One of the former CoDragons of Gecko Moria who was in charge of "outfitting" his zombie army, and TheDragon of Shiki, respectively, who have been forced into working for the World Government after the Straw Hats defeated their masters.

Hogback

One of the former CoDragons of Gecko Moria who was in charge of "outfitting" his zombie army, and TheDragon of Shiki, respectively, a master surgeon who have been forced into working for was admired to the World Government after point of idolization by Chopper - which made the Straw Hats defeated their masters. And as it turns out, they're some of blow all that much harder when Cross told him the people working on the BioMEGA project.truth.



* ArchEnemy: Both of them are this to Chopper, due to their complete disregard for the medical field's code of conduct, and the feeling is mutual for Indigo, who hates Chopper for constantly upstaging him in scientific feats.



* MadScientist: Both of them are this. Hogback actually gets into a rant on it.

* ILoveTheDead: It's never seen onscreen, but Perona thinks he's this, and there's no strong indication she's ''wrong''...
* MadScientist: Both of them are this. Hogback He actually gets into a rant on it.



* PutOnABus: Both of them, like their captains, are masters of the long game; they know that the World Government can't contain them forever... but they can still contain them for a very long time.
* TrappedInVillainy: Played with. While both of them are evil already, neither of them wants to work for the World Government.

- on, among other things, the BioMEGA project.
* TrappedInVillainy: Played with. While both of them are evil already, neither of them He's evil, but he wants to work for Moria, ''not'' the World Government.



[[folder:Dr. Indigo]]
!!Dr. Indigo

TheDragon of Shiki during Strong World, and one of the only known members of his crew from before he went underground at Merville, who is behind the Booster IQ that was given to the Amigo Pirates, and the mutated animals the Straw Hats encountered during the Strong World incident.

* ArchEnemy: He's this to Chopper, and it's mutual - Chopper is disgusted with him for creating the PsychoSerum Booster IQ, and Indigo hates Chopper for constantly upstaging him in scientific feats.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: He tries to douse both himself and Chopper with cyanide when he realizes he's going to lose.
* TheDragon: He's the only member of Shiki's crew that Shiki seems to actually get along with on a personal level, and was the force behind mutating all the animals on Merville.
* FantasticRacism: Like his captain, he's planning to "dance in the ashes of the accursed East Blue."
* GenreSavvy: He destroys all of the cures for IQ poisoning he has on hand after Shiki poisons Nami, so Chopper can't heal her (he failed when Chopper [[MundaneSolution realized he could just ask the islanders how they did it]]), and realized that a chemical barrage [[FamedInStory wouldn't be enough to take down a Straw Hat.]]
* MadScientist: Well, obviously.
* PutOnABus: He's captured after the conclusion of Strong World, along with the rest of the Golden Lion Pirates, and is promptly forced to work for the Government. He's planning to escape with Hogback - but it's implied that any successful escape will likely take some time.
* TrappedInVillainy: Played with, like Hogback. He's evil - but he's loyal to Shiki, not the Government.

world.



* ButtMonkey: He tends to be getting punched in the face by life whenever we see him.
** IronButtMonkey: It all comes to a head when he faces Luffy during the prison break and takes hit after hit as he says [[Anime/RanmaOneHalf he will fight on]], even as he is finally knocked unconscious.
* TheStarscream: He still blatantly seeks to overthrow Magellan and become the Warden, even if he's half-hearted in the declaration due to the World Government's involvement with Impel Down.
* TakenForGranite: He is, of course, turned to stone by Hancock so Luffy can sneak into Impel Down. She further uses his petrification as an excuse to buy them more time by claiming she did it because he got grabby during her search.

to:

* ButtMonkey: He tends to be getting punched AnimalisticAbomination: All [=BioMEGAs=] are these, since they are MixAndMatchCritters sewn together (courtesy of Hogback) with cybernetic enhancements (Ratchet's contribution) and running on unnatural stamina levels (Indigo's involvement). The [=BioMEGA=] in Marineford downplay the face by life whenever we see him.
** IronButtMonkey: It all comes to a head when he faces Luffy during the prison break and takes hit after hit as he says [[Anime/RanmaOneHalf he will fight on]], even as he is finally knocked unconscious.
* TheStarscream: He still blatantly seeks to overthrow Magellan and become the Warden, even if he's half-hearted in the declaration due
"abomination" part, though, compared to the World Government's involvement with ones in Impel Down.
* TakenForGranite: He is, AttackItsWeakPoint: All of them share the same weakness of a central organ that is a mix of metal and flesh with writhing tendrils. Destroying that will kill the [=BioMEGA=]. Of course, turned complete immersion in boiling blood or an exact strike to stone the organ while unexposed seems to do the trick as well.
* {{Expy}}: Two of the [=BioMEGA=] in Marineford seem to have been inspired out of universe
by Hancock so the [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} ultralisk and hydralisk]].
* HatedByAll: As stated above, everyone in Impel Down, guard ''or'' prisoner, despises the [=BioMEGAs=], and would like nothing more than to see them go. The fact that they have attacked the guards, the prisoners, and even the creatures inside regardless of who they are makes it very easy to understand why. When the Minotaurus managed to cripple the [=BioMEGA=] on Level 2, the beasts and the prisoners actually ''teamed up'' briefly in order to make sure it was KilledOffForReal.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Each of them are composed of more than one animal used in its creation, adding to their nightmarish appearance.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: [=BioMEGA=] is short for Biological Mechanically Enhanced ''Genocide'' Armament. Extra emphasis on the '''''Genocide'''''.
* OmnicidalManiac: All of them have nothing but wanton destruction and slaughter in their programming. The prototype, the Snake-Eater, was used in an attempt to wipe out the Kuja in Amazon Lily. Other [=BioMEGAs=] are seen in Impel Down, where they indiscriminately kill prisoners and Guard creatures alike.
* OriginalCharacter: These monsters were specifically created for the fic since they are the response of a SpannerInTheWorks like Cross and the Straw Hat Pirates' actions now known worldwide due to the SBS transmissions.
* RasputinianDeath: You can tear off their legs, tear off their heads, or rip their ''entire body in half'', but as long as its heart keeps beating, a [=BioMEGA=] won't die. And as long as it won't die, it won't stop trying to attack.
* TookALevelInBadass: The [=BioMEGAs=] that show up in Marineford are advanced enough that they can withstand a prolonged assault from New World level pirates, whereas the Impel Down [=BioMEGA=] were destroyed by Luffy, a strike from Vice Admiral Momonga, Magellan, Inazuma, and Crocodile single-handedly.
* UnfriendlyFire: Several of the [=BioMEGA=] in Impel Down get destroyed by the jailors, rather than the prisoners:
Luffy can sneak into Impel Down. She further uses his petrification as an excuse weakens the one on the second floor and Minotaurus leads all of the remaining beasts ''[[EnemyMine and prisoners]]'' to buy them more time by claiming she did literally tear it because he got grabby during her search.apart, while Momonga and Magellan kill the ones on the third and fourth floors, using excuses like "I was aiming for Straw Hat Luffy and missed" (Magellan) and "I thought it was going to attack us" (Momonga). Inazuma and Crocodile are respectively responsible for killing the [=BioMEGA=] on the fifth and sixth floors.

The Vice Head Jailer, and probably
[[folder:Devil Dog Mercenaries]]
An army of mercenaries Akainu hired from different factions in
the most level-headed member of Impel Down's staff, Domino is one New World. Each are specialized in their own right. Consists of the top subordinates to Magellan.Vikverir, the Angevins, the Suomi and an unnamed group Irian belongs to.



* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Sengoku discloses the truth behind Ace's parentage and execution at the start of the War, Domino is enraged and declares it to be a matter of tyranny, not justice.
* MissExposition: Explains that Impel Down is actually a sovereign nation, not a direct agency of the World Government.
** Later on, she also explains the retrial and appeal system of Impel Down.
--> Then as I was saying, it is rare but ''possible'' for prisoners to appeal to us. If they make a sufficiently convincing case, we submit a report to issue them a retrial. [...] A process that has done nothing to help the Government's case. Nobody in living memory has ever had their case overturned… that is, until we had almost a dozen successful appeals during the last four months. A time period that just ''happens'' to be the exact length of time those very retrials have ceased being conducted upon [[HangingJudge Enies]] [[KangarooCourt Lobby]]. But even then, with any failed retrial our job has always been to assume that they're very skilled liars and punish them accordingly. And that the ''World Government'' bears incontrovertible proof of their guilt, [[PayEvilUntoEvil justifying whatever happens to them as a result]].
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: Part of Impel Down's code is that they will not stop anyone they know to be innocent from leaving, and Domino takes this seriously enough that she's utterly enraged when she learns the Government was trying to kill Ace before he was even born, and sentenced him to death years later, just for being Gol D Roger's son.
* PunchClockVillain: She's only doing her job of keeping criminals in Impel Down from getting out and punishing them for their crimes. She makes it clear that Impel Down's policy is "guilty until proven innocent", and would have no issue with letting people walk if their innocence has been undeniably proven.
* StealthExpert: She was able to sneak up on Vice Admiral Momonga without him noticing.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: She is furious when she discovers the truth behind Ace's execution, and calls the World Government ''demanding'' they cancel the execution immediately. The fact she's met with bored indifferent silence only infuriates her more as she vicously shouts that what they're doing is not justice, but just pure tyranny.

