"Strawberry" has been featured, meaning it was chosen as an article of interest.

Vice Admiral Strawberry[4] is a Marine officer, and one of the five vice admirals who led the Buster Call assault on Enies Lobby.[1]

Appearance[]

Strawberry is a relatively straight shaped person with a long beard. He is usually seen with his eyes closed, or at least half-closed. He wears a very long bearskin version of the standard Marine uniform cap due to his head being abnormally long.[5] Like many high-ranking Marines, he has a standard Marine's coat draped on his shoulders like a cape. Under it, and over a shirt left unbuttoned near the neck, he wears a water-green jacket, with pale yellow rope-like ornaments on the chest, and matching pants.

Ten years ago, his beard was very thin and his eyes were half-closed. He wore a greenish suit with a darker shirt accompanied by a pale yellow tie with black spots and wore a normal Navy cap, despite his head. Like the other top brass in the Navy, he wore an official Navy cape as part of his uniform.

Personality[]

Strawberry is somewhat scrupulous, doing what is morally right by saving everyone trapped on Enies Lobby before attacking. Therefore, he presumably follows moral justice, or at least a more lenient version of Absolute Justice, like most Marines. Nonetheless, he saw the slaves of the World Nobles as their property with his duty to bring them back, and did not show any sympathy that said slave was a young girl.

He is also usually seen with a calm expression.

Abilities and Powers[]

As a Marine vice admiral, Strawberry is capable of commanding a Buster Call alongside other vice admirals. He also has authority over lower-ranking subordinates.

Due to the large size of his head, he has very strong headbutts.[5]

Weapons[]

Strawberry was shown holding two identical swords with Japanese-looking hilts wrapped in a pink material. They have elongated hand-guards decorated by red gems, just like the rounded pommels, and blades with more of a curve than those of katanas. He wields both of them in reverse, similar to Doma.

Haki[]

Further information: Haki

It was stated that all vice admirals possess Haki,[6] so Strawberry can also use the ability.

History[]

Past[]

While the Sun Pirates were wreaking havoc in the seas, Rear Admiral Strawberry reported to Vice Admiral Borsalino that Rear Admiral Kadar's ship had been sunk.[7]

Later, after the Marines received a tip regarding the arrival of the Sun Pirates to return Koala, a freed slave of the World Nobles, Strawberry led an army of soldiers to ambush Fisher Tiger on Foolshout Island. Jinbe and some of the other Sun Pirates interrupted the execution, freeing their captain, although he was greiviously wounded and ultimately died.[2]

Sometime after Jinbe became the new captain of the Sun Pirates, Strawberry—now covered in head bandages after his battle with Jinbe—went to Marineford and informed his superiors about Jinbe and his strength.[8]

Water 7 Saga[]

Enies Lobby Arc[]

Strawberry VA

Strawberry at Enies Lobby.

Strawberry, along with his colleagues Onigumo, Doberman, Yamakaji, and Momonga, was summoned by Vice Admiral John Giant to execute the Buster Call on Enies Lobby, which had been wrongly invoked by Spandam.[1] Strawberry's ships arrived near the entrance of the island, where many Marines and World Government agents had gathered. As the Franky Family and others rushed to escape on the ships as well, Strawberry had them held at gunpoint until the Marines and agents could be verified and boarded. Once complete, the ships pulled away from the island, and the Buster Call began.[9]

After ceasing the bombardment, the ships gathered at the Bridge of Hesitation. Strawberry was surprised to learn that Oimo, Kashii, the Galley-La Company shipwrights, and the Franky Family had survived the bombardment by clinging on the side of the island using a net made by Paulie. However, the Marines remained focused on the Straw Hat Pirates.[10] Their attempts to recapture Nico Robin and kill Monkey D. Luffy were in vain, leaving Enies Lobby in ruin.[11]

Summit War Saga[]

Marineford Arc[]

Strawberry later heeded the call for troops at Marineford and stood along with the other vice admirals against the incoming attack by Whitebeard's division commanders. When the pirates in the bay lost their ships, Strawberry ordered the troops to open fire on them, claiming them to be perfect targets.

Later, when Luffy attempted to free Ace from his handcuffs, Strawberry gave another order to open fire on the two pirates.

When the Blackbeard Pirates arrived, he is shocked to see Marshall D. Teach's new crewmates, the strongest prisoners from Level 6 of Impel Down. He recognizes Sanjuan Wolf because of his immense size.[12]

Whole Cake Island Saga[]

Levely Arc[]

During the Levely, Strawberry was present at Red Port eating alongside his fellow vice admirals and Hina after the Marines intercepted a communication between Kaidou and Big Mom concerning Luffy while Gion scolded Garp over his lack of concern.[13]
