Fukushima Kijuro

Fukushima Kijuro, is a Marine Captain, and a former member of the Kuroumi. After several years serving under the Special Operations Unit, Kijuro decided to step back and join the regular Marine ranks, returning to his previous rank as Captain.

Around the time he joined the Kuroumi eight-years ago, Kijuro consumed an artificial logia, known as ACE, which caused his life to be in great danger and causes him intense suffering to this day, after his stomach literally burst out of his skin, almost causing him death. But he was treated and intense training under Hale Osiris made it possible for Kijuro to tame his power and find a way to control it. However, he must undergo treatment every once in a while as his injury still affects him, causing him to always have a doctor near him. A sacrifice he's accepted to deal with in order to have obtained incredible power.

When Kijuro returned to the regular corps, he requested to be stationed in the first half of the Grand Line, as he wanted to deter and crush rookie pirates from advancing and gaining power. Recently, however, he was moved back to a base in the, as his exceptional skills would be of better use in these tougher seas.

Appearance
Fukushima Kijuro's attire is quite different than other Marines. Instead of the standard white Marine coat, he uses a black coat and a dark blue uniform, reminiscent of his days as a Special Ops. He's always seen either wearing or carrying a pair of specially designed gloves, which he uses in order to better control his power.

Devil Fruit
Kijuro consumed one of the rare artificial logia devil fruits, known as an ACE. He ate the Raiton no Ēsu, an artifial variant of the, giving Kijuro the ability to control and manipulate the element of lightning.

Kijuro's journey with his Devil Fruit has been a tough one. After he endured the painful and life threatening procedure after he consumed it, he later had to tame the wild power, as his lightning bolts just spread out of control, affecting others and even himself. Turning to his element was a painful process, as his body ached to the cellular level for a while. Hale Osiris had the Science Unit develop a set of special gloves that enabled Kijuro to control the output of his powers, as at first the lightning he shot from his hands bounced back to his body, which at the time he didn't had the reflexes to change to the element yet, as it takes a much longer period of adjustment than a regular Logia.

But even after he mastered his powers, he still retains his gloves as a way to feel in control of his devastating lightning ability. Kijuro often employs his ability by producing smaller, concentrated bursts of lightning and lightning bolts, by snapping his fingers or shooting them from his finger tips. However, if forced to, he may shoot large beams of lightning or turn into the element itself, as previous holders of the are capable off.

Weaknessess
As stated before, Kijuro trained harshly in order to control the output of his powers, and prevent the damage it caused to others and himself. However, his stomach injury still affects him from time to time, as apparently, it was the one body part that didn't assimilate with his devil fruit. As such, in battle, the times he may force his whole body to become lightning are limited, as it may cause him internal bleeding and agonizing pain. For this reason, Kijuro prefers to dodge attacks by either only turning intangible the rest of his body, not including the left part of his abdomen, or by actually blocking or moving from the attack's way.
