There are new unknown Admirals, but does anybody know what Sengoku's new position is? After timeskip, he doesn't seem very serious any more I found this in the Wiki: Sengoku the Buddha was the fleet admiral of the Marines during the first half of the series.

Does anybody know what "General Inspector" is? Improve this question. Kizaru isn't a bad guy per se — just doing his job, and he had to respond to the Celestial Dragon incident at Sabaody Archipelago: although there's quite a lot of Moral Sociopathy in his approach, and he ultimately causes more damage than the ruckus the Eleven Supernovas caused via his reckless fighting style and sheer obliviousness to his own strength and the level of collateral damage he brings with him. Akainu, however, is a complete psychopath who kills even members of his own team on the spot if he sees them deserting the battlefield, seems to have a barely suppressed bloodlust geared towards pirates and other enemies of the Government, and was utterly relentless in his attempts to kill Luffy, even killing Ace in between.

His fanaticism was such that he wanted to continue a war even though the Marines' objectives execute Portgas D. Ace and eliminate Whitebeard as a threat were achieved and his comrades were dying by the boatload, just for a chance at exterminating more pirates.

All of them dealt Luffy crushing defeats that affected his confidence in his abilities to varying degrees of severity. Subverted thusfar post-timeskip, as Fujitora fills Aokiji's role: a decent, honorable man who is aware that they are fighting for a corrupt system, and bends the rules as much as possible in order to do the right thing. That being said, little has been shown of Ryokugyu, so it isn't clear whether they are also a decent person like Aokiji or fill Akainu's old role as the resident psycho.

Superpower Lottery : If you're facing an Admiral — even the Fleet Admiral — chances are that said Admiral would have a very rare and very powerful Devil Fruit power. Having a powerful Devil Fruit is not a hard requirement for being an Admiral though as with Z, who has since been de-canonized, and Garp who, while not an Admiral, is easily Admiral-level and has been offered the promotion many times — said Marine just needs to have a ridiculous Charles Atlas Superpower to fall back on.

The strongest personnel that they have to offer. Only the most elite of the New World pirates can even hope to tango with them and likely the top brass of the Revolutionaries, going by Sabo's performance. Garp, though not an Admiral, was given the title the "Hero of the Marines" for capturing big names like Don Chinjao, and his repeated clashes with the Pirate King Gold Roger, and is implied to still be as powerful as the current generation of Admirals even in his advanced age.

Sengoku, who alongside Garp, Kong described as "the two that carried the Marines on their backs" is assumed to be at least as powerful.

Commander-in-Chief Kong. See his entry on the World Government page. Click here to see his Pre-Time Skip appearance. But the island of Marineford is the hub of our world! For all the citizens of the world who fear an invasion of evildoers But justice and righteousness will never be defeated! Don't you dare speak lightly of sinking this island, you fiend!! If, by chance, even a single scholar is hiding out in that ship, all this sacrifice will be for naught. You must destroy "evil" at its very roots!

Sengoku : The job is difficult, isn't it Fleet Admiral? Akainu: "You've wasted several seconds of my time. The Navy has no use for soldiers who aren't righteous! Admiral Kizaru "The Yellow Monkey". Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?

Kizaru : " Ooh, how terrifying! Although Luffy is strong, he isn't a match for the likes of Sengoku for now. To get there, Luffy will have to train harder and grow more. Eventually, he'll get to that level.

Rocks was the strongest force in the world before the era of Roger and he led the infamous Rocks Pirates. He was a threat so powerful that he challenged the World Government head-on like a terrorist. Rocks aimed to become the King of the World, which is a title even loftier than the Pirate King. Eventually, the Navy and the Roger Pirates combined their forces to take him down.

Sengoku alone would stand absolutely no chance against him. King is the right-hand man of Yonko Kaido and quite a powerful pirate. King has tremendous power, however, it falls short of the likes of Sengoku and Garp. Rei Penber is an avid fan of anime and manga. He is the author of some of the articles here that you liked, and others that you didn't.

When he isn't writing, he is often reading all sorts of manga. His other hobbies include exploring the beauty of nature when he can.

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. 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. 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.

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. From his view, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are just pirates, [1] 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. Before the Whitebeard War, he was concerned over the movements of the Straw Hat Pirates , and had followed their actions ever since they departed from Water 7 , though at the time his current concern was about the upcoming war against Whitebeard , to the point that he brushed off the incident of the attack on a Celestial Dragon and left it to the admirals.

