allowing him to generate "horizontal" gravity to attack with a tremendous outward force. Moreover, the admiral is able to employ his power defensively by making fields of seemingly reverse gravity to repel attacks. He can also use the gravity to pull objects directly toward himself, with the field of gravity being capable of reaching (possibly) into outer space, which Fujitora has used multiple times to summon meteorites to strike his opponents. By negating gravity entirely, Issho can enact the controlled levitation of nonliving objects around him. He has been shown levitating a battleship to move himself and his men more quickly over the sea, as well as floating a small rock to use as a personal mobile platform to stand and ride around on, achieving effective flight.

Busoshoku Haki

Fujitora is a highly skilled user of Busoshoku Haki, being able to clash head-on with Sabo, a Logia user who himself is proficient with this Haki. Fujitora can focus a strong concentration of Haki into his sword, rendering it obsidian-black and strong enough to defend against the razor-sharp string bars of Doflamingo's Torikago, which can easily slice up cannonballs and stone buildings.

Kenbunshoku Haki

Fujitora possesses masterful skill in Kenbunshoku Haki, which he uses to compensate for his blindness in battle, and his incredible skill gives him a strong sense of danger. He can accurately predict fast (and surprise) attacks from enemies, like an unexpected kick from Doflamingo, and generally handle combat against extremely strong, fast, and agile enemies without apparent difficulty. Most notably, Fujitora is capable of perceiving living beings around him as images in his "mind's eye" (represented as colored, person-shaped auras on a dark background), in a way unimpaired by his blindness. Additionally, Fujitora has demonstrated the ability to read and hear the true thoughts and emotions of other people, which made him aware, for example, that the Dressrosa citizenry bore no ill will towards Luffy while "chasing" him out of their country.

Borsalino

Borsalino, more commonly known by his alias Kizaru, is an admiral in the Marines. After Aokiji resigned from the Marines and Akainu was promoted to fleet admiral, Kizaru is now the only remaining admiral from the previous trio. He was first mentioned by Nico Robin during the Straw Hats' initial encounter with Aokiji. Because of his actions, Kizaru can be considered the secondary antagonist of the Sabaody Archipelago Arc and one of the major antagonists of the Marineford Arc.

Appearance

Kizaru is an incredibly tall, relatively slim man, roughly the same size as the other two ex-admirals Aokiji and Akainu. He is of middle age with a moderate amount of wrinkles on his face, short curly black hair, and a very thin beard. He is older than the other two admirals, a fact that is reflected in his looks. Kizaru's standard outfit consists of a yellow striped suit with a Marine coat draped over his shoulders like a cape, with his arms not in its sleeves. Kizaru also wears pure white shoes, gold-amber tinted sunglasses, and a dark green shirt with a mauve tie under his yellow suit. There is a tiny Black Den Den Mushi on his left wrist, like a wristwatch, underneath the sleeve of his suit. He is generally seen wearing a relaxed grin on his face.

Abilities and Powers

Physical Abilities

Befitting his admiral status, Kizaru's physical prowess is immense. His raw strength was enough for him to trade equal blows with the elder (yet still extremely powerful) Rayleigh and even engage Whitebeard, who was the "Strongest man in the world" (the latter's bodily might, even in his old age, vastly exceeding a giant's), even holding down Whitebeard's large naginata down with just one foot, without a lot of effort. Generally, Kizaru's melee attack style empathizes incredibly heavy kicks via his ability to move at the speed of light, allowing Kizaru to easily demolish entire buildings and incapacitate pirates worth over Beli 100,000,000 with a single blow.

Swordsmanship

Kizaru has shown to be an extremely skilled swordsman, specifically in wielding his large light sword. He could fight evenly Rayleigh, an extremely skilled swordsman in his own right despite being old and out of shape, to a draw even while having his intangibility negated by his foe's powerful Haki.

Devil Fruit

Kizaru ate the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control, and transform his body into light. Among other things, he is able to move, travel, and perform kicks at the speed of light, shoot laser beams, and blind his opponents. For offense, Kizaru can shoot powerful laser beams from his fingertips and the bottoms of his feet, which can easily pierce through flesh and/or set off massive, heat-based explosions. He can fire a single laser with pinpoint accuracy or unleash a massive gatling of laser bullets over a wide area.

