"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 samurai and mercenary hailing from the  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 — 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.

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 let 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. 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". 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.

Equipment
Intetsukijin (陰鉄鬼神, lit. "Shadow Iron Demonic Psyche"): Kaisei's main signature weapon and one of the Wano 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"): Some time after departing from his home in the Wano 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.

Amenotejikara (天手力, lit. "Heavenly Hand Power"): An ancient relic of the Wano Country, Kaisei received these beads from a government official he worked under some time before his departure; 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 & 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. 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. <!---

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 wielder, 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.

Quotes

 * "I realize that my path is paved with bloodshed. In order for true peace to emerge in these chaotic times, many sacrifices are necessary. That's why I took up my blade and consumed the Shini-Shini Fruit. There was never a chance to turn back the moment I was born into this world. All I can do now is move forward and hope that my dreams can come to fruition."
 * (To a Pirate Captain) "You really think I would bend over backwards and submit like a coward because you say so? Heh, if you thought so for even a second, then you need a serious reality check. .....Scratch that. Since you made such a bold declaration to me, you must think you're stronger. You're right about one thing though; it is a "dog eats dog" world. In this case, I'll show you who the top dog is!"
 * "You think you can decide who lives or dies, with that meager excuse you call an influence? Please. Only the truly powerful can make such decisions. The only thing you can decide is your time of death at my hands. It's kind of my profession and its in the title."
 * (To an Evil Devil Fruit User) "It seems like you don't know how to use your powers correctly. I might as well take it off your hands. Don't worry though, I'll make sure it's properly used and goes to a worthy cause."
 * "You know, these days I'm always getting shit for being smaller and supposedly younger than others. Jokes on them, it just means I'll outlive them. 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. To be young means to be at the height of one's power. So, by their logic, they're recognizing that I'm merely stronger. And anyways, who likes being old?"
 * "I know what you're thinking: "Oh, they're gray so they can't be dangerous! Gray's a stupid and depressing color!" Well two things: one, you're a stupid and depressing color and gray just fucked you up!"
 * (To various people he's met over a long period) "All losses in this world are due to a lack of ability. If you want to curse something, curse your own weakness."
 * (A younger Kaisei's inner monologue) "The world is just a shit hole because everything is so well mixed together, you can't even tell the difference between good and evil. 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."
 * (Reciting his deceased master's teachings) "Not everything can be resolved with brute force and skill. If one takes a second look, then maybe one can see there's a way around as well."
 * (To a friend) "Sometimes you're confronted with the ugly parts of yourself that you don't want to see, but many things in life can tell you a lot about the things you didn't notice about yourself when you're just trying to get through somehow. I'm a perfect example because either in battle or when I'm trying to save a life, the worst sides of myself come out; eventually, through some kind of intervention, I'm given a more positive perspective and encourages me to see my goals through to the end."
