World Government (One Piece)

(Redirected from Coby (One Piece))

The World Government (Japanese: 世界政府, Hepburn: Sekai Seifu) is a fictional global empire that rules over the world of One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. The World Government is affiliated with over 170 nations from around the world[ch. 398] and is led by Nerona Imu. Its greatest enemies are pirates, such as the Straw Hats, and the Revolutionary Army, who unlike most pirates directly oppose the Government.

Eight centuries after its foundation by a group of twenty kings known as the First 20 (最初の20人, Sekai Seifu),[ch. 497] their descendants, the Celestial Dragons, live luxurious lives and abuse their power.[ch. 498] The capital of the World Government is the Holy Land of Marijoa (マリージョア, Marījoa; Mary Geoise) and its governing headquarters is Pangaea Castle (パンゲア城, Pangea-jō) where there is an Empty Throne (虚の玉座, Kara no Gyokuza) said to symbolize that not a single person from any of the twenty families of Celestial Dragons can rule the world, but in actuality used by Imu.[ch. 396][ch. 763][ch. 907][ch. 908]

The top leaders of the Government such as Imu, the Five Elders, the Holy Knights of God, and the commander-in-chief Kong reside and govern from Mary Geoise, which is also the jurisdiction of the Holy Knights of God,[ch. 1054] and the home of the Celestial Dragons. Every four years, the royals of nations that are members of the Government assemble in Pangaea Castle to host the Reverie (世界会議, Reverī; Levely).[ch. 906]

The World Government initially controls two of the three types of great powers in One Piece: the Marines, described as the public face of the government, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, allied privateers who hunt other pirates. The Government also includes other military forces such as the ten Cipher Pol intelligence agencies. Two years after the story begins, the Seven Warlords are abolished and replaced with clones made from their Bloodline Elements (血統因子, Kettō Inshi; Lineage Factor), as the World Government begins to more aggressively confront the strongest pirates known as the Four Emperors of the Sea as well as the Revolutionary Army.

Celestial Dragons

edit

The World Nobles (世界貴族, Sekai Kizoku), also known as the Celestial Dragons (天竜人, Tenryūbito; lit. "Heavenly Dragon Folk"), are a group of aristocratic elites that make up nineteen bloodlines residing in Marijoa[ch. 142] and are descendants of the First 20 with the exception of the Nefertari family. However, due to their connection to the World Government, they constantly abuse their power and despise the people below them (referring to them as "commoners") to the point of wearing enclosed helmets with supplied oxygen so as not to breathe the same air as them.[ch. 499]

First Twenty

edit

St. Nerona Imu

edit
St. Nerona Imu is the King of the World and creator of the World Government.

St. Nerona Imu (ネロナ・イム聖, Nerona Imu Sei) is the King of the World and creator of the World Government.[ch. 1179] He is the secret, shadowy leader of the world who occupies the Empty Throne of Pangaea Castle at Mary Geoise; he was one of the monarchs in the First Twenty, choosing to embrace anonymity by withholding their surname. He is a devil-like man with pale hair, dark skin and horns, who wields a giant serpent spear called Nemesis.[ch. 1179] His existence is kept secret from the world and much within the Government that if anyone witnesses his existence, they are assassinated.[ch. 908][ch. 1085] Imu is shown to be extremely sadistic and cruel, casually destroying the kingdom of Lulusia solely due to their proximity to a weapon of mass destruction, as well as unsuccessfully forcing giant children to fall to their deaths to torment their families, amongst an unspecified but great amount of crimes against humanity.[ch. 1086] Imu holds an intense hatred towards those who bear the "Will of D", in addition to Joy Boy, an adversary whose defeat by Imu led to the spread of Poneglyphs among a series of failures.

