One Piece : A Tale of Two Tides

IC

A Tale of Two Tides, two currents each shifting and thrashing against one another. The shifting motions of the sea carrying their vessels through the most treacherous parts of the world. A story of two pirate crews intertwined by destiny, their voyages inevitably crossing paths in search for their goal of One Piece, the treasure left behind by those of the Lost Age of Pirates. None have ever claimed its contents, nor has anyone deciphered what One Piece may be. Historical clues show the World Government may know more about what happened during the Lost Age of Pirates, but none will know for sure until a worthy group of pirates put together the pieces of history and maps out the flow of time itself.

And this brings us to our pair of pirate crews.

The Black Crow Pirates... Started during the first age of Pirates by a man named Edward Teach, the first Black Crow. A pirate from the Crow Islands in the South Blue. The Crow Islands were famous for being a migration point for crows from all Blues. Edward Teach made a method of recruiting most of his crew from the Crow Islands, and until the day he died he was one of the most feared pirates of his era. Eventually though the Black Crow Pirates disbanded... But Edward Teach had a son. A son name Seito Kuro. He had married August Kuro in secret, and when he died his son adopted his mother's name in order to protect him. For years the legend of Seito Kuro was like that of any child on the Crow Islands.

Pirates eventually made their home on the Crow Islands, former members of the Black Crow. Telling legends of their famous Captain, they drew the fascination of the young Seito who dreamed of being like the famed pirate. Eventually the remnants of the Black Crow agreed to bring Seito with them on a small trip with his mother's permission. During that trip Seito found the Sever Sever fruit among the wreck of a small trade vessel, and devoured it in hunger.

At the age of 19, Seito set out from the Crow Islands, still filled with dreams of being a pirate. He set out into the South Blue, discovering Rolling Stone Island, a place where several bandits had been tracking an Ex-Marine. That man was James Devon, and became Seito's first Crewman. Eventually the crew expanded to involve Yuma Ichigawa, Coral Fay Tayo, and Jason Triden. The crew of the Black Crows had been formed.

The Crew made itself infamous in the South Blue. With the first true act to gain a bounty was the defeat of Baron Smutz, a man known as the Hundred Eyes Overseer. His defeat brought the crew their first bounty. Eventually they made their move to the Grand Line, where the made themselves famous yet again. From the sinking of the Red Cliffs Island, to the burning of the Marine Base at the East Gates of Peace, the crew continued to grow.

Sunfire Pirates, The Beginning


Everything was black, nothing was connecting and his brain had suffered brutal trauma. His mind felt disconnected from his body, an out of body experience some might call it. Flares of images rushed into his brain reminding him of the pain he felt not to long ago. ”Wake up....Wake up....WAKE UP!” a voice shouted trying to raise Sol from his comatose. Nothing was working, his life was slipping into the depths of the ocean where he would simply become another “Pirate Tale”. The voice came back stronger than before while his brain became more agitated, whether it was from the blond loss or the nerves contacting the brain, he did not know. More and more images scurried around in his head, more violent and profound than before. Blood, death, the smell of fish; It was all coming back to him while the pain grew excruciating! Finally, like a explosion at it's climax everything rushed to a quite murmur and then the image of a Grey murky skinned shark with robust sharpened teeth and then with a focus on they eyes the monster bellowed out a blood curdling roar. Awake, Sol had finally awoken from his comatose, drenched in sweet and his face covered in blood, nothing made sense. Kokoro was in no normal hospital, no, it was more of a fishery where they skinned and prepared. His vision growing from blurry to clear everything seemed to go from bad to worse. Being thrown into the frying pan with nothing but broken memories was not very enticing.


After a few subtle minutes, Kokoro finally regained consciousness and the adrenaline that had kept him awake faded fast. Now the pain that surged through the left side of his face cascaded into that of a razor blade cutting beneath the skin. Attempting to sit up, his movements were restricted by a pair of chains that had been cupped tightly around his wrists. This wasn't any ordinary hospital or fishery, it was a prison for humans. His strength sapped he couldn't channel enough energy to break out of his bonds, all he could do was wait. Suddenly a fishman busted through the door, plump and gargantuan in nature. The fishman introduced himself as the pufferfish fishman and Kokoro had been sold into slavery. Kokoro was ripped from his bed and brought outside where a large forge was located, the pufferfish pinned Kokoro to the ground while he heated up a piece of steel until it was scolding hot and glowing orange. Kokoro's eyes widening he knew what was to come, the pufferfish ripped the bandages off of his face and applied the heated metal to his face applying pressure as to cauterize the wound. Kokoro almost on the verge of passing out remained cringing in pain. The newly found scar was a horizontal cross the reached from across the bridge of his nose and vertically from his eyebrow down to his chin. Over the next few weeks Kokoro was nursed back to full health and was constantly tortured by the fishman until he did everything they asked on whim. Kokoro endured the pain for he was recollecting his memories of the past. Finally he had put everything together, that man...no that fishman killed his parents and sold him into slavery. Pirates were ruthless.


His personality shifting from grief and ambiguity sharpened into rage and vengeance, the catalyst that would alter serve as his drive to find 'One Piece'. Kokoro strapped in his steel chains simply touched the cold steel until the texture began to infuse with his skin and travel up his body, coating him head to toe in steel. Standing up he ripped the chains from his body and made his way out of the slave pens. However at the same time triggering the alarm. As the fishman poured in Sol disposed of them one by one using his devil fruit. He ripped through their skin with his bare hands, cutting them down with a single palm. Finally he made it to the pufferfish fisherman, the one who had started it all. Blowing up the pufferfish charged at Sol, he simply turned to the side sent a roundhouse kick to his chest, crushing his bones and then ripping out his quills and stabbing them into the fishman's own body. Kokoro left the slave pens naked and covered in blood as he walked away from the now exploding prison. On his journey out of the fishman district he was picked up by a rogue group of pirates who heard of his escape, thinking he was a kin to their ideals they showed him to a young fishman being tortured by said pirates. This torture had been going on for weeks now as they slowly eroded his virility.


How long has it been since I was on this ship?...It felt more than three weeks or has it been a month already? A year? I don’t know anymore…Why do humans hate fishmen so much?... Tash thought as his mind was distorting into madness. The door opened and the sunlight he yearns to see again was blocked by a shadowy figure, but he knew who it was. It was one of those pirates coming in for his daily torture, but what came to his surprise was another lad who stood behind him. Could today be something special? Usually one different person will come in each day, but not two. Was he new? He thought as his blank eyes stared at the stranger and the familiar pirate. His body was covered in old cuts, bruises, burn marks, and dry blood. Tash’s clothes were old and cut into pieces, it smelled like he has not bathed in awhile.

“Watch this little freak scream for more pain! Back when we first got him he was crying his ass off!” The pirate stated as he grabbed a wooden club that was sitting on the table covered in dry blood. The pirate walked over to the little fishman having a firm grip of the club in his hands. This guy looked like he was not going to hold back just because the fishman is a kid. A loud thump could be heard as the pirate bashed Tash’s head with the club making his head go down with his hair covering his face and blood dripping down from the fresh cut on his head.

Tash smirked showing his sharp teeth and looked up the pirate with new eyes, eyes that looked like it desired more pain “You call that torture?! Use a spiked club! Or a gun even! Give me the ultimate pain!! That guy over there looks like he has more balls than you!!” He shouted, maybe it was his plea for help or that he actually enjoys it. He had no other choice, but to accept this current lifestyle of his; thinking it was going to be like this forever.

The pirate was rather robust in stature and his language was select he was the stereotypical pirate that marketed the others for war criminals and pillagers. He was being led down a narrow hallway with one door at the end as they drew closer Sol could smell the reminiscent smell of fish and blood. When the door opened sunlight immediately poured in filling every crevice in the room until the sun beamed on the face of the prisoner. It was a fishman indeed, younger than Sol himself by a few years but he had scars over scars and fresh cuts from old wounds. Blood was filling the floor quickly and he boy was growing quite pale as his well being was being flushed down the toilet. “How did this shark manage to become a guppy?” Sol asked as his eyes began to fill with fires of old and rage that was intoxicating. ”Ah we caught this little shit swimming out of the fishman district. A real fighter he is, but don't worry that's why I'm here.” those words made the chasms in the mind of Sol erupt to a breaking point, however his exterior was stark clean as if he was unphased. Sol carried himself well and even though this young-in was a fishman his hate and bias was spared from this one, for he was....different. You can't judge someone until you walk in their shoes right?


The pirate grabbed the club that had been drenched in the same blood that was sprinkled on the young boys face. With a sudden jerk the pirates hand release the club at full throttle laying the fishmans skull to rest. The sight was bitter, but Sol couldn't make his rebuttal without getting the two of them killed. So he watched on as fresh blood poured from the forehead of the young fish. ”“You call that torture?! Use a spiked club! Or a gun even! Give me the ultimate pain!! That guy over there looks like he has more balls than you!!” Sol smirked and looked at the pirate “He's right. Let me have my chance.” Sol said as the fat pirate laughed and bowed in respect to Sol. Strolling over behind Tash he looked at his bound hands as he touched the steel on his belt letting his hand form into steel. With a wind up of his left hand he brought down an open palm hitting tash in the back of his head, the force of the blow was average to the sighy of the pirate, but halved on the impact Tash would receive. While his beating kept the pirate distracted his other steel hand had removed the bindings. “You're going to be beaten wihtin an inch of your life.” Sol said before getting close enough where his lips were inches from Tash's ears. Then he whispered “Don't make a move till I leave”.


With that Sol moved back to the side of the pirate “I'll wait for you outside. Make sure he begs for mercy.” the pirate was grim faced know as Sol left the two alone in the cell. Now it was Sol's turn, removing his clothes he touched the concrete walls coating his entire body in the material. Hell was about to freeze over.


The fishboy glared at the stranger thinking he was just like everyone else on the ship who takes joy of beating up fishmen children for fun. Tash closed his eyes and lowered his head once more preparing for whatever strength he possesses. When the first blow connected his eyes widen figuring out that the stranger was holding back, he tried to look up at him but the stranger’s hand kept his head lowered. What’s with this guy? Why is he holding back on a fishman? Is this his way of torture? I don’t like it one bit… He thought keeping one eye on the stranger watching him carefully. Then the young fishman felt his restraints coming loose. Don’t make a move till I leave. The stranger whispered to him as he told the pirate that he was leaving. Does this guy have a death wish? If they find out then they will kill us both! I have to get out of here fast! But first… Tash thought smirking as he waited for the next opportunity to get revenge on the current torturer.

