Daddy L. Legs



"The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly."

- Legs speaking about her past

Daddy L. Legs (盲・L・蜘蛛) typically referred to as Daddy by her crewmates at her expense, or Black Widow by the, is the and  of the Black Widow Pirates. Because of her dedication to her crew and the seas, the Black Widow Pirates have become a notorious power crew whose reputation instill fears into the other pirates of the ocean, and the marines that operate under the World Government. In recognition of their might, Legs has been named a —four pirate emperors who rule over the second half of the Grand Line, the New World. Regardless, Legs is neither an ally to all pirates, nor an enemy to the World Government, instead choosing to retain complete independence from other organizations that are not in her immediate fleet. Though, regardless of her neutrality, Legs has been pulled into battles over her territories, members of her pirate crew, etc. Throughout it all, Legs is rumored to have never been pierced by a single bullet, for which he has been given the epithet: The Invincible Woman. However, like most pirates of the ocean, Legs history is littered with strife, conflict and misfortune.

Born originally as Koyuki Fukuoka into the during a period of strife and terror between corrupted aristocrats, her family was one who openly renounced the strict codes of the warrior for the unrestrained life of the shinobi. Because of this, and their particular talents, the Fukuoka Clan were commonly employed by the greedy Shoguns of their country; they fought hundreds, if not thousands of other ninja clans competing for the same positions at their aristocrat’s sides. The Fukouka clan became renown as one of the best, and ultimately they emerged as the most skilled of them all. As the daughter of the clan’s patriarch, Koyuki grew up learning the heirs to the shinobi way, and gained notoriety for her skills garnering her the epithet as God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami). However, aside from her skill in ninjutsu, Koyuki was more notably renown for the abilitis granted by her consumption of the Kumo Kumo no Mi which bestowed her with the physiological aspects of the spider species. As a result of her varied, but powerful skillset, it was believed that she would lead her clan into an era of prosperity, but because of her might her previous employers feared what the clan could become. While forseeing this outcome, Koyuki did her best to quell their fears and connect with them, but inevitably was incapable of doing so. Due to her inability to connect with them, the extinction of the Fukuoka Clan was marked by the Feudal lords of the Wano Country.

Instead of sitting by and letting her clan get destroyed, Koyuki, along with her allies, waged war against the Daimyo of the Wano Countries. However, since they were heavily outnumbered, the Fukuoka were left on the verge of extinction as they lost battle after battle. While on the brink of utter defeat, Koyuki awakened her Haoshoku Haki, allowing her to dissipate the armies that came after her. With her newfound powers, she paved a road of bodies for the remainder of her clan into the capital of the daimyo, and slayed him. However, though she had won, the people she fought against continued to fear her. They falsely pronounced her the leader of the nation, and then while she slept she was betrayed and imprisoned in jail for the murder of the daimyo. While awaiting a fair trial, she saw a chance for escape, and took it, leaving behind the land that she unjustly tried to destroy her, becoming a pirate and starting her own crew. Because of her past history of the Wano Country, along with her skillset, the World Government, out of fear of her becoming a direct threat, has placed a 5,000,000,000 bounty on her head. Upon becoming a Yonkō, following the disappearance of the previous, , Legs used her reputation to acquire the loyalty of the and pledged to protect  from any harm. Because of her dedication to their land, the Kuja have proclaimed her the princess of their lands, and have dubbed Legs the Spider Tailed-Horned Viper Queen in reminiscence of the serpent culture, but her arachnid features.

Appearance
While Legs’ has attempted to erase her past, evident by her changing her name, she cannot escape the traditional look of her clansmen, nor the people of Wano. Renown for being a cold, snowy, desolate environment, Legs’ sports a look that her ancestors have spent thousands of years adapting to, not only in efforts to survive, but, in regards to her clan, thrive as well. Every samurai, and shinobi that have left their home country, are recognized for their immense stature, and their unique hairstyle. Descending from a warrior clan who have been involved in battle since the Void Century, Legs’ has the appearance that befits her warrior-nature. Yet, for her people to claim her appearance alone would be foolish, for, since she could remember, the Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Arachne has always been a part of her. In fact, like, the doctor to the old Pirate King, Legs’ typically resides in her hybrid transformation as opposed to her human form.

Unlike other Kumo Kumo no Mi devil fruits, and a great majority of Zoan fruits, Legs’ complete transformation is not entirely animalistic. Arachne, the mythological being, was a demi-human liminal creature, with the upper proportions of a woman, and the lower physique of a spider. Thus, for her to assume any spider features, or mainly the lower proportions of a spider, would simply be the entirety of her transformation. Thus, instead, Legs’ hybrid transformation consists of the upper body of her complete transformation, and her human lower portions, resulting in only a few minor, physical differences. Because of her heritage, and the effects of her devil fruit, Legs’ possesses an enormous physique, standing several feet taller than the average person (men included), peaking at an incredible 315 cm (10’4”)—approximately a foot taller than , and weighing, again credited to her devil fruit, 953 kilograms (2,100 pounds), with only a fraction of that mass being bodily fat, possessing somewhat of a build indicating a great deal of strength.

Though she was certainly chosen for her skill to succeed her father as the patriarch of the clan, Legs' appearance was one that initially brought in her customers. In the presence of government officials, people are either charmed, intimidated, or both. Most cases require these officials to be particularly admirable and approachable. Demonstrating charisma, being particularly talented in all walks of life, and being desirable are among the few things that government officials are taught. The most successful officials are not the ones who solely possess the skills necessary, but are often the ones who are physically desirable. For Legs, being attractive is what ultimately assisted her career. When loyalties were questioned, she could pose as an ambassador without raising suspicions of her background, especially in the lower portions of the Wano Country where mercenaries were much more prevalent. Like most that revolves around her, Leg's beauty is genetic, though her attractiveness is not a fortunate combination of her parent’s chromosomes; it is functional.

The average female spider lays hundreds, if not thousands of eggs after being impregnated, and because of the amount of energy that demands, she either eats her mate or dies. Being a combination of both a spider and human, Legs won't have as many children as that, however the number of offspring she can (and will) produce after reproduction will be surely be more than that of an average human. Thus, her body has adjusted by blessing her with bigger breast so that she can lactate and produce more milk for her youth. Aside from her noticeable bust and tall figure, her skin is as soft and flawless as that of a newborn baby, having been composed of the same proteins that make up spider-silk, a material renown for being strong, but elastic, and thus soft and comfortable. Her waist is thin, but her hips are wide. As a warrior first, and a model second, Legs understood that makeup emits a scent detectable by others. However, she is still a woman, and she enjoys the eyes of men, just a man enjoys the company of a woman. To compromise with her duties as a shinobi, and a woman, Legs refuses to don mascara, but actively wears a shade of red lipstick. From this, it's obvious that Legs' appearance is gravely affected by her background. These codes have been etched into her for decades, and although she has consciously rejected them, her body has been molded to become the perfect warrior. During her time as a shinobi, her bright, blue hair was shoulder-length, preventing her opponents from using its length to their benefit, her monochromatic eyes as intense as the barrel of a musket, and her breast and bosom were shielded by her clothes. As she rose among the ranks of her ninja brethren, ultimately becoming one of an elite status, Legs' complacency gradually molded her. She became less strict with her comrades, and by extension herself. Over the years, since her skills were polished, she allowed her hair to grow longer, thicker, and more decorative: two shoulder length braids frame both sides of her face, while the rest, in the back, reach to graze the earth, stopping only a few inches away from her ankles. In her earlier years, Legs was known for her desire to wear the appropriate armor. For her, it symbolized that she was held on equal footing with the men shinobi around her, especially considering many the Wano Country military might consist of very few women.

When she progressed, and gained a name for herself, she abandoned this armor in favor for a suit that allowed her to stand out among her comrades. Prior to working for the Shogun, she wore a maroon suit, with a white blouse underneath, completed by brown shoes. Soon after the Shogun employed her to guard him directly, Legs' attire changed. Having attained a rather plentiful amount of currency, she has spoiled herself in all the luxuries of the world. She dons a variety of outfits dependent upon the occasion, and very rarely travels without a change of clothes for each day she will be away from her home. Though, rather than the conservative suit that masked her body from the world, most Legs' outfits are now quite revealing, though they generally occupy her cleavage, and other body parts that are inappropriate to show in public. Though, all her habits aren't necessarily good. Hardened by war, and conflict, Legs has means of coping with the painful memories of the past. Almost constantly, she is seen smoking a cigarette, regardless of the situation.

