[50], Kuzan has been shown adept at using weaponry formed from ice, like a hand-wielded sword to clash with another swordsman. After Saul found out he was on Being a giant, he possessed almost unbeatable strength, which was, in fact, greater than that of most giants. Vice Admiral (former)[1] First being Gol D. Roger and second Shanks who gave it to Luffy. [71] Spandam decided to wait until Robin arrived at Water 7. Aokiji merely pats him on the shoulder and tells him that it is okay. Later, he met with the Straw Hat crew again and explained Z's plan to use the Dyna Stones to destroy all the three Endpoints and then release the Grande Imbuto, which would destroy the New World and everyone in it, pirates and civilians alike. He looked around the island, seeing the ruins of a large city and a small boy named Grount huddled nearby. Kuzan appears in the Nami and Marineford versions of the, His alias and other admiral aliases (Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru), are taken from, In the 3rd of the fan polls, he is ranked as the second most popular. During his time with the Marines, Aokiji was loyal to the World Government. He later helped his former instructor to protect Ain, Binz, and the Straw Hat Pirates from Borsalino's fleet attack by creating an ice wall so that Z could fight to his heart's content. Robin's limbs are very long, especially her legs, contributing greatly to both her fighting capabilities (given the nature of her powers) and overall height, and like most female characters in the series, she has a narrow waist. He stabs Luffy through his shoulder with an Ice Saber and as he is about to impale him again, Marco intervenes and shatters the spear with a single kick that knocks Aokiji away from Luffy. Having reformed himself at some point, Aokiji can only remark at the motley crew that Luffy helped gather at Impel Down for his attempt at freeing Ace from the Marines.[77]. [19] Nonetheless he was not above telling Smoker to warn Akainu about the danger Doflamingo posed to the new Marine Headquarters, showing a degree of concern for the well being of the Marines, despite disagreeing with Akainu's ideals.[20]. Though crippled, Kuzan used his Devil Fruit powers to generate a replacement limb out of ice. Kuzan is an incredibly tall, slim, yet muscular man. "Aren't you afraid of someone like me…. He then revealed to Robin that he was good friends with Saul and allowed Robin to escape Ohara because of this friendship. When the Marines learned that the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates were about to battle in the Edd War, three years before the death of the Pirate King, Saul was seen in the Marineford, walking with Garp, Kuzan, Sakazuki and Tsuru, listening to the conversation about the Hero of the Marines' efforts to arrest Gold Roger. Before Doflamingo could deliver the killing blow to Smoker, Kuzan suddenly appeared, claiming that the vice admiral was his friend. Founder Ymir Im is human-sized. He was one of the three people who influenced Nico Robin. However, if he deems a situation worthy, he will take action, as shown when he used his powers helping some shipwrecked passengers. Due to Kuzan's power, the fated conflict between him and the Straw Hats prompted Luffy to be less naive towards future conflicts;[24] for this reason Kuzan served as the starting point for Luffy to push his strength beyond his limits. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Admiral[1] (former);[3] Vice Admiral (former)[4] [21] As Aokiji left on his bike across the ocean, he noticed that the Straw Hat Pirates were heading to Water 7, which is close to the Marine Headquarters. The Straw Hats never knew about Robin's past and stand with Robin against him. This disgust dates back many years, as during the time when both were still vice admirals, Sakazuki killed innocent Ohara civilians to ensure that none of the archaeologists escaped the Buster Call, causing Kuzan to call him a fool for overdoing things. Zoro rushed in attempting to cut him only to be caught by the wrist. During the Summit War, Kuzan was seen using advanced-grade Busoshoku Haki to negate an extremely powerful quake shockwave sent out by Whitebeard, by generating, with his fellow admirals, an emitted shield combination of their three Haki.[62]. Aokiji has been a choice character in several series of merchandise. The two did manage to encounter one-another during the post-Enies Lobby celebrations, but Aokiji decided against action, and even encouraged Robin to continue sailing with the Straw Hats, remarking they are unlike any of the other crews or organizations that she joined in the past, and they truly understand the concept of "friendship". If he let Z keep his hat, he could never face Shanks or be worthy of the Pirate King title. The Five Elders were upset with Aokiji's action and remarked that he should watch his rank.