“Very well then.” The pirate laughed as he enjoyed the sight of the new member having his fun with the prisoner. “Now then…where did we leave off?” The pirate turned to the young fishman dropping the wooden club as he went over to grab the iron spike club that was on the same table where he got the wooden one. “You asked for it and now you will get it!” The pirate shouted in joy as the club was coming down towards Tash’s head. Now was the time to act, the fishboy pushed against the wall he was once bounded to and skidded between the pirate’s legs. “What the hell?!” The pirate exclaimed surprised by the unexpected. He quickly turned to face Tash but before he could rotate all the way around, he was slashed up by one of the weapons that were once used on the fishboy that resembles the weapon he uses now. The pirate collapsed from the fatal blow and dropped his club on the ground. The young fishman looked at the exit panting heavily having getting off a load of stress he had built up for a long time. It has been a long while since he had felt freedom before…and it was time to exercise that freedom against the pirates who tortured him throughout their trip.

Tash walked towards the exit as he covered his eyes from the bright light he missed so much, it reminded him of when he first made it to the surface after being forced to live in the dark corner of the ocean. The tip of his weapon was being dragged against the wooden floor leaving a trail as he was walking towards the deck of the ship.


While the boy was planning to win the battle against the pirates Sol had already started the war. Sol bore no sympathy for the pirates nor the sound he was making, in fact he wanted the sound to be thunderous as thunderous as the raging sky's above them. The pirates rushed down the hallway in bulk, all fitted with rifles and swords. To their shock it was Sol and sol was only one man, so they laughed and then charged all at once. By now the hallway was clogged and there was no escape besides forward. Sol scoffed still made of concrete, he bull rushed into the fray with no remorse or regret, like a vicious wolf Sol plowed through the men. He cut through countless pirates spewing the contents of their stomachs out onto the floor, he even had time to grab two swords and infuse his skin with steel. Snapping off the hilt and guard of the blade he took three swords, one in each hand and a small dagger sized blade in his mouth. Sol created fresh new cuts and gashes on each of the pirates for every cut and scar they had given Tash. The congregation soon moved their chants of victory and laughter to that of screams of sorrow and despair. However the pirates remaining on the dock would not have this type of betrayal amongst pirate ranks. The pirate ship fired a cannon ball straight at Sol and Tash's prison. The ball ripped through concrete and pillars of wood creating rubble and splinters.

Sol was unharmed and unscathed but now he had touched the cannon ball gaining it's iron qualities. Heaving the massive ball onto his chest, Sol mustered all his strength and sent the cannon ball back towards the ship delivering a money shot. The ship no destroyed the pirates filtered out into the sea where they would stay afloat. Now in the open area Sol stood still smiling do to the joy of freeing another prisoner. Moments later Tash arrived at his side where he too wanted to have some fun, “Well I can't go in the water, but I'm sure as hell you can.” Sol winked pushing Tash forward.


When Tash arrived to the scene, he looked at all of the destruction and there stood the one man responsible for all of the chaos he heard while he was making his way to the deck. The fishman stared at the stranger silently, This one guy took out the whole crew? Who-No, what the hell is he?... He thought as his attention went towards the remaining pirates in the water. Well I can’t go in the water, but I’m sure as hell you can. The stranger said as he pushed Tashed into the water.

The water splashed in front of the pirate’s eyes as they know what was coming to them, they all panicked knowing their defeat and begged for their lives. One by one each pirate would get dragged into the water and then their bodies would float back up covered in blood and wounds. Each one more cut up than the last that showed how much Tash has been yearning for this moment. His insane laughing could be heard each time he cut up a pirate underwater “How do you like that?! You filthy humans can’t deal with a fishman in the water! You guys should’ve killed me when you had a chance!” He shouted happy that he was finally free. When he was done with all of the pirates in the water he jumped back onto where the stranger was located and stared at him silently. “I thought all humans hated fishmen…yet you saved me from your own kind. Th-…Th-…You are one badass motherfucker!” He stated not being what he originally wanted to say, he wanted to say ‘thank you’ but he just could not get the words out of his mouth. His compliment was the best he could do to show his gratitude towards him, even if the stranger was a fishman his comment would not be any different, it was just how he was raised.


“How do you like that?! You filthy humans can’t deal with a fishman in the water! You guys should’ve killed me when you had a chance!” Watching Tash go to work was like watching a kid learning how to swim for the first time, it was beautiful. Well despite the blood and guts getting torn limb from limb, by the end of his rampage the water was a murky crimson red with body's floating like life rafts. The young fishman came back to shore after his spree and simply fell silent, Sol was intimidating, but he never figured he was that scary. “I thought all humans hated fishmen…yet you saved me from your own kind. Th-…Th-…You are one badass motherfucker!” Sol started laughing bashfully hearing the young boys words. “Well I'm not a regular human, And besides I have bigger fish to fry.” Whether the sharkboy would understand the hidden context was up to him, but once he felt the refreshing words of the fishman he knew from that moment on he wanted to form a pirate crew. Sol extended his arm out now only made of flesh “My name's Sol, Do you want to be part of my Pirate Crew?” Sol said smiling.

Tash kept his eyes on the stranger who introduce himself as Sol and wanted to start a pirate crew. A pirate crew?...Does that mean I get to do stuff like this all the time?... He thought smirking at Sol showing his teeth. The determined look on his face was strong “Bigger fish to fry huh? Human or fish, you can count me in! I will slice up and shred our enemies into pieces!” He stated grabbing his hand in agreement having a firm grip for a child. “The name is Tash! I accept your bloody offer Sol!” He said closing the deal and licked his own blood that dripped from his forehead.

The Bandit Hunter

Rue was at the bar, sipping on a beer. Her 3 swords were with her of course, they never left her side. She was looking down at some wanted posters, in need of money so she could get by for another month. "Hey, you see that woman over there?" said a man that was at the far side of the bar. Even so his voice was hushed and he was located at the far side of her, Rue could still hear him. Another man answered, "Yea, isn't that the Bandit Hunter? What the hell is she doing in a place like this?" "Probably trying to find another job. She's been frequenting this place for a few days now, so she might be low on money." Might be? She was always low on money, all bounty hunters are. As she was flipping through the wanted posters, she found hers. "They raised it again? Man, was a pain. But, I doubt the Marines will raise it higher since I'm no real threat. So long as I stay a bounty hunter that is." she thought.

She finished her small glass of beer and asked for another.The doors to the bar slammed open, revealing two huge men with weapons. With smirks on their faces and a paper in their hands they walked in. The one with a short stubble and glasses called out, "Isn't there a woman around here? Some bitch called the Bandit Hunter." Rue took no notice and kept looking through the wanted posters. She didn't want any trouble, but it always seemed to find her. The second man wore a large hat along with a fancy suit to compliment it and walked up to the bar, sitting himself a seat away from Rue. She didn't give him so much as a glance and continued to look through the posters. The man looked at her and smirked, "So, you're suppose to be this 'Bandit Hunter'? Ha! I expected to see this huge, ugly orge-looking woman but you're nothing but a housewife!" Rue stopped looking through the wanted posters and looked at him, her eyes glaring like an angered tigers. This made the man flinch but he soon recovered as his companion stood behind Rue. "You're just another easy bounty to us. You're not even woth a forth of your bounty though." said the more vulgar man. "And that is the worth I will ever be? A bounty? What about you two? Your bounty's are by far over-estimated. 20,000 beli for the man to the right and 23,000 to the man behind me." she sneered.

Before either of the men could react, she unsheathed one of her katana's, slashed the two's clothes a many number of times, and knocked them out. Once she was done, their clothes were shredded and they were completely rendered in their birthday suits. She grabbed a rope out she'd been carrying and tied them up. "Ossan, use one of their bountys to buy some good beer and sake." she said tonelessly as she walked out of the bar. Once out, she spotted several shady-looking people. She'd heard that this town in particular was known for slave trade, pirates, and other nasty crooks. Apparently the main slave trade was fishmen and people bought them to abuse them. She scoffted at the idea, "Really, the only thing thats different between the two of us is the fact that they can swim better and they're able to breathe underwater. I wonder just how stupid the world really is. Beating people because they're different from yourself.... Jeez."


After rescuing Tash the fishman Sol was in search of a ship and a few more nakama before he could start his adventure. Tash's wounds healed nicely and Sol's scar faded into his skin quite nicely giving off a dangerous vibe. By now he had obtained his official pirate uniform which wasn't very much a uniform. It consisted of a large fur jacket that was similar to the ones the marines wore especially the way he wore it, for the jacket hinged on his shoulder and hugged his collar bones while the sleeves dangled free. He had a cross necklace and just regular white pants with black shoes and a belt. You see he had been hearing of rumors lately around the fishman area of a bounty hunter that was rather fierce for a petite woman that always carried around three swords. Despite her bad credibility Sol didn't see why else he shouldn't approach her. Sol was already in the bar by the time Rue had arrived, he watched from the corner of the bar as she manhandled the other two bounty hunters with quite ease. With that Sol confirmed his own credibility on this light haired beauty. Walking out behind her Sol “So you're the supposed 'Bandit Hunter' I keep hearing of?

Rue stopped and rested her hand on her katana's, "As weak as I may seem, my performance in there should indicate that I hold some skill." She turned around to see a fish man whose wounds were tended for and a man who wore white pants and has a cross necklace. "Yes I am this supposed Bandit Hunter," she said, hinting a bit of irritation, "and I did indeed aquire such a name by hunting bandits. As fragile I may seem, I've cut down many with these swords of mine. Now, what business does a man such as yourself have with a woman like me?" She sighed, just how many bounty hunters are willing to come after her in such a short period of time? Even she needed a break from fights. The aura the man gave off seemed very different from that of a bounty hunters. The fishman behind him gave off quite a frightening one as well but she didn't care. So long as they weren't asking for a fight, she'd be just dandy. Well, for someone who rarely showed expressions.


