Ryokugyu’s Former Role as a Police Officer and His Criminal Record
Ryokugyu Aramaki, a loyal follower of Fleet Admiral Akainu Sakazuki, is notorious for his aggressive tendencies, such as disobeying orders to seek praise and declaring “non-affiliated nations have no human rights.”
Before joining the Navy, Ryokugyu was a police officer in the Taya Kingdom, located in the South Blue.
The Taya Kingdom’s details are sparse, but it’s likely a World Government-affiliated nation.
Previously, it was speculated that Ryokugyu’s background as a non-affiliated native shaped his extreme views. However, it’s also possible that the Taya Kingdom, like the Goa and Sorbet Kingdoms, had a strict class system that influenced his radical mindset.
Ryokugyu’s criminal past reportedly involves an incident involving a woman. Despite being a police officer, he was arrested and imprisoned.
This incident may tie into the “Dead River Double Suicide” tattoo on his body. Perhaps Ryokugyu fell in love with a princess or noblewoman, leading to a scandal in the class-conscious Taya Kingdom.
Ryokugyu’s straightforward nature and unchecked desires suggest he couldn’t suppress his feelings in such a situation.
His imprisonment, where he was likely denied food, explains his boast about fasting for years. His flirtatious remarks in Mary Geoise also align with this backstory.
Despite his criminal record, Ryokugyu’s extraordinary strength led to his recruitment during the World Conscription, directly promoting him to Admiral.
