Dante D. Korag

Tiger D Korag (タイガー D コラグ Taigā D koragu): Who is commonly known as the Golden Tiger is a vicious Pirate who is the Captain of the Fire Rocker Pirates and one of the Four great Yonko's the most notorious and powerful pirates to have ever sailed the sea. He is well known throughout the world as the Fire Rocker for his relentless attacks against both Pirates and Marines alike sinking their ships one after the other all by himself enjoying everymoment of it. He is also well known because of his hotheaded ambition to challenge the world and continually attacks both the World Government and the Marines for the thrill of the challenge by attacking heavy fortified landmarks ruled by them throughout the Grand Line and burning their flags and the entire islands to the ground.

Korag is the father of Tiger D Alec, whom he charishes as his one and only treasure. Having left him on Saver Island in the South Blue nearly broke his heart and hoped he would be alright where he was. The story of what drove him to that island in the first place and why he left is a complete mystery.

Having sailed on the ocean blue for several decades Korag has managed to build up his pirate crew the Fire Rocker Pirates with unique and powerful members from all over the globe and has wreaked havoc all over both halfs of the Grand Line. Destroying Marine vessels, burning down Government landmarks and attacking Pirate Crews increasing his Grand Fleet ever so greater. The amount of destruction he leaves in his wake is so massive that he was given an incredible large bountie of ???,???,???,???

Appearance
Korag is a muscular, tan-skinned older man with spiky blonde hair and a long blonde mustache, which were black in his younger years. He seems to have had a taste for tropical designs, as he is shown wearing such clothing both in his younger years and as an old man most likely due to his many travels to different islands and his love for adventure. Although he changes outfits very often his most favorable outfit is his Captain uniform which him being shirtless with a dark purple coat on that goes down all the way to his ankles which used to be a high ranking Marine coat stolen from and modified to suit his liking. On the shoulders are red colored shoulder pads with yellow streams hanging off of it. He also has the yellow streams hanging off of the sleeves of his coat, but much longer than the ones on his shoulders. He also wears dark purple pants and black shoes to match his outfit

Personality
Korag shares the same carefree and fearless behavior as his son Tiger D Alec. He lives by his own set of rules and enjoys every moment in life with laughter and celebration. He is always looking to have a good time no matter where he goes or what he's doing, he'll do it with a big grin on his face that always follows with a huge laugh. Because of this need for enjoyment Korag doesn't fear anything, instead he'll face the danger with a brave face and a big smile of excitement on his face. He even states that the reason he became a powerful pirate and takes on both the World Government and the Marines is for the thrill of the challenge. He also feels this way during a battle as well who enjoys every moment of it and will throw blow for blow with a look of excitement as he fights. Korag also doesn't care much about what other people think and will continue to do things his own way however he wishes such as when his crew believes it's a bad idea to attempt a dangerous stunt only to him ignore their comments and attempt it anyways. There is nothing in the world that Korag isn't afraid of and brave the challenge no matter what, however despite that, Korag fears the name of a certain Marine officer and will pack up his supplies and run away from the spot at the mere sight of this Marine officer. No ones knows why Korag fears this Marine officer or even what his connection is to them except for his crew who can't help but laugh at his fear over it

He also shares his sons Alec's lack of intelligence. Although Korag does prove to be much more intelligent than Alec is he does show to get confused from time to time about complicated events or situations and can easily be impressed by other peoples actions. Despite his old age Korag does appear to behave like a child around people who he is close to, whenever he sees something that looks fun to him, he asks his first mate if they should give it a try to which he responds no and says he should act more mature only to have Korag respond with whining and complaining. Despite the lack of intelligence he shows everyone Korag proves to be very intellectual such as studying the Marines movements in order to predict their plans and come up with a counter strategy. He also knows when the Marines are keeping track of him and just how many there are as well. He also pays attention to other Yonkos actions and know if he should intervene or not and know when and how to do so. In a battle of the crew vs crew he is able to come up with clever strategies to help give him the upper edge of the battle. Korag may often have a good time and act childish but when the situation calls for it, he will get serious when he needs to.

