Vice Admiral

Vice Admiral (中将) is the third highest post in the Marines. A vice admiral is typically senior to a rear admiral and junior to an admiral. They are known for their strength. It is currently the rank with the most representatives seen in the series besides common, unnamed grunt soldiers.

Duties
Vice admirals can have varying duties and amounts of authority. For example, one vice admiral, John Giant, is seen to have some special authority, as he was the first in the entire Marine Headquarters to receive the report of the Buster Call and could also evidently command other vice admirals to dispatch. At least eleven of them (John Giant, Momonga, Komir, Onigumo, Doberman, Strawberry, Tsuru, Lacroix, Ronse, Yamakaji and Dalmatian) are known to be stationed at the Marine Headquarters. There are always at least five vice admirals sent with a Buster Call fleet.

The general attire of a vice admiral is that of a Marine coat with epaulets and a suit and tie worn below. The only vice admiral to wear an attire different from others is, again, John Giant, who wears a gold and red uniform with a strain of medals on his chest. While most vice admirals wear standard blue epaulets, Garp wears black and red, while Tsuru wears gold.

It would seem that most vice admirals are swordsmen and several have been shown using Rokushiki. Many Giants who are shown to be Marines are Vice Admirals, a testament of their immense strength. Another attribute that is common among Vice Admirals is that they all know Haki, though almost none have been shown using it in obvious ways yet.
