**William the Devil's Luck** was the character Tekking101 plays in Rustage's One Piece D&D streams. He is the captain of the Devil's Luck Pirates. He is a swindler from the South Blue and only became the captain of the crew because no one else wanted the role. As such, he is not very suited for the role, but does his best to fulfill it anyway. William takes the class of a Swashbuckler Rogue. He has additionally multi-classed into the Fighter class. William is a Devil Fruit user who has consumed the Roulette Roulette no Mi.

## **Appearance**

William has long, brown hair tied into a ponytail, a small brown goatee and a lanky build. He wears a long black bicorn hat with a golden trim. William wears long black pants with a brown belt, a blue long sleeve open cuffed shirt with a brown button up vest over-top. William also has a scar on his shoulder from an arrow and has a large circular scar on his chest from the battle with Tako. Most recently he has gained a plethora of laser scars from being John Marstoned by V's robots after beheading the aforementioned mad scientist.

He carries the True Eight of Spades, an *Ō Wazamono*-grade sword in a sheath on his back, connected by a brown strap wrapping around his chest. He also has a pistol in a holster strapped to his belt on his right hip.

## **Personality**

William tends to take the events of life in stride and is often noted to be rather lighthearted and humorous. In a true showman fashion, he has a tendency to be somewhat exaggerative, often acting in a comically overly polite manner towards the people he meets in order to throw them off or, alternatively, to gain their trust. He is fairly sarcastic and witty, often making jokes and quippy remarks. Not the nicest of the nice, but also not the meanest of the mean, he usually tries to take a civil approach to conflict. However, once William feels nervous or insulted he's quick to start fights, often with lethal force (even against old men). When in combat, he tends to employ psychological warfare, often mocking and taunting his opponents in order to distract them.

In spite of his lackadaisical attitude to life, William does rarely display a more serious and empathetic attitude, even swearing a vow to not harm the elderly anymore as of Episode 15 (much to Duros' delight), although he joked about killing an 80 year old Marine on Clown Island. William also claims his cut off age for 'elderly' murder is 55. He also really likes pineapple juice and is by far the most unpredictable member of the Crew, both due to his mannerisms and the nature of his Devil Fruit. He also loves playing poker with Louis, since the latter sucks at poker.

William despises slavery in all of its forms. Although the fact that he allowed Bullet to live and be an integral part of his operation casts doubt on if he actually believes this.

Even though William doesn't seem like a typical captain on the surface, he is actually highly protective of his crew and cares about them very much, frequently calling them his family. In fact, despite his generally relaxed and easygoing disposition he will always prioritize the safety and well-being of his crew over everything else, even if it means potentially allowing someone else to die. While originally intended to be a Chaotic Good aligned character, William has since become a Chaotic Neutral character.

Ironically enough, he is the only one of the initial Devil's Luck Pirates not motivated by some form of personal revenge. Despite this, it is very easy for him to become enraged, such as when he had his sword stolen by Soldi. He is a mercurial individual, centering his entire persona around gambling the second he ate the gambling fruit. He recruited Jimmy solely on a whim. He also tends to kill people on a whim. He is very spiteful and petty, whether it be mocking the cooking of a parent when the enemy is dying or getting into small arguments with an adolescent.

At 01:49:00 in the Twitch live stream for Episode 16 of Isekai DND, Tekking stated: "William is horrible! He fucking kills people! He's an egotistical piece of shit!". Rustage retorted that he was him if he had more confidence, which Tekking only slightly agreed upon, but ultimately denied because he didn't go around murdering old people.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

### Overview

At the start of the campaign, William used a regular flintlock pistol and a cutlass in battle. Later he discards his pistol for a steam-powered one. While infiltrating the Marine base on Clown Island he obtained a balloon sword, but never used it in battle. During the crew's infiltration of the G-4 Base, he removed his swords and pistol when he surrendered himself over to Trevor and never managed to retrieve them. However, before escaping the base he successfully disarmed Trevor and stole his longsword from him, renaming it the Eight of Spades. However, he has since fused the sword with his cutlass, making the weapon either finesse or not depending on what side William uses. The 8th Flames' candle is also fused into the blade, making it the True Eight of Spades. He has also stolen a pistol from a Marine ship.

William carries thieves' tools and a disguise kit on him at all times. Although he claims to be proficient at picking locks, he has been shown to fail at this quite a bit. He also carries multiple sets of playing cards he uses to perform various card tricks. By the looks of his figure, he seems to be above average physical strength.

He also possesses a high quality spoon, a whole pineapple, the clout that comes with his bounty, and a massive diamond. His most recently acquired weapon is a bag of yellow power from Spinkle's Special Substances which unbeknownst to William would reduce him to the height of 6 inches. William now also uses the bottle that the special substance was in to keep a bit of the ashes Valentine turned into.

#### Performance

As a swindler, William possesses a potent degree of skill when it comes to performance in tasks such as cheating in card games, most notably when he cheated the experienced gambler Bullet out of a Devil Fruit and information in a game of cards. He also possesses substantial capability in tasks such as playing a musical instrument, as seen in Episode 1 where he was able to play a violin quite well despite never having played one before.

He has shown almost reality warping skills for performing card tricks and sleight of hand, even able to improvise elaborate and successful tricks on the spot.

#### Roguish Talents

As a Rogue, William is capable of complicated acrobatics, dealing extra damage to enemies through surprise attacks, dodging the brunt of enemy blows, and many more useful abilities. These talents allow William to fulfill a unique and potent role on the battlefield.

#### Fighter Skills

Upon learning swordsmanship from Duros, William gained a level in the Fighter Class and as such has access to some Fighter abilities. He gains a type of fighting style as well as Second Wind, the ability to use his stamina to heal himself and Action Surge, the ability to gain a extra action on his turn.

