Hurra Al Sayyid



"Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. A majority of my superiors deserve to hang by the gallows if they followed their idea of Absolute Justice. That's the beauty of this world, plagued of humanity. It's observable in nature. Justice is personal. Justice is hypocritical. Justice has meaning and a purpose. For justice for one person is not justice for all."

- Sayyid Al Hurra

Hurra al Sayyid, also known as Hard-Headed Sayyid, is a Marine Commodore born in the Barbary Islands, a cluster of Summer Islands in the known for their extensive and rare spices. Although the son of a wealthy trader and pirate,, Hurra al Sayyid experienced great troubles and obstacles brought upon by fate. However, as hif father would often mention, Sayyid possessed the spirit of the scorpion. And such allowed the child to suffer in hopes that a powerful force would arise and shake the world. Creating a never-ending legacy across the New World. During his childhood, Sayyid accidentally consumed a mysterious fruit which bestowed upon him unique powers. Unfortunately, the young warrior was unable to enjoy the extent of his culture as the countries civil war erupted. Coupled with the sudden sickness of his mother, Sayyid was separated from his siblings and forced to relocate with his maternal aunt who established herself in the much safer world of Paradise. And such, he experienced his teenage years in the marine base of Loguetown.

Experiencing life where the Golden Age of Piracy began with the ending of the King's life, Sayyid gained a fascination with adventure and travel. He began to revel in the idea of proving himself to the world. Unfortunately, he lacked the heart to commit the countless atrocities that pirates undertook in cold blood. And although he despised the World Government, he understood the importance of law and order. Instead, he pledges to one day gain enough military power to challenge the World Nobles and establish his own ideal of justice. Constant bullying and berating igniting the dormant ambition which lead him to joining the marines. With his already unique powers, granted by the Fuku Fuku no Mi, Sayyid was able to advance through the ranks rather quickly.

As a Marine Commodore, Sayyid Al Hurra has began his personal conquest by gathering his own ship of marine officers. Although a student to the principle of Absolute Justice, he instills the belief that everyone should follow their hearts. For emotions are what guide this world. And such, he has earned the distrust of many fellow marines due to his pirate-like ideals. One major rival being fellow Marine Commodore Lambert Cecilia. This rebellious ideal has earned him the title Hardheaded Sayyid. Still, his warm nature and loyalty to the innocent has made him a most trusted upcoming star among his superiors.

Personality
Sayyid lived his childhood and teenager dreaming of adventure. Of becoming something that everyone would acknowledge. While some would consider his dreams of gradnoise the product of negligence, those familiar with greatness have noted that it stems from an extreme ambition. A burning passion which shines brighter than the sun and burns hot enough to evaporate the ocean. Essentially, Sayyid’s greatest fear is the possibility that he will simply vanish into the endless pages of history. Forgotten by all. It is for this reason he lives such a rebellious life and exhibits undying stubbornness. From his family to his schooling to even his time within the military, Sayyid showed the desire show the world the legitimacy of his existence. It is for this reason that his time in the military produced such a rowdy soldier. One which others have criticized for his inability to completely follow directions. But it is this uniqueness which has gotten him accepted among his peers. For he will follow directions but show initiative and absolute control of the situation.

Although he speaks and walks with a certain arrogance, the young Marine carries his fair share of demons that often chase him into troublesome situations. He is a person who is destined to find himself in the middle of battle, surrounded by problems. He hates to ask for assistance and refuses to become a burden upon those around him. Some state that his power is the crystallization of his arrogance, the power to place the accumulate problems upon his own shoulders. But it is a power which strengthened the spirit of Sayyid. For he has suffered greatly and acquired both knowledge from his endless perseverance. He accepts the cards dealt at birth and attempts to turn them into a winning hand..

