Z

"Z" is a New World pirate and the main antagonist of the One Piece Film Z. He was a Marine Admiral.

Appearance
Z appears as a big and muscular man with short purple hair and a large mechanical right arm connected to the left hip with some mast rigging. He dresses in a Marine-like coat with his Jolly Roger impressed on it and large short trousers.



His Jolly Roger has a skull with slanted eye-sockets and a spiky crown, while his cross-bones is similar to an inverted Marine symbol and a cross or sword with a Yoru-like hilt. The placement of the skull on top of the inverted "wings" give the skull the appearance of elongated tusks.

Abilities and Powers
In a trailer he is referred as being the strongest enemy that the Straw Hats have faced yet.

In the past he was a Marine Admiral. This implies that he has the ability of Haki, as it has been stated that all marines of Vice Admiral rank and above possess it.

History
For a yet unknown motive, he resigned his post as a Marine Admiral and left the organization to become a pirate.

Trivia

 * More of his characteristics, like his coat or the Jolly Roger, reveal a link with the Marines. Also, in one of the first trailers, one of the film logos that appears is the original Marine symbol.
