History
Mars is introduced questioning Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong over the Marines’ response to a Celestial Dragon’s death 49. He later supports grooming Jin An as the next Fleet Admiral, but, as the Elders grow wary of Jin An, orders the collection of Poneglyphs and punishment of anyone challenging World Government authority 279 286.
After Jin An defies the Five Elders, Mars pronounces a death sentence against him 448. Their conflict continues through the fighting at Mary Geoise and Elbaf, where Mars joins the Elders’ coordinated efforts to counter Jin An 459 538.
During the battle on Elbaf, Imu withdraws the power she had given the Five Elders. Mars’s Itsumade wings shatter, and he falls from the sky; Jin An subsequently severs his wings in combat 543. The World Government later announces that the original Five Elders have been replaced 546.
Appearance
In his human form, Mars is thin, with a graying beard 279 474.
- Transformed form: Black feathers, eagle-like wings, crest feathers, and golden eyes 538.
- Itsumade wings: Identified by name as they shatter when Imu withdraws his power 543.
Personality
Mars speaks with open contempt toward those he considers subordinate, from Kong to Marines questioning the World Government 49 452. He favors forceful protection of its authority, ordering a search of Mary Geoise after an attack and demanding the collection of Poneglyphs at any cost 286 287. Jin An’s strength unsettles him, and Imu’s apparent abandonment leaves him openly doubtful 449 542.
