Aqua D. Connor

**Aqua D. Connor** is a pirate and captain of the Shuffle Pirates. He is the son of Aqua D. Mitchell and brother of the revolutionary Aqua D. Kierryn. Connor has eaten the Choko Choko no Mi.

## Personality

Connor is a caring, compassionate individual who places a great value on personal freedom. While he chafes at restrictions, he also advocates that such freedom cannot be used to harm others. This often puts him at odds with other Pirate crews, who "abuse" their freedom as far as Connor is concerned.

He is quite supportive of his crew, doing everything he can to help them overcome their challenges while also being fiercely protective of them, frequently putting himself in harms way in order to protect his comrades.

Connor also puts heavy emphasis on honesty and honoring ones word to the absolute best of ones ability. This is best shown through his journey across the Grand Line at the behest of Jugram D. Lorna where he has time and again put his contract with her ahead of all other motives.

## Appearance

Connor is a tall, fairly slender individual with brown eyes and hair. He is often seen with an jacket while also wearing blue denim pants and leather boots. Post-timeskip, Connor has gained a scar running diagonally across his chest and instead of a jacket wears a long coat.

## Powers and Abilities

Connor is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, having received instruction from his father which he further refined prior to acquiring his Devil Fruit abilities. Combined with the powers of the Choko Choko no Mi, Connor has proven to be an effective hand-to-hand fighter against marine personnel as well as other pirates. When fighting, Connor prefers to remain in his human shape rather than generating large amounts of Chocolate or increasing his size, something Winters Gage would later praise him for.

Despite being able to become intangible, Connor developed an extreme durability thanks to his late discovery of this ability (and his subsequent encounters with Haki users rendering his intangibility moot). During his training for Haki, Connor was able to continuously fight for five days without any kind of relenting.

During his various bits of training, and combat experience against Marines and World Government Personnel, Connor was able to grasp some of the fundamentals of Rokushiki, namely the Soru and Geppou techniques. This enables him to both move at high speeds as well as off the air. He later acquired the Shigan technique as well.

## Relationships

### Friends/Allies

#### Jugram D. Lorna

The Primary ally of the Shuffle Pirates, Lorna has contracted the Shuffle Pirates to bring her to the island of Laugh Tale, at the very end of the Grand Line in order to expose whatever the World Government sought to expunge. She has used her gift of prophecy to better assist the Shuffle Pirates and in turn served as the primary motivation of the crew to explore the Grand Line. The Shuffle Pirates delayed their intended arrival to the New World by 18 Months to be better prepared to protect her.

#### Winters Gage

A more veteran Pirate, and a subordinate of the Yonko Big Mom, Gage formed an Alliance with Connor and the Shuffle Pirates in order to affect the rescue of Jugram D. Lorna from CP3. During the Alliance, Gage developed a deep respect for Connor and spent much of the time evaluating his skills. Due to this alliance, Connor and his crew were able to take 18 months to prepare themselves for entry into the New World due to misinterpretations that the Shuffle Pirates had been taken in as subordinates of the Big Mom Pirates.

### Other

#### Big Mom Pirates

During the Paramount War, Connor allied with Winters Gage, himself a subordinate of the Yonko Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin, in order to affect the rescue of Lorna from CP3. Due to this, Connor and the Shuffle Pirates have an unknown standing with the Yonko's crew, some considering them subordinate. This enabled Connor and the Shuffle Pirates to train in relative safety for 18 months before entering the New World.
