He is Admiral lvl at least regardless of his rank. He is the only marine with a title and it's best defense in the world. That wouldn't sit well with people who are supposedly stronger than him (Vice Admirals). The only people who can go through his defense would be Admirals. The main difference is that Momonga almost got fodderized by Hancock while Sentomaru wasn't (If they had some skirmish off panel). Sentomaru stands out from almost all of the marines.

Neat cover for sure, but I can't help but feel that some characters (particularly Chopper and Mocha) feel a bit out of place there. Like maybe Vergo and Monet (in her snow monster mode) could have taken their places instead..... oh well. I still like the cover, though. And so, here's to hoping that this volume's SBS corner will be a great one! |

^I'm not sure why Sentomaru stuck out for you (his appearance?), but beyond being named he seemed to just be a set-up for a later arc with that one scientist guy (whose name escapes me), and not a looming presence like the admirals, Yonkou or the Shichibukai. That's not to say that I don't expect something good from him, just not something along the lines of one of the three groups I mentioned.
That being said, the real reason to suspect his involvement with the Admirals is the fact that his name contains the kanji for peach which could be a reference to the story of Momotaro from which the Admirals names are derived form. |

But, to each their own. I see no reason to wax poetic about Sentomaru, but I also don't really care, so whatever... Last edited by james0246; 2013-02-25 at 16:17. |

Can anyone open chapter thread for 700?
I have the summary/spoiler, but I can't post it anywhere. AP just went dead due to people F5ing it, and looks like OneManga is dead too. ASuki has a much better backbone than them.

Let's replace Sentomaru with Momonga vs Hancock at Impel Down.. do you see him struggling against Hancock when she tried and petrify everybody? |

Hancock's attack has nothing to do with physical defense (which, as far as we know, is all Sento has), so your supposition is somewhat pointless. (Personally, I am still confused as to how she was able to petrify the Pacifista.)