The bandit hunter seemed quite the stoic character from the way she presented herself, whether it was just a shell to protect her gooey insides were yet to be discovered. "As weak as I may seem, my performance in there should indicate that I hold some skill." Sol was actually more intrigued now as ever. "and I did indeed aquire such a name by hunting bandits. As fragile I may seem, I've cut down many with these swords of mine. Now, what business does a man such as yourself have with a woman like me?" Sol felt the tension swelling inside her as Sol fired away with another question one right after the other. She had been given the misogynist crap all her life and she wasn't about to let another pirate scum bag take her for anything lesser than ace value. Sol was willing to test the waters as he took a step closer to the woman. Sol looked back at Tash and winked, turning back to the girl he took his coat and flung it to the side bringing up his two fists. “Well let's see what you got”

Rue sighed, "Well, you've certainly irritated me." By the stance the man before her took, she guessed that he was an experienced fighter and knew how to hold his ground. She wasn't going to take any chances and pulled out her two katana's. If the man was more skilled than he let off, she'd have to put out her Cutlass. Taking that thought out of her main train of thought, she closed her eyes and took her stance. Rue let out a shallow breath and opened her eyes. Then, she started her attack. She came at him with one sword in front of her and the other was by her side. Once she reached him, she raised her front sword and swiftly pulled it down towards the mans shoulder and torso. With the other katana, she had the backside in front of her stomach, for defensive purposes. "Don't expect any mercy from me since you asked for this." she growled. There was something about this man that threw her off a bit. She didn't know what it was and that irritated her even more.

Sol cracked his fingers while the girl got herself physically and mentally prepared, this probably wasn't going to be an easy fight, but he was probably going to use his abilities off the bat. And so as she drew her swords it seemed she had only drawn two. “This isn't going to be fun if you don’t draw all three.” Sol touched his belt as she started her attack. His fingers grew a dark gray glossy color as it traveled up his arms and throughout hos body. By now his body was made of steel, Sol looked at the Bandit hunter directly in the eye as her blade hit his shoulder only to clash and bounce off, Sol used an open pal aimed at the opposite shoulder reached for only to halve the damage behind it. "Don't expect any mercy from me since you asked for this." Sol smiled “Oh trust me, I'm a big boy.”[/i] Sol removed his pants and his shoes knowing they would only bother him, plus his belt wasn't needed for this fight.

Rue was surprised by tha fact that the man turned into steel. "Oh trust me, I'm a big boy." he said smiling. She sighed, "Well Mr. Big Boy, I'll let you know that I don't fight with three swords at a time. The one on my back isn't for playing around." She knew there was something different about the man; he'd eaten a Devils Fruit. Rumored to come in various types and powers, they were the sea's greatest treasure.If one who was so lucky as to eat one could aquire great power. Rue remembered that he had looked her straight into the eye without and fear. If she were to show emotions, she would've cracked a smile. No ones been able to look straight into her eye without flinching first. This was going to be a fun battle. She came at him again, landing particularly hard strikes onto the steel man. Rue only did this to see the results that were to come. Once she'd striked him enough times, she backed away sheathing one of her swords, "My, aren't you quite the hard head?" This would be a tough fight if she were to not fight seriously and therefore she needed to let her mind wonder as to how he would react next.


“Well I guess you could say play times over. Now come on let me see why they call you the Bandit Hunter” Sol said bravely. Again the swordsman came at him landing a flurry of strike that appeared to just create sparks of the friction and loud clangs from the ricochet. BY now all of the bars patrons had exited to watch the battle go down between the infamous Bandit hunter and this man of steel who was stark naked. “If I didn't know better those strikes only feel like you're tickling me. Now shall we get started for real now?” By now the bar was vacant and the pirates and bounty hunters were outside in a huge crowd that quickly engulfed Tash. Whispers started shooting around ”Isn't that the Famous Bandit Hunter?!” “It is, but who's that naked guy?” “I don't know but he looks like a fool to me” gossip kept clamoring amongst the tongues of plebeians until a paper was scrounged from the bounty book, it appeared the Bandit Hunter wasn't too far off from finding a wealthy bounty before she took care of those two idiots. ”IT'S HIM! It's the Pirate who single handily decimated a pirate crew, escaped from a fishman prison, and rescued that fishman over there. He's worth 250,000,000 beri.” the fear in the voices around the crowd grew astonishingly. “Well it seems like I have a reputation. And if you haven't figured it out already I am quite the hard head.” Sol said knocking on his steel skull before charging at the swordsman at extreme speeds.

Rue glared at the people who crowded them. Less space meant less evading strategies. Then some idiot in the crowd pointed out how dangerous the man before her was. He also pointed out the incredible bounty he had on his head. She knew he was one of the few who had earned it, for he had lasted longer than anyone else she’d been up against. Then he came at her with incredible speed. She took out her cutlass, placed her feet firmly to the ground and braced for impact. She wasn’t going to let some guy she didn’t know take her down easily. She wasn’t going to underestimate it any longer, for that would most definitely be her demise in this situation. "Lemme see what you've got, steel head."

What about to come next would be unpredictable and underrepresented by anyone beyond Sol's status. You see even though Sol can turn into a hulking body of steel or diamond brute force won't win him a fight alone. That is why Sol has learned to combine two very deadly martial arts. The firs martial arts being capoeira a martial art that combines elements of dance and music. The martial art aspect is still subtle and disguised. leading many non-practitioners to ignore its presence. Capoeira is a fast and versatile martial art that focuses on fighting outnumbered or in a disadvantage, the martial arts keeps the user in a constant state of motion as to not become a still easy target while using feints and fakes to trick the target. The second marital art is that of Kung fu and a vast amount of styles, these two combined can create a very powerful and deep rooted way of combat. Leading in after the charge Sol immediately dropped to the ground swinging his body using only his hands to form a leg sweep towards the Bandits legs that was quickly followed up by his upper body pushing himself into a hand stand but only to form a rotating kick. The mixture of velocity and the hard pressed steel would make for a menacing counter attack.

“Shit!” she hissed. Once her legs were off the ground she was at a huge disadvantage. Or so it seemed. Rue heaved her katana into the solid concrete of the street and used her body weight to fling herself away from the man. She quickly regained her ground and was on her feet once more, “If you thought I relied on my swordsmanship alone to defend myself, you’re nothing but a fool.” She hadn’t calculated the extreme speed but it was worth the risk to find out. She pulled out her other katana and came at him once more. She used her katana to block his legs from kicking her and used her cutlass to strike hard onto the softer and more sensitive parts of the male body. She wondered if this would have any effect at all. If not, it would seem that there was only two places where she could try and hurt this guy.

Sol was watching as his body moved like a fluid stream of water, and it appeared the swordsman had her own form of Capoeira or tuition whichever one you preferred actually. Her quick wit and reflexives managed to prevent her from being tumbled by the blows form his steel legs. However she was quite the arrogant one “If you thought I relied on my swordsmanship alone to defend myself, you’re nothing but a fool.” like a hyena stalking it's prey the girl came at him but instead of one sword she used all three. Sol was ecstatic he was finally going to see the full fledged use of her swordsmanship. The two katana's blocked his legs and stopped his movement, now he was practically just making a handstand that left him quite vulnerable. Matter of fact she used this to her advantage trying to aim for his reproductive organs, scared and alert Sol quickly did a push up, bending his elbows and lowering his overall height. With this the sword pass through both legs. With his parts still intact he closed his legs in a vice grip trapping her sword between them. Using his upper body once more he whipped himself around so he would end up on his feet and the momentum would swing her on her butt.

Rue didn’t have enough time to react and landed soundly onto her rump. Her cutlass was between the man’s legs but this gave her an opportune moment. With extreme speed, she used her cutlass as a firm hold and she twisted her body upwards. Her legs wrapped around the man’s neck and she was in a good position to now do three things. She was quite glad that she was wearing gloves, since the next attack would involve something she wouldn’t care to do again. She pulled her body upwards to where she was face to face with the man. She used her free hand to thrust 2 fingers into his steel nose and with her armed hand she aimed her swords at the family jewels. “Care to call this a draw? I want my fingers out of your nose as soon as possible. Besides, being in this position you have the chance to throw me to the ground and crush me into oblivion.” The crowd around them hooted and laughed, "She's got her fingers in that mans nose!" Others yelled, "That Bandit Hunter had it coming to her."

As much as he thought he was flexible it appeared he was vastly out shined by the miraculous Bandit hunter. Much like a python the bounty hunter used her sword yet again as a stepping stone to curl up and around Sol's body. Some might find the scene a bit frisky, others would be intrigued, but Sol was more worried about what he would do next. She was finally face to face with Sol and apparently she was brave enough to stick two fingers up his nostrils and pin his steel jewels with her sword. “Well this would be more ironic if I was made out of diamond. I guess you could call this a draw, you're lucky I don't like smashing pretty girls like you into oblivion. While the crowd yelled and chanted Sol was more occupied with her fingers still in his nose, it was getting quite hard to breath. Instead of asking her Sol figured he'd just turn off his devil fruit and that he did, only did it leave him completely nude in front of crowd and the Bandit Hunter who was still on top of him.

Rue smirked, finally showing some time of expression, “Why thank you for your compliment. You are as smart as you are strong it seems.” Once he had turned back into his nature skin, she found it harder to stay in her current position, not that she cared to stay that way. She retracted her fingers and carefully let go of the man. She landed on her feet and grabbed her cutlass sword, sheathing it. She sheathed her other two swords and took off her dirtied glove, not wanting to have the feeling of unnartually attained warmth on her fingers and stuffed it into her back pocket. Rue then proceeded to grab the man’s clothes and once they were all gathered, she tossed them towards him. “Get dressed. Unless you like being stark naked which I will consider to be quite odd.” She huffed, resting her hands on her katana’s. It was a habit she had and by her relaxed stance, it was seen that she had no intention of fighting any longer. The crowds around her started to talk more and to gossip. “She let him off with that?!” “Man, if I was that guy I would’ve crushed her.” Finally, her short temper which had been getting shorter since her manhandling in the bar exploded. With a sharp glare that would even scare a Sea King, she yelled fiercely, “Go the hell away you pieces of crap!”

He achieved his mission, Rue finally broke the rotten exterior that Rue had been displaying for the rest of the bounty hunters to see. She smirked, it wasn't necessarily the smile he was hoping for, but it was good enough for him. “Now now we pirates can't all be brutes now can we? I mean I like pillaging as much as the next guy, but...you catch my drift.” Hoping to get another crack from being totally naked and her still on top of him, he received nothing although she was slow on the uptake. The male pirates all clapped and whistled while the women scoffed and shielded their eyes and those of their company. Once she got on her feet again she removed her tainted glove and through him his clothes, it almost seemed like a bad break up. “Get dressed. Unless you like being stark naked which I will consider to be quite odd.” Sol laughed, but he did like walking around naked, something the crew wouldn't quite get used to yet. “What? You don't like walking around naked like its your kingdom?” and then the viciousness came back tenfold as the crowd collapsed into a terror. Putting on his underwear, pants, crocodile leather shoes, and diamond sock Sol walked over to the Bandit Hunter and wrapped his arm around her. The height difference was quite astonishing, but nevertheless he kept his body relaxed “So what do you say about becoming one of my Nakama? It will be like a dojo if you're familiar with those.”

