Bluegrass is a Marine Vice Admiral and one of the nine that took part in the Egghead Incident.[1]
She serves as a minor antagonist in the Egghead Arc.
Appearance
Bluegrass is a short, old woman with a large amount of wrinkles and light hair arranged in a bowl cut and pigtails. She wears flowery pants, a tie, sunglasses and a pair of headphones. Like many Marines, she wears her sailing coat draped over her shoulders.[4]
Personality
Bluegrass highly values the military power of the Marines. She cares about her subordinates and prioritizes their well-being during missions.[4] She also cares enough about freeing captured allies during missions even if it is not of the utmost importance.[5] In the event that valuable military assets of the Marines fall into the hands of an enemy, she will become frustrated and prefer not to damage these assets.[6]
She views the giants as strong and troublesome opponents, partially based on her knowledge of Jaguar D. Saul's strength back when he worked for the Marines.[7]
Relationships
Tsuru
Bluegrass and Tsuru appear to have a very close relationship, with Tsuru considering Bluegrass like an older sister.[8]
Abilities and Powers
As a Vice Admiral, she has authority over lower-ranking Marines.
Devil Fruit
- Further information: Nori Nori no Mi
Bluegrass ate the Nori Nori no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to overtake and control anything she rides on. With this power, she can override the established command hierarchy of a Pacifista Mark III unit by riding on its back.[4]
Rokushiki
In the anime, Bluegrass has displayed the ability to use the technique Geppo, which she used to travel from her battleship to Egghead.[9]
Haki
As all Vice Admirals possess Haki,[10] Bluegrass can also use the ability.
History
Final Saga
Egghead Arc
When the World Government had ordered to eliminate Vegapunk, Bluegrass, alongside Jaygarcia Saturn, Kizaru, and eight other Vice Admirals, led a Marine fleet to besiege the island of Egghead.[1] Before the attack, she instructed her subordinates to focus on releasing the Cipher Pol agents that were captive under York.[5] After arriving on the island, Bluegrass used her Devil Fruit power to take control of PX-III 046 and rode atop it into battle. Because of her ability, it was not affected by Atlas' order. When Jewelry Bonney was located in the Fabiriophase, Bluegrass commanded the Pacifista to fire a laser beam, but Sanji saved Bonney from the attack and carried her to the Vegatank.[4]
As the Pacifista fired on the Marines due to Bonney having top command hierarchy of them, Bluegrass expressed annoyance of having to fire upon them as it would only hurt their military power. When the other Vice admirals discussed on what to do and who should kill Bonney, Bluegrass took control of a Sea Beast Weapon and hitched a ride on it along with Doll to deal with the Giant Warrior Pirates who arrived on the island. Bluegrass inquired on if Doll ever fought a giant before prompting Doll to reveal over 20 years ago she worked under the Giant Vice Admiral Saul, prompting Bluegrass to comment on how he was strong back in the day.[11] Bluegrass watched in shock when the rest of the Five Elders arrived at Egghead.[12]
Eventually, the pair made it back to the island, and moved in to confront the Giants, who were attempting to make their escape with Luffy and his allies. Bluegrass used the Sea Beast Weapon she was riding to shoot a laser into the Giant's ship, dealing significant damage to the hull.[13] Despite their attempts, she and Doll would both be easily dispatched by Bonney via being de-aged to children. Bluegrass herself commented on the incredible nature of Bonney's ability.[14]
After the Straw Hats and Giant Pirates escaped Egghead, the Vice Admirals met with Saturn about what to do next. Saturn explained that their biggest concern was not the pirates, but that Vegapunk's broadcast had reached the world. However, Saturn's body suddenly started withering away by Imu's powers. The Vice Admirals tried to help him, but his body subsequently exploded with only his skeleton remaining.[15]