attempts to kill Ace before he was even born, and sentenced him to death years later, just for being Gol D D. Roger's son.
* PunchClockVillain: She's only doing her job of keeping criminals in Impel Down from getting out and punishing AxeCrazy: The Suomi are [[PsychoSerum hopped up on combat drugs]] making them oblivious to pain. The Vikverir Jotunns are likewise doped up, but even ''more so''.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The Jotunns tamed by the Vikverir are a Giant subspecies covered in thick, shaggy white fur.
* BloodKnight: Vikverir live
for the glory of the fight.
* ColdSniper: Suomi are expert marksmen with rifles and, thanks to
their crimes. PsychoSerum drugs, fight with no concern to their health or well-being.
* DanceBattler: As influenced by her Chord-Chord Fruit powers, Irian fights with two daggers to set rhythms.
She can change the rhythm and thus the dance, but her attacks follow a pattern of offense and defense. What makes it clear her especially dangerous is that Impel Down's policy is "guilty until proven innocent", she forces ''others'' to become dance battlers as well, making her opponent follow ''her'' rhythm and would have thus become predictable.
* EvilIsBigger: The Vikverir's secret weapon are a group of mutated and berserk giants called Jotunns, who FeelNoPain and fight on
no issue matter how heavily-injured they are unless they're rendered DeaderThanDead.
* EyeScream: Irian loses one of her eyes to Rob Lucci towards the end of the War, unintentional considering that he'd been aiming for her temple.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: The Suomi's stance on Ace seems to be that while he isn't responsible for Roger's crimes, he has still broken the law and thusly needs to die.
* HollywoodNatives: Irian's faction are Polynesian-inspired, worship an unnamed volcano god
with letting people walk if HumanSacrifice, and are more like Akainu's personal army than the other Devil Dogs since their innocence has been undeniably proven.
* StealthExpert: She was able to sneak up on Vice Admiral Momonga without
head priestess, Irian, considers him noticing.
their god made flesh.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: She is furious when she discovers HornyVikings: Vikverir are more representative of this than Elbaf's giants. Also counts as a BarbarianTribe.
* KnightInShiningArmor: The Angevins - at first glance. Armor? Check. Riding on horseback? Check. [[KnightTemplar Completely devoted to uphold Justice with a complete]] BlackAndWhiteMorality [[KnightTemplar mindset?]] [[SubvertedTrope Uh...]]
* KnightTemplar: The Angevins are this, as indicated above, but
the truth behind Suomi are strict followers of Absolute Justice as well.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The Suomi are this compared to the other Devil Dogs (save the Vikverir, [[ChaoticNeutral arguably]]) - the Angevins supported
Ace's execution, and calls the World Government ''demanding'' execution even after they cancel learned he was being executed for the SinsOfTheFather, the Vikverir just didn't care, Irian was planning to offer Cross up as a sacrifice (and is loyal to Akainu regardless). The Suomi... still support the execution immediately. The fact she's met with bored indifferent silence only infuriates her more as she vicously shouts and the Marines, but they admitted that Cross had a point about Ace not being responsible for Roger's crimes (and their stance is that Ace still broke the law, which is true).
* MythologyGag: The Jotunns are based on the Yeti Cool Brothers from the Punk Hazard arc of canon.
* OriginalCharacter: Just like the [=BioMEGAs=], these factions are all created for the fic due to being New World-grade natives Akainu has personally approved and hired to fight in the Marineford War, thanks to the amount of normal Marines that have been wiped out, rebelled or quit after Enies Lobby, Sabaody and other disasters thanks to Cross's influence.
* PeoplePuppets: Irian is able to control deserting Marines through the use of the Chord-Chord Fruit. Just by touching the deserters, she forced them to go back to fight as cannon fodder, aware of
what they're doing is not justice, but unable to control their bodies. She describes the Chord-Chord Fruit's powers in Marineford Misery Part 2 as "allowing (her) to make anything follow a rhythm".
* PunchClockVillain: The Vikverir don't seem to hold any real animosity towards the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies - they're
just pure tyranny.fighting for the Marines because they're allied with them. This sets them apart from the rest of the Devil Dogs, to a degree - the others are all followers of Absolute Justice.
* ShoutOut:
** The Vikverir worship a god called "Tempos", which is an alternative name for "Tempus", a WarGod from the ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' setting. Specifically, Tempos is the name by which Tempus is known amongst the Viking-inspired Uthgardt barbarians of the Frozen North.
** The Suomi are based on Finnish soldiers, but their habit of going into battle doped to the eyeballs on PsychoSerum is an homage to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aimo_Koivunen Aimo Koivunen]], who famously overdosed himself on methamphetamine in an effort to escape from Soviet pursuit and spent a week in a drug-fueled frenzy, in which he fought his way some 250 miles from his starting point before being injured by a land mine and spending a week lying in a ditch in the freezing cold waiting for rescue.
** The Jotunns, of course, take their name from the giants of Myth/NorseMythology.
* TheDragon: Irian is this to Akainu as she and her people think of him as their god's mortal avatar.
* SignatureLaugh: Irian's "Ruhahahaha!"

Sengoku flat-out admits just before the war begins that the only reason he isn't giving up without a fight is that he's not authorized to make that decision, Aokiji is opposed on moral grounds, Akainu is opposed due to PragmaticVillainy, the world in general is questioning the Navy's sanity, and even the grunt-level Marines basically agree that an old joke is true.
--> For practically as long as
the Navy range from the just (Smoker and T-Bone) to ones had existed, it was a joke in the middle (Sengoku) to lower ranks that becoming a flag officer dropped your IQ by a standard deviation, though the KnightTemplar (Akainu and Onigumo). And then there's [[TheMole Vergo]], who men didn't actually use the term. These days, it was no longer a joke. Instead, it was the only pretends sane explanation for the sheer madness command was planning to execute within a ''week.''

* ButtMonkey: Enies Lobby had Cross (deservedly) make him into this, and life has just been one misfortune after another for Spandam ever since.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Twice within minutes. First, when Cross has the mortars fire on his location. Second, when Luffy launches Jabra at him. Both times, he has to be yanked out of the way.
* DirtyCoward: One of his primary traits. So long as he has his agents doing his bidding, he feels invincible. When things start going out of control, he panics.
* EngineeredPublicConfession: Cross engineers this, letting the Marines listen to Spandam's broadcast that he activated the Buster Call and that he doesn't mind if they all die. They are NOT thrilled. Spandam also let out that he plans to use Pluton to oust the Elder Stars and take over the world himself, which led to Sengoku calling on the SBS to [[SanitySlippage enthusiastically]] tell him to return to HQ and receive ''[[LaserGuidedKarma everything he had coming to him]]''.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Twice before the Straw Hats reached Enies Lobby, Cross specifically stated that the only way he would allow Spandam to survive their invasion was if he could make Spandam face one of these instead. He ensures it first by finding and broadcasting [=CP9=]'s black book, and second by broadcasting the aforementioned EngineeredPublicConfession to the world. When the Straw Hats caught up to him, Robin and Franky took their well-deserved revenge—brutally torturing him—before leaving him to the Marines, who sent him to Impel Down, where the Newkamas abducted him, leading him to be tortured for information by Ivankov.
* HateSink: There is absolutely no redeeming quality about him beyond the aforementioned Berserk Button; he started his career being an arrogant asshole, he framed Franky and Iceburg's mentor and father figure Tom for the sake of his personal ambitions rather than because of duty, he enjoys torturing and abusing prisoners under the flimsiest of pretenses, etc. Even Lassoo though it was okay to eat Spandam in revenge for what he did to Robin because he was horrible enough that he didn't count as human. In the aftermath of Enies Lobby, Sengoku's first action in trying to redeem the reputation of the Marines and the World Government was to record and publish every single detail of the punishment they were about to level on him, noting that not even Cross could call it anything but "justice."
* ItsAllAboutMe: Cross calls him a textbook example of a malignant narcissist, and he more than lives up to it, caring only about advancing his career while paying shallow lip service to his duty.
* {{Jerkass}}: All the way.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: About the only difference between father and son are a few details that are different about their appearances.
* ObviouslyEvil: He looked like a villain even before he got the leather brace after Franky broke his face with a pistol whip, has a tendency to monologue and laugh like a cut-rate villain when it seems things are going his ways, exploits any justification he can to be a sadist...they couldn't make it any more obvious that the only reason he had his position was because of his father's connections.
* SmallNameBigEgo: To the point of delusion. He doesn't understand that the assassins at his command merely tolerate him rather than respecting him, and he overstates his importance while being nothing more than their over-glorified secretary.
* UnwittingPawn: He's this to Admiral Aokiji. He didn't have a clue that he was set up against the Straw Hats in order for the Admiral to do away with his own doubts and pretend to himself that his way was right, choosing to revel instead in having the power of the Buster Call at his fingertips, without ever considering the reasons WHY it was given to him.

In the aftermath of Enies Lobby, Sengoku's first action in trying to redeem the reputation of the Marines and the World Government was to record and publish every single detail of the punishment they were about to level on him, noting that not even Cross could call it anything but "justice."
* ItsAllAboutMe: Cross calls him a textbook example of a malignant narcissist, and he more than lives up to it, caring only about advancing his career while paying shallow lip service to his duty.
* {{Jerkass}}: All the way.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: About the only difference between father and son are a few details that are different about their appearances.
* ObviouslyEvil: He looked like a villain even before he got the leather brace after Franky broke his face with a pistol whip, has a tendency to monologue and laugh like a cut-rate villain when it seems things are going his ways, exploits any justification he can to be a sadist...they couldn't make it any more obvious that the only reason he had his position was because of his father's connections.
* SmallNameBigEgo: To the point of delusion. He doesn't understand that the assassins at his command merely tolerate him rather than respecting him, and he overstates his importance while being nothing more than their over-glorified secretary.
* UnwittingPawn: He's this to Admiral Aokiji. He didn't have a clue that he was set up against the Straw Hats in order for the Admiral to do away with his own doubts and pretend to himself that his way was right, choosing to revel instead in having the power of the Buster Call at his fingertips, without ever considering the reasons WHY it was given to him.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's unclear what happened to him after he fell into Ivankov's hands - he apparently wasn't among the people involved
in the room with Hancock cares much about his state (besides breakout, meaning that he's still alive, as they have orders to keep him that way).
* GotVolunteered: He believed that he was part of the group because he volunteered, hence his better living conditions compared to Hogback and Indigo. However, Stussy revealed that his mother volunteered him so the World Government wouldn't arrest him when his ambitions would put him against them.
* NoodleIncident: The events of Anime/TheGiantMechanicalSoldierOfKarakuriCastle have occurred
in the past, although the particulars haven't been revealed. Needless to say, Ratchet holds a grudge against the Straw Hats, particularly Luffy.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Still his main goal - but the fact everyone knows about it now, plus his imprisonment/"volunteer work" for the World Government, makes his chances of actually pulling it off pretty bad.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He doesn't really like Stussy. She doesn't really care about that, and tends to use him as a punching bag of sorts.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: His reaction when Stussy tells him that the assassination community has decided that getting the Straw Hats involved in a mission invalidates the results.

