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 potential that rivals those who currently form the Three Great Powers of the World as we know it. After eating the Devil Fruit known as the Koshi Koshi No Mi, Akihiko became a Light Human, his fruit seemingly a different variation to that which Kizaru (Borsalino), 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 traveled to was naught but a small portion of a Kingdom in the West Blue, and in fact it was where he was born, the Kingdom of Bagnara on a yet unknown island. 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, (as well as, other factors) Akihiko demonstrated the ultimate power to overcome all forms of opposition placed against him by forces Pirate 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. This ability to place himself so far out into the world of the Marines had many of his superiors believe that they could make a fine Marine out of him as they did his parents, following the Headquarters orders with no second thoughts and even enjoying vile acts of cruelty in the name of justice, but they were completely wrong.

As a man, who, since he was a yong boy had his views on an imposed justice from a monopolistic worldwide government absolutely shattered, Akihiko could not accept that the Marines would dare intrude on his own personal freedom and the personal freedoms of others 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 to grant him leverage to actually leave the Marine Organization. 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. While yet unknown why Akihiko has not declared a last name as of yet, some believe it is because he has an important heritage. The truth is, maybe, but Akihiko couldn't care less even if he had one. Easily having the ire of the Marine Organization for first quitting the Marines after having learned so much about the Marines, and then for putting together an entire fleet, Akihiko is a figure that many fear as a result.

Appearance
Hailing from the Bagnara Kingdom, a Kingdom known for consisting of 365 islands all bounded together by a larger sea known as the Osimiri (which is in fact simply the flow of the oceans throughout the Kingdom), the man who would soon call himself the Shining Prince of the Oceans has lived a life where his entire being was nourished and based on the blessings of the oceans, his appearance a derivative of healthy sea foods and the land animals grown on a larger scale by tourists. In a world where they lived so close to the sea on a regular basis to the point where the Bagnara Kingdom was said to be in constant good relations with Fishmen by merely existing, and by originally hailing from an island which was said to possess such a potent electromagnetic field that it caused subtle electrolytic properties to go throughout the water to the point that the seawater might no longer be considered sea in that area, Akihiko has developed a natural resistance to water in general due to living in the Kingdom. With retractable fins on certain parts of his body brought about by adaptations to their environment as well as ancient interbreeding with Fishmen, Akihiko does have parts of his body that may seem quite a bit inhuman, and despite his blood being diluted, the people of the Bagnara Kingdom still kept important traits and characteristics through natural selection.

Additionally, while over time, the people of Bagnara who constantly ate a healthier diet, were more active, as well as genetically superior to most humans grew more attractive/alluring as a result, Akihiko himself is perhaps not even included in just that selection, as his "handsomeness" has seemed to surpass that. 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. To finish it off, a part of his hair that is usually hidden under his mess of hair, breaks into a vibrant red near the ends without ever dying it, said to be a remnant of a Fishman gene with a red hair allele still stuck in his Lineage Factor. 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. With his good looks gaining him praise from many, both female, and male, the latter much to his dismay, it's usually hard for some persons to go against him to begin with.

But perhaps, for a man considering himself to be as dashing as he does believe himself to be, perhaps he requires a bit more explanation as to why he is considered that handsome. Drake's skin is naturally quite smooth, and shimmers of bronzed condition and a metallic glow; his eyes compared to the very sun his power makes him into, those who receive a glance from his eyes, more specifically Amaya for the first time relaying it to a bystander, claim that it is "the same as "the sun shining directly at you, several meters from your very face, relentlessly."

Formerly, however, Akihiko, as a Marine Lieutenant, forced himself to wear a Marine uniform, and it looked as crazed as wearing it made him, having a complete tear at the back where the symbol for Absolute Justice should be, as well as multiple cuts and tears all over, and while that may have revealed some part of his physique that he may keep covered nowadays, that had absolutely no effect on the Akihiko of the past, despite the swooning he might have heard everytime he was deployed.

Personality
Between his good looks and incredible intellect, or rather, knowledge, Akihiko is quite the charismatic individual, with the words leaving his mouth often inspiring those around him to believe and put their faith in him for inexplicable reasons at times, and is perhpas the reason why the original three members of his crew even got together in the first place. An eloquent speaker of human language when need be, Akihiko has demonstrated an amazing ability to motivate his allies and similarly demoralize his opponents using the power of his silver tongue, having slaves forced to fight him realizing just how terrible their predicament is and the fact that they are fighting against someone who is perhaps their one shot at freedom, and henchmen realizing that they are naught but pawns to the one they serve.

However, silver, is not gold, and as a result, even Akihiko's silver tongue may fail before a golden will or an incredible amount of loyalty. However, as the self-proclaimed Shining Prince of the Oceans, Akihiko possesses far more than silver attributes, having a similarly golden mind, capable of thinking quite a bit of brilliant thoughts pretty much every second, seemingly predicting his opponent's next move completely on reflex, as well as coming up with battle plans for pretty much anything he can conceive, from overtaking Marine bases to steal resources and gain a foothold on the seas in the general area near him, as well as erase or subvert Marine presence in the area in an attempt to only further support freedom of ideas, actions and behaviours for all. In fact, Akihiko has took many younger aspiring pirates into his ranks as his apprentices, many who grow up to be his allies and accomplishes in battle, all wanting to see his way of thinking in action, as well as his methods of managing large resources. With that being a move considered reminiscent of the Revolutionaries, it is obvious that Akihiro has more than one eye watching him at all times, especially since he possesses the knowledge of an incredibly studious Marine Lieutenant, who even knows the great lengths to which the World Government screws over itself simply to keep the World Nobles in power at all times.

As a man not politically invulnerable as they all are, Akihiko feels incredibly emboldened by simply being a pirate, and having allies who believe as such in him and in similar goals inspires him in turn even further, as he is proud to see people pursue freedom in their own way, though this is not to say he will not impose his own freedom on them, as that is also his freedom. Akihiko's crew has even noticed on several occasions that the cold, calculating figure that Akihiro becomes during combat is nothing like the warmth he is capable of showing his crew should something be wrong, though he will absolutely not take traitors, and if one would even dare attempt to leave the crew without informing him, it is enough to attain Akihiro's ire. This is such because Akihiro, in believing that he has forced no one onto his crew, should have only crewmates assured that they can accomplish their dreams as a part of this crew altogether, as that is what it means to be a part of his crew to him, and is perhaps one of the few rules he has to his crew.

While usually a man who thinks about crushing all opposition to him and his grand fleet, Akihiko has been able to show on rare occasions mercy to Marines who prove themselves to have a desire for freedom deep down inside, and at times even jokingly offers them a place aboard his ship. However, apart from his strategic mind, silver tongue, and occasional compassion, Akihiko has displayed his leadership skills in other ways, creating small teams and squads among his crew to maximize the efficiency of each deployment of every individual crew member he has, and additionally, is willing to listen to any and all problems they may face, helping them as a friend, and those younger as him as their father figure. This has made Akihiko already quite a rolemodel as a Pirate as he was as a Marine, and openly shares his dreams and goals with his crewmates as he encourages them to do with him. With the vast amount of occupations available to a fleet as expansive as Akihiko's, the young man is happy to invite anyone who wishes to be a part of his Royal Entourage aboard once they have passed his tests, his most important being the test of loyalty, which is done at his own discretion and to any individual crew member who has not yet passed the test, allowing him to weed out potential enemies and infilitrators, apart from his uncanny ability to judge character.

The combination of all of these traits make Akihiko a truly beloved captain, but to an extent, Akihiko is in actuality, vengeful, though this has been quelled after forcing those who wished to seek vengeance upon into hiding, knowing that he will eventually meet them again, despite knowing where they are at the moment, his other dreams taking precedence over his will for revenge, as much as he wishes to be an inspiration for those on his crew. With his crew seemingly having a policy of only attacking those they deem corrupt, which happen to include the Marines, to an extent Shichibukai forces, and even at times rogue Marines and Pirates, Akihiko, and by his extension his crew, are always willing to lend a helping hand to any town they might stop by unless they are already on a mission to begin with, while staying cautious of the area to begin with.

Having complete faith in his crew, Akihiko has expressed his incredible determination and willpower on several occasions, with such a willpower allowing him to accomplish amazing feats, such as gaining the valiance to combat a vast amount of Haki wielders from the New World on his lonesome to save a single crewmember knowing full well he was a Logia, continuing to fight for an extended period of time after being severely injured, as well as even go up against persons easily more powerful than he was at the time for the sake of his dreams, his crew, and his crew's dreams, as they all are given sustenance and power by his own will and determination that he can succeed no matter the odds. With his mind and power, as well as the collective talents of everyone else in his fleet, Akihiko may be considered slightly arrogant, though this is in fact merely his confidence in the abilities of each and every person his senses and tests tell him he can call a Nakama. Disillusioned by the World Government at a young age, this place is the only place Akihiko can call home, his fleet, his family. It should be noted that Akihiko often plans for multiple outcomes, but at times, his strategies become quite adaptive, based on the capabilities and sub-commanders in each respective ship's crew.

On a more personal level, Akihiko's appearance and the high regard it is held in at all times grants the young man an incredible capability for attracting those around him, having the type of appearance that is usually considered in traditional tropes both incredibly handsome and dreamy and that usually has females depicted with hearts in their eyes. However, this observation by Akihiko has resulted in, quite a hidden personality trait, Akihiko can be quite, both flirtatious and promiscuous, interacting with some females in a playful manner. This flirtatious nature usually seems to run completely contrary to everything else people know about him, and as a result, this personality trait, while not rare, is perhaps simply uncommonly expressed, as for example, he is not perverted and as a result does not have an inability to resist beautiful women, he simply may attempt to make a move on a woman sufficiently beautiful that is not a direct threat to him or his crew. As for being promiscuous, it simply means that he does this with several women simultaneously, but it is not known of Akihiko has actually had any serious relationships or taken them back to his bed mainly because of his slight fear of attachments beyond friendship, as love is a thing he has a hard time coming to grips with after shattering the first love he ever actually felt temporarily, parental love. All in all, Akihiko believes his personality, traits and character flaws included, make him worth his self-proclaimed title, and in fact, all of these traits have Akihiko seem like a prime candidate to join the Revolutionaries, though whether or not he is actually interested is up in the air.

