Dragon D. Dexter

"Man-Slayer" Doragon Dī Dekusutā (ドラゴン・D・デクスター), more commonly reffered to as the Thug (ちんぴら, Shinkansen) by the Marines, is a rookie and affiliate of the Titan Pirates, headed by Raptor D. Baron. He is also a famous known across the blue seas as the great Popstar (アイドル, Aidoru).

Formerly a resident of Wano Kuni, Dexter learned all of his swordplay from the Ryutsume Dojo under Yoshitsune, a well renown swordsman. His recent actions have awarded him a bounty of 250,000,000, making him one of the Six Paths of Disaster.

Appearance
Averagely handsome, Dexter seemingly sways women from not just his fame but his overall appearance as well. He's dark-skinned and an average height, standing exactly five foot nine inches. Dexter looks a bit younger than his age has documented due to his physical features.

Dexter wears a very unique hairstyle and something that has become a staple in identifying who he is. His hair is cut into a messy spiked mohawk, with his sides low into a buzzcut and a shape up around his forehead which wraps around to the back of his neck. He has beautiful gold eyes, which could be compared to the sun.

Personality
Dexter is a very cool, calm, and collected individual. He seems to like staring into the sunny skies and watch the clouds when not dealing with crazed fans. As an artist, he loves writing music in his free time and can be sometimes caught singing his own songs.

When he's alone he likes to not be bothered...

In addition to calm self, he has an obvious obsession with the, going as far as too rename the techniques of the fruit so that it fit his style better (him renaming ROOM to ZONE). While he was resting in the grass plain he'd been da dreaming about the perks of the Ope Ope no Mi and even declared that the fruit would be his. Even in his battle against Pabasa Alden, he insisted that if Alden couldn't fend against his basic sword techniques, then he wouldn't stand a change against the Ope Ope no Mi's prowess.

He's also very loyal, as he pledged his loyalty to Raptor D. Baron early on in their meeting, even willing to fly under the man's flag. This is due to Baron promising he'd help Dexter find the Ope Ope no Mi so long as he swung his sword under the Yonko's name.

Unique to himself and one of his greatest traits loved by his fans, is his random dialogue rhyming. Dexter could be in the middle of a conversation and out of nowhere he would make one of his sentences rhyme. He sometimes uses this as a way to dock down "bars" for his future songs, stating he'll have to "remember that for later". The teen genuinely loves music, going out of his way to create his own record label to help other up and coming artist.

Just Rumors
After being protected under Baron and the Titan Pirates, Dexter make his announcement of becoming a Pirate public. His way of doing so was rather different, as he decided to hold a concert at Cartecielo's brothel, Hornet. Before he could finish his performance however, the ceiling came crashing down causing a few of the people to evacuate.

Following the destruction of the ceiling, one of the workers in the brothel, Thotiana, rushed over to aid Dexter. Forgetting her true reason for running to his side, she instead instantly turns into a fangirl and asks Dexter for his autograph. Rather different than usual, Dexter has no problem with Thotiana's smothering mostly due to her large breast. Proceeding to give the woman his autograph, Dexter signs her breast with a fire-tipped pen, which basically allowed him to tattoo his name onto her.

It wouldn't take long for the cause of the ceiling's caving to reveal itself in the form of Blumenthal Gerhard, who Dexter quickly notices a member of the Xros Pirates. Dexter informs Gerhard that he interrupted his performance and it would cost him, prompting the opposing pirate to pay the musician 100,000. All while the two pirates exchanged words, a worker of the Hornet altered the Marines of pirates behaviors, sending a platoon of navy soldiers to the brothel. Prompting his two members to leave, Dexter stands tall and is prepared to face the Marines. Before he could make his first move, however, Gerhard ends up starting the battle off.

Dexter cut down many of the Marine soldiers during Gerhard's rampage clearing out a large chunk of the platoon leaving only Jumar standing. In an attempt to strike the captain down in one blow, Dexter failed, forcing him to get into a short scuffle with the man. Gerhard intervenes once more, insisting Dexter let his techniques finish the job. Dexter instead curses Gerhard's techniques and tells him he won't back down since he already drew his sword.