* EngineeredPublicConfession: Cross pulls one on Vice Admiral Onigumo, and his broadcasted response to murdering a shipload of Marines in an attempt to kill Luffy causes several Marines to look at their uniform in naked terror. If it weren't for Akainu calling in to promise execution to any Marines who didn't fight, they may well have surrendered.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Giants are this, and they did not take kindly to finding out the truth of what happened to Saul.
* TautologicalTemplar: Vice Admiral Strawberry correctly assumes Koala wants revenge against him for having wronged her in some way, then insists that due to being a Marine and justice embodied, whatever action she blames him for were just and his victim(s) got what they deserved. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Bad move.]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable: The Giants in the Navy basically form a lynch mob due to the dual actions of hearing about the destruction of Ohara, with John Giant being unable to refrain from disrespecting the deceased Saul, and the Marines hunting his (Saul's) ward for the past 20 years. Tsuru summed it up best:
--->'''Tsuru''': They want John Giant dead for his disrespect, they want Aokiji dead for freezing Saul, they want Akainu dead for bombarding him, they want you [Sengoku] dead for being in charge… basically, they want blood.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Vice-Admiral Yamakaji's reaction when he realizes that he's got to inform Sengoku that Admiral Kizaru managed to get himself warped out off the battlefield and thus won't be able to participate against the Straw Hats.
--->'''Yamakaji''': "Well, ''Shit''."
* TooDumbToLive:
** John Giant found out the hard way that saying Jaguar D. Saul was RewardedAsATraitorDeserves was not a good idea. Especially not in earshot of a lot of other giants who greatly respected him.
** Vice Admiral Onigumo should have thought more before he responded to Cross's taunts about murdering a boatload of his fellow Marines just because Luffy landed on it, especially since Spandam had fallen for it less than an hour earlier.
* VillainRespect: Instructor Zephyr almost had his mind changed by the SBS, but Kid's attack on his students reaffirmed his stance that all pirates are scum. At least until he watches Luffy's declaration of freedom on the SBS - and he's willing to admit there may be an exception.

%%That means NO SPOILER TAGS. If we mandated spoiler tags then this page and its sub-pages would just be long blocks of white space, as it would be hard to determine what information from both the story AND the main series would count as spoilers to the average reader.

!The Marines

[[folder:General]]
The members of the Navy, the international police force of this world. Though not inherently evil, the corruption of certain officers, the fanaticism of many others, and their subordination to the World Government (which is corrupt from the top down) means that Justice is variable from one high-ranking Marine to the next.

----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Gradually over the course of the story, faith in the Marines continues on a downward slope, with the Enies Lobby Incident permanently tarnishing their reputation and the subsequent Thriller Bark and Sabaody Archipelago Incidents destroying any hopes of recovery. The final nail in the coffin, however, is Silvers Rayleigh's confession on the SBS about the truth of Gold Roger's capture and execution, which destroys their last shred of credibility. Notably, it was that confession that finally drove Sengoku to turn in his resignation.
* AscendedExtra:
** Many Marines have more screen time than their canon selves courtesy of the SBS.
** Most notably, the members of the Zodiac of the Divine, G-8, Admiral Akainu, and Garp.
* BadassArmy: That they are.
* CurbStompBattle: The Marines stationed on Enies Lobby, courtesy of the Straw Hats and their allies.
* DefectorFromDecadence:
** Beyond the Zodiac of the Divine and their subordinates, many Marines defected from the organization altogether in the wake of the Enies Lobby debacle; Sengoku says that there were more resignations in the 24 hours after Enies Lobby then there were in the ''two years before it.''
** The Giant Squad (excluding John Giant) leave after they realize the Accino family tricked them into letting the family into Alabasta, unwilling to endure more scrutiny.
** Several more left after the Straw Hats freed their shadows from Gecko Moria's control, and are now serving Lola in Skelter Bite.
* EnemyCivilWar: Besides the Zodiac of the Divine...
** The Navy turns into this during the Enies Lobby arc, with most of their giants going on a rampage after finding out about Saul and Ohara. And in the aftermath, mass defections of Marines resign and a good number of Marine bases outright rebel.
* EvilVersusEvil: Sometimes comes across as just as bad, if not worse than the very pirates they fight. Most notably Akainu and Onigumo.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Though all the Marines are tough on pirates, there's still a variety of lines they don't cross. In terms of standards, we have the moral and relatively merciful (Aokiji, Momonga, and Smoker), the more ruthless but ultimately neutral, if well-meaning (Sengoku and Strawberry), and the ones who are driven to utterly exterminate anything they perceive as "evil" (Akainu and Onigumo).
* FallenHero: The Navy has become this in public opinion after the Straw Hat Broadcast Station reveals their worst acts of corruption, abuse of power, and plain old dickery to the world at large. It's bad enough that apparently, a large portion of their members defected or quit in disgust.
* FromBadToWorse: The Straw Hats' assault on Enies Lobby, for the Marines and the World Government. Sengoku is so enraged that he plans on attacking the island with all available government forces. Unfortunately, fate is working against him.
** The Straw Hats turned Oimo, Kashi, and the Watchdogs against all of the men stationed at Enies Lobby. Not only that, but it was broadcasted live on the SBS, for the entire world to hear, indelibly humiliating the Marines by making them look every bit as incompetent as Cross makes them out to be. And then Robin finally tells the truth about Ohara, with the entire world as her audience.
** Not only that, but the Straw Hats' assault incited the other Super Rookies to commit dangerous acts, and it even caused some of the Emperors to act out, either to one-up the Straw Hats and/or to draw Marine attention away from them. In brief:
*** Shanks goes on a rampage in the New World, tying up every Marine on that side of the Grand Line. A later chapter reveals that what the World Government called a "rampage", his crew called an extremely rambunctious ''party.'' But then again, they ''did'' destroy a city as part of said party.
*** Cavendish decides he's getting overshadowed, so he raids a supply ship headed for Totland... ''just'' as Big Mom starts craving for the specific thing he stole, sending ''her'' on a rampage and deliberately leading her into Kaido's territory, thereby escalating the conflict. This forces the World Government to send half of their Warlords against her in hopes of calming her down.
*** X. Drake and Basil Hawkins attacked Thriller Bark and subsequently sent Moria on a wild goose chase all around the Florian Triangle after them. And with Crocodile in prison, Mihawk incommunicado, and Hancock ignoring any orders that don't threaten her title, that means that the Marines have no Warlords left to help with Enies Lobby.
*** Bartolomeo attacks a Celestial Dragon's yacht and then insults the ''Five Elder Stars'', who send Akainu and five battleships after him.
*** Capone Bege raided Fort Lumose, stealing a ''fourth'' of the Marines' liquid assets.
*** Eustass Kid attacked Blackarm Island (implied to be the island where [[Anime/OnePieceFilmZ Z]] trains his recruits), drawing out a conflict in need of a speedy resolution for the Marines to have high-quality recruits to replace all their incoming losses.
*** Scratchman Apoo and Captain Dugong attack Task Force Cerberus, capsizing all their ships in the process.
*** Jewelry Bonney and Trafalgar Law teamed up and attacked Marine Base G-76, with the former even procuring a direct line to Marineford ''just'' to rub it in Sengoku's face.
*** And finally, Urouge did ''[[NoodleIncident something]]'' at Kyuka Island that left several high-ranking Marine officers shivering in horror, including men like Garp and even [[GeneralRipper Onigumo]], of all people.
** If that weren't enough, Robin's tell-all on Ohara causes Water 7 to finally cut off the World Government, and several Marines (mainly giants) mutiny after hearing of how Saul (who was popular among other giants) died and that they had been hunting his ward for over twenty years. This forces Aokiji to be left behind so he can quell the mutiny non-lethally.
** The final straw is the crew outright ''disintegrating'' the World Government's flag during the SBS. Sengoku is so overwhelmed and enraged that he can't even go into his Buddha form anymore and instead suffers a ''heart attack''. It is, as he puts it, by far and away the most embarrassing incident for the Marines and the World Government since Roger's execution. And it only became worse from there.
** By the time the Straw Hats finally escape, the butcher's bill in the ''immediate area alone'' is as follows:
--> '''Sengoku:''' Let me see if I have this straight. We have lost Enies Lobby. We have lost [=CP9=]. We have lost a dozen battleships. We have lost thousands of soldiers. We are still trying to locate where Kizaru landed. And we have months' worth of repair work to perform on the Gates of Justice. And meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates and their sixty allies all left the island alive?
** The SBS broadcast of the World Government's crimes does even more damage. Water 7 canceled all contracts with the WG, and now refuses to do business with either them or anyone who doesn't follow suit. A full '''fifth''' of the World Government's member nations erupted in rebellion: mere hours after the broadcast, eight percent had outright declared their independence or overthrown the rulership, with another twelve percent struggling to hold off revolutionaries and uprisings, and a later chapter revealing that the final tally stood at a full 15% of the WG nations seceding. They've lost contact with dozens of Marine bases and vessels, and pirate activity is ramping up in a big way. In short, the day the Straw Hats hit Enies Lobby is, without a doubt, the worst day in the '''entire history''' of the World Government.
** Or, rather, it ''was''... until Cross gave Saint Charloss a live interview on the [=SBS=], broadcasting to the entire world what kind of sociopathic, utterly corrupt monsters are sitting at the top of the World Government and profiting off of the blood and sweat of the peoples of the world.
** And then Cross topped '''that''' with a one-two punch; Rayleigh revealing to the world via the [=SBS=] that the Navy ''never'' captured Gol. D. Roger, but instead he turned himself in because he preferred to be executed rather than succumb to his terminal illness, and arranging for the new Free Feather Report to reveal that Saint Charloss and his sister were beaten up by Doflamingo and the World Government instead blamed it on the Straw Hats.
** Marineford similarly goes to hell once Luffy arrives on the battlefield. On top of galvanizing the Whitebeards and their allies, Cross' foreknowledge and own participation in the battle via the SBS allows him to make better tactical choices which subsequently screw over the Marines. In combination with the Masons' own plans, including a mutiny 'orchestrated' by T-Bone and Hina that prevents the containment walls from going up, topped off with Ace's executioner/friend Isuka going pirate to help Ace escape and Garp quitting after Luffy attacks him, Sengoku ''loses it'' and goes into his Buddha form -- except this time he's very, ''very'' '''[[RedIsViolent red]] [[RageBreakingPoint with]] [[UnstoppableRage rage]]'''.
* GeneralRipper: The ones following "Absolute Justice" are this, most notably Admiral Akainu and Vice Admiral Onigumo.
* MassOhCrap:
** The Marines stationed on Enies Lobby are on the receiving end while facing the Straw Hats.
** Even those Marines not on Enies Lobby get in on it due to Cross's broadcast.
*** Due to the fallout of Enies Lobby, Marines all over the world fall under this due to Cross's reading of the [=CP9=] blackbook, which causes countries all over the world to turn on the Marines and government officials. Made even worse by the fact that a significant portion of new rebels had been loyal Marines [[DefectorFromDecadence until that very day]].
* ReassignedToAntarctica: After the PR ''nightmare'' that was Enies Lobby, Sengoku reassigns practically every Marine that follows "Absolute Justice" to the New World to wage war against the Four Emperors so they are out of the public eye and cannot makes things worse than they already have. This includes Admiral Akainu and Vice-Admiral Onigumo.
* ResignInProtest: A lot of the Navy's more moral members apparently quit in disgust after the Enies Lobby broadcast (Sengoku says a few days afterwards that they've had more resignations in the last twenty-four hours then they had in the ''two years'' beforehand).
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: During the attack on Enies Lobby, roughly half the Marines run away yelling things like, "I didn't sign up for this."
** During the events of Enies Lobby, a large number of Marines (roughly 40%) in at least one kingdom that was rebelling against them quit and help the revolutionaries.
** Apparently, roughly 15% of the World Government's nations have attempted or succeeded in launching a revolution.
* SlaveToPR: After Enies Lobby, the public opinion of the Marines is at an all-time low, with Sengoku stating there have been more resignations requested in twenty-four hours then there have been in the last two ''years''. Meaning that on top of trying to recover from that fiasco, the Marines have become PR's ''bitch'' for the foreseeable future.
* TheDreaded: The higher-ranking Marines are walking death to the average pirate.
* TheDogBitesBack: In the wake of Enies Lobby, Marines all over the world outright joined the revolts against the World Government that had been started by the Straw Hats' assault.
* TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil: The personalities of those in the Navy range from the just (Smoker and T-Bone) to ones in the middle (Sengoku) to the KnightTemplar (Akainu and Onigumo). And then there's [[TheMole Vergo]], who only pretends to be a KnightTemplar.