Busoshoku Haki

During the Summit War, Kizaru was seen using advanced-grade Busoshoku Haki to negate a long-distance quake shockwave sent out by Whitebeard, by generating, alongside his fellow admirals, an emitted shield combination of their three Haki to disperse said shockwave.

Kenbunshoku Haki

Borsalino possesses the ability to use Kenbunshoku Haki.

Sakazuki

Sakazuki, formerly known by his admiral alias Akainu, is the current fleet admiral of the Marines, succeeding the previous fleet admiral, Sengoku. During the first half of the series, he was one of the three admirals, as the last one to debut. Upon becoming the fleet admiral, one of Sakazuki's first decisions was to relocate Marine Headquarters into the New World in preparation for the New Pirate Age. In the manga, Akainu was first mentioned by Nico Robin during the initial encounter with Aokiji. In the anime, he was mentioned earlier by vice admiral Jonathan during the anime-only G-8 Arc, which aired after Akainu had been revealed in the manga. Sakazuki is perhaps the most strident follower of Absolute Justice in the entire series, to the point where his extremism prompted his fellow admiral Aokiji to oppose his promotion to fleet admiral and resign from the Marines after this effort failed. Because of his actions, Sakazuki is one of the main antagonists of the Marineford Arc and, after his promotion, he became one of the central antagonists of the series.

Appearance

Sakazuki is an incredibly tall, light-skinned, unusually muscular man (the most muscular of the former admirals and being on par with Sengoku and Garp). He's about as tall as his fellow admirals, with a square-shaped face, very pronounced facial features, and short black hair. He stands at 306 cm (10'), making him taller than other massive characters like Jinbe, who is 301 cm. He usually wears a standard Marine cap and sports a crimson, double-breasted suit, decorated with what appears to be a pink rose on his left buttonhole. Unlike many high-ranking Marines, he does not wear a tie, but instead leaves his light red colored flower-patterned shirt unbuttoned, showing his muscular neck and part of his tattoo. He wears black gloves and black shoes. The tattoo on the left side of his chest is black (light blue in the anime), containing numerous images of flowers integrated into its design. Sakazuki's tattoo has flame-shaped edges, and it extends from the admiral's left shoulder to his hip, covering part of his back and ribs. He has another, smaller tattoo in the shape of a black sword on his right deltoids and a small part of the biceps. In the anime, his eye color is seen to be brown, and this was also shown in a colored drawing by Eiichiro Oda. In his youth, Sakazuki wore an open red shirt, as well as a set of khaki pants held up with a loosely tied yellow-orange ribbed belt with a silver bullseye shaped buckle, and a pair of red sneakers. He also carried a katana on his back. Twenty-two years ago at the Ohara Incident, he wore a simple white Marine cap under a dark gray hood that seemed to be a part of a cloak he wore beneath his suit, or Marine coat. Until getting off his chair in order to destroy an incoming iceberg during the Summit War of Marineford, his face was always hidden by the bill of his cap. As a child, Sakazuki still had the grim disposition he retained as an adult. He also wore tattered clothes and carried a dagger. He wore a cap similar to the Marines' cap he would don in the future, except it has the kanji for "justice" instead. After the timeskip, as a result of his intense battle with Kuzan at Punk Hazard, the right side of Sakazuki's neck and face are scarred, and a chunk of his right ear is missing. In addition to his injuries, he also grew a mustache and goatee. He has also replaced his trademark red suit for a white one, similar to what Sengoku wore when he was Fleet Admiral; however, Sakazuki still wears the same floral pattern shirt underneath and doesn't wear his black signature gloves. He continues to wear the standard Marine cap, though unlike his predecessor's, it does not have the life-sized seagull on top. He is also frequently seen smoking a cigar. Later during the Wano Country Arc, he appears to be wearing a darker suit once more, possibly a red one like his pre-timeskip suit.

