 **Name:** Boss Z. Gambino/ `The Black Swamp Demon` **Age:** 23 **Gender:** Male **Race:** Human **Crew Position:** Spy **Techniques/Fighting Style:** - _Physically_ Boss is left at a disadvantage being without an appendage. Not too long ago Boss lost his left arm in a battle that almost took his life along with the arm. Though missing a limb, using the power of his devil fruit Boss Z. Gambino can grow a scaled and green spotted replica when needed. "The Gecko" uses a combination of stregnth and strategy to overcome in battle, having applicle history in many life risking situations he decided to learn from his misendevors. Due to his size its usually a surprise as to how agile and quick on the feet Boss is, due to his Devil Fruit being the model of Gecko he also has gained the swift attributes from it. - _Defensivly_ Boss also has a strong defense against swords an cuts, being able to painfully though sucessfully regenerate body parts that aren't severed with the use of haki imbued weapons. He also has an indominable will, and at all cost will not stop at a task until he succeeds whether its a fight or Ro, Sham, Bo. - _Strategiclly_ Boss has an aptetude for collecting information. This is a scholarly trait he's had since childhood, now using it combativly. He holds an ability to quickly pick out possible weaknesses with an opponent through basic applications of trial and error. He lastly has memory like an elephant which he uses to recall information he's previously obtained. **Devil Fruit** - _Yamo Yamo No Mi-_ Though many would consider Boss cursed such as the few from his home island, Boss considers himself blessed. Destiny put a devil fruit in his hands and survival caused him to eat the wretched fruit. Though distastful the fruit had many positive qualities to it such as; allowing Boss to stick to vertical surfaces, a prehensile tongue, ability to produce toxins, and regenerative limbs. The Yamo Yamo does have a Hybrid and Full transformation though Boss has not achieved these forms and is still exploring other abilities. **Personality:** Gambino has been through some life changes at a young age. His personality has changed with the tide, once a proud, disciplined, and determined scholar. Gambino still showing signs of this trait used to have a hunger for knowledge of all things, mostly intruiged by historical and mythological writings. Upon his studies he's noticed the great things many indivisuals in history has done, with no recognition from the citizens of today. His drive for knowledge has since recently become a hobby. The sun must fall, and the moon rises with the night, change is inevidable. Gambino has traded his need for knowledge with a addiction to adventure and risk. Encountering a close death himself, Boss lives with no remorse nor regret undertsanding how quickly life can be taken from you. Which causes him to act on impulse causing him to land in a lot of misfortunate events. He has a life lasting desire, or in simpler terms a dream to; become a historical icon. To be a name everyone knows byation not by affiliation, being feared or loved, either wouldn't make a difference. Boss wants to become a living legend. After the loss of his father and recent nakama he has also lost trust. He relies on himself, and believes therefore in himself. Attachtments would only get in the way of his ultimate goal of vengence which is clouded to everyone with a mischevious smile. **Backstory:** Gambino was once a young energetic and promising scholar. Living with an archeologist of a mother he adapted to her traits and focused all of his attention on his studies. "Knowledge is power" his mother continued to chant til her dying days. Seeing his father every few months, he was always intriuged with his stories of the Grand Line. At the time Gambino senior wouldn't think about allowing his on on his ship due to the daily dangers. He otherwise encouraged his seed to focus on his studies. Little did his father, with the constant tales of adventure, freedom, fortune, and fame, he'd planted the seed. Boss headed down a different route in life. Reading the constant news on pirates from the Grand Line. Training his body and instincts by hunting the large amphibious and reptilian animals native to his island. Growing and progressing he soon became the islands well known delinquent. His change in lane caused the local law enforcement to lock him up for multiple counts, thpugh still only 17 at the time his sentence was deduced to 8 weeks. While serving time, Gambino's mother fell terminally I'll, with her health decaying daily. He immediately ran to her aid, his mission now to find a cure. This passed caused him to befried two unusual indivisuals, a physcopathic surgeon, and wizmical witch doctor. The trio grew closer together on their scavenger hunts. Searching what at the time was known as The Black Swamp, Boss came across the Yamo Yamo. Without hesitation giving into his hunger at the time he ate th wretched tasting fruit. The search continued for months until finally holding his mothers hand as she breathed her last. This sent Gambino in a rage activating his devil fruit's Hybrid Form. Blinded by rage and heart beyond imagination he blacked out killing many on his island. He eventually woke up on "The Shaman" his father's ship. After explaining the recent events to his son, Gambino having no memory of the escapade, his father welcomed him to the crew. His father would soon assist Gambino with his newly discovered abilities, honing his skills. During a monstrous storm Gambino senior engaged in battle with a notorious and unstoppable pirate crew. This being a battle he loses both his father and left arm. Though a full year ago' Gambino only fully recovered recently, months before arriving in Lougetown. Now he seeks passage to the Grand Line to achieve his ultimate goal of vengence and continue his father's will.