#### Roulette Roulette no Mi

This Devil Fruit allows William to manifest a spinning wheel anywhere on his body. Spinning the wheel allows William to gain another Devil Fruit ability for a specific amount of time. The length of time and how many times he can spin it is determined by how many times he has used this power. The more William uses this power, the longer the duration and more spins he gets.

There's 410 numbers on the spinning wheel, each representing a specific Devil Fruit ability. After rolling a number, William temporarily gains the use of that according Devil Fruit ability. He is also capable of rolling the wheel even while using a Devil Fruit's power, essentially meaning William possesses the abilities of both the Roulette Roulette no Mi and the rolled Devil Fruit at once. A full list of already spun and known Devil Fruits can be found on the Roulette Roulette no Mi wiki page. In Episode 32 Rustage confirmed that at level 10 William has acquired a new power like the other devil fruit users.

In Episode 36 William gained the ability to cheat his roulette once per day. This ability allows him to choose a number between 1 and 410, granting him the power automatically. However, he cannot choose the same fruit using this ability in the following days. This is more for Tekking than William, because it represents William picking a number just because he likes it.

In Episode 60, William gained the ability to create his own devil fruit when selecting a devil fruit outside the normal amount of numbers. He created a devil fruit which allowed him to teleport anyone he has previously met before, choosing to first teleport someone close to the crew. After this the number became 412 with 411 being the ability to create a devil fruit power and 412 being the ability the telport ability

#### Blade of Justice/True Eight of Spades

An *Ō Wazamono (Great Grade)* sword originally wielded by William's elder brother Trevor. William luckily stole it in the midst of battle. William is now proficient in the use of this weapon and named it after a card he drew randomly.

During his time on Duros, William rolled a Devil Fruit that allowed him to fuse objects together. He used this ability to fuse The Eight of Spades with his cutlass and the Eighth Flame Necklace, resulting in the creation of the so-called "True Eight of Spades". The True Eight of Spades is a double-edged sword, with one side being a finesse weapon of the cutlass, and the other side being the blade of the original Eight of Spades. The Eighth Flame Necklace has now become bound in the guard of this unusual blade. This fusion is permanent. While William could use the Eight and a cutlass, potentially allowing him to do massive damage, as seen in the fight with V, he usually chooses to only use the Eight and shoot his pistol.

William had a tendency to use the sword over anything else even if it was worse than his other weapons. For example when he unlocked both Rankyaku and Shigan He had a better modifier to hit with those than the True Eight of Spades but still used the sword over those other abilities and when he became in possession of The Bonaparte and Genjitsu which were definitely better weapons than The True Eight of Spades he never used them

After recruiting Lyssa in the Crew William asked her and Verona to put a powerful explosive in the hilt of the sword that can be activated with a remote he carries on him. This feature is meant to be used if his sword is taken and wielded by an enemy as a way to both deal damage and disarm them, since the sword becomes unusable. However the bomb is positioned in such a way that the blade wouldn't be ruined by the detonation and the weapon could be repaired after the battle.

The Blade was briefly in the possession of Soldi. However, it was returned to William upon Soldi's defeat.

#### Marine rapiers

During the Blue blood saga William was given two ordinary marine rapiers from Captain Everest

#### The Bonaparte

After Louis death William took The Bonaparte

#### Genjitsu

After killing Void Agent Zoro William took one of his sword for himself, but he never used it.

#### Natural Luck

William is able to manipulate the luck of himself and those attacking him three times a day. This may also be linked to his Devil's Luck.

#### Six Powers/Rokushiki

Since his training with Boss, William has become strong enough to use at least two of the Rokushiki techniques that being Shave (Soru) and Moonwalk (Geppo) at will, having personally named them Shuffle and Double Lift, respectively. At level 14 he also learned the Tempest Kick (Rankyaku), naming it River, as well as Finger Pistol (Shigan), naming it Draw. At level 16 he learned Iron Body (Tekkai), naming it Ante. In episode 61 Tekking101 has chosen to rename his Evasion ability to Fold having it act as his Paper Arts (Kami-e). These names were inspired by his beloved card techniques.

#### Rokuogan

He was told by Boss about a secret technique that only those who have absolute mastery of all Rokushiki skills can have access to this seventh technique. **Rokuogan** is the ultimate attack of the *Rokushiki* style. William places both his fists right in front of the target to focus his physical strength to launch a devastating shock wave from their knuckles in a forward direction, causing severe internal injuries to the victim. William named this technique Kill Game.

Mechanically if William manages to hit his target, his attack will automatically be a critical hit. He can only use this attack once per day.

#### Slasher

After cutting down so many foes, William has become a master of it (especially when it involves old men). With it, he not only slows down his opponents after cutting them, but if he gets a critical hit, the attack is extremely devastating as the target gains disadvantage on all attacks on their next turn.

#### Sneak Attack

Beginning at 1st level, William knows how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, he can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature he hits with an attack if he has advantage on the attack roll. He must use a finesse or a ranged weapon in the attack.

William doesn't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and he doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

The amount of the extra damage increases as he gains levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table, currently 8d6.

#### Rakish Audacity

Starting at 3rd level, William confidence propels him into battle. He can give himself a bonus to his initiative rolls equal to his Charisma modifier.

He also gain an additional way to use his Sneak Attack; he doesn't need advantage on the attack roll to use his Sneak Attack against a creature if he is within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of him, and he doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to him.

#### Uncanny Dodge

Starting at 5th level, when an attack that William can see hits him, he can use his reaction to halve the damage he takes from this attack.