Act 1 Scene 1: The Young Lad, Akihiko of Bagnara
' N.B: It should be noted that Akihiko is one of two individuals called "Golden Children", whose stories happen simultaneously and eventually interact. Any hints thrown to the other character is completely intentional. '

Akihiko, was born as the oldest son to two Bagnaran "humans", both powerful Marines by the names of Anri and Kimihiro, who, despite their power and due to the strange politics between Bagnarans and the racist heads of the World Government, or World Nobles who viewed them as abominations of fish and man, never attained that high of a position. As if loving dogs of the World Government, the two would serve and carry out every command of the Marine Headquarters without question and with the utmost of pride for the cause they so utterly believed in, Absolute Justice, the same Justice that Akihiko would grow to absolutely despise, though not from the very start. In fact, from a very young age, the way that his mother and father carried themselves, the grand tales of adventure and splendour that they would tell, the slight peeks of occasional spars between his parents he would actually manage to observe, these things, and a culmination of a few other factors, had inspired the young lad to believe that if there was anything he wanted to become, it was to become a Marine. The Marines appeared to be these crystallized embodiments of justice that no other calling could ever truly attain; imposing what is right on those his childlike mind perceived as the bad guys (Pirates and Rogue Marines). Living in a small, homely village visibly constructed of mainly wood and stone, Akihiko, if he were any other child, would have perhaps spent most of his days playing Hide and Seek, or perhaps some other form of childhood game with his friends amongst the village. However, this was not to be, since as much as he called out for the sea, the sea also called out for him.

The young lad was noted to have a much different childhood from those his age, as while he was allowed to do similar things, Akihiko's studies were incredibly intensive in both his physical and mental aspects, a fact which helped to enable him in cultivating what would become his superior intellect in the present day. As soon as he became of literacy, he began to read all sorts and forms of books to the point that it became almost comically ridiculous how much money his parents actually began to spend on nothing but books. Of course, his parents were not actually there for him, usually being out at sea, but he managed to see them every now and then thanks to their relatively low ranking. Akihiko was even ostracized by children in his street to an extent for his seemingly unhealthy obsession for books at such a young age, for a while atleast, not even taking time off to play with those in the community. While as a child and social animal, he did feel the desire to talk and have friends; his ravenous desire for information was seemingly insatiable. Attaining and devouring literally whatever knowledge he could, Akihiko's knowledge slowly began to spread from the childish blank slate or canvas of an ignorant mind (albeit powerful), to learning about the World Government, the geography of both his Kingdom and the four Blues, and even managed to learn about other islands in his surrounding area in the case that he ever met a tourist. Every morning, Akihiko would get up, and speed-read through an entire volume of books while simultaneously retaining all of the information, or atleast enough to hold decent conversations about the topics with grownups in the Kingdom. While he always felt a strange insight into the situations that grownups he met were going through, as well as how they felt about it, his relatively reserved nature, as well as his only partially developed and therefore lacking social skills only served to discourage him from truly affiliating with others, only noticing their problems and saying nothing about it. Of course, this was no normal ability at all, as this was in fact what those on the sea would refer to as his Observer's Ambition. The young lad had no idea of the strange and mysterious power that he had awakened, coming naturally to him without him even realizing, resulting in him having a charismatic intuition into how to talk to, and how to comfort people when he actually spoke and interacted with others that left many in awe.

It would not be that until he was about to read once more did the young boy notice an elderly, blinded woman attempting to cross the road after reading a book on illnesses and diseases that his ability was quite unique, as while anyone and everyone could walk around to a limited extent in rooms they were ofay with, Akihiko noticed he could fully function in a situation where he had closed his eyes. Always just, assuming that he had left his eyes slightly open all along, or that everybody could have done it, just some better than others, it was only until Akihiko cheerfully held the lady's hand that he realized he considered fundamentally abnormal. That it was possible to not see, to not perceive something. It was unheard of for the young boy who could see and feel everything around him. Taking one hand and blocking his eye to ensure that his atleast that eye became completely blocked, more specifically, his right eye, Akihiko realized that his field of vision was for all intents and purposes, the same. Curious as to the depths of this strange ability, Akihiko covered his eyes with a blindfold and walked around the village. Children just thought of it as the weird kid being weird again walking around blinded, as well as the adults in the village just assuming something to that extent, finding it weird that the kid would just walk around, until they realized that he was coming directly to their location to explain to them. Calling it "martial arts training" when asked, though to be fair, Akihiko was still unaware of what exactly it was, the young lad would go from doorstep to doorstep, talking to random people to get a feel of their personalities before intuitively helping them with whatever their problem might be. A strange phenomena, but an incredible one nonetheless to those watching on, Akihiko began to draw intrigue to himself almost strategically, secretly doing this simply to increase his social skills as well as his prowess with his absolutely unaided vision.

Word of an incredibly young boy who spoke with the knowledge of a professional spread like wildfire throughout his small island, with Akihiro portraying such a degree of innocent humility that he was simply mildly puzzled as to why so many people wanted to talk to him now, (though he had the idea, he wasn't exactly expecting it to make such massive waves). This vast knowledge usually had many people in the neighbourhood asking the young boy for help due to him seemingly being capable of anything he put his mind to, only lacking the experience in the particular fields, and as a result, he slowly grew increasingly popular. Slowly Akihiko would notice that the children that once mocked him ended up coming to visit him and study with him, as Akihiko's rare explosive genius was such that parents hoped that his knowledge might rub off on the children.

As the children studied with Akihiko, Akihiko began to enjoy himself quite a bit more, having an incredible amount of fun studying as the children slowly bonded, his latent charismatic personality drawing the persons his age closer to him as he began to make friends with those he studied with constantly. Moving from the prodiguous, helpful, but lonely shut-in of a child to a cheerful intelligent lad with quite a bit of friends in his community, Akihiko slowly began to make the friends he had not prior, with his vast intellect as well as surprising levels of athleticism making him a chosen pick in many children's games. Children would always ask Akihiko why he blindfolded himself, but Akihiko would simply tell them it was a secret. Playing with quite a few younger children, Akihiko's power would often manifest as he began to slowly become nearly unstoppable in any game related to finding persons, for example, a game known as the Join the Bunch game, quite unpopular in most areas, but different from Hide and Seek. However, Akihiko affiliated himself most with the children, the sons and daughters of poverty, four children who in his travels around the village he found in an alley he had never quite detected when actually using his eyes to see, but felt strong emanations of at bare minimum, sadness from the particular alley. The young boy, upon realizing they were beggars, slowly began to invite them over to the small house that he had, letting them bathe and eat with him, even sleep in the beds in his house. In two weeks, one could hardly tell that the children were ever poor, Akihiko taking such good care of them that he began to think of them as his best friends, as well as his siblings, aggressively defending them against any passive verbal remark about their original condition. Drawing an incredibly deep mark on his shoulder, marked vividly into the form of a Jolly Roger with a sun in it to appease the youngest of the four, Akihiko drew a mark which would become that which he uses up to this day, reluctantly of course, considering his end goal was to become a Marine. Akihiko, along with his brothers and one sister, would often pretend to be pirates, Akihiko wearing an eyepatch and red waistcoat picked out as fine merchant clothing by his parents on a day they were allowed to return home, and even with one of the four wearing a dress that looked oddly like the purple dress of the New Age's Shicibukai and Queen of Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock.

Having taken care of his siblings for so long, Akihiko found it incredibly surprising that his parents had returned home suddenly, and for quite a longer time than usual. If he had said it, he would have been asked whether or not he was actually happy to see his parents, but the boy was not so sure he was. Despite his ideology that Marines were basically the best things ever, he had heard stories from his little "brother" of their awful deeds in the name of Justice, and would have had no reason to doubt it, if he didn't have precognitions of malicious events affiliated with his parents. It felt, cold, and terrifying, but almost like a warning. While Akihiko was getting the hang of his new power, it was incredibly difficult for him to choose his newfound powers over his parents, who were also Marines on top of that. Suddenly being put under immense training, Akihiko began to wonder if this event had something to do with his fitness. With their expectations being that for a child so academically inclined like Aki that physical training would prove to be incredibly challenging and strenuous, Akihiko demonstrated a powerful endurance that reminded his parents of their own, quite above the average level of stamina and even all-round physical capabilities of a Bagnaran his age. Everything from push-ups to cartwheels did his parents have him attempt to learn and master, something which he did every time without complaint, and with his striking test on an extremely large tree causing it to shake and reverberate as if it was a toppling building. Akihiko never quite understood what was supposed to be the difficulty in this type of training, but would accept his body getting stronger, believing that his parents had stopped him from reading as often as he would to exercise simply to strengthen both his mind and body.

This incredible amount of reinforcement led to Akihiko eventually looking quite muscular and well built for his age, his strong physique seemingly irradiating those who looked on at him with surprise and admiration, Akihiko emerging out of that training as a devilishly handsome man. Armed with a brilliant intellect, kind heart, handsome figure and a charming intuition, it was not long before Akihiko garnered attention, his only half-developed social skills belying the fact that he was "smooth", as even his little sister, while surprised at the dramatic change, noticed upon his random decision to talk about a mathematics problem in the midst of a conversation meant to be facilitating "catching up" that he was "the same old Aki." It was not like anyone actually considered that to be a problem, Akihiko having garnered so much attention to himself by this point that he was pretty much the talk and lifeblood of the entire community, with nothing but his yet untermed Kenbunshoku Haki enabling him to do all of this. From mere observations, Akihiko had set himself up at a place of importance within the village, something many noticed.

Act 1 Scene 2: The Foreboding of A Twist of Fate
Akihiko and his friends, while their occasionally mischievous endeavours could be seen and felt all around the small, still unnamed village, often found themselves in a particular region of the Dorado's rural grasslands that was close to the sea, known as the Everbloom, an area known to be in what appeared to be summer all year long. The flowers that grew were said to be a sign of the good will and hospitality of the Baganaran people which never faltered and was said to be created by the Goddess of the Earth and Fertility, Ani, the main goddess representative of the Dorado in the Bagnaran Kingdom and one of the most respected of the Divines. According to Bagnaran population mythology, the Goddess infused her own benevolence and blessing into the surrounding lands which had at one point never bloomed before, allowing the legendary First Men to arrive on the lands without dying of hunger shortly after. The fruits then in turn infused the Bagnaran's with a powerful sense of friendliness and kindness amongst each other, facilitating their settling down. Therefore, in a sense, it could be said that Akihiko and his friends often played and relaxed on sacred grounds, something which they all seemed to pay no attention or reverence to in the least.