In the process of editing characters sheet and my intro post.

Definetly wanna join up in The Grand Line, sorry for the inactivity but I just started a new job soooooo yewh. I'm still here though. This would mean I would NOW be more active as I can balance my scheduling out ahead of time.

I'll be posting Gambino's reaction to everything going on in the bar tonight. If you feel the need to take the story on I'll adapt to the changes. I'll also be editing my character sheet before posting it into the Roster tab, I wanna expand it a bit, add a few more details here or there. As for the who knows who situation, I'm at lost.

> > One question I have about one piece. They're using flintlock weapons. That means one shot weapons, right? Why do they get like 20+ off without needing to reload? lol > > Because One Piece is less concerned with realism and more concerned with being ridiculously awesome. Which is why we love it. I couldn't have said it better, the only reason I stated "flintlock" was to give a litte more description then simply saying gun.

Are we keeping track of bounties in the story, I plan on being labeled a supernova later on. Just asking because I'll strangle Red in front of the crowd if that's the case, hopefully antagonizing Sayuri.

Intro post done, left a little opportunity in there for someone to tag along just in case anyone else besides our drunk had a hard time figuring out how to start.

- **Boss Z. Gambino: Loguetown** Boss looked on as the tourist he was at the execution platform. Having a single arm proved to attract little attention though he couldn't care less. Most places he went, Boss received a few curious glances. _I would cross my arms in a situation like this but what do you know. So this is where they execute kings? A little drab to me. Not nearly fit for the decapitation of a legend. Not to mention one world known. _He shook his head in disapproval. Before walking away, brushing past a few still looking at the stump of a shoulder he had. For self amusement he shouldered himself past a smaller looking outlaw. The man reached for his crude cheap blade though had a second thought as Gambino threw him that famous mischevious smile. He walked aimlessly through the town, collecting as much information on his surroundings as possible. So far he's noticed one valuable source of info, a marine base. He spotted a marine walk inside smoking two cigars at the same time, though he thought nothng of it, though he still made a mental note. Stopping to talk to a few locals about the origins of the Polestar Islands. Many of the locals informed him that many pirates and marines alike overcrowded the island. Info worth having at the time. **"Damn it I need a drink".** Boss told no one in particular. He scanned his surroundings; loud noises, the sound of glass, laughter, the smell of sea water and sweat, the smell of a bar. Squinting his eyes in the distance for a better resolution into the open doorway, he smiled again to himself, the bar growing closer as he walked. Once inside he immediately took care of business ordering a single tall bottle of rum, a healthy fourty ounces. He tossed his head back to enjoy his drink. He soon found himself gambling with the little beli he e had, though fate was on his side today, bubbling his funds. **"You have dealt me victory. Your destiny has been decided by the cards".** Boss taunted his opponent, attempting to mimic the crazy women whom practiced divination back on his home island in the North Blue. He took a long drag from the cigarette rolled with herbs he finds from island to island. Looking down back at his hand he reaches in his pocket to withdraw a very unimpressive wad of beli. Throwing it on the table, the large brute in front of him mimicing the action **"Neither of us can learn much more from this. I pretty sure you've learned by now you've lost, unless its really that hot in here"** Boss noting the sweat on the red headed man's forehead. He reveales his winning hand and swipes the belli from the table. The spectators all erupt in cheer, Boss leapt from his chair grinning ear from ear. **"Remember the name, it will soon be legendary I tell you. The cards don't lie. Look for me in the newspapers ladies and gentlemen, Boss Z. Gambino!!!!** His spectators began chanting pumping their fist, a 12 hand streak was quite impresive. The large burly man with the red hair and a thick long beard that sat in his lap. He reached for his waist and pointed his flintlock up on the table at Boss. **"You one armed bastard"!!!!**