Korag never holds a grudge or takes his revenge on anyone. He is always seen with a welcoming smile whether their friends or foes and might often ask them if they would like to join his parties. Even against old enemies such as the numerous Marines, he encountered and tried killed him, he will greet them with a welcoming smile, however, despite this Korag will get angry and lose his cool when someone he cares for are severely injured or worse by someone and will most likely take his anger out on them but once the fighting is over even if the attacker is alive or not he will forgive them for what they have done and let the whole thing blow over his head afterwards. Many people believe his destructive actions are because he is a heartless pirate who cares little about human life when in actuality, while Korag is attacking most of other pirate ships and marine bases for the thrill of the challenge he does have his reasons for attacking some of those ships and bases to which remains a mystery so he often doesn't go around attacking aimlessly. Despite his relentless attacks against his enemy's Korag is against the idea of others participating in a pointless war and will step in when he believes it has gone too far. Even before Korag became a Yonko he would always travel to certain island who are dealing with a major crisis such as pirate invasions every so often and would take out those pirates and would claim the islands as under his protection. He proves to have a soft spot for defenseless islands and declare them as his territory and under his protection and would promise to protect them. No one knows why he cares so much about defenseless islands, though many have their theories, but they do know that he lives up to his promises and protects the islands as he said he would.

Just like his son Alec, Korag seems to be quite distant towards personal matters involving himself, such as his past who he refuses to tell even if someone asks and would just laugh it off and dodge the question. Though his personal past is connected to his sons Alec's and will be revealed once Alec reveals what he is hiding.

Korag is looked up to by members of his own crew and everyone he commands in his entire fleet. They look up to him as a strong and fearless leader who faces the dangers. They are willing to follow him to the death if they must and go so far as to take a hit for him despite how he would feel about it. They also see him as a man who cares deeply about his men and is even willing to change course for even one of his crew mate's needs. Korag admires those who are willing to stand up to powerful people no matter how small they are and go out of his way to protect them despite if they were standing up to him specifically. He personally thinks he is bad at diplomacy, but will often go for it anyways to try and talk his way out of a fight but wouldn't be surprised if it failed. Often times he does come up with convincing reasons and most his diplomacy works better than he thought it would.

Much like his son Alec Korag has a large appetite and would eat almost all the food left on the ship which the crew mates try to avoid and try to stop him from eating too much. The reason he throws parties all the time is so he can chow down on his food. He also has a huge addiction to booze and can get seriously drunk that he will pass out from drinking too much, however, if danger were to happen while he is drunk and someone he cares for is in serious danger he can get passed it and protect his comrade as if he was sober but then pass out again once the fighting is over.

Even with all of his personalities the one most commonly seen above all else is his thirst for adventure. Korag loves the thrill of adventure so much that he was willing to leave his son behind on Saver Island to continue his adventures as a pirate. Despite the many things that interests him Korag is not interested in obtaining the legendary One Piece and becoming King of the Pirates. Such things don't interest him at the very least saying he doesn't wish to rule over anyone or anything all he wants is the thrill of adventure.

Fire Rocket Pirates
While only a few of Korags crew have been named, he seems to generally get along with them all, and they look up to him with respect as their captain. Korag looks out for the well-being of the entire crew, making sure none of them are seriously injured or hurt. He doesn't care much about what other people think of him and his crew mates and believes their lives are more important than their pride and honor towards him.