Imu ate a Devil Fruit that is aptly named Devil's Fruit, which gives him the ability to transform into an enormous devil. In his devil form, Imu is immortal and can generate fire, generate an Abyss which allows instantaneous transportation from one place to another, heal others, create arrowhead-shaped appendages, and transform others into demons. Imu is able to wield both Conquerer's Haki and Observation Haki, and most likely can use Armament Haki.[ch. 1179] He can also create and shoot explosive orbs called Omen. [ch. 1180]

Nefertari D. Lili

edit

Nefertari D. Lili (ネフェルタリ・D・リリィ, Neferutari Dī Rirī) was the Queen of the Kingdom of Alabasta 800 years ago and one of the First Twenty monarchs who created the World Government. Alone out of the 20 founding families, she chose not to move to Mary Geoise but to return to Alabasta. However, she never returned home and her younger brother succeeded her as the ruler of Alabasta. Imu said Lili was responsible for spreading the Poneglyphs detailing the Void Century across the world.[ch. 1084][ch. 1085]

They and the rest of the World Government even pay no mind to the atrocities against countries affiliated with them committed by two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile and Donflamingo. While they are publicly the heads of the World Government, in reality, however, the only person they secretly answer to is Imu with extreme loyalty.[ch. 907] The Five Elders can make use of a magical transformation circle ability called Abyss.

The Marines[a] (海軍, Kaigun; Marines), translated as the "Navy" in the English translations of the manga and the 4Kids English dub of the anime,[b] are a maritime force under the command of the World Government. Currently the position of fleet admiral, who is the leader of the organization, is occupied by Akainu. The greatest forces are the three admirals, who are currently Kizaru, Fujitora, and Ryokugyu. The corrupted Captain Ax-Hand Morgan (father of Helmeppo) was the first high-ranking officer of the Marines depicted in the series until he was stripped of his status when he was defeated by Luffy.

Fleet Admiral

edit

The Fleet Admiral is the highest rank in the Marines. Aside from Kong, the following are known fleet admirals:

Sakazuki

edit

Sakazuki (サカズキ), better known as Admiral Akainu (赤犬; lit. "Red Dog"), is a ruthless Marine officer with the ability of the Logia-type Mag-Mag Fruit (マグマグの実, Magu Magu no Mi), which allows him to control, create, and transform into magma.[ch. 397, 573, 610] Akainu is a firm believer in "Absolute Justice," going as far as eliminating an entire population should an enemy be hidden there. This was first shown when the World Government eradicated Nico Robin's island of Ohara. Akainu destroyed a refugee evacuation ship simply due to the possibility of even one scholar sneaking on board; his logic was that if even one of the scholars of Ohara had escaped with it, the mission would've been a failure, much to the dismay of Aokiji, who called him a fool for overdoing things.[ch. 397] After Sengoku retires, Akainu wins the position of fleet admiral in a duel against Aokiji after ten days of fighting in Punk Hazard.[ch. 650] His appearance is modeled after Bunta Sugawara.[ch. 558]

He is voiced at first by Michio Nakao in the earlier parts of the original Japanese version and later by Fumihiko Tachiki in the later parts of the original Japanese version.[2][3] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Andrew Love.[4]

Sengoku

edit

"Sengoku the Buddha" (仏のセンゴク, Hotoke no Sengoku) is a Marine officer and contemporary of Gold Roger who eventually rises to the rank of fleet admiral.[ch. 234, 434][c] The ability of the Mystical Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit: Model Buddha (ヒトヒトの実 モデル:大仏, Hito Hito no Mi, Moderu: Daibutsu) allows Sengoku to transform into a daibutsu or a daibutsu-human hybrid.[ch. 585] Sengoku is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki. Following the Paramount War, he retires from the service and, against his recommendation to promote Aokiji, is succeeded by Akainu.[ch. 650] Although retired from active duty, Sengoku continues to serve in the Marines as an inspector general. Two years after the war, he is shown to have mellowed rather considerably due to his lack of responsibilities.

In the Japanese anime television series, he is initially voiced by Takkō Ishimori, later by Tōru Ōkawa.[5] In the Funimation English adaptation, he is initially voiced by Ed Blaylock and later by Philip Weber.[6]

Admirals

edit

The Admirals are the second highest rank in the Marines. At the beginning of the series, the group of the three Admirals consisted of Sakazuki (Akainu), Borsalino (Kizaru) and Kuzan (Aokiji). After the two-year timeskip, following Sakazuki's promotion and Kuzan's resignation, the group consists of Borsalino, Issho (Fujitora) and Aramaki (Ryokugyū).

