Lacroix

Vice-Admiral Lacroix is one of the Vice-Admirals stationed at Marine Headquarters. He has made several small appearances throughout the series, but was never referred to by name until chapter 555. He is a swordsman with a very prominent mustache.

Appearance
Lacroix looks similar to Vice-Admiral Momonga: he uses a sword, is mustached, has of average height and is well built. Like Momonga and Kizaru, he wears a pinstripe suit, though his stripes are much thinner than theirs. The main difference between Lacroix and Momonga is that Lacroix's mustache is French-looking, and he has a short, flat hairstyle instead of Momonga's samurai-style hair and stache.

History
Lacroix first appeared among the Marine Brass when Lieutenant-Commander Brandnew announced Luffy's first bounty of 30,000,000 Beli

Lacroix later appeared during the meeting to determine Crocodile's successor to the Shichibukai. He was first strangled by a fellow marine under the control of Donquixote Doflamingo until Vice-Admiral Tsuru told Doflamingo to stop. Doflamingo later tried to make Lacroix and the other marine fight to the death, but Sengoku's arrival stopped Doflamingo's tomfoolery.

Lacroix was one of the Vice-Admiral commanders at the Battle of Marineford. When Oars Jr. broke through the marine's defenses, Lacroix ordered the marines to fall back and strengthen the bay defenses so Whitebeard's forces could not enter the plaza.