Suddenly, breaking the omnipresent silence that pervaded the entirety of their surroundings, if one focused their hearing, they could perceive the incremental crescendo that was the engine of an approaching ship, it's constant progress across the seas causing waves to be pushed backwards with immense force, a testament to the sheer power of the engine that the vessel was outfitted with. However, with such a relatively slow speed for such a powerful engine, one would wonder what exactly this ship contained that caused it to move this slowly, as the ship seemed to only barely maneuver itself away from a nearby mountain. What could it possibly have been? A cargo ship?

As the skies broke apart to herald the coming of the ship it slowly began to become apparent that this mountain was definitely not what it appeared to be, as while it did have this incredible stature the figure and shape of such a formation seemed impossible, and far more represented the appearance of a human. Akihiko instantly shot up, his closed eyes that were previously reflective of his enjoyment of the warm summer breeze now seeing the oncoming presence of an incredibly large individual, their silhouette definitely not appearing to be human-sized. Warning his siblings, Akihiko watched as the first set of breakers broke the land barrier, the ship apparently docking itself. Despite the best wishes of Michael, Akihiko stepped onto the ship, assuming that he should be able to inspect what was really going on. It was there, that Akihiko truly witnessed the gargantuan scope of this ship first-hand, Akihiko almost wondering if he had transported himself into another country. This ship was large enough to fit maybe ten Goliaths, an innumerable amount of Davids, and even then some! However, breaking away his thoughts from the awe-inspiring scene that stood before him as well as how the sunlight refracted beautifully into his deep gold eyes, Akihiko, while he may have normally leaped down, took the seemingly endless staircase down to the deck of the ship, arriving upon a sight that would begin to put everything in his life up to the current moment into motion. A giant humanoid laid on the deck which dwarfed him in turn, as if there was meant to be even more of these people. The young boy had read about the races of the planet he lived on, but never had he seen one like this up close..it was astonishing. However, his first physical specimen didn't seem to be in too much of a good condition, with similarly massive gashes and puddles of blood dotting his black garments as if a dress made with bloody polka dots.

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 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, to attaining the title of Fastest Man Alive. Possessing an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit ability with comparable skill, and an immense mastery over the powers of both the spirit and the body, Akihiko may just have a greater destiny than even his arrogance lets on. Akihiko, as a fleet commander of his own crew containing persons of similar strength to his own swayed by his charisma is quite powerful in his own right, and is wanted by the World Government for a bounty of $???,000,000.

Physical Attributes
Akihiko, as a fulblooded citizen of the Bagnara Kingdom, is inherently physical superior to most normal humans to begin with, but even regardless of his ancestry, Akihiko's raw physical strength at that specific young age is much greater than could be explained solely by that specifically, his incredible physical prowess manifesting in his ability to destroy furniture and move large objects during a tantrum at the age of one, as well as being shouldering a huge tree and causing it to shake at 4, as Akihiko grew his physical talents only improved. Akihiro possesses a naturally incredibly tough hide, only magnified by the harsh years of training which Akihiko was forced to be a part of to become a future Marine, as well as begin to show the inherited traits of both of his parents. As a result now, Akihiko's incredible durability has caused many to stop and stare, as a single man takes the full impact of an incredibly large cannonball head on, only to remove the smoke from his body to reveal that he was not injured at all, tanking attacks like that despite being a Logia to begin with just to show his enemies how hopeless they truly are, before catching said cannonball with a single hand and throwing it back at its source, completely obliterating entire lockdown fleets with the sheer speed, strength and size of the cannonball's propulsion. In fact, Akihiko's natural strengths have been mistaken for his Rokushiki techniques, his striking power considered so vast that a punch can cause unexpected piercing damage almost as if it was one of the trademarked Cutting Air attacks of swordsmen, Akihiko in fact capable of utilizing his arms like such, a physical feat he learned to pull off specifically to have fun with the Commander of a portion of his Fleet. Akihiko's incredible power is so vast that his attacks can cause a massive shockwaves in a similar manner to the Hasshoken fighting style.

However, it would be incredibly remiss for one to go all this way to talk about Akihiko's physical prowess and not once mention his unrivaled speed, having a speed considered to be one of the, if not the fastest being(s) on the planet. Akihiko casually demonstrates a tremendous level of superhuman speed that enables him to fight off physically powerful superhumans with the utmost of the ease, even utilizing nothing but his speed with simple normal human strength levels to completely to take care of those he could not care about enough to put more effort, with Akihiko's speed almost seeming as if he simply teleported across the room. In fact, Akihiko sees the world around him in an almost depressingly slow movement speed due to his own incredible superhuman speed levels, that in fact are so vast that persons may believe that he has activated his Devil Fruit powers when he has in fact kept them locked away under lock and key. With Akihiko's already incredible speed that allows him to effectively fight against beings known for their speed also as well as seemingly create an entire army of speed duplicates, as well as generating sonic booms that follow his movements shortly after. In addition, endurance wise, Akihiko is said to be a completely different monster, as Akihiko constantly portrays an enormous amount of physical energy and stamina, his durability so great that it gives him incredible prowess with the ability known as Tekkai, his durability contributing to the term he refers to as his endurance, but apart from that, Akihiko's stamina is astonishing, fighting against entire squadrons of powerful opponents as well as fighting against those he is evenly matched with for three days, and potentially longer assuming that he is fully hydrated. Almost as if he was an Atlantean incapable of swimming, Akihiko can still augment his physicall traits in a similar way to most regular Bagnara Kingdom citizens by taking in such vast quantities of water that he strengthens himself as it moves throughout his body.

Koshi Koshi No Mi
Having consumed the power of the Koshi Koshi No Mi while he was still pretty young, as well as proving to be incredibly skilled in the areas of science directly related to light and all of its properties, vastly increasing the talent he might have once had to tremendous levels, drawing out what he believes to be most of the vast potential remaining hidden within a user of this fruit, truly demonstrating why this Devil Fruit is in actuality the superior element to the power of the Pika Pika No Mi, an Admiral Class Devil Fruit wielded by none other than former Vice Admiral of the World Government, Borsalino, with this incredible power granting Akihiko the title of the Fastest Man in The World, the inheritor to a title that inherently comes along with the elemental Devil Fruit type. The sheer power and raw scope of the Devil Fruit, being based on photons rather than a glimmer, or visible light, enables Akihiko to demonstrate his uncanny prowess in disciplines related to light, photons, and culture to harness the power of the Devil Fruit and become a Terror of the Seas when combined with his unmatched knowledge. Akihiko, ever since leaving the Marine Organization, has displayed tremendous skill with his Devil Fruit known to blatantly surpass the Vice Admiral Kizaru of the time of the former Pirate King, a power said to be so immense that it brings despair to all those who stand against it. Like all Logia, Akihiko has the almighty power to transform his body into his element, a mass of photons almost identical to that of the Pika Pika No Mi, though from here on out, Akihiko's talent with the Koshi Koshi No Mi begins to shine. The Koshi Koshi No Mi allows the user to create, control and transform into manifestations and arrangements of photons near limitlessly, as well as move at the speed of light or casuality, and with this, Akihiko has truly become a Photon Human. Like the Vice Admiral who has come before him, Akihiko has shown the inherent capability to even partially transform his body into light so as to fire off attacks that move at the speed of light, a level of speed considered completely infinite and untouchable for any being below his level of power. However, Akihiko has demonstrated such unparalleled reflexes that he can avoid a Soru enhanced Shigan from a few meters away from a decently skilled Rokushiki user when one takes into consideration his vast natural reflexes, Kenbunshoku Haki prowess, and unmatched eyesight by simply turning intangible.

However, Akihiko has also shown to overcome several of the weaknesses that a Pika Pika No Mi user might have, as Akihiko has proven to be capable of harnessing either the power of Soru or Geppo (or at times both), whenever necessary while partially transforming his legs into sheer light, allowing him to move at speeds capable of rivaling his fully transformed speeds and allows him to accelerate at a rate much faster than the past Vice Admiral, giving those who fight him with experience from fighting past light-based fighters the idea that he is faster than light itself, and as a result, Akihiko is considered the fastest man alive in or out of his  full transformation, and can even condense his unstoppable photonic power into weapon based constructs that seemingly pierce anything except the strongest of Busoshoku Haki coatings, it's incredible penetrative power even slicing through a density of Haki considered to be New World level. Akihiko has even demonstrated However, much of his true ferocity and ingenuity with powers not considered to be part of his Awakening are based on combination with his Rokushiki. His mastery allows him to choose whether to be intangible, or to simply slice his opponents limbs off of their body due to the sheer level of energy his body possesses, Akihiko seemingly capable of choosing whether he wishes to destructively interfere with surrounding objects or simply quantum tunnel through them due to his intangibility, though this can still be negated by Busoshoku Haki. While Akihiko cannot utilize his Busoshoku Haki on anything generated from his body, for example projectiles, through utilizing his transformed state and then covering it in Haki, Akihiko has achieved a new level of striking power that goes beyond what most claim to have ever seen before. While converting his body into light is not directly instantaneous, his already vast speed outclassing even most on his level especially when combined with his strong command of the Rokushiki techniques makes up for that.

Apart from that, by bending the movement of photons around his body, Akihiko is capable of rendering himself invisible, and can apply that to vast stretches of land to generate extremely powerful realistic illusions strengthened through the usage of his skill with Kenbunshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki to hide the essences and aura displacement one would usually detect in a regular visual illusion, having Marines turn away from specific areas, among other things should he deem it necessary, as he is known for creating illusions of immense whirlpools across what would appear to be vast stretches of water, or change the appearance of a Marine base to that of a regular common island to fool his opponents, if Pirate, into believing that they are safe, only to have them captured by the Marines or forced to fight an unnecessary battle. Alternatively, Akihiko can overload the natural senses by continuously reflowing visual stimuli in the form of photons directly to the eye, forcing them to see nothing but a bright white light, and when combined with his In, renders him completely imperceptible, the perfect set up for his illusions. From having allies fight against each other to other effects, the true power of each and every application is only truly brought through Awakening and combination with other abilities. In addition, Akihiko is known for applying the effects of optical illusions to himself at times, enabling him to, for example, "exist" in multiple locations simultaneously through the creation of "sun dogs" or Parhelions.