Borsalino

edit

Borsalino (ボルサリーノ, Borusarīno), better known as Admiral Kizaru (黄猿; lit. "Yellow Monkey"), is an easygoing marine officer with the power of the Logia-type Glint-Glint Fruit (ピカピカの実, Pika Pika no Mi), which allows him to generate, control, or become light as well as fire destructive beams.[ch. 507, 511] Despite his unusually calm and laidback demeanor often leading to absent-mindedness (asking pirates for Sentomaru's direction), he is a highly competent and unforgiving fighter.[ch. 507] He is depicted as being conflicted in his missions, befriending Vegapunk whom he had been ordered to arrest for 26 years; his killing of Vegapunk would traumatize him to the point he uncharacteristically lashed out at Sakazuki and caused him to sincerely apologize.[ch. 1124]

The character's appearance is modeled after Kunie Tanaka.[ch. 558] Originally voiced by Unshō Ishizuka until 2018, he was replaced by Ryōtarō Okiayu following Ishizuka's death.[7][8] In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Ray Hurd.[9]

Issho

edit

Issho (イッショウ, Isshō), better known as Admiral Fujitora (藤虎; lit. "Purple Tiger"), is one of the Marine admirals who joined during the timeskip. He has the ability to control gravity through the powers of the Press-Press Fruit, being able to make the environment heavier or lighter. Having blinded himself due to the trauma of numerous atrocities prior to his career in the Marines, he uses Color of Observation Haki to feel what is around him.[ch. 799]

He wanted to end the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, which is why in Dressrosa he had a conflict against Donquixote Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law, where he later had to team up with the latter and the Straw Hat Crew to stop Doflamingo's corruption. Despite orders to arrest him, a fight with Luffy made him gain immense respect for the pirate, willfully permitting the Straw Hats' escape to Sengoku's chagrin.[ch. 799]

His character appearance is modeled after Shintaro Katsu. In the original Japanese version of the anime, he is voiced by Ikuya Sawaki. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Charles C. Campbell.

Aramaki

edit

Aramaki (アラマキ), better known as Admiral Ryokugyū (緑牛; lit. "Green Bull"), is the second of the two admirals appointed to their rank during the two-year timeskip, next to Fujitora. He ate the Forest-Forest Fruit, a Devil Fruit power that allows him to generate, control, or become plant life like a forest, trees, and flowers, as well as manipulation of all plant life [ch. 1054], whether on a small or massive scale, with vegetation growing wherever he treads. Inter alia, Ryokugyu can summon roots to impale people and objects and then drain them of their moisture and nutrients,[ch. 1053] which has allowed him to go three years without eating anything the conventional way.[ch. 905] While easygoing much like former Admiral Aokiji, Ryokugyu appears to be a supporter of Akainu's brand of Absolute Justice, but he is more prone to destroying those who do not side with his brand of "justice", especially when it comes to the World Government authority, unlike Sakazuki [ch. 1054]. So, thus the is venturing to Wano to try to bring down Luffy to get his superior's approval.[ch. 1053] Ryokugyu's appearance seems modeled after Japanese actor Yoshio Harada.

Ryokugyu is voiced by Jun'ichi Suwabe[d] in the Japanese version of the anime. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Matthew David Rudd.

Vice-Admirals

edit

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

Monkey D. Garp

edit

Monkey D. Garp (モンキー・D・ガープ, Monkī Dī Gāpu), nicknamed Garp the "Fist" (ゲンコツのガープ, Genkotsu no Gāpu) and "Hero of the Marines" (海軍の英雄, Kaigun no Eiyū), is a vice-admiral, Monkey D. Dragon's father and Luffy's grandfather.[ch. 432] He is famous for cornering Gold Roger[ch. 431] and considered a hero of the Marines.[ch. 432] After Roger's execution, he took care of Roger's son Ace and raised him like his own grandson.[ch. 551] He has superhuman strength, enough to lift and throw cannonballs like baseball pitches.[ch. 438] Garp takes both Koby and Helmeppo under his wing.

