"Peace achieved through being stained in the blood of violence."

- Zeta

Kaisei Ōga (煌臥灰清, Ōga Kaisei), going under the alias as Kai (怪, lit. "Mystery") when donning his unique transformation through the technique, is a well-known underworld samurai and mercenary hailing from the  — originally born in, and feared as a powerful warrior capable of accomplishing great feats despite his youthfulness. Over the course of his brief lifetime, his accomplishments garnered him many "titles" and monikers — most of which denotes his combat prowess and somewhat-extremist beliefs. Possessing and eventually mastering the dreaded Shini Shini no Mi, one of the most powerful -type s, he challenges others to prove and hone the heights of his ever-growing power, despite isolating himself most of the time. Kaisei is the de-facto leader of the K-13, a secret group he built to suit his purposes.

His archnemesis, is the leader of the Silver-Haired Pirates — Ares D. Soma, who has "stolen" one of the most dangerous s in Kaisei's possession.

Appearance
Kaisei's general appearance is described as one that's closer to a civilian above any other, beguiling his status as both a mercenary and a warrior; this misconception is further enhanced by his physical age, which teeters between late adolescence and early adulthood. Due to this, people tend not to take him as seriously as he wants, which forces his hand at instances — causing him to show his true power, thus making others bend to his whims. Regardless, he notes that such misconceptions have its advantages, as it hides his true identity; this makes it harder for his enemies to find him, believing that he's an adult instead of a bratty teenager — most of whom have never gotten a good look at him overall. Even those he's allied within both the past and the present wouldn't believe that the merciless mercenary who's able to kill those more powerful than him while drawing on great amounts of power to do so and the moody self-hating silver-haired teen are one in the same.

He's overt to have unusual traits, most notably his wavy silvery-white hair; it's believed that he's albino, but it stems from his lineage, belonging to an ancient warrior clan of the Wano Country - well known for having silver-hair and eyes. He's noted to have exhibited other traits, but only when he's using his devil fruit powers or the abilities of his signature weapons — one of which includes the color shift of his irises, going from the usual blue to a silvery-gray with slit irises containing an intense demonic look. For him, this trait is fitting as it enhances the fear he instills into his targets — making it all the more believable that he's some sort of harbinger of death.

It's recognized that the tragic events of his past have left a deep scar on him — metaphorically-speaking, which serves as an aid for his personal desire to become stronger. For many years, he's trained both his body and his mind — making sure each balances out the other. Not only did he gain mastery over his devil fruit powers and an enhanced intellect, but his body has gained a certain amount of muscle tone that's more than suitable for combat, despite his young age; this is seen by his well-toned midsection, his buffed up and muscular arms, legs, and neck, and his improved back area. Nevertheless, such a tone tends to be hidden by his various articles of clothing, thus making him seem frail and scrawny to others and makes him an "easier target" for bullying and intimidation by those much larger than him. This presents itself as one of his advantages in most cases, as it allows him to put down such people with ease during fights — baffling not only his targets but the onlookers as well — most wondering how he can pull off such amazing feats with his "small frame". He's also noted to have a few scars covering his body, which notes the hard work he's put in improving himself overall; the noticeable scar is the one on his right eye — though it's minuscule and insignificant to the normal perception.

Despite possessing a scowl he wears on his face constantly — which puts distance between him and others, most likely due to him being affected by his past, he's noted to be quite handsome, having soft rugged features worthy of a man; it's been noted by Kaisei that he may have inherited such traits from both of his deceased parents — who were known to be outstandingly attractive in their own right. At times, he's usually seen with a blank or confused expression — stating his feelings towards certain events. He has the common height of someone his age and possesses a sturdy frame from all the training he's done — letting him stand the brunt of most offensive measures and keep on going, in comparison with the weak and waifish frame he had before the tragic incident when he was living blissfully in ignorance. Only in rare instances, does he smile; when that happens, it's noted to be very charming — enticing the individuals around him, making them have some sort of attraction to him. Somewhat of a comical note, he's noted to be a "well-endowed" individual by most older people and those of his age; combined with his attractiveness, this earns Kaisei the comedic ire of his peers — something that he tends to be ignorant to.

In lieu of his physical traits, his apparel.... doesn't really fit the bill; it's lackluster and doesn't make him stand out too much. For him, this is a good thing, yet a bad thing. The good aspect of it is that it helps him blend in with the crowd; the bad aspect is that it doesn't make him look "warrior material", but rather as some moody teen. While he may find this to be annoying at times, it tends to be for the best — allowing him to accomplish his given tasks without arousing suspicion from his enemies and allies alike. Though he has a variety of casual outfits he wears on occasions, he holds preference to two in particular — one for his missions and the other for when he's in public or going through his usual therapy sessions; despite this, both of them having very similar traits that they share, especially in terms of accessories (if any are usually found) and in color.

For the one that he wears in public, it consists of a light grey buttoned-up dress with a normal grey t-shirt underneath, a pair of light black denim jeans with three horizontal tears on the right kneecap, and a pair of sneakers; he's usually seen with his silver-colored pants chain on the left side of his jeans and wears three beaded-string bracelets on his right hand. He has a special necklace he wears that's made from an inexpensive material, noted to be his most prized possession as it's the last thing that reminds him of his mother, imbued with much of her power. Like his swords, he's never seen without it; speaking of which, he keeps all three of his sword in a round cylinder case strapped to his back. Whenever people see the case, they think that he's an artist — a typical forethought considering that's what the case is usually used for — storing large poster drawings or things of a similar manner, unbeknownst to what's really hidden in there.

When he's on his mission, there's a slight shift in his clothing, but nothing major — retaining the traits of normal civilian apparel. He wears a thick, yet insulated blood-red zip-up hoodie — something that's made from an extremely durable material, thus able to take the brunt of most attacks suffering little damage — providing some sort of adequate protection, a darker shade of his usual denim, and a pair of gray-colored high-top combat boots that's good for all-terrain — making it much easier to move in, thus suitable for combat. Instead of his usual pants chain, it's swapped out for his signature chain-shuriken; on the other hand, he's now seen with his signature katanas strapped and hanging on the opposite end of his pants by a small pair of chains — donned in an iaidō-style, which is part of his signature fighting style. In any given moment, he can unhook his blades from his side, letting him hold it and its sheath freely. The most noticeable aspect of this outfit is the oni mask that obscures the lower-half of his face; this is key to not only hiding his true identity but emphasizing his epithet that people refer to him by. It's black in color and known to be frowning, which helps compliment the scowl that Kaisei always has on; like with most of his possessions, it's known to be very durable — capable of surviving insurmountable blows while suffering little damage. It has a special mechanism that muffles his voice, giving it a certain level of baritone and making it deeper than normal; this serves to further conceal his real identity while instilling fear into his enemies.

In short, while Kaisei doesn't come off as the most approachable individual, he's not to be underestimated; looks can be deceiving, after all, something he proves on multiple occasions. Despite his hardened exterior, it truly masks the remnants of any feelings and doubts that he's still plagued by and sometimes succumbs to; this makes it harder for a person to perceive his true self.

As Kai
Under the guise of "Kai", Kaisei decides it would be best to create a new appearance to match some of his false personalities; he realized that this method is much more effective than imparting multiple personas on one being. Under the influence of the Life Return technique, Kaisei becomes a new person despite having few traits of his "old self". As "Kai", he still retains his slim and muscular physique while maintaining his average height; however his hair began to develop black streaks growing out from the crown and lacks the distinctive scar over his right eye. He wears the standard business attire of a private investigator, favoring black dress shirts and pinstripe pants with a knee-length white trench coat. "Kai" is known for his famed generous and endearing smile complimented by his kind and respectful bodily gestures, an extreme opposite of Kaisei's unreadable and somewhat unintentionally rude persona.

Personality
Embodying the concept of a solitary soul with a fervent sense of purpose and conviction, the actions and events Kaisei took throughout his life shaped him into the person he is in the present — one willing to progress through the chaotic reality commonly known as "life". Once was a pure, innocent and weak soul is now an entity who's spirit has hardened with the passage of time, rivaling that of his immense combat capabilities, thus is someone that no person should take lightly regardless of any differences between the two; a simple underestimation of his personality and skillset by appearance alone will leave one baffled and frightened to an extent when he reveals everything about his personage for the world to see. Thus, one can say he's an embodiment of the phrase: "Don't judge a book by its cover" if anything.

Though he lived in one of the most turbulent parts of the Wano Country, born to middle-class parents, Kaisei's demeanor was that of any child — innocent, meek, and sometimes playful. When reflecting back to the earlier parts of his life, he stated that so long as he had his parents, he never wanted much and was happy with what he had. Typically, he was extremely gentle and appeared to be optimistic most of the time. Around the time of his parent's deaths at the hands of pirate invaders, he started to become fearful of the world and had his guard up, relying only on his instinct; that day served a rude awakening to what reality is like and the times he's currently living in. Like any orphan, he used all means to thrive, even if it was amoral; however, with the introduction of his master into his life, he slowly starts to revert to his previous self — seeing the kindness and sternness the old man offered him. He notes that he's the type to live up to another person's expectations, something that lingers even to this day; this in-turn made him into a hard worker with an eagerness to learn and improve himself so that he doesn't become a burden to others. Laziness was a sin in his eyes and an affront to the kindness offered by others.

