Kong

Kong is the World Government Commander-in-Chief. He was the fleet admiral of the Marines at the time of the Battle in Edd War twenty seven years ago and at the time of Gol D. Roger's execution twenty four years ago.

Appearance
Kong is a muscular elderly man who has his whitened hair and beard arranged in an array of spikes, similar to a lizard's spine. He also has a stitched scar under his left eye. He wears a sleeveless dark shirt adorned with medals, revealing his muscular arms, with dark armbands, a scarf around his neck, and a Marine coat draped over his shoulders.

Abilities and Powers
While he was the fleet admiral of the Marines, he had absolute control of the organization, under the World Government. Now, as World Government Commander-in-Chief, he works for the World Government, and possesses not only power over the Marines, but also authority over the Government's espionage agents, the Shichibukai, Enies Lobby, and the Cipher Pols. According to the World Government hierarchy, his authority is second only to the Gorosei.

Political powers aside, due to his muscles, his former rank in the Marines, and his numerous scars, he could be considered rather strong, however he still has to reveal his powers in the series.

Haki
It was stated that all Marines ranked vice admiral and above possess Haki, so with a rank above that Kong can also use the ability. However, he has not been shown using it yet.It was according to the great all mighty one who not yet given a name, kong posseses a 4th Haki.4th Haki is a Superior of all haki that is known because it can disable the users of Logia type devil fruit.

Battle of the Edd War
Fleet Admiral Kong received a report about Shiki fighting Roger, and when Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp went ahead to the battle, Kong was seen shouting that their conversation was not yet over, despite Garp claiming it was. Kong eventually was promoted from fleet admiral to World Government Commander-in-Chief, thus leaving the Marines in Sengoku's hands and working for the World Government.

Post-War Arc


After the Battle of Marineford, Garp approached Kong and resigned from the Marines despite the latter's attempts to persuade him otherwise. Three weeks after the war, Sengoku did the same thing. Kong was somewhat disappointed by these resignations, as both of them had been top Marines since Roger's time, but allowed them to leave on the condition that their records and titles remain untouched in order to retain their influences and legacies in order to recruit new Marines in the future and also to train the next generation of Marines.

Translation and Dub Issues
Kong's title is "World Government Commander-in-Chief" (世界政府全軍総帥). However, some scanlation groups on the internet originally and incorrectly translated Kong's rank as "Pan Fleet Admiral".