Rue chuckled, "I will only parade in the nude once I lose a bet or when I'm bathing." As the man, whose name she still didn't know, got dressed she relaxed a bit more. She didn't know why he had wanted to fight her but she would leave that fact unknown for the time being. The crowds disappeared leaving her with the Devil Fruit man and the fishman. Once the man got dressed, he strolled over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, though he was quite larger than she was. "So what do you say about becoming one of my Nakama? It will be like a dojo if you're familiar with those." A dojo? This perked Rue's interest, "Well so long as no one attacks me during my sleep and that I know you name. I guess being someone's nakama wouldn't be so bad." she said with a shrug. She looked up at the man and held out her right, un-gloved hand, "The name's Rue Anri. Call me Rue because a nick-name would be pointless since I already have one of those. I'll try my best in doing what ever it is you need me to do, Captain." Rue hadn't introduced herself by her name in quite awhile, since everyone addressed her by the Bandit Hunter. She didn't know what the consequences of accepting her new Captian's request would be. All she could do was sit quiet and wait patiently.

Sol's ears perked up when she mentioned that of a bet, “Oh I'll make sure to keep that in mind next time we're making a bet.” As they strolled Tash tailed behind most likely thinking about ripping those pirates to shreds while the two were fighting. Sol shrugged his eyebrows as his eyes pointed upward “Oh that's right I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Sol, Captain of the Sunfire Pirates. What's your name I didn't quite catch it with all the Bandit Hunter title.” Sol grabbed the ladies delicate hand and kissed it as all gentlemen should “Rue it is I'm glad I was able to find the woman hidden under all that beri.”

The Navigator and The Shipwright

There Asch stood at the very dock right outside of his town, waiting for his father to return. His father had gone out to sea to do business as a pirate should. One of the mighty Yonkou. Asch knew it and so did everyone in the town knew, not caring due to how well the Greatest Swordsman in the World kept the town supplied when he was around. "BIG BROTHER!" Vandesdelca screamed out as the young thirteen year old flew right beside his older brother, Asch. "What do you want?" Asch asked whilst watching the horizon which happened to be far darker then it should have been. Van had an uneasy small on face with his response. "Fishy Man Kanbei wants us to get some flower from the mountain garden. He didn't look to happy. Neither did mommy." Van explained. Asch agreed reluctantly knowing that it was probably some crappy training session. Neither boy had no idea what was to come next, not knowing that the darkness on the horizon was the Marine's Power.

It probably had been only an hour since the boys had left from the area, their minds racing with the thoughts of the next day and hoping that their father would be back then. Turning back from happily picking rare flowers, Van tilted his head to the smoke raising from the direction of the town. "Big Brother. Should lots of smoke be coming from Tougo?" Van asked innocently. This caught Asch's attention slowly. His eyes caught on the many trails of smoke raising, almost instantly realizing that something was wrong. He grabbed Van's hand and began to run back with his brother in tow. Fear clogged his mind on what could be going and if their mother was safe. Unfortunately they had arrived an hour too late to the ruin that was now Tougo, the Marine ships slowly moving back. Their force was too much for such a town to handle without Luke, Asch and Van's father, around. Both boys couldn't take the destruction that had come upon their town, a place they had grown up in, trained in and loved. Van yelled for his mother while Asch searched for Kanbei. What they found was not something anyone should be forced to see. Kanbei had been impaled upon several blades and a cannonball laying behind him, a hole through his chest. Their mother had passed long before they found her, crushed under the rubble from the attack. Van screamed out in horror in want for his mother to come back. Asch, on the other hand, could only stare at the edge of the sea with a sick smile on his face.

Sol had been wondering about with his two new shipmates, but how could they be a shipmates if they didn't have a ship? Beyond that problem the other one that they faced was that his crew was comprised of two swordsmen and he couldn't have s hip complied of the sort. Sol thinking to himself he finally figured that he needed a navigator, chef, shipwright, and a doctor. After he obtained those positions he would be able to have a full crew, but that didn't help the fact that he didn't have a ship. Well as fate had it Sol while venturing through countless towns discovered that there was Togou the town that was represented by one of the Famous Yonkou, Luke. Sol figured if he needed a boat someone like one of the four Yonkou could provide him with one, Sol being an upcoming pirate and what not. As Sol and his crew got closer and closer to Togou the sky began to thicken and thicken. The whether has no sign of overcast or a cloud in the sky up until that point.

Drawing closer and closer to the town all Sol saw was 10 naval ships all draped with the Marine logo on the mast of each ship. Everyone knew what the 'Buster Call' was, it was learned from a very early age the significance of one. The realization sent fear into Sol's eyes fear that he had only experienced since the day he was kidnapped from his family. Rushing to the town to help anyone he could it was only futile, the marines had all received the coordinates from the golden den den mushi and fired upon the town. Everything had dropped on a pin drop the only thing that was left to watch was utter carnage. Cannonballs ripped through the town like Swiss cheese, explosions suddenly went up engulfing the town in flames. His ears had been used to this sound, the sound of screams and despair, but not in such waves. And finally after what felt like a century, which in reality was only a few minutes, the marines pulled away leaving nothing but an ashtray behind them. Sol's fist clenching in anger rushed towards the remains of the once legendary town ins search of at least one survivor.

Two crews, each having proven themselves in the past, now set off into the New World, an even more unforgiving and dangerous realm than the initial journey into the Grand Line. Who knows what paths each crew will take, and not if but when the paths will retake… however, big brother is looming in the shadows of our heroes. The World Government has given the title of ‘Supernova’ to the Captains of each crew and their Frist Mates, their faces known worldwide as criminals.

A familiar force in the world is our friendly big brother, the World Government. Their presence has been felt by humanity and the world itself for centuries. When their grip on the world and its people began to tighten, some reacted by turning to piracy, seemingly one of the only options to allow one to truly be ‘free’ and not under the control of the Tenryuubito. However the birth of pirates triggered a growth in the government’s military, specifically the Marines.

The WG’s ever-increasing ceiling of power and the persistence of piracy led to a heated conflict which only escalated faster with each passing day where a solution was not found. Approximately two centuries ago, only a few decades after the birth of piracy, the World Government launched a heavy campaign against the pirates and their subsequent allies, resulting in what is known as the Great War. Many documents of the world’s history, the WG, and the identities of the first great pirates were lost in this war. While the details are fuzzy for obvious reasons, there are suspicions that the WG did not release the full truth of the matter… and while the average citizen blindly believes the lies of the Marines, the average pirate sees through this deception.

Lost artifacts and some elderly characters may hold information on the Lost Age of Pirates, something that is easily neglected by pirates only searching for riches and power, but a wise pirate knows the importance placed on history…

After the Great War the WG employed the skills of seven of the greatest pirates from the Lost Age that were willing to convert to the side of the Marines in exchange for their freedom and protection from the law. These seven pirates and their crews became known as the Shichibukai.

So, you are faced with a question.. Are you a pirate bent of fighting against the World Government, or are you a lawful Marine with the duty to enforce the laws of the world in the pursuit of the greater good?

Faction: Pirate

Rank/Position: Yonkou/Captain

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Sano is a deadly observant man with a deep-seated hatred for humans and most surface-dwelling beings. He is very protective of his territory, tends to be very arrogant when negotiating, and is an all-around aggressive man who isn’t afraid to step on others to get what he wants. He has man alpha male traits and is the epitome of the term apex predator. Whilst he is very arrogant he is also a disciplined man who is not quick to judge the people he meets. He is a highly respected and confident being.
Short History: Sano is the man given the most credit for freeing the Fishmen and Merfolk of Fishman Island from slavery brought on by the humans. Being the first Ancient Fishman, Sano grew up living an abnormal life where he was treated much differently than his peers. The humans ripped him away from his family as soon as they saw the prehistoric structure of his body. He was a Fishman of legend that overthrew the oppression of the humans after he became a pirate and led numerous attacks on the Tenryuubito, the World Government and slaveships that carried his people. After freeing his people he went on to become one of the four Yonko.
Theme Song: [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73SYMPjG4uc[/yt]

Weapons/Items: None
Special Skills/Attributes:
Unrivaled Strength – Sano has gained the reputation of the strongest being alive.
Fishman Karate Master/Fishman Jujutsu Expert – Sano helped develop the concepts of Fishman Karate and is a master of his own style. He has also studied many Fishman Jujutsu techniques.
Kenbunshoku Haki – Sano has the ability to sense those around him as well as extending his Observation to several hundred meters around him when he is in water, done by sensing the presences of everything in the water around him.
Busoshoku Haki – Perhaps the best user of the Color of Armaments, Sano’s offensive and defensive physical attributes are insanely increased when using this form of Haki. His skin becomes dark gray and harder than steel, while his rough sharkskin harms attackers. His attacks are able to shatter even the highest level defenses.
Haoshoku Haki – Sano’s presence alone speaks volumes, and his bloodthirsty eyes penetrate the soul. Needless today his ominous presence is incomparable.
Megalodon Size – Sano is huge. He’s about nine feet tall normally, and by absorbing water into his body he converts it to energy and increases his size. In water he can grow up to 20m.
Skill in Water – As a Fishman Sano has lived in water for his whole life and is very skilled in fighting in aquatic dimensions. He is an amazingly fast and powerful swimmer, even using his dorsal fin(s) to attack.

Gyojin Karate
Uchimizu (Water Bullet) – A thin bullet of water is shot at high speeds with high penetration power.
Yabusame (Arrow Military Shark) – Sano covers his arm in water and then whips it toward his target, sending a flurry of very fast water bullets at his opponent.
Koketsu (Jaws of Death) – Sano’s eyes roll back into his head, protecting his eyes from harm but obstructing his view. As his eyes roll back, his jaw is opened and then quickly shut with the force of a Megalodon shark’s jaw. This attack can easily tear through a human’s body in one bite.
Karakusagawara Seiken (Arabesque Tile True Punch) – The user punches at a fair distance from the intended target(s), so instead of the fist connecting, it uses the water vapor in the air to release a powerful shock wave.
Gosenmaigawara Seiken (5,000 Tile True Punch) – An extremely powerful uppercut, rather than a straight punch, sending the opponent flying skywards.
Yarinami (Spear Wave) – Manipulating a body of water the user hurls a spear-shaped burst of water with enough force to punch a hole in solid structures.
Samehada Shotei (Sharkskin Palm Block) – An ability that causes the user’s sharkskin to harden with Busoshoku Haki in order to combat even the sharpest of blades and attacks.
Gyojin Karate Ogi: Buraikan (Fishman Karate Ultimate Technique: Outlaw) – The user hurls a pack of water in his hands and shoots a powerful water shock wave that pierces through his opponent's body.

