The World Government initially controls two of the three types of great powers in One Piece: the Marines, described as the public face of the government, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, allied privateers who hunt other pirates. The Government also includes other military forces such as the ten Cipher Pol intelligence agencies.

However, due to their connection to the World Government, they constantly abuse their power and despise the people below them (referring to them as "commoners") to the point of wearing enclosed helmets with supplied oxygen so as not to breathe the same air as them.Template:Gnr

is the King of the World and creator of the World Government.Template:Gnr He is the secret, shadowy leader of the world who occupies the Empty Throne of Pangaea Castle at Mary Geoise; he was one of the monarchs in the First Twenty, choosing to embrace anonymity by withholding their surname. He is a devil-like man with pale hair, dark skin and horns, who wields a giant serpent spear called Nemesis.Template:Gnr His existence is kept secret from the world and much within the Government that if anyone witnesses his existence, they are assassinated.Template:GnrTemplate:Gnr Imu is shown to be extremely sadistic and cruel, casually destroying the kingdom of Lulusia solely due to their proximity to a weapon of mass destruction, as well as unsuccessfully forcing giant children to fall to their deaths to torment their families, amongst an unspecified but great amount of crimes against humanity.Template:Gnr Imu holds an intense hatred towards those who bear the "Will of D", in addition to Joy Boy, an adversary whose defeat by Imu led to the spread of Poneglyphs among a series of failures.

Imu ate a Devil Fruit that is aptly named Devil's Fruit, which gives him the ability to transform into an enormous devil. In his devil form, Imu is immortal and can generate fire, generate an Abyss which allows instantaneous transportation from one place to another, heal others, create arrowhead-shaped appendages, and transform others into demons. Imu is able to wield both Conquerer's Haki and Observation Haki, and most likely can use Armament Haki.Template:Gnr He can also create and shoot explosive orbs called Omen. Template:Gnr

Nefertari D. Lili

was the Queen of the Kingdom of Alabasta 800 years ago and one of the First Twenty monarchs who created the World Government. Alone out of the 20 founding families, she chose not to move to Mary Geoise but to return to Alabasta. However, she never returned home and her younger brother succeeded her as the ruler of Alabasta. Imu said Lili was responsible for spreading the Poneglyphs detailing the Void Century across the world.Template:GnrTemplate:Gnr

The , translated as the "Navy" in the English translations of the manga and the 4Kids English dub of the anime, are a maritime force under the command of the World Government. Currently the position of fleet admiral, who is the leader of the organization, is occupied by Akainu. The greatest forces are the three admirals, who are currently Kizaru, Fujitora, and Ryokugyu. The corrupted Captain Ax-Hand Morgan (father of Helmeppo) was the first high-ranking officer of the Marines depicted in the series until he was stripped of his status when he was defeated by Luffy.

Fleet Admiral

The Fleet Admiral is the highest rank in the Marines. Aside from Kong, the following are known fleet admirals:

Sakazuki

, better known as Admiral , is a ruthless Marine officer with the ability of the Logia-type , which allows him to control, create, and transform into magma.Template:Gnr Akainu is a firm believer in "Absolute Justice," going as far as eliminating an entire population should an enemy be hidden there. This was first shown when the World Government eradicated Nico Robin's island of Ohara. Akainu destroyed a refugee evacuation ship simply due to the possibility of even one scholar sneaking on board; his logic was that if even one of the scholars of Ohara had escaped with it, the mission would've been a failure, much to the dismay of Aokiji, who called him a fool for overdoing things.Template:Gnr After Sengoku retires, Akainu wins the position of fleet admiral in a duel against Aokiji after ten days of fighting in Punk Hazard.Template:Gnr His appearance is modeled after Bunta Sugawara.Template:Gnr

He is voiced at first by Michio Nakao in the earlier parts of the original Japanese version and later by Fumihiko Tachiki in the later parts of the original Japanese version. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Andrew Love.

Sengoku

is a Marine officer and contemporary of Gold Roger who eventually rises to the rank of fleet admiral.Template:Gnr The ability of the Mystical Zoan-type allows Sengoku to transform into a daibutsu or a daibutsu-human hybrid.Template:Gnr Sengoku is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki. Following the Paramount War, he retires from the service and, against his recommendation to promote Aokiji, is succeeded by Akainu.Template:Gnr Although retired from active duty, Sengoku continues to serve in the Marines as an inspector general. Two years after the war, he is shown to have mellowed rather considerably due to his lack of responsibilities.

In the Japanese anime television series, he is initially voiced by Takkō Ishimori, later by Tōru Ōkawa. In the Funimation English adaptation, he is initially voiced by Ed Blaylock and later by Philip Weber.

Admirals

The Admirals are the second highest rank in the Marines. At the beginning of the series, the group of the three Admirals consisted of Sakazuki (Akainu), Borsalino (Kizaru) and Kuzan (Aokiji). After the two-year timeskip, following Sakazuki's promotion and Kuzan's resignation, the group consists of Borsalino, Issho (Fujitora) and Aramaki (Ryokugyū).