First Mate
Korag appears to have a great friendship between him and his crews First Mate, although his name and appearance remains a mystery they appear to be very close. Close enough for Korag to ask him if he would like to join him to go down a large water slide he sees for the fun of it even though the First Mate would respond with a gloomy look and a no which makes people think they're not that close as friends, however its obvious the First Mate puts his faith in his captain and admires him greatly

Tiger D Alec
Korag cares deeply about his son Tiger D Alec which he cherishes and loves him deeply and considers him to be his greatest treasure in the world. Though their direct relationship is unknown, Korag praises and cheers for his son for his successful adventures he made and is proud of him for taking the path of piracy in fact he's so proud that he often shed river of tears while cheering for him.

Unnamed Marine Captain
The only person that Korag fears out of all the adventures and battles he went through is a certain Marine Captain. No ones knows who this certain Marine Captain is or what they might look like. Korag is so afraid of the Marine Captain that just the knowledge of being near them is enough to send him running and his crew mates can't help but laugh at his fear towards that person. No ones his conection towards that person or why he's affraid of them but that Marine Captain is the one and only person he refuses fight under any cercomstances.

Abilities and Powers
Korag is a notorious pirate to have ever sailed the seas. Well known for all of the rampages and destruction he leaves in his wake. His wild and ambitious need to challenge the world and his relentless attacks against enemy pirates and marines has earned him the nickname the Wild Wrecker. His overwhelming power is so great that only a handful of people can match his level of power. (Namely the other Yonko, the 3 Admirals and Fleet Admiral and the War Lords along with other strong pirates.)

He earned his title as one of the Yonko four of the most formidable pirates that rule the second half of the Grand Line the New World. This reputation alone is enough to make a declaration of several islands he comes across part of his territory to keep them from pirate raids and slave traders from attacking the islands any further. He even has islands that were once the homes of many of his crew mates and many others that were the homes to many New World Pirates who agreed to join his Grand Fleet. This makes Korag a far more effective treaty than the World Governments sign treaty 250 years. He is even prepared to to claim Fishman Island under his protection if the Yonko currently protecting it were to perish.

Korag serves as the Captain of the Fire Rocker Pirates, directly controlling a large pirate fleet of over 3000 pirate crews and 25 Pirate Captains that he and his pirate crew conquered. After being defeated at the hands of him and his crew, they all pledge their loyalty to Korag and now they're all willing to do whatever Korag wishes them to do, even willing to risk their lives for him.

Korag's powers are so vast that very few people dared to challenge him or his crew, but when someone does whether they're big names or rookie pirates Korag can't help but acknowledge them for their bravery and laugh about it. Although the true extent of Korags power has yet to have been revealed, he is fully capable of sinking an entire Marine Battleship and several Pirate Ships all by himself and attack several heavy fortified Marine and Government bases and leave with the entire island burning to the ground holding a pole with a Marine or Government flag burning as well.

Korag's power is equal to the might of any other Yonko for if he had to fight any of them his power is enough to make not only heavens shake in terror, but the entire world as well causing the clouds and the seas to split in half in their clash of power. He has plenty of strength and speed at his disposal capable of even blocking a powerful attack from a captain using only one finger. His strength is even stronger than any Giants and can take him down with his bare hands by punching each of the their attacks as his way of blocking them and then jumping towards their heads and aiming for a direct punch to the forehead where the force of his punch is enough to knock them out with no trouble. He can catch a swing of an ax or sword with one and break it without even trying. He is even capable of extinguishing an entire land of fire with a mere clap of his hands, sending a powerful wind current to extinguish the flames.

Besides his formidable power, Korag has proven to be an incredibly skilled tactical strategist. Able to predict the Marines movements to know what they're up to and come up with a full counter measure. He is even able to come up with various strategies that allows him and his crew to emerge from danger safely. Korag is so brilliant that he is capable of studying his opponents to know what they will do in the future. Much to everyones surprise that he is so brilliant considering his childish behavior he always shows which makes him scream back in anger telling them to shut up.

Physical Abilities
Korag possesses an overwhelming amount of strength and speed being one of the most powerful fighters alive, allowing him to defeat and destroy numerous of Pirate and Marine ships all by himself and with only his bare hands.