Abilities and Powers

Leadership and Intelligence

Attesting to Sakazuki's perceived leadership competencies and military acumen, he had many dignitaries of the government strongly push for him to succeed Sengoku as fleet admiral, over the latter's personal nomination of Kuzan. While known, feared, and disdained by some for his hardline, over-the-top methods, Sakazuki's prowess as a leader is undeniable. Indeed, as noted by Jinbe, the Marine HQ under him has grown far stronger and more determined than ever before, despite the resignations of Kuzan, Sengoku, and Garp, thus bearing out Sakazuki's capabilities.

Beside combat, Sakazuki is a shrewd manipulator, using whatever knowledge he holds of enemies to try to deceive them into doing what conforms with his goals. He feigned sympathy to Squard, exploiting his hatred of the late Pirate King to influence him into betraying his loyalty to Whitebeard, and later purposefully insulted Whitebeard's honor to goad Ace into attacking him, successfully doing so as to prevent Ace from escaping, and killing him shortly after by aiming for his younger brother and letting Ace take the blow in the former's stead.

Physical Abilities

As with all admirals, Sakazuki's physical prowess is immense. His raw physical strength was enough for him to go up against and clash evenly with Whitebeard in close quarters—the "Strongest Man in the World" who, in his old age, could still overpower a giant's strength easily. Using a single leg, Sakazuki held back a two-handed swing of the elder's large naginata, which came clad in a quake bubble to massively enhance its power.

Devil Fruit

Sakazuki ate the Magu Magu no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control, and transform his body into magma. His magma is extremely hot and highly explosive, thus making it well-suited for combat, allowing Sakazuki to burn, melt, and destroy anything in his path—in fact, among all Devil Fruits, Sakazuki's is said to offer the greatest attack power.

Haki

As the fleet admiral of the marines, Sakazuki is a highly skilled Haki user.

Busoshoku Haki

During the Summit War, Sakazuki was seen using advanced-grade Busoshoku Haki to block and disperse a long-distance quake shockwave sent out by Whitebeard, by generating, with his fellow admirals, an emitted shield combination of their three Haki.

Kenbunshoku Haki

Sakazuki possesses the ability to use Kenbunshoku Haki.

Weapons

Sakazuki was seen wielding a dagger as a child and a red-hilted katana during his youth as a Marine.

Boa Hancock

"Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock is the captain of the Kuja Pirates and was the only female Warlord of the Sea prior to the organization's disbandment. She is the current empress, known as the "Snake Princess", of Amazon Lily and rules over the Kuja tribe with her two younger Gorgon sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold.

She was first mentioned by the Risky Brothers at the end of the Thriller Bark Arc when comparing her legendary beauty to the beauty of mermaids.

She is the main antagonist of the Amazon Lily Arc, before befriending and falling in love with Monkey D. Luffy in the same arc. She becomes his ally during the rest of the Summit War Saga, as well as the Return to Sabaody Arc. She also acts as an ally of Luffy during the 3D2Y special, the Cidre Guild filler Arc, and the movie One Piece: Stampede.

Appearance

Hancock is considered the most beautiful woman in the world. She has a well-proportioned figure compared to her abnormal and huge sisters. She is very tall and slender with long black hair that extends past her waist with locks of hair that frame her face down to her chin and shows off her high forehead, dark brown (dark blue in the pre-time skip then changed to black after the time-skip) eyes with long, voluminous eyelashes and pale skin. She has a narrow waist and very large breasts.

Her three measurements are (according to Sanji and series creator Eiichiro Oda in supplemental material): B111-W61-H91 (B 43.7" - W 24.02" - H 35.83"), making her breasts a J-cup in Japan. Prior to the timeskip, they appeared to be much larger than Robin or Nami's breasts, but after the timeskip, this was no longer the case.

Her attire changes frequently. When first introduced, she wore a revealing red V-neck blouse that showed much of her chest and a loose sarong that exposed her long, slender legs with the green symbol of the Kuja adorned on it, along with a white cape sporting epaulettes more commonly found on the jackets of high-ranking Marines, and red high heel pumps. She then wore a qipao with a hooded cloak which she used it to cover Luffy until they arrived at Impel Down and then took it off during the battle against Whitebeard.

