Umiyuri is a marine vice admiral and a Seatuber known by the alias Cachalot. She acts as the commanding officer of the Beast Brigade and the project lead of Project Animalia. She is also the younger sister of Suzuran and an old acquaintance of Henry Benjamin, having once served in the same unit.

Appearance

Umiyuri is a fit, young woman, with light skin, red eyes, and long, hip-length, white hair. She generally dresses in a white shirt with a black skirt and leggings and a scarf. Similarly to Henry Benjamin, her marine coat is dark in color, with her instead wearing a black one instead of the normal white.

Personality

Umiyuri is a playful individual, teasing Benjamin and being somewhat annoying to him, even when worrying about being attacked while on a mission. She can be easily annoyed by extra work, groaning when Benjamin volunteered her for a particular task during a mission, but is otherwise jovial and easygoing. However, her more jovial traits can go completely out the window when met with someone she detests. This causes her to become far more belligerent, singling in on the person or thing that earned her ire. So far, she has only displayed this drastic change when meeting Joplin Joan and to a lesser extent when mad at Harley for giving her a faulty invention to fight with right before a mission.

She has a genuine love and appreciation for music, even having her ship modified to include a recording studio and have hidden speakers throughout it for live concerts. As a matter of fact, her hatred for Joan is generally attributed to the pirate's higher ratings. However, even this level of disdain can be calmed by Umiyuri singing, which can serve to air out any of her frustrations. After giving Joan a "private concert", she seemed to mellow out immediately after the performance was done, although Joan had also complimented her voice.

Relationships

Marines

Henry Benjamin

Benjamin and Umiyuri have history with one another, having served in the same marine unit at a younger age, and are close friends as a result. Umiyuri constantly teases him and plays with him, poking him incessantly to try to bother him and saying that he didn't have the right to boss her around because he made commodore before she had. While Benjamin is obviously annoyed by these acts, he otherwise enjoys her company. She seems to be able to make him do things he ordinarily wouldn't do, even getting him to play keyboard at one of her upcoming concerts. They make sure to take a day of leave off once a year to see each other and catch up, alongside Kakuzu.

Suzuran

Suzuran is Umiyuri's older sister. The two share a close and affectionate bond. Even though they share differing personalities, with Umiyuri's carefree and playful attitude contrasting more with Suzuran's by-the-books demeanor, they still are rather close. Umiyuri did not hesitate to give her a hug when seeing her again, one which Suzuran returned with no hesitation. The two refer to each other by nicknames; Suzuran calls Umiyuri Miyu, and Umiyuri likewise calls Suzuran Suzu.

Kakuzu

Umiyuri and Kakuzu served in the same unit, alongside Benjamin. As such, they are old friends as well. Kakuzu is often disappointed by being unable to spend time with them due to his father constantly denying his leave and assignment requests. She meets with him and Benjamin once a year as a part of an agreement they made to catch up. Umiyuri shows a high level of affection for Kakuzu, immediately giving him a sweet hug when they were alone when he was visiting Punk Hazard.

Pirates

Joplin Joan

Despite having never met her before the events on Robben Island, Umiyuri has a bewildering, yet strong hatred for Joplin Joan, going as far as to lessen the effect of her sperm whale shouts so that, instead of outright paralyzing her, she'd have the opportunity to beat her to death instead. While her hatred isn't all-encompassing, still having the focus to assist her allies in combat, even when Joan's involved, it is still rather high. It was soon revealed that this hatred stems from Joan's higher and faster achieved popularity on Den Den Tube in comparison to Umiyuri. As such, she considers her a rival she wishes to surpass. Joan's own greater popularity simply infuriates the more emotional marine. However, after their fight at the Isle of Dingoes, their relationship seemed to become one of more begrudgingly respect as opposed to utter hatred, with each of them recognizing the talent the other possessed.

Harley

As with Benjamin, Umiyuri was in the same unit as Harley when they were younger. Despite getting rather belligerent and peeved with him, she still seemed to care for him, at least a little bit. She views his defection from the marines and joining the Reaper Pirates to be a massive betrayal and can't fathom why he would do such a thing.