[[folder:Sengoku]]
!! Fleet Admiral Sengoku "The Buddha"

The highest-ranking Marine, in charge of the entire organization. At 77 years old, he is a veteran from the days of Gol D. Roger and one of the most powerful men in the world in both authority and strength, backed up with his Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha. His good heart rarely shows beneath the stern, uncompromising supporter of Reigning Justice.
----

* ArchEnemy: '''''CROSS.''''' Cross has made Sengoku's already stressful job into a complete nightmare, culminating in a non-fatal heart attack. It's one-sided though, as Cross holds no personal animosity towards him (and in fact is hoping to recruit him to his side).
* BadassBoast: When one of the Marine’s doctors tries to get him to stay behind at Marineford due to his heart attack, Sengoku informs him that he will be doing no such thing in a very impressive way.
-->'''Sengoku''': You seem to have failed to take something into account during your diagnosis, Doctor. I am no mere human being. ''I am Sengoku,'' Fleet Admiral of the World Government's Navy. I might be older than Whitebeard by five years, but the fact remains that it will take far more than one measly heart attack caused by one measly ''pirate'' to incapacitate ''me'' and keep me from ''popping his head from his scrawny neck.'' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Do. I. Make. Myself.]] ''Clear?''
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Fleet Admiral Sengoku wishes for the Straw Hats to engage in 'traditional piracy' over the SBS and even plans on saying prayers for those who'll end up losing their homes. When he gets his wish, he's happy... then he recognizes the voices/names on the broadcast and realizes exactly which island they're destroying: Enies Lobby.
* BerserkButton:
** Do not insult Sengoku's choice of goats as a pet. ''Not even if you're Akainu''.
** As of Enies Lobby, the Straw Hats (Cross in particular) are this to him.
** In a version that is not even remotely PlayedForLaughs, the subject of his deceased [[HappilyAdopted son in all but name]] Rocinante is taboo. Even for Kong. Double on this if there's even a ''hint'' of it being used as emotional blackmail.
* BigShutUp: His reaction to Onigumo responding to Cross's taunts after the former murdered a battleship load of Marines just because Luffy landed on it.
-->'''Sengoku''': '''SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU DAMN SPIDER!'''
* ButtMonkey: Though the status didn't really cement itself until the Enies Lobby arc; during and after that, his job as Fleet Admiral has been literally one crisis after another. The SBS has made such a mess of things that when the Cipher Pols start disappearing, he's beginning to seriously regret his life choices.
-->'''Sengoku''': ''Why'' did I want this job again?
* CallingTheOldManOut: Sengoku is on the receiving end by Tsuru when the full story of Ohara is broadcast, especially regarding why Sakazuki was never court-martialed for genocide. When she brings up the consideration that Cross might have a point, Sengoku responds with [[TheChainsOfCommanding the weight the Fleet Admiral has]] and [[NecessarilyEvil the lengths that he believes has to be taken to win the war on piracy]], and as a result, [[WeUsedToBeFriends the bond the two veterans used to share is severely damaged.]]
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He hates Akainu's methods, and he fully admits it, both to Tsuru and Akainu himself. However, he also says that thanks to the ever-increasing number of pirates, the Marines simply can't afford to throw away an Admiral-level fighter.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Suffers under this a great deal. When Cross airs the World Government's dirty laundry to the world, including a number of incidents he ''personally signed off on'', they get heavier and heavier. It gets to the point that he honestly hopes for death during the upcoming war with Whitebeard. He even remarks that it's a good thing he'll retire if he survives the war -- that way, he'll still have something of a soul to sell.
* CrackOhMyBack: His heart attack when he got too angry at the Straw Hats' antics is a result of his age catching up with him. Though he recovers, he has to keep a careful lid on his temper lest it happens again. Even restrained though, he's still fully capable of cowing ''[[GeneralRipper Akainu]]''.
* DeathSeeker: Downplayed, but he's honestly not all that bothered by the idea of dying during the war with Whitebeard by the time he's decided to resign.
* DramaticIrony:
** Sengoku used to have "screaming nightmares" of Akainu becoming Fleet Admiral. Considering what happened after the War of the Best in canon, he had every reason to worry, and he may still if canon hasn't been warped enough to prevent that travesty.
** He's convinced that Tsuru hates him by the time war is declared. While she is (understandably) upset with him over his actions, she doesn't seem to hate him. She's more disappointed in him than anything, and like Cross, hopes to one day turn him to her side as a Mason.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Sengoku fully admits that he despises Akainu and his methods and would've gotten rid of him ''years'' ago if the Navy didn't need his strength, and says as much to the man's face when reassigning him to the New World.
** After the events of Omatsuri Island, Sengoku grants pardons to the Toothbrush Mustache Pirates and the Tearoom Pirates for their deeds in ending Lily Carnation's threat and gives the Straw Hats a head start to bug out of the island before he sends a [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Buster Call]] to raze the island to the ground and ensure nothing like [[EldritchAbomination Lily Carnation]] can ever happen again.
** He also had no intention of giving Cross his ridiculously huge bounty, opting for one that wasn't much higher than Luffy's, and was furious when he found out Garp had altered his bounty request. Considering that Cross is the primary reason for his heart issues, that is remarkably moderate and measured for Sengoku.
* FlatWhat[=/=]BigWhat: When he realizes that the Straw Hats are storming Enies Lobby to get Nico Robin back, he starts out with a FlatWhat and, as it becomes more apparent, ends up with him screaming out "WHAT?!?!?!" in his Golden Buddha form.
* GameFace: Can and has cowed many a lesser individual with a mere flash of his Buddha Zoan form. Whether this is due to Conqueror's Haki or raw killing intent remains to be confirmed.
* GiveMeAReason: When Akainu is in his office after the events of Enies Lobby, Sengoku explicitly states that while he knows Akainu is too useful to discharge, the Admiral has caused so much negative press that if he gives Sengoku ''any'' reason ''at all'' to declare that YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness and throw him into Impel Down, ''he will take it,'' consequences be damned. And even when Akainu restrains himself from protesting his new orders, Sengoku makes it ''extremely'' clear that as far as he is concerned, Akainu is on his last warning.
* GodzillaThreshold: During Marineford, he ''thinks'' he's hit it when Gold Roger uses Soundbite to speak from the grave and beg Luffy to save his son, ordering Isuka to execute Ace. But that's not it. Nor is it when Isuka reveals herself to be a deep-cover mole who betrays the Marines to save Ace. No, what finally pushes him over the edge is Garp quitting the Marines after Luffy attacks him to protect Ace. Sengoku ''literally'' goes red with rage after that.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He is the head of the Navy. He's neither evil nor corrupt, but he's ruthless whenever he feels he needs to be. Unfortunately, whether or not his ruthless actions have been justified has so far been a crap shoot, leaning towards ''no''.
* HeelRealization: He seems to have at least a bit of one at the end of a side story that's named after him during the Sabaody Revolution (found [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/this-bites-one-piece-si.356819/page-888#post-59507739 here]]) that also details his career as a Marine—and how he went from a good man to being unintentionally corrupted by the Government due to all the horrible choices he had to make, and times when he was faced with only being able to choose the LesserOfTwoEvils—and times when he did things that were undoubtedly evil.
--> ''Sengoku had only one thing to say.\\
“When... did I begin to accept ''this''?”\\
[[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget He can no longer truly remember]].\\
And that scares him like nothing’s ever scared him before.''
** The first part of "Marineford Misery" has another where he considers that his work with the Marines didn't become corrupt as time went on but rather that the corruption had been there from the beginning.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}, maybe unintentionally, maybe not. Does he have to make hard choices to keep the world safe? Yes, it should be in the job description as Fleet Admiral. Does he exploit all other venues BEFORE resorting to extreme measures? He has never been shown, even in canon, to employ anything that isn't the most extreme measure available, PERIOD.
* JokeAndReceive: During the Marineford Misery arc, Akainu informs him that Cross has failed their gambit of turning one of Whitebeard's allies. Sengoku mentally curses Cross to the deepest, darkest pit of hell, unaware (like the rest of the world) that that's exactly where Cross is: the Seventh Hell, the Hell of Darkness.
* LargeHam: After realizing that the Straw Hats are invading Enies Lobby, he starts ChewingTheScenery. This is immediately {{Lampshaded}} by Garp.
-->'''Sengoku''': '''GAUTAMA FUCKING DAMNIT! SOMEONE GET ME GARP! GET ME TSURU! GET ME ''AOKIJI''! ''GET ME'' EVERYONE ''RIGHT FUCKING NOW''!'''
-->'''Unlucky Vice Admiral''': E-everyone-!?
-->'''Sengoku''': '''''EEEVERYYYOOONE!'''''
* MoralEventHorizon: InUniverse example. Reached this in the eyes of Tsuru (and many other Marines' eyes) due to the destruction of Ohara, and most notably the lack of actions taken against Admiral Akainu for the aforementioned genocide.
* MercyLead: As thanks for killing Lily Carnation, [[VillainRespect Sengoku]] informs the Straw Hats that the Marines are on their way to the island.
* NecessarilyEvil: As the [[TheChainsOfCommanding leader of the Marines]], he is basically overseeing the war on piracy, and he's had to make a lot of unsavory decisions since then to keep the world safe from pirates. And considering that his signature of approval is on a full third of the clandestine missions of [=CP9=], that's a ''lot'' of unsavory decisions. Unfortunately, as the Marines are essentially supporting and ruled by an insanely corrupt system that is all but out of a dystopian setting, it makes him look, at best, incredibly naïve regarding the long-reaching consequences of his choices. This leads directly to the next trope on the list.
* NeverMyFault: The SBS sparks his ire for many reasons, but on several occasions that spark was caused by Cross airing out the Marines' and World Government's dirty laundry for the world to see. Maybe it's because of [[TheChainsOfCommanding the burdens of command]], the belief that some things were DirtyBusiness which nonetheless '''[[IDidWhatIHadToDo had]]''' [[IDidWhatIHadToDo to be done]] for [[TheNeedsOfTheMany the greater good]], that what had been done was due to MortonsFork and taking [[LesserOfTwoEvils the best option available at the time]], or simply being blinded by {{Pride}}. Whatever the reasons, he is '''very''' good at working himself up over how Cross is saying things that will damage the standing of the Marines and the World Government while conveniently ignoring how everything broadcast over the SBS is the unvarnished truth, and that none of it would be anywhere '''nearly''' as damaging to the World Government if it were anything other than an utterly reprehensible, thoroughly corrupt system that is responsible for Goda-only-knows how many atrocities, crimes against sapience, and general vileness.
* NotMeThisTime: Despite the man being the bane of his existence (or at least his health) and the very incriminating signature on the bounty request form, Sengoku was ''not'' responsible for Cross's insanely high bounty (he ordered him to be given a still ''very'' high, but understandable, bounty of 500,000,000). That would be Garp, who forged Sengoku's signature to give him that bounty to get back at him for [[ButtBiter what happened]] during his appearance on the SBS. And as it turns out, the Five Elder Stars were also planning to give him said bounty, and just took advantage of Garp doing it.
* OddFriendship: Has this with Garp.
* OldSoldier: He's 77 (five years older than ''Whitebeard'') and the highest-ranking Marine in the world.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He's technically Law's adoptive grandfather, as indicated in Law's own character entry. Law, of course, will one day ally himself with the Straw Hat Pirates. Sengoku is currently unaware of the relation, while Law knows of Sengoku's connection to Corazon/Rocinante but not how deep it actually runs... at least, until Cross fills him in.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As noted under IDidWhatIHadToDo and NeverMyFault, Sengoku stands staunchly by his decisions as necessary for the sake of the world no matter how drastic and extreme they are, even if he may not personally like having to make them. So needless to say, it's damn shocking when Sengoku admits that he would release Ace and hand him back over to Whitebeard when face-to-face with the Emperor and only won't because the power to do so doesn't lie with him this time. He even addresses Whitebeard by his real name to emphasize his thoughts on the matter.
* RealityEnsues: He's even older than Whitebeard, and it's made clear that the stress he's been having to deal with is causing serious health issues for him (even more so than in canon).
* SanitySlippage: From the moment the Straw Hats start invading Enies Lobby, he's furious. And the fury keeps growing with every passing hour until, by the time he's on his way to Enies himself, he seems to have cracked.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In Chapter 71, he finally reaches his limit after Rayleigh reveals the truth behind Roger's execution.
-->'''Sengoku''': I. Am. Done. The exact ''instant'' that Fire-Fist's execution is over and done with, I resign. Find someone else stupid enough to put up with this PR death sentence, because I don't intend to. To put it as ''politely'' as possible, '''I quit, deal with it.'''
* SlasherSmile: Gets an outright demented grin when he talks to Spandam after the latter accidentally broadcasts his plans to use Pluton and overthrow the WG.
* SlaveToPR: Has been this since the Enies Lobby debacle, and gives it as the main reason he allows Perona's ascension as a Warlord. Apparently, there is an outcry from certain women's rights groups over there being only one female Warlord (Hancock) and says Perona's inclusion will be sure to placate them.
* SuperMode: His Golden Buddha Zoan form, which possesses enough raw power to leave ''island-sized'' dents in the gargantuan Gates of Justice.
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: At the end of the Sabaody Archipelago arc, he calls Kong and bluntly declares that he's going to quit the Marines the instant Ace has been executed, declaring that it's not worth having to deal with the constant PR nightmares anymore.
* TautologicalTemplar: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He is honestly a good man that thinks he must do the things he's done for the sake of peace, but in practice, his own actions paint him as someone that merely believes themselves to be good without actually being good.
* TemptingFate:
** He told Vice Admiral Yamakaji that "Nothing can make me angrier than I am now." He promptly regretted it when Yamakaji told him that Admiral Kizaru, in his 'eagerness' to join the fight, ended up getting himself warped away to parts unknown. Sengoku's reaction is to [[HeadDesk slam his Buddha head into the Gates of Justice in exasperation.]]
** While he's angry that there will be pirates listening in to it, even he can't argue with the contents of the SBS where Cross goes over how to avoid TemptingFate.
* TranquilFury:
** According to Cross, the tone of voice he uses when addressing him via Soundbite is best compared to "the void between the stars."
--> ''Ah, yes. Jeremiah Cross. The biggest'' [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] ''aggravation in my career, if not my'' life. ''I have only one thing to say to you.''\\
'''''I'm coming for you.'''''
** After the events of Enies Lobby, due to his heart condition, this is apparently the only type of full-out fury he can express without straining his heart. This does not make him any less terrifying when he's angry.
** When Kong tries to bring up his adoptive son in an attempt to convince him to not resign, the answer he gets is a blast of Conqueror's Haki that makes him briefly black out and the previously getting-drunk Sengoku suddenly being ''completely'' sober.
** After Gold Roger calls in on the SBS from the other side to beg Luffy to save Ace, Sengoku snaps, his rage circling all the way back to this as he orders Isuka to execute Ace.
* UnstoppableRage: What the Straw Hats have driven him to by Enies Lobby. By the time Cross starts reading [=CP9=]'s blackbook of morally questionable assassinations aloud on the SBS, for the entire world to hear, Sengoku doesn't even bother being surprised anymore, just angry.
* VillainousBreakdown: It's the Straw Hats' fault, of course. By broadcasting their assault on Enies Lobby, they cause him to literally blow his top and shift into full-on Golden Buddha Mode. If that wasn't bad enough, they end up inspiring several other pirates, from their fellow "Super Rookies" to the Four Emperors themselves, to go on a crime spree simultaneously. The broadcast also ends up causing a spontaneous uprising of almost every Giant in Marineford after they heard the truth about Jaguar D. Saul's death and Ohara. Eventually, the stress from all of the above becomes too much, and he suffers a (non-fatal) heart attack as a result.
* VillainRespect: Begins to respect Luffy after the events with Lily Carnation for destroying such a deadly threat.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Quotes this verbatim when the Oars Jr. Pirates arrive at Marineford riding Sea King sized Sea Turtles.

