Vice Admiral Dalmatian[3][2] is one of the many Marine vice admirals to have participated in the Summit War of Marineford.

Appearance[]

With his Devil Fruit powers active, Dalmatian takes the form of a muscular, bipedal dalmatian-human hybrid. The top part of his head from his nose up and his arms and legs are that of a dalmatian: a white dog with black spots all over the body. He also has a long tail. However, the bottom half of his face is human just like most of Zoan users, and he has a blonde-white beard on a wide chin. His torso and neck also seem to remain human. He has yet to be seen in his default human or full dalmatian forms.

As a marine recruit, he had a standard marine cap and his face only had stubble on his chin with his Devil Fruit powers active.

Like all other vice admirals and other high ranking officers, he wears a double breasted suit, dress shirt, and a tie, with a Marine jacket draped loosely over his shoulders like a cape. His suit, in particular, is dark green in color. He wears a light red shirt underneath, with a darker red tie.

Personality[]

As a Marine, Dalmatian has a strong sense of justice. It is unknown whether he believes in moral justice or absolute justice.

Abilities and Powers[]

As a Marine vice admiral, Dalmatian is capable of responding to a Buster Call alongside four other vice admirals.[4] He also has command over lower-ranking subordinates.

Devil Fruit[]

Dalmatian has eaten an unnamed Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a dalmatian. Using this, he can increase his fighting abilities and physical strength greatly, and can combine it with his Rokushiki style.[5]

Dalmatian Shigan

Dalmatian stabs Luffy using Shigan.

Dalmatian has access to the Rokushiki martial arts style and he has demonstrated the techniques Soru and Shigan, allowing him to move at incredible speed and pierce his opponents with his finger, respectively. The powers of his physical techniques are further enhanced by his Devil Fruit transformation. His Shigan has also been enhanced by the sharp nail point added to his finger, allowing him to pierce Luffy's rubber body.[5]

Haki[]

It was stated that all vice admirals possess Haki,[6] so Dalmatian can also use the ability.