Other

Ais Eis Bebe

While Bebe seems to view them as good friends, Umiyuri does not. She does not have any animosity towards Bebe, but simply doesn't consider her a comrade. On the other hand, Bebe views that as friends simply because she supplies the Beast Brigade with Soldier Pills. Even so, Umiyuri was confident enough in Bebe's skillset to hire her to work on Project Animalia.

Abilities and Powers

As a captain of the marines, Umiyuri has authority over all lower-ranking subordinates. She is known to be a particularly powerful marine, as she was handpicked to be a part of the team that assaulted Robben Island to arrest the rookie pirates there. Her specialty in combat is stated to be "crowd control", meaning that she is quite skilled at taking on multiple opponents at the same time, mostly through the use of her equipment, and was able to go toe-to-toe with Joplin Joan following the pirate's visit to the Clear Sea.

Physical Abilities

While her general abilities with her tools are quite noteworthy, Umiyuri also possesses a fair degree of physical talent. She was capable of reacting to and stopping an attack aimed at her from behind from an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit user. Her strength, augmented by her own Devil Fruit allowed her to be physically comparable to both Joplin Joan and Roadie. She is also quite light on her feet, even in her hybrid Zoan form, using dance moves and musical timing to be able to dodge incoming attacks if her Spermaceti can't intercept them for her. Her durability and endurance is rather impressive, capable of taking a fair amount of fire and heat damage in particular due to special training with Varanus Fang.

Umiyuri also has a high tolerance for alcohol. While she claims this is a product of her Devil Fruit, she has been seen drinking without it active, so this is likely a jest.

Devil Fruit

Further information: Kuji Kuji no Mi, Model: Sperm Whale

Umiyuri ate the Kuji Kuji no Mi, Model: Sperm Whale, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that gives her the ability to transform into a sperm whale and sperm whale hybrid at will. Like all Zoan fruits, this grants Umiyuri enhanced physicality, namely drastically enhanced physical strength and durability (through her thick whale skin and musculature), to the point where she could stop a punch from an Ancient Zoan user that was intended to knock her out and block Joplin Joan's Rawkfist (albeit the heat and progressive pressure caused her skin to burn and gradually push her back). Of course, her offensive capabilities are also great, allowing her to deal ample damage to Joan while in an empowered state. Her battering ram-like head is particularly powerful, capable of dealing great damage while protecting her from concussions or other forms of brain trauma. Her resistance to cold and cold-based attacks is also enhanced due to the blubber of her sperm whale forms, in addition to a general resistance to sonic attacks. As a Carnivorous Zoan, Umiyuri's battle instincts are also more well-refined than regular Zoan fruit users.

However, her most useful ability is her hypersonic waves and the general loudness of her voice. The sperm whale is considered the loudest animal on the planet, with hypersonic waves capable of paralyzing their massive prey. In addition, Umiyuri produces enough sound that it can kill a normal human at close range, if not simply rattle their insides and burst their eardrums. The vibration can also cause people's insides to heat up. She often uses weaker versions of her blasts at close range to act as a sort of forcefield against stronger attacks and paralyze opponents. Despite being a scaled down version of a sperm whale, Umiyuri's shouts are still just as loud and as powerful as the full-sized animal. Umiyuri can also use her hypersonic waves for echolocation, with the loud sounds of her hybrid form working over an incredibly wide distance, enough to map out an entire island. Additionally, these clicks can be made to track opponents, allowing her to know their location even if hidden or attacking from behind, something especially useful considering that her attacks can still move through liquids and solids, albeit with somewhat reduced power (but increased speed).

Upon eating a Soldier Pill, Umiyuri is granted an additional transformation. While it gives several of the same physical abilities of a sperm whale, including enhanced muscle mass and gray skin, the appearance of the transformation is much closer to Umiyuri's human form than her normal hybrid transformation. She refers to this transformation as her Concert Mode. The transformation grants her unique vocalizations, allowing her to do more than simply harm her target with powerful shouts. So far, she's demonstrated the ability to cause immediate and extreme drowsiness and blinding rage with her sonic attacks.