Perhaps his greatest belief is that the marines have been corrupted by the World Government. One who believes slavery to be man’s greatest tragedy, he despises how welcoming the Marine’s are to the World Government’s corruption. It is an ideal that states the Marine’s decision to allow the World Government to continue to murder and commit atrocities is the reason Piracy exist. And such his desire to overthrow the World Government stems from a different sense of justice. That no soul is abstain from the ideas of right and wrong. And such, his end goal is to ultimately establish the Marines as the guiding force of this world. An organization comprised of the people meant to serve the people. The pirates and World Nobles are two sides of the same coin. Both greedy individuals using others to further their own goals. Still, it would be impossible to stand against the World Government due to their massive influence and control over both knowledge and history. In order to truly wrastle control from their horrific grasp, he believes that the Marines must band together.

Overview
Sayyid is a warrior whose spirit and ambition is said to be among the strongest in the Marines. Especially among his rank, he is considered one of the more formidable Marines of his age. So much so that *** stated that he would be surely be a Supernova if not for his loyalty to Justice. His subordinates note his rebellious attitude as a source of his unruly aura, a stubbornness which would forbid him from backing down from a challenge. Hurra al Sayyid is unique in the approach that his usage of the Fuku Fuku no Mi lacks any blatant offensive usages. Whereas Devil Fruit users flail their powers about as if swords given to children, Sayyid utilizes his Devil Fruit to amplify his own prowess and abilities. This has caused his opponents to question if he actually has a Devil Fruit, for its subtle activation and internalized application often go unseen by the untrained eye.

Physical Abilities
Sayyid is a fighter of exceptional physical prowess granted by both his Devil Fruit and constant training. A Student of White Winged Bull, one of Paradise’s famous boxers and a former champion of the Dressrosa Colosseum, Sayyid was taught a unique and unorthodox method of fighting which amalgamated with his natural and supernatural prowess. Hardheaded Sayyid is a boxer through and through with an innate comprehension of footwork and body movement. And such, he prioritizes speed and agility over his other aspects. This has lead to him focusing on developing his core and legs, the primary parts of the human responsible for his style of combat. The result is a fighter capable of weaving through gunfire and closing considerable distances in impressive strides without the aide of neither his Devil Fruit nor Rokushiki training. He is able to maneuver in a way which allows him to set up skillful combinations and take advantage of structural weaknesses. His movements are extremely fluid and gentle, wasting not a step as he transitions in-between angles. Another component of his training is the development of balance and dexterity. Sayyid exhibits extensive knowledge of weight distribution and weight transference, allowing him to move without detracting power or speed.

Despite his focus, Sayyid shows frightening strength without the usage of his Devil Fruit. He can accomplish impressive feats which include punching through cement and breaking his opponent’s bones with his strikes. Still, he is nowhere near as strong as the other giants in the Marines who focus upon their physical power. Sayyid’s strength is the result of training his speed, and thus can be considered residual progress. Still, he is not one to take lightly for he makes up for his lack in obscene strength through the generation of force from torque. His above average strength contributes to an impressive durability and endurance. Sayyid is able to susta

Perhaps the greatest attribute to his physical abilities is his indomitable will. Considered the reasoning behind his title as Hard-Headed Sayyid, his ambition is willpower is considered seconded by few. He is known for continuing battle with damage and intense pain off the simple notion of refusing to submit. His desire for success and unwillingness to back down has began to spread across the seas as both his superiors and enemies take notice.

Fighting Style
White Winged Bull bestowed upon Sayyid roots of his boxing which dug deep into his nervous system. Simply, his fighting style was ingrained deeply into his soul. It is a punch-focused combat form that enhances the power of punches through torque generated by speed. Essentially it is a style rarely relying on actual physical strength. The power of his strikes are influenced by the relationship between the momentum of his body and the gravity pressing upon it. Each strike draws its power from the concept of the ground, a force upon which is body is able to resist. It transforms into a swift and powerful rotation of his feet that generates a power flowing throughout his body before being released through a snapping motion of his fist. Sayyid compares his combat foundation to a lion tamer utilizing a whip. Where as the energy forms at the base of the whip and travels to the tip, surpassing the speed of sound and releasing devastating force relative to its size. Regardless of the grounded philosophy, Sayyid’s hand-to-hand concepts apply to aerial combat as well. The idea of a grounded form relies on resistance as opposed to the actual ground itself. The focus on speed allows for a reliance on various maneuvers which range from feints to soft strikes meant to draw specific responses from his opponents. As opposed to individual strikes, Sayyid’s fighting style centers around the entire combination. Each combination has a specific purpose, with the individual strikes serving as the pillars of the entire structure. Thus, breaking down his offensive approach requires one to actually deduce each punch in total - an extremely difficult task considering the speed upon which he maneuvers. The combination of angular combat increases the efficiency of his strikes. Each hit possesses a particular purpose, but when used in different combinations, can deliver devastating damage.

