Aokiji

Biodata

Background and History

Sengoku sends Aokiji to Impel Down after a prison breach threatens Ace’s transfer to Marine Headquarters. Aokiji takes over from the injured Magellan and confronts Jiang Lin on Level 4. Their fight freezes the level; after Jiang Lin copies Aokiji’s Ice-Ice Fruit, their matching ice attacks shatter the floor and send both fighters downward 8 13 14 15.

Aokiji later joins Magellan in escorting Ace. He repeatedly blocks Jiang Lin’s rescue attempts and uses Ace’s poisoning to press him to surrender Ace for treatment. Once Ace chooses to leave with the Marines, Aokiji stops the soldiers from attacking Jiang Lin, judging that securing Ace is enough 17 18 19 20.

At Marineford, Aokiji freezes the tsunamis raised by Whitebeard and then freezes the bay, immobilizing the ships there. He later intercepts Jiang Lin near the Square. In their rematch, Jiang Lin’s enhanced ice cuts through Aokiji’s defenses, but Aokiji pierces Jiang Lin’s chest with an ice spear when his opponent looks away toward Squard 26 48 49.

Appearance

Aokiji is a tall man with unruly hair. He wears a mesh eye mask on his forehead and a white coat draped over his shoulders 13.

• His body is described as covered in ice during the descent to Impel Down’s Level 6 16.
• At Marineford, he sits alongside Akainu and Kizaru on the Admirals’ raised platform 25.

Personality

Aokiji is composed under pressure, taking over the fight with Jiang Lin when Magellan is near collapse. He can be severe—warning Jiang Lin that he will not go easy on him—but also shows restraint when Ace has been secured. By their Marineford rematch, he openly welcomes the chance to test Jiang Lin again, though repeated counters make him visibly angry 13 20 48 49.

Abilities and Skills

Ice-Ice Fruit

Aokiji creates ice, releases intense cold, and freezes large areas. His mastery initially far exceeds Jiang Lin’s newly copied version of the same power 13 14.

• Ice Age freezes Impel Down’s Level 4 and stops Whitebeard’s tsunamis before they strike Marineford 14 26.
• Ice Block: Pheasant Beak forms a giant ice bird used against Jiang Lin in both Impel Down and Marineford 14 15 49.
• Ice Ball sends five ice pillars toward a target; Ice Path lets him travel along a newly formed route of ice 14 15.
• Ice spears, walls, and freezing blasts serve as both attacks and defenses. He can redirect a blast around an ally, as he does when Jiang Lin uses Magellan as a shield 17 48 49.
• Freezing the surface of Marineford’s bay strands the ships docked there 26.

Haki

• Aokiji coats his hands in Armament Haki to break through Jiang Lin’s dangerous, fruit-enhanced ice wall 18.
• He also uses a Haki-coated strike during their Marineford rematch 49.

Relationships

• Jiang Lin — His recurring opponent. Aokiji obstructs Jiang Lin’s attempts to rescue Ace, later spares him further Marine attack, and welcomes their rematch at Marineford 14 20 48 49.
• Sengoku — His superior, who assigns him to protect Ace’s transfer from Impel Down 8.
• Magellan — Cooperates with him to guard Ace; Aokiji takes over combat when Magellan is injured and avoids striking him during an attack 13 17 19.
• Ace — The prisoner Aokiji is assigned to escort. Aokiji uses Ace’s need for poison treatment to prevent Jiang Lin from escaping with him 8 18 20.
• Luffy — Aokiji recognizes him when he intervenes for Jiang Lin and attempts to freeze him 14.
