marines in one piece It has been portrayed as a symbol of justice on the sea in the series. The Marines operate under the orders of the world government. And they are expected to follow orders without question. However, like many people, some of these Marines have beliefs and principles that guide their lives. In this way, while some Marines follow orders, Without question, others struggle with the stark conflict between their sense of justice and the actions of the government they serve. one pieceThese internal conflicts have created a handful of people who might one day rebel against the system they swore to support.

Coby

The future of the sea

Koby was once a shy child at the beginning of the series. But his decision to join the Marines made him stronger. And his steadfast beliefs made him a hero in the Marine Corps. His admiration for pirates like Luffy and Vice Admiral Garp shows his belief in protecting the weak and standing up to oppression. And these values ​​sometimes conflict with the darker side of the Marine Corps, for example during the Marineford War. Coby stands up to Akainu. and begged to stop the senseless bloodshed This challenge, though bold, But it could also cause his death.

It shows that Koby's loyalties do not depend on the Marine hierarchy. but also in the concept of justice.

Even more so when Koby rose through the ranks. He is increasingly confronting the moral decay that is at the heart of the Marine system. Marines serve the tyrannical Heavenly Dragon. and Coby, who values ​​justice and compassion. There will no doubt be a struggle to reconcile his beliefs with the reality of working under such a corrupt system. If Coby was ordered to enforce an order that directly harmed innocent people. And this is what Marines have done countless times to preserve the status quo. How long will it take him to question whether he's fighting for the right?

Admiral Kizaru

Admiral Light

In most series Kizaru is portrayed as a laid-back character. who show no secret loyalty of Akainu Fujitora's “absolute justice” or moral determination, on the other hand, Kizaru's actions often feel detached. It was as if he was following orders because it was the easiest route.

What would drive Kizaru to betray the Marines?

• Vegapunk's Death Weight

Kizaru sees Vegapunk as more than just a colleague. And his death may have fueled the admiral's doubts about future support for the Marines. The fact that Vegapunk was targeted by the organization he helped create. It highlights the brutal and self-serving nature of world government. After Kizaru witnessed this cruelty to Egghead He may begin to wonder if his loyalty is truly deserved. Losing a good friend like Vegapunk which even made him cry It might cause Kizaru to reevaluate his role in the Marines. If he blamed the organization responsible for this loss, It can create conflict between him and his loyalties.

• Influence of the Sky Dragon

The Marines' servitude to the Heavenly Dragon has always been a point of contention for moral Marines like Fujitora and Garp. Even though Kizaru is still indifferent But seeing how their corruption is damaging the people he respects might be the push he needs to back off. The fact that one of the Five Elder Saint Jaygarcia Saturn is present on Egghead, thus forcing his hand could make him reevaluate his stance on why they are truly worthy of controlling worldly affairs.

Kizaru and Aokiji have a history together. And Aokichi's defection after losing faith in the Marines and his battle with Akainu may inspire Kizaru to consider his own path. In the end Aokichi's moral problems have been brewing for a long time. Aokichi saves little Robin from Ohara's destruction. But he was also forced to kill his giant friend Saul. This means that Aokiji's defection from the Marines was not only due to the shame of losing Akainu. But it's also more about finding his way. If Aokichi reaches out to Kizaru by taking advantage of their shared experience. It might tip the scales.

As one parts Head into the final war that will decide the fate of the world. The Marine Corps may crack under the pressure of ideological divisions. Even Vegapunk's announcement that the world would sink would have turned the world upside down. Moreover, if the true evil Imu's claim to the empty throne was revealed, It will cause conflict in the navy. Kizaru has enough points to come to terms with Vegapunk's death. who is stuck between duty and personal convictions They may abandon the organization altogether or they may turn their backs on it.

Smokers and Tashigi

Marine Maverick Duo

Smoker's justice is personal and practical. Because he fought for what was right. It wasn't what he was ordered to do. Moreover, Tashigi, who respected Smoker, shared the same principles as her mentor. Their principles are evident in Alabasta. When they chose not to report to the Straw Hats after they helped save the kingdom from crocodiles. They perceived that the World Government's official narrative was a lie to protect the government's reputation. Instead of participating in the deception, Smoker remained faithful to the truth. And even if they promote them They were unimpressed with the decision.

Similarly, in Punk Hazard, the two work together with the Straw Hats to uncover the crimes of Caesar the Clown and expose the horrors of SAD production. They prioritize the safety of innocents over their duties as Marines. This shows once again that their loyalty lies with justice, not the institution. In this sense, how can they uphold justice within an often treacherous organization? Smoker and Tashigi know that the world government values ​​power and control. More than protecting the innocent But they are still part of the system. Hoping to change from within, however, even the most resilient people have a breaking point. Which raises the question: How long can they endure the Marines' oppressive system? They already know that not all pirates are evil. Like a straw hat Like all Marines are bad. This subtle outlook sets the two Marines apart from unreliable individuals like Akainu, making them more likely to question their long-term loyalties.

Fujitora

man of balance

From the moment Fujitora was introduced It was clear that his sense of justice was unlike anything the Marines had ever seen before. He despises oppression and values ​​justice and humanity above all else. During the Dressrosa arch The Admiral saw the evil that Doflamingo committed under the protection of the Shichibukai system. Instead of covering up the failures of world governments Instead, Fujitora publicly apologized to King Riku and the people of Dressrosa for the Marines' role in allowing Doflamingo's rise to power. This act of humility was unprecedented. and earned him the wrath of Admiral Akainu, who criticized him for ruining the reputation of the Marines.

Moreover, What does this mean for Fujitora? The truth is more important than appearance. He has no patience for the maritime culture of silence and concealment. Additionally, the events at Reverie in Mariejois have left Fujitora in a moral dilemma amidst the hypocrisy of the world government. Because the Heavenly Dragon represents power and oppression that cannot be controlled. Fujitora's values ​​are thus fundamentally at odds with their very existence, so his willingness to fight Green Bull at Mariejois indicates that he is at his breaking point. If Fujitora finds out that the government he serves is the root of all evil, in this case, the existence of the Imu. It might push him to cut ties with the Marines entirely. Because Fujitora has no desire for power or recognition. It only creates a more just and just world. His betrayal was therefore driven by principles. It's not ambition.

Monkey D. Garp

fist of justice

Garp has always prioritized protecting people over blindly obeying orders. Unlike many Marines, Garp doesn't care about rank, politics, or appeasing the world government. He saw the Marines as a way to keep the peace and protect the innocent. Although the events in God Valley were still a mystery, But his alliance with the Pirate King Gol D. Roger likely came from protecting his people from a greater evil. Garp also repeatedly refused promotion to admiral. Because he would be forced to act as a direct enforcer of the Heavenly Dragon's will. This choice shows the world government's disdain for the high-ranking sect.

Moreover, Garp's family relationships would become a major source of his internal conflicts in the future. As the grandfather of Monkey D. Luffy, a pirate, and the father of Monkey D. Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army. Garp is often caught between his role as a Marine and his love for his family. The Marineford War cost him his son, Portgas D. Ace, and he did nothing but watch him die. In this way, Garp wouldn't have given up hope of watching over the World Government. Execute Luffy or Dragon Especially if they fight for a true and just world.