[1]. In the Viz Manga and FUNimation subs, it is called the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The original order that had been sent was for all those who had not been involved with the Ohara scholars and the Poneglyph, to be safely transported off the island. [4] Olvia finally trusted him by requesting Saul to protect her daughter and evacuate her from Ohara. Official English Name: However, Olvia's hair was white instead of black. In the anime, he met them much later at a different island and showed his powers helping some shipwrecked passengers as opposed to Tonjit. Kuzan is a very laid back man, showing no shock or surprise from almost anything. The Admiral wonders if the Ox Bell ringing was some kind of message. He helped Nico Robin to escape via the use of his Devil Fruit powers, by freezing a trail in the ocean for her boat to sail safely through. As Robin left the island, she mourns for his death, along with the destruction of her home and the death of her mother. Kuzan then froze Jaguar D. Saul using his Devil Fruit powers, killing his friend. According to Smoker, the battle between these two was so ferocious that it literally changed the weather of Punk Hazard Island. He is later seen in his office in Marineford with Commodore Smoker, commenting on Luffy's return to Marineford and the ringing of the Ox Bell. [67], As part of his plot in saving Robin, Kuzan froze Spandine's ship's rudder, but regardless, Spandine saw Robin and had her marked for capture. After Ace is freed, he attacks Ace and Luffy, but Ace blocked his attack with his fire. While he was loyal to the Marines, he questioned their orders at least twice, which shows that he followed Moral Justice over the code of Absolute Justice. He froze the water with his power to create a bridge for Tonjit to cross. This is all rarely accompanied by a matching white suit jacket. Later, when Luffy leaps over the siege wall, with a large piece of broken mast in hand, Aokiji comments on how, despite how far he has come, that Luffy was still not ready to "play with the big boys". Jaguar D. Saul He froze his former friend Jaguar D. Saul to death during the Ohara Incident following this reasoning. He chose not to arrest or kill Luffy because the young pirate had defeated Crocodile beforehand, thus saving Alabasta from the latter's malevolence. Saul lifting a Marine battleship at Ohara. While he follows Lazy Justice, he does understand the position his ranking puts him in and does not hesitate to do what is necessary for the needs of the Marines, even if reluctantly. Height: [47], Kuzan has eaten from the Hie Hie no Mi, a Logia-class Devil Fruit[48] whose power lets him become ice, create and control said element in vast quantities, and by extension bestows him great resistance to the very cold he brings on. Akainu chides Aokiji for his ice being the problem, with Kizaru chiming in for the latter to just melt his ice. ), the "I" typical for older men but the "I" more frequently used by younger men and teens, the rather rough "Ore" (俺, "Ore"? The two became friends and Robin continued to visit him for the following four days, while he built his raft. [19], Otherwise, Kuzan is shown to have enough navigation skill to be able to traverse the Grand Line seas using a simple bicycle (assisted by his ice powers to create a track by which to cycle on the water). [74] He witnessed the Straw Hats' new ship, the Thousand Sunny, leaping into the air to escape and, seemingly impressed by it, smiled. Joy Boy is probably the one that had the giant straw hat. [63], Even though he joined the Marines, Kuzan stated that he never held the World Government in high esteem to begin with. However, later, he seemed to retain some concern for her well-being, as he was relieved to see her finally find a place to belong with the Straw Hat Pirates. Logia, Kuzan,[4][8] better known by his former epithet Aokiji, is a former Marine admiral and the first one to be revealed. Further attesting to his skills as a leader, plus his charisma, is the support Kuzan enjoyed from among subordinate ranks to become the next fleet admiral following the Summit War, as well as having Sengoku himself personally select him to be his successor (as opposed to Akainu's backing coming mainly from governmental dignitaries). [10] He was also seen wearing a green and purple sleep mask at all times two years ago from the present timeline. [10], When Whitebeard's forces arrived and their captain used his Gura Gura no Mi powers to create two massive tidal waves, Aokiji freezes them both with Ice Age, then attacks Whitebeard with his Partisan. Also, his hair was curlier compared to his current hairstyle. He saw the giants of Elbaf to be somewhat barbaric, and did not follow their traditions of fighting to the death. Kuzan He told Z he used to drink that because of him, looking up to him. [13], Sengoku seems to trust and respect Kuzan well enough to lead the Marines since he nominated him to be fleet admiral.