An unnamed judge (先代の裁判長) was the head of the Judicial ship that sailed to Water 7. He first appeared in Chapter 353 and Episode 248.

He judged Tom twice: first sentencing him to death in Enies Lobby for building Gol D. Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson, but pardoned him after hearing Tom's plan with the sea train, thus allowing him to build it. After fourteen years, he returned to Water 7 and was positively fascinated with the sea train, planning to pardon Tom permanently. However, his ship was attacked on the orders of Spandam, then leader of CP5 , using Franky's battleships, and afterwards made Tom and his apprentices responsible for the crime. The judge pardoned Tom for the original offense, but sentenced him and his apprentices for what Spandam had done. At the last moment, Tom managed to bargain that the building of the sea train may pardon the crime committed that day instead, and confessed to aiding Gol D. Roger, hoping to save Franky and Iceburg from death. The judge agreed, and Tom was taken away by CP5 on the Sea Train he built.
