Marilyn

**"Puppet Empress" Marilyn** is one of the The Eight Warlords of the Sea and one of the most influential figures within both the public eye, as the benefactor and owner of the **Fantoche Lotus Theatre** where

she hosts her puppet plays and re-enactments of past events for the masse; and in the Underground as a Seller of her unquie puppets to the highest bidder. She was the second of the Warlords to be mentioned within the World of Aftermath and the **First one to make a phsyical appearence (*excluding Keerg who was not made a Warlord until far later)*,** appearing before the Wolven Pirates on Keerg's ship "**The Levithan"** when the group were investigating the ship for clues.

## Personality

She is quite an envious woman; desiring what others have, coveting it for her own. She is a tad bit possessive of what belongs to her; willing to do whatever it takes to ensure it returns to her. She has even bought the rights to the corpses of alive individuals so that when they perish; they belong to her, and can serve in her theatre.

## History

Not much is known about Marilyn's past, or how she became a Warlord, other than the fact she came up to the government to request a position of Warlord with an offer they could not refuse.(The Puppet Corpse of Kaido) As it stands at the moment, she was the second oldest active warlord now the oldest, she was just below Plague prior to his abdication of his Warlord Status. Her Agreements with the marines allow her to do business without the hassle of navy interference. As such those attending her performances regardless who they are, whether they be wanted or not. They are given Diplomatic Immunity whilst in the theatre, and cannot be arrested whilst in it. However, should they cause trouble…. They will be dealt with swiftly by her puppet guards. She covets for things that belongs to others, and will take them by force if necessary

She possesses an army of puppet soldiers that each have their independent personalities. Her strongest four puppets are considered her Marionette Quartet; These are named  Encore, Toxin-Bane (Doku Doku no Mi Poison Puppet), Fencer Braxton & Roidudrame.

### Making an Investment

During the White Hair Pirates time on Sabaody; Hiroh and Cain, with the scarred man's newly found friend; Myo, entered the Fantoche Lotus Theare, with Marilyin commenting on Cain's arrival to his own performance and innocently requesting the monkiean didn't interrupt the performance as Hiroh attempted to get onto the stage only to be bound by the thread of Roidudrame. Watching as Cain attempted to level her theatre, she used her abillities to command Toxin-Bane to give support to the building; unfortunately it was not enough as the Namazu increased his tremor output, causing the building to turn to rubble.

As she evaded the rubble using her puppet strings, stood unharmed by the collapse, she looked towards the culprit. She wasn't threatened by Cain. She was annoyed with him surely because of the funds it would cost to refurbish what he destroyed, but his reveal of such a Powerful Devil Fruit had swayed her anger to towards Envy. Envy that she would not get his corpse upon his demise like she was promised the monkey. She spoke to herself. Ignorant of Cain who was standing before her. She acknowledged his sentence that he spoke, though and politely responded, warning him it was not her he had to worry about.

She would allow Jolliaster to take matters into his own hands slightly; Watching the Golden Jester defeat Hiroh before she intervened to prevent him killing the monkeian, coiling puppet string around the jester's neck imbued with haki. Refering to him by his name, she spoke of how Hiroh was hers and his life was hers alone to decide the fate of, having took even more of an intrest after watching him attempt to battle her fellow shichibukai despite his loss. As he complied, she released the strings and became irritated when the jester took matters into his own hands and damaged her belonging. She stepped over to the unconcious corpse of Hiroh and sighed, as she marrionetted him to stand. As used her puppet threads to stich up the wounds inflicted upon him by the Warlord he had just faced all whilst smiling. Her innocent smile hidding her true agenda as she had her puppets carry Hiroh to the Cellar of Fantoche Lotus; Where they stored all the unused puppets that weren't performing.