[[folder:Garp]]
!! Vice Admiral "The Hero" Monkey D. Garp

Grandfather of Monkey D. Luffy and a veteran from the days of Gol D. Roger. At 75 years old, he was the Pirate King's greatest Marine rival and backed it up with raw strength.
----

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' call his son Dragon a hero. As far as he's concerned, the Revolutionary is just a jobless bum using his "hobby" of changing the world as an excuse to get out of "real" work.
* ButtMonkey: Even though he's acknowledged as one of the strongest men in the world, he receives a ''lot'' of comical abuse, usually at the hands of his best friend Sengoku (who uses him as his personal chew toy when stressed, especially when Garp is somehow connected and/or responsible for it), and is just as much a target for mockery for stupidity.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He is a perfectly ordinary human by blood, with no hint ever given that he has Devil Fruit powers, but he can punch hard enough to leave ''mountain-sized dents'' in the ''Gates of Justice''.
* TheDreaded: To his grandsons and even to his fellow Marines. Aokiji outright shivers in terror when thanking his lucky stars that he wasn't trained by him, while Akainu gulps in fear when he finds out Sengoku has tasked Garp with "convincing" him to accept his reassignment.
* DisproportionateRetribution: To get back at Merry and Cross, he pulls strings so the former gets a bounty, and forges Sengoku's signature to ''triple'' Cross's proposed bounty, giving him ''the highest starting bounty in history''.
* TheFettered: When Tsuru asked him how he could accept the Marines' justice, he said that the varieties of justice that the Marines follow are all just opinion, and the only thing he follows and trusts to do what's right is his own gut.
* IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: Is idiotic enough to do this post-Enies Lobby, both with regards to Luffy's parentage (broadcasted on the SBS, no less!) and Vivi's Sovereign's Will, though he assumed that Cross already knew the latter with everything else he knew.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Seeing Luffy go so far as to hit him with a Red Hawk in the face to protect Ace from ''him'', after he nearly punches Ace and Isuka with his full power in a rage, is the straw that broke the camel's back and finally causes him to quit the marines.
* LaughThemselvesSick: Busts an earth-shaking gut whenever the SBS comes on. Much to Sengoku's irritation.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Spars with Boss's teacher Sifu Dugong on a regular basis.
* PapaWolf: As much as his grandson is a pirate, '''do not lay a hand on him if you have any interest at all in living.''' Seeing Luffy in the middle of Baron Omatsuri's RainOfArrows had him so furious that it left all of the Admirals shaking and him fully determined to rip the monster apart with his own two hands.
* SecretKeeper: He accurately assumes that after two months on the Thousand Sunny, Perona had developed loyalty to the Straw Hats despite her claim that she had parted ways with them, but promises to keep her secret.
* SoProudOfYou: Says as much to Luffy after the Straw Hat defeats Lily Carnation.
* SpannerInTheWorks: For Buggy's weakling façade. He's the one who informed Sengoku about Buggy's status as a former Roger Pirate during the Battle of Marineford. This actually backfires for the Marines, because it prompts Buggy to [[LetsGetDangerous go all-out]], attracting Mihawk's attention and allowing Luffy to escape his fight with the latter and continue his journey to the execution platform.
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: After Luffy attacks him with Red Hawk, landing him on his ass, Garp takes one look at his grandson, who is protecting his other grandson, who in turn is being protected by the most powerful pirate crew in the world plus about a hundred or so mutineers and whatever allies Cross managed to gather (including all the survivors of the now-''former'' Cipher Pols), and makes a very prudent decision:
-->'''Garp''': Hey, Sengoku?... I quit.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Garp's reaction to seeing Sengoku's golden hand crashing through his roof and grabbing him while he's listening to his grandson utterly demolish Enies Lobby over the SBS.
--> '''Sengoku:''' '''GET THE FUCK IN HERE AND PAY FOR THE SINS OF YOUR BLOOD, YOU DAMN BASTARD!'''
--> '''Garp:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Shit.]]
* UpToEleven: Cross outright calls his existence a [[BeyondTheImpossible divide-by-zero paradox]] after he proves to be dumber than his grandson -- the same grandson whose idiocy transcends ''space and time''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Admirals]]
!!Aokiji

