Commodore

"Commodore" (Junsho) is a military rank used in some navies for officers whose position exceeds that of a Captain, but is less than that of an admiral. It is sometimes abbreviated as Cdre or COMO.

In One Piece a Commodore is the highest known rank bellow Vice Admiral, though logically it should be also junior to that of a Rear Admiral, yet no officer, bearing this rank has been seen in One Piece to date.

The Rank is one being the least used in One Piece, being shown only twice so far. Its first representative, Purin-Purin, was, however, killed only a few panels after his appearance and the second holder, Smoker, was promoted to that rank during the course of the series (and also obtained it for a deed he did not do, yet he resisted this promotion as far as possible).

List of Commodores:


 * Purin-Purin


 * Smoker

Note: One could point out that it was used thrice in the anime, yet the filler arc presented a marine, Commodore Nelson, having the rank of "teitoku", which translates to commodore, but witch is not present in Oda's manga.
