Sengoku is the fleet admiral of the Marines and Akainu's predecessor. Through much of the series, Sengoku learns of Luffy's actions from Garp. At Marineford, before beginning Ace's execution, it is Sengoku who reveals that the former's father is Monkey D. Garp. Just then, Whitebeard arrives leading a massive army to try and rescue Ace.
Sengoku then tries to carry out Ace's capital punishment before the schedule but Luffy saves his brother at the last moments. Sengoku then engages in the war using his Buddha powers. After Ace dies at Akainu's hands, Sengoku then fights the Blackbeard Pirates planning to issue his brand of justice. When the war is over, Sengoku retires.