#### Evasion

Beginning at 7th level, William can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects. When he is subjected to an effect that allows him to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, he instead take no damage if he succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails. Has been renamed to Fold.

#### Panache

At 9th level of Rogue, William's charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As an action, he can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear him, and the two of them must share a language.

If he succeeds on the check and the creature is hostile to him, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than him and can't make opportunity attacks against targets other than him. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of William's companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until he and the target are more than 60 feet apart.

If William succeeds on the check and the creature isn't hostile to him, it is charmed by him for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards him as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if he or his companions do anything harmful to it.

#### Reliable Talent

By the 11th level, William has refined his chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever he makes an ability check that lets him add his proficiency bonus, he can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

#### Elegant Maneuver

At 13th level of Rogue, William can use a bonus action on his turn to gain advantage on the next Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check he makes during the same turn.

#### Blind Sense

Starting at 14th level, if he is able to hear, William is aware of the location of any hidden or invisible creature within 10 feet of him.

#### Slippery Mind

By 15th level, William has been through many adventures and has acquired greater mental strength. He gains proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.

#### Inspiring Leader

William can spend 10 minutes inspiring his companions, shoring up their resolve to fight. When he does so, he chooses up to six friendly creatures (which can include himself) within 30 feet of him who can see or hear him and who can understand him. Each creature can gain temporary hit points equal to his level + his Charisma modifier. A creature can't gain temporary hit points from this feat again until it has finished a short or long rest.

#### Fighting Style

After multi-classing into Fighter, William has a fighting style that he benefits from. William uses the Dueling fighting style. When he wields a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, he gains a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

#### Second Wind

After multi-classing into Fighter, William can heal himself for 1d10 + his fighter level.

#### Action Surge

William can push himself beyond his normal limits for a moment. On his turn, he can take one additional action.

Once he uses this feature, he must finish a short or long rest before he can use it again.

#### Special Attacks

William, like many of his crewmates, has developed several named techniques and special attacks during the story, usually centered around his sword or the Devil Fruit he has currently active. It is interesting to point out that a good part of those attacks have names based on card tricks or gambling. Other Info about special attacks can be read here.

## **Relationships**

### **Devil's Luck Pirates**

#### Verona

Verona serves as William's Navigator on the Devil's Luck Pirates crew. In spite of Verona's tendency to injure his crewmates, William always takes such occurrences in stride, instead teasing him lightly. William often consults Verona when working out the logical aspects of a plan, and the two are shown to have a strong bond born of near death experiences. When William spoke to Boss for the first time in ten years, Verona comforted him and declared his loyalty to his Captain.

#### Duros

William and Duros first met by chance. William stumbled upon Duros one day, and as Duros wallowed in self-pity, having failed at everything he was trying to do, William told him to just do whatever he wanted in whatever way he wanted. This helped Duros make up his mind about becoming a pirate in order to freely protect those he wanted to protect. He then joined William’s pirate crew.

Duros serves on the Devil's Luck Pirates as the First Mate, and often takes on the role of a moral compass for William. The two generally have gotten along quite well, Duros often showing pride regarding William's more morally sound actions. However, he has exhibited frustration in the past at William's tendency towards violence in situations where it is not required. Overall, the two are able to work together quite well in and out of combat. However Duros was disappointed when he found out William gambled Ragnar's freedom over a Devil Fruit when William gambled with Bullet.

#### Ragnar

Ragnar has a great amount of respect and loyalty towards William for his assistance in finding Ragnar's family. On the other hand, William is shown to appreciate Ragnar for his strength, loyalty, and uncomplicated attitude. He also trusts Ragnar enough to encourage and approve of his plans to pose as an earnest member of the Eight Flames, in spite of the great danger in doing so, and Ragnar has devoted himself completely to assisting William's endeavours while working to become the world's strongest man.

#### Pearl

William was initially very wary of Pearl as she displayed odd behavior upon first meeting the crew. After learning of her past and ability to transform into a dragon in Episode 3, William was impressed and gradually became more relaxed around her. Excited by the prospect of having an actual dragon on his crew, William made Pearl a proper crew member. Unsure of her position, however, he spontaneously declared her as the crew's M.A.D.G (Martial Arts Dragon Girl), which Pearl took to with enthusiasm. Pearl, on the other hand, seems to respect William for his actions quite a bit, holding him in high regard as her captain.

Throughout their travels together, their relationship has developed further to become more nuanced. William has grown to not only appreciate Pearl's abilities and presence on the crew, but also to genuinely care about her health and well-being, seeing her as a valuable crewmate, a great friend and a dear member of his family. He will often go out of his way to ensure her safety. Pearl, in turn, has shown great devotion to her captain and crew.

This was most clearly seen in Episode 18, when William went so far as to lie in Trevor's face, claiming that they had kidnapped Pearl and that she had nothing to do with their crimes, in an effort to save her life. Pearl, however, was offended by this and loudly exclaimed that she is a proud member of the crew, showing that she would rather die or be captured by the Marines than survive by denying her status.

William and Pearl have also come to share a great deal of trust between them. As Pearl is one of the more level-headed and knowledgeable members of the crew, William often listens to her advice when planning their next move. Pearl, meanwhile, often relies directly on William's commands during combat, in a way placing her own life in his hands. In Episode 31 the two teamed up for the second event of the Davy Back Fight between the Devil's Luck Pirates and the Trojan Pirates, working together brilliantly to outperform and defeat their opponents.