Even scarier, Akihiko is capable of manipulating the light that enters the eyes at all times, causing it to rip through the skulls of anyone who's pupils or retina's still function passively, forcing them to explode spontaneously, and as there is usually no way to see this coming to begin with except with Kenbunshoku Haki, as well as there is usually no way to avoid it, as even turning into their element guarantees no safety since it happens on reflex, noticeably slower than light. As a result, this means that Akihiko becomes capable of greatly injuring even the most powerful opponents with the snap of a finger, as well as utilize the light emitted from certain Devil Fruit powers against the wielders. As a large number of Devil Fruit powers glow, shine, or radiate some form of light, Akihiko can use his powers to greatly injure his opponents. In fact, the user of the Mera Mera No Mi often finds themselves at a disadvantage due to his ability to manipulate infrared, as well as allows him to counter the Hie Hie and Yuki Yuki No Mi Devil Fruits in combat. As Light is nearly omnipresent, Akihiko is capable of attacking anyone in almost every situuation.

Awakening
The true awakening of Akihiko's dormant potential, the Koshi Koshi No Mi Devil Fruit is unique in that much of it's power must be awakened, due to it's potential being so inherently vast that it's regular powers would have been around the Pika Pika No Mi's awakening levels, forcing it to go back a few steps. With it's awakening, Akihiko is capable of demonstrating utter control over photons themselves, as his former powers become capable of being enacted without even budging a finger, though to be fair, with this Awakening, it is not even sure to anyone barring Akihiko himself if he actually moves his finger. Akihiko has shown to be capable of harnessing the power of photonic-electronic excitation to generate vast levels of heat from naught but visible light capable of incinerating all those within his presence on the slightest of whims, as well as even capable of simply not causing any photoelectric-atomic excitation, causing it to transmit a cold air along with the burst of light. With this, Akihiko begins his process of becoming the sun itself, manipulating the temperature of the Earth around him by combining his near limitlessly generated light with that of the world around him, allowing him to completely scorch entire fleets with the utmost of ease, the level of intensity of his light only increasing the chances of spontaneous combustion and even torch living beings at will lest they are capable of resisting the incredible heat he claims to be on par with that of the sun.

Conquering Lights of the Southern Star
Alternatively, Akihiko has demonstrated the ability to utilize his power to completely change the nature of his light and combine it with the smallest amount of Haoshoku Haki possible to create lights capable of conqueiring the user's will based on their symbolism, utilizing his inherent knoweledge of colour psychology to overwhelm the minds and power of almost all that stand before him, as despite having such a small amount of Haoshoku Haki embedded in it, the level of intensity put into changing the light's entire nature as well as what it plays on, colour psychology, makes it even harder to resist, though this is not to say that Akihiko cannot vastly increase the amount of Haki placed into lights, turning the lights into the "Conquering Lights of the Southern Star". Each colour has it's own inherent meaning, and Akihiko is said to be incredibly masterful in utilizing each and every one of these colours in battle to literally change the way his opponent thinks.


 * Red: Red, the colour of the highest wavelength of light and therefore the lowest frequency, holds deep subconscious and conscious psychological meaning in the eyes and minds of all living beings, and with Akihiko's unmatched capability to manipulate light, as well as his affinity to Haki in general, Akihiko is capable of applying the power of his Conquering Lights to this specific colour. Awakening the true limitless power of a Logia, Akihiko, by generating red, can induce either positive or negative impacts and influences on those who witness it, depending on whether or not they are his allies or foes, and the level of intensity of his Conqueror's Haki embedded into the light, calling upon a theory not known to many Marine scientists,the power of colour psychology, and by creating a secondary colour through the usage of the Colour of the Conqueror that is simultaneously physical and spiritual, Akihiko, starting with red, has began to show the world the true power of light. Harnessing the full power of his colours, Akihiko can utilize the colour of red to amplify the physical strength and energy levels of those he considers as allies, allowing them to tap into their hidden supplies of power, as well as induce incredible levels of bravery, though by changing the shade of his red, Akihiko can generate the Conquering Effect of passion and desire, transforming himself from quite the handsome man to an incredibly potent womanizer. However, for his enemies, Akihiko can sow unparalleled discord into the ranks of his foes, washing his opponents with immense levels of aggression and strain, causing them to be irrationally demanding or simply think completely irrationally.
 * Blue: The second primary psychological colour, blue, being the colour of the mind, logic, and the manifestation of all things intellectual, Akihiko can harness the colour the blue to tremendously accelerate and improve the tactical thinking of all those who witness this light or any light of it's colour currently being controlled by him, calm those who are worrying and assure them that everything is okay, and even help those without a purpose to find one through the application of duty. Alternatively, Akihiko can utilize blue to invoke a severe error in distance and depth perception whether it be regular senses or Kenbunshoku Haki due to the interference of his Haoshoku Haki, and induce such overwhelming calmness that he has demonstrated being able to attack the nakama of several individuals without fear of retaliation. He can conduct actions that would lead to clear disagreement right before them, and with enough intensity, Akihiko can completely suppress emotions with a superior tranquility and an emotional insensitivity.
 * Yellow: The third primary psychological colour, Akihiko can induce an incredible amount of happiness in all those who witness it, whether or not they were incredibly grieving to begin with, as well as simply arousing cheerfulness. The colour yellow is known for granting Akihiko and those who witness this colour an unshakable charisma on an unshakeable level seemingly allowing those affected by it to turn enemies into their alLies lest they have a sufficiently potent Haoshoku Haki to clash with that of Akihiko's own, as well as an extremely powerful willpower and determination as a derivative of yellow's power to lift one's spirit and level of friendliness. However, by increasing the intensity of the yellow, Akihiko can induce an enormous amount of fear and cause it to wash over his opponents, and in sufficient concentrations, induce fear paralysis on a level that it shatters the emotions of those it comes into contact with, conquering their emotions. This resultant emotional fragility usually can lead to depression and suicide.
 * Green: The fourth primary psychological colour, is a colour of balance, and allows Akihiko to pull of trly magical effects. Akihiko, with the power of the colour green, is capable of conquering the natural state of one's body linked to one's ambition in a similar manner to overpowering Haoshoku Haki, except that his allies subconsciously allow it. This enables Akihiko to heal those who see his green constantly in battle, granting them great stability and endurance, as well as is noted to vastly amplify the fertility of those who gaze upon it, turning the barren fertile and capable of making children once more. This green also grants the user an enhanced ability to perceive whatever is there naturally, giving them an enhanced enviro-spatial awareness. However, Akihiko can use green to induce uncomfortable levels of boredom and a stagnation of enjoyment, subliminally moving targets away from doing particular activities.
 * Violet: The truest manifestation of the Colour of the Conqueror's Ambition, Akihiko can grant those who gaze upon it an incredibly amplified eyesight, as well as spiritual awareness, otherwise known as an amplification in the capability to sense spiritual energies through the use of Kenbunshoku Haki, as well as grants a distinguished, royal air, an air that usually represents power and is manifested in much more respect being paid to him than would be otherwise. One attains true wisdom by seeing violet, as one's Kenbunshoku Haki is much more increased due to the synchronicity between the colour of the Haki's symbolization and the symbolization of Haoshoku Haki, this manifesting in enhanced levels of creativity.
 * Orange: A combination of red's stimulating energy and yellow's cheerful happiness, Akihiko can induce the desire to eat vast amounts of food and simply large numbers of particular physical desires, and increase the adventurous nature within each member of his crew, as well as passion for material objects. However, Akihiko can utilize this underwhelming colour to induce immaturity upon those who witness it, their passion for physical objects becoming too nonsensical and illogical to be considered that of a matured individual. In fact, Akihiko can even increase this desire on his opponents to the point that their Conquered Body reacts to it, feeling starved and famished.
 * Pink: This gives Akihiko or those who witness it a parental role or role of inspiration to those around them, as well as a natural desire to warmly nurture the next generation of pirates or simply young members of his crew lovingly, as well as alternatively inducing a potent physical weakness, inhibition on the emotional and more dominating scale, and a slow draining of masculinity, severely hurting his does with massive egos.
 * Grey: Akihiko can utilize his unmatched ability to manipulate the power of light to utilize this particular colour to force and conquer the minds of his opponents into believing that they have become incredibly aged, and as a result, greatly reduce their capability to think or act properly in high intensities, and has them become incredibly compliant to his will, having their will subconsciously conquered by anything he can conjure in his mind, as well as enabling him to enforce discipline on those in his surrounding area by reminding them through the power grey. It is theorized that since Akihiko utilizes a Spiritual Colour of Ambition, or Haki, as well as the one of Conquering, and grey's relative passiveness, that it allows Akihiko to control the wills of those who witness it.
 * White: As the combination of all colours, can be used to split itself to produce absolutely any colour that he can think about with the diffraction of his light, similarly to green he can amplify to increase spatial awareness of his allies, as well as convince people not to touch him and his allies at all.


 * Brown:

The Spectrum of Photons
The term "light" refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not. In this sense, gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are also light.

While that past ability could in fact be considered a derivative of his Awakening, it was only made that incredibly effective due to the addition of his Haoshoku Haki. However, this is not to say that Akihiko has not invented his own, incredibly powerful usages of his Devil Fruit. As his Devil Fruit is not the Glimmer Glimmer Fruit and thus not restricted to visible light, Akihiko, upon Awakening his Devil Fruit, discovered that he had obtained the ability to manipulate light in its entirety, somehow beyond even the endless level of manipulation he had before. This was because; he no longer simply manipulated  visible light, but the electromagnetic spectrum on a whole, and could choose which form of light to manifest. Though that forced him to give up his Conquering Lights of the Southern Star when switched, the sheer potency and versatility Akihiko gains when using this power is so vast that it makes up for it, and perhaps then some. It is this power that gives him his legendary levels of eyesight often compared to Dracule Mihawk, though this will be covered in his eyesight section.