Personality
In part because of Leg's isolation from the remainder of the world for a large portion of her young life, she never gained the necessary social skills needed to interact with other people, and thus she is incredibly introverted. Yet, even after her isolation, her prodigal growth rate, and unique abilities left a trench of fear between her clients, and even her own clansmen, which ultimately led to betrayal in both regards. Because of this, Legs developed the necessity to function entirely on her own. Self-independence, instead of being a defining trait, became an instinct to her. As an independent woman, Legs rarely ever ask for help of any sort, but she is not afraid of asking others for information to better herself. Determined and assertiveness is second nature to her as she believes that to improve herself and advance beyond her limitations, she must not be hesitant in acquiring the necessary tools to do so. In regards to Legs, she follows the motivation that your own life is your own responsibility. Whether or not one appreciates it, is up to them. Her motto is simply that life is for the takers and participators, those who take calculated risk and participate in activities that guarantee success are the ones who will succeed. For this, she is very decisive, for no other word exist within her own vocabulary.

Because of this mentality and her upcoming, Legs does not have dreams, rarely wishing for anything, instead using her own abilities to achieve what she wants. Responsible for her own fate, a trait engraved into her personality, Legs does not believe in complaining. Forced to accept herself as whom she was, a danger to society, forced to grow up in a world that hated her, Legs understood that making excuses would rarely change the situation. She had to accept the negative aspects of her life and better them herself, turning the negatives into the positives. Complaining, in her perspective, is for people who do not possess the capabilities to better themselves, essentially those who wish not to try. Those people are the worst kind of people, slackers. Complaining is simply a waste of energy, believing that this energy can better be served for assessing, challenging and solving the adversities in her life. Legs finds it completely implausible that many want success and other rewards in life, but refuses to put in the necessary work and sacrifices to do so and when they do not reach their goals, they blame everyone else.

To Legs, she finds fault in these types of people and rarely associates with them. Slackers who realize that they won't get far in life, despite not wishing to better themselves, are respected by Legs because of their realization in their actions. Legs's motto is simple, regarding that what each and every person strives for is what they deserve, nothing more and nothing less. In essence, Legs is not one who deals with nonsense, a complete realist. She rarely sugarcoats the situation, however despite being a realist she appreciates life, loves how one can learn positive and negative things, generally enjoying improving herself. Improvement bestows worth, and nothing comforts Legs more than realizing that she is worth something, which she has done through her career as a Samurai, and currently as a Spy. She believes in being a contributor to life, for only then when you experience life, can you truly be referred to as an authentic and full person. A contributor is someone who leaves a mark on the world, making an imprint on life. Making use of her career, Legs seeks to exhibit her self worth, displaying her intelligence and talents. When partaking in her career, Legs experiences a self-realization, for nothing makes a woman more self-realized and full than a satisfying career. It is the ultimate aphrodisiac and elixir in her eyes. Besides that, having a career means power and power has its own rewards. Being powerful means calling a shot which translates into ownership, and nothing proves more important to Legs than being in complete control of her own fate.

More than believing that she should have her own career that successfully embodies her desires, Legs also believes that being the best at that regarded career is worth even more. She thrives off of being in charge, the one whom everyone looks to for answer, for being responsible for others equate to power. For this reason, Legs believes that being highly intelligent, and prodigiously intuitive is needed for one to truly succeed. Her pride, her desire to release her hidden potential, caused her to develop the mentality that she is the best and that no one can do the job better than she. As a result, it is her job to be a mentor and to help others, cultivating, encouraging, and develop their human potential to the fullest for the good of the village. To her power is an integral part of the human mold, for one has power which means that can be highly proactive and influential to society, something that she embodies. Those without power are often at the burden of others.

Legs, is one with power, refusing to be on a proverbial leash, only answering to the thing that has proven to provide power universally: money. Women who are often overly independent often seek to be superior to men, to enslave them and often perceive them as below them.. However, Legs, despite being overly independent does not view the opposing gender as such. Seeing everyone as an equal individual, Legs simply wishes to be equal to the opposing gender, perceiving men as just regular people, nothing more and nothing less. In her opinion, men are not threatened by a successful woman, but rather would welcome one who has the ability to stand alongside them, capable of working on conjunction and supporting them rather than being a burden to them. However, because she holds such high standards for herself, Legs does the same for the men she choose to date, requiring them to be emotionally, financially stable and their abilities to rival or surpass her own. Someone who is insecure, lacking in power, dependent or in possession of a weak motto are perceived as weak by Legs, thus are not capable of marrying her. While she wishes for someone capable of matching her own prowess, financially and abilities wise, Legs does not mind if someone she dates is not as powerful or even makes less money than herself.

The only requirement is stability, requiring that he contributes to the relationship emotionally and to the best of his abilities. Wishing not to subscribe to such outdated and utterly sexist paradigms and philosophies, Legs believes that a person's abilities and financial status is not measured based upon one's gender, but rather on their qualifications. She feels that it is quite normal for a woman to be in a different league than a man, not fearing being the protector and financial provider if the family requires it, though she would prefer to work in conjunction to fulfill the responsibilities along with the one she wishes to marry. Commonly, those who are extreme feminist, often subject themselves to breaking stereotypes of the "perfect woman", refusing to learn how to cook for certain reason, rejecting certain training methods, and even subjecting oneself to poor hygiene. Unlike these extreme feminist, Legs does not mind being wildly and uninhibitedly sexy and feminine. To her, being feminine, beautiful and sexy are not antithesis to being independent, powerful and liberated. Viewing stereotypes as limits to society, Legs has not educated herself in the following, thus defying them is near impossible. To attempt to defy a stereotype for the sake of doing so, is simply limiting her capabilities as a human being. Refusing to accept that an independent woman can not be feminine and beautiful, Legs takes great pride in her appearance and the manner in which she acts, refusing to see those traits as oxymoron to a liberated woman.

History
The details of Legs' birth are largely unconfirmed, and are shrouded in an intentional mystery that was buried with her the rest of her clan's corpses. Even by her own admission, Legs is uncertain of the truths behind the day she was brought into the world, and her only remaining outlook to her past are through the tales that her parents and fellow clansmen spoke to her. Whereas people spend much of their life without devil fruits and devour them only in adulthood through sheer accident, or as a means to obtain power, Legs has been cursed with the pleasure her entire life. The day of her birth, she was born extremely pale, overwhelming underweight, and her heartbeat was particularly faint. He wasn’t expected to live past a month or two. Yet, her parents sought a cure for their newborn child. One of their warriors returned with a fruit that was said to have mystical powers, and desperately they fed it to her. As the Sea Devil’s will coursed through the child’s body, mind, and soul, it had guaranteed its safety; Legs was alive. Yet, her parents had not realized the price that they paid for her life. However, they quickly learned. By the time Legs was a year old, several incidents of sorcery had occurred around her. She would spontaneously sprout extra arms, eyes, spit silk, etc. Though, the most alarming situation was their child could not stand in her baths; he’d fall down, and lose consciousness.

They eventually took her to an onmyoji who did her best to diagnose the child’s condition. Though, as the Wano Country had rarely experienced devil fruit, they referred to Legs as a natural born sorcerer, whose weakness was water. Her parents employed the Onymoji to teach the child about her mysterious sorcery, while simultaneously isolating her from the rest of the world. For years, Legs’s only friend was her educator, and the only others whom she was allowed to speak with were her parents. However, as years passed, Legs's very existence had begun to be questioned by their clansmen. The people of the Fukuoka Clan were in desire to see their future patriarch, yet her parents' concerns were not a distant memory. It was certainly true that by the time she was eight years old, Legs had a proficiency over her sorcery that was unprecedented among individuals who possessed similar feats in the past, and even her skills as a shinobi were quite advanced. Her parents did not fear her ability to control herself, but what they feared were the reactions of their clansmen: would they hate her? Would they want her dead? Would they assassinate her themselves? They were torn between their inability to predict the mindset of their clan, and ultimately chose to restrain her encounters for an even longer period of time.