The Blue Pheasant of the Marines, and the only Admiral with a true moral compass (although even he has noticed that, due to his orders, he's not sticking to it as much as he'd like). His real name is Kuzan.
----

* AdaptationalBadass: While he was already terrifying in canon, it's stated that he can actually create ice that is cold enough to replicate ''dry ice'' with his powers. For reference, dry ice is ''-70 C/-100 F'' below normal zero temperatures.
* BlindfoldedVision: As both a symbol of his shame in causing the "new" War of the Best and to literally avert his eyes from all the destruction resulting from the fallout, he wears his sleep-eye mask over his eyes during the start of the Marineford Misery arc.
* BreakThemByTalking: He's subjected to this by Cross, and it's enough to make him actually want to kill him.
* CurbStompBattle: Even when they're much-expanded, he still subjects the Straw Hats to this.
* IfIWantedYouDead: Cross and Robin do this on behalf of Aokiji, stating that if he was there to kill them, he'd have sunk their ship from ''miles'' away.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While it's yet to be outright stated, his reaction to the War of the Best, Blackbeard becoming a Warlord, and the imprisonment of Ace, Squard, and Whitey Bay implies he's having a ''massive'' one of these under his "cool" exterior. Particularly given he was (by accident) partly responsible for Ace's capture in the first place. This is more-or-less explicitly confirmed during the War, when he decides to fight with his sleeping mask on and his Observation Haki as a replacement for vision, so he doesn't have to see all the people who died because of his choices.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He's torpedoed two of Cross's long-running plans due to his actions. First, he ends up destroying all the work Cross had put into trying to get Robin to trust and believe in them by making her cave into the fear that they're not strong enough to fight the World Government, resulting in the events of Enies Lobby going on largely unchanged. He also inadvertently saved Blackbeard and caused Ace to be captured, setting up the War of the Best that Cross had been desperately trying to prevent. As a result, Cross developed a seething hatred for the man, and refused to consider a DefeatMeansFriendship possible with him even before he learned that Ace had been captured after all.
* VillainousFriendship: A one-sided variation with Blackbeard; while the latter calls him "friend" for saving his life accidentally (due to Aokiji freezing Banaro Island and giving him the opportunity to absorb Ace, Whitey Bay, and Squardo), Aokiji is utterly disgusted by both Blackbeard and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone himself]].

!!Akainu

The Red Dog of the World Government, and one of the most infamous Marines in the entire world for his tendencies to murder anyone and everyone who he views as having betrayed Absolute Justice. His real name is Sakazuki.
----

* AGodIAmNot: Irian, the high priestess of a religion on one of the islands he went to in the New World to replenish the Navy's forces, views him as the incarnation of her island's volcano god. He tried to talk her out of it before an unexplained NoodleIncident made him decide not to.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Sengoku outright says to his face that if Akainu weren't so unbelievably strong he would have dishonorably discharged him and/or tossed him into Level Six of Impel Down ''years'' ago.
* DehumanizingInsult: By people who don't really like him - Tsuru, Sengoku, Bonney, etc. -, they almost always called him 'mutt'. They also used dog metaphors like keeping on a leash but even then, they couldn't stop Akainu's YouHaveFailedMe ultimatum in Enies Lobby.
* TheDreaded: Akainu is feared by pirates and lower-ranked Marines for his willingness to kill ''anyone'' who violates his "Absolute Justice."
* EngineeredPublicConfession: Technically he did this to himself when he called in to the SBS to do the YouHaveFailedMe threat. Either way, the world heard it and combined that with the true story of Ohara, he was negatively received by the public enough that Sengoku knows he has to send him away from the limelight.
* HeroKiller: As of the Marineford Misery arc, he has killed the Moby Dick's klabautermann.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During the incident with Omatsuri Island, when Garp and his apprentices are looking through old information concerning Baron, which Akainu comes to investigate since Garp is suspiciously quiet during an SBS broadcast, which usuall sends the older man into fits of laughter that have to be subdued by Sengoku. After a quick tongue lashing from Garp about how Baron is from his glory days, he immeidately understands and with some level of fear concerning the situation, and begins helping Garp, Coby, and Helmeppo search for information.
* NotSoAboveItAll: During the broadcast from Omatsuri, upon Soundbite's revelation about what fuels Lily Carnation's illusions, he grants Coby and Helmeppo permission to faint when they request it.
* PragmaticVillainy: He has serious doubts about challenging Whitebeard because he knows that even if the Marines win, the lack of manpower that will result is going to be a serious issue in ensuring Justice throughout the world. He finds it more pragmatic to just silently execute Ace without a public display or wait until their forces are better reinforced for a public execution, but questions why the Elder Stars are so determined to pull this stunt now.
* PetTheDog: While minor, he seems to have a soft spot for Jonathan since the man is his favorite student.
* ReassignmentBackfire: From the point of view of the non-Absolute Justice believers, at least. The Five Elder Stars ordered him to start recruiting new Marines from the New World while he's assigned there to start replenishing the forces they've lost.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: After the PR ''nightmare'' that was Enies Lobby, Sengoku reassigns him, and every other Marine that follows "Absolute Justice," to the New World to wage war against the Four Emperors so they are out of the public eye and cannot makes things worse than they already have.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Tells the recruit-level Marines (through the SBS no less) fighting the Straw Hats on the Bridge of Hesitation (who are considering [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere retreating]] after Onigumo murdering a battleship with hundreds of their comrades on board was broadcast to them thanks to Cross and Soundbite) that anyone who runs away will be subject to this. Cross tells them that [[SympathyForTheDevil he's well aware why they're doing this and he forgives them for it.]]
** Later on, in Marineford, several Marines have taken a group of pirates who surrendered prisoner. Akainu (who previously gave the Marine forces an order to LeaveNoSurvivors) immolates both them and the pirates.

!!Kizaru

The Yellow Monkey, and the most [[LawfulNeutral morally unclear]] of the Admirals, Kizaru is somewhat oxymoronic in that despite having the power to move at the speed of light, he's very lazy. His real name is Borsalino.
----

* BearerOfBadNews: During his CurbstompBattle at Sabaody, he informs everyone over Ace's upcoming execution. Cross is ''not'' happy to learn this. '''At''' '''''All'''''. We later learn this was part of the Five Elder Star's plan to try and lure the Straw Hats to Marineford so they could publicly broadcast not only Ace's execution, but the destruction of the Straw Hat pirates.
* BlindedByRage: When he's about to kill the Straw Hats and the Supernovas, he lets his Observation Haki drop for a second due to his fury... which lets Rayleigh intervene and get a hand on his leg.
* BrilliantButLazy: When he arrives at Enies Lobby, he initially doesn't see any reason to join in fighting the Straw Hats himself until Yamakiji points out that him fighting them means he wouldn't have to explain why he ''didn't'' fight to the currently enraged Sengoku.
* ButtMonkey: While he's no less competent or dangerous as in canon, he's been on the receiving end of quite a lot of abuse, with the aftermath played for laughs.
** He's refracted by Nami into the Red Line during the Enies Lobby battle, leaving him in a full body cast.
** The previous example leaves Sengoku furious with him, likely on his getting taken out by a sheer coincidence.
** Rayleigh scares him him shitless, breaks his leg like a twig, and hurls him all the way to the Elder Stars room, leaving him paralyzed for the immediate future and humiliated again.
** Marco was warned by Izo, (who was warned by Cross before the War began) that the Marines were planning to use seastone handcuffs on him, and when Kizaru tries to do that, snaps the handcuffs on ''his'' wrist instead. Note that this happens while he’s hundreds of feet up in the air, causing him to fall à la Wile E. Coyote.
* CurbstompCushion: He utterly ''destroys'' the Supernovas ''and'' the entirety of the Straw Hats, at the same time. The Straw Hats got trounced, but the rest of the Supernovas and Luffy managed to land some blows that he notices could have genuinely ''killed'' him.
* DeusExitMachina: During the battle at Enies Lobby, he was accidentally reflected into the Red Line by Nami throwing up a mirage, and the resulting [[BandageMummy injuries]] incapacitated him for the next few weeks.
* TheGlovesComeOff: When the Supernovas and the Straw Hats finally get a few hits in and actually make him ''bleed'', his entire demeanor changes, and he decides he'll kill them all right there and then.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: Use a reflective surface to counter his light abilities? He's not gonna fall for it a second time. During the Sabaody battle, he immediately shoots Nami first so that she's put out of the battle and can't nail him again. Kid entraps him in a metal reflective sphere? He'll use the friction from his speed to melt through it.
* MoralSociopathy: In comparison to Aokiji and even Akainu. Unlike the other two, who have genuine (if twisted) morality that drives them in their own pursuits of justice, Kizaru is the literal embodiment of LawfulNeutral and JustFollowingOrders -- he doesn't care about the spirit of the law, just the letter of it. This shows starkly during the lead up to the War of Best and during it; whereas Akainu is opposed to the war for pragmatic reasons and Aokiji for moral reasons, Kizaru goes about it with hardly a whiff of reluctance or fear, even trying to joke with Aokiji at one point when the man is clearly not in the mood for his antics.
* OhCrap: When he realizes that ''Silvers Rayleigh'' has a firm grip on his leg, and that ''he isn't letting go.''
* WatchOutForThatTree: Kizaru in his [[LightEmUp light beam form]] ends up flying into [[LogicalWeakness a mirage]], gets refracted out the other side and out of the fight... and right into the Red Line.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other Marines]]
* EngineeredPublicConfession: Cross pulls one on Vice Admiral Onigumo, and his broadcasted response to murdering a shipload of Marines in an attempt to kill Luffy causes several Marines to look at their uniform in naked terror. If it weren't for Akainu calling in to promise execution to any Marines who didn't fight, they may well have surrendered.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Giants are this, and they did not take kindly to finding out the truth of what happened to Saul.
* TautologicalTemplar: Vice Admiral Strawberry correctly assumes Koala wants revenge against him for having wronged her in some way, then insists that due to being a Marine and justice embodied, whatever action she blames him for were just and his victim(s) got what they deserved. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Bad move.]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable: The Giants in the Navy basically form a lynch mob due to the dual actions of hearing about the destruction of Ohara, with John Giant being unable to refrain from disrespecting the deceased Saul, and the Marines hunting his (Saul's) ward for the past 20 years. Tsuru summed it up best:
--->'''Tsuru''': They want John Giant dead for his disrespect, they want Aokiji dead for freezing Saul, they want Akainu dead for bombarding him, they want you [Sengoku] dead for being in charge… basically, they want blood.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Vice-Admiral Yamakaji's reaction when he realizes that he's got to inform Sengoku that Admiral Kizaru managed to get himself warped out off the battlefield and thus won't be able to participate against the Straw Hats.
--->'''Yamakaji''': "Well, ''Shit''."
* TooDumbToLive:
** John Giant found out the hard way that saying Jaguar D. Saul was RewardedAsATraitorDeserves was not a good idea. Especially not in earshot of a lot of other giants who greatly respected him.
** Vice Admiral Onigumo should have thought more before he responded to Cross's taunts about murdering a boatload of his fellow Marines just because Luffy landed on it, especially since Spandam had fallen for it less than an hour earlier.
* VillainRespect: Instructor Zephyr almost had his mind changed by the SBS, but Kid's attack on his students reaffirmed his stance that all pirates are scum. At least until he watches Luffy's declaration of freedom on the SBS - and he's willing to admit there may be an exception.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Isuka]]
!! Former Ensign, Commodore "Nailing" Isuka
A character from the Ace's Story light novel, one of the earliest Marine opponents that Ace faced when he was captain of the Spade Pirates. She makes her appearance to be Ace's executioner at Marineford.
----
* JerkassFacade: She was a deep-cover Mason for five months, and she did a good job acting the part. Vice Admiral Doberman actually said she reminded him of ''Spandam.'' While that's a clear indication she did a good job selling the act, ''damn.''
* MadeOfIron: She was spitting up blood for a few seconds after taking a hit from ''Sengoku in his Buddha form'', and still managed to grab Ace a few seconds after that so she could make a break for it.
* MasterSwordswoman: She's got Armament Haki, flying slashes, and can cut through steel (or at least Sea King bone) without any real concern.
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: While she didn't say it outright, there's no better way to announce you're quitting the Marines then saving the life of Whitebeard's Second Division Commander, and Gol D Roger's son, ''directly after the Fleet Admiral personally orders you to kill him.''
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: After Ace's capture was announced, she handed the request to Fleet Admiral Sengoku to be his executioner. [[SubvertedTrope Except not really]].
* TookALevelInBadass: She's a Commodore by the time she shows up, and demonstrates casually the ability to perform both aerial slashes and cut through Sea King bone. And in Marineford Misery, Part 2, she's able to utilize Armament Haki.
* TookALevelInJerkass: When she shows up, she has become considerably more jaded than she was when she was when she was going after Ace. Until the second chapter of Marineford Misery where it's revealed that [[AvertedTrope in truth, this is Averted]]. She's actually a deep cover Mason and took the executioner position so that she could save Ace. Once he's free, she immediately starts lambasting him for believing she had taken said levels and bantering about joining him.
* VitriolicBestBuds: She took the position of executioner so that she could save Ace - and she also takes the time mid-escape to chew him out for thinking she was actually going to kill him.
[[/folder]]

