Sakazuki

Sakazuki, commonly known by his alias Akainu,[1] is the currentMarine fleet admiral, and the successor of Sengoku.[2] During the first half of the series, he was one of the three admirals,[3] and the last one to be fully revealed [6] before ascending to the position of fleet admiral after defeating Kuzan in a ten-day duel that left Punk Hazard in its current state.[7] One of his first decisions was to relocate the Marine Headquarters into the New World in preparation for the New Pirate Age.[8]
He was first mentioned by Robin during the initial encounter withAokiji.[3] Because of his actions, Akainu was one of the primary antagonists of the Marineford Arc.[6]
Akainu is a strident follower of Absolute Justice, to the point where his extremism prompted a colleague to resign from the Marines.[2]During his tenure as an admiral, he participated in the Battle of Marineford and arguably contributed the most to the overall outcome; his actions include manipulating Squard into stabbingWhitebeard,[9] destroying the Moby Dick,[10] and successfully accomplishing the primary objective of the war by executing Ace.[11] He is also notable for giving Luffy the massive scar on his chest.[12]

Kuzan

Kuzan is an incredibly tall, slim and muscular man, roughly of the same size as the other two admirals Sakazuki and Borsalino,[7] the latter clearly taller than Brook but it seems that he also is shorter than Doflamingo who is 305 cm (10'0") tall. He has black, curly hair cut to chin length that fans out at the tips, tanned skin and an altogether lean, long built.
His standard outfit while in the Marines consists of a white buttoned-up vest with standing collar over a long-sleeved navy blue shirt and matching white trousers and shoes, rarely accompanied by a matching suit jacket [8]. He also wears a yellow tie divided geometrically by black lines and a sleep mask on his forehead. During his preparations for the war against Whitebeard, Kuzan has a white Marine admiral's coat (golden epaulettes and for him being the ice user, blue cuffs) draped over him like a cape, as did the other admirals. He also is seen wearing a green and purple sleep mask at all times two years ago from the present timeline.[9] In contrast to Borsalino and Sakazuki, Kuzan is far younger than his colleagues, being less than fifty years old; altogether, his looks, combined with his manner, make him appear even younger than he actually is.
As a child Kuzan had a grimace on his face. He wore a dirty light blue shirt and a purple pair of shorts with white stripes. He carried an umbrella tied on his back, a bottle of alcohol and a backpack. Also, his hair was curlier compared to his current hairstyle.
In his youth, Kuzan wore a white marine cap and a shirt.

Issho

Issho is a blind man with only the whites of his eyes showing. He has a cross-shaped scar on the left side of his forehead that stretches over both eyes. He has short dark hair, a mustache, and a beard.[1] He seems to be very tall, a trait shared with other admirals.[3]
He sports a Marine coat draped over a purple cloak and a light-purple kimono which is held up by a dark-purple belt, matching the color in his name. Issho wields a shikomizue (a Japaneseswordstick) that doubles as a cane for his blindness and wears geta sandals.

Kizaru

Kizaru is an incredibly tall man, roughly the same size as the other two former admirals Aokiji and Akainu.[7] Kizaru is a middle aged man with a moderate amount of wrinkles on his face, black hair, and a very thin beard.[1] He looks and is in fact older than the other two admirals.
His standard outfit consists of a yellow striped suit with a Marine coat draped over his shoulders like a cape, his arms not in its sleeves.[1] Kizaru also wears pure white shoes, gold-amber tinted sunglasses, and a dark green shirt with a mauve tie under his yellow suit. There is a tiny Black Den Den Mushi on his left wrist, like a wristwatch, underneath the sleeve of his suit. He is generally seen wearing a relaxed grin on his face.[6]
As a child he wore a large yellow striped hat, much like his older self's suit, a yellow vest and he still had his grin that he maintained through out his life. In his early days as a Marine he wore a knit cap with the Marine emblem on it, sunglasses and also a normal Marine jacket with a striped undershirt.

Chameleone

Chameleone is a considerably tall man with a long, pink tongue and bright pink, puffy hair. He wears an open, long, rainbow colored jacket with green pants, on which there is a huge black leather belt, and black shoes. Inside the inner layer of his coat multiple jolly rogers are revealed from various enemy pirates he has defeated in the past. Under his jacket, his slender yet muscular physique can be seen.On his head, he also has a green chameleon-like helmet with orange goggles attached to it. In addition, there is a tattoo on his abdomen that says "Give Me". He also seems to be wearing gold earrings and gold chain attached to his belt.

Izo

Izo is a cross-dressing man who wears a pink and purple kimono. He has a pale complexion and hair tied in a way resembling that of a geisha. He also carries another Japanese-looking, light-red spotted indument tied around his waist.

He has been seen smoking a cigar in all of his appearances.