Korag possesses an incredibly high amount of physical strength, able to fight off numerous attacks with just his bare hands and punches and deliver crushing blows. His strength allows him to deliver a smashing blow capable of splitting an entire ship in half with one punch. The incredible force of his strength is so powerful that he doesn't have to attack with even half of his strength to send a person flying through the air and crash into a wall far away from where they once was. He even able to catch and throw heavily iron cannon balls as if they were softballs but thrown much faster than any cannon can fire. He is even capable of unleashing a barrage of punches as blinding speed with each punch delivering a crushing blow again and again until he is either exhausted or believes his opponent has had enough. Once he uses his barrage attack, the ground he and his opponent are standing on will eventually give in and break apart into a creator and get bigger and bigger each time he continues his barrage of punches.

Along with his overwhelming strength Korag possesses blind fast speed as well. Allowing him to vanish and reappear in mere seconds, similar to the Shave technique but just as fast. This allows him to perform blind fast attacks before his opponents can even realize what happened. He is also able to travel a large distance or close an incredible large gap in seconds because of his speed. He also possesses incredible stealth abilities as well as allowing him to sneak up on someone without them realizing even if they happen to have incredible senses he is able to sneak passed them and deliver a surprise attack.

His physical resistance and pain tolerance is amazing, he is able to keep fighting despite the number of life-threatening injuries he sustained in battle. This proves that Korag possesses incredible amounts of stamina and endurance. No matter how much damage he takes throughout the battle, Korag will never give up and will keep fighting with a look of, enjoyment on his face and will continue to press forward. Even in a weakened state Korag is still able to match the powers of an admiral through his sheer force of will which demonstrates how powerful his determination is.

Fighting Style
Korags fighting style consist of adept hand-to-hand combat, supplemented with his physical prowess and the powers of his Haki. Such skills allow him to hold his own against combat specialist, however he is capable of holding own against just about any fighter. Much like his son Alec his fighting style is mostly improvised, with his plans changing with each opponent he faces. He uses his overwhelming speed and strength very often in his combats allowing him to perform devastating attacks with blinding fast speed. His main fighting style is mostly straight up attacks and keeping his enemies guessing.

Korag uses his Haki powers very often in a fight so it is unclear if he is using them to gain the upper edge or if he's actually using his own skills and powers. Either way, his power is not to be underestimated. When Korag fights he relies heavily on his instincts when in a battle, doing what he thinks is the best way to beat his opponents even though he doesn't think of the circumstances that happen by doing that which could lead to disaster for both him and his opponents depending on the circumstances.

Although Korag relies way more on his physical combat in a fight, he does depend on his weapon as well. Coating it with his Armament Haki to deliver greater crushing power with more invulnerability to it as well. Apparently he doesn't use his weapon for any special occasions he'll use his sword whenever he feels like at any point and time either in the beginning of the fight or during it.

Attack List

 * Smashing Meteor: Korag attacks his opponent with a drop punch, smashing his opponent to the ground delivering a powerfully crushing blow. The force of the impact is enough to shatter a battle ship or create a massive crator the size of almost an entire island.
 * Demolision Barrage: Korag smashes his opponents with a repeated barrage of his powerful punches all being thrown at blinding fast speed. Despite how fast the punches are each punch directly aiming at specific points on the body. As the punches keep smashing onto the opponent the force of the impacts keep chipping away at the ground until it eventually give in and breaks apart into a large creator that grows larger and larger as the barrage continues until he thinks they had enough.
 * Fatherly Love Tap: Korag smacks his opponent with a light and wimpy punch on their head while coat the fist with Armament Haki. The force it deals is strong enough to send them smashing into the ground thus cracking it a bit leaving a swollen bump on their head. He only uses this on people he cares for such as his son Tiger D Alec and claims that no amount of Devil Fruit powers can protect him from a tap of love (Thus keeping the whole Haki powers a mystery to the Bandit Pirates).

