Name: Dan Dishes

Age: 26

Height/Weight: 5’11, 167 lbs.

Pirate, Navy, Citizen: Marines

Bounty/Rank: Commander

Personality: Dan is considered to be the ‘savior of the slackers’, due to his view on Justice that he calls Balanced Justice. This form of Justice is the belief that every single good act is equal. That helping an old man repair his fence is just as valid a form of Justice as stopping a pirate from blowing up an island. Because of this, Dan throws himself into every activity with equal intensity. You will find him planting a flower bed with surefire conviction equal to what he has while combating a criminal.

Other than his strange views on justice, Dan is a fairly reserved person, he prefers to listen than to talk, but when he does talk, it is almost never about himself. His passion is a quiet kind, focused nearly entirely on his career, and his two hobbies; cooking, and sculpting. Though that doesn’t mean he’s a softy.

Dan believes that everyone should be treated with respect, but also that all criminals must be stopped, which leads to encounters were Dan refuses to throw even a minor insult, but will be trying his hardest to hammer his foe into the ground with absolutely zero hesitation.

Natural/Learned Skills: Dan has always had a talent with using his hands, his hand-eye coordination is just naturally impressive, meaning delicate and swift tasks can be carried out with great efficiency. He has used this talent to become a respectable sculptor, though this is a hobby, it is a hobby with purpose, as sculpting allows him to understand his Devil Fruit more, and thus use it with more efficiency.

Dan has trained himself rigorously in the art of cooking, due to his fear of starving. His method of cooking is one of efficiency instead of gourmet. Dan can live off the land, and make acceptable meals out of very few, very underwhelming ingredients. During his training as a chef, Dan has learned the skills of the Capsaicin Chef style of cooking, which is a method of cooking based around incredibly spicy food. Dan can make food so hot, that it makes the user’s breath so hot it can cause discomfort to others, or use chili extract so potent it causes immense pain to those who fall victim to it.

Physically, Dan is relatively decent. He’s no master martial artist, far from it, but he has honed his body to become a weapon in the most basic sense. Dan’s life as a Marine in training has granted him basic knowledge of weaponry, and made him decently strong and durable (significantly compared to normal humans, but he is not particularly impressive by superhuman standards.) Where Dan really shines, is his agility. His natural coordination lends itself well to agile maneuvers.

His agility and coordination is so great that Dan has learned a very weak version of Kami-E.

Currently he has no skill in any form of Haki, and isn't even aware of its' existence. But Dan has great potential when it comes to Armament Haki.

Inventory: Cooking supplies & ingredients, chili pepper extract, first-aid kit, standard issue flintlock rifle.

Bio: Dan was born and raised on an underwhelming island in the West Blue. The island was so downright boring that barely anyone recalled its’ name, save for those who lived on it. Unfortunately for this island, one day, soon after Dan turned ten, a group of pirates calling themselves the West Blue Smugglers arrived. They wreaked havoc across the entire island, and made off with a large number of captives. Including the young Dan Dishes.

However, as they sailed away, they unknowingly sailed right into a brutal storm. The ship was battered and knocked off-course, most of the food was water-logged and ruined, and their sails were torn. What followed was several weeks of borderline starvation. The captives were barely given anything to eat, and gradually passed away one-by-one, until only Dan remained. Alive only because some of the elder captives gave him food.

He knew he wouldn’t survive much longer, so Dan acted. It was a risky, stupid plan that wouldn’t have worked if the pirates weren’t exhausted. When they came to check on Dan, he played dead, and when the pirate entered the cell, he slammed into their legs, knocking him over just long enough for Dan to stumble out, and lock it behind him.

Afterwards, he crept up onto the deck, and snuck into the captain’s quarters in an attempt to find food. There, he found a single fruit. Some strange white razzberry covered in swirls. Dan ate it whole, ignoring the horrid flavor as best he could.

As fed as he was going to be, Dan waited until the crew fell asleep, and stole an escape raft they kept in case of emergencies. He floated in the raft aimlessly, until sleep claimed him.

Dan woke up at a Marine base two days later. After refusing to be returned home, in fear of being captured again, Dan was allowed to stay at the base provided he helped with chores. As he grew, he began learning from the chefs how to cook, and the soldiers how to fight. Eventually, Dan managed to convince the soldiers who had no work at the time to train him properly. Eventually after becoming an adult, Dan enlisted.

Several years went by, with Dan Proving his abilities as both a leader, and a fighter. Eventually he gained the rank of Commander and was transferred to the Grand Line, Alabasta in particular.