#### Gravy

Originally, due to the crew's desperate need of a proper chef, William was quite welcoming of Gravy after tasting the man's fine cuisine. Despite this, he was not quite ready to accept him as a proper crew member, and as a result put him on probation for a time. William was relatively kind to Gravy and cared enough about his well being to keep him out of danger, provided a proper meal waited after a hard fought battle. He even trusted him enough to guard the Yogi Pooh alone while the crew went to liberate the Tarako Kingdom, and after returning from the battle he officially made Gravy the crew's chef. Since then, William has expressed a desire to protect Gravy and further his interests just as much as any of the crew, even claiming he would be prepared to kill his father figure, Boss, if it meant that Gravy would be spared of his duties as the 4th Flame.

#### Louis Le'cloque

William didn't seem to particularly like Louis that much during their first meeting, but soon came to appreciate him for his powerful Devil Fruit and humorous accent. In the end, he also felt a significant amount of sympathy for Louis' loss of his brother, and recruited him to the Devil's Luck Pirates in earnest as their Doctor and Musician. Once Louis joined the crew he started becoming a detriment due to his deep infatuation of women which came to its breaking point in the fight against Cleo and his lackadaisical handling of some events lead to William having to confront Louis about this to which Louis vowed to reform and even started learning more about the rapier from William.

After the fight against Emperor Dominius on planet Duros, William offered some encouraging words to Louis after seeing his future counterpart, that the Frenchman has potential to be the best that he can be. William was genuinely saddened by Louis's death via Blue Blood, and took the Frenchman's Bonaparte as a memento.

#### Cyril

William seems to really appreciate Cyril as they both were scared of vampires and facing very strong opponents. William also seems to be the most interested in Cyril's growth as a fruit user and as a person.

#### Lyssa

William is a fervent supporter of Verona and Lyssa's relationship and he had nothing against the navigator asking her to join the crew. Beyond that, he has shown great admiration for Lyssa's resourcefulness and enthusiasm as well as her skills in engineering and mechanics. Generally speaking, the two get along very well due to the fact that both of them are very outgoing and social individuals.

#### Heali

William sees Heali as a member of the crew. He stated that if Everest killed Heali then he would kill him without a second though for harming a member his crew. He's also attached to Heali for being a memory of Helios and does his best to look after the robot.

#### Jimmy

William was impressed by Jimmy's moxie and had him joined the crew. After passing the trails he appointed Jimmy as a detective. He is looking forward to what Jimmy could bring to the table and wishes to give Jimmy some battle experience.

#### Little Ricky

William appreciates the work Ricky does and knows that Ricky will do his task well.

### **Family**

#### Boss

As the foster father of William, Boss had an immense impact on his identity, teaching him the ways of thievery, a moral code, and impressing a lighthearted, humorous attitude upon him. The two seemed to have turned out to be quite similar as a result, even sharing a capacity to resort to extreme violence in seemingly desperate situations.

After being separated at the age of 18, William adopted a dismissive and nonchalant attitude regarding Boss. likely born of disdain from Boss having abandoned him. This was further amplified by the revelation that Boss had actually killed William's parents, delivered by William's brother, Trevor. When the crew first met Hemlock and he learned that the Eight Flames were moving to assassinate Boss, William actually stated that while he didn't want to kill Boss, he certainly would to protect Gravy and the rest of his crew. However, this attitude was shown at least in part to be a façade, as William was reduced to tears after his conversation with Boss in Episode 15.

#### Chapston D. Trevor

Upon first meeting Trevor, William was very confused and put off by his fierce temper and strength. Once he learned of his heritage as a disinherited noble and that Trevor was actually his brother, William put on an air of sympathy and emotion at the news. William became quite wary and mistrusting of Trevor after this encounter, even referring to him as a psychopath in Episode 15. Trevor, on the other hand, is relieved and overjoyed to have finally found his little brother, but also disapproves of William's identity as a pirate. Trevor gets very upset when William resists after he was trapped at G4. William was going to kill Trevor but didn’t so he could brag about stealing his sword and beating him.

Following Jefferson's framing of Trevor as a traitor to the Marines, the Devil's Luck Pirates have formed something of a pseudo-alliance with the young Commodore due to the common enemy they share in the Aeon cult. Due to these circumstances, the relationship between William and Trevor has also seen new developments: as they spend more time together, they can often be seen bantering or arguing about their plans for the foreseeable future. Trevor truly showed his love for William when he tried to save him when he was about to be knocked unconscious from being stuck in the wall of corpses when fighting the All Mother. Trevor even to some extent has seemed to acknowledge William, though he may not agree with William's way of life, he did approve of his brother enough to leave the Sword of Justice/Eight of Spades with William even though William lost their duel over the Eight of Spades and allowed for the Devil's Luck Pirates to escape from Chronograd.

It is unknown if William knows of Trevor's relationship with Jasper.

#### Doxie

During their first meeting, William and Doxie didn't really like each other, always arguing between them. However while everyone were taking a ride in the train to get to Ragnar Island, all the crew told some story's about themselves including Doxie, which lead to everyone to learn about her circumstances and Willaim softing himself a bit, remembering of his own upcoming. They them went on to steal some pinnanaple juice from Ragnar Inc together and share it between the crew, Doxie later stated that it was one of the happiest moments of her life. After the fight with Ragnar IV, it's learned Doxie is the daughter of Blue Blood, but that didn't hinder her relationship with any of them, in fact all of them went on to take Blue Blood crew down.

