The , translated as the "Navy" in the English translations of
the manga and the 4Kids English dub of
the anime, are a
maritime force under the command of the World Government. Currently the position of fleet admiral, who is the leader of the organization, is occupied by
Akainu. The greatest forces are the three admirals, who are currently
Kizaru,
Fujitora, and
Ryokugyu. The corrupted Captain Ax-Hand Morgan (father of
Helmeppo) was the first high-ranking officer of the Marines depicted in the series until he was stripped of his status when he was defeated by Luffy.
Fleet Admiral The
Fleet Admiral is the highest rank in the Marines. Aside from
Kong, the following are known fleet admirals: ======== , better known as Admiral , is a ruthless Marine officer with the ability of the Logia-type , which allows him to control, create, and transform into
magma. Akainu is a firm believer in "Absolute Justice," going as far as eliminating an entire population should an enemy be hidden there. This was first shown when the World Government eradicated Nico Robin's island of Ohara. Akainu destroyed a refugee evacuation ship simply due to the possibility of even one scholar sneaking on board; his logic was that if even one of the scholars of Ohara had escaped with it, the mission would've been a failure, much to the dismay of
Aokiji, who called him a fool for overdoing things. After
Sengoku retires, Akainu wins the position of fleet admiral in a duel against Aokiji after ten days of fighting in Punk Hazard. His appearance is modeled after
Bunta Sugawara. He is voiced at first by Michio Nakao in the earlier parts of the original Japanese version and later by
Fumihiko Tachiki in the later parts of the original Japanese version. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Andrew Love.
Sengoku is a Marine officer and contemporary of
Gold Roger who eventually rises to the rank of fleet admiral. The ability of the Mystical Zoan-type allows Sengoku to transform into a
daibutsu or a daibutsu-human hybrid. Sengoku is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki. Following the Paramount War, he retires from the service and, against his recommendation to promote
Aokiji, is succeeded by
Akainu. Although retired from active duty, Sengoku continues to serve in the navy as an inspector general. Two years after the war, he is shown to have mellowed rather considerably due to his lack of responsibilities. In the Japanese anime television series, he is initially voiced by
Takkō Ishimori, later by
Tōru Ōkawa. In the Funimation English adaptation, he is initially voiced by
Ed Blaylock and later by Philip Weber.
Admirals The
Admirals are the second highest rank in the Marines. At the beginning of the series, the group of the three Admirals consisted of
Sakazuki (Akainu),
Borsalino (Kizaru) and
Kuzan (Aokiji). After the two-year timeskip, following Sakazuki's promotion and Kuzan's resignation, the group consists of Borsalino,
Issho (Fujitora) and
Aramaki (Ryokugyū). ======== , better known as Admiral , is an easygoing marine officer with the power of the Logia-type , which allows him to generate, control, or become light as well as fire destructive beams. Despite his unusually calm and laidback demeanor often leading to absent-mindedness (asking pirates for Sentomaru's direction), he is a highly competent and unforgiving fighter. He is depicted as being conflicted in his missions, befriending Vegapunk whom he had been ordered to arrest for 26 years; his killing of Vegapunk would traumatize him to the point he uncharacteristically lashed out at Sakazuki and caused him to sincerely apologize. The character's appearance is modeled after
Kunie Tanaka. Originally voiced by
Unshō Ishizuka until 2018, he was replaced by
Ryōtarō Okiayu following Ishizuka's death. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Ray Hurd. ======== , better known as Admiral , is one of the Marine admirals who joined during the timeskip. He has the ability to control gravity through the powers of the Press-Press Fruit, being able to make the environment heavier or lighter. Having blinded himself due to the trauma of numerous atrocities prior to his career in the Marines, he uses
Color of Observation Haki to feel what is around him. He wanted to end the
Seven Warlords of the Sea system, which is why in
Dressrosa he had a conflict against
Donquixote Doflamingo and
Trafalgar Law, where he later had to team up with the latter and the Straw Hat Crew to stop Doflamingo's corruption. Despite orders to arrest him, a fight with Luffy made him gain immense respect for the pirate, willfully permitting the Straw Hats' escape to Sengoku's chagrin. His character appearance is modeled after
Shintaro Katsu. In the original Japanese version of the anime, he is voiced by
Ikuya Sawaki. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by
Charles C. Campbell. ======== , better known as Admiral , is the second of the two admirals appointed to their rank during the two-year timeskip, next to Fujitora. He ate the Forest-Forest Fruit, a Devil Fruit power that allows him to generate, control, or become
plant life like a forest, trees, and flowers, as well as manipulation of all plant life , whether on a small or massive scale, with vegetation growing wherever he treads. Inter alia, Ryokugyu can summon roots to impale people and objects and then drain them of their moisture and nutrients, which has allowed him to go three years without eating anything the conventional way. While easygoing much like former Admiral Aokiji, Ryokugyu appears to be a supporter of Akainu's brand of Absolute Justice, but he is more prone to destroying those who do not side with his brand of "justice", especially when it comes to the World Government authority, unlike
Sakazuki . So, thus the is venturing to
Wano to try to bring down Luffy to get his superior's approval. Ryokugyu's appearance seems modeled after Japanese actor
Yoshio Harada. Ryokugyu is voiced by
Jun'ichi Suwabe in the Japanese version of the anime. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Matthew David Rudd.

Vice-Admirals are the third highest rank in the Marines.

Luffy's grandfather. He is famous for cornering
Gold Roger and considered a hero of the Marines. After Roger's execution, he took care of Roger's son
Ace and raised him like his own grandson. He has superhuman strength, enough to lift and throw cannonballs like baseball pitches. Garp takes both
Koby and
Helmeppo under his wing. At the end of the war with Whitebeard, Garp retires from the front line and decides to train the next generation of Marines. He is imprisoned on Fullalead by Blackbeard after saving Koby on the island. Garp is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki and can use the advanced application for both Haoshoku and Busoshoku Haki. He is voiced by
Hiroshi Naka in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English version of the series, he is voiced by Brian Mathis in the Funimation dub. In the live-action series, Garp is portrayed by

smoke. His weapon is a
jutte tipped with
sea-prism stone. Upon seeing Luffy smile before miraculously surviving his execution in Loguetown, Smoker came to believe that he is a potential threat, since his attitude during his near demise, mirrored that of
Gold Roger when he was executed, Smoker became more confused when
Dragon stopped him from killing Luffy. Befuddled by these events, Smoker followed Luffy to the Grand Line and became obsessed with capturing him, to a near stalker like level, which only intensifies upon discovering Luffy is Dragon's son during the Paramount War. Smoker is a mentor of Tashigi since the Straw Hats arrived at Loguetown. Two years after the Paramount War, he is promoted to the rank of vice-admiral. Smoker unwillingly allied with the Straw Hats and the Heart Pirates on Punk Hazard due to Trafalgar Law's interference, assisting in the defeat of Caesar Clown.