Upon hearing about Luffy's break-in of Impel Down , Sengoku was so frustrated that he almost took it out on Garp, [15] and had come close to losing his patience with the antics of the Monkey family in general. Sengoku also believed that a person's birth with the consideration of the parents' reputation is enough to determine the potential impact they could bring to the world if left unchecked, such as Ace being Roger's son [16] and Luffy being Dragon's son.

This is shown at Ace's execution, where one of the main reasons for Ace's execution was not just because he was a pirate, but because he was the son of Gol D. Roger , and Sengoku believed that Ace must be eliminated by any means necessary, even if that meant an all out war with Whitebeard.

His epithet, Sengoku the Buddha, may seem contradictory at best since throughout the course of the series, while he has shown himself to be an extremely calm, composed, collected man, he has also shown himself to be quite capable of anger and violence. Doflamingo remarked on this irony when the Seven Warlords of the Sea convened at Mary Geoise to choose a successor for Crocodile.

He also appears to have some common sense, as shown when he ordered the Whitebeard War to be put to an end and ordered the other Marines to tend to the wounded. His justice is not as uncompromising as Akainu 's, and it seems to be more of a mix of both absolute and moral justice, as he did hold a large speech about morality. Another hint of moral justice is also shown when he got infuriated when the World Government decided to cover up the mass escape of the Level 6 Impel Down prisoners released by Blackbeard, although he once said not to question the World Government's orders.

In addition, in his conversation with Kong , he stated that justice is a matter of personal values and does not endorse one form of justice over the other, mirroring Smoker 's talk with Tashigi in Arabasta. This insinuates that Sengoku is more of a pragmatist in applying justice.

Caesar Clown also states Sengoku is too soft for rejecting the potential of mass-murder weapons and experimentation on prisoners, in contrast to what Caesar believes Sakazuki would want, [19] further enforcing that Sengoku is more moral than he appears.

After becoming an Inspector General, Sengoku seems to have become far more cheerful and laid-back, and tends to take things very casually like his friend Garp, such as how he merely laughed playfully when Issho voiced his thoughts in how Law and Luffy should be acknowledged as Dressrosa's heroes, along with the admiral's decision to not arrest the pirate alliance immediately.

Tsuru notes this drastic change in Sengoku's behavior is the result of how he has less responsibilities as compared to his time in the past. Though he may appear to be stern because of his duties as a Marine, he is actually very kind and compassionate. His drastic actions at the Summit War of Marineford were motivated by the desire to protect innocent civilians from getting embroiled in conflict out of fear that when the secrets held in One Piece are discovered, it would turn the world on its head and lead to total war.

He also expressed extreme rage towards the World Government for trying to cover up the break out of extremely dangerous criminals imprisoned in Level Six of Impel Down, as letting such criminals loose could pose immense danger to civilians. Furthermore, learning about Donquixote Rosinante 's death, a man he considered like his own son, was enough to break his heart and drive him to tears.

Like his longtime colleague Garp, Sengoku's favorite snack is okaki , fried rice crackers. He is often seen munching on them, especially in his retirement. Monkey D. Garp is a lifetime colleague of Sengoku's, having occasionally accompanied him on his assignments when he was still an admiral, and even then Sengoku found him irritating. However, their relationship was tested after discovering that Garp withheld the information that the infamous Monkey D.

Luffy is his grandson, which left the Fleet Admiral furious at Garp. This, added to the frustration caused by Luffy's repeated actions against the World Government, caused Sengoku to start losing patience with Garp and he made it clear he would have forced him to take responsibility if it were not for his position as the Hero of the Marines.

Garp, on the other hand, took the development happily, much to Sengoku's frustration. Sengoku had somehow found out that Garp had adopted Portgas D. Ace , the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger , which was meant to be kept secret from the World Government.

Sengoku warned Garp not to do anything foolish regarding Ace's execution, or there would be no mercy. It is unknown as to how long Sengoku knew about all this, or when he first learned about this, or how it would affect Garp's standing in the Marines.

However, Sengoku had no problem in revealing everything to the entire world. When Garp stood up after being hit by Luffy, he asked him whether he was alright, showing some concern.

Sengoku is also quick to restrain Garp if he tries to do anything foolish, as shown when Sengoku pinned Garp to the ground when he later tried to go after Akainu for killing Ace. Despite being Garp's superior officer, Sengoku nonetheless carries a great deal of respect and still considers him to be an important friend and ally. Sengoku appears to be well-acquainted with Vice-Admiral Tsuru as well. Thirteen years ago in the North Blue , she worked under Sengoku's orders to stop the Donquixote Pirates.

