Good day, die. (Have a good day, dear friends and comrades. Do be careful not to injure yourself, especially in this sea. It's no calm belt but there's still the possibility of a sea king and thus, you may die.)
Personal InformationName: Shirotsumi Karasu
Epithet: Tengu
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Blood Type: X type
Age: 17
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 70 Kg
Role In Crew: Enforcer / Infantry
Bounty: 300, 000, 000
Dream: To go back to Wano Island for payback
Appearance Details: While dressed consistently in his Wano-style armor, Karasu does don the normal brown hakama when he's in his own quarter.
Personality: Often quiet and at times stand-offish, this is mainly due to Karasu simply being awkward in trying to talk to others. He often constructs lengthy sentences before trying to blurt it out all at once, often resulting in just one word being said. Further not helped is that he often has his arm crossed around his chest.
Though that being said, this attitude lends well to his duty as an enforcer and infantry. Where he'll often be leading from the front and as the vanguard from time to time. Having little to no fear as he dives into the thickest of fights, inspiring others to do the same and also spurring others for fear of his wrath turning on them should they be found wanting.
Karasu is often found training and honing his skills during his downtime to a religious degree. Swinging heavier weights stuck to his sword with one arm, then the other before training both together with double the weights.
Biography: Hailing from the land of Wano and cast into the treacherous sea at a young age. It was merely luck that Karasu survived what would've been a trip to the bottom of the ocean as he stowaway onto a pirate ship for weeks before managing to land on a habited island. From there on, he managed to make his way from the New World, into the Grand Line and finally, the South Blue sea.
From there on, joining Sea Reaver Pirates initially to dodge the marines that he had preyed upon by stealing their supplies, ship and blackmailing them during his early forays in trying to leave Paradise. He soon rose as a fearsome and strong enforcer for their crew. From there on, Karasu slowly turned his eyes back home after a long decade, Wano.
Yet in the end, it was not to be as during the Honorstar Garrison raid, what was supposed to be a routine operation, turned out into a major disaster. At the heart of the fighting initially before trying to cut a path out for their captain to retreat as the rearguard, Karasu fought desperately till the end but proved to be useless as ultimately, the captain chose not to retreat.
With that, Karasu saved whatever remnants of the Sea Reavers he could before bailing out himself. The sea proved treacherous but compared to what he had seen and gone through before, he eluded capture and regrouped with what was left to decide their next course of action.
Combat InformationCombat Role: Swordsmen
Haki Ryuo Prowess:
Observation - D
Armament - S
Conqueror's - D
Physical Capabilities: Possesses an immense physical strength born from his travels and training of Ryuo. Karasu's strength exceeds most of the crew and was contended only by the elites and Captain Magdalena amongst the Sea Reaver Pirates. Capable of moving and striking as if he was a blur, slicing bullets mid-air after they're been fired was a common sight for him.
While a notable member in South Blue and Paradise, Karasu is well aware that he's still nothing compared to the New World.
Fighting Style: Karasu main sword style is the Jigen-Ryu, focusing purely on using a single sword with two hands, its entire purpose is to cut an enemy down with a single strike. Outside of it, he utilizes his bow and infuses it with Ryuo to allow him to strike through stone and even steel.
Equipment:
- A large great bow
- His single katana sword, ungraded but is made from well forged steel.
- A single-shot pistol that he carries out of emergency.
- The Wano-style armor that he stole from a collector out of nostalgia.
Special Techniques: Hearing stories of the legendary hero Ryuma Shimotsuki and his sword, Shusui, Karasu focused on imbuement specifically that during fights, his sword was always a black sheen. This was partly the reason why he earned such a fearsome reputation as being able to cut overconfident logia users and hardy marines like paper aided his meteoric rise.
Miscellaneous Information:Karasu isn't from the Shirotsumi clan, he comes from the Kurozumi clan.