What they did had little effect on the clan; they wanted nothing more than to meet their future heir, and they respected her for it, but what it did was raise the suspicions of the aristocrats of the Wano Country. When she was thirteen, her parents, pressured by the Onymoji to allow Legs to meet others, as she believed it to be the only way to ensure she truly had control, they opened their manor to the public for the first time since her birth. Using her birthday as an occasion, they introduced Legs to the world through a party; it was a grand occasion, and hundreds of individuals gathered to meet the child. Yet, it was Legs who had prepared for the moment more than anyone. The training intensified in the final days till her debut, and by the time of the actual party, he was fortunate to not have been completely exhausted. For a moment, it had seemed that everything happened perfectly, until one of the visitors attempted to dig her sword into Legs's flesh. Unarmed, Legs responded with the only weapon that he had in her arsenal, and conjured a stream of poison from her mouth. When she watched as the poisons ripped apart their flesh, melting them into a pool of blood, her clan rejoiced as their future matriarch proved her worth was a warrior. He stared at death apathetically. To them, that was a sign of strength. To the aristocrats of the Wano Country, that was a threat.

Following the success in her introduction to the universe, her parents faith in her did nothing less than multiply. She was given the responsibility of leading her clansmen into battle, to deal directly with other ambassadors, and to train the newer generation of shinobi. In each task that was assigned to her, Legs succeeded. She was truly a genius among the Fukuoka clan, and praised as the best of her generation. However, as she excelled, what contrasted the love and adoration from her clan was the malice of other clans, and the fear from the aristocrats. Ultimately, what moved the Wano Country into action was the annihilation of a town ordered to the Fukuoka. With haste, Legs assembled her best shinobi and ventured across the country to deal with the threat, and within a day's battle the entire opposition remained obliterated. Following the incident, the fearful shoguns and daimyō's ordered a collective massacre of the Fukuoka clan. Pooling their resources together, they assembled hundred of thousands of men to participate, and within days of their decision they marched to the Fukuoka's residence. Despite their strength, the Fukuoka stood very little chance against the superior numbers of the army, and fell prey; shinobi after shinobi they were killed.

Yet, almost ignoring their losses, were the heads of the clan: Legs and her parents. They fought fiercely on the front lines, but even their overwhelming strength was overrun. When Legs's father fell down from exhaustion, her enemies' sword dug into the back of her throat. At the same moment, her mother turned out of reaction to see her fallen husband, and that distraction gave her opponent the opportunity to slash her into two. When, Legs turned and watched, she would've been next. Yet, her shrieks sent chills into her opponent as they swung their blade, knocking them, and others in the nearby vicinity, unconscious. However, she too fell unconscious from the exhaustion of fighting, and the trauma of losing her parents. Legs awoke in a cave surrounded by the remainder of her clansmen; five, excluding her, had survived the battle fortunately. Consumed by vengeance, Legs promised her clan to take the heads of those who exterminated her clan, and believing her to be a savior, they cheered in agreement. Within weeks of recuperating, and preparations, they charged the allied clan's castle, and were met with an army no smaller than the original army. To this day, Legs had very little idea how they managed to fight through, but with each progression they made it was at the expense of a clansmen.

By the time they reached the interior of the manor, only Legs and the Onymoji remained. Regardless, with ferocity, they pushed through the forces. They were winning, until the Onymoji, having aged a great deal since Legs's birth, fell on the battlefield. The enemy took her time to shove the sword into her stomach; Legs watched in horror as her best friend, and mentor fell in battle. She screamed threats desperately as she tried to recover her mentor, but with each second she used to defend herself against the horde, another blade was struck into the Onmyoji's lifeless corpse. When she finally reached him, it was clear that he was dead, and then Legs was truly overcome with vengeance; her conqueror's Haki had truly awakened. Anyone that approached her fell weak as the pressure of her will threatened their very sanity. To get to the palace's room, Legs did no more than walk there as the soldiers felt the might of her charisma. Immediately, soldiers leaped desperately to combat her, but even their elite guards fell unconscious as they approached her. The Wano country aristocrats begged for their lives, but in cold blood, and in the honor of her clan, Legs cut them down.

Physical Abilities
As the of a Yonkō-level crew, Legs boast a great deal of fighting power that most pirates on the ocean claim to be quite monstrous in comparison. While many may owe her incredible reservoirs of physical talents to the decade where she devoted herself to her training in the ways of the shinobi, Legs herself argues that the bulk of her power originates from her consumption of the Kumo Kumo no Mi. Among her varying talents, what has truly gained Legs recognition as the Invincible Woman is her superhumanly durable body. Because she possesses spider DNA within her own genome, Legs’ skin, instead of keratin—the protein that is used to provide toughness to the flesh—is infused with the natural proteins that go into making spider-silk itself. As a result, because spider-silk itself is stronger than Kelvar, Legs’ skin is entirely resistant to bullets, and most other weaponry that is used to harm others. However, even among these individuals, there are few others who can even claim to have even touched such a holy, porcelain skin. The Palpimanus gibbulus is a spider renown for its ability to hunt other spiders. With ease, it can burrow into its fellow predator's home, destroy their colony, eat their children, and return entirely unscathed. The reason is that it is more durable than the food it eats. Hosting the genetics of this spider within her veins, Legs possesses an incredibly durable exoskeleton that serves as a layer between her and the outside world. Despite her rumored invincibility, early in her career, a few pirates have shown the ability to break through her exoskeleton. However, like the typical spider, Legs is able to grow it back, though it takes a few hours and her exoskeleton is left incredibly soft afterwards until it finishes completion.

Yet, for her body to bare witness to an exoskeleton, and for it not to collapse under its extreme weight, Legs herself must bear forth a strength, and density to withstand the pressures of the skeleton itself. As such, like the Palpimanus Gibbulus, Legs has body tissue almost five times stronger than the normal person: skin, muscles, bone, etc. As a result, she has increased levels of durability allowing her to withstand damage, and pressure. Most arachnids, and other small insects, carry leaves, rocks, minerals, and even birds for long distances without tiring. Often times, these materials weigh several times their body weight. It was only natural that Legs, just as she had with every other attribute the spider offered, was blessed with a similar skill. She is largely capable of lifting one hundred and seventy times of her own weight, and exerting a force similar to that. In addition, because her muscles are five times the density of what they would be without the Palpimanus soul, and since she is already capable of lifting five times that of the her weight with the amount of muscle mass she would have if she was born without the extra muscle mass, she is blessed with the ability to lift eight hundred and sixty five her own weight. Because of her strength, many of her enemies perceive her to be slow, yet for such an assumption to be made would simply be foolish, and has cost other pirates their lives against her.

The fastest arachnid in the world is capable of running a little over eleven miles per hour, meaning it runs approximately three hundred and thirty times its body length. By the time, she was three years old, Legs was capable of running on water itself. Unlike these camel spiders, Legs is gifted with five times the muscle mass, amplifying her proportions to one-thousand, six hundred, and sixty five times that of her body length. Even without her shinobi training, simply growing taller was enough to improve Legs' speed, but she had trained, and that too had an affect on her physique. Shinobi were trained to counter samurai, one of the more durable, aggressive, and skilled fighters in the entire world, so much that the World Government itself strayed from entering the Wano Country out of fear of being defeated. When Legs zips through the world at 715mph, she does not leave afterimages; she's simply too quick. Instead, whether an opponent is looking or not, she is simply gone.