Overtime, after traveling to various parts of the country with his master, leading up to his death by natural causes, Kaisei became even more aware of what's happening not only in his country but the world at large; seeing the desperation of the people and those who overpowered them — either by coercion or martial force, gave him a resolve to achieve peace by any cost. It's such a resolution that led him to isolate himself for long periods of time, giving him the opportunity to train and grow as both a combatant and an individual. Currently, those who've encountered Kaisei proclaims that he has a calm, focused, and mild-mannered demeanor about him to the point that it can be hard at times to properly communicate with him at times — the slightest misstep of one's speech can be mistakenly seen as a form of provocation; however, he's not one who cares for the opinions of others, as they don't shape what he truly sees himself. Kaisei is rather a mature being, for the most part, rarely partaking in indecent activity unless necessary.

He's normally characterized by his "dead fish eyes" expression — most likely inherited from the paternal side of his family, which adds on to his indifference and becomes one of his key traits; comically enough, it's one of the first things that people tend to point out upon meeting him, to which he gives a variety of responses for his current condition. He's also seen to either have a blank expression, making it nearly impossible to read him, or frowning which stems from his beliefs that he doesn't deserve to be happy due to his former weakness, his inability to save others when needed, and focusing on the goals at large.

When it comes to his duties, Kaisei is a cold, shrewd and callous individual with a no-nonsense attitude — stemming from him not wanting to lose anything that he values. This is notably expressed through his frigid stare he gives others, new or old, to which many believe, and at times proport it to do a multitude of things such as "freezing the soul" and "perceiving one's innermost thoughts, exposing their true nature", further magnified whenever he dons his trademark mask. He's noted to take everyone seriously, and treats everything with such gravity, even if most don't do it in kind. Such seriousness can transform into a strong sense of hatred and ill will towards anything or anyone that dares harm what he holds dear — using all means to snuff out its existence. In such moments, he lives up to his reputation — developing a psychotic, bloodthirsty, and vengeful persona the likes of which is capable of striking fear into the hearts of even the strongest of warriors. Matching vindictiveness and his strong desire to protect that which he cares about, derived from the crushing guilt and regret of unable to save those that were within his reach during the time he isolated himself to grow stronger, Kaisei has developed strong machiavellianistic tendencies from which it was conceived the moment he found his life purpose; he's willing to use anybody in any way he can, so long as it meets his goals — exemplified by his known tendency for exposing those he deems as "unpure" in life-threatening situations without their awareness or the consequences that follow. Also, he's been known to be a sadist — personified in his evil expressions and somewhat crazed grins, reveling in the suffering of others, specifically people that rub him the wrong way or who have crossed him. Such sadism affects his missions, as he's well known for giving them a slow and painful death, making them suffer in the same way they did to others, disguising it as a "lesson" of sorts.

It's been indicated that Kaisei doesn't partake in humor and has zero tolerance for the antics and comedic stunts & mannerisms of others, often nipping it in the bud upon sight, which further emphasizes his serious nature. It's due to this that people often call him a buzzkill and taunt him for it, which usually ends up with a sword pointed at their throats or, ironically enough, being hit in a comedic fashion by Kaisei himself. Like a certain Fleet Admiral, Kaisei can be frightening when upset or aggravated to his maxim; with a few simple words in the most polite yet sinister tone he can muster, he can make others submit and cower in terror. In addition, there's always a "demonic visage" appearing in the background whenever the man speaks in such a tone, further augmenting its severity. While often coming off as very pushy and demanding in his speech, he retains a refined and elegant tone unbefitting his somewhat gruff exterior — which randomly throws people off while simultaneously being entranced. To an extent, it also has a snarky and rather sarcastic tone to it that gives off the impression that he commonly looks down on others, when in actuality it's the opposite; this creates a contrast to the aforementioned, which when combined together makes others believe he has a high degree of hubris. In terms of his articulation, which is derived from not being able to talk to others properly because of his antisocial tendencies, he addresses strangers and people he despises with "kisama" (気様), which, like "temee" (テム), is an offensive form of "you", though still more formal; notwithstanding, he uses proper honorifics when addressing everyone, believing that respecting one's peers and elders are important unless they exude a rotten persona filled with nothing but malice and discontent.

An underlying part of his entirety, albeit one he isn't really proud of, is his acting ability and the way he deceives others into believing whatever he says or does for his benefit; this is due to his promise of never becoming out-of-character because he may well become the very thing he hates above all else: a hypocrite. Humans are known liars and will do anything to get what they want, deception being the most prevalent. For many years, Kaisei continues the charade of "lying" to others through personified deception, embodying the personality best suited for the desired outcome in certain situations. This ranges from playing the victim to blend in with the crowd while seeking medical aid, despite having a hand in the events that occurred, to becoming a happy and upbeat person tends to look at the positive sides of life, to even a philosophical intellectual who dispenses advice concerning multiple areas — some of which he has little to no knowledge of. He's able to accomplish this feat because he's studied psychology through interaction for long periods, gaining insight into what a person wants. Since it becomes more believable the longer it's done, there have been times where Kaisei has assumed roles that could last for weeks, if not months at a time, just so he could achieve his ends while not drawing suspicion from those around him. He notes that those that can see through his acting are "monsters in sheep's clothing", beings who are well-versed in the same acts as him, which he further notes as "fitting" because they would be able to recognize their kind easily. In an ironic sense of humor, Kaisei once made a comment stating that he can become an actor if he wanted because of his ability to lie and easily assume roles to fit the situation.

Despite all of his faults and insecurities which make up the foundation of his entirety, Kaisei surprisingly has other sides of himself that are mostly presented in front of those he trusts. In terms of his personal happiness, Kaisei has rare moments when he can smile and appreciate the brighter sides of life despite his dour mentality — often reminding himself the reason for his long-term goals. He's also prone to gently smiling at the success of those he's either known or saved, believing that they will have a brighter future ahead of them despite running into some tribulations along the way; such a smile is noted to reassure a person when they're at their lowest — and at times, spiritually rejuvenates them, as it shows his belief in them becoming a better person, with Kaisei proudly admitting that they can become a much better person than himself as they can, in his words, "walk proudly in the light even when they've been in the darkness at some point in their life, having the strength to emerge, persevere, and continue to move forward". The difference between this genuine smile shown in such moments and the "superficial smile" he displays when assuming the guise of another persona created in the spur of the moment is that the latter is often used to get what he wants, thus is often misinterpreted. Often paired with his smile, aggressiveness, and a slew of his other quirks, he's noted to have a strange sense of pride; though he can be apologetic about some of his actions, despising them because of their cruel nature while recognizing their necessity in the grand scheme of things, he vehemently refuses to accept anything he considers pity or sympathy — reacting violently against those that show it towards him and those he cares about. In addition, he won't let anyone call those who picked to the best of their ability the choice that was most effective amongst their limited choices a victim. He feels that it was a disgrace that surpassed everything and was blasphemy against those who desperately tried to live. Those who do put such labels on such people tend to be humiliated in the worse way possible, thus forcing them to make the very same decisions — and by extension, undergo the same pain.

Due to the environment he was raised and now revels in, Kaisei has a penchant for battle and conflict — wanting to prove his power to others and harboring strong desire to stand at the top. It's for these reasons along with the aforementioned in the previous paragraphs that he constantly trains his abilities at a constant to break his previously limitations, reaching plateaus obtained only by a few. It's through his desire to master his powers that he reach the greater heights of strength and power achieved by most over the course of a lifetime. He often reminisces about most of the battles he's fought up till now with fondness, as it helped develop his character and aided in gathering allies and power for himself. Despite having pride in his efforts, values, and levels of power — knowing that they can make some kind of difference in such a "hellish world", he remains humble to those who are more powerful, recognizing that there are others who are stronger than himself, but will openly challenge them should they threaten what he holds dear and will use every ounce of his being to snuff them out of existence.

Due to him being a self-sustaining individual with many talents, Kaisei learned how to cook, clean, and perform other housework properly from a young age under the guidance of his parents, and later his master — which only improved as he got older. It's due to this that he's developed a certain degree of — consistently cleaning the area he's in when not on a mission or when taking a breather, preferring "order" over "chaos". Due to his travels, he's picked up many cooking and cleaning techniques — some of which are unorthodox to others, making them believe he made it up on the spot. In addition, he's well-versed in medicine and first-aid, due to the nature of his Devil Fruit powers after its "awakening" — giving him authority over life and death. Most of his knowledge comes from self-study while others come from books he's read during breaks between his missions.

A businessman first and a combatant second by way of his occupation as a mercenary, Kaisei believes in the philosophy of, "give and take"; it's rather common, being a key aspect of living. Kaisei knows everyone can't gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. Thus, when professionally making deals with others, he makes sure they benefit in some way as he doesn't want to seem like a cheater in lieu of his personal goals being rather selfish. However, there are times where he would outright refuse to hold his end of the bargain depending on the contents of the mission given to him or whatever trade he's involved with; whenever Kaisei says "Eh, I don't want to", he gains a certain degree of obstinance that becomes unrivaled and annoying to the point where no amount of compensation can change his mind. If he refuses to do a job or perform any requested action for someone else for whatever reason, it's best for the opposite party to just forget they even bothered.