After falling from the air balloon with William, Duros, Ragnar, Verona, Lyssa and Heali, they all go through Blue Blood's Kingdom and fight his commanders together. While fighting Kasparov, Doxie saves William from a bishop's attack by killing it. They then went on to save Pearl from Seraph and The Executioner, after killing The Executioner and saving Pearl, they go on their way to fight Seraph and while climbing the stairs to reach her, William officially invites Doxie to join the crew, which gets her off guard, and so she says she needs to think about it. Now during the encounter with Seraph, Doxie is the first to rush her but its immediately halted by William in concern with her safety, them it is revealed Seraph is her mother and Doxie ran away because she hated the worship of Blue Blood and after that they went on to fight, and when Seraph transforms into her Biblically Accurate Angel form, Doxie says that thing isn't her mother. After killing Seraph, they went to beat and capture Blake. Now they went on to fight Blue Blood and during the fight she was almost killed and only survived because Blue Blood missed a 50/50 and killed a Doxie puppet made by Jester, after seeing that, William uses the powers of the string-string fruit and tosses Doxie out of the way of harm instead of disengaging himself, which almost gets him killed, showing them his appreciation of Doxie.

Then after the whole adventure in Blue Blood's Kingdom, Doxie never gave a official response about joining the crew, but since she left with them it can be assumed she is now a part of it. During the trip to an deserted island, Tekking said William thinks of Doxie as his daughter and it was revealed by William's captain to do list that he wants to find out Doxie birthday and give her a birthday present. During the time loop, William gives Doxie a combat knife, however it was gone after the time loop was closed, along with Verona sniper and William pistol. After that, when they find out about the Void Police space station, William promises to give Doxie a space knife and she commemorated for whole hour even while the spaceship was crashing down.

In William character sheet, about Doxie: "I feel sympathy for Doxie's upbringing" and "I feel like it's my responsibility to give her the better life I haven't had"

#### **Roulette**

Roulette made William sign a contract, but he was able to get out of it. But boss willingly got to know her very well. William did not quite know how to process this relationship, even though it is likely over, given what Boss said when they were leaving.

#### Parents

Trevor and William's natural parents were named Montgomery and Marissa. Since William was taken away by Boss when he was still an infant, he doesn't remember them at all.

### **Allies**

#### Atom

William, like the rest of the crew, started out cautious regarding Atom, but as time went on William did begin to warm up to him, actually quite liking him before he attacked Pearl and then ran away.

Having attacked Pearl and subsequently left the crew to die, Atom incurred William's wrath. When they noticed his ship docked at Krendor William and Verona relieved themselves in Atom's "chambers" as a form of revenge, but also noticed how poor he truly was.

Once they met him on the island William initially thought of killing him in revenge, ordering every member of his crew to at least hit him once. He also forced Atom to apologize to Pearl and even threatened to kill him if he continued to call her names. However, after actually talking to the guy a bit later, the group found out about his backstory.

At first, William let Atom travel with them out of pity, but over time the two gained a significant amount of respect for each other. This respect and appreciation for Atom was great enough that William told him not to die before running away from Marrow, even hugging him before turning around to run. Following Atom's death William arranged for his sister to be adopted by the new King of the Tarako Kingdom (officially making her a princess) and even requested a statue to be built in his honor. When Bullet later called Atom just some kid who used to live in the same town as her, William took offense to this and told her not to speak of Atom like that, calling him a great man.

#### Hemlock

While at first intimidated by Hemlock's flirtatious and dangerous nature, William and the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates soon found themselves defeating her in combat. Allowing her to live under the condition that she assisted them in fighting the Timber Lord, William held no true trust or loyalty towards Hemlock. After the fighting, he and the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates parted ways with her without violence, even allowing her to stay on L'Arbor.

The Crew later meets her and Blake at G-4, where the two had arrived in secret to take the head of Marine Captain Verona, a high-priority target. William and Ragnar greeted the two and as their goals happened to align, briefly helped them kill Verona. The assassins then proceeded to assist the pirates in making their escape, eventually successfully escaping the base themselves. Following this encounter William seems to have begun thinking of Hemlock and Blake as their allies, and Hemlock seems to have taken a liking to the pirates as well.

William was reunited with Hemlock during the raid on the Eight Flames Base and actually did not really want to fight her if it could be avoided, a feeling she reciprocated. However, as William was deadset on fighting Cleo and Hemlock still had her pride as a member of the Eight Flames, the two faced each other in combat.

Even still, her true feelings eventually got the better of her and following the death of Valentine she formally declared her decision to betray the Eighth Flame and join the raid force. Over the course of their subsequent adventures together William and Hemlock seem to have developed a genuine friendship; after the defeat of the Trojan Pirates she cheerfully bid the Crew, including William, farewell and voiced her desire to see them again. As William returns the sentiment she also promises them that the Devil's Luck Pirates can always count on being able to hire the Eight Flames for free.

William and the crew return to the new Eight Flames base after escaping the time loop, they walk in on what they assumed was a dead Hemlock. William, perhaps in a joking matter, said that she was the one he wanted to hook up with in a dramatic fashion. In the next episode they heal her and neither of them bring up what he said, if she even heard it.

#### Florence

William and the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates spared Florence mainly through a whim and a fancy little invention, but Florence seems to have gained true respect for the crew after he spent some time speaking to Gravy. The two seem to have gained a better understanding of each other, with William treating the man more seriously and Florence holding William in a higher regard.

#### Bullet

William and Bullet first met each other on Krendor, in an underground casino where the Crew arrived together with Atom in order to gather information on the Steam Pipe Pirates. They got along instantly, both being veteran gamblers. They played a game of cards, with Bullet betting the information and the Roulette Roulette no Mi and William betting his crew: William won, took the Devil Fruit and Bullet gave them the information. William later claimed to have found Bullet attractive, but Bullet rejected his advances.

The Devil's Luck Pirates later fought Bullet in the Tarako Kingdom, but she surrendered upon seeing the Second Candle they were carrying, as she thought that they were all members of the Eight Flames sent to kill her. However, they let her go.

