Oda has actually confirmed in the most recent SBS that SWORD members are still official members of the marines & can be promoted. They've handed in their resignations, but the navy won't officially acknowledge them until something happens. I suspect Koby is being held back because of that time he publicly spoke out against Akainu
That's good to know about SWORD members still being official members of the Marines and being eligible for promotion. It makes sense that they would have to hand in their resignations in order to fully join SWORD, but that the Navy wouldn't officially acknowledge them until they were needed. I agree that Koby is probably being held back because of the time he publicly spoke out against Akainu. Akainu is a very powerful and influential Marine, and he is not known for being forgiving. It's likely that he is still holding a grudge against Koby, and that he is using his influence to prevent him from being promoted. However, I think Koby will eventually be promoted, despite Akainu's objections. He is a very talented and capable Marine, and he has the support of many powerful people, including Garp and Sengoku. I'm sure that he will eventually prove himself to be worthy of promotion, and that he will become a valuable asset to the Marines. Note: I'm excited to see how Koby's character develops in the future. He has the potential to be one of the greatest Marines of all time, and I'm looking forward to seeing him achieve his full potential.
Makes since, since in weaker seas you'd still need to have a functioning hierarchy present, even if all the strong marines are sent to the grand line / HQ
5:40 There is actually a major difference between an officer of the marine headquarters and an officer from marine bases! While Nezumi is a captain his actual rank would actually be a simple lower lieutenant if he was an officer of the headquarters. Here is Oda's quote from the sbs of vol29:" The Marine Headquarters are like the super-elite of the Marines. These men who appeared at the assembly in Volume 11. These are the men in the Headquarters' "Junior Officers" ranks but if the former Base Captain "Axe-Arm Morgan" or "Captain Nezumi" from Nami's home were there, they would be among those men. The Headquarters and standard Base ranks are about three ranks apart, you could say. A higher Captain at a Base would be a lower Lieutenant at Headquarters, and a Commander would be a Junior Lieutenant".
I was not aware of that difference in rank between Marine Headquarters officers and Marine base officers. It is interesting to note that Marine Headquarters officers are considered to be the "super-elite" of the Marines. This is likely because they are trained by the best instructors and have access to the most advanced resources. Marine base officers, on the other hand, are responsible for maintaining law and order in their respective areas. They may not have the same level of training or resources as Marine Headquarters officers, but they are still highly skilled and experienced Marines. I can see why Nezumi would be considered a lower lieutenant if he were an officer at Marine Headquarters. He is a very capable Marine, but he does not have the same level of experience or training as some of the other officers at Marine Headquarters.
fun fact: in sbs 107 Oda just cleared up his explanation of Sword. Its members have NOT officially resigned or been disavowed by the marines… yet. Their documents for official resignation are just prepared and always at the ready, because Sword members are only disavowed once they’re caught.
The SBS proves that S.W.O.R.D members are still ranked marines, and can still progress in rank unless they are captured fighting on their own missions. That's when their resignations from the marines are officially recognized
I doubt he did. Maybe since he was a supremely gifted strategist, maybe Sengoku was given mildly higher freedom than normal because the elders trusted his judgement, so Sakazuki was looking at it from the perspective of looking at Sengoku, then when he got the job was treated like any other fleet admiral in history was? Or Sengoku was exactly the same and Sakazuki just didn't understand the level of bureaucracy involved as an outsider looking in. He's too driven and aggressive to have taken that job knowing he'd be shackled for the rest of his career.
0:13 To be fair, the World Government would want as many Devil Fruit users in the ranks of Marines as Vice-Admirals, which they will be candidates for the next trio of Admirals.
Mate i have been watching you for years now. I dont know if you write your script or someone else does for you, but pls give them a raise!! Your humor is off the charts!!!
In the case of Yarisugi... I can't help but think it's a play on やりすぎる (Yarisugiru) which roughly means "to overdo". That outfit is definitely doing the most, and it's great. 🤣
To be fair, pirate crews are all separate entities, and may not always have the freedom to go to doctor, like with Nami on Drum island when the inhabitants wanted to kill them. So having a medic immediately on hand, or even another pirate doctor to turn to is essential. Meanwhile, there probably are basic medics for marine crews, but like a real-life army, they’d probably deflect back. E.g. only massive war ships would have a full infirmary, or if we look at non-canon marine forts like G-8, then it’s normal for a ship to retreat to a marine base for treatment if they suffer mass casualties. Marines probably also have more freedom to just show up at random towns and demand healthcare, as long as the town or kingdom falls under world government jurisdiction
well with the new SBS, SWORD members hold their rankings in the marines until they do something the marines need to accept their resignation. So not every marine holds a higher ranking that SWORD members
X-Drake is the leader of sword, the Kanji on that reveal is the same used for Dragon as the leader of the freedom fighters, which literally means leader in command. It's not the same used for the rank of Captain in the marines. Also in chapter 1080 he literally appears as the man in front of the silhouette of sword with Grus and other member on the side. So X-Drake is presented as the highest ranking Marine in Sword unless there's a secret leader.
There is a bit of a distinction between blue captain in one of the seas and a captain of headquarters which is s grand line operating captain. The former seems to be more about ability to manage the force and keep the seas safe, while the grand line sets the extra requirement for power.
Poor timing on the sword talk when oda clarified it in the sbs, damn. That's how I thought it worked too, though. Apparently he clarified it as "they sign paperwork agreeing to resign at moments notice"
sbs is when people send in questions to oda, the creator of one piece, and he chooses which ones to answer. they get printed in the manga and sometimes you can find them online @@lawbinson
I think it’s kind of ironic/ funny Garp decided to join the marines and still chose the position that gives him the most freedom. He can’t escape that D
In the Marines, the rank and file wear the standard military uniform while the high ranking officers can wear whatever they like. As long as they wear the Coat Capes of Justice to be identified as Marines.
8:06 Given the Events of Miss Goldenweek's Back to Baroque I think we can assume that the Black Cage Corps specialize in bringing in Criminals no longer under the protection of a Warlord. Granted, that means they gorlt a whole buttload of work recently. Oddly enough with help of the prementioned exempt individuals. Sorta kinda.
Being a vice-admiral definitely does NOT put you in line to be an Admiral. Both new Admirals were outsourced. It seems more like you are promoted until failure in the marines. Then the Admirals are considered a different branch, much like Squad Zero from Bleach.
Of all of these Japanese names have meanings, there's like a whole different section of one piece that the casual watchers have no clue about. New guy comes in standing there wearing glasses staring at you. You hear his name is something or other, but that in Japanese means guy with glasses who stairs at you, which would be funny if he was his name guy with glasses of stairs at you, but completely missed by people who don't understand that Japanese names have translations into words