Using Engetsu, Dexter strikes down Jumar opting Gerhard to leave the brothel during the commotion. Celebrating his victory, Dexter begins to rap only to find out Vice-Admiral Grave Eldric had been watching the whole time. Eldric states that he knows of Dexter, with the young pirate responding that he knows of the old man as well. Knowing Eldric is well out of his league, Dexter takes this chance to flee from the brothel and leave the island.

Clash of Blades
After being instructed to head for Alabasta by Baron, Dexter is tasked with uncovering the relics from the lost city before the Marines do. Returning back to the party being thrown by Osiris' family, he retrieved his sword from Zoe and told her to remain with Osiris, he'd be back soon.

Traveling to the location given to him by Baron, Dexter discovers the city and proceeds to enter it. Her surveyed the ancient architecture of the city, taking mental notes of everything so that he could report back to Baron. As his investigation continued, he'd sensed the presence of another individual which caused him to act accordingly. Also sensing Dexter, the man called out insisting that Dexter leave the city and go on about his day. Refusing, Dexter attacked the man with shuriken and kunai aiming to take him out quickly.

Swordsmanship
After docking their ship on Cape Island, Dexter gets into a short argument with Osiris. Halfway through the argument, Dexter unsheathed his blade giving thought that he is a swordsman of some caliber. He showed the use of the swordsmanship for the first time during his encounter with Alden. He seems to focus primarily on melee-based attacks, as each attack he'd done on Alden was close range. Dexter is very skilled in the art of swordplay being taught by a master swordsman, Yoshitsune, back when he was on Wano prior to allying with Baron. A testament to this was when he was able to catch Hastings off guard and wound him from the stomach all the way up to his chin in the blink of an eye.


 * Amaterasu Style:
 * Amaterasu Style — Hiraishin (天照型 — 飛雷神): Is a relatively difficult technique to master that is apart of the Amaterasu Kata. Dexter uses this technique to cut Hastings stomach up to his neck in a single attack. He initiates this technique by falling face first to the ground and about an inch before his chin makes contact with it, he uses his master control over his body to lung himself forward at his opponent. The lunge gives Dexter a tremendous speed boost, quick enough to get into Hastings blindside and cut him before he realized it. By falling down and sprint forward, Dexter uses the force of his gravity to increase his speed and close the gap with ease. The technique is literally called "Flying Thunder God"...


 * Ryūkiba Style:
 * Ryūkiba Style — Ryūtsume (竜牙型 — 竜爪):


 * Secret Styles:
 * Nagare Kawa — Kobunori (流れ川 — 瘤乗り): was a technique first revealed in Dexter's battle against Bimore O. Jack. He mentioned that if Jack wasn't going to take him down, the Kawa would surely be the technique to cut him down instead. Kobunori is performed by launching himself forward. In the middle of the lung, Dexter plants his inside foot to hard pivot to the outside of his opponent, vanishing from their site to their blind side. Kicking the ground again the close the gap between the opponent, Dexter unleashes a diagonal slash with Tenrairyu to strike his opponent.

Devil Fruit
Dexter ate the Zon Zon no Mi, a Paramecia-type. Its exact abilities are unknown, but after being uncovered by Gerhard, Dexter states that he managed to move the building from one place to another with his power.

Meito
Dexter uses a single sword, the Tenrairyu, a fine crafted cursed Meito which he got through unknown means. This is Dexter's signature blade and has a lot of care for it, as he felt a bit offended that Alden had called the blade a "toy".

Creation and Concept
Dexter is the author's 2016 self, solidified into a fanfiction character. Prior to his leave of the wikia, Sigma went on a nonstop rant trying to get the administration to somehow get the unbanned (Can be read here; Thread:7584). After returning to the wikia he began to draft up character concepts and one of the many concepts was Dragon D. Dexter originally under the name Drave D. Davis.