During the Summit War of Marineford, she wore a purple dress with Kuja designs on it and purple high heel pumps. Upon her return to Amazon Lily, she reverted to her original outfit (with the exception of her cape). In all her outfits, she has worn a pair of golden earrings that resemble snakes and black high-heeled shoes; her attire is also adorned with the emblem of the Kuja, with an exception of when Hancock fell ill due to her Love Sickness, during which she wore a red blouse. After the timeskip, her attire looks the same as when she was first introduced, except it is colored blue (although it remains red in the anime).

Her extraordinary beauty is noted by many throughout the world: one of the Risky Brothers claims that her beauty is in second place of the mermaids, while others like Marguerite and Hannyabal claim she is the most beautiful woman in the world. She is also almost always seen with Salome, her large Snake Weapon, which is usually seen smiling despite wearing a skull.

Even though Hancock normally looks either calmly beautiful or cute (in an attempt to "apologize" for her actions), she can look very intimidating and angered with her eyes bulging madly and her teeth bared, as seen when Smoker attacked Luffy at Marineford.

Before Hancock fell in love with Luffy and when she is not around Luffy, her eyes tend to look emotionless, but when she is around Luffy, her eyes show much more emotion, making her look like a girl in love.

Along with her sisters, on her back is the slave mark of the Celestial Dragon, something that she was so intent on keeping secret and was willing to petrify anyone (other than her sisters and Elder Nyon) who saw it. In order to make sure it was never seen, she and her sisters concocted a lie that what was really on the sisters' backs were pairs of Gorgon eyes which would petrify anyone who sets eyes on them. Hancock uses this "curse" as an excuse for her and her sisters' Devil Fruit abilities.

As a young child, she looked quite similar to how she does now, but the only difference is that only her side-locks went past her shoulders and were worn in beads. During her escape from Mary Geoise, she wore rags and her hair was tied in pigtails.

In SBS Volume 63, Oda drew the Seven Warlords as children. Hancock is shown wearing a small, laced top with exotic swirl patterns leaving her mid-riff exposed. Her only other piece of clothing is a small loin cloth around her hips.

In the 3D2Y special, she wears a purple dress with gold trim as well as black heels, and a great light purple image of her Jolly Roger at the bottom. During the Cidre Guild Arc and One Piece: Stampede, she wears a V-neck black dress with one of the sleeves and a half chest area in white and with images of her Jolly Roger on the part of the skirt, in addition to a purple sash at the waist, and a black cape with a pink interior and with golden shoulder pads, along with black heels.

Personality

Hancock is a very complex woman. At first glance, she appears to be selfish, pompous, spoiled, and used to having her own way. She can also act arrogant and cruel, usually justifying her less-than-admirable actions with her unmatched beauty, causing her to think that she can get away with anything because the world will forgive her (and save for the handful able to resist she is largely successful in this approach, as gleeful suitors of both genders happily forgive her every transgression). She also made it seem that she did not think much of the Kuja tribe either as she commented to Elder Nyon that she did not care if the island was destroyed or not, since everyone would forgive her anyway because she is beautiful.

Because of her beauty and strength, she is used to seeing men and women, young and old alike, fall instantly in love with her. As a result of this, people forgive her when she acts cutely apologetic or reminds them of her beauty. However, when Luffy came along and displayed a complete immunity to her charms, she initially felt that she could not bear the existence of someone completely invulnerable to her powers and would collapse dramatically whenever insulted.

Abilities and Powers

Physical Abilities

Noted as the the strongest warrior of the infamous Kuja Tribe, Hancock has immense physical strength. She could perform extremely powerful kicks that can easily break stone (in the form of petrified opponents) as well as take down numerous powerful marine officers and New World pirates with incredible ease, and knock away Smoker, an extremely strong and powerful Marine, with a single Haki enhanced kick. Her strength is supplemented with tremendous speed and agility, able to land an extremely fast barrage of powerful kicks on numerous marines and New World pirates at once before they could respond. In Stampede, Hancock had enough physical power to deal a blow to the awakened form of Douglas Bullet, that while left him otherwise unharmed, it was strong enough to be felt.