This power was made manifest when Akihiko first learned how to manipulate the wavelengths of his light and change the amount of energy each wave possessed, or in other words, change the colour of the light in question. See, light possesses a frequency and wavelength, the frequency being a quantity representative of the amount of energy placed within a wave. This, in turn, means that Akihiko, as he is capable of manipulating the quantum for said wave, the discrete packet in which this energy is stored and therefore is known for manipulating the amount of energy transmitted with these packets to change the colours of things. However, Akihiko also demonstrates the ability to manipulate it out of visible light's ranges and into other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum, reducing or increasing it's wavelength enough to produce all other known frequencies known to man outside of regular visible light to make his power be likened to that of a divine control over the element of light.

The electromagnetic spectrum, is the collection term for all known frequencies and the linked wavelengths of their known photons, the quantum and carriers of the nigh-omnipresent existence manifesting itself as electromagnetic radiation. Akihiko's absolute favourite area of study, Akihiko has proven to be capable of harnessing the power of electromagnetism on a level that many people consider completely unfair. With a mere thought, Akihiko can convert the visible light he uses into X-rays, capable of ionizing atoms and destabilizing molecular bonds, obliterating the tissues of those around him if he releases it in a violent burst, induce and kill cancer cells with the utmost of ease, ultraviolet rays to do quite a number of things from causing permanent eye damage and cancerous tumours to emerge in direct parts of the body, and his ability to utilize infrared allows him to induce truly vast swathes of heat and have it completely overwhelm the environment, the source of his ability to manipulate the temperature of his light. However, Akihiko can utilize this to harness an incredibly dangerous wavelength, gamma rays. This energy type can be used to vastly energize his body and physique, allowing Akihiko to enter a physical state he calls Full Release, his absolutely monstrous levels of physical capabilities ascending to levels considered legendary, though at the moment he can only hold his Full Release sparingly and not for extended periods of time, but when he does, he is noted to become an entirely different beast, though it is not known what, physically, would possibly push him to go that far. Transformations aside, Akihiko is known for similarly vastly energizing the weaker, non-combat oriented members of his crew during a major confrontation, turning each and every individual in his ranks into potential combatants and drastically increasing the crew's fighting potential, and slowly split apart atoms and molecules of physical objects, though his power seems to only be capable of doing that to non-living things at the moment, and chose where his attacks actually damage, regardless of where they hit his opponent.

From summoning and manipulating natural flames, to ionizng atoms and breaking bonds, inducing extremely dangerous conditions, and even bending light around entire plantations to cause them to suddenly just die from the lack of light and therefore the halt of the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis, even stoping glucose from ever being formed in the first place, and as a result, pretty much forcefully screwing over the food supplies of his opponents at will simply because he's having a bad day. However, this is a brief oversimplification of the full scope of his powers. As most thermal energy is in fact infrared light, not only is Akihiko known for setting things on fire and moving this fire, but is also known for being able to stop fires by removing most of the thermal energy it needs to generate a combustion reaction and go even further to bringing things down to a freezing point, though it should be noted that he has not yet gotten the hang of this particular application (nonetheless, it is something to be noted), but he can hide his body temperature.

However, the strongest thing Akihiko is known to be capable of doing, and this is just a possibility, is to combine all of his electromagnetic potential into a single blast he calls a''' Quasar. '''This technique is calculated to have such earth-shattering force that even several powerful individuals each capable of utilizing Busoshoku Haki would be immensely hard-pressed to resist, it's destructive power so unimaginably massive that for one point Akihiko's body shines with such brilliance on every wavelength perceivable that it permanent damages the eyes of whichever fool might attempt to look upon it. However, this vastly drains Akihiko, and as such, he has never used it, and this power is simply theorized as his maximum point, with most saying that it would probably just kill him upon usage.

Rokushiki
The Six Powers, are a powerful mysterious superhuman Martial Art taught among the World Government's CP9 agents and the more powerful Marines of the Marine Organization, allowing a master of these arts to pull of feats considered completely impossible and perhaps even magical by any not a user of this form, with even the most basic usages of this martial art proving to have tremendous potential in every way they can be applied. With an enormously high Doriki Akihiko's usage of Rokushiki is definitely above that of your ordinary master of these techniques. With his brilliant mind thinking up applications many could never conceive, Akihiko has proven that he is a true martial artist.
 * Geppo: An enormously important ability to Akihiko despite his capability to fly, Akihiko has proven to possess the ability to jump off the air itself seemingly indefinitely, crossing vast distances never touching the ground. He has been noted to have done this quite a bit during his younger and much more inexperienced days of pirating, as once while captured by the Marines and seastone handcuffs placed on his hand, Akihiko simply stood up, and used Geppo on the unsuspecting Marines all the way back to his ship while deflty avoiding cannonfire, breaking it, and escaping capture, acting like nothing had ever occured to him, as they had not yet restrained his legs.Akihiko can utilize this ability to kick off the ground to effectively undergo deady and intense aerial combat with the best of flyers, as Akihiko has proven to be capable of subconciously doing this with a single leg, even switching to the other leg should something suddenly occur to one of his legs and continuing to keep going due to his superior physical strength, as well as combine it with the incredible power of Soru for incredibly fast three-dimensional movements, an application becoming popularized by the Rob Lucci of the New Age's CP9. However, Akihiko has proven to do quite a bit more with his Geppo. As Geppo already grants one the power to have such powerful legs that one can kick off of air, Akihiko can kick off of buildings themselves to scale them in single bounds, and gain enormous height, proving useful in some situations, and even allows him to bounce on the very clouds themselves, allowing him to seemingly replicate cloud flight. Even then, however, this results in nothing compared to the true applications of Geppo by him. Utilizing Busoshoku Haki's ability to be projected as invisible brute force and his ability to utilize and solidify it in the process he calls hardening, Akihiko applies his abnormal jumping ability by hopping onto a platform of Busoshoku Haki, vastly amplifying the force with which he leaps upon the "air", allowing him to rocket around the battlefield at incredible speeds considered vast enough to assume he was utilizing Soru, and with his ability to move incredibly quickly, he has even demonstrated a technique he refers to as Geppo: Baizō Chōyaku.


 * Geppo: Baizō Chōyaku- Not an amazingly creative, or creatively named ability, but by slamming his feet down so as to propel himself as one would normally do to jump, Akihiko then applies the principles of Soru which enables the user to kick an amazing number of times before they even actually move, the resulting kinetic energy then driving them forward. Instead, Akihiko concentrates this into his Geppo, seemingly producing a teleportation -esque effect, seemingly disappearing and reappearing upwards, or even simply utilizing it to transverse much vaster distances at a greater speed than most, the incredible speed allowing him to move faster than most users of the Geppo technique, and even utilize his incredible affinity to such vast speeds to turn quite rapidly in midair. With no fear, of falling like a true Rokushiki user should have, Akihiko has demonstrated the ability to Leap while upside down, effectively allowing him to come down upon terrestrial enemies like a meteor, vastly increasing his striking power.
 * Tekkai: As a result of an incredibly powerful body and a similarly high Doriki, Akihiko's natural level of Tekkai is inhumanely powerful, which is in fact the technique that Akihiko has shown to utilize in dispatching the avid Busoshoku Haki using New Worlders who come over to his turf in the Grand Line, demonstrating a prowess that often has pirates and Marines alike feeling as if their willpower enhanced fists are completely worthless. Akihio’s enormously powerful muscle fibers from both his heritage and his training grant him an even greater defense when actively utilizing this technique, allowing him to take an enormous amount of physical damage from his opponents. In fact, since unlike Haki, Tekkai has no limit in it's application except for maneuverability and its ability to be used to defend against non-physical attacks, Akihiko has been seen applying this overwhelmingly potent ability to his Logia ability to transform into light, often surprising lesser pirates with his seemingly indestructible body in both intangibility and apparent resistance to his usual nullification of abilities. This Tekkai power results in incredible power behind all of his attacks, as suddenly stopping actual movement and activating Tekkai results in incredibly terrifying levels of force.

Kenbunshoku Haki
Kenbunshoku Haki, Mantra, or the Colour of the Observation Haki, is one of the three major types of Haki and serves to grant Akihiko a wide variety of immensely potent supernatural perception capabilities he would have never demonstrated prior, as Akihiko's complete mastery over the art of wielding this particular form of Haki is one of a kind, and considered completely amazing. One of the, if not the greatest users of this form of Haki whose talent is underestimated, Akihiko first developed this particular Haki at a very young age, explaining his unmatched experience with it, with Akihiko's claims as to having this form of Haki from birth perhaps not being too far off from the actual truth, if not the truth itself. Akihiko's covering up of one eye is actually a trick to continuously train this particular form of Haki. Akihiko possesses such amazing talent with this form of Haki, that unlike most individuals who can only see the presence of others utilizing this particular form of Haki, Akihiko can see where there light silhouette bounces off and relects towards, his powers of Light manifesting in his Kenbunshoku Haki and enabling him to perceive even the surroundings around him using Kenbunshoku Haki, and as one's aura "reflection" is not bound by the laws of physics, Akihiko can infact see deep underground, under the sea, and through walls over incredible distances, these distance and Akihiko's incredible perception allowing him to see traps as well as other minor objects that might be of potential importance to his adversary, and it is these reflections that enable Akihiko to tell illusion from reality. In fact, Akihiko's usage of traditional Kenbunshoku Haki is noted to be so incredibly potent that when combined with his impeccable Devil Fruit enhanced eyesight that it can pick up the particular aura signature of the person or lifeform being observed, even if mechanical (an android's directive must be carried out and therefore technically speaking they have a will completely directed on filling that out), allowing him to track particular persons over great distances as well as notice the presences of particular persons. In fact, usually Akihiko is even capable of deterimining one's species, though this becomes much harder to do once one's Lineage Factor is manipulated if one is barely their original species or it is now incredibly concealed.