Despite being outranked by him, Tsuru still had no problem calling him a fool for providing her wrong intel. Nowadays, Tsuru appears to be annoyed with Sengoku's new cheerful disposition and lack of responsibility that is almost similar to Garp. Sengoku seems to show great respect for the former Admiral and appreciates his view on justice as well as his potential for leadership.

This was proven when he personally nominated Kuzan to replace him in the position of Fleet Admiral, when he decided to step down himself. Sengoku seems to show respect for the newly promoted Admiral and respects his view on justice. He does not berate Issho for his choice to expose the abuse of the Warlord of the Sea position by Donquixote Doflamingo to the general public.

Despite this, the former Fleet Admiral does lightly suggest that Issho apologize to Sakazuki to mitigate the punishment he received for his refusal to suppress the Government's decision to permit the Heavenly Demon to usurp the Dressrosa throne. Sengoku seems to be casual with his successor to the position of Fleet Admiral. He is amused when Issho uses a loophole to attend the Levely and comments to Akainu on how difficult it is to lead the Marines.

Despite being the last remaining relative of the pirate and future Warlord of the Sea Donquixote Doflamingo , Sengoku had great trust in Rosinante , as Doflamingo was unknowingly being monitored by his younger brother.

When Rosinante was 8 years old, Sengoku took him under his wing and later helped him become a Marine. Because of this, and with Rosinante lying to Sengoku just once regarding to the Minion Island incident, Sengoku would later converse with Trafalgar Law to confirm how and why Rosinante died, and was able to get some closure upon learning the circumstances. Sengoku did not just take care of Corazon like a father, but he also did so for Drake after he fled his father's crew. Twenty two years ago, Sengoku was shown to be loyal to the World Government and did not like anyone questioning them.

However, he has now lost his trust in them, especially the Five Elders , concerning the suppression of the Impel Down incident. This was proven by showing how angry he was at the government's decision not to issue bounties on the many criminals who had escaped from Level 6 of Impel Down.

This is also shown by his outburst at their decision to keep quiet about the breakout, even though any one of the escapees could potentially destroy a country. This was one of, if not the biggest reason, for his resignation from the Marines. As Sengoku was a major figure back in Gol D. Roger 's time, and still is today, he is one of the few enemies Whitebeard respects. Ace before the latter's death. With the Marines' victory, Sengoku respected Shanks' wish to relinquish the bodies of Whitebeard and Ace for a proper burial, as opposed to showing them on the televised broadcast as trophies.

By Shanks' admission, the fleet admiral respected the old pirate. In his meeting with Kong , Sengoku acknowledged Whitebeard to be the greatest of all legendary pirates.

Sengoku shows a great deal of hatred towards Blackbeard for a number of reasons. These reasons include abandoning his post in Marineford, stealing a warship, infiltrating Impel Down, recruiting a number of extremely dangerous prisoners into his crew, abusing his position in the Seven Warlords of the Sea and later resigning from it, obtaining the power of the Gura Gura no Mi , and attempting to completely destroy Marineford.

Coupled with the fact that each action deals a devastating blow to the World Government and that he is also Vice Admiral Garp 's grandson, Sengoku tended to take the frustration he felt after one of Luffy's stunts out on Garp.

Sengoku also knows that Dragon is Luffy's biological father, and considers Luffy to be a great threat to the world due to his heritage, which is exactly the same way he felt about Ace. After the time-skip, he no longer shows any animosity towards Luffy, as he did not reprimand Issho for letting Luffy and Law escape Dressrosa.

Despite Shanks being a pirate, which would make him an enemy, Sengoku appears to have some respect towards him, stating that because of his words, he would officially end the war with the Whitebeard Pirates as well as hand over Ace and Whitebeard's bodies to the Red Hair Pirates to be given a proper burial.

This is the first time Sengoku has shown respect towards a pirate, whereas he would not show respect even towards the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Sengoku seemed to view Shiki as his main enemy twenty years ago in the same sense that Garp viewed Gol D. He warned Garp that Shiki was his to capture, and was annoyed when Garp said he would give him the credit, showing Sengoku felt the need to capture Shiki himself and wasn't merely after fame.

Although he was willing to fight Shiki with Garp when he attacked Marineford, this could be to limit the damage Shiki could cause seeing as he destroyed half of Marineford when fighting both of them.

Despite being on opposite sides of the law, they both cared for the same person, Donquixote Rosinante, and currently honor his memory in their own different ways.

Sengoku told Law that he should live because Rosinante sacrificed himself for the Surgeon of Death.