Deception, Trickery, and Charisma

Hancock is extremely skilled in the arts of subterfuge and deception, managing to disguise Luffy inside her coat without eliciting much suspicion across an entire boat voyage and inside Impel Down, as well as being the sister to propose spreading the tale of the "Gorgon curse" to prevent her subordinates from discovering the humiliating brand of enslavement on their backs over a period of decades. Hancock is also highly intelligent, sly, and crafty when the situation demands it, being able to buy Luffy time, using her charms, after overhearing Magellan's plan to halt his infiltration and managed to manipulate events on Level Six of Impel Down by creating a commotion between the residing prisoners and a "protective" Magellan to speak to Portgas D. Ace in private and not attract any attention, as well as stealing the key to Ace's handcuffs for Luffy prior to his arrival, knowing it would be useful.

Culinary Expertise

Prior to the timeskip, Hancock was bad at cooking, but became skilled in cooking meat which is Luffy's favorite dish over the course of two years.

Marksmanship

Hancock is very adept in long-range combat and is capable of using her Devil Fruit powers to strike her enemies from a long distance. She has shown great accuracy in using Pistol Kiss in which she accurately shot Luffy who jumped from the Kuja Palace from a very far distance. With the Slave Arrow, she shot down multiple New World Pirates at once, petrifying them in the process.

Devil Fruit

During her time as a slave, Hancock and her sisters were force fed Devil Fruits by their Celestial Dragon owners as a form of sick entertainment. Hancock ate the Mero Mero no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her petrify people into stone statues, so long as they lust for her. She can turn people to stone by hitting them with any of a variety of heart-shaped long-range attacks, as well as by striking them physically. She can also return her victims to normal if she chooses.

A would-be victim is immune to Hancock's power if they block out their "dirty thoughts", such as by feeling strong fear or pain, or if they simply aren’t attracted to her, such as a blind man not knowing how beautiful she is.

Haki

Hancock is one of the very few people in the world who can use all three types of Haki.

Busoshoku Haki

Hancock is a highly skilled user of Busoshoku Haki, able to combine her kicks with this type of Haki to bypass a Logia's intangible defenses.

Weapon

Hancock carries with her an extra-large white snake with red marks on its body named Salome, that wears a skull with blue hair jutting out of the back and a constant smile. However, aside from using it as a throne as well as to elevate herself above the battle, changing itself into a spiral shape while doing so, she has yet to use it in actual combat.

Salome has the ability to track and sense things on the ocean floor, which was shown when it was able to sense Whitebeard's earthquake before it arrived and when it helped Hancock follow Trafalgar Law's submarine.

Vasco Shot

Vasco Shot, monikered "Heavy Drinker", is one of the Ten Titanic Captains of the Blackbeard Pirates, as captain of its Eighth Ship. He was originally one of several legendary criminals given a life sentence on Impel Down's Level 6, before being freed by Blackbeard and joining him.

Appearance

Vasco Shot is a huge man, three times a normal man's height; of the Blackbeard Pirates' core members, his size is second only to Sanjuan Wolf's. He is stocky, overly top-heavy in build with thick arms, proportionate to his torso, that reach knee level, looking massive compared to his disproportionally shorter, thinner legs.

Vasco has light skin with a red undertone, an extremely wide neck, and on top an unattractive face that is set most apart by his big, bulbous nose: uniform in its thickness, protruding down over his mouth and slightly frontward, with small, nearly unseen nose wings and a strange placement: its bridge starting higher than Vasco's eyes are set. The latter are widely spaced beside his nose, drooping, with purplish-gray irises underlined by black lines (more prominent in the manga) that jut upward from the outer eye corners like lashes, and being topped by what seem to be thin, short brows always drawn downward, touching the nose's upper edge. Otherwise, Vasco is seen with a perpetual, drunken smile, his mouth gaping wide, exposing his big, rounded teeth, with his tongue sticking out, salivating, thickening the apples of his cheeks (marked by blush marks), and forming prominent chin folds. His tall, rounded forehead is furrowed, with a black jester's hat above whose two cones bend over, and are tipped by white pompoms. Behind, his black, waved hair comes out to go down his back, and placed upon the sides of his neck (three on each) are large, golden ring piercings.