At the end of the war with Whitebeard, Garp retires from the front line and decides to train the next generation of Marines. He is imprisoned on Fullalead by Blackbeard after saving Koby on the island.

Garp is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki and can use the advanced application for both Haoshoku and Busoshoku Haki.[ch. 1080]

In the live-action series, Garp is portrayed by Vincent Regan.[12]

Smoker

edit

"White Chase" Smoker (白猟のスモーカー, Hakuryō no Sumōkā) is a marine officer and cigar enthusiast, keeping plenty of cigars strapped to the left side of his jacket while smoking two lit ones.[ch. 98] Smoker ate the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit (モクモクの実, Moku Moku no Mi) allows him to manipulate, create, and transform into smoke.[ch. 100] His weapon is a jutte tipped with sea-prism stone. Upon seeing Luffy smile before miraculously surviving his execution in Loguetown, Smoker came to believe that he is a potential threat, since his attitude during his near demise, mirrored that of Gold Roger when he was executed, Smoker became more confused when Dragon stopped him from killing Luffy. Befuddled by these events, Smoker followed Luffy to the Grand Line and became obsessed with capturing him, to a near stalker like level, which only intensifies upon discovering Luffy is Dragon's son during the Paramount War. Smoker is a mentor of Tashigi since the Straw Hats arrived at Loguetown.

Two years after the Paramount War, he is promoted to the rank of vice-admiral.[ch. 169] Smoker unwillingly allied with the Straw Hats and the Heart Pirates on Punk Hazard due to Trafalgar Law's interference, assisting in the defeat of Caesar Clown.[ch. 655]

In the Japanese anime series, he is voiced originally by Ginzō Matsuo, later by Mahito Ōba.[13][14] In the 4Kids English adaptation, referred to as "Chaser the Smoke Hunter", he is voiced by Rusell Velazquez.[15] In the Funimation English adaptation, where he is called Smoker the "White Hunter", his voice is supplied by Greg Dulcie.[16] In the live-action series, Smoker is portrayed by Callum Kerr.[17]

As a result, he spends about ten hours per day in the bathroom relieving himself.[ch. 528] Following the mass prison break caused by Luffy and Blackbeard, Magellan was demoted to Vice Chief Warden. Magellan is voiced by Mitsuaki Hoshino in the original Japanese version and by Jeremy Inman in the Funimation dub.

Marineford

edit

Marineford (マリンフォード, Marinfādo) was one of the three strongholds of the World Government and served as Marine Headquarters. After the Summit War of Marineford destroyed the island, the new Fleet Admiral Sakazuki switched Marine HQ with Marine Base G-1 in the New World, which became New Marineford. The island of Marineford was restored and converted to the new G-1.

Punk Hazard

edit

Punk Hazard (パンクハザード島, Panku Hazādo-tō) is an island which is half hot and half cold, because Sakazuki and Kuzan fought there for the post of fleet admiral. Dr. Vegapunk once had a laboratory here. After Sakazuki and Kuzan's battle, Caesar Clown took control of the abandoned laboratory.

Egghead

edit

Egghead (エッグヘッド, Egguheddo) is a Winter Island where Dr. Vegapunk resides and works. He developed the island into a futuristic island and has a tropical setting due to Dr. Vegapunk's Island A.C. unit. Egghead's factory level is called the Fabriophase, and contains a futuristic city and the Labophase laboratory. Egghead was later ravaged by a Buster Call during the Marines' invasion.

Dr. Vegapunk

edit

Dr. Vegapunk (ベガパンク, Begapanku) is a scientist who is immersed in his work. While originally the director of MADS (which also consisted of Buckingham Stussy, Caesar Clown, Queen, and Vinsmoke Judge) before the group was arrested, Vegapunk was brought into the Marines as its head scientist.

Vegapunk originally had an enlarged head the size of a giant as a side effect of eating the Brain-Brain Fruit, which enabled him to absorb and store information. He would later split his brain and place them into his Punk Records. Vegapunk later created some satellites who assist in his research like the Seraphim Project.

