Bastille

"Shark Cutter Bastille" is a giant and a Marine vice admiral.

Appearance


Bastille is the shortest giant vice admiral that doesn't seem to be part of the Giant Squad. He wears a gray metal mask with numerous eye-holes and two horns. His long orange hair falls to the front of his chest and the rest of his hair can be seen going down his back.

Personality
As a Marine, he likely holds a strong belief in justice. Whether he believes in moral justice or absolute justice, however, is not known as of yet.

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

As a giant, he has a very high strength.

Weapons
In the manga, Bastille is not shown to carry any sort of weapon, but in the anime, Bastille carries a large sword with a Japanese hilt wrapped in a pink material, similar to Vice Admiral Strawberry's. It has an elongated hand-guard decorated by a red jewel, like the pommels, and a blade with a rounder curve than those of katanas. However, he has not been seen using it.

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

Marineford Arc
When the execution of Portgas D. Ace was announced, Bastille reported to the summoning of the Marines to reinforce Marineford. Later, he was seen with his fellow vice admirals lined up and ready to fight the Whitebeard Pirates.

When the Blackbeard Pirates arrived, Bastille is seen behind Strawberry, shocked to see Marshall D. Teach's new crewmates, the prisoners from level 6 of Impel Down.

After Shanks arrived and called for a ceasefire, Bastille is seen standing down along with the other Marines.

Dressrosa Arc
Bastille is with a large assembly of Marines outside Corrida Colosseum, waiting to ambush and arrest criminals as they leave. He was confused as to why none of the losers from blocks A and B had left yet. When a soldier tells him that Vice Admiral Maynard is undercover as a fighter inside but cannot be contacted, Bastille criticizes the junior vice admiral for acting on his own, and concludes something strange is probably going on in the colosseum.