Akihiko's prowess with Kenbunshoku Haki even extends to the point that he can notice minor alterations in the movement of one's aura to better predict his opponent's next move than most users of this Haki type, as well as mimic basic physical movements, for example, observing someone write a document and copying it exactly without ever actually looking at what was written. However, Akihiko does not only extend his ability to observe to his eyesight only, as by applying Kenbunshoku Haki to, for example, his sin, Akihio is capable of feeling the air currents and as a result, movement around him in tandem with his eyesight, allowing him to perceive things even his Kenbunshoku Haki may not have usually. However, back to applying it to vision, Akihiko gains the ability to quite frankly see an opponent's attacks before they even occur, an almost precognitive ability that when combined with his already vast speed allows him to seemingly evade indefinitely, the attack being given to him as a premonition of exactly what the opponent will do and the damage it will inflict. Though more killing intent causes the aura to shine more vibrantly and sizzle, Akihiko is talented enough to see even minute changes in the glow of the opponent's aura, allowing him to predict future attacks with or without the intent to murder. The ability to sense one's level of strength also counts, but with an incredibly advanced level of enlightenment in the art of Observation, it begins to be possible to see the power of one's mind and soul.

Most pirates, upon awakening Kenbunshoku Haki, are capable of witnessing the strength of the spirit and ego combined, otherwise known as one's power with Haki and without Haki combined to form a full total, as well as detecting spiritual energy when manifested into the form of Busoshoku Haki. However, very, very, very few have been able to take this a step further, but to utilize their ability to see the very nature of one's being and combine it with the ability to see the strength of one's being so as to gauge the limits of ambition of whoever they gaze upon, or perhaps, better explained as seeing the inherent spiritual energies through the mind's eye. This enables Akihiko to quite quickly tell whether or not his opponent/acquaintance is capable of utilizing the power known as Haki, as well as the types of Haki they are capable of using, their nature standing out for particular regions for those who specialize, for example, those who Observe better than they Armament, but as he goes up in power observation, when fighters become more powerful, they tend to improve across all the boards, slowly balancing and evening out the differences. Therefore, while Akihiko cannot directly gauge the power of each individual Haki, a user of say, all three, on a relatively proficient level or even playing field, is usually something to look out for, as such beings tend to be awfully powerful.

However, even this is not the true terror of Akihio's prowess with Kenbunshoku Haki. In a manner similar to the man known as Enel, one of the most masterful users of Kenbunshoku Haki in the known world, as combined with Akihiko's capability to see all forms of light in every wavelength, as well as, like all Logias, connecting his light to the light in the general environment, Akihiko can see over an incredibly vast distance with the same precision as all of his Haki, allowing him to see even what one might have considered hidden or invisible by allowing him to perceive the aura and therefore the person from over a vast distance even if they are "concealed from view", to the point that Akihiko himself does not know the limits to his vision, encompassing everything over the distance of about twice the size of the Bagnara Kingdom, including the underwater portions. Even more similarly, though to a much more limited extent due to his preferred sense not being hearing, Akihiko can combine Observation with his hearing to produce the ability to hear conversation spoken at very low tones out of his earshot. However, the most unique part about Kenbunshoku Haki is that Akihio can see completely the true emotions and nature of others in his presence, from detecting an aggressive or abrasive personality, to absolute tranquility from an infant, though he has been shown to occasionally gain a premonition of what their nature may be in the future should it involve his own future. Strangely enough, unlike many who demonstrate prescience ability with their advanced level of Kenbunshoku Haki, Akihiko possesses an ability arguably even more dangerous, which can be simply put as the ability to observe so closely that he can, for all intents and purposes, gain knowledge of an object's past. By having an object be within the range of his Kenbunshoku Haki and mildly concentrating on it, Akihiko can feel the traces of those who touched the object through the use of his Kenbunshoku Haki, the heat it had been smelted in, and a variety of other factors, and upon placing his hand upon it to have it feel the full force of his Observation, Akihiko is able to accomplish these feats without concentration, as all the information that Akihiko can gather that his Observation deems important is stashed in his incredibly powerful mind. This enables him to effectively see who last came into a particular area by walking in the general area, becoming even more effective if done barefooted. It is said as a joke amongst his crew started by Amaya that when Akihiko takes a bath, he sees the history of all things, like a light peering back against the history and darkness of one's past, due to bearing himself free and technically touching all.

This ability has enabled him to assist many individuals, as well as detect the full backgrounds of individuals regardless of his ability to sense their emotions, a power which has made people believe that he can read their memories. With his mind working side by side with his Haki to pt together everything his Observation had detected, Akihiko is often capable of being able to telling the backstory of an individual of up to two to three weeks in the past, and even longer should he be making contact and concentrating, rendering him incredibly efficient in terms of interrogation, said to draw information from persons whether they wanted him to know or not.

In addition, Akihiko is even capable of sensing resentment or even just plain dissatisfaction, and this ability to perceive all things enables Akihiko to, at times, and with the necessary amount of concentration, work as a human lie detector, seeing and picking up on the subtle changes a liar makes with his enhanced Kenbunshoku Haki. In actuality, by sensing one's aura output, Akihiko is even capable of sensing the relative strength levels of those within his vast eyesight range. As Kenbunshoku Haki allows one to sympathize with animals, Akihiko has shown himself having a natural affinity to sympathizing with those from the sea (Bagnara Kingdom heritage), as well as birds and insects. While predators are also capable of being sympathized with, Akihiko usually does not, and with Akihiko being able to see even inanimate objects, he can harness this power to observe things about the object he may not have detected otherwise. And to top it all off, Akihio's mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki grants him the ability to absorb incredulously vast amounts of sensory information simultaneously on repeat and even new for incredibly extended periods of time, and through his Haki, Akihiko can quite literally comprehend the movements and future movements of nearly any opponent that goes against him, making it incredibly easy to evade, his senses already being precise enough to sense and detect the beating of one's heart, the rate at which it is going with a single beat, and the ability to distinguish between heartbeats in a crowded area.

Additionally, while, technically not bypassing any weaknesses, Akihiko's ability to see inanimate objects with the utilization of Kenbunshoku Haki enables him to simply converse with the aura reflections of the ground and area around him in order to learn and predict the trajectory of otherwise "unpredictable attacks", seemingly avoiding all forms of damage with the utmost of ease, as for example the targets will be immediately avoided due to the fact that the mechanism which enables Haki wielders to bounce their fists off a wall and hit his assailant will simply not work. Due to his Haki detecting the angle at which the fists are coming back in precisely as well as the object's readings telling Akihiko the trajectory of other attacks, effectively nothing is random to Akihiko any longer.
 * Kenbunshoku Haki:In- Akihiko, by utilizing the fact that his Kenbunshoku Haki sees his aura as light, is capable of concealing his life-force to the point he becomes incredibly hard to detect by other wielders of Kenbunshoku Haki, though a user of the same type of Haki with similar prowess has a higher chance of actually detecting him.

Busoshoku Haki
Busoshoku Haki, or the ability for one to generate an incredibly powerful aura around oneself, usually for defensive purposes, though at times also for offensive purposes, is yet another field that Akihiko proves himself incredibly talented in, almost as much as he is in the art of the utilization of Kenbunshoku Haki, as Akihiko is quite skilled in utilizing this to combat Devil Fruit wielding users, among others. Through the application of Busoshoku Haki, Akihiko gains the ability to generate what is effectively a tremendously powerful shield that protects and bolsters his personal durability to incredible heights, heights considered to be so mind-numbing that it is said that his regular applications of Busoshoku Haki as an invisible force rival the darker colouration of less powerful yet skillful practicioners of Haki wielders, even from the New World, and has demonstrated the ability to utilize this power to constantly protect himself from any and all forms of his damage he may have perceived with his uncanny Kenbunshoku Haki. This armour, naturally being aura, also is directly sent to his body and toughens his naturally denser fibers than most humans, augmenting his physical prowess even further apart from the bestowal of the quasi-mystical properties of this form of Haki. Akin to an enchanted armour, Akihiko is known for taking vast amounts of injuries that seemingly never stop coming towards him.

However, it appears to Akihiko that while Kenbunshoku Haki's power is the power to observe, Busoshoku Haki is the power to weaponize or augment that which may or may not be considered a weapon, something that Akihiko has clearly made use of. By expanding a large amount of Busoshoku Haki from his body during combat, Akihiko enables himself to tap into the vast reserves of Busoshoku Haki he has currently flowing around his body at will, and by practicing this technique, enables him to instantaneously erect a defense of Busoshoku Haki on reflex, as his abiltiy to accumulate Busoshoku Haki only grew further as he progressed in his journey throughout the oceans.

Utilizing his unmatched prowess over his natural aura so far, Akihiko constantly demonstrates the power to focus his aura in specific parts of his body. Examples of such tremendous prowess come in the form of Akihiko's ability to flow aura through his own circulatory system throughout his body as if it was his blood, and literally have Haki flow through his veins, a unique technique that unlike most applications of Busoshoku Haki which focus on forming the armor around the body, Akihiko instead becomes the armour himself, his entire body completely hardening without showing the signs of this form of Haki to begin with, as well as forcing his internal body systems to work on a level far beyond what they might have ever worked at before, and instead of having the Haki quasi-mystically augment his striking prowess, Akihiko causes it to actually modify his physical attrbutes and characteristics, displaying an actual enhanced musculature, respiratory, and circulatory system, resulting in strength and speed levels said to be near unstoppable, a mere finger swipe causing the effects of his previous punches, and with an actual punch causing the air around him to compress extremely quickly and heat up as well as cause the wind to produce an incredible shockwave of even grander proportions than prior, having shockwaves be seen from across an island. Akihiko can then recoat the external portion of his body in Busoshoku Haki, allowing him to then destroy his foes with both of the attributes of the internal and external styles of this Haki form, strengthening not only his inner systems but also his outer systems.

