Akihiko



Akihiko (, Akihiko) known around the seas of the world as the Shining Prince of the Oceans, is a Pirate and Former Marine Lieutenant said to possess an enormous amount of both power and potential that rivals those who currently form the Three Great Powers of the World as we know it and as we live and breathe. After eating the Devil Fruit known as the Akari Akari No Mi, Akihiko became a Light Human, his fruit seemingly a different variation to that which Kuzan, a Marine admiral, had before him. Born as the son to two incredibly powerful Marines both born in the West Blue, Akihiko at a young age, while being attempted to be indoctrinated into adhering to the philosophy of a Marine, watched his parents ransack a small, unknown island, where he witnessed for the first time, terror, all for the sake of Absolute Justice. Being told it would be fun to go on his first real voyage with his parents, Akihiko was surprised to find out that the island they had travelled to was a small village in the West Blue, and in fact it was where he was born. When his parents and their crew finally began to haul in the last bit of the island's treasure back to their boats, Akihiko would watch as his childhood friends scramble desperately to protect an enormous golden necklace given to them by a giant from the greedy hands of the crew members, where they were beaten and greatly injured. At that moment, something snapped within the young boy's mind and he became enveloped with rage, and while he huddled back to the ship, his mind began to completely eradicate what he believed to be the natural philosophy of the Marines, slowly turning it into the desire of freedom for all those that his parents and those like his parents had wronged. Sneaking aboard the cargo deck of the ship Akihiko took a bite of what might just have been the world's worst tasting fruit and took a small canoe to the shores of the Ilusia Kingdom, where he was taken in by Marines of all people.

Struggling to come to terms with what he was doing, Akihiko took his anger out on those he was sent after as a Marine. Quickly rising through the ranks due to sheer power, will, and intellect, Akihiko demonstrated the ultimate power to overcome all forms of opposition placed against him by forces Pirate, Shichibukai and even Rogue Marine, and admirable quality noted by each and every one of his superiors, placing him in the favour of admirals and even lesser Marines alike as he became an inspiring figure to the general public and to the Marines of Ilusia Kingdom. However, Akihiko could not accept that the Marines would dare intrude on his own personal freedom as much as they claimed Pirates did, the few people who actually managed to live freely in the world he lived in. As someone who was forced to be a follower of Justice, Akihiko quickly learned that not even the Marines are as pure as they say, and that Absolute Justice was inherently a system that was flawed, only serving to further solidify his point. Due to his policy of non-direct adherence to Absolute Justice, there had been occurrences in which Akihiko may have teamed up with Pirates to expose or discover secrets within the Marine Organization or the World Government they might have wanted covered up to not let the world know of it, and he capitalized on it. Resigning from the World Government’s service as a Lieutenant, Akihiko turned to a life of piracy, where he would begin the journey that would truly give him his alias.

Appearance
An incredibly dashing young man, Akihiko, as a former Lieutenant of the Marine Organization has caused many, both male and female to swoon after him at first glance, something the young man attributes to his infallible charisma. With glossy hair that arranges itself messily over the top of his head in such a manner that it fades away from cinnamon brown to a deep, alluring chocolate brown covering his right eye which is in turn covered in an eyepatch and one that repeats itself in both his eyelashes and eyebrows, only the top of Akihiko’s head is considered attractively already. However, when combining that with his golden eyes, distinct jaw bones and a scar across his face that seems to tell a story of past adventures, Akihiko himself considers his appearance to be one worthy of the title of a full blown Prince.

Enveloping his lean, muscular figure, is a black suit outlined with a golden coloured, metallic-esque fabric in a similar manner to the metallic gold of his eyes, as well as a cape with a red interior which blends back into the black colouration of most of his external appearance. With a small Jolly Roger on the upper right side of his chest, Akihiko has truly broken away from the Marines, and for several good reasons at that.

Abilities and Powers
Over the years, Akihiko has grown tremendously in power, from being just the son of two Marines, to possessing the power of a Marine Lieutenant sent after beings as powerful as Shichibunkai and Supernovas on several occasions, to becoming the absolute captain of an incredibly grand Pirate Fleet known as the Brilliant Royal Fleet, a Fleet known for causing the World Government much harm, as it has utilized several of the secrets the Marines keep hidden from the general public to wreck havoc on the Marines themselves.
