Character Profile: Sakazuki

Sakazuki, more commonly known by his alias Akainu, is a very capable and strong leader who has consolidated the power and prestige of the Marines. Sakazuki would be best categorized as an extremist and highly dogmatic. Sakazuki is an adamant believer in Absolute Justice, and is ruthless in his maintenance of it. His motto is "Thorough Justice" (徹底的な正義, Tetteiteki na Seigi?).

Sakazuki has a stern, dead-serious disposition, grim, expressionless, and was the most ruthless out of all three admirals two years ago. This has given him a very fearsome reputation, but of greater concern is his dogmatism, which may end up making the Marines into a force that is worse than the enemies they hope to eliminate. Despite this disposition, like Eustass Kid, Akainu seems to be able to restrain himself at times, having chosen to spare the life of Jewelry Bonney and her crew after they were left by the Blackbeard Pirates for Akainu to salvage, and letting his colleague Aokiji live despite Aokiji losing to him after a 10 day duel to the death for the position of fleet admiral.
