Unofficial

Gaines Enfield, known more commonly by his alias Rankime, is a  and a man of dubious morals, despite his station as one of the most powerful and influential keepers of the peace. As an Admiral and marine, it is his duty to hunt down pirates and all those who threaten the and their ideals, however he has been known to let those who entertain or interest him in any capacity to go free, no matter the consequences that may befall him as a result of his actions. While he has a reputation for sparing people from the full might of the marines' on a whim, many have learned to fear the ease at wish he dispatches those he decides don't deserve mercy. Wherever he steps, some form of disaster seems to follow in his wake, even from a young age. The trouble that has stalked him like a persistent predator has him marked as a Child of Disaster.

As one of the most powerful marines at the behest of the World Government, Enfield is naturally a powerful presence on any battlefield. He has had the privilege to consume one of the rarest forms of, a , from a young age. Said fruit is the mysterious Kime Kime no Mi which grants the user the ability to transform into and call upon the power of not one, but four mythological creatures at a whim, namely: a Basilisk, a Nemean Lion, a White Stag and of course a chimeric combination of the three. As a result of eating the fruit, Enfield has become a Chimera Human (キメラ人間). Because of the nature of the fruit there are very few people in the world who know the exact fruit he has consumed, with said few being his fellow Admirals and select Government officials.

Powers and Abilities
As an Admiral of the Marines, Enfield boasts a level of strength that dwarfs all but the most powerful combatants on the seas. His station, as the seat of power within the marines second only to that of the Fleet Admiral, grants him much authority and many responsibilities within the order. He commands thousands of soldiers below his own rank, being able to summon and dismiss them at his leisure, issue orders and create fighting forces to assist him. He can strip those aligned to the World Government of their titles, so long as they do not hold power over him, this includes those of the Shichibukai and Cipher Pol agents. He can structure Buster Call fleets and mobilize them on any island or location he deems a threat to the World Government or balance of the world as a whole. He can even grant others the privilege of enacting said Buster Call, so long as they are agents of the World Government and have sufficient reason for wielding such a power. Outside of the power of his rank, Enfield’s personal strength is among the highest in the world as a whole, being an elite fighter that is capable of facing the likes of powerful individuals such as the Yonko on even ground. He is among the World Government’s most powerful combatants, being essential in keeping the balance of the and the structure of the world as a whole. Even before being named as an Admiral, Enfield was a force to be reckoned with, often sent to eliminate entire pirate crews that proved to be too troublesome for the World Government’s liking. He always eliminated his foes with quick and deadly efficiency, leaving no witnesses to speak of his true strength and thus fostering rumors of a lilac monster who ended lives before they realized they were in any danger.

This reputation has followed him as he rose through the ranks of the marines to become an Admiral, all of his subordinates fearing the danger held behind child-like smiles, innocent giggles and slightly mad eyes. Enfield is also, seemingly, a homing beacon for misfortune and disaster of all shapes and forms. Bad luck follows him as though it were his shadow, from small things such as breaking glass to devastating earthquakes or storms at sea. His rank, the rumors of his deadly combat prowess and the aura of disaster that follows him wherever he goes has caused Enfield’s name to strike fear into the hearts of friend and foe alike. His appearance on a battlefield is cause for many to evacuate in order to save themselves from the destruction that is sure to follow. His prowess in combat and proclivity for jinxes aside, Enfield possesses moderate knowledge in many different fields of study. The arts, music, medicine, if it has been studied odds are Enfield knows something on the subject. He prides himself in his musical abilities, as he can confidently play over eight different instruments as well as sing like no one’s business, however his real skill lay within history. While unknown to many, he is an extremely well learned archaeologist and perhaps one of the only people in the world capable of reading the Ponegylphs. While usually those who can read the tablets would be seen as threats to the World Government, Enfield’s alignment with them has saved him from any possible execution attempts on their behalf, however they still keep a close eye on him even as an admiral of their navy.

Given his own physical capabilities, the mastery with which he wields his Devil Fruit and the experience gained as a marine, Enfield is immensely powerful. The feats he is capable of achieving are far beyond the realm of imagination, only being able to be matched by the likes of other Admirals and the Yonko. He is among the highest echelons of power in the world, keeping the balance between the World Government and the most infamous pirates on the seas, the Yonko, as equal as he possibly can.
