The Elders are greatly concerned about protecting the unbalanced world from the influence of piracy and preserving the World Government's public image, even goes as far as covering up its tyrannical nature and reputation from the general public. They and the rest of the World Government even pay no mind to the atrocities against countries affiliated with them committed by two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile and Donflamingo. While they are publicly the heads of the World Government, in reality, however, the only person they secretly answer to is Imu with extreme loyalty. The Five Elders can make use of a magical transformation circle ability called Abyss.

====
The , translated as the "Navy" in the English translations of the manga and the 4Kids English dub of the anime, are a maritime force under the command of the World Government. Currently the position of fleet admiral, who is the leader of the organization, is occupied by Akainu. The greatest forces are the three admirals, who are currently Kizaru, Fujitora, and Ryokugyu. The corrupted Captain Ax-Hand Morgan (father of Helmeppo) was the first high-ranking officer of the Marines depicted in the series until he was stripped of his status when he was defeated by Luffy.
The Fleet Admiral is the highest rank in the Marines. Aside from Kong, the following are known fleet admirals:
======== , better known as Admiral , is a ruthless Marine officer with the ability of the Logia-type , which allows him to control, create, or transform into magma. Akainu is a firm believer in "Absolute Justice," going as far as eliminating an entire population should an enemy be hidden there. This was first shown when the World Government eradicated Nico Robin's island of Ohara. Akainu destroyed a refugee evacuation ship simply due to the possibility of even one scholar sneaking on board; his logic was that if even one of the scholars of Ohara had escaped with it, the mission would've been a failure, much to the dismay of Aokiji, who called him a fool for overdoing things. During the Marineford war, Akainu ultimately killed Ace shortly after the latter was saved from execution. After Sengoku retires, Akainu wins the position of fleet admiral in a duel against Aokiji after ten days of fighting in Punk Hazard. His appearance is modeled after Bunta Sugawara.
He is voiced at first by Michio Nakao in the earlier parts of the original Japanese version and later by Fumihiko Tachiki in the later parts of the original Japanese version. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Andrew Love.
is a Marine officer and contemporary of Gold Roger who eventually rises to the rank of fleet admiral. The ability of the Mystical Zoan-type allows Sengoku to transform into a daibutsu or a daibutsu-human hybrid. Sengoku is capable of utilizing all three types of Haki. Following the Paramount War, he retires from the service and, against his recommendation to promote Aokiji, is succeeded by Akainu. Although retired from active duty, Sengoku continues to serve in the navy as an inspector general. Two years after the war, he is shown to have mellowed rather considerably due to his lack of responsibilities. It is also revealed that he previously cared for the young Donquixote Rosinante after his brother Donquixote Doflamingo murdered their father, Donquixote Homing. He came to care for Rosinante like a son and was devastated by his death while he was working undercover as a member of the Donquixote Pirates. After Doflamingo's defeat by Luffy, Sengoku learns the truth about the circumstances of Rosinante's death from Trafalgar Law who Rosinante had given his life to protect. Although Law is a pirate, Sengoku allows him to escape because of his connection to Rosinante.
In the Japanese anime television series, he is initially voiced by Takkà  Ishimori, later by Tà Âru à Âkawa. In the Funimation English adaptation, he is initially voiced by Ed Blaylock and later by Philip Weber.
The Admirals are the second highest rank in the Marines. At the beginning of the series, the group of the three Admirals consisted of Sakazuki (Akainu), Borsalino (Kizaru) and Kuzan (Aokiji). After the two-year timeskip, following Sakazuki's promotion and Kuzan's resignation, the group consists of Borsalino, Issho (Fujitora) and Aramaki (Ryokugyà «).
======== , better known as Admiral , is an easygoing marine officer with the power of the Logia-type , which allows him to generate, control, or become light as well as fire destructive beams. Despite his unusually calm and laidback demeanor often leading to absent-mindedness (asking pirates for Sentomaru's direction), he is a highly competent and unforgiving fighter. He is depicted as being conflicted in his missions, befriending Vegapunk whom he had been ordered to arrest for 26 years; his killing of Vegapunk would traumatize him to the point he uncharacteristically lashed out at Sakazuki and caused him to sincerely apologize.
The character's appearance is modeled after Kunie Tanaka. Originally voiced by Unshà  Ishizuka until 2018, he was replaced after death by Ryà Âtarà  Okiayu. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Ray Hurd.
======== , better known as Admiral , is one of the Marine admirals who joined during the timeskip. He has the ability to control gravity through the powers of the Press-Press Fruit, being able to make the environment heavier or lighter. Having blinded himself due to the trauma of numerous atrocities prior to his career in the Marines, he uses Color of Observation Haki to feel what is around him.
He wanted to end the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, which is why in Dressrosa he had a conflict against Donquixote Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law, where he later had to team up with the latter and the Straw Hat Crew to stop Doflamingo's corruption. Despite orders to arrest him, a fight with Luffy made him gain immense respect for the pirate, willfully permitting the Straw Hats' escape to Sengoku's chagrin.
His character appearance is modeled after Shintaro Katsu. In the original Japanese version of the anime, he is voiced by Ikuya Sawaki. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Charles C. Campbell.
======== , better known as Admiral , is the second of the two admirals appointed to their rank during the two-year timeskip, next to Fujitora. He ate the Forest-Forest Fruit, a Devil Fruit power that allows him to generate, control, or become plant life like a forest, trees, and flowers, as well as manipulation of all plant life , whether on a small or massive scale, with vegetation growing wherever he treads. Inter alia, Ryokugyu can summon roots to impale people and objects and then drain them of their moisture and nutrients, which has allowed him to go three years without eating anything the conventional way. While easygoing much like former Admiral Aokiji, Ryokugyu appears to be a supporter of Akainu's brand of Absolute Justice, but he is more prone to destroying those who do not side with his brand of "justice", especially when it comes to the World Government authority, unlike Sakazuki . So, thus the is venturing to Wano to try to bring down Luffy to get his superior's approval. Ryokugyu's appearance seems modeled after Japanese actor Yoshio Harada.
Ryokugyu is voiced by Jun'ichi Suwabe in the Japanese version of the anime. In the Funimation English adaptation, his voice is supplied by Matthew David Rudd.

On the island lives Caesar Clown and his henchmen who have aspects of mythological creatures like centaurs and satyrs, because Trafalgar Law gave them animal parts to replace their wrecked legs; these include Monet and Brownbeard. Dr. Vegapunk once had a laboratory here. It was also where Kaido and King were held prisoner and used as guinea pigs for the experiments there.

Despite his antagonistic relationship with the Straw Hats, he cooperates with Chopper in medicine production and assists in improving his Rumble Balls.

Dr. is a scientist who is immersed in his work. While originally the director of MADS (which also consisted of Buckingham Stussy, Caesar Clown, Queen, and Vinsmoke Judge) before the group was arrested, Vegapunk was brought into the Marines as its head scientist.

Four years later, Vegapunk was saddened when Clover was killed in the destruction of Ohara. Around the time Egghead was constructed, he became good friends with Borsalino, Bartholomew Kuma, his adoptive daughter Jewelry Bonney and Sentomaru.

Edison is voiced by Ryoko Shiraishi in the original Japanese version and by Lindsay Seidel in the Crunchyroll dub.
