Abilities & Skills: Wendell can swim very well. So well, in fact, that he can swim at 3,000 knots for days at a time, unhindered. While wearing his armor, Wendell's top speed reaches only about 1,500 knots.

Years of training his muscles and growing used to the icy chill of the open water has rendered Wendell's muscles rock-solid, allowing him to lift things much heavier than he is and resist impacts with solid objects with ease.

Since Wendell is a master of swimming and can move so quickly, he is even capable of tunneling through dirt, wood, flesh, sand, and air for seconds at a time before being forced to slow down.

While wearing his armor, Wendell weighs about 300 pounds. Out of his armor, he weighs about 170 pounds.

Wendell's muscles have been toned so well that mere exercise replenishes his blood-oxygen level, allowing him to submerge himself for up to an hour without needing to come up for air.

Wendell is so accustomed to the water that he is virtually incapable of fighting on land. He tends to slip, slide, and clumsily whiff his blows. However, he is a very good grappler thanks to his intense muscles and perpetual sogginess.

Equipment: Beyond his armor, Wendell is entirely unarmed and unarmored.

Devil Fruit: None, Wendell trained himself to swim exceptionally well on his own.

Personality: Wendell speaks very little anymore, but is immensely proud of his skills and is extremely competitive. Wendell will not hesitate to take any bet offered.

Biography: Wendell Schwimmer was a champion diver on Sunrise Island, and was known across his hometown for his fantastic lung capacity and strength. One day, while immensely drunk, someone bet him that he couldn't swim the Grand Line. Wendell, being immensely drunk and immensely proud, proceeded to do just that after years of rigorous training. With the single most important event of his life over, he spiralled into depression and alienated the rest of his admirers and family.

With no one left to tie him down, Wendell threw himself into training. He bought a diving suit with the last of his savings, and began wandering the seas, briefly stopping at islands only to eat, sleep, and clean himself of Sea King entrails.

Even his travellings failed to occupy his need for attention, and so he joined up with the Marines, armor and all. After demonstrating his amazing powers, he was assigned to the crew that would need a fast ship the most. Now, Wendell spends most of his time with a strong steel chain around him, towing the ship and acting as an impromptu torpedo.