Lastly, Kaisei has proven himself to be rather adventurous and adores making new discoveries and building up his experience; he believes that staying in a single location can be rather monotonous. This love for adventure is backed up his claim that if he didn't travel, he wouldn't have met the people who changed his life in some way — for better or for worse, and he wouldn't have gained the skills needed to protect those he cherished.

Path of the Wano Samurai
There are many traditions and values upheld in the Wano Country, and to those seeking to become the country's strongest, it's the "Path of the Wano Samurai" — a code of ethics and rules that one should follow in order for them to be considered true Wano Samurai. While some of them include mannerisms, weapon care, and the like — but the core tenants revolve around combat; a Wano Samurai's weapon exists to not only to reign victorious and forge bonds between others, but to protect one's spirit. It's said that to lose one's spirits — their ambitions, their sense of morality, their way of living, etc., is to impose "true death" upon the individual; thus Wano Samurai exists to hone their blades and gain strength for this very purpose. Due to Wano Samurai following this specific tenant above all others, they're feared across the globe where even two of the Three Great Powers dare not mess with them.

Ever since Kaisei came under the care of his master since the untimely death of his parents, he's had this code drilled into him via the cruel training he's undergone until it became part of his warrior nature; one can say that the Path of the Wano Samurai serves as one of the two foundations of his current personality — specifically: his lust for power, thrill of combat, and his ambition of obtaining "true peace". In a sense, it could double as a major fault, despite it being an excellent motivator, as his desperation to protect his spirit is such that if he truly believes that it's been crushed in any way, he wouldn't be able to go on, both as a warrior and someone originating from that country.

History
There are barely any people who know about Kaisei's full past, mainly because he fears that it can be used as a weapon to defeat him — though what he means is unclear; even with the people he's upfront with about this personal issue, he only tells specific parts, and even then is either mixed in with a bunch of falsehoods to give off the perfect backstory for himself when donning a fake persona or cloaked in a veil of mystery due to him being rather vague about the matter. Typically, the only ones who know his full history are those who grew up with him (i.e. those in the Kano Country) — some dying out because of either constant invasions on the island nation or because of its hazardous conditions despite years of improvement in its settlements.

Early Life
Originally born in the Wano Country and later adopted into an upper-middle-class family of the neighboring Kano Country through unknown means, Kaisei had a comfortable life for part of his childhood; his parents were respected throughout the Kano Country — his father, one of the country's most powerful generals and loyal retainer to the shogun, and his mother, a government official in charge of the country's state of affairs. Despite his parents' busy schedules, he maintained a positive relationship with them and was forever grateful for each moment he spent time with them when available. Rather meek and introverted, he was shy around others and didn't talk much; regardless, he was a hard-working individual who excelled at everything presented to him — training, academics, the arts, and such, earning him the praise and jealousy of those around him. He had a few friends, all of whom genuinely supported his endeavors and defended him when he was picked on by others. These friendships gave Kaisei a reason to strive harder, living up to their expectations as well as his parents.

Everything changed when he turned nine years of age — entering one of the most turbulent periods of his life. The Kano Country had been at odds with other countries and factions ever since their liberation from the 36th Jade Emperor over fifty years ago; to most, they saw the country as invadable since it was overtaken once before. Due to this, Kano had been at odds with foreigners for a brief period, and although it's been alleviated to a degree, the people still held their guard in case of another invasion. Sadly, their fears and doubts were well-founded..... Due to the breakdown in diplomacy with a neighboring country, the two went to war; this last for two years, with many tragedies on both sides. In the end, after invading each other multiple times, causing casualty after casualty, the Kano Country reigned victoriously.... but at a cost. Much of its military power has been lost, and important figures reported deceased. Among these were Kaisei's parents; his father died a noble death, killing the rivaling country's strongest warrior — a Devil Fruit, Haki, and Rokushiki user, and his mother had protected the current Jade Emperor from an assassination attempt at the cost of her life. The boy that was filled to the brim with kindness, despite his meek disposition, was now alone.

Their subsequent death labeled Kaisei an orphan, and with no living relatives and other refusing to take him in because of them dealing with their personal losses, he lost everything in a swift moment — his peaceful life in shambles. After a mass funeral was held, with ten days of mourning following after, government officials sought out Kaisei to adopt him into the emperor's family — the only way they could repay his parents' service to their country. However, by that time, he was long gone.

Path of the Wano
For the next three years, Kaisei would end up living in poverty — forced to survive in the harshest regions of the mountainous Kano Country, desperately thriving alongside the other orphans who lost their loved ones either to the war or through some other means. By then, he quickly grew out of his meekness and took on a somewhat stern, jaded and distrusting persona, realizing his environment's conditions and the way the world functioned; he would have to do everything in his power if he was going to see tomorrow. Unlike the other orphans, he didn't have that much of a hard time because of his blossoming talents and his teachings. He often hung out on battlefields, as the corpses often carried loot with them which he could use in some way; those living nearby often called him the "Corpse-Eating Demon" (食人鬼, Jikininki; lit. "Human-Eating Ghosts"), and was fearful of his presence because they thought he was a monster taking on a child's form. This would eventually attract a retired government official, war veteran, and former high-ranking Navy officer who would be later recognized as both the young man's sword master and grandfather figure. The old man had heard the rumors about the child and came to investigate it. Taking a liking to Kaisei and seeing himself in the child, the old man giving Kaisei his sword and asked him to come — offering him a chance to obtain power; seeing it as an opportunity to leave the live of an orphan and his chance at becoming stronger, he agreed to go with him without hesitation.

Over the next few years, Kaisei's life with the old veteran was strict and harsh, no different than his life when his parents were still alive; though he struggled greatly regardless of his talents, he managed to persevere and grow at an astonishing rate, obtaining techniques, and skills that would've taken others years to learn and acquire. This would include the first two shades of Haki and all six forms of the Rokushiki. Most importantly, the art of the sword, the way of the fist, and the Path of the Wano Samurai (as he was originally from Wano himself) were all beaten into him to the point where it becomes a part of his warrior nature. Throughout all of the grueling training and suffering, he didn't complain because he often blamed himself for being weak and realized that to have an effect on the world — strength is key. Although they trained, the two traveled all over Kano, visiting the most hazardous areas suitable for a warrior's growth, only visiting nearby towns and cities on the way. Experiencing many cultures of the Wano, and learning about the outside world through television broadcasts, articles, and gossip, Kaisei gains a keener understanding of the world's working than before, which made him strive even harder.

Eventually, his time with the man who would be his grandfather and mentor would soon come to a close and the boy will be alone once more; sensing his impending doom by natural causes due to his mastery of the Kenbunshoku Haki — he made a few plans while setting up a final lesson of sorts for the child he viewed as a grandson. Several months later, he taught Kaisei the final parts of his specialized swordsmanship and decided to challenge him to armed combat; though initially reluctant to fight him, not wanting to lose another loved one, his sensei told him that he was going to die anyway and that he doesn't have much time left. In addition, the combat served as a way for Kaisei to master the country's ultimate sword technique while giving the old man the honorable death he desired. Eventually agreeing to his conditions, albeit with a heavy heart, the two commenced their battle — which lasted a full eighteen hours. Despite being heavily wounded, he managed to succeed in mastering the technique his sensei wanted him to learn while giving him an honorable death; with his dying breath, he wished Kaisei the best and hopes that he becomes the strongest warrior in Wano — stating that he will always be considered the man's grandchild. Upon giving him a proper burial, Kaisei found himself alone once more and continued to wander, honing the skills he obtained while finding a way to deal with his trauma and personal issues.

Eventually, he was approached by a Wano government official after viewing his skills first-hand, quelling a large-scale conflict singlehandedly in Ri — one of the moderate-sized territories in the nation, utilizing his honed powers. Kaisei agreed to the officer's request, telling him to procure two specific items that his late master told him about — the Shini Shini no Mi and Intetsukijin, both of which were found in the depths of Kano, something that frightened the official because of the tales surrounding them. Days later, Kaisei came back to his home region, seeing that it was built better than before; in the center of the plaza stood a statue dedicated to his parents, who were celebrated as one of the country's greatest heroes, only to shed tears of joy and sorrow. Sometime later, he was reunited with the shogun he got to know since childhood and was thankful that Kaisei was still alive; he granted the silver-haired man his request and handed him the two items he requested. Since then, Kaisei was entrusted with two of the country's most dangerous treasures, which would serve as the reason for one of his current epithets.

For the next four years, Kaisei would be in the Jade Emperor's service — performing the same duties as his father, eventually becoming as powerful as he was despite the age difference; with each fight he quelled and service he performed, his name was known throughout the island nation. He became a feared and respected individual — more so when his connections with two of the country's greatest heroes made known to the public in one of the Jade Emperor's national speeches. Feeling like he's done all he could on the island and wishes to see more of the world, Kaisei left the Jade Emperor's services and decided to travel the world to see what it has to offer. Granting the ruler's blessings and was supplied with the all the necessities for his journey, Kaisei left Wano — never to return for the next few years.

Years of Isolation
Wandering the Grand Line, Kaisei spent most of his time combating the dangerous elements it had to offer; while he did state that he wanted to travel the world, his true purpose for this journey was "isolated training" — exposing himself to even harsher conditions than the ones in the Kano Country. For the next four years, Kaisei isolated himself from society and thrived on mother nature; if he could persevere through all of it, he would become tremendously strong in a short amount of time. Most would think of it as a foolhardy gesture, but that doesn't mean it's not accurate; true to his belief, Kaisei steadily gained strength — honing his skills, mastering his powers, and gaining new techniques for his ever-growing arsenal.

