Aokiji

Kuzan (クザン), formerly know by his Marine alias Aokiji (青雉), is a former Marine Admiral. Years ago on Ohara, Kuzan had caught the eye of one of the criminal archaeologists, Nico Robin. After freezing Jaguar D. Saul to death, he helped Robin escape but gave her a warning. Twenty years later, he followed Robin to Long Ring Long Land island where she was now in the service of the Straw Hat Pirates. Kuzan fought the pirates believing they shouldn't protect her. Luffy stalled the Admiral with enough time for the crew to escape.

At Marineford, Kuzan was overseeing the public execution of Portgas D. Ace. When Whitebeard sent his forces in to rescue their fellow pirate, Kuzan began to freeze the bay, and even after being shattered, was still able to repair himself. After Ace was freed, Kuzan confronted him in a battle of fire and ice, though their two elements simply cancelled each other out. As the battle at Marineford neared its end, Kuzan tried to prevent Luffy from escaping with the Heart Pirates. Eventually, Kuzan stood down.

Two years after, Kuzan partook in a duel to the death to decide the next Fleet Admiral. His opponent was fellow Admiral Akainu. After a ten day duel, Akainu arose the victor, and Kuzan resigned from the marines, not wanting to serve under Akainu, while also forfeiting his marine alias and reverting to his real name.

Players can unlock him in the third game's Dream Log Mode.

Role in Games
Dropping his alias in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, Kuzan joins Luffy in his quest to free his friends.

Personality
Kuzan exhibits a laid-back personality and only becomes serious when he needs to be. He enjoys sleeping, and would always wear a sleeping mask on his forehead when he was first introduced. Despite his lazy lifestyle, he was more than willing to duel Akainu for the position of fleet admiral, despite not wanting the position himself. He was disgusted at the idea of serving under Akainu, so he resigned as a result and lived his life as a wanderer.

Fighting Style
Kuzan ate the Chilly-Chilly Fruit, a Logia-class Devil Fruit that allows him to turn his body into ice, as well as produce near limitless amounts of ice and manipulate it. The Chilly Chilly Fruit is unique even among Logia fruits, as ice is a solid-state element. Therefore, Kuzan doesn't possess a fluid body like most other Logia users, and cannot simply dissolve out of harm's way. However, if his icy body is shattered or damaged in any way, he can simply reform himself like other Logia users do. As a former marine admiral, he wields devastating destructive capabilities, and is a huge force to be reckoned with. Kuzan relies on his icy Devil Fruit powers in combat, using them to freeze enemies or conjure up constructs made of ice to attack with. He can form many solid constructs out of his ice, such as swords, tridents, icicles, boulders, and spikes, and uses them in a variety of ways to attack enemies with. Many of his attacks leave his victims in a frozen state, allowing Kuzan to shatter them with his R1, dealing damage. He is also quite adept in swordsmanship.

Trivia

 * Regardless of whether the player sets his costume to his Marine uniform or his post-resignation outfit, his in-game name will always be Kuzan and not Aokiji.
