Fleet Admiral

Fleet Admiral (元帥) is the highest marine rank, and is the commander of the entire organization. It is just above Admiral but below the World Government Commander-in-Chief and the Gorosei.

Duties
The Fleet Admiral and the three Admirals are the only ones within the Marines capable of legally initiating a Buster Call, as well as granting World Government agents or lower ranking Marines the right to do so.

History
The only Fleet Admirals seen so far in the series are Kong from 27 years ago, who was eventually promoted to the rank of World Government Commander-in-Chief, and Sengoku, who was Fleet Admiral until he resigned from his post three weeks after the Battle of Marineford. Sengoku suggested to Kong that Admiral Aokiji be his successor as Fleet Admiral, but the World Government suggested Akainu, which led to a duel between the two Admirals. Finally, after ten days, Akainu managed to defeat Aokiji and therefore became the new Fleet Admiral.