Gyojin Jujutsu
Mizugokoro (Water Heart) - The primary technique of this style that the user initiates by first performing a bowl-shaped gesture with his webbed hands (one hand over the other) while underwater right before giving the water itself around him a mighty yank. This allows the user to physically grab and redirect currents as if he were manipulating cloth.
Kairyu Ipponzeoi (Sea Current Uplift) – The user heaves the current upward, where it erupts from the ocean surface as a towering stream of water which can be directed as a curving projectile.
Murasame (School of Sharks) – The user hurls water at the target which takes the shape of a school of sharks that fly through the air and water at high speeds.

[Hoofprint]

Name: Seito Kuro
Alias/Nickname: The Black Crow
Bounty: 450,000,000 beli
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Faction: Pirate
Race: Human
Rank/Position: Captain of the Black Crow
Organization: Black Crow

Appearance:

Personality: Seito is a rather nice person, but suffers from a risk taking personality. Often tossing caution aside for the thrill of gain, he will never back down. Oddly enough, for such a nice guy he has no qualms with murder. While not heartless or bloodthirsty he will often kill enemies who face him, but that's more out of a lack of restraint on his powers instead of actual cruelty.
Rather clever, Seito is capable of taking advantage of small things. Often relying on a slight trickery and loopholes to take advantage in a fight, Seito is highly perceptive. He uses charm, cunning, and a poor sense of humor to gain alliances and the trust of those around him.
Short History: The Black Crow Pirates... Started during the first age of Pirates by a man named Edward Teach, the first Black Crow. A pirate from the Crow Islands in the South Blue. The Crow Islands were famous for being a migration point for crows from all Blues. Edward Teach made a method of recruiting most of his crew from the Crow Islands, and until the day he died he was one of the most feared pirates of his era. Eventually though the Black Crow Pirates disbanded... But Edward Teach had a son. A son name Seito Kuro. He had married August Kuro in secret, and when he died his son adopted his mother's name in order to protect him. For years the legend of Seito Kuro was like that of any child on the Crow Islands.

Pirates eventually made their home on the Crow Islands, former members of the Black Crow. Telling legends of their famous Captain, they drew the fascination of the young Seito who dreamed of being like the famed pirate. Eventually the remnants of the Black Crow agreed to bring Seito with them on a small trip with his mother's permission. During that trip Seito found the Sever Sever fruit among the wreck of a small trade vessel, and devoured it in hunger.

At the age of 19, Seito set out from the Crow Islands, still filled with dreams of being a pirate. He set out into the South Blue, discovering Rolling Stone Island, a place where several bandits had been tracking an Ex-Marine. That man was James Devon, and became Seito's first Crewman. Eventually the crew expanded to involve Yuma Ichigawa, Coral Fay Tayo, and Jason Triden. The crew of the Black Crows had been formed.

The Crew made itself infamous in the South Blue. With the first true act to gain a bounty was the defeat of Baron Smutz, a man known as the Hundred Eyes Overseer. His defeat brought the crew their first bounty. Eventually they made their move to the Grand Line, where the made themselves famous yet again. From the sinking of the Red Cliffs Island, to the burning of the Marine Base at the East Gates of Peace, the crew continued to grow.
Theme Song: Legends

Weapons/Items: None
Special Skills/Attributes: Seito Kuro is a man capable of utilizing all three known forms of Haki. The Color of Armaments, the Color of Observation, and the Color of the Conqueror.
Advanced Fighting Style: Seito's fighting style is based primarily around his Sever Sever Fruit. Taking speed in favor of physical might. He often makes wild strikes, seeking the merest of contact rather than a single damage dealing hit. This can make it hard to protect himself in close range combat. As such, he possesses a great deal of speed.
Color of Observation: Seito has put a great deal of practice into this particular skill of Haki. He can predicate attacks, even that of a simple gun. With this he can avoid attacks that he otherwise wouldn't be able to stop with the power of his devil fruit.
Color of Armaments: While his least developed power, Seito uses this to increase the power of his severing ability. With it, he severs the true body, making even Logia users vulnerable to his power. Otherwise he uses it as protection. While not really capable of defending him particularly well, he can minimize basic damage, allowing him to last longer in combat.
Color of the Supreme King: Seito's greatest Haki. He can use it to knock out weak targets on mass, and has shown enough skill to target specific individuals. He has even shown the ability to use this against even strong willed targets, using it to lessen their combat skills. Against other Haki users he can apply this to lessen their usage of Haki.

Devil Fruit (Optional)
Name: Sever Sever Fruit
Type: Paramecia
Description: The Sever Sever Fruit, a black fruit in the shape of a pointy pear. Covered in red marks that seem to be scratches this fruit is one of the greatest ever discovered.
The power of this devil fruit is simple. It severs whatever the user touches. The users fingers, hands, elbows, knees, and feet become conductors to channel the power of this devil fruit. If the user touches an object, the point of contact is the epicenter. A straight line is formed, crossing through the epicenter and along the object the user is touching. The object is then cut along the line, effectively severed in half. No matter how strong the object is, whether wood or diamond, it can be cut by this devil fruit. The size itself doesn't even matter, as the user can cut a ship clean in two.
When an object is severed, the two parts of the now severed object repel each other with a strength depending on the user's will. This mostly allows the user to sever and object in two and then move pass the opening created in the now severed object.
A severed object can be put back to together, but only be will of the user of this devil fruit. When he snaps his fingers, he can cause objects he has severed to be drawn back together.

Devil Fruit Abilities
Name: Sever Sever Spin
Description: By applying a high speed 360 spin with the power of the Sever Sever Fruit, Seito protects himself from attacks that target all directions.

Name: Sever Sever Annihilation
Description: By mixing color of armaments Haki with his strike, the power of the Sever Sever Fruit is magnified. When he strikes a target, instead of a single line, the user create a far greater number. As such, when he strikes the target they are severed right down to their atoms, leaving nothing behind. This attack applies a large amount of stress to Seito's body, and excessive use can cause internal bleeding in his arms.

Name: Sever Sever Mend
Description: After severing an object, Seito can force the two severed parts to reconnect. Anything caught between the two reconnecting objects can be crushed.

So in for this yo.

[TatsuaAiisen]

Name: Yukari Senka
Alias/Nickname: "Iron Maiden of Justice"
Bounty: N/A
Age: 25
Gender: Female

Faction: Marine
Race: Human
Rank/Position: Admiral
Organization: Marines

Appearance:

Personality: Very serious and quiet at times, she is an arrogant and hard-working individual who likes to get drunk with her subordinates at random. She has a deep hatred for pirates of every kind. She has a weakness for attractive females, sometimes letting them off the hook if she captures them. On the battlefield, she is an unstoppable force of Absolute Justice that will stop at nothing to accomplish her goal. She likes to get pumped for her battles.
Short History: When she originally joined the Marines at 13, it was a struggle, she fought tooth and nail to get to her position, overcoming her comrades and rising in rank through sheer willpower and dedication. She has recently achieved the rank of Admiral, so she is yet to earn the respect of the other Admirals and the Fleet-Admiral.
Theme Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjyqF9WnWGI

Weapons/Items: 4 Chainswords which she keeps at her sides, a powerful mechanical hookshot developed specifically for her use. (Note: Despite carrying 4, She usually only uses 1-2 at a time, depending on how many opponents she has. For the swords appearance and function, think Ivy from soul caliber.)
Special Skills/Attributes: She is skilled with Colour of Armaments Haki, and is a known master of Rokushiki, capable of using all of its arts including Rokuogan with an obscene amount of skill. She has the ability to use Conquerer's Haki to an extent, but she hasn't yet received any training in Colour of Observation. She is considered a master of the sword within the marines, but that ability isn't known to the general public.

Devil Fruit
Name: Kusari-Kusari no Mi
Type: Paramecia
Description: A devils fruit that allows the user to create an innumerable amount of chains from their body, or anything that they can touch. They may also manipulate any chains they create, in addition to ones they can touch. She has shown the ability to make her chains move at very extreme speeds, extend them as far as she likes, suddenly change their direction at impossible angles(And hold them there as if being pulled tight around a corner by an invisible force) and enhance her chains with Haki. It's worth noting that she can only move the chains in a straight line without any curves(UNLESS she is wrapping them around an object/person). Even after the user has lost contact with the chains, they remain indefinitely until destroyed or returned to the users body where they will disappear mysteriously.

Alias/Nickname:
The Tempest
The Phoenix
Child-Snatcher

Bounty:
999,000,500

Age:
25

Gender:
Female

Faction:
Pirate

Race:
Human

Rank/Position:
Captain/Chef

Organization:
Shichibukai - Arashi Pirates

Personality:
Words alone cannot describe this woman. When faced with new people, she can be a bit coy and sometimes enjoys teasing them in a friendly manner. She's very easy to get along with and rarely passes narrow-minded judgement on anyone. She's confident in everything that she does even when all odds are against her. Faced with social situations, she's fearless and dives headfirst into the crowd, ready and willing to strike up conversation with anyone.

For people who are close enough to her to have her call them a friend, she's very open. She won't hesitate to provide them with kisses, lounge in their laps, and make rather perverted jokes. She's very loyal to those who've earned it, and passionate to her causes. She doesn't like to put herself into physical fights when they can be avoided, preferring to attempt a way to talk herself out of trouble whenever there's the option to. She is quite the socialite and seems to know everything about everyone.

Despite her seductive nature, she's still a female. And a hopeless romantic one at that; Like many women, she dreams of finding true love. Of course, she'd never admit it. She's a patron of the arts and isn't afraid to let it be shown - She enjoys sharing her works whether it's something she composed, drawn, written, or played. She's quite the dramatic young lady and claims that she belongs on the stage - She's quite the talented young actress and her ability to mimic anyone and put up an emotional front is quite unrivaled.

She's overall pretty friendly and easy to get along with. The quickest way to her heart is great food - Especially sweets and wine. That is no secret. She does, however, not tolerate weakness. Not in the physical sense, but the emotional sense. Unless someone you love has died or you're expressing joy, she doesn't believe anyone over fifteen should ever cry. She also doesn't like pushovers. She will walk all over them with no regret, telling to grow a spine if they wish it to end.