His constant fight with the Sea Kings, vicious plants, cannibalistic natives, ruthless pirates, and even other Devil Fruit users allowed him to master his sword arts, but his Devil Fruit powers — albeit using certain methods he studied during his tenure as a government official, granted access to forbidden documents concerning the fruit, his sword, and all six forms of the Rokushiki. He suffered various losses and reigned victorious a number of times; the culmination of all this arduous and reckless training resulted in the birth of a powerful warrior, one whose name shall spread across the globe. He gained his infamous scar, "awakened" to the true capabilities of his Devil Fruits, invented a new sword style, and obtained both his signature cloak and two new blades in the form of Sesshōmaru Bakuga and Yōtetsu Habakiri — all three taken from pirates and warriors he's slain. He was ready to face civilization once more.

Genesis of the Devil Fruit Hunter
His training complete and turning twenty-five, Kaisei used his time to prove his might to the world; not wanting to be allied with pirates nor Marines — he decided to become a mercenary and a bounty hunter, going after the most notorious rookies in the Grand Line. Embroiled in many fights and conflicts, Kaisei displayed his powers and techniques while steadily becoming stronger like any other fighter; he wanted to become someone truly worthy of the Kano Country and to find a way to establish "true peace" — as vague as the concept was. Though he still had his habit of isolating himself — now due to his lone-wolf warrior nature, thus had displayed signs of social awkwardness.

However, what was probably the most infamous part of his lifetime, he started to collect the Devil Fruit; he said that this was spurred on, ironically, by a World Noble during one of their vicious habits of making their slaves suffer. It was unknown where this occurred, but according to Kaisei, he slaughtered the noble that was about to force-feed their slave a Devil Fruit for sick pleasure — something that didn't sit well with him for multiple reasons. Utilizing his various skills, he killed the World Noble in an instant without him revealing his identity, liberating the slave moments before the Marine soldiers came to see the mishaps. Receiving thanks from the slave after transporting them to a nearby town, he decided to keep the Devil Fruit as payment; his cloak reacted to the Devil Fruit, "absorbing" it before returning to normal. From then on, he started to collect many Devil Fruits from various locations across the Grand Line while discovering his cloak's true worth.

The more Devil Fruits he collected, the more wary others became of his presence; he believed that Devil Fruit should be entrusted to those who would use it in the right manner, thus would take it away from those who would misuse it for personal gain. Soon, he started to target pirates and criminals who would abuse their Devil Fruit powers — killing them and stealing the fruit with the use of his cloak; Kaisei states that many came to him to buy the fruit off of him, but refused, which led to him being targeted quite often. It didn't matter to him because he would eventually slaughter them. As a mercenary, he's made connections with powerful and influential individuals all across the Grand Line (and possibly beyond) — taking on various duties, such as being a bodyguard, serving in a militia, going after targets (typically for their Bounty in his case), and jobs of a similar nature, never dabbling in something that he would find to be too immoral.

As he wanted his fame eventually grew to the point where he's recognized by two epithets: "Silver-Haired Death God" (銀髪の死神, Ginpatsu no Shinigami) — denoting to his silver hair and killing others using the various powers at his disposal, to the point where onlookers believe that he's undefeatable and somewhat of a "god", and "Devil Fruit Hunter" (悪魔の実猟師, Akuma no Mi Ryōshi), for his habit of going after and collecting Devil Fruits from various places and various wielders. His strength and prowess are such that those in the Kano Country celebrated his newfound fame and dubbed him as an "Honorable Child of the Kano", the highest honor for a Kano Warrior. His increased fame came with a price — the targeting grew even more, to the point where it was bothersome even for him; using the Life Return technique, he donned a new appearance, which would become the outlet for most of his false personas, Kai (怪, lit. "Mystery").

Equipment
Intetsukijin (陰鉄鬼神, lit. "Shadow Iron Demonic Psyche"): Kaisei's main signature weapon and one of the Kano Country's most dangerous treasures; a weapon with a bloody history, it possesses a malignant aura the likes of which has never been felt, dubbing it as a "Cursed Sword" (妖刀, Yōtō). While the legends of this sword have been greatly exaggerated, it can't be denied that it's considered to be a Meito — possibly belonging to the 12 Saijo O Wazamono Grade Sword category, the highest a sword can attain, further exemplifying its rarity and power. Like with Yōtetsu Habakiri, it's somewhat sentient — killing all those it deems unworthy; the reason it chose Kaisei because of his goals, which he recognizes will be paved with the bodies of others — which comments is much to the sword's delight, and that he's the current wielder of the Shini-Shini no Mi, granting him authority of death itself. Ever since the day Kaisei came into possession of the sword, it's shed much blood and taken many lives — growing evermore powerful. It's said that because of its nature, it's compatible with powers and abilities relating to life, death, and the spirit; to this end, not only does it possess superior cutting power and able to grow in strength with every foe it fells, but it serves as a medium for Kaisei's Devil Fruit powers.

Sesshōmaru Bakuga (殺生丸爆牙, lit. "Explosive Fang of Killing Perfection"): Sometime after departing from his home in the Kano Country and began his quest for peace, Kaisei came upon this powerful weapon in the Grand Line — taking it from another swordsman Kaisei deemed to be "unworthy of wielding it". Appearing as a white ceremonial with gold patterned edges on the hilt with bells hanging on the end, a golden tsuba with intricate designs, and having a very sharp edge, it's kept in its sheath and at his side at all time in between the Intetsukijin and Yōtetsu Habakiri. As the name would imply, Sesshōmaru Bakuga is a sword that embodies "destruction"; specifically, it acts as an outlet for the destructive energies contained within Intetsukijin — a medium for Kaisei's deadly Devil Fruit Powers. Each swing can release sparks or waves of devastating power, which can be fatal upon contact. This makes its existence similar to the Yōtetsu Habakiri, which constantly suppresses the blade's vicious aura with its holy one while bolstering the two seals placed on it. Kaisei noted that, by itself, Sesshōmaru Bakuga is just an ordinary blade with extremely absurd cutting power; however, its true potential can only be brought forth when wielded alongside the Intetsukijin. In this sense, the two swords can be considered Seijūrō's pair in which he applies his unique form of swordsmanship. The way he utilizes the blade is rather unorthodox for him, considering his somewhat aggressive sword style, but not unheard of in his home country; it serves as a test-run, estimating the strength of his opponents and formulating his movements in response. It's said that the only time he draws both of them together is when he faced with an opponent he can't beat under normal circumstances or when he's sworn to end a person's life by any and all means.

Yōtetsu Habakiri (陽鉄羽々斬, lit. "Holy Iron Slashing Wings"): The third signature sword under Kaisei's possession, he expressed the sword's importance on various occasions — stating that its main purpose is to counteract Intetsukijin. The three swords are always seen with each other, with the Yōtetsu Habakiri always remaining undrawn but its mysterious power — which is discovered to be the collective essence of its previous wielders, still radiates reinforcing the double-layered seal of its counterpart. Its original name was, and sometimes currently referred to as, Amakanshō-no-Tachi (天干渉の太刀, lit. "Longsword of Divine Intervention"), but was later changed by its current master to better reflect its true purpose. Due to its legendary status, like Intetsukijin, it's considered to be a Meito — possibly belonging to the 12 Saijo O Wazamono Grade Sword category, the highest a sword can attain, further exemplifying its rarity and power. According to Kaisei, the sword was forged for the sole purpose of "cleansing all evils" — though its methods of doing so are currently unknown. Having been used for over a long period passed down from generation to generation, it eventually reached the hands of Kaisei by way of "appropriating it" from a now-deceased pirate who had it in his possession. Thus, it's more akin to a ceremonial tool used in, if anything. What gives this sword its great power is the utilization of Kaisei's Devil Fruit powers upon his "awakening", which explains the blade's lustrous glow. Essentially, as the sword was forged to "destroy evil", it can slice through and effectively purify anything tainted with malice — healing the afflicted in the process; strangely enough, because it's a "sword of healing" it can't injure, thus its uses lie outside of battle. Under the influence of the Shini-Shini no Mi, the sword is sentient to a degree — described to have a benevolent nature to match its overall purpose, thus pulsates when its needed to be drawn and granting Kaisei extra benefits, such as protection and the like.

Myoujingiri (明神切, lit. "Cutting Down Gods and Devils Alike"): The fourth and final signature sword under Kaisei's possession, and somewhat serves as his bane of sorts; this is due to its special properties, which is also the reason why he keeps it on his person and use it against a "select few". The young swordsman confirmed that the blade isn't a Meito like the other three he uses, as its creation was rather recent — going off by its condition. Despite that, it's highly valued; this is due to its composition being an amalgamation of and an unknown black metal found within the depths of the. Due to the blade's coloration — albeit overlayed with gold, it's naturally classified as a "Kokutō" (黒刀, lit. "Black Blade"), the second rarest type of sword. Kaisei noted that it's creation is a mystery as the methods of implementing is only known to a select few in both the Marines and the World Government; upon having a weapons-keep analyze its design, he estimated it to be at least 200,000,000 at its lowest. While possessing incredible cutting power like Sesshōmaru Bakuga and Intetsukijin, it's true value is found when utilized against other Devil Fruit users; not only is it immune to Devil Fruit attacks, but it can cut through most Devil Fruit users — especially those of the Logia class. Thus, Kaisei claims that its other name is the "Anti-Devil Fruit Blade" (悪魔の実反刀, Akuma no Mi Hantō). Like with another blade, it's incredibly durable to the point where it's nigh indestructible. Due to being a Devil Fruit user himself, Kaisei is extremely careful and cautious when handling the blade for a variety of reasons.