He wields a jousting lance for a weapon. He also carries a golden heater shield, also with a purple Whitebeard's insignia.
Speed Jiru is very loyal to the Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard, as he was willing to risk his own life in order to save Ace from execution during the war at Marineford.

Atmos

Atmos is a huge man, roughly the size of Jozu, whose choice of clothing he somehow mirrors: he is dressed in sleeveless gray and golden armor, and wears an old-fashioned Asian-themed gray helmet that has bull horns sticking out of it, that makes him resemble a water buffalo, as per his epithet. He has long, mane-like black hair, reaching down to his waist, and his beard is just as long. He has two teeth resembling those of a walrus, but square-shaped and pointing upwards. On each of his arms, he bears a purple tattooed silhouette of Whitebeard's jolly roger.

Haruta has a crop of short brown hair, blue eyes, and is fairly short. Haruta wears a green and white 16th century style ruffed outfit with white tights and carries a saber whose handguard resembles the ruffs of Haruta's shirt.
Haruta was loyal to Whitebeard, and wanted to save Ace at Marineford. Haruta cried when Ace died, showing that Haruta cared for him.
As the commander of the 12th division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Haruta has authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. Haruta is presumably very strong: this statement was bolstered when Jinbe remarked that all of the Whitebeard commanders have great strength.

Kingdew

Kingdew is a large tanned man with short blonde hair and hollowed-out cheeks. He wears a pair of long, armored blue gauntlets. He also wears a brown cape that he seems to have pierced to his shoulders, and black and golden yellow striped pants tucked inside simple boots, with a light blue sash around his waist. On the right side of his chest there is a large, elaborate tattoo, which seems to incorporate a dark blueWhitebeard's iconic mustache in it. 

Curiel

He has loose grayish pants tucked inside standard boots, and he carried a sword befitting his size at one point.
Twenty-years before the start of the series, Blenheim wore the same kind of outfit but had a black beard.

Namur

Namur appears to be a shark fishman, as evidenced by his shark-like teeth. His teeth stick out of his mouth from his lower jaw similar to Jinbe, but unlike Jinbe he has three small teeth on each side instead of one large. He also has three pairs of gills on his neck.
He is somewhat short and rotund in shape, and his hair is arranged in spikes pointing upwards, similar to Gekko Moriah. He has the number "8" tattooed to the left side of his neck to represent the division that he leads. He also wears a white t-shirt with sky blue sleeves with the star logo for the Criminal brand (colored orange) on his chest. Due to his legs not being visible in the manga, in the anime he was given standard grey pants held up by a belt. Also in the anime, he is also seen with a gray shark fin protruding from his back, and no shoes.

Rakuyo

Rakuyo is an average-height man with dark blonde dreadlocks. He has a mustache that consists of two straight points angled diagonally. He wears a typical outfit consisting of a yellow coat with green linings, a green vest under an unbuttoned shirt, a standard light green pirate sash, square-patterned pants, and standard boots.

He wears a semi-open dark blue shirt with a white diamond stripe pattern near the top that reveals some of his hairy chest, as well as a cape that matches the color of his shirt and white gloves. He also wears light blue pants with a belt that holds two sword sheaths, one on each side. He wields two sabers, one in each hand.
During Ace's flashbacks, he was shown with shorter hair and wore different attire, consisting of some sort of open jacket and his trademark hat. He did not wear gloves then. He also appeared much slimmer and less muscular than he currently is.
Vista was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates 22 years ago and had his trademark mustache and top hat then as well.

Thatch

Thatch was a tall man with a brown pompadour hairstyle, which went to a point at the back of his head, and a black goatee around his chin. He also had a stitched scar running down his face, around his left eye, reminiscent that ofGarp.

Initially in the anime, he was given blonde hair spiking out rather than being arranged in a pompadour, had a white foulard, wore a blue shirt and gray pants with a sword on his right hip. Later in the anime, he was given a different color scheme; his hair was changed to orange brown, his foulard became yellow, and his entire uniform changed to a much lighter blue, with his shirt and pants the same color.

Jozu is a big, very muscular, broad-chested, heavily-armored and dark-skinned man, called a giant by Crocodile. Even when standing in a hunched position, he is roughly twice Crocodile's height. He has a long face with black stripe-like patterns for a beard and hairstyle. His legs are relatively thin in comparison to his muscular arms. He appears battle-hardened and has a perpetual scowl on his face. The dark armor he wears and his hair style are very similar to that of an Aztec warrior, with red-bolted darl shoulder pads (the bolts were later changed to gray). On his chest he has a green cuirass, whose front and back portions are connected by metal straps that go over both his collarbones. The cuirass' color was later changed to a rusty red color. Around his waist there is a big, elaborated golden belt, worn over what looks like a green skirt similar to the ones worn by Aztecs, with golden decorations near the edge. He also wears what look like studded, black and gold large-buckled shoes or boots and matching black studded pants. During the battle at the summit, he lost his right arm.