Defensively, Sayyid focuses on the power and maneuverability of his legs as opposed to his upper body. The young fighter stated that swordsman who utilized their swords for defense were unable to strike. They were forced to counter in a 1-2 motion. And thus, the spacing between the first and second option would allow one quick enough to either evade or counter said counter. Alternatively, warriors who utilized agility for defense could remove the vacuum between the first and second motion. Granting them the ability to both defend and attack at the same time. That being the premise of western style fighting. Sayyid uses his legs to shift his body across a lateral line before sinking slightly at the knees. This method works against physical attacks and weapons, avoiding both wide arcing slashes and deadly thrust. The amount of time required for the recovery is often more than double the time required for Sayyid to retort with his own strike. Head slipping is a smaller motion than his Bob and Weave. He still focuses on his lower body movement, but carries his upper body so that his head is brought from danger while moving into optimal striking position. Against sword wielding adversaries, Sayyid generally rolls from to the left and right in search of openings

Battlefield Control
Despite his more playful mentality and welcoming aura, Sayyid is extremely tactful in battle. He states that his ability to control the state of the battle comes from his natural tendency to overthink. When coupled with his ability to double his mental processing abilities, he is able to notice things and flaws of those around him at an accelerated rate. After which, he applies newly found information to his advantage. Although he despises manipulating emotions, he enjoys playing to the logic of others for his own personal benefit. Sayyid states that if a person ‘’knows’’ that the sky is blue, they will always think the sky is blue even if the person traps them in an illusion. For as long as the sky is blue, they will not question the validity. As someone whose devil fruit is made towards amplification as opposed to offensive prowess, he has to constantly concoct plans in hopes of tricking his opponents.

Devil Fruit
Sayyid ate a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit called the Fuku-Fuku no Mi at a very young age. It is for this reason he was able to learn various skills and trades at an exceptional rate. However, it was only recently where he applied the fruit’s powers to combat situations. Sayyid is able to produce a doubling effect which governs himself and others as well as tangible and intangible objects associated with his targets. This is achieved by creating a 2x Counter associated with the specified object. The control it holds over both organic and inorganic targets makes it a frightening ability even though his Devil Fruit lacks any blatant offensive or defensive properties. Instead it serves as an extremely powerful supportive type devil fruit which creates a metaphorical counter upon his selected target. Sayyid states that it is a continuous effect Devil Fruit, or a power which resets whenever his sequence halts and thus requires him to complete his task with the utmost determination.

Considered the sister variant of the Tsumu Tsumu no Mi, the Fuku Fuku no Mi has various purposes. However it is severely limited by the requirement of initial contact with Sayyid. When coupled with the fact that it is a power that relies entirely on the person, it is easy to overlook Sayyid as a skilled fighter. Still, he is able to utilize this advantage as an element of surprise. Sayyid prefers to utilize the Doubling Counter upon himself to increase the damage he inflicts. The Marine Commodore states that it is without a time, rising as long as he wills it. And as long as the initial point of contact is created, the counter continues to grow until interrupted.

There are two methods to increasing the counter. His more favored version is through prolonged contact. This is seen in his grasping power where he is able to squeeze a steel rod and break a criminals wrist. This method also works for increasing factors which affect an item or object such as weight and buoyancy. The secondary method of increasement is through his combat. As opponents rarely allow him to gain a continuous grasp, he tends to fight with light strikes which allow for a higher success rate of landing. Only when his counter is high enough does he start fighting with heavier strikes.

