Sengoku

Biodata

History

Sengoku initially refused Garp’s request to enlist the ten-year-old Luo Sa. After Zephyr confirmed the boy’s abilities, Sengoku offered an exception: Luo Sa could enter the Elite Camp by earning a sufficiently high ranking in its assessment. Sengoku later raised the requirement to first place 10 18.

Luo Sa’s rapid rise impressed Sengoku, but the discovery that he was Roger’s son changed Sengoku’s approach. Despite Garp’s insistence that Luo Sa was innocent, Sengoku planned to confine him to Vegapunk’s laboratory upon his return to headquarters 114. When Luo Sa escaped and became a major threat, Sengoku directed repeated efforts to capture or eliminate him 121 150 161.

Sengoku commanded the Marines’ preparations for Ace’s public execution, expecting both Whitebeard and Luo Sa to intervene. At the execution platform, he publicly identified Ace as Roger’s son 223 224 225. During the ensuing war, Sengoku fought Whitebeard and later Luo Sa; Kizaru saved him from one of Luo Sa’s attacks 228 231.

Personality

Sengoku weighs exceptional talent against the demands of his office. He was willing to bend enlistment rules for Luo Sa after testing him, yet later resolved to capture him because of his identity and growing power 10 114. He also prioritizes the Marines’ authority and continued existence, rejecting Luo Sa’s claim that they should break from the World Government 223 232 244.
