Aokiji

Aokiji (real name Kuzan) is a former Marine Admiral. Years ago on Ohara, Aokiji 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. Aokiji fought the pirates believing they shouldn't protect her. Luffy stalled the Vice Admiral with enough time for the crew to escape.

On Marineford, Aokiji was overseeing the public execution of Portgas D. Ace. When Whitebeard sent his forces in to rescue their fellow pirate, Aokiji began to freeze the bay, and even after being shattered, was still able to repair himself. After Ace was freed, he fought against Aokiji in a battle against fire vs. ice. As the battle at Marineford neared its ending, Aokiji tried to keep Luffy from leaving with the Heart Pirates. Eventually, Aokiji stood down.

Two years after, Aokiji partook in a duel to the death to decide the next Fleet Admiral. His opponent was Akainu. In ten days, Akainu was the winner, and Aokiji resigned from the marines.

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.
