Blue Blood

## Stats

**Blue Blood**, also known as Arthur, was a Yonkou at the time of the campaign and a former member of Roger's crew.

## **Appearance**

He appeared old and grizzled. He wore lavish cerulean robes that are wrapped around polished armor. He also wore a crown and his eyes radiated a hot, bright, blue light. He has a deflated and an inflated form. In his deflated form, he looked like a frail old man. In his inflated form, his muscles really bulged.

In his youth, he had long blond hair.

## **Personality**

He seemed to be obsessed with possessing territory and resources. He does not tolerate disappointment and seems to only allow a single failure. He wants his subjects to address him only as "your majesty". In addition to this, he is a patron of Ragnar Industries (a cannibal) and in general has a view of human life as a resource to be consumed. He forcibly impregnates women to produce offspring. Blue blooded offspring are "juiced" for their blood, while red blooded offspring are sold off as either slaves or human meat. He despises weakness.

He seemed more friendly and outgoing in the past, offering the crew a place to rest during the time loop.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

#### Overview

He was a Yonko around the start of the Great Pirate era, meaning that he has incredible authority within the New World, and an insane level of personal power. As a side effect of some power, his eyes can radiate blue light. A testament to his ability is that he was able to kill a crew mate on Roger's ship and get away with it for a few years.

#### Blue Blood

Blue Blood is the trait of his lost tribe. It gives him his eponymous blue blood. As such, a portion of his children can be born with this trait. When his blood is injected into another person, they considerably bulk up. doubling their health and damage. Chronic use can result in graying hair and enhanced aggression. It seems that muscles gained by the use of this substance rapidly deflate when suffering from withdrawals. Offspring with blue blood seem to have the ability to improve their accuracy in addition to strength, as seen with Jimmy. According to Doxie, there is no coming back from the effects of this drug after its use. Blue Blood himself seems to be heterozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for this gene, as there are children who are born red blooded, implying that he has a recessive red blood gene. Most likely the former, or else approximately 1 out of every 4 red-blooded person would have blue-blood. The color of the blood is described to be indistinguishable from water, but will stain things just like ordinary blood. Given the context, this would imply some shade of azure rather than turquoise. It was stated in a pre-stream chat that blue blood would temporarily cure or relieve an illness such as cancer. However, when the effects wear off, then the illness would come back many times more severe.

#### Influence

Anyone coming into the New World will eventually fall under his or a Yonko's territory. Blue Blood controlled a series of islands around and including Ragnar Island. Blue Blood had a vast influence as a Yonko.

He had 4 commanders, among which were 2 mythical zoans and 1 logia.

He had control over a small collection of islands in the New World. This territory is also fortified to the point that most invaders will be repelled by his defenses and underlings without ever reaching it. Ragnar Island is one of his territories and his main island is known simply as The Throne

However, he was losing territory to the remnants of the Rocks Pirates. After his death, the Marines took over the island for the government.

#### Physical Strength

Blue Blood was described by Rustage to be the strongest man alive in terms of raw strength. However, because he lacks any form of advanced Haki, he isn't the strongest man alive in terms of fighting ability. Blue Blood punches do 24d6+10 damage per punch (+18 to hit).

#### Mysterious Healing Power

After killing Louis Le'cloque, Blue Blood Is seen healing some of his wounds by an unknown method. He presumably did the same thing after his fight with admiral Barry, as the brick man commented that he was at death's door when they had fought.

#### Haki

Blue Blood has demonstrated access to Armament Haki, but not Observation Haki and more interestingly Conqueror's Haki making him the first Emperor known to not have the ability.

## **Relationships**

### Devil's Luck Pirates

They have gone against his plan to take over the Oasis, presumably angering him. He wanted to eat them specifically, but it seems that this plan was put into motion before the Oasis coup, given that Dane was offering access to the New World while Big Top was still alive. Possibly due to killing the Aeons. He wanted Ragnar IV to deliver them to him as meat. Ragnar in particular hates him due in part to corrupting his son. While stuck in a time loop, the crew encountered a man named Arthur who seems to be a younger version of the monarch. Arthur was charmed and attracted to William.

#### Jester

An underling that has disappointed him once. He considers him a worm.

#### **Hooded Figure**

Somebody younger than him wearing a hood and boots that kicks and stomps people for him.

#### **Seraph**

A commander of his who he trusted to take down Ragnar Inc with a fleet. He sired Doxie with her.

#### **The Black Knight, Lord Marshall**

Newest commander to join the crew. Given that the crew saw all the commanders, he was on a ship sending out blue flames to burn down fire for his master.

#### **Kasparov**

The weakest of his commanders. Presumably, as chancellor, he is in charge of communications within his territory.

#### **Rocks Pirates**

Hates the remnants for taking away his territory.

#### **Ragnar IV**

Blue Blood and Ragnar IV seemed to have had a business relationship that seemed short and adversarial. Ragnar supplied Blue Blood with long pork, while Blue Blood gave Ragnar his patronage as a Yonko, which included his blue blood. Page seemed to have been a plant by the monarch to watch over Ragnar's industry. At some point, Ragnar missed some payments, prompting Blue Blood to send over a fleet of ships to Ragnar's island in order to ransack it.

#### **Page**

Kept her as Ragnar IV's head of acquisitions (kidnapping people to kill and butcher) by keeping her daughter hostage

#### **Roger Pirates**

Was a member, but killed another crew member and was kicked off before the final voyage to Laugh Tale.

#### **Bastards**

Jimmy and Doxie are two examples of countless children that he has brought into the world in the hopes of laundering his blood. The Oasis, as an attraction point of orphans, contains many bastards. this might have been why he wanted it so badly. He probably does not see Doxie as a bastard because she was sired by Seraph.

## **History**

He is an old man that has been ruling over territory in the New World for many years. He was an alien of some planet that was probably not Planet Duros. Given what he has said, he presumes that the rest of his race has been wiped out. A few hundred years ago, he came to the Planet of Blue in order to find the first devil fruit. In his territory, he thought that he could find it. He was a former member of the Roger pirates, but was kicked off for violence before their final voyage to Raftel. Recently, former members of the Rocks Pirates have been taking over some of his territory. Blue Blood sent Jester to infiltrate the Aeons and later try and take over the Oasis. Both of these attempts were thwarted by Devil's Luck Pirates.

After pissing off the crew, he was beaten in a drawn out fight ending with both him and Louis as puddles of different colors. His puddle was later scooped up by Ragnar and corked in a barrel.

After their encounter with the Fourth Brother, the crew possibly encountered a younger, alternate timeline version of him. This iteration kindly welcomed the crew and informed them of the situation. In two time loops, William was able to charm him.

The tribe's culture was a monarchy, of which Arthur was a prince. They had a Fruit of Life, which they worshipped as a holy relic. Every year, they had a holiday analogous to Christmas known as Fruitmas. They had mead, implying some level of apiculture. They are self-proclaimed to have been a very prideful people. As well, they are willing to take drastic measures to protect their culture such as planning to invade an unknown enemy over the theft of their relic.
