Kuzan, better known by his former alias Aokiji, is a former Marine admiral and the first one to be revealed. He was nominated by Sengoku for the position of fleet admiral. However, after losing the position to Sakazuki, he resigned from the Marines.
Powers and Stats
Tier: 6-A, possibly 5-C
Name: Kuzan, moniker “Aokiji” (meaning “Blue Pheasant”)
Origin: One Piece
Gender: Male
Age: 47 (Pre-Timeskip), 49 (Post-Timeskip)
Classification: Human, Former Marine Admiral, Logia Devil Fruit User
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Master hand-to-hand combatant, Weapon Mastery (Capable of wielding his ice as a sword or a piercing weapon), Enhanced Senses (Heard the Moby Dick from his seat, even before the ship emerged onto the sea surface), Haki (Intermediate Kenbunshoku, Advanced Busoshoku), Ice Manipulation, Elemental Intangibility, Inorganic Physiology (Type 1. While he's turned into Ice), Regeneration (High-Mid, only in his logia form), Body Control (Capable of manipulating the size and shape of his logia-form, one time he opened a hole in his torso that allowed an attack to pass through harmlessly, and he can alter the temperature of his body), Weapon Creation (via Ice Saber), Cold Aura, Weather Manipulation (Created a rain of eternal snow in Punk Hazard), Limited Durability Negation and Corrosion Inducement (via frost-bite and freezing), Resistance to Ice Manipulation (All Logias are resistant to their respective elements), Madness Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation via Willpower (Through sheer willpower they can resist losing their mind when absorbing shadows through the Kage Kage no Mi. Shadows belonging to strong willed people are difficult to control, allowing them to rebel against Moria's pact which usually immediately submits a shadow to his supremacy and orders. Spiritual energy is contained within one's soul/life; this energy is represented by the fighting power or the Haki itself. Those with strong souls, which are homologous to shadows, resist the effects of Brook's soul manipulation)
Attack Potency: Continent level+, possibly Moon level (Froze Whitebeard's tsunami. Matched Akainu, his equal, for ten days)
Speed: FTL+ (Battled Sakazuki for ten days. Could morph around Whitebeard's naginata stab)
Lifting Strength: Class E (Comparable to Akainu)
Striking Strength: Continent level+, possibly Moon level (Comparable to Akainu, his equal)
Durability: Continent level+, possibly Moon level (Took blows from Akainu, his equal for days)
Stamina: Superhuman. He didn’t show any signs of strain or fatigue after fighting the forces of the Whitebeard Pirates for hours at the Marineford Battle, also continuously battled Akainu for ten days before their duel was settled.
Range: Extended Melee Range due to size. His freezing can reach over Tens of Kilometers (Froze a sea beyond the horizon and permanently altered the state of half of Punk Hazard with his powers)
Standard Equipment: His Ao Chari, a bicycle he rides across the ocean (after freezing the water in the way). As an Admiral, he has a Den-Den Mushi (telephone) on his wrist which he uses to communicate with other marine and World Government forces or summon Buster Call. However, after resigning from the Marines, he has no known equipment.
Intelligence: Gifted. A highly adept and battle-hardened combatant with decades of combat experience, very accomplished in the use of his Devil Fruit ability, should be an exceptional battle commander and possess admirably strategic intelligence and tactical ability given that he formerly held the rank of Admiral
Weaknesses: Standard Devil Fruit users weaknesses. He can counteract his weakness against water by freezing it on contact. His regeneration is limited to his logia body only, as he was unable to regenerate lower part of his biological left leg after fighting Sakazuki. His ice powers are not quite as effective against heat-based abilities. In the worst-case scenario, his logia powers will not fully defend him against heat, or his ice-based attacks will melt--much like when his Pheasant Beak was canceled out by one of Portgas D. Ace's attacks
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Haki: There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use.
- Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): Aokiji is capable of utilizing this type of Haki, but his limitation is never explored. He had created a wall with the other Admirals to block a quake from Whitebeard, which is an application of Goken, thus he should be highly proficient or even advanced in its level of application.
- Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation): He's capable of utilizing this type of Haki, but his limitation is never explored. He should at least be proficient with its application.
Hie Hie no Mi (Chilly-Chilly Fruit): A Logia type Devil Fruit which allows the user to turn himself, as well as his surroundings, into ice. Most attacks are ineffective against the user because its user can simply shatter and reform the ice composing them on impact. Most of this Devil Fruit's attacks require Kuzan to contact his enemy directly to freeze them, yet Kuzan found ways like creating ice spears or ice tentacles to extend his combat range. This Devil Fruit also allows Kuzan to seemingly project the freezing temperature of his body and emit it outwards, such as when he uses his mere physical presence to freeze the ground, air, water and any object around him. Kuzan is capable of immediately freezing targets that come into contact with his range, inflicting potential frostbite to them, and even lowering their physical constitution down that even falling over would break pieces of their body off.
- Ice Age (Glacial Epoch): An attack used only near the ocean or another large area of water. Kuzan places his hand in the water, then in an instant, freezes it (along with anything in/on it) completely solid. The actual extent of the ice can stretch for miles and last for over a week. The attack can still be conducted as long as the ice he controls is in contact with both him and the area he wishes to freeze. This process is nigh-instant, can affect massive areas, and can take weeks to thaw.
- Ice Time: Kuzan touches his opponent's body, then freezes them into a human ice statue. They can remain alive in a form of suspended animation for some time in their icy prison, but any decent hit will shatter them to pieces. If the ice is melted quickly and carefully the victim can return back to normal without any lasting repercussions.
- Ice Time Capsule: Using his powers, Kuzan sends a wave of ice along the ground, anything it hits is frozen in place.
- Ice Saber: Kuzan picks up several thin objects, such as blades of grass, and throws them into the air. He then blows on them with an icy breath that freezes them into a large, jagged sword of ice. He does not always need to pick up objects to create the blade.
- Ice Ball: Kuzan freezes his opponent in a giant sphere of ice from a distance.
- Ice Block: Partisan (Ice Mass: Both Thorn Pikes): Kuzan creates several spears of ice and then hurls them at the enemy.
- Ice Block: Pheasant Beak (Ice Mass: Violent Pheasant Beak): Arguably the source of Kuzan’s nickname. Kuzan releases a massive wave of ice in the shape of a pheasant in a single blast.