Unlike the typical man, should Legs decide to watch herself in battle, she would be perfectly capable of tracking herself, like most pirates who have assumed a speed that is fairly renown. Legs possesses a very unique eyesight, gained from her devouring of the Kumo Kumo no Mi, that allows her to see into the ultraviolet spectrum, and a fourth primary color. Whereas a human is born with a single layer of photoreceptive cells, the retinas in Legs's eyes have four photoreceptive layer, in which the two of the layers contain ultraviolet-sensitive pigments. As a result, sees the world as if it's constantly under black light. Besides authenticating antiques, enjoying paintings severely more than the average person, detecting bacteria and plague, and seeing through counterfeit money and unofficial documents, Legs sees through any forms of invisibility or illusions. In addition to her ability to see ultraviolet light, Legs's eyes are essentially telescopes. Her two Anterior Median eyes are extremely long, and tubular, allowing for higher magnification. The eyes are composed of a lens towards the front, a large tube, and a second lens at the end which, unlike the outer lens, is very flexible. By adjusting the shape and angle of the secondary lens, Legs is capable of focusing and zooming in on whatever she wants to. It is without a doubt that her eyes can pierce even the farthest of objects, however because of how they are arranged, being more like telescopes than eyes, the field of vision is incredibly low, ranging from two to five percent. It was for this reason that Legs actively followed her opponent, and never let them out of her sight. Although they were quick, her visual acuity allowed her to see their every moment and track them accordingly. However, in cases where she was facing multiple opponents, or an opponent to quick for her, she was helpless. Eventually, she concluded that she'd need to tap into her devil fruit if she were to progress any further, and her master helped her do that. Succeeding her six years training, Legs returned with the ability to manifest the extra eyes that her genetics blessed her with. With another pair of eyes on her face, and two pairs towards the back of her head, she effectively solved her issue. Though, obvious by the lack of a tube, they lack the extraordinary resolution of her Anterior Median Eyes, each pair of eyes has a broad field of view that nearly supplies Legs with three-hundred and sixty-degree vision.

Most animals often judge distance through the use of two eyes. Because they are appropriately spaced apart, a rather far distance, they can see images at different angles and triangulate the approximate distances. Other animals that have compound eyes bob their heads or move them side to side so that the closer objects will move across their field of vision much faster than farther away objects. Unlike either of these animals, the jumping spider judges distance through the use of a process known as image defocusing. Because a spider's eyes have multiple layers of photoreceptive cells, with one layer being sensitive to ultraviolet light, and the bottom layers being sensitive to green light. The green sensitive photoreceptors distance from the lens impact the quality of the image however, as only the light is focused in the deepest layer whereas the other sensitive retinal layer receives defocused, or fuzzy images. Dependent upon how defocused an image is, the spider will get depth cues, since the amount of defocus is proportional to the distance of the object from the lens. This happens in real time, and is very quickly processed by the brain, allowing these spiders to target and accurately strike their prey a majority of the time with only a single glance. In addition to inheriting this computer-like vision, Legs has acquired the ability that many spend years training for: night vision. In her eye, Legs possesses a layer of tissue that reflects visible light through the retina increasing the amount of light available to the photoreceptors. In the depths of the sea, in a cave, or just under the moon, Legs is capable of seeing almost as perfectly as she is during the daytime. When humans fear for the dark approaching them during their travels, Legs welcomes it, for it gives her an advantage over her mere human brethren. While Legs eyesight is truly godly and superhuman in regards to the opportunities it opens for her in daily life, she can not admit that is it truly perfect. While her several eyes grant her nearly three hundred and sixty degree vision, there are a few blind spots, and those are ones that her enemies could capitalize if not for her ability, like all spiders of her class, to sense vibrations throughout the air. In her body, she possesses an organ capable of detecting vibrations; the organ consist of parallel slits of different lengths, similar to the strings of a harp, which detects movement by opening and closing depending on the force exerted upon it. These slits are directly connected to the nerves that relay the information of the vibrations to the brain, which processes it and determines the size, and location from the creature creating the force.

Thus, for a spider, with their eyesight, seismic sensing, a large, complex brain is absolutely required. An arachnid's brain is so large in fact that it spools into their legs. Thankfully, Legs' cranium is large enough to hold her organ, but because of the Kumo Kumo no Mi it is in fact larger than others, and thus she has exponentially more neural pathways than the average person that extend all throughout her body that allow her to maintain her eight eyes, several appendages, and various metabolic processes, and simultaneously be aware of all of them. Comparatively, a spider's nervous system allows them send electrical signals nearly twenty times that of a human, and as a Zoan Devil Fruit Eater, Legs gained this ability in the same proportion. Whereas most people have reaction times of two-hundred and fifty miliseconds, and since shinobi are often on the higher end of the scale with reflexes with reflexes of one-hundred and twenty miliseconds due to training to hone them, Legs herself holds a record-high reaction time in the shinobi forces with a simple twelve milliseconds. Among her fellow shinobi, her reflexes were recognized as virtually instantaneous, and in truth they are the closest one can get. The human brain processes images at a rate of thirteen miliseconds, thus the time it takes for one to see a picture and recognize what it is, Legs can react to an attack consciously. The benefit to this isn't just that her reaction time is superior to most, but because one can not react before perception, her ability to perceive is increased tenfold as well. Within two miliseconds, her brain can process images, giving her literal computer like perception. The world around Legs appears to be moving in slow motion, allowing her to decipher movements, techniques, and any other kinds of tricks with relative ease since she can detect changes within a literal millisecond.

Typically, as one gets older, they begin to lose their reflexes, speed, stamina, and strength simply based on the unfortunate circumstance that cells begin to become less efficient as they age. For Legs, this would not be the case as her Kumo Kumo no Mi blesses her with the genes of the tarantula. Whereas other spiders die within a year, a tarantulas don't reach adulthood until their six year old due to a dramatic enhancement of their telomere through genetic evolution. As a result of the effects of her devil fruit, Legs' life span too found itself enhanced beyond all measures. Tarantulas are able to continue molting eve into adulthood, allowing them to regenerate lost limbs, and organs for the rest of their lives. Their cells are pluripotent, and are able to proliferate and regenerate until they eventually die. Similar to lizards, and jellyfish, scientist have attempted to use tarantulas as a means of acquiring eternal youth. Tarantulas, just like Legs, are incapable of extending their telemores, but what they both are able to do, credited to the tarantulas ability to molt for eternity, is produce more stem cells. The human body has a reserve of stem cells that it can use whenever it needs to grow, or heal the body. Because people suffer injuries, this often causes the reserve to be used more quickly, until they eventually run out. Stem cells are the cells that proliferate, and become tissue for other organs. Without the ability to heal these organs, the human body fails to function, and dies. Whenever Legs uses a stem cell, before it leaves for duty, is undergoes mitosis and replaces itself with another. When this occurs, the body essentially creates another cell that can be used, supplying Legs with an infinite supply of cells for the rest of eternity. Coupling this reservoir of stem cells with the slowed aging process of her own life span, Legs has achieved a unique form of eternal youth. Her cells function at their prime for as long as they can, then towards the end of their life cycle, stem cells proliferate to replace them, and mature. As a result, she doesn't grow younger, but rather stays the same age and has upon reaching maturation.

