by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece‘s Elbaf arc.

Summary

  • The current Marine order in One Piece is corrupt, serving the World Government and Celestial Dragons.
  • Oda has laid the groundwork for a major change in the Navy, with Fujitora and Smoker playing key roles.
  • Garp and the next generation of Marines aim to reform the organization post-war for a new world order.

In the animated series “One Piece”, the Marines are a formidable group whose influence is greatly respected by fans. To pirates, they pose a significant danger due to their status as one of the three dominant powers that regulate the seas. Prior to the narrative’s timeskip, it was disclosed by Garp that these three influential entities are the Yonko, the Marines, and the Shichibukai.

Observing closely, it’s evident that the final pair have amassed an influence and strength on par with the Marines. This underscores the colossal might of the Yonko. The Marines, formidable in their own right, boast powerful figures like the Fleet Admiral and Admirals within their ranks. However, a monumental clash is imminent, one that could potentially shatter the existing Marine order, opening the door for a new power structure to emerge.

Why The Marines Need To Be Destroyed in One Piece

  • The Current Marine Order In One Piece Is Corrupt
  • Oda Has Already Set Up Plans For A Major Change

In the world of One Piece, the Marines are a significant and dominant group, often portrayed as protectors of the people, aiming to reduce pirate influence. However, their true intentions run deeper. Instead of serving the people, they maintain the system established by the World Government. As the military arm of this government, it’s clear that the Marines carry out the wishes of the Celestial Dragons, acting as pieces on someone else’s chessboard more than guardians of the populace. In essence, they are tools used for maintaining order and displaying military might, which too frequently results in harm rather than protection.

Destroy all the pirates! As long as pirates exist, don’t stop fighting. — Akainu

The Marines have been directly implicated in numerous catastrophes, including the incident at Ohara, which serves as one of the primary reasons Dragon passionately opposes not only the ruling council of Celestial Dragons, but also the Marine hierarchy itself. Within the Navy’s ranks, there are known hardliners like Akainu, who advocate for Absolute Justice and are willing to kill indiscriminately. In a just world, such an organization should not persist as it currently does. This is why, in the ideal future, a new Navy organization must arise following One Piece, and Oda has already set the stage for its emergence.

Fujutora And Smoker’s Key Role In Marines Reestablishment

In the context of the storyline of “One Piece”, the Marines, as an institution, symbolize justice. However, they are presently controlled by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. It’s foreseen that the Celestial Dragons will lose their power post-Great War, leading to a necessary transformation within the Navy. Characters like Akainu, Onigumo, and many others who adhere to rigid ideologies may find themselves out of place in the new world order. These are the characters likely to meet their end during the Final Saga of “One Piece”.

You are all the future of the Marines! Don’t forget that! — Garp to the SWORD members

Simultaneously, Oda had disclosed the blueprint for a revamped Navy via characters such as Garp, Fujitora, and Smoker. It is no secret that fans perceive Fujitora and Smoker’s opinions on superior officers rather candidly. Fujitora publicly admitted that the Navy faltered in Dressrosa, opting for honesty over deceit – a decision that incurred the ire of Fleet Admiral Akainu. However, as we move forward, the Navy requires individuals like Fujitora who embody integrity and courage. Interestingly, Fujitora even allowed the slaves to flee in Marijoa, acting according to his beliefs, and he permitted Luffy to defeat Doflamingo in Dressrosa. In essence, Fujitora is demonstrating what it means to be a member of the Navy. Similarly, Smoker and Tashigi exhibit their own moral compasses and are not mere puppets of the government.

Together, these three will be major in the future establishment of a new Marine order.

The Next Generation Of The Marines

In the eyes of his fans, Garp has consistently served in the Navy while advocating for change. His ultimate goal is to nurture individuals who will eventually reshape the world and bring honor to the Navy. To this end, he has already accomplished his mission with Koby and other members of SWORD, all of whom possess noble hearts and consider others before themselves. These elements are poised to play a significant role in One Piece as the existing order disintegrates during the Final War. As this occurs, the foundation for a new world order will be laid, and it is highly probable that Fujutora and others will significantly influence the endgame of One Piece.
