History[]

Final Saga[]

Egghead Arc[]

When the World Government had ordered to eliminate Vegapunk, Tosa, alongside Jaygarcia Saturn, Kizaru, and eight other Vice Admirals, led a Marine fleet to besiege the island of Egghead.^[1] Before the attack, he had all of the Rokushiki users put on standby.^[3] After the Marines made landfall, he and other high-ranking Marines witnessed Jewelry Bonney stab Saturn and attempted to open fire on her, but Saturn told them all to back down, saying that he would have dodged if he was afraid of her sword.^[4]

Saturn then ordered a Buster Call on Egghead, prompting the Marines to evacuate.^[7] During the attack, the Pacifista under Bonney's command were attacking the ships. The Vice Admirals planned to kill Bonney so they could regain control of the Pacifista, and Tosa reported that he was going after Bonney's group. Before he could get to her, he was struck down by Brogy, leaving him wedged in the ground.^[8]

Following Bonney's escape from Egghead, along with the Straw Hat Pirates and the Giant Warrior Pirates, Tosa and the other Vice Admirals met with Saturn to evaluate the results of their mission. Tosa lamented their failure in capturing the pirates and his fellow officers asked Saturn for permission to pursue them to Elbaf, but Saturn refused, considering Vegapunk's posthumous broadcast a more concerning matter. He then saw Saturn attacking Doberman after he asked whether Vegapunk's message was true or not, and later witnessed in horror the elder's sudden and gruesome death, without knowing its cause.^[9]