!World Government

[[folder:Five Elder Stars]]
!! Five Elder Stars

Five aged men who bear the highest authority of the World Government. Everyone in the Marines and Government, save only for the World Nobles, answer to them.
----

* AdaptationalBadass: At least one of the five Elder Stars (potentially all of them) is capable of using Conqueror's Haki, and possesses it to a sufficient degree to affect (not knock out, but affect) ''Admiral Aokiji.''
* AscendedExtra: In the original story, they've shown up maybe half a dozen times over the course of twenty years. Here, they're mentioned... still not too much, but more frequently, and are shown truly making decisions that affect the world.
* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Implied, with their overall distaste towards the idea of freedom that Cross is spreading via the SBS at the start of chapter 64.
* GenocideBackfire: Their first solution to any potential problem tend to be mass-murder, and it just keeps blowing up in their faces.
** They launched a Buster Call against Ohara to stop research on the Void Century. Twenty years later, Nico Robin blows the whistle on this day's events, which contributes to making the world grow unstable.
** In spite of all their efforts, they were unable to find Gold Roger's child before he was born and safely hidden.
** Since they couldn't properly identify the D. bloodline hiding in Flevance, they outright quarantined and razed the entire country as soon as they had an excuse. It left young Law a ginormous grudge against the World Government and it gets stronger after Funkfreed tells him and Cross the AwfulTruth.
* GodzillaThreshold: When they hear Saint Charloss's interview on the SBS basically airing out all the horrible things that happen in Mariejois (and basically driving faith in the WG, rather than the Marines, to an even more all-time low), they're initially just as angry as with any other SBS. But when Dragon calls Cross's bluff and acknowledges that he'll owe him for the rest of his life for continuing said interview, the Stars decide to pull all the stops to finally get rid of Cross, from sending an Admiral to Sabaody to recalling Akainu from the New World to even contacting the Scientists to unleash their latest projects.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: The core of their GodzillaThreshold option. With their reputation irreparably damaged and the Revolutionary Army's leader owing Cross more than he'll ever repay, they will embrace the WG's now corrupt look and use excessive force to kill and destroy the Straw Hats to show the entire world what will happen if the WG is ever in danger. They also intend to capture Cross alive just so that they can publicly execute him alongside Ace to make their message clear. This worries Cross since he believes executing anyone alongside Ace, no matter who they were, would ultimately dilute the message they're trying to send, which implies it's more about messaging a drastic change in methodology for their goals, shifting away from simply extinguishing Roger's bloodline to something even more drastic.
* TheManBehindTheMan: They actually wanted to give Cross his colossal bounty on purpose, unlike Sengoku (and Garp, before he was embarrassed on the SBS), and just exploited Garp doing it before they did in the hopes (that even they admit are unlikely) that someone with more "bullets than brains" would get rid of him for them.
* TautologicalTemplar: Sengoku plays with this trope, but is honestly a mostly decent man. The Five Elder Stars, in the end, have never really given any indication that they're as sympathetic and well-meaning as Sengoku is.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: In Chapter 68, when they learn that Cross has somehow managed to get [[PsychopathicManchild Saint Charloss of the World Nobles]] to make a live interview on the SBS, after establishing just which of the World Nobles Charloss is, all of them are resigned that this is going to make their already crippled publicity go straight down the toilet.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:World Nobles]]
!! World Nobles

The descendants of the kings who founded the World Government, and the epitome of the government's corruption. They are above all law and punishment and abuse this to enslave and/or kill anyone that strikes their fancy.
----

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Charloss accidentally kills the modeling industry after his live interview on the SBS reveals that the World Nobles use fashion magazines to find spouses and kill models for being too good-looking, equating it to trying to match the "radiance" of the Celestial Dragons.
* ArchEnemy: The D, of course, but also the Nefertari Royal Family of Alabasta as well. They have ''never'' forgiven the Nefertaris for refusing to ascend to Mariejois with them, and retaliated with many minor offenses over the years until the Alabasta arc happened and they placed a bounty on Vivi, forcing her to go on the run with the Straw Hats. After that, said grudge match was no longer one-sided, and Alabasta retaliated by seceding from the World Government.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Any World Noble worthy of the prejudice directed at them would never even ''conceive'' the idea of saying 'please', let alone begging, even if they were in the middle of a lynch mob.
* {{Jerkass}}: With a handful of exceptions, most of which are dead, all of them are rotten to the core.
* TheHedonist: An entire city full of them, with each generation worse than the last. As hedonism is the cornerstone of their BlueAndOrangeMorality, they have absolutely no idea how horrifying their actions are to the rest of the world, instead dismissing the difference in ideals as one between "gods" and "mortals".
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Due to their social upbringing, they say the most offensive things without so much as a thought. This comes back to bite the Elder Stars hard when Cross gets Charloss on the SBS and the Noble practically airs out all the sickening and immoral dirty laundry of what goes on in Mariejois, torpedoing any chance of the WG ever getting back to the status quo to such an extent that Dragon acknowledges Cross's claim that he owes Cross more than he can pay back, driving the Elder Stars to their GodzillaThreshold option.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Given by a random guard who has finally had enough of a Celestial Dragon's cruelty and he, his fellows, and all the bystanders decide to take matters into their hands, "fulfilling the dream of every single civilian alive with the misfortune to have crossed [the Celestial Dragons'] path."
-->'''Guard:''' What this is... is ''Justice''.
* PsychopathicManchild: Charloss is most definitely one as he gleefully tells everyone live on the SBS about what goes on in Mariejois and doesn't even consider it to be something horrifying.
* TheDogBitesBack: When Saint Jamolomew was about to shoot a clerk for listening to the SBS, he is stopped by one of his own guards. When the other guards move to subdue him, he stops them dead by simply pointing out with the Marines dealing with all the fallout from Enies Lobby, they simply have no-one to spare to stop them. All the bystanders promptly get up and start eyeing him as well. The woman who was about to be killed locks the door and puts out the 'Closed' sign.
-->'''Guard:''' He's all alone. So the question isn't really what he will do to us. Rather... I'd say it's what we're going to do to him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Spandam]]
!! Spandam

The corrupt-to-the-core leader of Cipher Pol No. 9. Described as a sub-human degenerate and the textbook definition of a malignant narcissist, there is seemingly no depth he won't sink to in order to achieve his ambitions.
----