Sayyid’s primary usage is the increasing of his own physical attributes. Even without his Rokushiki skills, he is able to achieve superhuman feats capable of matching Rokushiki practitioners. He can continuously increase his output and double the external damage to deliver fatal strikes. His usage of ‘’’Multi-Step’’’ style allows him to create additional burst of speed by releasing double stepping power which only accumulates as he continues onwards. Alternatively, Sayid is able to amplify his sensory abilities to accommodate situations. Unfortunately, as he is only amplifying the efficiency, they are not adopting. For example, he can increase his eyesight by 8x but is unable to adjust to light accordingly. Making him a viable target for skilful enemies.

Sayyid’s powers also effects intangible effects as well. He is able to double the amount of damage done per strike. And since there is not a single definition towards what constitutes as a strike, he can double the damage of a tap so that it eventually equals the force of cannonball. Sayyid uses this method by focusing on speed to gently tap his opponent to build up the counter. Eight slight taps would start to feel like a slap. However, following with a punch thrown at fullpower would apply a 16x damage to the force of the punch. It is the skilful mixture of slight damage to build up the counter to a desired amount followed by a heavy strike which receives the additional power that makes Sayyid a dangerous opponent. Due to the counter increasing by a fixed amount, the buff does not change depending on the type of damage inflicted.

Another support function is using it upon surrounding concepts. A popular usage is Sayyid’s control over an object or being’s weight. As the weight is a concept which can be considered connected to a person, he is able to double it increasingly with each contact. This is a favored method of restraint as he can double the amount of gravity placed upon an individual. Essentially increasing its weight without manipulating its mass. He has accomplished numerous other feats, for his his Devil Fruit is only limited by his imagination. . Sayyid states that there is no limit to how high the counter reaches, stating that prolonged battles against him were futile. It is his purpose to find a way to quickly build up the counter so that it deals considerable damage before suffering defeat. He is known for utilizing deceit to build the counter, establishing contact with his opponent before actual combat.

Haoshoku Haki
A strange and unique power among the world of sailors and fighters, it is a blessing even rarer among the marines who serve the World Government. A sign of a potential king, for a marine to wield this special Haki would be open defiance against the World Government itself. However, a king is not one who simply rules and parades their existence upon the world. A king is someone who leads and desires greatness for themselves and others. It is an undeniable existence which cannot be rejected by anyone without heaven’s authority. A quality which is shared by the man known as Hard Headed Sayyid. His undeniable will and intimidating aura not only inspires those around him, but convinces doubters that he will find a way to succeed. Even should he fail thousands upon thousands of time, Sayyid will rise again and come back stronger.

Sayyid currently lacks conscious knowledge of this power. In its purest form, it comes off as an arrogant aura. An energy that a king would exude as he continues towards his goal. It is not the power of one who denies his insecurities or flaws but one who knows that humans are flawed creatures. He embraces his flaws and strides to acquire enough power to achieve his dream. And such he is known for unknowingly causing hesitation in his opponents. Under greater stress, he has knocked the entirety of his training camp unconscious.

Rokushiki
Sayyid has practiced Rokushiki techniques for several years, mastering two major abilities in considerable time. As he believes that powers and skills should amplify his own skill set, he focuses on supportive based Rokushiki skills as opposed to offensive and defensive powers.
 * Soru: His primary efficiency is in Soru, where he is able to tap the floor with his foot ten times before fading away. When combined with his Double Counter, he is able to effectively increase the speed that he maneuvers allowing him to slip past the speediest of devil fruit users. Besides his mastery of Soru, Sayyid is an avid practitioner
 * Geppo: His secondary mastery is in the art of Geppo, which he utilizes to stay afloat by literally running on air. It is a powerful technique that has allowed him to avoid falling into the seas as he leaps between ships. A method he used to launch a two prong attack, for he strikes the captain while his ship bombards the pirate ship.
 * Kamisori: Sayyid has combined the two techniques to replicate the famous technique utilized by Rob Lucci to obtain three dimensional movement. He states that Kamisori is his favored method of combat, where it allows him to maneuver throughout the air without limitation.
