The Marines are a powerful bunchinOne Piecethat fans know holds tremendous weight in the grand scheme of things. For the pirates, the Marines are the biggest of threats, especially since they are one of the three major superpowers in theOne Pieceworld that maintain the balance on the seas. Before the timeskip of the story, it was revealed by Garp that the three big powers are the Yonko, the Marines, and the Shichibukai.
The latter two combine together to rival the influence and power of the Marines, which goes to show how monstrously powerful the Yonko truly are. The Marines are powerful themselves, with some very powerful individuals, such as the Fleet Admiral and the Admirals, within their ranks. While the Navy is strong right now, a major battle is coming and it could very well see the destruction of the current Marine order, paving the way for a new system to be established.
Why The Marines Need To Be Destroyed in One Piece
The Marines are a major and powerful faction that exist in theOne Pieceworld. On the surface, the Marines are simply there to take care of people and curb the influence of the pirates. However, the truth of the matter is deeper than that. The Marines aren’t there for the people of the world, but to maintain the order that was established by the World Government. After all, the Marines are the military branch of the World Government and fans know for a fact that at the end of the day, the Marines simply do what the Celestial Dragons want them to do. In other words, they’re pawns in someone else’s game and a show of military force that, more often than not, end up doing harm.
Destroy all the pirates! As long as pirates exist, don’t stop fighting. — Akainu
The Marines have shown direct involvement in many tragedies, such as the one on Ohara, which is one of the many reasons why Dragon stands so vehemently against not just the top composed of the Celestial Dragons. Within the Navy itself, fans know there are many hardliners,such as Akainu, and with him, many others, who believe in Absolute Justice and would go to no lengths to slaughter people. In a safe future, this type of organization cannot be allowed to exist as it does. That is precisely why there needs to be a new Navy organization at the end of One Piece, and Oda has already laid the groundwork for it.
The New Marines In The One Piece World Under A New Order
Fujitora And Smoker’s Key Role In Marines Reestablishment
The Marines, as an organization, represent justice. They are currently directly under the influence of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, but eventually,the Celestial Dragons are going to be removed from power, and when that happens, the Navy will have to change. The hardliners of the Navy, such as Akainu, Onigumo, and many others, have absolutely no place in the new world that will be established after the Great War. These are the characters that need to, and will most likely, fall in the Final Saga ofOne Piece.
You are all the future of the Marines! Don’t forget that! — Garp to the SWORD members
Meanwhile, Oda had already revealed the plans for a new Navy through characters like Garp, Fujutora, and Smoker. As far as Fujutora and Smoker go, fans know what they think of the higher-ups. Fujitora openly claimed that the Navy failed in Dressrosa, and chose honestly instead did deception, something that earned him the wrath of Fleet Admiral Akainu. But, going forward, the Navy needs just men like Fujutora. He even allowed the slaves to escape in Marijoa, because that’s what his ideals tell him to do, and he allowed Luffy to beat Doflamingo in Dressrosa.Fujutora is already setting up an example of what a Navy person should be like. Both Smoker and Tashigi are the same. They have their own morals and they aren’t lapdogs of the Government.
Together, these three will be major in the future establishment of a new Marine order.
The Next Generation Of The Marines
Garp, as fans know, has always been a part of the Navy, but he’s always sought reform. Garp wants to raise people who will one day change the face of the world and make the Navy proud. In that regard, he’s already done his job with Koby andthe other members of SWORD, who are all kind-hearted and think twice about others before themselves. Together, these elements will play a major role in One Piece once the current order falls and crumbles in the Final War. As that happens, a new world order will be built, and it is highly likely that Fujutora and the others will be a major part of it in One Piece’s endgame.