Anything imbued with Busoshoku Haki gains the ability to strike enormously harder than it could before, and is magnified by the potency of one's Haki to begin with, as Akihiko's arms impact the air at such a force they cause friction and at times on impact with is opponent, immense levels of combustion, especially when considering the fact that force is also dependent on acceleration and momentum on velocity, as an incredibly potent combination of a firestorm, windstorm and an explosion erupts at the point of impact of Akihiko's attacks. Alternatively, Akihiko can project this Haki in front of him, erecting an incredibly powerful barrier to cover him from all angles, as well as guarding others at the time. However, Akihiko is also capable of projecting his Haki downwards, creating an invisible platform to allow him more angles to utilize his power of Geppo on, a technique of Rokushiki. In addition, also in an evolution of a Rokushiki technique, Akihiko is capable of gaining and channeling his aura to a point on his body, for example his finger, and then release an immensely powerful swarm of energy that attacks and even seemingly eviscerates whatever it impacts, a technique he jokingly referred to as Spirit Cannon, a technique which should perhaps be called the Flying Shigan. By injecting his Busoshoku into the area around him, Akihiko can generate a similar presence of aura to his own for the sake of naught but intimidation and escapism, but he has consistenly proven that he can do much more than simply that. By utlizing this invisible force and shaping it to suit his desires, Akihiko is capable of generating a vast arsenal of invisible weaponry, from kunai to full blown swords, generating a large channel of aura in between his arms, and with enough concentration, can cause it to become a solid blade seemingly inherently capable of cutting through any and all forms of Devil Fruit based defenses. However

As Haki is directly dependent on the power of one's ambition, a concept on which it is based on and thrives upon, Akihiko is capable of creating masses of Haki which he then infuses his ambition within, technically conquering the masses, though more giving them the ambition and will to fight, and causing them to take up arms, the true power of Busoshoku Haki. As Busoshoku Haki's true purpose is the infusion of one's ambition to the environment around them, Akihiko is capable of effectively creating powers that allow him to generate spiritual weaponry utilizing Kenbunshoku Haki to guide the flow of his aura perfectly. Most, however, can simply only utilize this Haki with the ability to infuse the particular ambition of helping them win a specific fight, a power that results in things only becoming more durable and strengthening, etc. But by imbuing an object with the desire to simply assist in combat, Akihiko can for example, turn water solid under the power of his Busoshoku Haki, trapping the water within his spiritual armor and walking on it like nothing ever happened and as if he was not a Devil Fruit user, as well as seemingly more minor abilities such as applying a blast of Busoshoku Haki in opposition to his opponent's limbs to halt their movements. Additionally

But wait, there's more,Akihiko can also utilize his uncanny ability to see aura to attack extremely precisely, and for example, Akihiko can condense all of his Busoshoku Haki going into a particular impact into one singular area, allowing him to, for example, stop his opponent's heart by projecting and the concentrating the force of Busoshoku Haki ahead of him, and while blast or beam like attacks are possible and have been demonstrated by Akihiko, some of the truth of Akihiko's Devil Fruit negating Busoshoku Haki prowess will be revealed in his Rokushiki section, and it is suspected that should Akihiko reveal the ability to channel Haoshoku Haki, his threat level will only increase from there on out, as Akihiko's power, intellect, and propensity to combine his abilities proves amazing.
 * Busoshoku Haki:Asura-  Akihiko, as a master of manipulating the flow of his aura due to his incredible perception of his aura to begin with, Akihiko can expand the size of his invisible armour at will, before generating a formation which appears to be almost exactly like those of his arms with the invisible force, which he then solidifies, producing an extremely powerful technique that Akihiko refers to only as Asura,not even saying the type of Haki used to create it to begin with, the size of these arm constructs being truly colossal, almost as if he was becoming a Bodishvatta of surprising devotion. This abilty enables Akihiko to accomplish what he considers a miracle of combat, the attack rate and speed of consecutive attacks far beyond that which any two-armed combatant could possibly hope to achieve, te technique often allowing him to overpower even those thought to be a great deal stronger than him, as well as pretty much as greatly bolster his actual superhuman physical strength.
 * Buso-Kenbunshoku Haki: Sitting Duck- As Busoshoku Haki is the ability to condense and imbue one's aura into inaimate objects or one's body, Akihiko is capable of applying his Busoshoku Haki on nearby objects, before utilizing the resulting increase in aura concentration to see utilziing Kenbunshoku Haki, extending the range of his vision to even further heights, often considered terrfying, as even if Akihiko may not be able to track a target usually, which is perhaps the rarest occasion he has ran into, he can sense them based off, for example, a slight amount of Busoshoku Haki placed on their clothing, with the reflection and imrpints eventually touching their skin, marking them in his eyes. This means anything that Akihiko places his Haki into can be used as a conduit for his Kenbunshoku Haki, a technique that makes him truly dangerous indeed.

Haoshoku Haki
The most rare form of Haki and the Haki hidden under spiritual enlightenment that one can only naturally possess by birth, Haoshoku Haki refers to the spiritual awareness and enlightenment of kings and conquerors, only possessed by a special few the universe believes are worthy of such incredible power, one in several million people. As a young man who considers himself at bare minimum as a man who has the self-perceived title as a Prince of the Sea, Akihiko's usage and manifestaion of this Haki is directly linked to, and confirms his belief that he has truly royal qualities, allowing him to impose his will over that others. Truly possessing the spirit of a Conqueror, Akihiko has continuously demonstrated the ability to treat all who come up against him and those who dare to oppose him as the inferior beings that they are for going up against his crew, demonstrating to them that what they are battling against is in fact a King and his family. With seemingly no real reason for possessing this particular type of Haki apart from his self-proclaimed conviction, Akihiko first awakened this ability on a subtle level during the event where Marines raided his island, a small portion of a larger, secretly connected Kingdom, but the place of his home town. In a fit of rage and driven by a grief of properties, Akihiko revealed in utter panic the ability to halt the advances of mere men, his new drive to protect his friends vastly supplementing the perhaps normally weaker will of a child, enabling him to knock out several Marines in his area, though even Akihiko himself had no idea what exactly it was that he had just done. Concealing his ability to manipulate such a power when "in" the Marines lest the World Governement might use him as a weapon, Akihiko slowly developed his prowess. While at first, Akihiko had the traditional will of a Bagnaran child pre-incident, the will to become a Marine (and even then he showed incredible levels of determination, sucking up knowledge at rates that would put even the most advanced of scholars of shame due to how much he was to determined to learn), or an upholder of justice and put his Kingdom on the map, the young Bagnaran would have never awakened his true kingly powers without this tragic occurence. As skilled as Akihiko is in his other forms of Haki, he is similarly skilled in this one, accomplishing amazing feats such as combining this incredibly potnt form of Haki with his lights in order to conquer the mind in vastly more versatile manners than the regular usage of this would allow.

Akihiko has demonstrated the ability to use his potent will to dominate the will of other creatures, causing them to fall beneath him and grovel at his feet, dominating the wildest of animals and subjugating them, as well as other people. In fact, as the precursor to his light and Haki combination, Akihiko at first demonstrated the incredible ability to use his Haki to control the level to which it affects the opponent, as well as use Kenbunshoku Haki to see exactly how much Haoshoku Haki is required, allowing him to effectively turn those in his presence not unconscious, but dominate their wills to an extent where not much needs to be said in order to force them to listen to his command. By releasing his Haoshoku Haki to sufficent levels, Akihiko can release an aura of overpowering royalty, forcing opponents with a will too weak to fight against it to treat him as a King, listening to his every word and every command. With the utterance of a single phrase, Akihiko is known for having once convinced an entire ship of Marines to jump overboard in the name of their "King", and can even choose exactly who he wishes to direct his Haoshoku Haki towards. This Haki is a manifestation of his indomitable will, and Akihiko is known to apply this to safeguard his mind from the temptations of others. However, all of this is fun and games assuming a lesser willed individual has not sufficently pissed Akihiko off. For if one has, they should perhaps be prepared to face the consequences, as Akihiko consistently demonstrates the ability to utilize just enough Haki to cause an effect that can only be described as will shattering, possessing a Haki so utterly powerful that no longer does it simply dominate, but if continuously applied and focused on an individual in tandem with Akihiko's own natural levels of killing intent, shatters their will in a similar manner to the Negative Hollows of the Horu Horu No Mi. Easily smashing apart objects in his presence by simply releasing bursts of his Haoshoku Haki, Akihiko has also proven to be capable of developing different effects for those who willingly submitted to him to begin with, as well as release waves of Haoshoku Haki on an enormous level that seemingly causes the very skies to tremble.

Training on Karate Island in the arts of meditation related to his desire to master the martial art that he most proficiently utilizes, Akihiko has proven to gain such incredible skill with the natural manipulation of his spiritual energies and their capabiltiies that he has demonstrated the ability to dominate himself, or rather, dominate and clear his mind of his ego, subjugating every part of his body under one will and goal. With this, Akihiko's thought's become extremely clear and his mind becomes even more accepting of everything going on around him on a level that appears to be completely ridiculous, his body taking in full sensory information despite being in constant motion, not even losing a beat. It is said that this particular technique involves him taking on the true selflessness of a good King, as without his ego, Akihiko can now properly fight without him holding himself back, increasing his already phenomenal skill with Haki to levels both untold and unknown, as with the power of his Haki to begin with it is considered extremely terrifying, to the point most dismiss this particular application as a potential ability of Akihiko's, but it is as real as any, and it's full scale is still unknown, even by himself.

Eyesight
Holding complete mastery over the element of light, Akihiko has demonstrated a capacity for vision that completely blows even most of those with enhanced senses completely out of the water, demonstrating an ability to see compared to that of a certain Paramecia type Devil Fruit said to grant the user the ability to see all things, and to be honest, for his case, one would not be wrong for assuming such a thing. Akihiko naturally possesses the uncanny ability to detect light of all forms and colours, demonstrating the ability to see even things considered to be so incredibly tiny that they might be invisible. Akihiko's incredible vision has been proven time and time again to be remarkably powerful, and has been hailed among the seas as one of the reasons why a single cannonball from his ship is said to be capable of sinking even Marine flagships. Akihiko possesses an uncannny level of vision to begin with, without even getting into the more absurd levels of his vision, as noted when even from several hundreds of nautical miles away Akihiko can see ants carrying a small bit of grape to their colonies industriously, and it is said that if one bathes in the general direction of his vision, he's probably already seen you naked, this particular distance known to be much less than his maximum range of vision. Witnessing the world around him with incredible detail, Akihiko is known for witnessing the incredibly miniscule vibrations objects make even when they are "perfectly stationary" and even each individual pore on someone's body simultaneously over quite an incredible distance. It is said that the limits of Akihiko's vision is unparalleled, as Akihiko has been seen observing incredibly thin razor wire while it is spin about at speeds should usually make it far too fast to be trackable by the human eye. However, Akihiko's eyes are not human eyes, and never exactly were to begin with, Akihiko's eyes demonstrating some of the capabilities of a fish's visual prowess to enable him to perceive even ultraviolet light before ever biting his Devil Fruit. With this vision being so powerful, it is said that Akihiko's glare can actually see into one's soul, ( and technically they would not be wrong). With his already vastly accelerated perceptions, his eyesight has been compared to "Hawkeye" Dracule Mihawk, in that opponents of tremendous speed are still somehow tracked down by his vision with the utmost of ease, even when travelling at speeds that break most human capabiilities.