True to his moniker, Vasco is always seen chugging on a large, yellowish gourd of liquor strapped on his back by a rope, which has the kanji "sake" (酒?) on its bottom section. Clothes-wise, beside his hat, he has only been seen donning the basic Impel Down prison uniform, comprising a long-sleeved shirt and shorts striped black-and-white, plus white slip-on shoes.

Personality

As his epithet suggests, Vasco's general bearing is that of a nonchalant, somewhat dopey drunk; having yet to be seen in a sober state, how strongly inebriation affects his personality is unknown. He does seem to hate the idea of sobering up, as he at one point suggested to his crew that they invade a town somewhere solely because he had run out of booze.

However, Vasco's apparent goofiness seems to bely his viciousness, which is established by the supposed cruelty of his crimes that led to his bygone imprisonment; said to be of outstanding brutality even by the standards of Impel Down's Level 6 prisoners, and as a result of which his very existence had to be erased from history. Upon his crew's arrival at the Summit War of Marineford, Vasco was seen asking for permission to kill everyone present at the scene, suggesting a lust for battle. Vasco Shot has displayed a lecherous nature such as when he tried to dissuade Devon from killing Boa Hancock, suggesting that they could have fun with her if they took her away.

Over the two-year timeskip, Vasco has become one of Blackbeard's "Ten Titanic Captains" who personally guard the Emperor, acquiring great authority in the crew as captain of its eighth ship.

Next to nothing is yet known about what Vasco is capable of in combat. However, he is strong enough to have been contained in Level 6 of Impel Down where only the world's worst, most dangerous criminals are held. Even more, Vasco was among the strongest Level 6 inmates at the time of his confinement, as when Blackbeard recruited him alongside other prisoners, he chose only those who could survive when pitted against all other Level 6 prisoners in a free-for-all battle royale.

Physical Abilities

Vasco is shown to have impressive endurance, displayed when he took a quake shockwave from Whitebeard (albeit launched from afar rather than a direct hit) and thereafter one of the energy shockwaves from Sengoku's Daibutsu Form, and seemingly recovered swiftly each time.

Weapons

Vasco was seen wielding dual pistols while he participated in the killing of Whitebeard. In the manga only one gun is seen.

Yamakaji

Vice Admiral Yamakaji is a Marine officer, and one of the five vice admirals who led the Buster Call on Enies Lobby.

Appearance

Yamakaji is a tall and broad-chested man. He has a slightly wrinkled face, a round nose with prominent nostrils, thick lips, and a wide, round chin. He has brown buzz cut-styled hair which connects to a thick beard that covers his entire chin. He is always seen with his eyes closed and with a cigar in his mouth. He is also often seen with a cheerful smile. He wears a dark brown double-breasted suit with a black tie underneath, all over a yellow dress shirt with a red polka dot pattern. He also wears brown pants and brown shoes. Like most high-ranking Marine officers, he drapes his standard Marine coat over his shoulders like a cape. He also wears a standard Marine cap.

Twenty-seven years ago, his appearance was very similar. He lacked his beard, instead just having some stubble on his chin, as well as sideburns. He wore an orange suit and a red tie over a white dress shirt, and already had his Marine coat and cap at that time.

Personality

Yamakaji generally acts very nonchalant, such as when he was seen peacefully grinning while the Marines destroyed Enies Lobby. However, during the Summit War of Marineford, this demeanor slipped and he was seen anxiously observing the war. Yamakaji appears to admire his senior officers. This is demonstrated when he was seen acting excited when he saw Garp and Sengoku working together, as well as when he acted protective of Tsuru during the Summit War of Marineford. Yamakaji likes to smoke so much that he even smokes during battle. As a Marine, Yamakaji presumably has a strong sense of justice.

Abilities and Powers

As a vice admiral, Yamakaji is capable of commanding a Buster Call alongside four other vice admirals, and has authority over the lower-ranking soldiers of the Marines.

Weapons

Yamakaji was seen carrying a green katana during the Summit War of Marineford. However, he has not yet been seen using it.

Haki

It was stated that all vice admirals possess some form of Haki, so Yamakaji can also use the ability.
