[edit] About Admiral Aokiji
Admiral Aokiji is a sleepy, somewhat lazy fellow, evidenced by the "sleepmask" he constantly wears over his eyes - this is possibly, in a humorous manner, due to the hibernative effects that cold temperatures can place upon living organisms. He even states that he's an upholder of "lazy justice", and always has a relaxed attitude - whether he flirts with Nami, or announces that he's going to kill Luffy's crew. He also tends to enjoy travelling by bicycle, over the top of the ocean.
His logia Devil Fruit powers allow for him to freeze the area and safely cross as well as become living ice, as he is the user of the Hie Hie no Mi (ヒエヒエの実 Ice Ice Fruit). He is called the strongest fighter in the Marines, and the second Marine officer who has defeated Luffy in battle, the first being Captain Smoker.
Aokiji is a loyal follower of the world government (even if he does as he pleases) and carries out his orders, but his sense of justice differs greatly from that of his fellow admiral, Akainus' "absolute justice". Aokiji has been proven to be one of the nicer Marines, keeping one of the World Government's most wanted pirates (Nico Robin) alive just because of an old friendship.
In Japanese fan polls, Aokiji is currently the 16th most popular character.
[edit] Personality and Relationships
Aokiji was good friends with Jaguar D. Saulo. Apparently, one of the reasons that he let Robin go 20 years ago is because of Saulo.
[edit] History
After Nico Robin's apparent betrayal to Sir Crocodile, Aokiji was revealed to have been at least indirectly involved in the incident at Ohara that prompted the Marines to put a price on Robin's head. At that time, Vice-Admiral Kuzan (クザン中将 Kuzan Chūjō, as he was known before his promotion) appears to have been responsible for the deployment of Cipher Pol 9 in pursuit of the "criminal" archaeologists of Ohara. While the full extent of his involvement in the incident has yet to be revealed, it is clear that the destruction of the civilian fleet, ordered by the former Vice-Admiral Sakazuki (now known as Admiral Akainu), came as a complete shock to Aokiji. The original order that had been sent was for all those that had not been involved with the Ohara scholars and the poneglyphs, to be safely transported off the island. However, Akainu's course of action, which was the complete opposite, seemed to genuinely disturb Aokiji. Like many One Piece characters (eg. Smoker, and Jaguar D. Saulo), after witnessing the senseless killing of so many innocent people, it is possible Aokiji came to realize just how low the world government's morals had sunk. This is further hinted at when Aokiji helped Nico Robin to escape via the use of his Devil Fruit powers, telling her that he would be quick to come after her, if he ever felt that she was a danger. Like Smoker, Aokiji seems to follow his own sense of justice. Aokiji also appears to have some connection to Luffy, saying he once "owed a favor" to Luffy's grandfather (later revealed to be the Marines' very own Vice-Admiral Garp). This is also the only time that Luffy has looked scared or shocked. It is currently unknown what the nature of this "favor" was, or what Garp did for Aokiji to incur this debt.
[edit] Recent Chapters
In the current chapters, he was seen in Water 7 talking with Robin secretly. Apparently, Aokiji and Saulo were good friends and 20 years ago, he let Robin go because of his friendship with Saulo. He also said that he intended for everything to end at Enies Lobby, but he didn't expect the CP9 to lose to the Straw Hats. Aokiji left by turning into icy vapor. A while later, he is seen leaving Dock 1 on his bike while eating one of Sanji's kebab. Robin also believed that he is responsible for excluding the Franky Family from the report on the Enies Lobby incident, instead making them out to be innocent civillians who got caught up in all the commotion.
In chapter 438, Aokiji is onboard Garp's ship, mostly because he is to see that Garp follows Sengoku's orders, although he doesn't seem to care much, taking a nap on a (ice?)bed.
