In this big world of One Piece, the Buster Call is known to be a superweapon of the Marines. This weapon can obliterate entire nations into dust if summoned. This strong force includes five Vice Admirals and a navy of ten warships, used only in the most unacceptable cases. But not many characters are privileged to call for a Buster Call.
Let’s look into the hierarchies of these tough people and find out why they can use a Buster Call.
Akainu
Akainu became the Marines’ Fleet Admiral after fighting with Kuzan in a long-running fight at Punk Hazard. With the Magu Magu no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that grants him control over magma, Akainu is at the peak of Marine power. Despite having the ability to invoke a Buster Call at any time, Akainu chooses active participation in affairs. To date, he has never resorted to the devastating option.
Fujitora
After the World Military Draft’s timeless leap, Fujitora became an Admiral and possessed the Zushi Zushi no Mi, a fruit that allows him to control gravitational forces. This power enables Fujitora to crush huge meteors, plunging the entire region into a disaster. Although Fujitora can use a Buster Call, his sense of mercy for innocent people has so far kept him from resorting to desperate measures.
Five Elders
As some of the most powerful figures in the World Government, the Five Elders influence a lot of major decisions. Each member, having powers from the Devil Fruit, serves as Gods for the different areas. Enjoying the apex of power, the Five Elders can call the Buster Call at any moment. Previously, the commencement of a Buster Call on Egghead Island was witnessed. This also implies that more such scenarios may arise in the future.
Ryokugyu
Appointed after the fight between Kuzan and Akainu, this newly appointed Admiral Ryokugyu has a weird obsession with impressing Akainu. Additionally, the holder of the Mori Mori no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows control over plant life, Ryokugyu can shape the vegetation to his own liking. Although Ryokugyu has not as yet found a reason to declare a Buster Call, his mercurial personality hints that this might change in the succeeding chapters of One Piece.
Imu
As the mystery lord of the world on Empty Throne in Mary Geoise, Imu is a tyrant ruler. Imu is an heir of the Nerona Family and one among 20 initial members of the World Government whose words are law. Showing no respect for the lives of others, Imu has set large kingdoms on fire with a snap of his fingers. Due to such a cruel attitude, Imu may summon a Buster Call as he has the authority to do so.
Buster Call in One Piece is still a spine-tingling event of devastation, wrecked by the Marines and also the World Government. Although characters such as Akainu, Fujitora, The Five Elders, Ryokugyu, and Imu are able to use this devastating force, others take a thriftier approach, which shows how much it is feared. Throughout the plot, fans are barely able to predict how these characters will manage this tightrope between power and responsibility that changes with every landmark in One Piece’s story.