Following their reunion in the Oasis, Bullet used to blame William for all the misfortune and hostility that befell her after she lost her Devil Fruit to him on Krendor and hated him for deceiving her. However, she could still work together with him towards the common goal of destroying the Eight Flames. Although William seemed to like Bullet more after she promised to stop selling and owning slaves, the two still couldn't be called friends. However, after everything that happened in the Oasis and afterwards the two have gained more respect for each other. Following the conflict between the Devil's Luck Pirates and the Trojan Pirates they ultimately parted on mostly friendly terms, sharing a handshake and smiling at each other before going their separate ways.

William was later confronted by Bullet at the Dane Goodman's Blood Bowl Victory After Party (DGBBVAP), When she confessed her love for him. This was brought on by William both rolling a Gun creating Fruit, and also consuming a Love Potion from Spinkle's Special Substances. Keep in mind that both of them were absolutely smashed on Rum, but she kissed William and William didn't stop her. Later they both slept together on a couch. William states that "he has conflicting feelings either way" when it comes to his romantic love for Bullet. But clearly something is there. It is unknown what William felt after Bullet was killed by the alternate timeline Gol D. Roger in their final battle.

### **Friends**

#### Spinkle

William (under the alias Theodore) quickly befriended Spinkle and received a 50% discount on all of his future purchases after Spinkle tells the group that he hopes to sell to substances to them all once they return.

#### Little Timmy

William became quite fond of the child following their first meeting. He thinks of the kid as a son and hoped to meet him again. When they finally reunited on the Grand Line, William was able to talk Little Timmy into joining him in the fight against V.

#### Blake

William took an instant liking to Blake when the two met for the first time at G-4. He sees Blake as an example of a "cool" person and greatly enjoys his company. William actually likes him so much that he has invited Blake to join his crew twice, first during the raid on the Eight Flames Base and then again later after the battle against Emperor Dominius. Blake has yet to give a definitive answer. William groups Blake as one of the two men he has ever loved, although ranking him below Jimmy. When the two met again, he gave a non-apology for killing Cleo.

### **Enemies**

#### Rodney Poledark

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, the captain of the Angler Pirates and William were pitted against each other on Gallows Island. Poledark grievously wounded him before being killed by Duros, leaving William with a scar on his shoulder.

#### Captain Marrow

As the murderer of Marrow's father, William was regarded with nothing less than hatred by Marrow. Because Marrow murdered both Verona's father and Atom, this feeling was most likely mutual. After he was killed by Ragnar in the throne room battle at Tarako Kingdom, William likely felt a significant amount of relief at the defeat of such a powerful (and vengeful) foe.

#### The Timber Lord

William helped save Ragnar's family by helping in the arduous battle against the Timber Lord. While William disliked him for his actions in life, it is likely that he gained some sort of pity for the man after his death, after learning of how ruined he had truly become. William made a promise to not attack any elderly without good reason over his grave.

#### Cleo

While having agreed to work with her during the journey to G-4, William holds no affection or appreciation for her as a person. Her fascination with his card tricks, while useful in convincing her to work with them, has made William quite uncomfortable and annoyed, and her attitude and demeanor have led to him disliking her quite a bit.

#### Arzen

William hates Arzen for his human experiments, torture of Boss, assault of his Crew, and for almost taking his hand. Once Arzen was "killed", William was relieved to know that his Crew, and to a smaller extent the world, would be safer.

#### V

V is, so far, the only justifiable death of an old man that William has caused. V was also the only person to make William, for a time, lose his normal happy-go-lucky demeanor and concentrate solely on defeating him due to the old man's horrible actions.

#### Emperor Dominius

Due to the latter's ban on space travel and the Devil's Luck Pirates' aspirations to get back to their planet, William and Dominius started out as enemies from the beginning. In fact, William was the only member of the Crew (besides Ragnar) to speak in favor of killing the Emperor as soon as they learned of his existence and his laws concerning space travel. As the Crew traveled across Duros and learned more about the world and its circumstances, William became increasingly convinced about the necessity of taking down the Emperor by force.

#### The All Mother

Unlike most enemies, William took a different approach and decided to talk to her. He never had a reason to fight her begin with as he only just found out about her. During the fight, William began to help the All Mother by explaining Arzen and V 's atrocious acts. He then was able to be one to show her that the Aeons weren't exactly good people as she was lead to believed.

#### Big Top

At first he didn't hate Big Top very much and only saw him as a need for their peace plan to work. However after hearing he kidnapped Lyssa and potentially Louis, William became more determined to kill Big Top and make him pay for messing with his crew.

## **History**

### Past

#### Birth and Childhood

William was born 28 years before the start of the campaign to a noble couple. His parents, Montgomery and Marissa Chapston, were eventually killed by a burglar who panicked when he realized that the house he had broken into wasn't empty. The man then grabbed the infant William and made his escape. William was subsequently raised by this criminal, a con artist whom he started calling "Boss".

Boss taught William everything he needed to know about scamming, swindling and other criminal activities, only resorting to violence as a last resort or as a means of escape. Boss raised William for as long as he could remember. Over the years William attempted to ask Boss about his biological parents and the man's true identity several times, but was given a different story each time.

Once, when William was 4 years old, Boss told him that if he wouldn't go to bed, vampires would kill him. This gave William a lifelong fear of vampires. When William was five years old, Boss forgot his birthday. He also started smoking at that age, and eventually began drinking five years later: Boss made him drink whiskey on his tenth birthday. His eighth birthday party (which was held at a bar) eventually turned into a fight that toppled his cake. When William was 15, he and Boss angered a group of prospectors, which resulted in them having to escape in a mine cart. Also at age 15, he tried to rob a retirement home with Boss after losing a game of chess to an elderly man. He also burned down a retirement home following a lost game of chess.