Actually Koby is more free bc he can do more without being disowned like Garp can bc he’s a hero of the marines bc of rocky port incident

That's what he said.

Oda said Marines from HQ are supposed to be 3 ranks stronger than their counterparts from other Blues, so that might explain the inconsistency.
Yeah, the 4 Blues marines are small potatoes.
Full Body, from liutenant, becoming a seaman under Rear-Admiral Hina is just barely a demotion.
@@archiermAnd now he's even higher ranked and in the Grand Line, so that 1 rank promotion is probably more like 50 rank promotion lol
Makes since, since in weaker seas you'd still need to have a functioning hierarchy present, even if all the strong marines are sent to the grand line / HQ
1:26 Fullbody willingly accepted rank demotion as part of the condition for Jango's life to be spared after vouching for his Best Buddy.
Was it ever explained how they met?

SEAMEN “Coming” 💀 1:07
Cemen💀☠️💀
I love this type of GLR content. Always brings me back to when I first came across the channel.
I am wondering if sakazuki knew what he was sigining up to. I think kizaru should be the fleet admiral if we are only talking about being a yes man.
You think he will accept it just to do paperwork hes a slow person even with light fruit
He will definately reject the offer
I doubt he did. Maybe since he was a supremely gifted strategist, maybe Sengoku was given mildly higher freedom than normal because the elders trusted his judgement, so Sakazuki was looking at it from the perspective of looking at Sengoku, then when he got the job was treated like any other fleet admiral in history was?