Equipment

Further information: Spermaceti

Umiyuri uses a series of devices dubbed Spermaceti, a combination of two types of Dials; Sound Dials and Jet Dials. The Jet Dials hold wind, and due to the manner they expel air, they are capable of moving incredibly quickly through the air. The speed they are capable of moving at, coupled with their hardness, is comparable to a rocket allowing them easily damage people with their high speed movement and lift them off the ground to carry them. However, the primary weapons in each Spermaceti are the Sound Dials. Umiyuri uses these to collect her incredibly loud sperm whale clicks and attack her targets with them from a distance. The Spermaceti have a few different settings; spreading the sound out over a wider area or focusing it into more of a beam to attack singular opponents for attack methods, but also using different levels of sound to rattle insides, cause temporary paralysis, hit with sheer kinetic force, or damage hearing, or even just cause migraines. These are so effective that they were capable of holding back a large amount of Archons, as well as paralyzing Muramasa Kazuko with a weaker blast. Additionally, they can be used in tandem to generate even louder calls, overpowering attacks or defenses that a singular Spermaceti could not. The Spermaceti are designed to respond to the sound of Umiyuri's sperm whale clicks, allowing her to control their trajectory and overall power from a far distance. The only effective countermeasure against the cries have been equally as powerful vibrations.

Additionally, Umiyuri possesses a pair of boots implanted with Sound Dials, enabling her to fly through the air with concentrated bursts of sound, acting as a stand-in for Geppo.

Umiyuri lastly carries a case of Soldier Pills to grant her an additional Zoan transformation while in combat.

History

Past

Years ago, Umiyuri was put in a unit under Varanus Fang, alongside Henry Benjamin, Kakuzu, Harley, Erron, and Bolt. Prior to a mission, Harley had created Umiyuri's Spermaceti, but the prototypes broke after only a few uses, forcing her and Erron to fend off a large amount of pirates, taking out around fifty of them before retreating. Arriving back at the bunker where the rest of their unit was, Umiyuri chastised Harley for his faulted invention. Harley didn't seem perturbed by this and asked if she could retrieve the prototype from the battlefield. Before Umiyuri could get angrier at him, pirates ripped the roof off their bunker and prepared to execute them. Fortunately, before any of them were attacked, Fang arrived and executed all of the pirates.

After one training session with Fang to increase her heat tolerance, Umiyuri questioned why she wasn't being trained in Rokushiki. Fang elaborated that she had no aptitude for Rokushiki, but assured her that there were other ways to fight, mentioning how Harley built her Spermaceti. Umiyuri begrudgingly agreed and the two returned to training, hoping to overcome her weaknesses.

At some point, Umiyuri attended the Hell Week Training Program alongside Benjamin, training under Marduk.

After Fang left the marines and became a bounty hunter, Umiyuri and Benjamin were reassigned to Vice Admiral Marduk, being the only ones in their unit to stay together. After Benjamin was promoted to captain, he was granted his own unit and command, sent to a marine base to meet his new second-in-command. Umiyuri was permitted to head to shore to bid him farewell, with Umiyuri saying that, because his new officer was his sister, they'd get along well. It wasn't long before Suzuran, came up to greet them, introducing herself to Benjamin. After Benjamin said that she could be less formal, Umiyuri excitedly greeted her sister, hugging her and saying that she and Benjamin would get along (as they were both buzzkills).

Rising Rookies Saga

The Island of Dr. Kazuko

Umiyuri was dispatched as a part of a fleet of marines led by Fukushima Kijuro to Robben Island. While preparing for the invasion, Umiyuri began to poke Benjamin, who attempted to ignore her, although it didn't last very long. Umiyuri informed Benjamin that there was group of experiments from the island headed their way, which Benjamin quickly relayed to Kijuro who handily dispatched of the creatures. Umiyuri and Benjamin then headed over to Benjamin's ship in order to better prepare for the assault to come.

Not long after, an avatar of Kazuko arrived and attacked the marines, destroying two of their ships, although his assault was halted by Kijuro and Onikami Suto of CP7. Taking advantage of the hole made by Kijuro, Benjamin attacked the avatar while Umiyuri immobilized him with her Spermaceti, also using them to keep the Archons at bay. Suzuran and Logan also joined in, allowing them to easily dispatch the avatar. He attempted a suicide bomb to take out his enemies, however, this was stopped by Kijuro. Benjamin then ordered Umiyuri to accompany him to fight some of the pirates outside of Kazuko's board, in order to stop them from escaping. Umiyuri was annoyed by the mission, but followed him regardless.

