One Piece is a pirate-themed story serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. In the world of One Piece, there are not only pirates, but also the Navy, which tries to crack down on pirates and protect world peace. There are several ranks in the Navy, and the higher you go, the stronger the people are. In this article, we will introduce the ranks of the Navy in the world of One Piece and the members of the Navy who belong to them in detail.
What are Navy ranks?
The Navy ranks are divided into quite fine categories. From the top, there are Marshal, Admiral, Vice Admiral, Rear Admiral, and Brigadier General, and below that there are Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Captain, First Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, Warrant Officer, Sergeant Major, Sergeant, Corporal, Private First Class, Private Second Class, and Jailer. The Navy is divided into many fine ranks, but in the actual world of One Piece, most of the characters are at the rank of Colonel or above. Most of these characters also started out as Jailers, but were promoted based on their abilities and capabilities. In pirate terms, a Colonel would be considered to be at the level where they would have a bounty of tens of millions. And when you reach Vice Admiral or Admiral, you have the same abilities as a so-called New World level pirate, who boasts a bounty of tens to hundreds of millions of berries.

【One Piece】Navy Rank Summary
This time, we introduced the ranks of the Navy in One Piece and each character. From a global perspective, the Navy acts as a righteous organization that protects peace from pirates. Some people actually act in this way, but some of them join forces with pirates or act cruelly with the motto of excessive justice. As a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, they are enemies, and it can be said that they are people you do not want to get involved with.