1:04 I “sea” what you did there😂
I look forward to know the rank of Bogard in the Marines. Most likely as a Vice-Admiral.
Actually how old is that guy,he with the marines since god valley.
@@azax3813At least 58
I think he doesnt have an admiral rank, guess hes just the right hand man bodyguard of Garp.
@@azax3813 He was probably in early adult (19-mid 20s) during the GV incident, so he's probably in his late 50s to early 60s.
Him being vice admiral would make him somewhat equal to garp. I imagine he either has a special rank or is below vice admiral
As someone who has seaman, i see this as an absolute win

I'm rereading Punk Hazard via the Viz translation and I have to shout them out on how Yarisugi speaks, his favorite word is "too much"
Well yeah, everything about him is play on the word, from his fashion, to his overreactions and abuse of citizens.
Corby having a higher rank than Con D. Riano shows how much he grew. He's literally one of the strongest marines now.
Who tf is Corby?
@@potatogaming7044Cobbler, actually
1:06 BRO KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING 💀
Here's a thought: we've seen a few doctors and Law the surgeon in the pirate crews, but not a single medic character in the Marines.
Well Sakazuki would say: "Everyman that could heal, could better kill Pirates." So He would most likely Just ignore that Part
To be fair, pirate crews are all separate entities, and may not always have the freedom to go to doctor, like with Nami on Drum island when the inhabitants wanted to kill them. So having a medic immediately on hand, or even another pirate doctor to turn to is essential.

That would make sense, he was a rear admiral before he quit, so he would be the highest rank.

6:06 the mouse dancing is cute!
Another requirement for achieving VA rank, is that you also need to master the 6 powers (Rokushiki that CP9 used)
1:16 i knew that was coming as soon as he said "don't worry it's coming" i heard the ephasis on coming

I think it’s kind of ironic/ funny Garp decided to join the marines and still chose the position that gives him the most freedom. He can’t escape that D
Guess the monkey family got a mean streak of wanting freedom any way they want
that was a phenomenal Seaman joke. Bravo

Koby has become Garp Clone.

As long as they wear the Coat Capes of Justice to be identified as Marines.
Nah bro the thumbnail made koby as garp in admiral💀
i have a very important question i need to ask Oda in an SBS: how does someone apply for the job of "Robin's feet admiral"?
Down bad
Admiral Coby and Helmeppo remind me of Garp and Bogard

I dont speak Japanese, so sorry if this is wrong in every way, but I like to think Sengoku's admiral epithet was "Ougotori" or Gold Bird C:
"Longtime channel watchers are probably expecting me to make a seaman joke here..."
Got me. I was damn ready.
Can't wait for the Helmeppo rank to drop!
Why dose Mario actually fit? Like, I could easily see him being snuck into a wide shot of a marine crowd. 😂
lol it’s exactly like the real navy ranks. Skips a few ranks but still close. Didn’t know that but cool.
GOOD Explanation man on the internet.
6:07 “and rat is rat for rat”
Oh really. Thanks didten know that😂
The Gorosei saw who was in line to be the next Admirals, and they immediately decided they needed to outsource their Admirals.
Including garp so decide "Yeeh let's go pick somebody else... *

Such a funny video to drop immediately before Oda drops the biggest bombshell on this topic in 1097
And they all started as seamen at one point or another what legends
Watching this video and knowing how much paperwork goes into being Fleet Admiral, I hereby nominate Commodore Brannew for next Fleet Admiral.

1. They are the only ones strong and interesting enough to name in the stories
2. The are the first Real thread strengh whise so the dont get killed off like the rest of the canon fodder Marines, so the ceep positions longer
1:10 Peak humor
Been reading a bit too much JJK lately to not get worried around someone named kujaku when its so close to kenjaku
“Don’t worry…. It’s coming” made me wake up my song
I would have paid money to see Liam use the One Piece Marines D&D in the known members of the rank.
Con D Oriano is one of the strongest Marines but rejected even more promotions than Garp so that he wouldn’t be forced to betray people like Luffy and Ace. Otherwise he would be fleet admiral.
Hm, how very interesting, very informative, I appreciate this Video.
I wonder if we’ll ever get to learn more about Kong?
