Edward D. Sasaki

Jigen Sasaki is a member of the Oni Tribe, and the First Mate of the Mecha Pirates. He is an extremely gifted cook and a proficient mechanical engineer.

Three years ago, he was captured by a very powerful slave trader, that sold him to a secret Government facility in order to be subjected to various experiments. He would remain imprisoned and experimented upon until his best friend, Takeshi Rogers, found the facility, destroyed it and released Sasaki.

It was because of this that Sasaki was forced to eat an ACE, an artificial Logia Devil Fruit, in order for the researchers to study its effects. He also received various enhancements to his already strong Oni physiology.

He was sold for 50,000,000. After his escape from the Government facility, he was granted a 70,000,000 bounty for having escaped and because of having consumed the artifical Logia.

Devil Fruit
Sasaki was forced to consume one of the rare artificial logia devil fruits, known as an ACE. He ate the Raiton no Ēsu, a man-made variant of the, giving Sasaki the ability to become and control the element of lightning. Sasaki endured a painful and life threatening procedure after he consumed it, not only because of the fruit's dangerous assimilation process, but also because of the experiments he became subject to during and after eating the fruit.

After he assimilated his powers, Sasaki became capable of creating and shooting powerful blasts of lightning of varying voltage. Even if its an artificial variant, the Raiton no Ēsu's power and strength is by no means a weaker version of the.
