Anthrax Slayer/Behind the Scenes

==Origin==
It's a common-known fact within the 3WSR community that 1,000 Eyes, also known as Diesel 11, likes the music genre of metal. Thus, when he came to the other writers and asked them for a pirate name, one of them gave him "Anthrax Slayer, the Megadeath of the Metallica Seas". (Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, and Metallica are all members of the Big 4 of thrash metal.)
Eyes liked the name, and created Anthrax Slayer based around it.
==The F***ing Slayer==
Slayer's fighting technique known as the "F***ing Slayer" is based off of two things. Firstly, the name is based off of a nickname given to the band Slayer; oftentimes fans will call them "F***ing Slayer" as a show of how "badass" they consider the band to be.
The actual technique is based off of Santoryu, or "Three Sword Style", the fighting technique created and mastered by Roronoa Zoro in the manga and anime One Piece. Santoryu is fought when a person holds a katana in each hand and one in their mouth; simply, the "F***ing Slayer" utilizes two extra swords.
==Why Did Slayer Become The Next Leader?==
If you noticed in The Game, Anthrax Slayer was only the second mate of the PIC; Andrew Deathbringer was the first mate. This brings up an interesting question - why exactly did Slayer become the next leader when Essex died?
Outside of The Game canon, the conundrum happened likely do to Toz thinking Slayer was the second-in-command; after all, he is arguably their most prominent member. That said, there's also a canon explanation as well.
Deathbringer is a fairly silent person, and not much of a leader, though a wise and skillful fighter. Slayer, on the other hand, has an inspiring, "call to arms" personality, and is a born leader. Thus, while Deathbringer remains the first mate, it was always intended that Slayer would succeed Essex - and if Deathbringer minds, he certainly doesn't say anything about it.