However, as he has grown, and upon eating his particular Devil Fruit, he realized that in order to perceive himself in his Logia transformation as well as his techniques, his eyes would have had to adjust to be capable of perceiving variable wavelengths of photons, which, upon Awakening his Devil Fruit, apparently occured, as upon first utilizing infrared, he was capable of perceiving his usage of it, but others simply watched on as he boiled water seemingly invisibly. As a result, Akihiko has demonstrated the ability to see the heat presence of any target, as well as the heat of objects and the environment, allowing him to perceive exactly how hot something is without ever touching it or feeling it with extreme precision, and while many believe that hiding in heat or hiding within fire hides themselves from him, Akihiko's vision comes along with such penetrative force that the body's heat presence, which would be lower than the fire itself, stands out quite easily, allowing him to see beings within this level of heat. Of couse, Akihiko can even see their relative lack of heat compared to the environment due to making note of the basic temperature of the area, as well as also pretty much see in the dark at all times and finding targets in an environment said to be completely lack visible light. In addition, Akihiko can see and sense the gamma rays in anything and anyone in the given area, seeing minute trace of this in everone and boosting his power to perceive. In addition, AKihiko can detect most forms of bodily fluids in the area, allowing him yet another layer of sight, seeing the blood and even saliva of beings in his line of sight, even detecting chemicals in specific wavelengths. This allows Akihiko to see underwater and through precipitation, and even perceive fingerprints left on objects.

Other frequencies that he has demonstrated his visual prowess in are those of X-Rays, allowing him to produce a transparent effect to "penetrate" solid objects and see within objects, practically allowing him to see through walls and even clothing, as well as see through organic matter to detect an injury or disease, even physical weaknesses in combat, striking opponents in areas of their weakness and shatter his opponent's bodies and structures. Also, surprisingly, Akihiko can see radio waves and the messages contained in them, allowing him to technically tap into them, breaking into communications over the Den Den Mushi's and over "hearing" everything. Finally, Akihiko can, but not as well as his other perceptions, detect emnations of lightning with his eyesight. It is for this reason that Akihiko's Kenbunshoku Haki is said to be remarkedly powerful.

Intellect
Akihiko possesses quite the amazing bit of intellect, harnessed from years of snooping up on and extracting information from the Marine Organization and World Government on everything from history, to sciences, to even the secrets of the ease of Marine navigation. As a former Marine Lieutenant, Akihiko is quite accustomed to the military strategies and ways of thinking of his opponents, the Marines, and how they would regularly react to most Pirates, and is even aware of whatever forms of experimentation that the Marines may be up to. From knowing where the Marines keep and store their food outside of the Headquarters as well as even learning how to cross the Grand Line safely without ever touching Reverse Mountain, having his crew build a ship with a concealed base of seastone to allow for safe travel through the Grand Line in a manner that avoids all Sea Kings and unnecessary beasts. Time after time, Akihiko has proven to know some small obscure bit of information, and at times, such a quality has proved advantageous and has actually led him to earn victories against numbers and more powerful opponents. Akihiko's intellect in fact is so vast that he can detect the power of Haoshoku Haki in persons by simply observing their personalities or backgrounds until they match up with what he expects, though admittably it is nor always correct, and even at times guess the talent and future heighrs of persons he faces accurately, determing whether or not they should be killed there and then. In addition, Akihiko is also capable of seemingly utilizing any weapon he places his hands on.

To top it all of however, and what makes the world truly admire his intellect, is his knowledge of exactly how Devil Fruits work on an intimate level, from all of their powers to their weaknesses and to even the categorizations and relative rarity of each category of Devil Fruit, and more specifically, his own, Akihiko's Devil Fruit as light itself and how light itself works. Knowing an extreme amount about light and how light actually works, this makes Akihiko incredibly talented with the usage of his Fruit, for several reasons detailed in his Devil Fruit section.

Scientific and Medical Prowess
Akihiko, possessing incredible intelligience, specilaiizes in the arts of science, including medicine, biology and anatomy, as well as physics. Capable of utilizing this great knowledge to revolutionary effect, Akihiko was known to be capable of treating patients while he was as young as eight, as well as learning the types of medicines to give his parents from strange situations when they came home, vastly expanding his knowledge. However, through studying quite a bit of the sea itself, Akihiko learned all about a vast number of the medical condiitons and deficencies one was likely to fall to without the necessary care, such as scurvy and other well known diseases, things that could quite easily wipe out an entire crew when combined with how active and aggressive a life of piracy truly was. Having his knowledge shine in several areas, Akihiko has demonstrated the ability to create incredible powers out of that of his own Devil Fruit, enabling him to accomplish such incredible feats like utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum in combat, as welll as harnessing the colour of his lights with his ability to conquer to create incredibly potent mind-warping effects in the hearts and minds of those who observe them, and is known for seeing the "feelings" of body parts, allowing him to detect injuries his crew might face, which ten enables him to heal them with incredible accuracy, even perceiving the danger that might come to his friends if he might do an incorrect action, enabling him to pull off what would appear to be the most perfect of surgeries and stitch up persons incredibly quickly, apart from being able to constantly keep them revitalized with his incredible powers over light. However, he usually lets his medical talent fall backstage to specialized doctor of the crew, only coming to help when they require additional assistance as their powers of revitalization are in fact even more powerful than his own.

Artistic Talent
Not nearly as extensive as his intellect...TBA

Crew
There are many strong reasons for Akihiko becoming a pirate, but most memorable are the fact that he no longer held the Marines in such a fine light, and that his family, or adopted siblings who had suspicions about Marine behaviour were killed suddenly. It was quite terrifying to observe of course, but Akihiko would gain such a level of hate for the Marines that he would subject himself into their organization, only to learn some of the deepest secrets of the Marines. When he left, Akihiko took the hopes and dreams of everyone that died with him, combining the lingering feeling of vengeance and "justice" that his people had felt with the desire to become a pirate of Michael, his youngest brother, as he began to believe that the only justice one actually had existed in liberation, with Pirates being perhaps the most free individuals on the seas, not restricted by any laws or rules of the World Government.

Upon the formation of his crew, Akihiko has always treated each individual member as if they were both his friends and his family, enjoying himself and having a good time with them like a Peace Main Captain, Akihiko is deeply infatuated with the crew, treating them as the family that he had lost for an extended period of time, and is known as the captain of the crew for putting himself in incredibly dangerous situations to protect a member of his crew, taking on an entire crew of New Worlders by himself to save a certain young blonde-lad from captivity, obliterating their crew members, taking the boy back to his ship, while simultaneously robbing them for the sake of adding insult to injury before they could even blink their eyes for simply a second. Having no real favourites amongst his crew, though there is definitely some amount of chemistry between him and his fellow Golden Child (as well as many other people for them both), Akihiko is considered to be an impartial Captain and disputes amongst the crew are often broght before him to be settled as head of the family. The head of the family, though not exactly a father to any member of the Crew in any sense, but simply to some extent a rolemodel and trailblazing sibling, Akihiko has for all intents and purposes revived the spirit of his past friendship and embedded it into the crew. Akihiko is known for dancing and partying along with his crew when there is a chance for great jubilation, as well as give insight into their techniques and powers and methods for improving them.

Believing that one day his crew will cause ripples across the face of the waters, Akihiko has complete faith in his crew and has an apt knowledge of their capabilities, at times being greater than their own, allowing him to plan and strategize accordingly.

Parents
The two individuals that for the most part, destroyed his childhood and indirectly molded him into the person he would become, Akihiko now hates his parents, and now consquently the Marines due to his parents blindly following the orders fo the Marines, who immediately went into the hiding as quickly as they heard of their son's defection from the Marine Organization, fearing for their own lives. While Akihiro in fact knows where they are, Akihiko has chosen not to pursue them further than he already has on his past occasions, only leaving them injured and hopefully to rot away.

Marines

Trivia

 * Inspiration for Akihiko's incredible mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki is a derivative of Daredevil, a Netflix show that the author should probably get back to binging, and a singular application is based of an advanced technique of Nen, a similar concept in the show Hunter X Hunter to Haki in general, so much so that several techniques from such a universe can be applied to Haki if elaborated on sufficiently.
 * Akihiko's appearance is based off of an artistic rendition of the Space Pirate Captain Harlock, and while not done intentionally, some portion of his origins, as well as his incredible charisma and perceived handsomeness is a derivative of that.
 * The names of several lore related concepts in Akihiko's backstory are directly taken from concepts and locations related to the author's home country, as the author's home country itself has been indirectly referenced by the plot line of One Piece, and the author thought it would be interesting to put in quite a bit more information. While Bagnara refers to an Italian municipality, Akihiko's home kingdom came from an Island Resort, situated amongst 365 islands within a single river, and has also derived a bit of it's epithet from this basis. However, the concept of the Dorado came more from the fact that the author's country was said to formerly be the home of the fabled treasure known as El Dorado, the City of Gold, as explorers homed in on the particular country as time went by. This City of Gold, referenced both in the One Piece: Gold film, as well as in the story of Montblanc Norland, formed the basis for the name of the lands of the Kingdom, said to be quite rich and similarly perceived as lucrative. The waters are named the Osimiri due to the presence of the Urusirima village, and the author basically just played with the sounds of the village name to make the Osimiri (which, apparently happens to be a real river).