To get her agitated...that's quite the feat. But once she's been agitated, the reaction is violence. Whether crew member or drunk guy groping her at the bar, your gut would soon become well acquainted with her foot and your pressure points with her fingertips, after which, she will leave you immobile on the floor without a care.

Short History:
Nevaeh Evangeline Phoenix grew up in a wealthy home; Her father was the commanding Fleet Admiral stationed at Mirrorball Island and her mother an executive of the Doskoi Company. Some would think that she had everything she wanted - and she did, as far as material items. Her parents were hardly around and didn't pay her any mind when they were. Nevaeh struggled to gain their attention and affection by excelling in singing, dancing, cooking, art, music, and literature - All the things that a young lady of her social standing should be good at. When that failed, she simply gave up and decided to pursue that which she hadn't mastered - Fighting. She wandered the island to find someone that would teach her and found a young man that took an interest in her dance ability and agreed to teach her the way of varma kalai in exchange for lessons in dance. From the ages of ten to eleven, she trained in secret.

She began to think that she wasn't going to be able to reach her full potential if she were going to spend the rest of her life training in secret for only a few hours per day. She had long since discovered that the man teaching her was a Pirate of the Morganeer sorts. She pleaded with him for days to take her away with his crew and become a pirate and a master of different fighting styles. When he finally conceded, she went to her parents and let them know that she was going to run away and never be seen by them again. Of course, they weren't very happy with that, but she didn't quite care. One night while her parents were away at a Military Gala, Nevaeh packed her things and stole some of their fortune before running away. Among the food that she packed was a strange fruit. She didn't discover what it was until a few weeks later when she ate it. One of her crew mates caught her eating it just as the last bit was swallowed and eagerly informed her that she had just eaten the Kama-Kama no Mi Paramecia Devil Fruit. Of course, she was excited to have such power, though upset that she'd never be able to swim again.

She spent the next two years of her life sailing the seas and mastering all that she could. And what did her parents do of it? They did nothing. If it were made public that their daughter ran away to become a pirate, what could that do to their social life? They'd be a laughing stock! For that purpose, they simply said that their beloved little gem moved away to live with relatives for studying at an exclusive school.

Nevaeh became the world's youngest Shichibukai when she defeated two Marine battleships at the age of thirteen nearly single handedly, earning her quite the reputation. As you can imagine, the Marines were unhappy about this - Especially her father. But she pointed out that despite her age, she was indeed a powerful asset and requested a place among the Shichibukai. It wasn't laughed at, rather she was told there was no room. So she gave a nod and set out to kill the first one he laid eyes on. Mito the Mighty was notorious and cruel, and he had a hand in the previous attack on her former crew, so she thought he was the perfect one to kill. She had no crew anymore - obviously - so she went at it alone.

The battle was long an hard, lasting an easy seven hours. But when the dust settled, only one of them was alive. She went back to the Marines with Mito's head and politely requested again. An from there, it's all history. She was provided with a new ship, though she had to set out and find her own crew. She had no qualms with it but it was hard to find good pirates willing to be Captained by a mere child. But she did it and went on and made a name for herself, still learning all that she could.

*Note
She sports the hat of her closest and deceased friend: Captain Adam LeRone. Along with the coat of Admiral Jim Hurain to show her victory over him, having tailored it herself to be more fashionable and to her tastes.

Special Skills/Attributes:
Phoenix Dance
Phoenix Dance is a fighting style that she created and perfected herself, unwilling to fight completely in the style of others. It is a mixture of Thoduvarmam, Paduvarmam, Haki, and Taekwondo with the mixed use of needles, throwing stars, Kama Kama Sen ken'nomai, kunai, bladed fans, poisons, venoms, and sedatives. For her opponents, it's an impossible style to copy and a hard one to defend against; you never know what weapon she's bringing to the fight or how she's going to use it and her speed and flexibility mixed with her taunting dancing and acrobatics make it seem as though its all a game to her, often frustrating her opponents and leaving a smile on her face. It can be used as an in-your-face brute force fighting style or an evasive, long distance type based off of guerrilla attacks.

Cooking
She was always taught by her Governess that she would play the role of a good child: Always seen in company with good fashion but never heard unless called upon. Even though she thought that role sounded more like a servant's, she kept her mouth shut and went with her lessons. Cooking was a favorite of hers because she loved to eat. She can prepare a most wonderful five course meal for for a Sea King without breaking a sweat and can tell the ingredients in a dish from merely a taste or two. She prides herself on her culinary prowess and won't stand to be told anything negative about her cooking. She also has versed herself in sniffing out things that shouldn't be in a dish - Such as poisons.

The Arts
While she's a good artist with a canvas, she is more notable for her skills in and love of dancing, singing, acting, and her way with instruments. She often as a child would perform for her parents in talent shows, mopping up competition. Even though their enthusiasm was feigned, she grew to love the arts and soon began applying it to her life as a pirate. With her acting, she can easily impersonate and lie about anything and anyone, easily charming and/or fooling others without breaking character as well as fulfill the role of a spy. Her dancing is applied in her fighting while her singing and instrument skills are spent keeping up the morale of the crew.

Marksmanship
She's no good with a gun, but if you put a small projectile in her hand, you're as good as dead. She prefers to stay out of close-combat until her opponent is worn down - Then she moves in for the final blows and eventually the kill. She doesn't like bows of any sort because she thinks they take too long to utilize, whatwith having to remove it from your back, draw the arrow out, notch it, and then aim. Whereas with her usual array of weaponry, she's already calculated the trajectory path before whipping it out and throwing it.

Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki
Among her fighting lessons, Adam thought that learning to master her Haki was critical to her future success and made sure she practiced every day. Adam was a true master of all three, though Nev didn't see interested in pushing into further training her Haoshoku Haki. But with her Kenbunshoku, she later mastered it and used it while creating the Phoenix Dance, enabling her to see her opponent's move beforehand, dodge, and then counter it. Her Busoshoku Haki is used as armor and to strengthen her blows, though she waits until the final stages of battle for using it. Her Busoshoku is what enables her execution blow with her Devil Fruit.

Weaknesses:
Guns
She's no good with them and you won't ever see her wielding one even as a last resort, not being confident enough in her ability to shoot one. This stems from when she tried as a child to wield one and broke her nose from the recoil.

Children
She's a sucker for short people with big watery eyes if there ever was one. She hates neglectful or abusive parents and is well-known for kidnapping children and murdering their parents in the dead of the night. At times, she was known to employ them as members of her crew.

Swordsmanship
Yes. She has a very big sword. Her father gave it to her when she became a Shichibukai as the first sign of any sort of approval of her. She wears it only for fashion and never in a fight. It's a famous sword, passed down the Phoenix line for twelve generations, Marine to Marine. All great swordsman. But now resting in the hands of a pirate/Shichibukai who knows nothing of how to use it.

Grandpa would be so proud.

Medical Works
She knows special recipes to cure colds and the flu and the suchlike. But if you're bleeding and she offers to stitch it, it's best that you slap some whiskey and a bandage over it until a real doctor makes his/her way over because Nevaeh will only make matters worse and possibly infect it.

Navigation
It was never her job so she's never paid too much attention to learning it. The Navigator is a position that she will never get rid of and always demands the very best of, as she hates being lost. Her Navigator is paid highest after the first mate.

Devil Fruit

Name:
Kama Kama no Mi

Type:
Paramecia

Description:
The Kama Kama no Mi Devil Fruit is a Paramecia DF that lengthens the nails of the user up to two inches, which are capable of slicing through the air itself, creating razor-sharp vacuum blades that can slice through the targets from a distance, thus allowing long range attacks. The nails themselves can also be used in close-quarters combat.

Devil Fruit Abilities
Kama Kama Fune no Sumasshu
Sickle Sickle Ship Smash is one of her more "basic" attacks. She uses her Devil Fruit powers to create several different vacuum blades aimed for the keypoints of a ship, virtually smashing it to bits.

Kama Kama Tsumujikaze
Sickle Sickle Whirlwind is a move where she creates a whirlwind of vacuum blades before setting it loose towards her opponents. Once its loosed she has no control over when it dies down - She just sets the size, direction, and power.

Kama Kama Sen ken'nomai
Sickle Sickle Dance of One Thousand Swords is her own uniquely created attack. It's the most acrobatic of her attacks and most commonly used. While in battle, she dances around the battle field while evading and creates literally thousands of blades to attack her enemies which cut into their flesh.

Kama Kama Shikei Shikkō Hito
Sickle Sickle Executioner is a one hit kill move reserved for special people that she hates - Mutinous crew members, bad parents, and the like. She creates one giant blade and chops their heads off in one go. She doesn't use it on the battle field unless executing a leader for example setting.

(Both have been accepted)

Name: Coral Fay Tayo
Alias/Nickname: Dark Sea Queen
Bounty: 280,350,000
Age: 23
Gender: Female

Faction: Pirates
Race: Fishman/Merfolk
Rank/Position: Navigator
Organization: Black Crow Pirates

Appearance:


Personality: Coral is a lover of the sea through and through but not a lover of Merfolk or Fishmen in general, she does not hate them by any means but her experiences have made her bias toward her own race. As she holds a deep respect for the ocean and the Sea Kings she can get more than a little irritated at casual or indifferent attitudes, such as one when litters without a second thought. Due to her upbringing and life experiences she tends to be fairly cold to people when on land, though in the water her attitude tends to warm up somewhat.

Short History: Coral Fay Tayo was born in the outskirts of the Fishman Kingdom to a secret sect devoted to overthrowing the current kingdom. It was the sect of the Sirens and it hoped to unlock the secrets to the Poseidon weapon so that a member outside of the royal family would be able to control the sea kings. Coral was found to have the greatest potential, do to her natural affinity with ocean life since at infancy she had already made friends with and controlled lower sea creatures.

Being raised in the sect of the Siren she was trained quite extensively in the power of the voice. The arts of voice have quite a variety of uses, ranging from destructive to seductive, they are especially powerful when combined with different types of Haki. Her training was proceeding along quite smoothly until the Kingdom managed to locate her sect and thoroughly annihilated all members. Coral was the only one to survive as she was able to temporarily coerce a nearby sea king into helping her by manipulating the sea king into seeing the army as its enemy.

Barely escaping with her life, Coral went into hiding as the army continued to search for her. As soon as the Fishman Kingdom realized the kind of experiments Siren had been trying to do, the Fishman Kingdom placed a huge bounty on her head. Running was her only option and soon she found herself far away from her home, scrounging around for work and food to try and make a decent living.