Throughout his youth, William and Boss went on a variety of adventures together, hopping from island to island, scamming, conning and robbing people along the way. At one point the two ended up on an island ruled by a certain nobleman. They tried to steal from him and Boss nearly lost a leg during their escape. The leg had to be sewn back on and William nearly passed out from seeing all the blood. William and Boss also played a practical joke on a woman which involved stealing her pig and then returning it the next day along with another pig they stole from a nearby farm, leaving the woman confused and believing that she had "multiplying" pigs. The two also once took a job which involved them robbing a bank. Following the heist they tried to escape from the Marines, but were halted in their efforts by a mime who was acting as a crossing guard much to William and Boss' annoyance, so they beat the mime to a bloody pulp. This began William's hatred for mimes in general. Many years ago, Boss reminded William that there are times where he would have to cheat everything in order to win.

A significant event in William's life that he had repressed until the time of the current campaign happened when he was about 12 years old. He and boss were breaking into a noble's house and robbing when William was spooked by the lady of the house. Being freaked out, he used a blade to slash her and kill her. Boss walked in and started panicking when he realized that William had murdered a celestial dragon. Boss freaked out and grabbed William, making an escape together. During the escape Boss knocked out a random man and essentially framed him for killing her. It is not known why this experience was repressed by William for so long, whether it was the first time he killed someone or the first time he killed a woman was not stated.

The last time Boss and William saw each other before the formation of the Devil's Luck Pirates was when William was 18 years old. The pair were attempting to rob a prominent noble in the South Blue and the job soon went downhill after the two broke into the noble's castle. William managed to escape, taking an arrow in the shoulder in the process while Boss' fate was left uncertain. After waiting at their rendezvous point for some time William realized that Boss wasn't coming and left off on his own. Believing Boss to be either dead or captured, he continued to swindle and cheat his way through life alone, making various enemies along the way.

#### William the Pirate

Despite initially having no interest in piracy, William eventually got tired of risking his life trying to steal from pirates and so decided to become one himself. Sometime after this, he happened to meet Rick D. Astley in a bar somewhere. The two quickly became best friends despite their different backgrounds: Rick was a wealthy bar owner who had grown tired of his mundane life. The two then decided to become pirates together. This eventually lead to the formation of the crew that would become known as the Devil's Luck Pirates.

At some point William met Duros when the knight was down on his luck, having been betrayed and left for dead by the Marines. William reminded him of the importance of personal freedom and one's own sense of justice, which inspired Duros to join William as a pirate in order to protect and punish people freely.

It is unclear exactly how many members the crew ultimately had before the start of the campaign. However, at some point Rick gathered everyone together and appointed William as the captain (because no one else wanted the position, including Rick himself). They then sailed the South Blue together for a time. Eventually the crew was met by a catastrophe when they were hit by a typhoon during a battle with some marines. Both ships were destroyed and most of the people on them perished, including Rick. The only people to survive the typhoon were William, Duros, Verona and Ragnar, along with three marine soldiers and Pearl. They then drifted onto the shore of an unknown island.

#### Epilogue Part 1

Before Duros' epilogue and after Verona's ending, William got the crew together and told all of them that the Devil's Luck Pirates will be officially disbanded. He thought it would be best if they quit while they are ahead and this will be the end of their journey together. He gave everyone a Den~Den Mushi, and said they would always be friends, Doxie then told William that she wouldn't know what to do without them. William suggested for Doxie would come to the South Blue with him and Boss forming somewhat of a family. Doxie happily agrees saying she doesn't have anything better to do.

#### Epilogue Part 2

This was recorded in Tekking's livestream and then posted on his secondary channel.

A couple of years after the events of the finale, a mysterious cloaked figure runs through Marineford carrying a suitcase full of classified documents. Loud red sirens go off all over the place as marines chase and try to capture this hooded person. The cloaked person manages to dodge and hide from the marines until they are forced to run into the main courtyard of the marine base. Every light shines upon them and the thief is caught in the process. The person is revealed to be Doxie a few years older now. All high ranking marines are there, Vice Admirals like Kuzan, Sakazuki and Borsalino threaten and tell her to give up the suitcase she stole. Right after, Trevor walks out, and says to everyone that he will capture her and that everyone should stay back as it is his responsibility. They start fighting with Doxie and Trevor both using Rokushiki, Trevor then uses his sword to attack Doxie, who is now parrying it with her big knife. They jump all over the place, running on walls and fighting mid air, Doxie misses some attacks on Trevor, and he gets a hit on her face and shoulder. They manage to leave the courtyard through fighting, and now it is revealed that it isn't Trevor, but no one else but William. Waiting on them by the water is Boss with an Ace~style boat, they manage to escape Marineford, only with Doxie complaining to William that the hit he got on her face may leave a scar and that she didn't manege to get a hit on him. They all then reach a certain very big ship, they get on it, and a person with a big head jumps out and welcomes them. It is revealed to be Emporio Ivankov, who is pleasantly surprised to see them successfully steal important documents. As Tekking described it, they met Ivankov by chance and the Okama wasn't sure if William and them would pull this operation off, so Willaim agreed to it. As viewers we should be expecting William, Doxie and Boss to be working with the Revolutionary Army.