At some point in the past, he had an encounter with Professor Clou D. Clover and learned about the people who had D in their name. Four years later, Vegapunk was saddened when Clover was killed in the destruction of Ohara. Around the time Egghead was constructed, he became good friends with Borsalino, Bartholomew Kuma, his adoptive daughter Jewelry Bonney and Sentomaru. Vegapunk gradually turned Kuma into a mindless cyborg in exchange for Bonney's medical treatment. Unbeknownst to the World Government, he had tampered with this experiment for the duo's benefit.

Vegapunk is first seen on Egghead when the Straw Hat Crew briefly visit the island. It was through him that they learned the true name of Monkey D. Luffy's Devil Fruit. Vegapunk is killed in the Marines' subsequent attack on Egghead. A clone of Vegapunk is brought to Elbaph as part of a contingency plan.

Dr. Vegapunk is voiced by Yoshito Yasuhara in episode 610 in the original Japanese version and Yōhei Tadano in later episodes of the original Japanese version. In the Crunchyroll dub, he is voiced by Kent Williams.

Dr. Vegapunk created six satellites as artificial creations that represent aspects of his personality: Shaka, Lilith, Edison, Pythagoras, Atlas, and York.

Shaka
edit

Punk-01 is Shaka (シャカ), a man in a futuristic metal helmet who represents Vegapunk's goodness, making him the reasonable of Vegapunk's satellites. While trying to save Vegapunk, Shaka was shot in the head by York. Shaka's consciousness later inhabited Edison's body. Shaka is voiced by Shūhei Sakaguchi in the original Japanese version and by Markus Lloyd in the Crunchyroll dub.

Lilith
edit

Punk-02 is Lilith (リリス, Ririsu), a young woman who represents Vegapunk's evil. Lilith operates a giant mecha called the Vegaforce-01 and has power over the Sea Beast Weapons that she created. Lilith plans to resurrect the clone of Vegapunk upon building a laboratory with the necessary equipment as well as find a way to restore Bartholomew Kuma's mind. After finding an ancient factory on Elbaph, Lilith plans to make it her base of operations. Lilith is voiced by Aya Hirano in the original Japanese version and by Madeleine Morris in the Crunchyroll dub.

Edison
edit

Punk-03 is Edison (エジソン, Ejison), a child-sized mechanical creature who represents Vegapunk's thinking and wears a jet pack. During the Marines' attack on Egghead, Edison died from the injuries he sustained after previously passing through the Frontier Dome. Edison survived with the consciousness of his fallen satellite companions now inhabiting his body as he desynchronizes from the Punk Records to make York and the Marines think that he is dead. After using the machine that produces floating Island Clouds from the Cloud Factory to lift the Punk Records far from the reach of the Marines, Edison makes himself a new body with the parts of his fellow satellites. Edison is voiced by Ryoko Shiraishi in the original Japanese version and by Lindsay Seidel in the Crunchyroll dub.

Pythagoras
edit

Punk-04 is Pythagoras (ピタゴラス, Pitagorasu), a large mechanical creature with a detachable head who represents Vegapunk's wisdom. He was later destroyed by S-Snake, with his consciousness inhabiting Edison's body. Pythagoras is voiced by Tokuyoshi Kawashima in the original Japanese version and by Aaron Dismuke in the Crunchyroll dub.

Atlas
edit

Punk-05 is Atlas (アトラス, Atorasu), a large mechanical girl with drooping ears and a fuzzy tail who represents Vegapunk's violence. Atlas was responsible for being behind the creation of a cooking machine that can use an unknown substance to make a variety of food, lifelike holograms, and jetpacks. After knocking out Lilith to keep York from finding her, Atlas sacrificed herself to allow the Straw Hat Crew to get away from St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro and exploded afterwards. Atlas' conscious later inhabited Edison's body. Atlas is voiced by Kaede Hondo in the original Japanese version and by Jad Saxton in the Crunchyroll dub.