It is a common misconception that spiders have eight appendages. Without argument, Arachne are blessed with eight powerful, and long legs that grant them a level of agility unrivaled by their fellow, yet they possess another pair of limbs that are almost like arms known as pedipalps. Because of this, Legs has inherited ten limbs that she can use, and is in possession of three extra pair of arms giving her a total of eight. Positioned proportionally, she is capable of using their full range of motion without injuring herself or causing them to collide, allowing her to use the arms just as she would if she had two. As a result, she can hold multiple tools at once, or do a variety of techniques at a single period of time. Though rare, there do exist spiders that are host to a very long tail. Having devoured an arachnid of this kind, Legs was blessed with a prehensile tail of her own. Like with the spider, her tail has a variety of uses that benefits her. Because of it, she has a level of balance uncommon in most humans. Leaping across rocky terrain, onto a thin wire, or even riding a hurricane poses very little challenge, and in the rare case that she does lose her balance, she can recover near instantaneously. Having been categorized as prehensile, Legs is able to use her tail as an additional arm. Using it, she can grip objects, her surroundings, or even strike an opponent with a force rivaled only by one of her fist. However, because her tail has proven so influential, retracting it, or cutting it off, has proven disadvantages to her being. Whenever the tail is lost, Legs finds herself unable to properly walk or stand in general, requiring her to molt and grow another, or to simply sit down. In addition, because of the amount of nerves and mitochondria that occupy the tail, it generates a great deal of her energy, an thus when removed Legs has a noticeable lack of power, and if gripped too hard, she freezes up entirely from the pain. Because of the sensitivities of her tail, Legs wraps her extra appendage around her waist to prevent it from being grabbed or injured during a battle.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of Legs consuming the fruit, aside from sparing her life, was she gained necessary adaptions to survive the frigid and cold environment of the Wano Country. When her clan fell in battle and retreated to caves to survive, more members died during the simple waiting period from the sheer cold. For Legs, the cold itself is simply much more tolerable, and when the shinobi were sent to walk naked against the elements to hone their bodies, she was able to do it without any signs of discomfort of cold. Like the spiders who dwell in the snowy caverns of the world where the average temperature is typically between zero and four Celsius, Legs had been blessed with antifreeze proteins that prevent her cells and tissue from freezing. Because of these proteins, Legs is able to survive in temperature downwards to -40 degrees Celsius. Almost contrastingly, Legs is also able to survive in intense instances of heat. Contrary to popular belief, Legs can not suffer any more water-loss than her human counterpart, however her body is more suited to dealing with heat and preventing water-loss. The Camel Spider is capable of surviving and functioning in 50 degrees Celsius for a continuous twenty four hours before death disregarding their natural ability to burrow in the earth to cool themselves. Thus the deserts of the world, whose extremes barely touch 40 degree Celsius, pose very little threat to Legs' stability, as she can withstand those temperatures even prior to her mammalian ability to sweat and cool herself. Though, even in these temperatures, It is rare for Legs core temperature to reach those extremes. Because of the fine hairs she possesses, as a result of her spider-heritage, she is insulated from the heat As she walks, her hair floats up, allowing cooler air to pass over her skin, and because of her fine bristles of hair, when she does sweat, they slow the rate at which the sweat falls of from her body granting more time for it to evaporate on the skin.

Yet, despite all of these skills and talents, what outshines their reputation is Legs' own appetite. With the power to send restaurants out of business, they're very few people who can challenge Legs in an eating competition. The average woman requires fourteen calories by weight, but those women who are active requires approximately eighteen calories per pound. Because, Legs weighs five times the average woman, her minimum calorie intake per day would be 10,350 without any other physiological affects changing it. Legs is a fusion between a woman and spider, and though she is given benefits that many beg for, her body is often forced to use an extraordinary amount of energy to generate a variety of chromosomes and genes of each spider and their associated species. Though, it must be especially careful to reduce as much deleterious mutation as possible. Because of its activity, coupled with her particularly dangerous and adventurous lifestyle, Legs body demands that she consumes even more food to ensure that her body does not begin cannibalizing her own life energy. At the end of the day, she consumes on average 67,275 calories, or one hundred and twenty two meals to maintain her daily activities. Though, for Legs there exist things she can not simply consume if she does not wish to be inebriated. While alcohol itself can do the job, even twenty drinks (Assuming it has a standard Alcohol content of 4-6%) in an hour would only place her under the influence. However, because it is rare for anyone to consume twenty drinks in a single hour, Legs rarely gets to such a point based off alcohol alone. Caffeine has a major effect on her body, as she is incapable of processing it correctly, and thus even a a smaller portion of caffeine, such as the caffeine in a drink of soda, would leave Legs heavily intoxicated.

Fighting Style
Having been exposed to the ways of the ninja since her complicated birth, Legs has been etched into the traditions of the warrior for as long as she can truly remember. Though, she was originally only meant to serve as a housewife, it was Legs' physical enhancements that proved to her elders and father she possessed a talent that should have been drawn out, allowing her to undergo the entirety of the training. Though, not in hopes she would become the best of her ability, but in hopes that this would raise her reputation and provide them the opportunity to wed her to a more noble house than intended originally. Regardless of intentions, Legs came to master the principles of the ninja. A samurai is defined by their swordsmanship. Their ability to use a blade correctly, and almost supernaturally is why people cherish their services. To them, a blade is an extension of their body, and for their sword to be powerful, their body must be equally strong. Though a ninja by definition, Legs was trained to resist the might of the samurai. For them to fulfill their role, they require a physical condition that far surpasses that of the average civilian. To leap from rooftop to rooftop, to survive countless numbers of minutes underwater without any air, and to be able to escape murder scenes within relative short periods of time is just a few of the various things that a shinobi has to be capable of doing.

Despite her natural talents, Legs' conditioned herself in a variety of ways (weights, shadow-boxing, countless hours of severe punishment), but more severe than all was her battling the elements themselves: standing nude in deep snow, voluntarily going without food and water, and sometimes extreme drinking were some of the practices used to increase endurance and vigor. In terms of application, taijutsu is simply the name for a collection of martial arts that shinobi use. True to her theme as a shinobi, Legs was exposed to these fighting styles as a child so that she could truly excel as a ninja. Several martial arts are used to makeup Legs' general overview of taijutsu: Karate, Jujutsu, Judo, Aikido. Through the art of Karate, Legs' uses their principles of striking, kicking and blocking. Through, Jujutsu and Judo she has mastered their grappling and throwing techniques. Lastly, by studying Aikido the Yonko learned about joint locks and pressure points. Because of her strong emphasis of combining several martial art styles together which focus on specific techniques of combat, her taijutsu is more of a free form which allows her to adapt in battle just as a shinobi should. Rather than have complicated steps and stances that attempt to dictate the battle, Legs uses the solid foundation that she has in each respective martial art to counter his opponent and bring them down by striking where they are weak. Naturally her ability to adapt proves as an formidable offense, but because she can respond with various techniques and styles it seems that Legs' defense is much more impressive.

Swordsmanship
A samurai is defined by his swordsmanship, and their philosophies revolve heavily around the blade. How one advances through the ranks is not through proving their physical abilities, devotion to bushido, but whether they have good sword-techniques. Growing up as a warrior to combat these samurai forces, Legs too learned the ways of the blade. Everyday, Legs trained with bamboo—a plant blessed with the same density as human bone—to cut it perfectly. If the end was slightly curved, it meant that her technique was flawed; one precise cut is the way of the samurai. She would start over until she was able to cut one perfectly, then would continue to cut the others in rapid succession to create fluidity. But, in the Wano Country, a samurai's swordsmanship is measured by their proficiency in their most favored art: Iaidō. Though, despite what many think, Iaidō is not a technique meant for combat. In fact, the samurai view using such a technique as impractical, however many have used it effectively in combat. It uses a combination of feigns, speed, and reflexes. Fortunately, Legs's devil fruit blessed her with the speed and reflexes necessary.

Taking advantage of her computer-like reflexes, Legs uses the essential principle of Iaidō: feigning. By pretending to move in one direction, she forces her opponent to respond, then as they are responding she switches her position to surprisingly deal damage with proper Kenjutsu techniques. Her Iaidō is so spontaneous, and quick that she renders parrying nearly impossible in her presence. Whereas samurai that use Iaidō pick their attacks carefully, Legs tends to blitz her opponent with a barrage of sword-techniques, relying on her incredible reaction time, and her ability to sense vibrations, to accurately detect and respond to an attack should an opening present itself. Because she uses offense to attack, and to defend, Legs naturally prefers to use more than one blade, and is among thousands of other samurai that do so. Since her reflexes are superhuman, even for these elite master swordsman, she rarely finds splitting her concentration between six blades more dangerous than using one, whereas they have to be more careful.