Amenotejikara (天手力, lit. "Heavenly Hand Power"): An ancient relic of the, Kaisei discovered these beads deep within a mountain he trained in during his stay; they are known as the "Prayers of Domination" (覇業の願, Hagyō no Gan) due to their effect when applied to targets under given conditions imposed by its users. In Kaisei's case, they serve as a seal of sorts, suppressing the target's power in the same manner as seastone cuffs. Beautiful in coloration and shining like pearls reflecting sunlight, the Amenotejikara constantly emits a radiant aura from its being. Kaisei was rather pleased with the beads as it had the power to help contain the ever-growing power of his sword, fully aware of its dangerous influence when left unchecked due to its synchronization with his Devil Fruit powers. Thus, despite the fact that the beads' power can be used in other ways, Kaisei converts it to an additional layer of protection for his sword; combined with Intetsukijin's sheath and the presence of Yōtetsu Habakiri, the three serve as an "absolute sheathe". When the blade is drawn, the beads are usually tied around his arm or kept around his neck until its time for the sword to be sheathed once more.

Junreibyōshi'i (純霊廟死衣, lit. "Exorcised Mausoleum Shroud"): A mysterious shroud that Kaisei obtained in the New World, made from a special material that can access and manipulate separate spaces; it's said that this shroud is like the one Blackbeard uses to extract Devil Fruit powers from defeated wielders, thus it possesses the same capabilities. To this end, it becomes the main tool Kaisei himself utilizes to extract the Devil Fruits from users he deems "unworthy". Taking the form of a multicolored luminescent veil, it's wrapped around his three swords, keeping them together; due to its lustrous appearance, it's sought out by others — seeing it as a "valuable fashion accessory", ignorant to its true capabilities. Like with its counterpart, it expands upon usage, draping itself over Kaisei and the target — creating a passage between himself and the designated area within the target; while it can be used to infiltrate highly-guarded locations, Kaisei applies it to link himself to where the Devil Fruit is located in the body so he can retrieve it.

Chained Throwing Knives: Something that he had custom-made — using unique methods to craft them Kaisei is always seen carrying around a set of shuriken strapped to the chain of his pants, detachable through a special magnetic mechanism on said chain; it serves as his primary offensive long-range weapon. He finds them to be very handy, as it allows him to stroke his targets from the distance while not letting them know of his position. Having been self-taught in wielding these small, dangerously sharp blades — most of which was done through witnessing other users' proficiency with such a weapon, copying their movements through eidetic memory, Devin has high amounts of skill in shurikenjutsu — proficient enough to control their trajectory at will by the position he launches them; this makes it possible to have multiple shuriken assault his target from multiple angles, making it almost impossible to block them all. They are known to be very responsive to his spiritual powers, their power and accuracy increase if infused with a small amount — making them all the more deadly. These shuriken are made from a durable metal, thus can't be cut through or deflected easily; not only that, they are lightweight, thus able to travel through the air at incredible speeds — having no additional lag. These serves as factors for its easy usage. Though usually carrying a set, Kaisei has some hidden underneath his hoodie — usable through a mechanism that allows for automatic summoning and/or fire, letting him catch his enemies off-guard. Though he tends to finish off his targets using his sword or his powers, he uses his shuriken to off opponents he deems either "weak" or "unworthy to die by his blades, Haki, or Devil Fruit powers".

Weighted Clothing &amp; Gear: While rather an archaic means of martial arts training, Kaisei comments on the effectiveness of his weighted clothes and gear despite having strong doubts when initially introduced to the concept by his deceased master; typically, normal clothing would equate easier movement, but doesn't really strengthen the body. However, through weighted clothing, it becomes possible to boost one's physical, and sometimes spiritual capabilities depending on how much pressure it imposes on the body. When Kaisei was forced to wear such attire, he found that he couldn't move at all — needing to actively cycle spirit energy throughout their entire body in order to simply move, let alone fight. Nevertheless, it's through such intense training with his "new gifts" that the silver-haired man saw a vast increase in both overall capabilities. It's from then on that he's prone to wear such clothing on nearly every occasions; the weighted clothing is created by applying a unique form of Haki that adds additional weight proportionate to the user's desires. When originally applied by his master, he added a monstrous amount which he found to be proportionate to his reluctant disciple's reserves of energy. Currently, Kaisei has added on even more weight since then in order to properly train both his body and spirit to surpass his limits and ascend to greater heights; it doesn't extend to just his combat attire, but all outfits he wears, putting him in a "constant training state".

Devil Fruit Collection: True to his epithet as the "Devil Fruit Hunter" (悪魔の実猟師, Akuma no Mi Ryōshi), Kaisei has amassed a large quantity of Devil Fruits in his lifetime — either by chance, force, coercion or otherwise; due to studying everything there is to know about these mysterious fruits, he found a way to take them off of the corpses of its previous users in a similar fashion to, using the sublime powers of the Junreibyōshi'i — which doubles as their storage unit, occupying the cloak's sub-space; while usually carrying a small amount on his person at all times for given reasons, he usually keeps the rest in secret locations only knows about and able to get there through the power of the cloak and a secret technique. However, due to having such a quantity of his person, he's been hunted by Marines, Pirates, Brokers, Scientists, Hunters, World Nobles, and individuals seeking fame and power alike; in addition, this "hobby" has earned him the malice and fear from other Devil Fruit users, who are commonly his targets. However, he notes that he's somewhat discriminatory in this regard, targeting users who often misuse and/or abuse their powers at other's costs, especially without proper justification. While he does admit that procuring such fruits has its dangers, it makes hunting targets easier due to their greed, not to mention making deals with certain individuals to meet his ends — the fruits serving as collateral. He's noted that he's picked up such a habit from a World Noble, ironically, who are the very targets of his ire because of their nature and status in the world, learning that it's important that they don't fall into the hands of such individuals. Incredibly enough, Kaisei has remembered every fruit he's taken, found, or given thus far: going from their appearance to tastes, and most importantly their powers and which place he's hidden them. He notes that he's collected various types of Devil Fruits belonging to all three categories — the exact number being only known to him and those he fully trusts.

Powers & Abilities
As a highly-trained warrior from one of the most feared countries on the planet — so much so that not even the Marines would dare mess with them, the current user of one of the deadliest Devil Fruits in existence — something that was eventually mastered with enough years of training, experience, and being in the right environments to promote stable growth, and bearer of three powerful high-grade Meito swords capable of choosing their respective wielders, Kaisei is a strong individual capable of felling even the strongest and most feared opponents with much effort. His multiple feats which earned him his various epithets puts him in a fantasy light, with only a select few capable of matching his strength.

Due to his "hobby", occupation, and combat strength, he's been sought out by many individuals — either to reign victorious over him and dispel the stories about his might, to ask for his aid in taming forces that even most militias have trouble dealing with or to seek out the treasures in his possession.

Not to mention there's nothing wrong with being young. I mean, haven't people searched for a way to becoming youthful before? I mean, it's seen throughout history.

Through it all, how will one go about marking the evil in this shit hole and take them out? You wish that such things exist only in fairy tales. Heroes aren't born, they're created. Whether it'd be for someone.... or because of someone.... There's no way a person created like that would be of any use to this world, right? What we need right now isn't a hero. What we need right now in the midst of such turbulence and debauchery is someone who cleans away this world of its trash."

Shini Shini no Mi
{|class="toccolours collapsible collapsed navbox" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style=" float: center; font-size:90%; width:100%;" !colspan="2" style=" text-align:center; font-size:13.5px; font-weight:bold; background:#000000; color:#FFFFFF"| Death Death Fruit The Shini Shini no Mi is a very dangerous Paramecia-type that grants one the power over the concept of "Death", turning its user into a Death-Bringing Human (死者人間, Shisha Ningen). Having a slew of users since its conception, none have mastered its powers fully and succumbed to an early demise due to its powers, giving it the title "Atrocious Devil Fruit of Misfortune" (惨い悪魔の実の厄, Mugoi Akuma no Mi no Yaku).

It was eaten by Kaisei Ōga — the first and only user thus far to completely tame and master the fruit's immeasurable powers; he states that he was able to accomplish this feat because he had to meet "specific conditions" within a certain time limit. According to the elderly residents of, who fully knows the fruit's history, it's said that its bearers carry the title "Death, Destroyer of Worlds" (死·世界の駆逐艦, Shi, Sekai no Kuchikukan) — something Kaisei believes to be a gross exaggeration.

Appearance
"Huh. Rather sweet for a fruit associated with death. Thought it would stink like a rotting corpse; the stench of death is never pleasant. ....At least it got the "Death" aspect down in looks."

- Kaisei's comments about the Devil Fruit upon obtaining it.