York
edit

Punk-06 is York (ヨーク, Yōku), a long-haired young woman who represents Vegapunk's greed. She conspires to abduct Vegapunk and become the only Vegapunk in the world. York is voiced by Mutsumi Tamura in the original Japanese version and by Robin Clayton in the Crunchyroll dub.

Sentomaru

edit

Sentomaru (戦桃丸, Sentōmaru) is a large man with a sumo wrestler-like build who was in command of the Marines' Science Unit and the bodyguard of Dr. Vegapunk ever since he was saved by him in his youth. In addition, he is shown to have control over the Pacifista units. Following the time skip, Sentomaru became a full-fledged Marine officer.

During the events at Egghead, Sentomaru helped out the Straw Hat Crew in their mission to rescue Vegapunk from York out of loyalty to Vegapunk. He was briefly captured by the Marines. After the Straw Hat Crew escape from Egghead, Sentomaru escapes from the Marines' custody and leaves Egghead on a rowboat.

Sentomaru is voiced by Kazue Ikura in the original Japanese version and by Greg Ayres in the Funimation dub.

Seven Warlords of the Sea

edit

The Seven Warlords of the Sea (七武海, Shichibukai), the full title being The Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea (王下七武海, Ōka Shichibukai), was a group of seven powerful pirates who are granted legal leniency to do as they please by the World Government and have their bounties void in exchange for a fraction of their loot and defeating weaker pirates, who deride them for selling out.[ch. 69,342] The Seven Warlords are loosely based on the European privateers, government-endorsed pirates considered heroes in their homeland and pillagers in others.[ch. 260]

At the beginning of the series, the group's members are Dracule Mihawk, Sir Crocodile, Donquixote Doflamingo, Bartholomew Kuma, Gecko Moria, Boa Hancock, and Jimbei.[ch. 69, 113, 234, 455, 516][39] In the past another member was Hanafuda, who was replaced by Kuma.[vol. 111:SBS] Following the exposure of Baroque Works, Crocodile is replaced by Blackbeard, who soon leaves the group, along with Jimbei, who resigns to side with Whitebeard against the World Government, and Moria, who is discarded by the World Government and narrowly escapes an assassination attempt.[ch. 474, 557, 576, 581, 595][39]

The three open spots are eventually filled during the timeskip by Trafalgar Law, Buggy the Clown,[ch. 700] and Edward Weevil.[ch. 802][39] After Law and Doflamingo's actions in Dressrosa are exposed, they both are removed by the World Government. Later during the Reverie, under the direction of Nefertari Cobra and Riku Dold III, the member nations vote to abolish the Warlords and the remaining members are stripped of their positions and legal status outside of Kuma.[ch. 956]

Seraphim

edit

The Seraphim (セラフィム, Serafimu) are Pacifistas created by Dr. Vegapunk for the Marines. Each of them is a cyborg clone of a known member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who resemble their child appearances, spliced with King's Lunarian Lineage Factor that grants them Lunarian abilities, and have the Green Blood which enables them to copy the powers of a Devil Fruit. When CP0 infiltrated Egghead, they took control of the Seraphim to target their creator and his satellites. York later took over the Seraphim after capturing Vegapunk and the CP0 agents.[40]

The currently named Seraphim are:

  • S-Snake (S-スネーク, Esu-Sunēku): A Seraphim clone of Boa Hancock whose Green Blood enables her to copy the abilities of the Love-Love Fruit that Boa Hancock wields. S-Snake is voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi in the original Japanese version and by Lindsay Sheppard in the Crunchyroll dub.
  • S-Hawk (S-ホーク, Esu-Hōku): A Seraphim clone of Dracule Mihawk whose Green Blood enables him to copy the abilities of the Dice-Dice Fruit that Daz Bonez wields. S-Hawk is voiced by Ryōhei Arai in the original Japanese version and by Eduardo Vildasol in the Crunchyroll dub.
  • S-Bear (S-ベア, Esu-Bea): A Seraphim clone of Bartholomew Kuma whose Green Blood enables him to copy the abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit that Bartholomew Kuma wields. S-Bear is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto in the original Japanese version and by Corey Wilder in the Crunchyroll dub.
