Before joining the Marines, Issho served as the captain of a guard force in the Aoi Kingdom. Disillusioned by the atrocities he witnessed, he voluntarily blinded himself to avoid seeing the world’s evils, choosing instead to rely on his heightened other senses and moral judgment. During the World Military Draft, Issho was conscripted into the Marines due to his extraordinary strength and unwavering sense of justice, rising to the rank of Admiral.

His philosophy of “Humane Justice” sets him apart from many other Marines, emphasizing compassion and fairness over strict adherence to orders. This belief system guided his campaign to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a system he viewed as corrupt and detrimental to the world’s balance.

Fujitora is a tall, muscular man with a stern yet calm expression. His most distinctive feature is his blindness, which he compensates for with exceptional Observation Haki. He wears the traditional Marine Admiral coat draped over his shoulders, along with a purple kimono tied with a sash. His signature weapon is a shikomizue (a sword hidden within a cane), which he uses with devastating precision and strength.

Fujitora is a kind, honorable, and empathetic individual who prioritizes the well-being of the innocent above all else. He often questions the actions of the Marines and the World Government, aligning himself more with the ideals of justice than with blind loyalty. Despite his high rank, Fujitora is humble and unafraid to admit his mistakes or stand against his superiors when he feels they are in the wrong.

While he carries out his duties as an Admiral, Fujitora does so with a focus on minimizing harm to civilians, often clashing with more rigid or corrupt figures within the Marines. His calm demeanor belies his immense strength and unwavering resolve.

Dressrosa Arc
Fujitora’s first mission as an Admiral was to address the alliance between Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law and to investigate the situation on Dressrosa. While tasked with capturing the two pirates, he also uncovered the tyranny of Donquixote Doflamingo. Fujitora’s actions during this arc demonstrated his adherence to “Humane Justice,” as he prioritized the safety of Dressrosa’s citizens over blindly following orders. In the aftermath of Doflamingo’s defeat, Fujitora publicly apologized to King Riku for the Marines’ failure to prevent Dressrosa’s suffering, even bowing before him—an unprecedented act for a Marine Admiral. His decision to let the Straw Hats leave Dressrosa unscathed further highlighted his unique moral compass.

Levely and Abolishment of the Seven Warlords
Fujitora spearheaded the campaign to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, which he viewed as inherently corrupt and harmful. His efforts succeeded during the Levely, marking a significant shift in the balance of power in the One Piece world.

Other Appearances

  Fujitora viewed Doflamingo’s rule over Dressrosa as an abomination and worked indirectly to ensure his downfall.

• Sakazuki (Akainu)
  Fujitora’s relationship with Sakazuki is tense due to their opposing interpretations of justice. Fujitora’s actions often challenge Sakazuki’s authority.