According to Kaisei, the Shini Shini no Mi's form is that of a, possessing unique characteristics like any other Devil Fruit; he comments on Kuraigana Island, the pomegranate is one of the few foods that holds traditional value to its people — specifically, eaten and displayed during time of mourning. In his childhood, during various celebrations commemorating the kingdom's history and those who passed away in recent years, all he could remember is that the Kuraigana denizens eating pomegranates. Despite it being linked to something morbid, it became one of his favorite foods because of how frequent he ate it (surrounded by death was something common for him in his life), and the representation that he put on it — serving as a positive memorial rather than a grim reminder. Thus, consuming the Devil Fruit was somewhat of a pleasure.

Upon sight, Kaisei stated that it was twice the size of a normal pomegranate, enough to fit in both palms of one's hand, and the nearly decaying and shriveled skin was covered in (Θ) patterns; it's a dull red from the top that slowly fades into black at its bottom. Despite it looking like a decaying and moldy fruit, it's quite edible and has a powerful aroma reminiscent of pink carnations.

Perhaps the greatest quality of this fruit is its seeds — serving as the source of its power; Kaisei stated that there has to be a particular method of eating this Devil Fruit, including when and where to do it. Apparently, to unlock its powers, it has to be eaten on a day of great mourning, in the area where a tragedy occurred, during a new moon; all of the seeds would have to be consumed first, then the skin. He discovered this method after gaining knowledge about its previous users and how they've obtained it. Kaisei comments that both the seeds and skin are rather soft, bursting and melting in his mouth, making it easier to consume. Even its juices were rich in flavor yet was easy on the stomach. It took twenty-four hours for the fruit to take full effect, with Kaisei noting that there was a black aura surrounding him and he was able to see the "lifelines" of everything in the vicinity.

Trivia

 * The fruit used as a representation of the Shini Shini no Mi is rather fitting, according to the author, as it's related to the concept of "death" in Greek mythology. It's associated with Persephone, wife of Hades and daughter of Demeter; upon being tricked to eat the pomegranate growing in the underworld, she was forced to stay there for half of each year — serving as the God of the Underworld's wife and its queen, caring for the pure souls as her own children.
 * The powers of this fruit are based on powers from three distinct media: Ankhseram's Black Magic from the anime/manga series — Fairy Tail, Baraggan Louisenbairn's Resurrección, Arrogante, from the series — Bleach, and finally the Instant-Kill effect of the One-Cut Killer: Murasame from the series — Akame Ga Kill!
 * According to the author, the Shini Shini no Mi forms a pair with the Kiki Kiki no Mi — the two being embodiments of death and are considered to be equals to various extents; this makes a parallel with Kaisei and Ares, who are both similar in many regards, despite being mortal enemies.

According to Kaisei Oga, it's considered to be one of the most sought after Devil Fruits by those in high positions of power, as it would effectively allow them to conquer an entire nation, and possibly the world, through the power of one's words.

It's current user is Kugan — a former World Noble, a high-ranking officer in the Revolutionary Army, and one of the Underworld's Emperors; his lineage and positions make him worthy of wielding the fruit's powers. In addition, Kaisei believes that it was best left to his care as he's not one to abuse power. According to Kugan, the fruit is considered to be a sign of his and Kaisei's tight-knit friendship and loyalty towards one another.

Appearance
"A fruit with the mien of a gem. Typical for something with the power to rule."

- Kaisei, and later Kugan, commenting on the Devil Fruit's appearance.

In the  (悪魔の実図鑑, Akuma no Mi Zukan?), true to its description, the Rei Rei no Mi is given the epithet "The Most Beautiful Devil Fruit" (一番きれい悪魔の実, Ichiban Kirei Akuma no Mi) because of its sublime appearance; it's easily mistaken as a pricey ornament rather than an actual fruit, let alone a Devil Fruit. It's unknown how it obtained such a sublime appearance, but many theories state that it's linked with the powers it grants and its representation in reality. There have been a few users of this power, all of whom eventually became powerful rulers and generals with immense influence; due to its rarity and power, it's said that both the World Nobles and Kings of various large countries are very possessive and anyone of a "lower class" who comes in contact with this fruit will be given the instant death penalty. It's unknown how Kaisei came into the fruit's possession, but it's his most heavily-guarded until he handed it to Kugan for consumption.

Taking on the form of a large fig filling both palms of one's hand, it's sparkling shell appears to be covered in a diamond-like substance — the source of its sublime beauty; this might be influenced in the environment where it's grown, but in lieu of this trait, it's rather soft and edible. Kaisei and Kuga both dub it as "Chewy Gem Skin" (噛む宝革, Kamuhougawa) — as if one's capable of munching and swallowing on gems. It's true worth, however, can be found in its juices and flesh, the sources of the Devil Fruit's power; the flesh and juices glow luminously and both incredibly edible and boasts the utmost sweetness. In the encyclopedia, this fruit is one of the few that has to be prepared in order to take full advantage of its properties. Using his excellent culinary skills, Kaisei prepared it in the form of a delicious fig pie — which Kugan noted to be one of the most delicious and elegant dishes he's ever partaken in, even when he lived in Mariejois. In that instant, Kugan was overflowing with immense power, evident by the purple aura outlining his body.

Are Are no Mi
{|class="toccolours collapsible collapsed navbox" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style=" float: center; font-size:90%; width:100%;" !colspan="2" style=" text-align:center; font-size:13.5px; font-weight:bold; background:#000000; color:#FFFFFF"| Storm Storm Fruit The Are Are no Mi is a potent Logia-type that allows its users to manipulate aspects of storms, "violent winds", and at times extreme weather conditions — possessing a profound impact on the atmosphere, thus having a naturally vast range; this subsequently turns them into a Tempest Human (暴風雨人間, Bōfū Ningen). Unlike other Devil Fruits, it's possible to control multiple elements — albeit to a lesser degree, because of a storm's composition, though it makes much control; this makes it very versatile in terms of combat capabilities.

Originally in Kaisei Ōga's possession — part of his vast Devil Fruit Collection, it was later gifted to and consumed by Knik, a General Inspector of the Marines and a Private Detective, as a sign of their trust and longstanding friendship with one another; according to Kaisei, he believes that Knik is the only person alive capable of reigning in the fruit's destructive potential — the detective meeting all the necessary conditions mentioned in the encyclopedia. Knik mentions that this was one of the fruits he searched for, as it would allow him to achieve his desire of "becoming one with the wind".

Appearance
"Wait, did the wind just pick up in the atmosphere as soon as I approached this fruit, or am I imagining things? Also, it appears that clouds are gathering in the vicinity at a much quicker rate than normal. Though..... it appears.... I'm.... suffocating..."

- Kaisei commenting on the hazards of the Devil Fruit upon approaching it.

Like the powers it contains, the fruit itself is considerably dangerous; according to Kaisei, this was one of the harder fruits he obtained — hazard levels equating the Shini Shini no Mi, the Ken Ken no Mi, and the Kiki Kiki no Mi alike. According to the  (悪魔の実図鑑, Akuma no Mi Zukan?), the Are Are no Mi is grown in the most hazardous environments — usually those with high-levels of flora that's located near large bodies of water, and active during storms and heavy rainfall; when Kaisei happened upon the fruit, it was grown in a jungle located near — when the island was hit with the. The fruit was glowing magnificently during this period, possessing luminosity of a diamond; however, such beauty isn't without its dangers, as Kaisei stated that he nearly died because of its sudden activity. As recorded in the encyclopedia, the Devil Fruit is somewhat carnivorous in lieu of its delicate and ephemeral appearance; upon its conception, the ratio of components in the air is different so there can be dense oxygen, carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Using such a quality, it mainly seeks nutrition by either increasing the air pressure or changing its properties around it to kill weaker creatures, and once its prey's body dies it will absorb them into itself for nutrition. If not for his training and combat experience, Kaisei's death would've been certain.

Aside from the explained method above, another defense mechanism that it possesses is the ability to stir up thunderstorms and heavy rainfall itself to almost the same extent as an Aqua Laguna; somewhat sentient, it can perceive when it's in danger. When a being strong enough to threaten it approaches, it will release spores into the air that can cause clouds to form and wind pressures to suddenly pick up — eventually spurring up a miniature storm of sorts. Whether this serves as a ward from such being or its alternate method of killing is unknown. The only way of picking it would be do it from a distance outside of its awareness; in Kaisei's case, he used a combination of his kenjutsu and mastery of the Rokushiki to pull off such a feat.

Its appearance is quite magnificent, resembling a white porcelain-like tree with an oval-shaped base — multiple sprout-like roots attached to multiple orbs; after being cut down from the base, it transforms into its true self — a giant ball of purple, pink, and blue clouds in different shades that are swirling around each other, weighing exactly three times as much and being five times bigger than a normal Devil Fruit. Apparently, its size, weight, and appearance are due to the nutrition it stored for growth and activity during stormy periods; the encyclopedia states that it can only be consumed during times of heavy rainfall and storms, and prepared as either a wine, jelly, or a pastry for it to take full effect in its users — eating it whole proving detrimental to its users, causing their untimely destruction because of its compact nutrients having an overwhelming flavor. According to Knik, who ate it in pastry form when Kaisei cooked it for him, it possessed a powerful flavor: sweet, sour, and spicy, yet gentle on the tongue — which would explain the normal qualities of a storm's intensity.