Ninja Art
Shinobi are considered mythological creatures throughout the world, including the New World. They are rumored to have supernatural powers that allow them to bend the laws of reality itself, and thus are highly coveted by employers outside of the Wano Country. Although Legs appreciates the comments of her might, she has admitted those rumors are beyond truth. However, she, herself, claims to be capable of the feats people speak of alone. Unlike the shinobi of her country, she does not use illusions or tricks, but rather the powers of her devil fruit to bring her tactics to fruition.
 * Enton no Jutsu (煙遁の術 Enton no Jutsu?, literally meaning "Smoke Escape Technique"): Taught by her parents and tutors for an unquantifiable amount of time, the Enton no Jutsu is a technique that Legs is extremely comfortable with. This technique is perhaps the most famous of the shinobi's arsenal. Those without their secrets equate it to a form of mysticism in which the user teleports from their area to another. In truth, the shinobi simply use a form of high sped movement, and disguises such with the smoke around them; it is a valuable technique for any ninja. For someone of Legs' craft—a true assassin who tends to avoid confrontation with other ninja—this proves valuable as it allows her to assassinate whomever she needs to and escape without a trace. For such reason, this technique is perhaps Legs' most used technique even during hand to hand combat. Credited to the effects of her devil fruit—which allows her to move thousands of time her body length naturally—Legs is able to relocate to other areas at greater speeds than the average ninja. Because of this, the range of where she is able to "teleport" to is much larger.
 * Bunshin no Jutsu (分身の術 Bunshin no Jutsu?, literally meaning "Clone Technique"): Although most people are unaware of this, there exist a species of spiders dedicated to crafting decoys of themselves to deceive their targets. Their bodies naturally reflect ultraviolet and other light, and by crafting silk that does the same thing, they are able to give off their same color, which confuses their predators. In hindsight, this is similar to a ninja who make use of clones and decoys based, but typically their clones are speed-based illusions. Unlike her fellow shinobi, and similar to a variety of, Legs is able to form tangible clones of herself, spun from silk, and by molding them to reflect her color, she is able to create a perfect physical replica of herself indistinguishable by appearance from her own.
 * Kawarimi no Jutsu (変わり身の術 Kawarimi no Jutsu?, literally meaning "Substitution Technique"): By combining the Enton no Jutsu, and Bunshin no Jutsu, Legs pioneered the creation of the Kawarimi no Jutsu, which allows her to substitute herself with a clone. By di

Devil Fruit
Only days after her birth, Legs was fed the Kumo Kumo No Mi as a way to preserve her fading life, and while she was bestowed with a vitalized life force, she soon found her body altered by the fruit forever. Essentially, she is capable of turning into the spider species, and because of the distinct lack of model, Legs has access to a larger myriad of spider forms than someone would who consumed a more specialized alternate of the devil fruit. Because Legs has been host to the devil of the Kumo Kumo no Mi for nearly all of her born life, she has naturally learned the ways of the fruit, and has become accustomed to its powers longer than most devil fruit users. As such, she is a master of her powers, and have mastered her transformations to an extent that most people consider unusual. She's capable of shifting forms without any indication of transforming, in addition to being able to do so with such precision that she can consciously alter specific parts of her body while retaining the original characteristics of another portion.

Arachne, the Beloved
"The Seal devil is someone who selects royalty. Before long, this world will need to select a king…a person who has mastered magic. A person that others will flock to because of his righteousness. A king like no other. This person must be sought out, found, and then chosen. He will be trained by the wise and then elevated to become a king of unprecedented grandeur. To even take the place of the beloved sea devil themselves. I truly believe Daddy is this person."

- Legs’ followers speaking of her might.

In the eyes of the world, Legs’ powers do not even befit that of a devil fruit user, but one of a true goddess, capable of shaping the world to her vision. Arachne, the first of her spiders, prior to her transformation was revered for her ability to weave tapestry: "Arachne, for her part, created a tapestry showcasing scenes of Zeus’ various infidelities: Leda with the Swan, Europa with tbe Bull, Danae and the Golden rain shower. So exquisite was the mortal’s work that the bull seemed lifelike, swimming across the tapestry with a real girl on his shoulders." Akin to the truths of this myth, one of the mythical properties of this devil fruit that distinguishes it from the normal Kumo Kumo no Mi Zoans is that Legs can bring life to things she weaves with her webs. By weaving a tapestry of a mage producing unprecedented magic, whether such event occurred in history or not matters, for Legs is quite capable of breathing such action into existence. With a simple mold, Legs can churn tornados, craft blizzards, teleport countries themselves, and raise dungeons. However, because they are generated from her life force, the more she creates, the closer that she gets to dying. As compensation for her generation of creatures, Legs’ requires the life force of human beings, and thus to strengthen her life energy, she must consume the life force of other individuals, either by devouring them whole, or by absorbing portions of their life force through her webs.

For this reason, Legs requires the citizens of her islands to pay a toll monthly, like that of Big Mom, the Yonko of the old, requiring them to give up a week of their life force every month. Yet, once a year, each island, and kingdom under her protection must give one full human being, between the ages of twelve to eighteen years old, to Legs to be devoured alive. By crafting letter, or a concept of a power, such as Strength, Legs can physically weave this into a living human being, granting them unprecedented power that they lacked, by manifesting it with her own life force. However, while they are gifted the powers she crafted for them, the more that they utilize it the closer their soul and mind become susceptible to Legs’ influence. At a certain point, Legs can physically rip their soul from their body, getting not only her own fragment of life she gifted them, but the entirety of their remaining soul, providing her with a stronger soul than she ultimately originally started out with. She claims to be a being loved by all souls, as they desire a piece of her own, and when they fall, they wish to be a part of her being, entitling her divine status to the very fact that the souls of the people of the earth support her endeavors.

A spell that Legs has become quite proficient in wielding is one she dubs the Unraveling. She constructs whatever she sees before her with her webs, and then, starts ripping it apart, simultaneously breathing life into it as she tears it limb from limb. In this case, similar to that of mystic magic, the creation before her begins to fall apart, until it is no more. With this, Legs can unravel her enemies’ attacks: their fire, their earth, their swords, etc. She can deconstruct landscapes themselves, allowing her to erase entire mountains, trees, ships, and whatever else stands before her. However, because she claims to be loved by all souls, Legs is incapable of unraveling people and destroying them. Yet, this does not mean she is incapable of unraveling any being, for she can, but she must put them back together. Thus, Legs can incapacitate her enemies by unraveling their arms, and placing them somewhere rather poorly placed, such as on their backs. Or, Legs can place their heads onto that of an animal’s body, and so forth. Just if she places their body part with that of any other living being, she can unravel them. However, unraveling entire people is a very soul-taxing ability, and thus Legs has dedicated herself only to using it when provoked, or find it necessary.

Awakening
Having devoted her entire life to maintaining and mastering her powers, there was no doubt that Legs awakened the extents of her powers. She is a fully awakened Zoan devil fruit user, and when transformed, she appears as the —a giant spider with the force of a tank.