Eventually she found herself working as a mapper for a particular company. Her work was to survey and map the dangerous reefs and rocks around the area, as a merfolk/fishman she was perfectly suited for the dangerous work, her affinity with sea life helping her out greatly. Being in an area with few fishman and becoming intimately related with the sea, mapping, and navigation was what caused her to become a suitable contender for ship navigator. Black Crow, not caring about her high bounty snatched her up and she has been working on the ship for a few years now.


Theme Song: Angel of Darkness (Vid very seizure inducing)

Weapons/Items: Strapped on her back are a pair of dual scimitars which she uses for equal parts offense and defense. The scabbards are fashioned from dark brown coral, the part that touches her back is smooth but the part facing outward has the typical bumps and roughness of sea coral. The scimitar handles are also crafted from the same type of coral, mostly smooth but left with just enough roughness to give her a good grip. The blades are elegantly curved and are made entirely of Kairoseki or Sea Stone, making the blades somewhat more potent against Devil Fruit Users.

Special Skills/Attributes:

Half-Body - Coral has a very distinct biology, being the product of a Fishman and Mermaid so somehow managed to inherit characteristics from both parents. Her most interesting ability inherent to this fact is that she had switch between having a typical tail and legs. This proves to be a distinct advantage as she can perform at her best both on land and in water.

Kenbunshoku Haki - This Observation Haki is probably her least developed form of Haki, while her detecting abilities are top-notch in the water, on land she can only sense people fairly close to her. As she has such a close affinity with the ocean, she is very easily able to sense sea creatures emotions, natures, and power.

Busoshoku Haki – Coral is able to utilize Color of Arms Haki to enhance her offensive and defensive abilities. Her use of Koka, or hardening, is an especially useful ability, usually adding the Haki to her scimitars to enhance their power.

Haoshoku Haki – Coral is one of the few born with at least a limited use of the Color of the Supreme King. On its own her Haoshoku Haki is of very little consequence to land creatures; however, using her natural talent with Haoshoku Haku along her affinity for sea life can combine together for some very dramatic results, allowing her to effectively dominate most creatures of the sea. She can use these skills to control either large masses of sea creatures or focus on one large target. If she concentrates enough it is possible for her to temporarily manipulate a Sea King to do her bidding. Dominating a Sea King is by no means an easy task, so when she is concentrating on a Sea King she is quite vulnerable and will be fatigued afterward. No doubt Siren would be proud of her accomplishments but she is nowhere near the level of Poseidon, with its ability to almost effortlessly control the Sea Kings.

She is currently working on improving her control and hopes sometime in the future to be able to control even Sea Kings with relative ease.

Art of Voice – Coral has been trained extensively in the use of her voice as both a weapon and manipulative element. By using Haki to enhance her lung capacity Coral is capable of incredible feats. By singing she can actually produce concentrated sound waves capable buffeting an opponent into submission and even tossing them back from the force. While offensively effective, her usual use of her voice arts act as a way of manipulating emotions. With her voice alone she can calm down angry people or creatures with her beautiful voice, she can endow courage to her allies and produce fear in her enemies. In whatever way she uses her voice to mess with people’s emotions and thoughts it tends to be hard to ignore and only the strongest of wills can completely ignore its effects.
(As sound moves faster in water her Art of Voice is greatly enhanced while underwater)

Concussion Voice - Coral's powerful lungs condense sound so powerfully that she can direct a little concussive wave from her mouth. The powerful sound attack buffets her enemy's often causing their eardrums to rupture and is capable of knocking a grown man off his feet.

Disabling Voice - A very sinister use of her voice, she is able to focus on an enemy target and channel a highly disruptive sound, akin to loud static or continuous nails on a chalkboard, easily causes her opponents to lose their concentration, causing their performance to decrease dramatically.

Song of Victory - Coral sings for her crew, all those she deems as friends feel themselves grow more confident and focused in battle, those within hearing who she sees as enemies will feel an increased sense of pressure and dread when fighting her allies.

Song of the Sea - A very specific technique where she concentrates her voice into the water, sea creatures will feel the pull of the song and come to aid her in battle.

Devil Fruit (N/A)


Name: Thomas Argos Crispin
Alias/Nickname: The Unmotivated Dictator
Bounty: 899,982,050
Age: 44
Gender: Male

Faction: Pirate
Race: Human
Rank/Position: Yonkou/Captain
Organization: Eternal Depths Confederation

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: True to his nickname, Thomas almost always appears to be completely unmotivated and even slothful. While on the outside he appears harmless enough he is really quite a schemer and manipulator, rarely getting his own hands dirty unless absolutely necessary. One of his favorite phrases is “what a pain”, often when he says this he will then order a subordinate to take care of that ‘pain’ for him. The way to tell how angry Thomas is, one has to look at how serious he is acting, the more serious he appears the more angry usually, as his usual appearance is one of apathy.

Short History: Thomas Crispin started out in life in West Blue, often dealing with gangs and occasionally the World Government. From the start Thomas never liked to get his hands dirty and always seemed to find a way to get others to do work for him. While to everyone else he just appeared to be a lazy bum this was in fact merely an effective ploy he used throughout his life to keep people from suspecting him of wrongdoing. Despite his lazy appearance he actually trains quite extensively in secret with famous martial artists and weapon users he blackmailed.

When he was a mere 17 years old Thomas was given a very rare opportunity, when a rookie pirate crew stopped by his island. Having already effectively taken over the island from the shadows, Thomas felt the need to move on and so forced himself onto the crew where slowly his schemes bore fruit. Within 2 years Thomas managed to become the new captain of the Eternal Depths pirates, his power and influence constantly underestimated by his apathetic attitude. Soon afterward they moved to the Grand Line and there Thomas found himself pushed to his limits, while he was getting by he realized he needed more power.

For a while Thomas and his crew were stuck in the first parts of the Grand Line but Thomas had not been idle during this time and through numerous connections managed to locate a special world government team that was collecting rare Devil Fruits for research. Through deception and guile, Thomas managed to infiltrate the World Government and snatch on of their latest finds, which happened to be the Will-o Will-o Devil Fruit, though no one figured out which fruit it was until Thomas cracked open the coconut and ate it.

Armed with the power of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Thomas very quickly started to rise up in the underground again and soon was deep within the Grand Line. Over the years he built his Eternal Depths Confederation and became one of the four Yonkou. The only reason his bounty is not higher is that he still prefers to work more in the background than the foreground, and so his bounty is comparatively low to the other Yonkou.

Theme Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNrAKIq5-7M

Weapons/Items: Carries around special gas pellets with various types of gas. Most of them are ignitable but he sometimes carries a few classic concealing smoke and tear-gas pellets as well.
Pretty much most anything that can be used as a weapon Thomas can use, though of course its effectiveness will vary depending on the weapon.

Special Skills/Attributes:

Skilled Strategist – Thomas loves to plan ahead and often creates elaborate schemes to further his own ends. Often weaving multiple layers to his plans, while not all of them succeed usually he never comes back empty handed.

Proficient Martial Artist and Weapons User – Thomas prefers not to rely on these skills but he knew they would be useful so he forced himself to learn. This comes especially in handy when he is possessing something.

Kenbunshoku Haki – Thomas in extremely advanced in Observational Haki, being able to sense individuals up to a mile away, there are very few ways of avoiding getting sensed by Thomas unless one is camoflouged by sea stone or has a special stealth ability. He is extremely adept at predicting an opponent’s moves and therefore is known for being able to ‘lazily’ dodge even a multitude of attacks. He can also easily sense emotional states and the strength of his opponents to very high degrees.

Busoshoku Haki – Thomas is able to use Color of Arms Haki to great effect. As Thomas prefers to dodge attacks, rarely is this ability ever used in order to strengthen his own body. The way he prefers to use this type of haki is to drastically strengthen whatever he happens to be holding or possessing to incredible degrees.

Anit-Haoshoku Haki – It is very strange for someone who has achieved Yonkou status to not possess the Color of the Supreme King considering the kind of influence one was have to achieve such a status yet this is exactly so for Thomas. Being in Thomas’s presence doesn’t fill anyone with fear or really thoughts about much of anything for that matter, of course to make up for this lack of Haoshoku Haki is Thomas’s unique Devil Fruit. Interestingly enough Thomas, while he has no Haoshoku Haki is completely impervious the other people’s Haoshoku no matter how developed it may be, making Thomas one very cool cucumber when facing even the most intimidating foes.

Devil Fruit
Name: Will-O Will-O Fruit
Type: ‘Mythical’ Zoan
Description: The Will-O Will-O Fruit, before Thomas ate it, was actually a white coconut with green pentagrams covering it. The coconut meat was pink and milk was a pale yellow, certainly one of the strangest looking devil fruits in existence. He still keeps part of the shell in his private quarters just because of its unique look.

The Will-O Will-O Fruit is certainly in a class of its own, endowing Thomas with the capabilities of the incorporeal Will-o-the-Wisp. As a Will-o-the-Wisp humanoid, Thomas has the ability to phase into an ethereal form, similar to a logia fruit user ability to transform into their element. This ethereal form has two distinct advantages over most logia users: The first is that Thomas can pass through nearly any object, though this can be countered either but the use of very strong haki, ocean water, or sea stone. The second advantage is a type of possession, when Thomas enters an inanimate object he is able to control and manipulate said object with relative ease, of course an inanimate object, like a suit of armor of golem makes the best use of this ability since they are designed to move. He is capable of possessing animals and humans as well; however, possession of sentient beings can be resisted if one has sufficient haki and will power to expel him. He tends not to possess living things unless it is an act of subterfuge, also he is most vulnerable while residing in another living body, as wounds taken while in that body full transfers to his own.

Devil Fruit Abilities

Will-o Will-o Posse - This ability allows Thomas to manifest mini Will-O-the-Wisps in the surrounding area. These Will-O-the-Wisps are not creatures like what the Will-O Will-O Fruit made Thomas, but are mere gas balls which Thomas can command. The gas balls look pretty, often being of various fluorescent colors but they have a repugnant smell and can ignite instantaneously, causing mini explosions, harming anyone caught in the blast. This ability can be greatly enhanced if there is natural gas in the area, like swamps, or he adds gas to the air himself with special canisters he makes some of his subordinates carry.

Will-o Will-o Projections – An ability most effective in a dim or smoky environments, simply an illusory type ability that creates ethereal fakes of himself, his Posse, or even other people. Mostly used to scare and disorient his opponents, to put them on edge or to divert their attention from his true objectives.