Chiyu Chiyu no Mi

The potency of this Devil Fruit is such that it grants what some calls the "Ultimate Physique" (極恰幅, Kyōkukappaku) — free of all health issues and maintained at its peak, ensuring that said user can implement the fruit's powers to its full capacity. Amongst those in the medical world, it's a sought after fruit for a variety of reasons.

Originally belonging to Kaisei Ōga — a part of his vast Devil Fruit Collection, it was eventually entrusted to Killuin, his personal physician who's well-known throughout the for his "practices". Unlike the other Devil Fruits that he entrusted to his companions, this one is merely a business transaction — though the two share a friendly yet mutual partnership with each other.

Appearance
"I guess an apple a day DOESN'T keep the doctor way from what it seems. Ironic, isn't it?"

- Killuin to Kaisei upon receiving the fruit from the latter.

The Chiyu Chiyu no Mi, true to its theme, takes the form of a white apple with various characteristics that make it easily identifiable; as pictured in the  (悪魔の実図鑑, Akuma no Mi Zukan?), it's almost twice the size of a normal apple and has the outlines of the etched across its skin. Even its stem is stylized as a, further denoting to its theme. When Kaisei found the fruit on, it glistened brightly because it was growing in a healthy and stable environment — akin to a patient getting better in a hospital or clinic with a positive atmosphere; in addition, due to this influence, the fruit's capabilities are much greater than grown in any other type of environment — making it the only Devil Fruit whose power level is dependent on where it's grown.

According to Killuin upon receiving the fruit from Kaisei, he states that he would have to grind the fruit and extract the juices — which is then injected into himself with a syringe through a series of shots; it was the only way for the body to properly absorb the fruit for it to take full effect. After forty-eight hours, Killuin felt throbbing pain throughout his being before going comatose for a while and being "reborn" soon after; he theorizes that his body had to "die" first, and let the fruit reconstruct his body in order for its powers to be fully usable. Upon completion, he had a potent green and pink aura surrounding his body while all his internal and external injuries healed up. He even felt changes in his brain, organs, and various physical frames — becoming stronger, more flexible, and able to retain and absorb much more information than prior.

Trivia

 * Some of its powers derive from the light novel series, Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi — the source of the fruit's unorthodox power and usage. Others are derived from high-ranking Medical Ninjutsu from the anime/manga series, Naruto.


 * As mentioned before in the article, apples are associated with health, medication, and physicians, thus rather fitting for the Devil Fruit focusing on "health" and "medication".

Originally part of Kaisei Ōga's Devil Fruit Collection, it was later fed to Talbot K. Lupin — hoping to improve the beastman's health and mentality while earning its trust moments after liberating it from a and putting him under Khuvira's care.

Appearance
A unique Devil Fruit, this model of the Inu Inu no Mi is different than others — closely denoting to one of the various abilities that it grants its user: transparency via ghost-like physiology; it has the overall shape and green hue of a large pear fruit covered in wave-like markings. However, its physical form is completely translucent, making it appear as though it is made of glass and only viewed when looked at from certain angles in strong sources of light. Despite this, it is a very solid and hardy fruit and it holds a large amount of compressed juice within itself and when bitten into the juice fizzes out in large bubbly quantities that has an almost transparent color. Beguiling its appearance and true to its theme, it has a rather ominous presence that wards off weaker creatures and make stronger ones approach it with caution.

According to the  (悪魔の実図鑑, Akuma no Mi Zukan?, the Devil Fruit can be eaten raw and upon biting into it, fizzy juices are released which shines brilliantly and gushes out in large amounts, showing just how much juice is compact into it. The juice, which serves as the source of the fruit's powers, is very sweet, refined and refreshing and has a wondrous fizzy and sparkly feel that is like soda water jumping into one's mouth. The juice has all the delicious qualities of various tropical fruits combined into one sweet fruity flavor that keeps bursting one after another. After the first bite the juice stops gushing out in large sprays and mellows out but the fizziness remains as strong and continues to gush out almost endlessly.

Upon full consumption, the Devil Fruit's abilities go into full effect, transforming its users into the wolf of legend shortly before reverting them to their original form; Kaisei banked on this trait when he fed the fruit to Talbot in order to heal his wounds from the abuse he's undergone during his time as a slave.

Trivia

 * The name and capabilities of this fruit are based on the English novel —, and the standard depicted in various cultures; in addition, it's also based off of Pluto's dog form from the anime version of Black Butler — who was also a hellhound.
 * Currumpaw Lobos' name is translated as "Phantom Werebeast", denoting to his status as a folklore figure; to an extent, it also points to Hessian Lobo from the series, Fate/Grand Order — a mixture of the Headless Horseman and Lobo, which would explain this fruit's ghostlike capabilities.

"Power-Power Fruit") is a rare Paramecia-type that allows its users to — a certain point, manipulate the fundamental forces known to man, embodying the concept of "power"; to this end, they're transformed into a Power Human (力人間, Chikara Ningen). The fruit's existence is shoruded in mystery, as there's little information pertaining to it — appearance and possible locations aside.

The fruit was found by Kaisei Ōga in an isolated region of the, and later introduced to its current user and Kaisei's student/"girlfriend" — Dahlia K. Simmons; the latter only heard of the fruit through rumors and stories told about it, and because of that she was hesitant about claiming it for herself, worrying about the possible dangers it presents, until she was convinced by the silver-haired man to do so.

Appearance
"So large and yet..... so majestic. It feels like the entire world is focused on that fruit, as it sits there perched on that plateau. Like a king overlooking his subjects from a throne." "Rather appropriate if you asked me. It's said that its taste is even more than its looks. I wonder if that's really true? Want to find out?"

- Kaisei and Dahlia about the fruit upon reaching its location.

Referred to as the "Phantom Devil Fruit" (幻悪魔の実, Gen Akuma no Mi) due to it mostly shrouded in mystery, it's grown at the highest plateau located in the depths of the Red Line; its environment makes it nigh unreachable, with only the bravest and strongest of souls accomplishing the feat. Thus, the fact that Kaisei was able to do so, and later bring Dahlia along to bear witness, says much about his strength. Normally, the  (悪魔の実図鑑, Akuma no Mi Zukan?) would given volumes of information on each Devil Fruit discovered, including how many users it had, its appearance, how to properly consume it, what type of environment it's grown, and most importantly — what powers it grants its users; it's possible because such information has been recorded by researchers who ever come in contact with the fruit in some way. However, this isn't the case with the Ken Ken no Mi, mainly because there were very few users and its location is extremely hazardous to those below a certain power level.

When Kaisei, and later Dahlia, laid their eyes on the Devil Fruit, they were somewhat captivated by its appearance; located high upon a plateau, surrounded by a vast meadow located within the depths of a mountain, it took the form of two large and glistening plums ("cherries", according to Dahlia) perched upon intertwining stalks, noted to be incredibly sturdy, as even Kaisei — a master swordsman, had a bit of trouble cutting through it, and overlooked by a vast starry sky. Like all Devil Fruits, it has various markings, which strangely resemble runes from an ancient language; when plucked, the two resonate and fuse with one another to become a single entity and grow to a reasonable size — making it the only Devil Fruit to change its size and shape upon being picked.

Upon consumption, Dahlia described the Devil Fruit's flavor as a "carnival of flavours"; Kaisei theorizes that it must be due to being grown in an environment that's equated as the "center of everything", thus being able to assimilate many different nutrients from various sources from not its current location, but possibly other areas near it. He likens this to a smoothie, a blend of different fruits and vegetables to bring out a unique flavor amalgamation. Apparently, Dahlia noted that she felt "immense power" surging through her person upon full consumption, rather strange in Kaisei's case since he noted that there was a delayed effect every time he handed someone he trusted a fruit he's collected.

Simmons; through their captain, they become the personal police force of the K-13.

History
"It's because she believed in us, those who were considered "meaningless" and discarded by society, that we follow here without hesitation. This group exists because of our Vice Admiral's kindness; for that, we're forever grateful."

- One of the Nereids explaining the unit's existence to one of their newer members.

Sometime after Dahlia was promoted to Vice Admiral, she was given the choice to work alone or form her own unit; choosing the latter on Kaisei's suggestion, she decided to follow in the footsteps of a, and make an all-female unit — noticing the gender disparity in the organization. She first picked up women inside the organization that was facing some kind of discrimination and personally trained them, playing on their unique characteristics. As the group completed missions and gaining fame, more women decided to join slowly increasing its ranks; in addition, those who personally knew Dahlia and were facing their personal struggles joined her in hopes of becoming more powerful and paying back her kindness with their strengths. Eventually, they became one of the larger units in the Marines, which spurred more women to join because of their rising popularity and emulating the strength that a woman has despite biological differences between fellow genders.

Crew Strength
"You shouldn't underestimate us Sirens! We're known to drown our captives into the abyss of despair~! Our captain is best at that, after all!"

- A subordinate about the unit's power, especially in regards to their Vice Admiral.

According to Kaisei and some of the upper and lower-ranked Marines, the Sirenuse are one of the stronger units in the organization, most of the female subordinates having been trained by Dahlia herself to make full use of their capabilities; though they were original "strays" from inside and affiliated with the Marines, it was under their captain's guidance and trust that they were able to bring forth their latent potential. It's one of the few well-cohesive units as all the members share painful pasts and were "discarded" before coming under Dahlia's wing, thus able to work together and play on each other's strengths and weaknesses; it's highly unlikely that there's a sense of betrayal amongst the rankings because of the sisterhood shared amongst the members, often confiding in one another about their problems and sharing both good and bad experiences. Due to the harsh spartan-like sparring they've done together, they're able to execute well-formulated formations and thrive in any environment their ship takes them.

