Ryokugyu

Ryokugyu is the alias of an admiral in the Marines. Ryokugyu was briefly mentioned by Doflamingo while talking to Fujitora, calling the two of them "Beasts". Ryokugyu's real name, age, and gender are currently unknown.

Appearance
Ryokugyu's first appearance was in silhouette, with their face completely obscured, and their exact gender difficult to determine. The only distinguishable feature of the Admiral is that he is an individual with curled, wavy hair and appear to wear a Marine coat like Borsalino and Issho, and given the lack of accuracy with the initial silhouettes given with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, even those details should be taken with a grain of salt.

As Ryokugyu has not appeared in the storyline yet, the full extent of Ryokugyu's current appearance is unknown.

Abilities and Powers
Not much is known about Ryokugyu's abilities, but as a Marine Admiral, Ryokugyu must have at least above-average leadership and coordination skills, and has power over thousands of lower ranked Marines. As an Admiral, Ryokugyu has the authority to enact a Buster Call on any island deemed dangerous, and may pass this ability to a lower ranking World Government agent.

Ryokugyu and Fujitora were stated by Doflamingo to be "true beasts in terms of power".

Haki
It was stated that all Marines ranked vice admiral or higher possess Haki, so as a higher ranked officer as well as a Marine Admiral, Ryokugyu can also use the ability.

Past
Not much is known about Ryokugyu's past, but sometime during the two years the Straw Hats were separated, Ryokugyu became an admiral.

Trivia
