Strawberry

Vice Admiral Strawberry (ストロベリー中将) is a Marine officer, and one of the five Vice Admirals who led the Buster Call assault on Enies Lobby.

Appearance
Strawberry is a relatively straight shaped person with a long beard. He is usually seen with his eyes closed, or at least half-closed. He wears what looks like a very long bearskin version of the standard Marine uniform cap, though this is later revealed to be because his hair is that tall. Like many high-ranking Marines, he has a standard Marine's coat draped on his shoulders like a cape. Under it, and over a shirt left unbuttoned near the neck, he wears a water-green jacket, with rope-like ornaments on the chest, and matching pants.

Personality
Not much is known about Strawberry's personality except that he is an honorable man, saving everyone trapped on Enies Lobby before attacking. Presumably, he follows a moral justice, or at least a more lenient version of Absolute Justice like most Marines.

Abilities and Powers
As a Marine vice admiral, Strawberry is capable of commanding a Buster Call alongside other vice admirals. He also has authority over lower-ranking subordinates.

Weapons
Strawberry was shown holding two identical swords, with Japanese-looking hilts wrapped in a pink material. They have elongated handguards decorated by red gems, just like the rounded pommels, and blades with more of a curve than those of katanas. He wielded both of them in reverse, similar to Doma.

Haki
It was stated that all vice admirals possess Haki, so Strawberry can also use the ability. However, he has not yet been shown using it.

Past
While the Sun Pirates were wreaking havoc in the seas, Rear Admiral Strawberry reported to Vice Admiral Borsalino that Rear Admiral Kadar's ship had been sunk. Later, he led an army of soldiers to ambush Fisher Tiger on Foolshout Island.

Enies Lobby arc
After arriving with the Buster Call, Strawberry stationed his and three other battle ships at the main entrance, saving all the Marines and Government Agents on the island.

His main act during the Buster Call was to order three ships to open fire on Oimo, Kashi, the Galley-La Company shipwrights and the Franky Family. However, the attack proved to be useless, as they were later seen clinging to a net, made by Paulie on the side of the island.

Fall of the Golden Lion
Strawberry appears in the ending of One Piece Film: Strong World, along with Onigumo and Yamakaji, after the Straw Hat Pirates defeated the Golden Lion Pirates, making the flying archipelago Merveille fall in the ocean. After that, his soldiers capture what is left of the Golden Lion Pirates. He also spots the Straw Hat's ship falling from the sky.

Marineford arc
He is later seen heeding the call for troops at Marineford and standing, along with the other Vice-Admirals, against the incoming attack by Whitebeard's division commanders wielding two katana in a similar stance to Kaku's way of wielding swords. When the pirates in the bay lost their ships, Strawberry ordered the troops to open fire on them, claiming they them to be perfect targets. Later, when Luffy attempted to free Ace from his handcuffs, Strawberry gave another order to open fire on the two pirates.

When the Blackbeard Pirates arrived, he is shocked to see Marshall D. Teach's new crewmates, the prisoners from level 6 of Impel Down. He recognizes Sanjuan Wolf because of his size.

Major Battle

 * Strawberry and Marines vs. Fisher Tiger

Trivia

 * Interestingly enough, the massive vice admiral wearing the iron mask with the horns who was standing right behind Strawberry during his first appearance in the Battle of Marineford was given a sword in the anime that looked identical to the ones wielded by Strawberry, only his was larger.
