Hiruko Yuishi

Hiruko Yuishi played by Hiruko

## Overview

*Hiruko is a calm and laid back individual who simply doesn’t like to talk as much as others. He has always been like that, since his childhood he was always that one kid that was with everybody else, but still acted like a phantom, like he wasn’t even there. Instead of concentrating on others, he always concentrates on himself, rarely caring about what others think. If something doesn’t fit his ideals, he won’t even flinch to do something about it. Nonetheless, he still thinks about his actions, probably more than the average person. None of his deeds or actions are done without having thought about at least twice. Despite that, the young adventurer still can be very direct at people, oftentimes hurting them, but with intention. He always seeks out the good in people, mostly in pirates or criminals that have done bad acts. He also doesn’t necessarily think that Pirates are bad people just because they went down the path of piracy, he has found a lot of pirates that were sympathatic to him. Even though Hiruko is laid back, he always tries to do his best at everything possible.Mostly because of how his foster father raised him.*

## Mental Strenths

*Hiruko is a person with absolute focus and a clear mind. He always tries to think rationally and never gets distracted when he lays his eyes on something. His determination is also something to boast about. When he has set a goal in his mind, he will do absolutely everything to reach it, no matter what.*

*The young Marine is also blessed with natural intelligence, he is quick to grasp and learn new things as well as being able to quickly solve riddles.*

## Mental Weaknesses

*Even though Hiruko is filled with determination and his ability of absolute focus, there will be times where he will reach an obstacle. If his mind is set on one thing, it will be that one thing alone and nothing in the world can change that. You could say he is quite naive when it comes to setting goals and his determination, but he would never admit that actually.*

*Hobbies and Interests: Adventures and learning about everything the world has to offer. Does not matter if it is Art, Weapons, Ruins or Books. He pretty much loves history.*

## History

*The Yuishi Family, known for their excellent art pieces sold worldwide. They are loved especially by the nobles. The Yuishi’s dedicated their life towards art pieces and paintings as the nobles paid a fortune towards the Yuishi’s. They began expressing their emotions and ambitions with art, showing their ideals and passion through their paintings. Unfortunately, money changes people a lot. Soon after they have made a contract with specific noble families, Greed struck their heart. They started to beget children just so they could get even more money.*

*And that is, where Hiruko was born. They secluded children that showed zero potential in art whatsoever, but preferred Hiruko due to the fact that he looked like a model. Perfect face, perfect hair, perfect body. Until his 5th birth year, he was treated like a king, almost like a noble child. The Yuishi’s had massive plans for this child. They wanted him to inherit their industry with the nobles and make him the face of the family. Soon after his 5th birthday, his parents wanted to start with his training to be a true artist. After he was sent in front of a canvas, his life destiny suddenly changed. He looked up to his parents and tilted his head to the side with a curious look on his face.*

***“Mom, Dad? What are colours?”***

*He asked unimpressed with no emotion whatsoever. His parents were shocked, the whole Yuishi Family was shocked. They bought an extraordinary doctor to find out what’s wrong with their prodigy. Shockingly, the doctor diagnosed Hiruko with Monochromacy, a disease which causes full colour blindness, being unable to see colours for their whole life.*

*Desperately, they tried to find a solution. Weirdly enough, they only thought about the money again and did the unimaginable.*

*The Yuishi Family put Hiruko on the street.*

*Soon after he was sent to bed and began to sleep, they just placed him in a dark alley somewhere in Loguetown. For them it was the smartest thing to do and if you think about the money and profit it was probably worth it as they can just create another baby. From a humane point of view it was unforgivable.*

*The next morning, he woke up in a warm bed to the smell of fresh food. He stood up and slowly sneaked to the door to linger to see where the smell was coming from. He saw a massive and giant man standing in the kitchen, humming a song with a voice as deep as the ocean. He noticed the little child standing by the door and called him to sit down and eat with him. Hiruko was curious but also scared, but the old man gave nothing but warmth towards little Hiruko. The next couple days he simply took care of Hiruko, but didn’t talk with him at all. Young Hiruko found that oddly enough, but decided to go without as he spread out such a warmth, he couldn’t have harmed him at all.*