Techniques

 * Pheromone and Hormone Manipulation: Although the entirety of its influence is unknown to scientist throughout the world, pheromones—an external chemical factor that triggers a social response in other organisms—are widely recognized as important to organisms, and species entirely. Because of the diversity of her devil fruit, Legs has access to a variety of pheromones that are able to trigger specific responses in living creatures. Though, among her pheromones, Legs is capable of creating and emitting primers which are able to alter hormones—an internal chemical messenger that transports a signal from one cell to another—levels in organisms. Similar to hormones, these pheromones are entirely scentless and indistinguishable from the naked eye making it particularly difficult to avoid without prior knowledge of the ability. Among her varying feats, Legs’ ability to alter the level of hormones in an organism to the point of overexpressing them to the stark contrast of ensuring they aren’t expressed at all has continued to prove pivotal to her success. With it, she is virtually capable of rewiring an organism at any moment, including overloading their systems with estrogen or testosterone to alter their sex, flood their system with melatonin to send them into deep sleeps, starting one’s metabolism by increasing the amount of Thyroxine, just to name a few.
 * Territorial Pheromone: In the animal kingdom, territory is a necessity. It is how species remain distinct from one another. In most cases, humans do not live in a rabbits den, and rabbits do not sleep in the house of man. Unfortunately, it is not often the case that such physical boundaries are laid out, and thus many animals make use of pheromones to mark their territory to prevent other species from entering willingly, or without at least understanding the risk of doing so. By activating a territorial pheromone, Legs is able to trigger the same social response in man and other animals. The pheromone is able to induce a chemical response to the thyroid which causes a spike in hormones relating to panic disorder, triggering Agoraphobia that thereby prevents them from entering the marked area.
 * Venoms: There are thousands of species of spiders, and among them there are a select few that are rarely ever not venomous. Blessed with their genetics, Legs' body is host to a variety of venomous sacs that are situated in different parts near a variety of organs: kidneys, lungs, liver, gallbladder, etc. Because the poisons involved are around these organs, Legs' body has naturally compensated and developed antibodies against them. Having the fortune of multiple venomous sacs within her body, Legs has developed a style of combat devised around manipulating the unique poisons and properties of all of them. By activating one located near her lungs, the venom enters her respiratory organ, through the use of diffusion, and when she exhales it is emitted in the form of a purple smog. Though she is capable of using a variety of venoms available to several species of spiders that can cause, paralysis, inflammation, blisters, etc., she is an avid fan of the poison used by the Wandering spiders. Because of how potent it is, and the effects that it has on her opponents, the only possible method of injection is directly from the venomous sacs at the roof of her mouth. Depending on the potency of the poison, it will have a different effect on the unfortunate recipient. When at its lowest possible concentration, the toxin only affects males of any species. A component of the venom known as Tx2-6 is one that causes Priapism, which can ultimately lead to death if it not dealt with in time. Aside from this using to this ensure her own satisfaction, Legs tends to rely on this toxin when attempting to assassinate someone discreetly. She'll creep into the bedroom in the brisk of the night, and sick her fangs onto their flesh, injecting them with the poison. By time morning comes, these men are dead in their homes. The second form of this toxin is when it's at its highest concentration, affecting both genders of any species. This form of the toxin contains a very powerful neurotoxin that affects calcium uptake, glutamate release, and glutamate uptake in neural synapses. A result of this since, since glutamate is an amino acid highly involved in neural activation, certain parts of the body experience a loss of function. For most, they lose control of their muscles, rendering them paralyzed. In addition, the muscles used for the respiratory system experience a dysfunction, leading to severe breathing issues which results in an inevitable suffocation. The final symptom is perhaps the most agonizing; it excites the nerves, resulting in intense pain, and severe inflammation.Legs_Poison.gif
 * Necrosis Inducement: The recluse spiders are a subsect of the species and are among the most dangerous arachnids in the world based solely on their venom. Their poisons contain enzymes capable of destroying cellular tissue upon contact, and have been shown to cause the death outwardly (regarding the skin) and inwardly (regarding the organs). For this, if one believes themselves to have been bitten, they are to report to a doctor immediately so that first aid can be registered; despite the methods that have been specifically devised to combat the recluse's poison, and although they are relatively peaceful animals who tend to administer small concentrations of their venom, hundreds are killed by them a year. Unlike the recluses, Legs does not require a bite to administer her poison, nor if she peaceful. By exuding it through her lungs, she crafts a potent, venomous mist around in the area that scalds anyone who comes in contact with them, causing necrosis upon contact.


 * Scuba Suit: The Diving Bell spider is the only arachnid known to live its entire life completely underwater, but what makes that impressive is that they don't have gills, nor any way of taking the oxygen from the water directly into their bodies. Most people assume that they frequently return to the surface to get more air, but a diving bell spider surfaces only once every twenty four hours. Using the tiny hairs on their body, air naturally gets stuck to them, and when they submerge again a huge bubble encompasses their body due to the presence of the air. They then take this bubble to a web spun between vegetation, in which they live. Because the bubble is supported by the web, most of the area of the bubble is just air-water interface between the fibers of the web, allowing for gas exchange. There is a net diffusion of oxygen into the bubble, and carbon dioxide out of the bubble. Legs has managed to engineer the same creation herself, albeit her bubble is often much larger. Her webs are spun in the form of a scuba-suit more than anything, allowing for her to stay submerged underwater while also being capable of maneuvering. As she descends into greater depths, water pressure increases, but due to the outer membrane being webs—a silk that is nearly fifty times stronger than steel—the bubble is able to maintain itself, and Legs is protected from even the most intense of pressures. Regardless, the concentration of the oxygen in the water is severely less than that in the atmosphere, in some regions of the water, and normally this is why the arachnids are forced to return to the surface once a day. Legs is different. Her ability does not entirely dependent on her ability to gather oxygen through an artificial gill, but rest in her ability to decrease her metabolic rate ultimately decreasing her need for oxygen to extremely low levels. Because of this, she is able to survive with minuscule amount of oxygen, allowing her to stay underwater indefinitely as long as she has access to her scuba suit.
 * Ballooning: As if spiders weren't unnerving enough, they're some that use the electric fields of the earth to leap for miles. Because thousands of tiny hairs exist on the spider's body, when the webs are released through the spinneret into the outside world, they brush against these small hairs creating a relatively negative chakra. The earth itself has a negative charge of about six nanoCoulombs per square meter on average. Because of this, the two negative charges reject the other, propelling these spiders into flight, allowing even the heaviest spider to take flight. Legs has managed to replicate this effect albeit on a larger scale. Proportionally, her spider silk is proportionally negatively charged to the earth as the gossamer spider, allowing her to lift up several hundred feet in the air with little issue. However, unlike these gossamer spiders, Legs does not slowly return to the earth's surface unless she wants to. While she uses the silk parachute to launch herself into the atmosphere, once she acquires her desired altitude, Legs creates wings made of silk that have a curved upper surface, but a flat lower surface to generate and sustain lift. When the air rushes over the upper surface, it has to travel further and faster than the air underneath, creating a pressure lower that is lower above the wings than there is underneath. Though, by this design, Legs would be incapable of flying upside down, which she has shown the ability to do. As a result, her wings are not completely parallel to the earth, but are slightly tilted backwards so that the air is pushed downwards, pushing them upwards. These two design principles work in conjunction to sustain her flight. However, when turbulence is introduced, it greatly reduces the speed of her flight.


 * Healing Techniques: Several times stronger than steel and kelvar, as flexible as a rubber band, as sticky as the craziest glue, and as regenerative as a zebra fish is the mystical, mysteriously crafted spider-silk. For years, people have attempted to replicate it, or to generate it in mass amounts, but to no avail. Spiders use it to craft traps, build nest for their young, to go scuba-diving in the depths of the ocean, etc. Because of her devil fruit, Legs is able to create the same silk that humanity has sought to produce for thousands of years. She is able to weave intricate patterns that radiate beauty as it glimmers in the sunlight, annoy those that run into the invisible webs, and capture her prey with their adhesion. Unbeknown to most, Legs' favored usage of her webs are to ball them up and plant them on a bleeding scrape and wound. Because the silk is composed mostly of proteins, and because it is especially rich in Vitamin K, it stimulates the body to heal itself. The body heals itself in various steps: the blood vessels constrict to reduce blood flow, blood cells clump together to make a plug along the injured vessel, then clotting proteins ensure the plug is held until the wound is effectively healed. Spider silk is sticky, composed of proteins, and rich in Vitamin K. Because of this, it's able to stop bleeding almost entirely on its on. The Vitamin K protein slows the blood flow, and helps clot the blood. The adhesive properties of the silk serves as a plug as well, and its antibacterial proteins quickly disperse of any bacteria that may have infected the wound. When the threat of blood loss and infection have been quelled, the body naturally focuses on healing and rebuilding. Cells gather at the site and begin dividing until it reforms the damaged area. Unfortunately, spider silk can not proliferate into these new skin cells, but what it is capable of doing is serving as a home for these cells. The biological molds used to grow tissue outside of the human body are chemically identical to the makeup of a spider web, allowing the spider-silk to serve as a material where cells can proliferate, and divide quickly, but safely. By weaving the silk in different patterns, thus changing its chemical makeup slightly, it can attract a different type of cells. With this, the silk is used to speed up the recovery rate of the human body drastically. Legs' has studied this, and mastered the craft to the point where can cause her body to regenerate cells on command.