* BerserkButton: The only remotely admirable quality he has is how much he respects his father; anyone who insults Spandine in front of him gets a summary execution, even if they're someone his own life depends on. Of course, his father was ALSO a corrupt jerk like he was...
* ButtMonkey: Enies Lobby had Cross (deservedly) make him into this, and life has just been one misfortune after another for Spandam ever since.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Twice within minutes. First, when Cross has the mortars fire on his location. Second, when Luffy launches Jabra at him. Both times, he has to be yanked out of the way.
* DirtyCoward: One of his primary traits. So long as he has his agents doing his bidding, he feels invincible. When things start going out of control, he panics.
* EngineeredPublicConfession: Cross engineers this, letting the Marines listen to Spandam's broadcast that he activated the Buster Call and that he doesn't mind if they all die. They are NOT thrilled. Spandam also let out that he plans to use Pluton to oust the Elder Stars and take over the world himself, which led to Sengoku calling on the SBS to [[SanitySlippage enthusiastically]] tell him to return to HQ and receive ''[[LaserGuidedKarma everything he had coming to him]]''.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Twice before the Straw Hats reached Enies Lobby, Cross specifically stated that the only way he would allow Spandam to survive their invasion was if he could make Spandam face one of these instead. He ensures it first by finding and broadcasting [=CP9=]'s black book, and second by broadcasting the aforementioned EngineeredPublicConfession to the world. When the Straw Hats caught up to him, Robin and Franky took their well-deserved revenge—brutally torturing him—before leaving him to the Marines, who sent him to Impel Down, where the Newkamas abducted him, leading him to be tortured for information by Ivankov.
* HateSink: There is absolutely no redeeming quality about him beyond the aforementioned Berserk Button; he started his career being an arrogant asshole, he framed Franky and Iceburg's mentor and father figure Tom for the sake of his personal ambitions rather than because of duty, he enjoys torturing and abusing prisoners under the flimsiest of pretenses, etc. Even Lassoo though it was okay to eat Spandam in revenge for what he did to Robin because he was horrible enough that he didn't count as human. In the aftermath of Enies Lobby, Sengoku's first action in trying to redeem the reputation of the Marines and the World Government was to record and publish every single detail of the punishment they were about to level on him, noting that not even Cross could call it anything but "justice."
* ItsAllAboutMe: Cross calls him a textbook example of a malignant narcissist, and he more than lives up to it, caring only about advancing his career while paying shallow lip service to his duty.
* {{Jerkass}}: All the way.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: About the only difference between father and son are a few details that are different about their appearances.
* ObviouslyEvil: He looked like a villain even before he got the leather brace after Franky broke his face with a pistol whip, has a tendency to monologue and laugh like a cut-rate villain when it seems things are going his ways, exploits any justification he can to be a sadist...they couldn't make it any more obvious that the only reason he had his position was because of his father's connections.
* SmallNameBigEgo: To the point of delusion. He doesn't understand that the assassins at his command merely tolerate him rather than respecting him, and he overstates his importance while being nothing more than their over-glorified secretary.
* UnwittingPawn: He's this to Admiral Aokiji. He didn't have a clue that he was set up against the Straw Hats in order for the Admiral to do away with his own doubts and pretend to himself that his way was right, choosing to revel instead in having the power of the Buster Call at his fingertips, without ever considering the reasons WHY it was given to him.

[[folder:The Scientists]]
!!Dr. Hogback and Dr. Indigo

One of the former CoDragons of Gecko Moria who was in charge of "outfitting" his zombie army, and TheDragon of Shiki, respectively, who have been forced into working for the World Government after the Straw Hats defeated their masters.
----
* ArchEnemy: Both of them are this to Chopper, due to their complete disregard for the medical field's code of conduct, and the feeling is mutual for Indigo, who hates Chopper for constantly upstaging him in scientific feats.
* EvilGenius: Obviously, both of them. Hogback is a master surgeon, while Indigo is a master of chemical and genetic enhancement.
* MadScientist: Both of them are this. Hogback actually gets into a rant on it.
-->'''Hogback''': I am ''not'' crazy! I am not and have never ''been'' anything less than the absolute ''picture'' of mental health! It is a legitimate fact proven, by a symposium of scientists the world over that I myself was a part of, that doctors are ''incapable'' of suffering from the pedestrian affliction recognized as 'going mad'! The word you're looking for in ''my'' field is 'medical genius'!
* PutOnABus: Both of them, like their captains, are masters of the long game; they know that the World Government can't contain them forever... but they can still contain them for a very long time.
* TrappedInVillainy: Played with. While both of them are evil already, neither of them wants to work for the World Government.

!!Ratchet
A [[Anime/TheGiantMechanicalSoldierOfKarakuriCastle former enemy of the Straw Hats]], Ratchet is now a fellow scientist developing weapons for the World Government.
----
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: He was responsible for releasing the prototype [=BioMEGA=] on Amazon Lily, and through DoubleSpeak, he mocks Hancock with this after she arrives in Impel Down. He gets literally trodden on by her and then blasted with Conqueror's Haki, and nobody nearby bothers to pretend they care in the slightest.
* EvilLaugh: ''Mekakakakaka!''
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: After the aforementioned Conqueror's Haki, nobody in the room with Hancock cares much about his state (besides that he's still alive, as they have orders to keep him that way).
* GotVolunteered: He believed that he was part of the group because he volunteered, hence his better living conditions compared to Hogback and Indigo. However, Stussy revealed that his mother volunteered him so the World Government wouldn't arrest him when his ambitions would put him against them.
* NoodleIncident: The events of Anime/TheGiantMechanicalSoldierOfKarakuriCastle have occurred in the past, although the particulars haven't been revealed. Needless to say, Ratchet holds a grudge against the Straw Hats, particularly Luffy.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Still his main goal - but the fact everyone knows about it now, plus his imprisonment/"volunteer work" for the World Government, makes his chances pretty bad.

!Impel Down

[[folder:Magellan]]
->See his entry under [[Characters/ThisBitesNewWorldMasons the Zodiac of the Damned.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hannyabal]]
!!Hannyabal
The Vice Warden of Impel Down, whose life goal is to remove the "Vice" part of that title. Smug and overconfident (and a bit of a ButtMonkey), he nevertheless is dedicated to keeping the prisoners of Impel Down inside the walls, so that none of them can threaten the outside world.
----
* ButtMonkey: He tends to be getting punched in the face by life whenever we see him.
** IronButtMonkey: It all comes to a head when he faces Luffy during the prison break and takes hit after hit as he says [[Anime/RanmaOneHalf he will fight on]], even as he is finally knocked unconscious.
* TheStarscream: He still blatantly seeks to overthrow Magellan and become the Warden, even if he's half-hearted in the declaration due to the World Government's involvement with Impel Down.
* TakenForGranite: He is, of course, turned to stone by Hancock so Luffy can sneak into Impel Down. She further uses his petrification as an excuse to buy them more time by claiming she did it because he got grabby during her search.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Domino]]
!!Domino
The Vice Head Jailer, and probably the most level-headed member of Impel Down's staff, Domino is one of the top subordinates to Magellan.
----
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Sengoku discloses the truth behind Ace's parentage and execution at the start of the War, Domino is enraged and declares it to be a matter of tyranny, not justice.
* MissExposition: Explains that Impel Down is actually a sovereign nation, not a direct agency of the World Government.
** Later on, she also explains the retrial and appeal system of Impel Down.
--> Then as I was saying, it is rare but ''possible'' for prisoners to appeal to us. If they make a sufficiently convincing case, we submit a report to issue them a retrial. [...] A process that has done nothing to help the Government's case. Nobody in living memory has ever had their case overturned… that is, until we had almost a dozen successful appeals during the last four months. A time period that just ''happens'' to be the exact length of time those very retrials have ceased being conducted upon [[HangingJudge Enies]] [[KangarooCourt Lobby]]. But even then, with any failed retrial our job has always been to assume that they're very skilled liars and punish them accordingly. And that the ''World Government'' bears incontrovertible proof of their guilt, [[PayEvilUntoEvil justifying whatever happens to them as a result]].
* PunchClockVillain: She's only doing her job of keeping criminals in Impel Down from getting out and punishing them for their crimes. She makes it clear that Impel Down's policy is "guilty until proven innocent", and would have no issue with letting people walk if their innocence has been undeniably proven.
* StealthExpert: She was able to sneak up on Vice Admiral Momonga without him noticing.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: She is furious when she discovers the truth behind Ace's execution, and calls the World Government ''demanding'' they cancel the execution immediately. The fact she's met with bored indifferent silence only infuriates her more as she vicously shouts that what they're doing is not justice, but just pure tyranny.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Saldeath]]
!!Saldeath
The head of the Blugori, whose size does not correlate to his level of authority within Impel Down's walls.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: In Impel Downfall 4, he declares the one thing that truly scares him is the idea that Sadie might start trying to flirt with him if he has a growth spurt.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Faced with the possibility that Straw Hat might actually escape Impel Down, he pleads for Luffy to agree to spare [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Magellan's]] life if he manages to defeat the warden.
* ItsPersonal: Buggy deciding to invoke TemptingFate and then turn it UpToEleven put him on Saldeath's personal "kill painfully and, if possible, ''slowly''" list.
* VillainRespect: He is impressed by Cross after listening to his ToThePain speech he gives Spandam, and claims that if he wasn't an enemy, he'd be scouting Cross for a position at Impel Down.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sadi-chan]]
!!Sadi-chan
One of the head torturers of Impel Down, and the boss of the four Demon Guards.
----
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In a twisted way, but it's clear she's broken up about the [=BioMEGAs=] putting most of the Demon Guards in the infirmary.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As she puts it...
--> Obviously, I'm not going to ''intentionally'' inflict ''mind-warping aaaagony''~ upon innocent people, mmmm~ but even you must understand how effectively a wolf can make itself look like the most innocent lamb that ever sailed the seas. We wouldn't make any attempt to stop someone who we knew to be innocent from leaving, but that kind of certainty could only come if someone had been born here.
* IGaveMyWord: After Luffy beats and later subdues Minotaurus with Conqueror's Haki, she keeps her promise that she will let the prison break party go without further incident. Mind you, she did it with the knowledge that [[AlwaysABiggerFish Magellan is the final obstacle.]]
* {{Sadist}}: It's how she got her ''name''.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She is very clearly ''not'' happy about the Marines who have been assigned to Impel Down in preparation for the upcoming war.
* VillainRespect: She too is listening to the ToThePain speech Cross gives Spandam, actually takes notes on future torturing ideas from that speech, and tells Saldeath Cross would become an executive in Impel Down in six months rather than a year as said by Saldeath.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Demon Guards]]
!!The Demon Guards
The four Awakened Zoan guards of Impel Down, some of the most dangerous fighters within its walls after the likes of Magellan and Hannyabal. Their forms are a cow, a zebra, a koala, and a rhinoceros.
----
* TheDeterminator: All of them in theory, but the Minotaurus in his duel with Luffy. Luffy has to use ''Conqueror's Haki'' to end it.
* EnemyMine: The Minotaurus, when given a chance to target either Luffy, Buggy, and Mr 3, or the [=BioMEGA=] on Level 2, completely ignores the former.
* PutOnABus: All of them but the Minotaurus were sent to the infirmary after a run-in with a [=BioMEGA=], and even their HealingFactor will apparently need weeks or even months before they are fully recovered.
