Buster Call (GR)

The Buster Call is the absolute military force in both the One Piece world and the Tarasov Universe. However in Tarasov's Universe, Buster Call is referred to as the Marines' strongest division which contains its most powerful ships.

Buster Call in the canon
In both the OP world and Tarasov Universe, the Buster Call is the strongest military possible action possible, and their firepower can destroy islands at once. This is the reason why this is only called upon special circumstances (see process below).

Previously, two Buster Calls had been deployed to destroy the islands of Ohara and Enies Lobby, being the second one has the motive of capturing Nico Robin of the then Straw Hat Pirates around fifty years ago.

Notable Invasions:

 * Around 70 years before the present fanon storyline, Ohara was attacked since its scholars knew how to read Poneglyphs and can decipher knowledge about the Void Century, with its knowledge being banned by the World Government
 * Fifty-two years ago, during the canon's Enies Lobby Arc, Enies Lobby was attacked in order to prevent Nico Robin of the Straw Hat Pirates. This was began as a mistake by Spandam.

During the fifty-year adjustment, the integration of the Marines and the much weaker Ground Forces created the World Army. Thirty-five years ago, the World Government and the Marines, with the collaboration of Doctor Vegapunk and a young, Dressrosan scientist called Mulhacen decided to modernize the Buster Call fleet. Both scientists agreed that the new Buster Call ships are a group of ocean-going steamships.

After two years of tests and repetitive failures, Mulhacen presented the first stable steam-powered, ocean-going prototype of the Buster Call battleship, which is designed to sail even in the seas of the New World.

Notable Invasions:
 * Less than 50 years ago, the Marines attempted to annihilate the island where One Piece is hidden, along with the Straw Hat Pirates. However, the attempt failed and the Straw Hats destroyed all of the ten ships used, one being destroyed by hittimg the Thousand Sunny to a warship.
 * Around 29 years ago, an uninhabited island in the New World was destroyed to test the ships' firepower.
 * Around 24 years ago, a Buster Call attack destroyed Pica Island, which presumably contained a part of the legendary treasure One Piece. However, the presumed treasure was never found and all of the Marine vice admirals was revoked from their position and the Marines, in which two were tried and executed.

Summoning a Buster Call
Like in the canon, the procedure of calling the attack is said to be in the hands of the above, through the Gorosei or the Commander-in-chief. A Buster Call is sent, when one of the above uses a Golden Den Den Mushi by pressing its button. This action immediately sends a signal, received by the Silver Den Den Mushi in the Naval Headquarters, where the island to be destroyed is acknowledged.

The vice admirals
With the integration of the Marines and the Ground Forces, the Buster Call is now referred to a mere Marine organization rather than a term consisting of five vice admirals who are nearest to the target island and were the participants in a Buster Call attack.

Here are the current members who make the organization of the Buster Call:
 * Vice Admiral Coby: He was newly promoted from the rank of rear admiral. He was also the same Coby who was present in the canon storyline, helped by Luffy in the very start of the series and was last reported to be a captain. His Haki, Rokushiki and swordsmanship mastery was said to be the most impressing among the newest members of the post.
 * Vice Admiral Paquito : He was a former pirate who was imprisoned in Impel Down and was granted by the Marines freedom in exchange of service.
 * Vice Admiral McBride : Like Coby, he is also promoted to vice admiral. He has previously served on the position of commodore and his deeds caused him to be promoted to his present post.
 * Vice Admiral Mitsuo: Taisho Mitsuo is the father of the former Marine and Tendokyo Thirteen member Taisho Akagi. Upon Akagi's decision to leave the Marines, he was disappointed both from his resignation and his superior's attempts to imprison him.
 * VIce Admiral Vertigo: He was a rear admiral under the service of a former Vice Admiral who participated in the invasion of Pica Island.