[9]. He enjoyed seeing others laugh and have fun, as shown when he encouraged Robin to laugh. When he was asked by a Marine over the Den Den Mushi whether they should continue to pursue the Straw Hats, Aokiji declined, noting the Marines suffered heavy casualties already, calling their battle "a complete defeat". It was later stated by Spandam (though never shown) that Aokiji also gave him the Golden Den Den Mushi at this time in order summon a Buster Call. Standing in front of Tonjit's house, he slept. The Warlord freed himself from the ice and walked away with Buffalo and Baby 5, having no interest in fighting Kuzan. Aokiji decided to test the Straw Hat Pirates by saying that everyone around Robin got wiped out with her being the only person left standing, referring to the actual situation that happened to Robin's mother. That number can be explanied with the first two digits taken from Luffy's birthday, May 05; and the latter two, 5-6, being pronounced go-mu which is related to Luffy's devil fruit. Even though Sengoku supported Aokiji as a candidate for the next fleet admiral, many of the upper brass of the World Government nominated Akainu. He also non-canonically helped the Straw Hat Pirates by giving them information about former admiral Z’s plans to destroy the New World. [65], Kuzan was revealed to have been at least indirectly involved in the incident at Ohara that prompted the Marines to put a bounty on Nico Robin's head. Aokiji woke up and began to make excuses that he wanted to inspect something. Height: Affiliations: At that time, Vice Admiral Kuzan appeared to have been responsible for the deployment of CP9 in pursuit of the "criminal" archaeologists of Ohara.[4]. He pondered to himself if pirates were made from the One Piece existing, or if the One Piece existed because of the pirates. By agreeing to a one-on-one fight with Luffy, he could not attack his crew. Age at Death: The lack of answers prompted him to question Olvia about her work and in disdain for the World Government's cruelty defected by releasing her. His lack of interest and "Lazy Justice" (だらけきった正義, Darakekitta Seigi? He told them that Z planned to destroy piracy by destroying the One Piece. Romanized Name: They have been indexed as Male Adult with Black eyes and Orange hair that is To Neck length. He merely said he got carried away, when explaining this. Occupations: Before her departure, he warned her that he is not her ally despite this one assistance, and would be quick to come after her, if he ever felt that she was a threat. [21] They were also talking together in his office about Smoker's transfer to G-5. The truth is Robin only ran away from people who tried to kill her or turn her in. The Endpoints had been considered a legend, with most thinking it was nonsense. Kuzan's alias, "Aokiji", means "Blue Pheasant" in Japanese. Similar to many of his colleagues (for example, Jaguar D. Saul and Smoker), after witnessing the senseless massacre of innocent people, Aokiji may have come to realize the depths to which the World Government will sink to fulfill their agendas. Her hair was also longer and slightly curly, and in the anime, she had a lighter skin tone. In the manga originally, Aokiji met the Straw Hat Pirates at Tonjit's hut after the Davy Back Fight. This devil fruit has one of the highest offensive powers in the series. [3], After leaving the Marines, Kuzan met a large penguin named Camel and the two of them became traveling companions. Kuzan then gave the crew an Eternal Pose leading to Piriodo. She is the seventh member of the crew, the sixth to join, and, like Nami and Usopp, is the second to rejoin, doing so near the end of the Enies Lobby Arc. Her eyes are blue with dark, wide pupils, has a long, thin and defined nose, and, like most females in the series, she has large breasts. Kuzan has neither confirmed nor denied these suspicions.[79]. Robin's life on the run since the tender age of 8 has taught her the ways of survival and self-preservation, and has earned herself notoriety for being able to evade inescapable situations. Kuzan A one-on-one duel between the two saw them meeting one another blow for blow through most of it, such that it took ten entire days to settle; though Akainu was the one to emerge victorious, both men sustained grievous injuries.