Soon, Umiyuri and Benjamin landed on Robben Island, with Benjamin attacking Gray right off the bat. Umiyuri arrived shortly afterwards, angrily proclaiming that she'd be the one to defeat Joplin Joan. After Benjamin attacked Anna, Umiyuri assisted him in battle when Marlin Globo attempted to attack from behind, as well as engaging Roadie who attacked her, thus setting off the battle between the three groups. Umiyuri soon found herself directly confronting Joplin Joan, shouting at the pirate captain how much she hated her, much to her confusion.

The battle was soon interrupted by a call from Uriel, telling the marines to retreat as Umori Kenshiro had arrived. Benjamin attempted to escape Anna, who had wrapped her whip around Benjamin's wrist and was currently electrocuting him, but she refused to do so. In response, Benjamin used a brief burst of Haoshoku Haki, intimidating the Sea-Star Pirates' co-captain, and giving Umiyuri and opening to attack her. As Umiyuri and Benjamin headed back to the shore, his companion asked him if he was okay. While Benjamin affirmed that he had not suffered too much physical damage, Umiyuri quietly said that that wasn't what she had meant.

After a majority of the pirates managed to escape, Benjamin and Umiyuri were doing rounds on Robben Island, checking to see if there were any other leftover pirates or experiments. Umiyuri jokingly said to remind her to not work with CP7 again (as Suto had sunken part of the island in a fight with Kenshiro), prompting Benjamin to say that her joke wasn't funny. Taking on a more serious expression, Umiyuri asked if Kenshiro was the one that Harley had run off with, which Benjamin confirmed. When Umiyuri asked what they'd do about it, Benjamin said that they would simply continue doing their job.

The pair then arrived back at their temporary base camp for a meeting with the other officers, informing Kijuro that the island had been cleared. However, not long after, the Goldie Gold began to drop a massive lightning ball on the island to destroy it. Umiyuri attempted to slow the orb's descent with her Spermaceti, alongside Kijuro and Suto, but her efforts proved to be for naught, as the island was destroyed anyway, with Umiyuri in particular barely managing to escape.

Grand Tour Saga

Dog Eat Dog

Umiyuri had been deployed during Hell Week, the New Year's celebrations that led to an uptick in piracy during the time frame. Having managed to quickly squash some pirate activity on a nearby island, Umiyuri had been given enough time to get in a recording session. However, a seaman recruit informed Umiyuri's officers that they had spotted the ship of the Sea-Star Pirates nearby. As a result, the marines changed course in order to go track them down.

After arriving at the Isle of Dingoes, where the Sea-Star Pirates were, Umiyuri dispatched her officers, planning on stopping the pirates from communicating with their crew on the Bad Reputation and stopping them from regrouping. Umiyuri made an announcement to the pirates, threatening them to stand down before deploying her officers and Spermaceti. When Esca and Crock arrived before the Sea-Star Pirates, they once again reiterated the crew's need to surrender, with Crock going on about Umiyuri's personal vendetta with the crew. However, Umiyuri, easily hearing this, shouted at her officers to shut up and arrest the pirates.

The Sea-Stars predictably rejected the offer to surrender, prompting Crock to step forward to prepare to fight. However, Esca, stopped her, instead saying that Umiyuri should start things off, with Umiyuri's Spermaceti moving to surround the pirates and blast them with powerful sound waves. The pirates were able to knock away the Spermaceti, so Umiyuri began to bide her time as her unit fought the pirates. When it seemed as though the Sea-Star Pirates had gained the upper hand, Umiyuri struck with her Spermaceti, holding down Tony Gray and Roadie while she attempted to drag off Joan with one of them. Joan decided to go willingly in order to face Umiyuri, herself, but soon found that she was also bringing a friendly dingo along with her as a hitchhiker.

While the battle was ongoing, Umiyuri received a call from Toran with an update on her progress in regards to boarding the Bad Reputation. Umiyuri then instructed Toran to capture any pirates on the ship and continue to jam their communications while preventing the ship from leaving the island.