## **Trivia**

* Like most pirates, William is aware of Pirate King Gold Roger and his treasure, the One Piece. However, unlike most pirates of his era, he has explicitly stated that he has no interest in trying to find it.
	+ Out of universe, this is used by Tekking101 as a way to ensure that the campaign will never end up in a situation where the crew would actually find the treasure and Rustage would have to decide what it is.
* William has almost exclusively rolled paramecia Devil Fruit abilities using his Roulette Roulette Fruit, only rolling three Logia abilities and one Zoan ability, and a mythical at that, as of Episode 41. However, in Episode 31, he rolled an ability that allowed him to transform into up to three animals that he has eaten throughout the course of his life, which could fall into the Paramecia and Zoan categories.
* William appears to be the most self-aware character, as seen when talking about the Timber Lord's Commanders and the potential danger of long lost brothers (the later of which actually paid off with the existence of Captain Everest).
* William is technically capable of maintaining two Devil Fruit abilities at once (the Roulette Roulette no Mi and a Devil Fruit rolled by it), a feat considered extremely extraordinary and almost impossible. Although it is probably just a similar situation to the Op-Op fruit being able to mimic abilities of other fruits such as the Nagi-nagi no mi.
* William is the first character to use any of the Rokushiki techniques, namely Geppo. He's also the first character to use Shuffle (Soru).
* If the Devil's Luck Pirates were to compete against each other in a drinking contest, William would place fifth.
* William is the only member of the Devil's Luck Pirates to have the "Will of Rick", named after their fallen crewmate.
* William loves pineapple juice as it is, in fact, the best juice. His opinion on tepache is unknown.
* William in the canon has an unexplained urge to kill the elderly as seen by how Boss remembers William making various nursing homes turn into bloodbaths.
	+ According to Tekking101 in Episode 24, the reason William hates the elderly is because they smell of Oatmeal.
	+ In Episode 54 Tekking also confirmed another reason he hates old men is because one time an old men beat him at chess. This is also the reason why he hates chess.
	+ In the Final Episode Void Crastin revealed that William is known across multiple timelines for killing old men.
* William may have the most percentage of his body covered in scar tissue from the start of the campaign, from Tako, the Blade of Justice, and many laser rounds.
* William hates the color Orange and loves the color Purple.
* It was revealed in Episode 29 that William and Louis often play poker together while travelling on the Yogi 2. Louis always loses every round.
* The only parts of the character's backstory that Tekking101 planned at the very beginning of the series were his last name Emanon, which is a joke as its just "no name" spelt backwards and him growing up in the care of Boss. Things like him having the D. and everything regarding Trevor was all Rustage.
* William hates mimes, as do most of the crew.
* William has killed a grand total of 24 people after setting out to sea. surprisingly, only 4 of them being old people. William also has the 3rd highest kill count on the Devil's Luck Pirates.

* If he had a job in the real world, William would be a dealer at a casino or a used car salesman.
* Williams favorite place to hang out on the Yogi Pooh is the captains quarters which he'd turn into his own room. However, he still likes actively going around the ship to check on everything.
* William's favorite food is Walnut glazed shrimp.
* William's kink is killing old men.
* If William were to be killed after rolling the Revive Revive Fruit, he would just die.
* If William were in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe he would either be a Waterbender or a non-bender.
* If William were placed on a morality scale with 0 being evil, 50 being neutral, and 100 being good he would get a 55.
* William became a pirate because he tried swindling crews but they kept trying to kill him so he said “If ya can’t beat em, join em” and started looking for people to join his crew.
* William's favorite place is The Oasis.
* William's favorite recent memory is stealing Trevor's Blade of Justice and renaming it the True Eight Of Spades.
* Williams favorite ice cream flavor is dark chocolate with marshmallows.
* According to William, he won the home economics award in eighth grade.
* William has a 3 inch penis, making it a micropenis. To put it into perspective, a Crayola brand crayon is 3.5 inches. It is unknown if this would bother Bullet, as bullets are measured by caliber (diameter of the bore from land to land).
* William stated that he would never get married or have kids, but that is in question with Bullet's love confession. He made it a point to say he was conflicted on his feelings for her, but he did accept a kiss from her and later slept in the same couch as her.
* His name written in Japanese is "ウィリアム" (Uiriamu)
* William is canonically writing a Verona X Lyssa and a Cyril X Pearl fan fiction.

* William is the only main member of the devil luck Pirates to have never gotten better armor during the campaign besides from Ragnar who doesn't wear armor. This was from William never bothering with wanting to get better armor.
* William never used his fighter ability: Second Wind during the Campaign. This was because of how little it healed due to William's low fighter level and probably was well because Tekking forgot he could use that ability for a long time.
* Ironically, Crastin is both the first and last old person William killed in the Campaign.
* Over the course of the campaign William had stolen 4 swords. In order they were: The Blade of Justice from Trevor, a cutlass from a marine ship, a great sword from Percival which he gave to Duros who gave it to Ragnar, and Jikan from Void Agent Z (with the help of Duros) which he gave to Doxie but she didn't want it so it was instead given to Trevor.
* By the end of the story William had 6 swords in his possession: The Blade of Justice, a sword he stole from his brother and renamed shortly afterword's to the Eight of spades, a ordinary cutlass which he took from the marine vessel the crew were using to escape G-4 along with an ordinary pistol and later on used his devil fruit power to fuse the cutlass and the Eight of spades along with V candle to form The True Eight of spades, 2 standard marine rapiers that were given to him by Captain Everest because he didn't have The True Eight of spades with him at that time despite at that point Unlocking Rankyaku and Shigan and specifically asked for 2 in case he got one of them taken like The True Eight of Spades and Verona scimitar but never use these in combat, the Bonaparte which he took from Louis corpse as a keepsake but never used in combat, and Genjitsu from Void Agent Z corpse after his defeat but never used in combat.

* Throughout the campaign, William rolled 72 HP in total for his classes. The average roll for 15d8+2d10 is 78.5, meaning that William has below average hit point rolls.
