“Shark-Slicer” Bastille · alive · Navy HQ Vice Admiral · posted outside the Corrida Colosseum
Profile
A Navy HQ Vice Admiral nicknamed “Shark-Slicer” (Ch. 717 p. 8), serving under Admiral Fujitora in the Marine deployment around Dressrosa. Posted outside the Corrida Colosseum during the tournament, he is the first to flag that hundreds of eliminated Block A/B gladiators never left the arena, and that fellow Vice Admiral Maynard went in undercover as a contestant on his own and has gone silent. Wields a large bladed weapon (a shark-finned blade/club, per the epithet). Suspicious of “funny business” inside the coliseum.
Arc-by-arc updates

- Named as part of the Navy line that “should have” stopped the gladiators (“thousands of marines down there, plus Vice Admiral Bastille”) before Luffy’s group and Sabo broke through (pp. 15, 18).

- Receives Vice Admiral Maynard’s report that he infiltrated the Corrida Colosseum and “saw the whole thing unfold,” and chews him out — “Who told you to infiltrate the Coliseum, Maynard?! You’re out of order! Lucky to be alive, if you ask me!!” (p. 3).
Dressrosa — trapped offshore by the Birdcage (Ch. 745)
Dressrosa — outside the colosseum; “Lucy” identified (Ch. 729)
- His Marine unit recognizes “Lucy” as Straw Hat Luffy and the Pirate Hunter Zoro outside the Corrida Colosseum, but chooses not to arrest them on the spot — moving against the pirates would only tip off the colosseum’s assortment of villains (pp. 8–9). The crowd IDs him again (“Vice Admiral Bastille”) as Doflamingo descends on the colosseum (p. 15).