As Umiyuri began to reel in Joan on her Spermaceti, she wondered aloud what was making the Spermaceti heavier, soon realizing that a dingo had hopped along for the ride. She then ordered her men to prepare for Joan's arrival so that they could take her into custody. When the Spermaceti returned with Joan, Umiyuri stated that she was certain Joan hadn't arrived to simply turn herself in and prepared to fight, only to soon notice the dingo accompanying Joan. Finding it adorable, Umiyuri brought it down to her to pet it, but the dingo soon bit her hand, causing Umiyuri to kick it in response and angrily ordered her men to muzzle it. Joan caught the dingo before it could slam into the mast and threatened the soldiers present from approaching, Stating that the dingo was just able to tell her personality was garbage and referring to Umiyuri as "Urine". This got a rise out of her, who activated her hybrid transformation. Saying that Joan hadn't seen any of her performances yet, she offered to give her a "private concert" and began attacking using her hypersonic waves while singing and dancing.

Joan attempted to strike Umiyuri, but her dance moves allowed her a simple, yet dexterous, way to avoid damage while simultaneously countering with her Spermaceti. This forced Joan into the bowels of the Beast Brigade's ship and focus on taking out the weaker marines first, but Umiyuri was still able to track her using echolocation and attack, even through the walls. During the fight, however, Joan noticed that Umiyuri had used none of the Rokushiki techniques common amongst World Government agents, even asking in the middle of her "performance" if she could even do them, earning an angry glance from Umiyuri as she continued her assault.

With Umiyuri's song coming to an end, she began to go all out in her method of attack. However, in response, Joan began performing her own song to counteract the marine officer's own "concert". This earned further ire from Umiyuri, who started doing her best to overpower the musical pirate. While their clash ultimately ended in a draw as the song ended, Umiyuri asked what Joan thought of her performance, having calmed down considerably. Joan admitted that Umiyuri had a good voice, and mentally compared her to Bessonova Anna, but said that she still hadn't finished her own song yet. Eating one of her Soldier Pills and entering her Concert Mode, Umiyuri said she had heard Joan's music before, but always preferred live concerts, entering a defensive formation with her Spermaceti. In response, Joan continued her song as she activated her Trailblazer form.

While Joan's assault (and music) was relentless, Umiyuri managed to use her Concert Mode's unique vocalizations and her Spermaceti to stay in the game. Eventually, the fight shifted away from a musical battle into more of a drag-out brawl, with the two musicians fighting in close quarters with each other. However, as Joan started to get the upper hand by lighting Joan on fire, Umiyuri managed to power through it thanks to her training in heat resistance to cover her mouth and slam her into the deck. Joan broke through the deck, delirious and having trouble even standing, but continued her concert. Umiyuri followed her down, but rather than ending the fight instantly, Umiyuri decided to allow the pirate captain to continue her song, only ready to finish the fight if Joan attacked first or her "concert" otherwise ended.

Joan said that they were reaching the climax and told Umiyuri to give her everything she had. The marine captain even began to sing along, realizing how talented the pirate was, but before she could deliver her punch, she was attacked by the dingo that her bit her earlier. Although she managed to shake it off, she soon realized that the dingo had defeated all of her men. Taking advantage of the distraction, Joan managing to hit her in the gut with a devastating attack with her guitar, unleashing a sonic attack she had earlier absorbed from Umiyuri and amplified with her Resonance Dials. Umiyuri managed to hit her back with a simultaneous sperm whale call, but was still defeated nonetheless.

A few days after the battle against the Sea-Star Pirates, Umiyuri seemed to be in a bit of slump. Her other officers in the Beast Brigade arrived in her quarters telling her that they had good news and bad news. It was revealed that the good news was that, despite them appearing in a music video made by the Sea-Stars, this actually was generally beneficial to Umiyuri's own SeaTube account, tripling their viewership. However, the bad news was that Umiyuri's former superior, Vice Admiral Marduk, was on the line and expecting a report from her.