*One day, Hiruko woke up sooner than usual and heard loud and shattering sounds from somewhere. He still wasn’t accommodated to this new environment which is why he had to search for those weird sounds. Soon after, he found a big training room in which he entered. Right after he entered, a huge Ranyaku flew in his direction, but he managed to escape the life-threatening by instinctively dodging to the right. Still, a glimpse of the wind slicer caught his left eye, leaving a horizontal cut there. The old man’s eyes widened as he immediately rushed towards Hiruko. Unsurprisingly, he thought that the little kid suffered under a massive shock, but he was just standing still, holding his left eye wiping the blood away. He started to tear up naturally due to the pain, but he smiled afterwards and said.*

***“That was cool!”***

*The old man was surprised for a few moments, but then began to laugh, crouching down to pat Hiruko’s head. It was also the first time he started to speak and it was the first major change for Hiruko’s life.*

*Akihiko Tiger, Commodore in Loguetown and a highly praised Marine soldier. He was roughly standing at 7’9” with around 400lbs of pure muscle. Loguetown loved him not because of his fighting prowess, but just because of his natural warmth and kindness that he spreads. Since that one day, he started to talk with Hiruko more and more, telling him stories about his marine life. He was oftentimes offered the position of a vice-admiral due to his mastery of the Rokushiki and his results in total but he declined every time as he wanted to stay in his hometown where he just felt home.*

*Akihiko always wanted to have children, but a rare disease made him unable to impregnate women. He also never knew why he found Hiruko on the streets but he said that his instincts told him to pick that little child up and raise it. They were destined to be together.*

*Years have passed in which Hiruko got educated in the arts of Rokushiki and fighting in general. Since that day, when he got hit by the Ranyaku, he was astonished by fighting and combat in general. Even though Akihiko has that kind and warm personality normally, when they are fighting he completely changes. And quite frankly, Hiruko inherited exactly that, the sudden switch of personalities whenever they get into a fight. Akihiko was very educative, always correcting Hiruko mid-fight, but he would never go easy on him. He wouldn’t even hesitate to break some of Hiruko’s bones if he wasn’t attentive. Somehow, Hiruko inherited some kind of a fighting spirit, learning quite fast. The training sessions became a daily thing. There were days where they trained nonstop, constantly for hours and hours as they both simply enjoyed improving themselves, even though Akihiko was a very old man.*

*Even before enrolling into Marine School in Loguetown, one day Hiruko abruptly learned how to use Armament Haki. He himself could not explain it to himself, but Akihiko, a proficient Haki User - who abstained from using it in fights - explained it to him. The traumatic experience of getting hit by a Ranyaku as a teenager probably led to Hiruko being able to use Armament Haki, but only for a few seconds with a lot of concentration. Akihiko also jokingly said that it was Hiruko’s exceptional willpower to provocate him.*

*Just after his 17th Birthday, Akihiko decided to enroll him into Marine School to learn the basics. Hiruko was always fascinated by these stories that his foster father told him. He wanted to go on adventures too, make himself a name, be feared all over the sea by pirates. There were so many things that Hiruko liked to do, there was almost no end to his imagination of aspirations. Due to his ambitions and his experience with Akihiko, Hiruko took the Marine School by storm and enrolled as a Seaman Apprentice.*

*After he became a Seaman Apprentice, it was time to say goodbye. And honestly, it was quite hurtful. Even though Hiruko requested to stay in Loguetown, the Marines said they would need a fast-learner and proficient fighter like Hiruko in another Blue as the East Blue was one of the weakest ones when it came to piracy. And with that, he was transferred to a Marine Base in the North Blue under a Marine Captain.*