 * Blood Acceleration: Spiders possess an exoskeleton that protects their body resulting in a simplified muscular system containing only one set of muscles. In our mind, this would make spiders incapable of proper motion, but rather than solely rely on muscles, they make use of a hydraulic pressure system. By increasing the pressure of blood in the cephalothorax—the round, bulb like midsection to which all the legs are connected—they are stretched and to bring them back in, they consciously decrease the pressure. What is most impressive is the fact that spiders are able to do this within a fraction of a second. Thanks to the Kumo Kumo no Mi, the protein used to composed her organs are the same used to make her silk, thus giving her structural points in her body a strength greater than steel, and a flexibility more impressive than rubber. Because of this, Legs is able to accelerate her blood flow akin to a spider to temporarily increase her power, and because of her natural durability, her body is capable of withstanding the force involved. When increasing her blood pressure, Legs' body receives more blood directly supplementing her cells with more oxygen and nutrients, increasing her speed, and power as a result. This technique, however, uses up these nutrients, making it particularly strenuous to maintain over long periods of time. Legs, because her tissues are five times as dense, has the ability to accelerate her blood flow six times its normal flow. Anything more will result in serious internal injuries, and if accelerated too much, will end in death. Whenever her blood pressure goes above five times its normal rate, her body temperature increases dramatically, evaporating her sweat into steam.

Haki
A shinobi works at understanding and developing an unprecedented knowledge of themselves. They hope to learn their strength, their weaknesses, their personal power, but more importantly their nindō; a nindō binds a shinobi to their convictions. It justifies murder, rape, sabotage, and if they ever betray their nindō than a shinobi is worth nothing. As much as a shinobi is a physical warrior, they are philosophers. They are moved by their love and reverence to battle. Having undergone spiritual refinement, for a shinobi to not notice their own Haki would only prove that they failed to truly master the principle of spiritual perfection. Yet, even then, the only way for them to prove their proficiency in the first principle of ninjutsu is to control these energies and utilize them in combat. Unlike the rest of the world, Haki is not a mysterious energy, nor unknown to the citizens of the Wano Country.

The people believe in the existence of inherent energies that make up human life. To them, the person is simply a reflection of the earth. There exist three hundred and sixty-five meridian points in the body that imitate the number of the days in the planet's rotation, and each point is responsible for a change in a new phase of energy. As each organ is associated with a range of meridians, they believe that imperfections come from a disturbance in the functions of these organs that disrupt the flow of the energy; the basis of their medicine revolves around purifying the energy of the body. Like Onymoji, shinobi work on manipulating these energies, but instead for purification and healing, they hope to improve their own abilities and channel Haki for use in combat. Having been educated in the arts of ninjutsu, and trained by an Onmyoji to perfect his powers of sorcery, Legs is extremely proficient in application of her Haki.

Even for a Yonkō, Legs has a noticeable impressive grasp and control over her own inner energies. For any person, spending decades on anything would lead to progression and development of that skill that very few could rival. Those who spend their entire childhood training to be martial artist rarely do very much else, and that is the case for most people regardless of whatever skill/profession they pursue: medicine, music, etc. For Haki, marines spend years attempting to simply become aware of their own energy, and then they spend the remainder of their time learning to harness it. Legs was fortunate to skip the first portion of her training, and even more fortunate to have been blessed with the ability to continue using and mastering its power for decades without her age hindering her. Because of her immense life force—since life is defined as the combination of the mind, body, and soul, thus each component of the person must be powerful for the overall life force to be powerful and immense—Legs possesses an incredible supply of Haki (Kenbunshoku Haki (Soul), Busoshoku Haki (Body), and Haoshoku Haki (Mind) ),so much that It would occasionally leak from her being.

Kenbunshoku Haki
In practice, Kenbunshoku Haki is relatively simple. It involves the spiritual energy that governs the consciousness, the mind, and the soul. When one's individual spiritual energy connects with the spiritual energy of the universe, it generates what the world knows as Kenbunshoku Haki. Yet, to do so requires tremendous spiritual refinement. It requires being in tune with one’s senses to levels that allow them to feel the flow of the universe, and they require the mental energy needed to understand that flow. They must have the willpower necessary to stand against the emotions and malice of the world, elsewise they'll be corrupted and destroyed. For a shinobi, sometimes the sense of sight, hearing, taste, isn't enough to keep them from life and death, and those who can use this power have an advantage over the rest of the warriors that some may not have. Despite having been exposed to Haki, in her youth, Legs found it extremely difficult to tap into Kenbunshoku Haki, having been far too unspiritual aligned and confident in her physical abilities. Eventually, such would come to be her undoing in a battle against Isamu, where the powers of his Devil Fruit tempted her mind and sent her on the brink of insanity. However, not through willpower, nor skill, but rather through necessity, she awakened Kenbunshoku. Because of her powerful soul—acquired by stealing the souls of other people—Legs has found that her Haki is unusually strong, and her practice over it is quite polished for a novice—a feat she can, yet again, credit to her consumption of souls and essence.

Like Enel, Legs can combine her Haki with her devil fruit to further her powers. By injecting her web-creations with her Kenbunshoku, she can extend the range of her sense from herself to her webs, allowing her to perceive the world through her constructs in addition to her own. In theory, this makes her an excellent spy. With a web in the garden, a spider on the sidewalk, just to name a few, Legs can pick up information about her opponent. In combat, by injecting her webs with her Haki, she can monitor her opponents always, ensuring that she has no blind spots when it comes to his enemies' attacks. Simultaneously, it throws off others who possess the same ability as Legs. Because they sense presence, and since she can spread her presence to other organisms, they are generally overwhelmed and fooled by their own senses as they sense her creations around them, disabling, or at least hindering, their ability to predict her attacks.

Haoshoku Haki
Symbolically, the universe seemingly bestows innate conqueror's with Haoshoku Haki. The ambitions of their ancestors transcend time itself. The third Haki is the rarest Haki, but in the New World it is almost as common as the amount of devil fruit users on the grand line. In the Wano Country, what separates the gods from the kings is this Haki. Having been born to rule over one of the most powerful shinobi clans in history, and revered as the God of Shinobi, there was no surprise that Legs was bestowed with this ability. Yet, ironically what awakened it was the extinction of the clan she was intended to rule, but what it did was save her own life and allow her to extract revenge on those who commissioned it. From that point, using it was as easy as it was for her to use the others. It was a form of energy that she had suddenly become aware of, and upon achieving that awareness she spent time trying to control it and master it. With it, she is allowed to use her own will to dominate, and subjugate the will of other living creatures, whether they are sea kings, wild beast, or people.

Those who strengthen this Haki through experience, and by directly strengthening their individual will, acquire advanced techniques revolving around subjugating more individuals at a certain time, and even those with relatively strong wills. For a shinobi, their will is as absolute as a steel blade; they have a nindō, and through that nindō they draw their sword, take their breath, murder child, and interrogate their victims. It is the only thing that binds them to their morality, and that is strong enough to convince him that there evils are for a cause. For, Legs, her nindō is to uncover the secrets of the world, and she is resolute in his goal; her will is as unbendable as a tempered glass, and as unwavering as a titanium flag. Through her strong will, and years of devotion to perfecting her Haki, she has a level of control over the first stage that is legitimized by her progression to the second stage. With it, she can move her Haki and target specific individuals in a crowd, and when unleashing it, her will causes the nightmares of her victims to materialize in their mindscape. It contorts their dreams, and desires into hellish realities. Either from trauma, or fear, those influenced by her Haki find themselves sleep within seconds of exposure. Though, despite only being under for a mere moment, the influence of Legs' haki remains forever. When they sleep, they see her dominating their spirits in their dreams; they realize how truly helpless they were, yet they truly learn the powers of a God.

Trivia

 * In height and weight, Legs' size is comparable to that of a Wild Asian Buffalo, a contender for one of the biggest land species in the world.
 * In this specific article, Legs' has two image sources. Rurumu from Magi is used for her general appearance. However, because of a specific instance, as in Rurumu not having monochromatic eyes, as spiders do, I found it necessary to pull in a quick picture of Hinata Hyuga from Naruto to sort of give the reader a glimpse of her eyes, and then, while I was at it, I threw in the fact that she dyed her hair and cut it during her time as a ninja to prevent it from being used against her. So, it turned out well actually.