[Animal]

Name: Tash Grant
Alias/Nickname: The Shredder
Bounty: 12,000,000
Age: 25
Gender: Male

Faction: Pirate
Race: Human-Shark Fishman (Great White)
Rank/Position: Swordsman
Organization: Sunfire Pirates

Appearance:

Personality: Tash is a killer, does not matter which race he shreds up as long as he can see blood gushing from them. All people who fall before him are considered trash and people who are above him are considered targets. His eyes goes into tunnel vision focusing only on the one he desires not caring who he slices up along the way. He has a sadistic and masochistic nature along with being obnoxious plus foul mouthed. His language is fighting that can either be verbal or physical.

There is no soft side to Tash, he will show no mercy in his fights and will not hesitate to put an end to a person’s life, even if that person meant something to him. Tash is really stubborn when it comes to help, he tends to ignore the cries of help or refuses to be helped. He believes everyone should do everything on their own otherwise it would taint their minds. Tash is often silent about his past and focuses on the present.

Short History: Tash was born in the Fishman District, but grew up outside Fishman Island after his father caused the entire family to be exiled. It was all thanks to the father’s rebellious attitude and threatened the royal kingdom with a death threat. They lived very poorly and barely got enough food to feed everyone in the family. One day, Tash scouted for food above land wanting to try his luck despite the warnings his parents gave him. When he finally found something edible, he was captured human pirates who have a distinct hate for fishmen. Even though he looked human, it were his gills and sharp teeth that gave him away.

He was abused and tortured daily to the point where he welcomes it being it unavoidable. They discouraged him of being both human and fishman at the same time stating how no one will ever accept him in the world. He believed this until the day the pirates were attacked by marines. One of cannonball shots allowed him to get free without suffering any critical damage. He picked up one of the nearest torture tools they used against him and started to slash his way of the distracted pirates allowing him jump in the water and swim into the waters where the remaining pirates were in thanks to the man who caused all the ruckus. Spilling the blood of those pirates felt so good that he wanted to do it more. As he was traveling in the water he cut up some fish along the way liking this new emotion of his. He never felt so much freedom before.


Theme Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g2e0RbRFLk

Weapons/Items:

His weapon allows him to cover all sorts of ranges with its detach and retract mechanisms. He can use the blade themselves for melee range and even use the chain alone as a weapon or just detach one blade for easier use. He can reach a pretty decent long range with the press of a button on his handles as it shoots out giving it a power launch boost. Pressing the button after it has been launched retracts it at the same speed it was launched. However launching by button underwater will slow its speed down in half. The blades are crafted from the finest steel imbued with seastone.

Special Skills/Attributes:


Busoshoku Haki- It varies on land and in water. While in the water he can hear from far distances as on land he would not hear as much as he would underwater. As far as predictions go, he tends to ignore dodging having a low level of predicting while he is unpredictable himself due to his Fervor ability.

Kenbunshoku Haki- His skin hardens allowing him to increase his defense, he can also use it on his weapon to increase their condition and damage.

Fervor- Whenever he is hit or lands a hit, his speed and power increases slightly letting him get advantageous in long fights. However he goes back to his base form whenever he misses an attack or if he blocks an attack, even a long period of evasion will return him to base form.


Fishman Karate:

Watershot- Has the ability to use water as bullets that can be launched from his hands.



Kursaigamajutsu (Fishman and Regular):

Water Augmentation- While underwater, the size of his blades are 3x bigger than its current size by sharpening the water surrounding it allow him to increase his range. While on land and if there is water around, he can dip the blade in water for a minor augmentation or even prepare it for a water slice.

Water Slice- Water travels down the blade causing a sharp water blade to form when the scythe is moving in the air. Power, speed, and size increases underwater.

Whirl- On land he twists his body around letting a vortex form around his body blocking incoming attacks and uplifting someone in the air if they are in melee range. In water it forms a whirl pool instead pulling those who are near and sending them to the bottom of the ocean.

Guillotine- A strong throwing and retracting technique that does not require him to use his buttons, instead he uses his bare hands to launch his scythes. Whenever Tash throws one of his scythes, the speed and power is increased greatly. However the throwing shot only does minor damage while it has a strong knockback. While the scythe is being thrown, Tash can move it via chain to reposition it. The retracting on the other hand is pure damage and will ignore damage resistance while it travels at the same speed at which it was thrown. Unlike being thrown, it cannot be repositioned by the chain and it will go in a straight line while it is traveling. Throwing and pulling power is greatly increased underwater.

Piercing shot- Focuses on the tip of the blade that can break stone walls and can even crack through armor. Underwater it will pierce through certain types of metal, steel is debatable.

ACCEPTED - Doctor of the Black Crows
Name: Yuma Ichigawa

Bounty: NA as of yet i think
Age: 25
Gender: Male

Faction: Pirate
Race: (Human, Human
Rank/Position: Doctor
Organization: Black Crow

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: A dedicated and loyal fellow is Yuma, until you piss him off then he will beat the shit out of you. His first concern is always that of his fellow crew members - but he loves a good drink (not too much mind) and a laugh, but most of the time Yuma is a serious character. When forced to fight, Yuma adopts a very sarcastic nature due to the fact he is a logia user and that most people dont have sea stone weapons or know haki and will often provoke someone to stab or shoot him, only to scare the shit out of them by dispersing Cheshire cat style and start whispering to them

Short History: Yuma always wanted to be a pirate, but his parents always punished him harshly when ever this dream was spoken allowed, but all the pirates Yuma saw when ever they docked in his home town were firece, strong and brutal - non of these qualities Yuma had, and so he decided to follow in his parents foot steps, and became a doctor and eventually traveled to a place he knew LOTS of pirates visited and opend a surgery that would only treat pirates - and because of this Yuma became quite rich, as he was able to charge lots for his treatments as he was the only doctor in this village he had set up surgery, and sometimes he even charged treasure - then the day that changed his life happened.

Yuma was treating what looked to be a very powerful man, bulging muscles, long beard, lots of old scars over his body, and when he was healed the pirate gave Yuma a box:

"Doc - in this box is a cursed fruit - me and me crew foud it on our last travels, no one wants to dare be near it, let alone use it - so make some use of it for us." and with that he was gone. A bit pissed that he had been left with a box, Yuma opened it only to find a single bananna - but this one was not like others, it had what appeared to be a wind like pattern over it, the doc recognised what it was - it was a devils fruit, and so eagerly ate it, hoping to gain power - and that he did, becoming an 'Air man' and so when he was not treating patiants, he was training his whole body how to use the fruit, coming up with interesting attacks and actually being able to fight, once he felt ready - he joined a crew as a ship doctor, the crew name? The Black Crows.
Theme Song: Is this one optional? I never seem to find suitable songs lol

Weapons/Items: Basic medical supplies and some equipment

Description: this melee or long range ability focuses a mold of air around Yumas fist which (if in melee) expands on impact or if used from a distance - carries the mold in a straight line for a distance of about 40 yards before expanding (shock wave like effect in both instances)

Name:Air Air Body augmentation:
Description:Yuma is able to intake Air from his surroundings in able to bulk up either his arms/legs to give them increased power, as he can fight, but his main skill is medicine and so with this ability he can either fight/run/jump more/faster/higher, longer - this ability would be akin to Luffy's gear second as this is a rather powerful ability (as in its restricted to about a few mins, not fully sure as Yuma is a logia user)

Name
Description In his full air form, he is able to sustain his wind tunnel (or even create 2 or 3 of them at a time) to attack/or defend, but most of the time he just uses this to help the ship move at faster speeds

Name Air Air teleport
Description

Name Air Air Teleport
Description This is not a true teleportation but just a way to move around, Yuma disperses his body and is able to reform else where, as when he is dispersed he is harder (if not impossible) to see, Yuma gives off the effect of teleporting - and with this can escape from any building that has even a small gap in it (unless the cage or what ever is made of sea stone)

TO BE ACCEPTED/DENIED
Name: Haru Ichigawa
Alias/Nickname: Iron Fist
Bounty: N/A was 250,000,000 Beri
Age: looks around 50ish
Gender: Male

Faction: Marine
Race: Cyborg
Rank/Position: Admiral
Organization: World Government
Appearance: [Face is ) but with Yuma's hair cut only other difference is that Haru wears trousers (pants)

Personality: Haru is one of the few Cyborgs who still have their free will, but his mission is life is to catch and arrest every pirate in the world, hoping that his son is not one of them, despite what Yuma was like from an early age. As he grew up, he found the non human races of the world he encountered fascinating and wanted to learn more about them, as Haru's father was a doctor and his grandfather as well (you get where im going with this) so the choice to go in to medicine was easy. (more will be added when i think of something super cool)

Short History: Like Yuma, Haru was a doctor, but unlike his son, Haru wanted to understand the human anatomy as well as the anatomy of other races, and so went to the black market to get corpses or visited graveyards, and it was this body snatching that landed him on the W.G's wanted list in a huge way as such things were deemed against the law and not the way to do things as a doctor (think of what Chopper thought of Hogback when it was revealed what hogback was really upto) and so a deal was made - that Haru would become a government weapon to hunt pirates, but his mind would not be altered as Haru had a brilliant mind, and not just for medicine, as some of the weapons that are in Haru's body were his own design, made by the best engineers and scientists the W.G has access too. So over time, his looks and his body became less and less human - as he gained more weapons and utilities his body became bigger (metal covered in a skin like texture and colour) Haru was able to catch many powerful pirates, one upgrade that Haru insisted on is that his hands be infused with sea stone so that he had a second skin over his hands, one to combat the Pirates who have eaten of the devil fruit, one of his last upgrades were the huge cannons strapped to his shoulders as well as the replacement eye (see face pic) so that he could target all his ranged weapons (some concealed in his arms as well) for the single purpose of eliminating the Era of pirates....

Theme Song:

Weapons/Items: his whole body is a weapon, his arms concealing guns and blades, the huge cannons on his shoulders can fire nets or larger ammo - usual robotty stuff with weapons and stuff, he also has fire breath and in his hands are concealed special non lethal weapons like knock out gas and such.

Special Skills/Attributes: due to his enhancements, Haru can take a total ass kicking better then a human (non DF user at least) and can dish out some terrible damage and due to his hand enhancements can still beat the crap out of DF users (good against logia or other DF users who had good defense), he also has transport capabilities (can we have jet packs in this or is that going too far?)

Sorry, this is just a random concept, I can change anything or expand on anything if nee