Borsalino

, better known as Admiral , is an easygoing marine officer with the power of the Logia-type , which allows him to generate, control, or become light as well as fire destructive beams.Template:Gnr Despite his unusually calm and laidback demeanor often leading to absent-mindedness (asking pirates for Sentomaru's direction), he is a highly competent and unforgiving fighter.Template:Gnr He is depicted as being conflicted in his missions, befriending Vegapunk whom he had been ordered to arrest for 26 years; his killing of Vegapunk would traumatize him to the point he uncharacteristically lashed out at Sakazuki and caused him to sincerely apologize.Template:Gnr

The character's appearance is modeled after Kunie Tanaka.Template:Gnr Originally voiced by Unshō Ishizuka until 2018, he was replaced by Ryōtarō Okiayu following Ishizuka's death. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Ray Hurd.

Issho

, better known as Admiral , is one of the Marine admirals who joined during the timeskip. He has the ability to control gravity through the powers of the Press-Press Fruit, being able to make the environment heavier or lighter. Having blinded himself due to the trauma of numerous atrocities prior to his career in the Marines, he uses Color of Observation Haki to feel what is around him.Template:Gnr

He wanted to end the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, which is why in Dressrosa he had a conflict against Donquixote Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law, where he later had to team up with the latter and the Straw Hat Crew to stop Doflamingo's corruption. Despite orders to arrest him, a fight with Luffy made him gain immense respect for the pirate, willfully permitting the Straw Hats' escape to Sengoku's chagrin.Template:Gnr

His character appearance is modeled after Shintaro Katsu. In the original Japanese version of the anime, he is voiced by Ikuya Sawaki. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Charles C. Campbell.

Aramaki

, better known as Admiral , is the second of the two admirals appointed to their rank during the two-year timeskip, next to Fujitora. He ate the Forest-Forest Fruit, a Devil Fruit power that allows him to generate, control, or become plant life like a forest, trees, and flowers, as well as manipulation of all plant life Template:Gnr, whether on a small or massive scale, with vegetation growing wherever he treads. Inter alia, Ryokugyu can summon roots to impale people and objects and then drain them of their moisture and nutrients,Template:Gnr which has allowed him to go three years without eating anything the conventional way.Template:Gnr While easygoing much like former Admiral Aokiji, Ryokugyu appears to be a supporter of Akainu's brand of Absolute Justice, but he is more prone to destroying those who do not side with his brand of "justice", especially when it comes to the World Government authority, unlike Sakazuki Template:Gnr. So, thus the is venturing to Wano to try to bring down Luffy to get his superior's approval.Template:Gnr Ryokugyu's appearance seems modeled after Japanese actor Yoshio Harada.

Ryokugyu is voiced by Jun'ichi Suwabe in the Japanese version of the anime. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Matthew David Rudd.

Vice-Admirals

The Vice-Admirals are the third highest rank in the Marines.

Monkey D. Garp

, nicknamed and , is a vice-admiral, Monkey D. Dragon's father and Luffy's grandfather.Template:Gnr He is famous for cornering Gold RogerTemplate:Gnr and considered a hero of the Marines.Template:Gnr After Roger's execution, he took care of Roger's son Ace and raised him like his own grandson.Template:Gnr He has superhuman strength, enough to lift and throw cannonballs like baseball pitches.Template:Gnr Garp takes both Koby and Helmeppo under his wing.

At the end of the war with Whitebeard, Garp retires from the front line and decides to train the next generation of Marines. He is imprisoned on Fullalead by Blackbeard after saving Koby on the island.

Garp is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki and can use the advanced application for both Haoshoku and Busoshoku Haki.Template:Gnr

He is voiced by Hiroshi Naka in the Japanese version of the anime. In the English version of the series, he is voiced by Brian Mathis in the Funimation dub.

In the live-action series, Garp is portrayed by Vincent Regan.

Smoker

is a marine officer and cigar enthusiast, keeping plenty of cigars strapped to the left side of his jacket while smoking two lit ones.Template:Gnr Smoker ate the Logia-type allows him to manipulate, create, and transform into smoke.Template:Gnr His weapon is a jutte tipped with sea-prism stone. Upon seeing Luffy smile before miraculously surviving his execution in Loguetown, Smoker came to believe that he is a potential threat, since his attitude during his near demise, mirrored that of Gold Roger when he was executed, Smoker became more confused when Dragon stopped him from killing Luffy. Befuddled by these events, Smoker followed Luffy to the Grand Line and became obsessed with capturing him, to a near stalker like level, which only intensifies upon discovering Luffy is Dragon's son during the Paramount War. Smoker is a mentor of Tashigi since the Straw Hats arrived at Loguetown.

Two years after the Paramount War, he is promoted to the rank of vice-admiral.Template:Gnr Smoker unwillingly allied with the Straw Hats and the Heart Pirates on Punk Hazard due to Trafalgar Law's interference, assisting in the defeat of Caesar Clown.Template:Gnr

In the Japanese anime series, he is voiced originally by Ginzō Matsuo, later by Mahito Ōba. In the 4Kids English adaptation, referred to as "Chaser the Smoke Hunter", he is voiced by Rusell Velazquez. In the Funimation English adaptation, where he is called Smoker the "White Hunter", his voice is supplied by Greg Dulcie. In the live-action series, Smoker is portrayed by Callum Kerr.