Weapons
Korag often weilds a sword in combat. His sword is a large saber with a single edge blade and a large hand guard. Korag doesn't carry his sword anywhere, instead he has one of his crew members carry it for him until he eventually needs it. The steel of the blade was carved by a super strong steel found only on a specific island allowing it to cause greater amount of damage and last much longer then any normal sword.

Korag uses his sword completely at random times in a fight whether its in the beginning of the fight or sometime during the fight for no exact reason. When he does fight with it though he only coats it with Armament Haki against worthy opponents to give it even greater power.

When he swings his sword around with the amount of strength he possesses creates a slash wave at the target cutting anything in its path in half. Its power is capable of slicing a battle ship in half along with the water with a massive scar the slash wave leaves behind.

Haki
Korag can utilize and has shown mastery over two of the three types of Haki. Being one of the four Yonko his level of Haki is far greater then any normal Haki levels

Observation Haki
During his many decades out at sea Korag has developed and mastered this type of Haki which allows him to sense the presence of others near by and see them from an incredibly far distance. Allowing him to foresee incoming Marine ships or enemy attacks before they can even get in view so that he can get ready for battle before they can even get close. He is able to see the specific aura around their body. He is also able to memorize the auras he sees and know exactly who they belong to

He can also use this type of Haki to tell what an opponent intends to do shortly before they can make it. Allowing him enough time to easily dodge it or counter attack before they can attack. He is able to predict everyone of their next moves without trouble even though most aren't ambient murderers. Even when he's passed out drunk from drinking too much booze he is still able to easily predict an intended killers attacks and avoid it as if he was casually rolling over in his sleep and then after awhile of joking around with them he would smack them away while still in his sleep.

He even has the rare ability to sense what others are feeling in their hearts and emotions. He is able to tell if someone was suffering in their hearts such as the people of a threatened island so that he may calm their suffering by claiming the island under his protection thus making them feel more safe and peaceful. He can even tell of someones harted towards himself and how badly they want to see him dead to which he can't help but laugh at and admire their ambition.

Korag is also able to sense the strength of others as well. He combines this ability with his ability to see from far away to tell if an incredibly strong opponent is coming (which he gets excited by) or if a specific Marine Captain is fastly appraoching to which he drops everything and leaves before they get any closers. He is able to tell that the Marine Captain is approaching by memorizing their level of strength and their specific aura the most.

Armament Haki
Korag has managed to delevop and master this type of Haki as well during his many decades at sea. It allows him to use his spirit life force to create an invisible armor around himself. This allows him to defend against attacks that would otherwise cause him harm, however phycial force can still overcome his defenses. Korag uses this invisible armor as a weapon to strick his opponents by agumenting his own physical attacks to cause even greater damage. He uses this power the most in almost every fight he's apart of to gain the upper edge of the fight. Even with his over whemiling strength his attacks and weapons are enhanced dramatically when his haki hits, his attacks hit immensly harder than regularly. For this reason he only uses this haki when facing a strong opponent to give the weaker ones a slighter fighting chance. When Korag uses his sword he coats it with Armament Haki to deal greater damage then it would normally.

With this type of Haki Korag has the ability to bypass the powers of a Devil Fruit user whose body has been altered by their fruit in any way, touching the "substantial body" beneath whatever protection the fruit provides, such as the case of body-altering Devil Fruits like Logia or Paramecia users. Korag uses this against his son Alec to smack him and give him a swollen head despite his skin being much harder then ordinary thanks to his Devil Fruit powers. Korag can consentrate a heavy coating of this type of Haki to harden parts of his body, turning the area black thus making it more denser and more formidable and giving his attacks greater power. Following the late king of the pirates Monkey D. Luffy Korag names this ability as Hardening. The monsterous strength he possesses with this ability is enough to destroy an entire island with a single punch.
