Aramaki

## Summary

Real name **Aramaki**, **Ryokugyu** is one of the two new admirals constripted into the Marines during the two-year timeskip, being appointed to his rank next to Fujitora to fill the two admiral vacancies caused by Kuzan's resignation and Sakazuki's promotion.

## Powers and Stats

**Tier: 6-A**

**Name:** Aramaki, alias "Ryokugyu" (meaning "Green Bull")

**Origin:** One Piece

**Gender:** Male

**Age:** Unknown

**Classification:** Human, Marine Admiral, Logia Devil Fruit User

#### **Abilities:**

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts and Weapon Mastery, Haki, Plant Manipulation (Via the Mori Mori no Mi), Elemental Intangibility (Via his Devil Fruit. However, plants are a solid, and thus his powers seem more based on seamless regeneration rather than the fluid "intangibility" seen with other Logias), Regeneration (At least High-Mid, only in his Logia form. Can regrow an entirely new body from a sapling within seconds), Body Control (Capable of changing the size and shape of his plant-made Logia body), Transformation (Can assume a larger, tree-like form with his plant powers), Large Size (In his tree golem form, which is shown to dwarf an adult, dragonified Momonosuke), Flight (Can manifest a propeller-like flower on his back, allowing him to fly over long distances), Absorption (Of liquid/nutrients, sapping them away from people via wooden roots/tendrils that pierce into their bodies. This allows Ryokugyu to go indefinitely without eating/drinking the conventional way), Limited Resistance to Fire Manipulation (Has trained to heighten his plant body's resistance against fire-based attacks, although exceedingly strong flames will hurt him)

**Attack Potency:** **Continent level** (Easily overpowered King and Queen. Was able to take on five of the Nine Red Scabbards, Shinobu, Zoan form Momonosuke and Base Yamato simultaneously)

**Speed:** **FTL** Combat speed (Was quick enough with his ability to capture several of the Nine Red Scabbards and even Base Yamato, ensnaring them with wooden tendrils)

**Striking Strength:** **Continent Class**

**Durability:** **Continent level**

**Stamina:** Superhuman (Can sustain himself by draining others of their body fluids/nutrients, which has allowed him to eschew eating/drinking normally for three years and presumably lets him recover his stamina mid-battle)

**Range:** Extended Melee Range; Kilometers with his Devil Fruit power (Can create and control a large forest with which to blanket the landscape)

**Standard Equipment:** Sword

**Intelligence:** Above Average (Experienced Marine officer: should have enough strategic acumen and leadership ability to hold the rank of admiral with competence)

**Weaknesses:** Standard Devil Fruit user weaknesses. His plants (especially those making up his body) are susceptible to fire, though Aramaki has trained up his plants' resistance to being burned.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**Mori Mori no Mi (*Woods-Woods Fruit*):** A Devil Fruit of the Logia family, which made Ryokugyu a "Forest Human" who can create, control, and transform into assorted plants. The admiral has claimed that his ability is the very essence of "Logia" (*Nature*) itself, with the forest representing a source a life rivalling the seas and effectively making him able to create life from nothing, as the only known Logia user whose created element is a category of living/organic matter. It should be noted that (similar to Kuzan's ice powers) Ryokugyu's ability pertains to a *solid* element, so he is more easily hit with attacks than those Logia users who have more "fluid" bodies, though he is still invulnerable to all but those attacks that involve Haki or exploit his natural weakness (fire).

His favored means of attack involves the manifestation of wooden roots/tendrils from the ground or his body, either to ensnare or skewer opposition, sapping away their nutrients/body water and leaving them as shriveled-up husks. It is shown that he can bring forth entire forests with his power, and he can use his plants in highly unorthodox ways, like growing a flower on his back that spins like a propellor, allowing him to fly.

* **Kinniku Mori Mori** (, *Kinniku Mori Mori*, meaning "Forbidden Hate Forests"): A technique whereby Ryokugyu creates multiple large trees from the ground, including two massive wooden fists, before ultimately morphing himself into a giant tree golem that dwarfs even the full dragon form of an adult Mononosuke (itself comparable to Kaidou's dragon form). He can then attack multiple enemies using his go-to offense: wooden roots/tendrils to ensnare/skewer enemies' bodies. The attack name is a pun on *kinniku* (, "muscle") and *morimori* (もりもり), a Japanese onomatopoeia for bulging muscles (i.e., flexing one's muscles in order to communicate strength). The Viz manga calls the technique **Groves of Wrath**.

* **Bokarin** (, *Bōkarin*, meaning "Fireproof Forest"): A technique to up the resistance of Ryokugyu's plant body against fire attacks, called **Firebreak Forest** in the Viz manga.

**Haki:** There are normally two Haki types that regular people can tap into: Kenbunshoku Haki which, broadly speaking, allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busoshoku Haki which allows individuals to project an invisible, spiritual armor around their body to enhance their power/defense/bypass Devil Fruit defenses. There is, however, a third type of Haki, Haoshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use; Ryokugyu can be assumed to hold at least expert-level skill with *Busoshoku* and *Kenbunshoku* Haki.

* **Busoshoku Haki (*Color of Armament*):** Ryokugyu can be assumed to hold at least expert-level skill with this Haki type. He can imbue root-like appendages connected to his body with Haki to increase their hardness/piercing power.

* **Kenbunshoku Haki (*Color of Observation*):** Ryokugyu can be assumed to hold at least expert-level skill with this Haki type.