Demon Days

Having received an SOS message from the island of Salem, Umiyuri and the Beast Brigade were sent to said island render aid as part of a joint operation with the Iron Curtain considering the direness of the situation. After Benjamin's briefing to the officers, Umiyuri scooted over to Suzuran on a rolling chair to greet her older sister. Suzuran reciprocated her sentiment, asking her how her channel had been doing. This caused conflicted feelings in Umiyuri, as her channel had been doing better but because of the unexpected altercation she had with Joplin Joan and the Sea-Star Pirates. Suzuran told her not to be discouraged, but Umiyuri stated that she was motivated to capture all of those pirates and turn the video into a music video. miyuri then suddenly asked Benjamin when they were going to have another jam session. While Benjamin asked her if she was serious (which she obviously was), Benjamin agreed to have a jam session after their mission if they weren't immediately reassigned.

Upon arriving on Salem, Umiyuri bore witness to the destruction that had happened at the village, quickly realizing that they were too late. Umiyuri was dispatched to conduct search and rescue using her Spermaceti and echolocation. She attempted to reassure herself that there were still people to save, but soon just as quickly believed that she was merely deceiving herself. After a mutated Baskerville (a large, predatory canine native to the island) attacked Suzuran and called for its pack, Benjamin ordered Umiyuri to put up a barrier using her Spermaceti. While she obliged, she was unsure if her sound waves would keep them at bay due being unfamiliar with their physiology and what frequencies would bother them the most.

After fighting for some time, Umiyuri's Spermaceti had their noise muffled by an attacking group of giant mosquitoes, allowing the Baskervilles to get through their defenses. She and the rest of the marines present continued to fend off the creatures until an opening presented itself, allowing her to set off a massive shout that killed many of the mosquitoes and drove away the rest of the creatures. Benjamin stated that the attack seemed more coordinated and planned rather than random, and he intended for them to get to the bottom of who destroyed the town on Salem, something Umiyuri agreed with.

Hell Week

Umiyuri met with her old friends, Benjamin and Kakuzu, for their annual leave time meetup. Umiyuri and Kakuzu asked how Benjamin being the trainer for the Hell Week Training Program had been, with Benjamin saying they had run him through his paces before immediately amending that to mean that they were more emotional trials than physical. Kakuzu remised how he was angry his father prevented him from going to Hell Week the year Benjamin and Umiyuri were trained by Marduk just so that he could handle his training the following. They then congratulated Benjamin for his quick ascent to vice admiral, even saying that he might make admiral soon. Although, Benjamin was hesitant to believe that would be a possibility.

Umiyuri then reminded Benjamin of her upcoming concert (something that Kakuzu remembered he would be unable to attend in person), with Benjamin happily saying he had received leave time for the event. Umiyuri asked him if he could play keyboard at her concert, with Benjamin giving in and recognizing that she had planned to meet him in person to ask the question so he couldn't say no. Before things could go on, Benjamin received a call, telling him that they had located Godfrey Alexander. Benjamin bid his friends farewell before leaving to handle the matter.

Bite Back

Umiyuri was able to petition to become the project lead on an initiative using Dr. Vegapunk's research on artificial Devil Fruits, with this project later becoming known as Project Animalia. Being unable to find a scientist within the skillset necessary, she instead hired Ais Eis Bebe and Blizzard Inc. for the job, relocating her unit and Bebe to Punk Hazard for the project's duration. As the project neared its completion, Umiyuri requested vice admirals Tsurugi and Marduk to come to the island for an inspection.

After the vice admirals were brought to the base, Umiyuri greeted them and relieved Asimov of his guide duties. Explaining her interest in Zoan Devil Fruits, Tsurugi and Marduk were able to correctly guess the secret project she had been working on, with Umiyuri soon after taking them to a hydraulically sealed room to meet Bebe. The chemist had been embarrassingly dealing with her giant river otter security team, but Umiyuri, Bebe, and Zacharius were able to soon explain the purpose of the project: to improve the quality of the marines' soldiers. It was also explained that Marduk and Tsurugi were specifically requested so that they could train new fruit users in how to use their abilities, with Tsurugi in particular being offered the opportunity to catch any deserters.

After Zacharius began to take the older vice admirals on a tour through the facility, Umiyuri stayed behind with Kakuzu, immediately embracing him in a tight hug. Saying she didn't expect to see him so soon again, he agreed to go on a personal tour with her instead of with the others.