Everyone on board can use one of the two common forms of Haki, or in certain cases — both, thus are able to combat Devil Fruit users accordingly, though some are included among them thanks to Kaisei supplying Dahlia with Devil Fruits upon request, per his role; having come from various walks of life, they're well-seasoned due to information shared. Amongst those of the unit, those closest to the Vice-Admiral is called the "Nereids" (, Nerīdesu; lit. "Revered Daughters of the Sea Goddess"), numbering twenty-five exact, and are given authority over the rest of the unit if need be. They are considered to be the strongest and one of the first to join the unit — capable of taking on high-level opponents when the need arises.

Eridene
The Eridene is the personalized Marine Ship of the Sirenuse, used for their voyages and missions; it's considered to be much larger than a normal Marine ship, like those personalized by other Vice Admirals, fitting the theme of their group. Built by the master shipwrights of, and personally paid by Kaisei Ōga as a congratulatory gift for her promotion and crew formation, approximated at almost 1,750,000,000 it's rather spacive — rooming up to 500 people easily, including civilians and prisoners alike. Typically, it's equipped with the rooms found in other ships: Marine, Pirate, or otherwise: captain's cabin, subordinate cabins, kitchen, gym, library, jail cells, research room, etc. The deck is wide enough for combat and practice battles, as well for others to socialize and enjoy the ride. Like all Marine ships, it hoists the Marine flags on its masts. Like the, formerly belonging to the "", the figurehead of the ship appears to be a pair of mermaids alongside a forward facing cannon. Parts of the ship is made from the and is  with a special resin from the, enabling it to survive the crushing depths of the ocean, such as at the bottom of the Red Line — making it perfect for undersea exploration and missions.

Kyzer Fairclough (カイザー·フェアクロフ, Kaizā Feakurofu) is a former Marine Captain before his eventual "defection" via. faked death; originally from a distinguished family who served the Marines for generations, he quickly rose through the ranks despite his half-hearted nature, but was "killed" during a pirate raid on his base. Hiding amongst the corpses, he escaped under the cover of night and sailed to — the last place anyone would look for him. He studied under a master blacksmith and was on his path to his actual dreams.

During this time, he would cross paths with Kaisei Ōga — whom he eventually formed a deep bond with, sharing very similar mindsets and trusting in each other's skills; his master dying some time after, leaving him to inherit his workplace, Kaisei gave him the Gutsu Gutsu no Mi to further develop his skills in exchange for weapon repairing and stocking.

Throughout Water 7, he's known by his new alias Tōtōsai (刀々斎, lit. "Sword Purification"), his creations amongst the best in the world; in battle, he's referred to as the "Red-Haired Quicksilver" (赤髪の液体水銀, Akagami no Ekitai Suigin) — pointing towards his use of the Devil Fruit emphasized by the color of his hair. Like others before him, he would become an unofficial member of the K-13 — serving as one of the group's suppliers and repairman.

Incidentally, this turns them into a Blast Furnace Human (溶鉱炉人間, Yōkōro Ningen).

Originally belonging to Kaisei Ōga — being part of his vast Devil Fruit Collection, he gave it to Kyzer Fairclough to assist in his desire of "retiring" from the Marines and become a blacksmith as he originally intended, but under the condition that he tempers and crafts his weapons upon request. According to Kaisei, the fruit is one of the "weaker ones" in his collection.

Appearance
"So, from what you're saying, I can forge creations anytime I feel like without the need of a workshop? Isn't that a bit too convenient?" "It depends on how it's used, actually. But in your case, you shouldn't worry about it." "If you say so. If I become your personal walking smelting workshop in exchange for achieving my dreams, so be it. Plus, I'm getting a Devil Fruit, rather hard to come by. Tasty too, by the looks of it."

- Kaisei and Kyzer's conversation about the Devil Fruit.

Due to being one of the "weaker" Devil Fruits, the Gutsu Gutsu no Mi has rather a plain appearance in comparison with other ones Kaisei's collected over the years; though still having the standard designs of a normal Devil Fruit, it has a somewhat strange shape. The Gutsu Gutsu no Mi is shaped like a combination of a and a, having dark red skin etched with liquid-flame like designs — pointing to its capabilities. It's quite large, being bigger than the palms of a person's hands, and slightly heavier than a watermelon. When Kyzer consumed the fruit, he cooked it as if it was a normal yam — over a makeshift oven fire, which seemed to be the correct method, as it was overflowing with juices when he bit into it. He notes that it's quite flavorful, possessing a sweet and tangy taste that leaves one begging for more. Only when he was going to start smithing that he felt the fruit's effect take place; since then, he used its powers to help him smith — coming up with various creations, ranging from weapons to accessories, and at times, even figurines and statues. The power of the Devil Fruit made him one of the best artists in, and when used in battle against those that would try to steal his works, it earned him his current epithet.

After a few years serving the World Government, he officially established his complete independence, seeing the fundamental errors in the world as a whole.

Both a and one of the Underworld Emperors, he's known to use his findings to establish connections with those in various fields, all of whom formed the basis of his "crew". His actions over the past few years gave him the epithets, "Silver Noble Traitor" (銀貴賊, Ginkizoku) and the "Darkness of the World Government" (世界政府の闇, Sekai Seifu no Yami) — the latter of which deals with his methods being the same ones used by the World Government itself, thus exposing his true nature.

After stealing the Kiki Kiki no Mi from his archenemy — Kaisei Ōga, purported as one of the most dangerous Devil Fruits in existence, and eventually mastering its vast destructive potential, he's known as a "God of Destruction — annihilating anything he deems an obstacle.

Due to its indiscriminate nature, it's almost held in the same regard as the — the most destructive Devil Fruit in existence. Very few Devil Fruits, weapons, and such are capable of standing against its might, with the Shini Shini no Mi — its supposed "twin", being among them.

It's current, and probably only known user is Ares D. Soma — one of the Four Gospels of the Xros Pirates, and Kaisei's archenemy; the latter notes that having this specific fruit fall into Ares' hands has been one of his biggest failures and it became one of his end goals, with the former stating that such a feat is impossible for unknown reasons. Due to mastering the fruit in its entirety, Ares aptly labels himself as a God of Destruction (破壊神, Hakaishin) — rightfully boasting that he's capable of annihilating anything he comes across.

Appearance
"Such a majestic fruit, isn't it? They say the most beautiful things tend to take the ugliest forms; I guess that's the case for this Devil Fruit. Most people wouldn't eat this fruit because of appearance alone, but I'm not one of them. I will wholeheartedly accept the power, regardless of how it looks. You don't mind, do you? Of course, you don't. Not like you could stop me in the first place, Mr. Devil Fruit Hunter." "You bastard! I swear you won't have that fruit for long! I will get it back!"

- Ares taunting Kaisei about the fruit he was unable to obtain.

According to both Kaisei and what's recorded in the  (悪魔の実図鑑, Akuma no Mi Zukan?), the Kiki Kiki no Mi is incredibly dangerous for a variety of reasons — some of which are linked to its Devil Fruit form; appearance as an engrossed pale yellow-green, its covered in various spines, noted to be as sharp as needles — capable of puncturing and sticking on most surfaces, and bumps — hard as rocks and very blunt. This makes it very hard to handle the fruit, much less consume it. Like other Devil Fruit, it has various markings etched into the surface, which appear as gaseous clouds; when Kaisei and Ares laid eyes on the fruit, they noted to be very large. The only way of handling this deadly fruit is by its thin stringlike stem, which seems to be rather fragile in comparison to a normal Durian; this only adds to the difficulty of handling said fruit.

Labeled as the "Devil Fruit of Annihilation" (悪魔の実の死滅, Akuma no Mi no Shimetsu), it possesses two important qualities that make it almost impossible to find, let alone claim; first off, the stench produced by this fruit is extremely powerful — enough to disable stronger creatures who come near it, and possibly numb one's sense of smell from prolonged exposure. This is due to its powers amplifying the olfactory qualities of a normal Durian to such heights, acting as one of its many defense mechanisms. Both Kaisei and Ares had their unique methods of storing the fruits on their person, thus this didn't serve a problem to either of them. Secondly, like nearly all high-level Devil Fruits, it's grown in the most hazardous environments; when Kaisei found the fruit before it was stolen from him by Ares, it was growing a thick jungle located near the end of the Red Line — harboring powerful and carnivorous fauna and flora alike, including some possessing remnants of unknown bacteria and poisons, some powerful enough to take down a captain-level fighter, and others capable of surviving in similarly harsh conditions without any effect on their biology. Even he had difficulty thriving in that area, despite his years of training and combat experience in other harsh areas to a similar degree; Ares theorized that the fruit itself might have caused the area which it was growing in to become harsher than normal, though never truly confirmed.

Due to its physiology, it's unknown how this fruit was eaten; apparently, since Ares is its current user — he must've found a way for safe consumption while being granted access to said fruit's full capabilities, seen in his re-encounter with Kaisei sometime after. He hints that he had to go through a "breaking and extracting" process, though he was rather vague — wanting to keep the method to himself.

Trivia

 * This article is a revamp of the original that the author posted when he first joined the site.
