Biography

Kuzan (Japanese: クザン, Hepburn: Kuzan)

Kuzan was among the Marine forces present during the incident at Ohara that prompted the Marines to put a bounty on Nico Robin's head. At that time, Vice Admiral Kuzan appeared to have been responsible for the deployment of CP9 in pursuit of the 'criminal' archaeologists of Ohara. He was one of the five Vice-Admirals taking part in the Buster Call on Ohara. During the attack, the destruction of the civilian fleet, ordered by Vice Admiral Sakazuki, came as a complete shock to Kuzan. The original order that had been sent was for all those who had not been involved with the Ohara scholars and the Poneglyph, to be safely transported off the island. However, Sakazuki's course of action was the complete opposite. Kuzan then froze Jaguar D. Saul using his Devil Fruit powers. He helped Robin to escape via the use of his Devil Fruit powers, by freezing a trail in the ocean for her boat to sail safely through. Before her departure, he warned her that he is not her ally despite this one assistance, and would be quick to come after her, if he ever felt that she was a threat. As part of his plot in saving Robin, Kuzan froze Spandine's ship's rudder, but regardless, Spandine saw Robin and had her marked for capture. Kuzan seemed troubled when he was present at the meeting between the Marines and Spandine.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Kuzan was a male human with tan skin who was incredible tall and slim yet maintained a muscular build. It was shown that he had black curly hair that was cut to chin length that fanned out at the tips. Whilst with the Marines, he operated under the code name of Aokiji (青雉, Aokiji?, literally meaning "Blue Pheasant"). His standard outfit while in the Marines consists of a white buttoned-up vest with standing collar over a long-sleeved navy-blue shirt, with matching white trousers and black dress shoes. This is all rarely accompanied by a matching white suit jacket.

Kuzan is a very laid-back man, showing no shock or surprise from almost anything. His lack of interest and 'Lazy Justice' (だらけきった正義, Darakekitta Seigi?) often leads others to believe he cannot possibly be a Marine of such a high ranking, which causes them to underestimate him, making him all the more dangerous. However, if he deems a situation worthy, he will take action. During the Whitebeard War at Marineford, Aokiji grudgingly shredded his usual lax and friendly nature, for a more ruthless and aggressive personality, repeatedly targeting Whitebeard himself with his Hie Hie no Mi, managing to severely injure "Diamond" Jozu and generally hampering any attempts at rescue or escape for the invading pirate fleets.

Powers and abilities

Kuzan would come to eat the Hie Hie no Mi (ヒエヒエの実) that was a Logia (自然ロギア系, Rogia-kei)-type Devil Fruit (悪魔の実, Akuma no Mi). This allowed him the user to create, control, and transform into ice at will, turning them into a Freezing Human (氷結人間, Hyōketsu Ningen?).
