Aziel Hyori

* Manga
* Anime

**Aziel Hiyori** is a famous pirate who's active in the New World. The man is one of the four emperors of the sea, and with that, the youngest ever to achieve such a big title. Aziel is also the captain of the Regalia Pirates (Scroll down for further information) and holds a high command on Elbaf, giving the island protection in return for command and a location to place his base-of-operations.

## Appearance

Aziel is a tall man with tan skin and a muscular build. He has golden eyes and very long, purple hair tied in a ponytail. He wears floor-length purple and white robes, a white turban with feather decorations, and pointed red shoes. Sinbad also wears a lot of jewelry, most of which are actually the Seaprism-Stone accesoires (bangle, necklace, ring, etc.) he has collected over the years of him being a pirate, though he has had his hoop earrings since childhood. Sinbad also has a long, thin ahoge that sticks straight up. He carries himself confidently and usually has an easy smile on his face.

## Personality

Aziel is a welcoming individual. It's easy to have a conversation with him or share a drink. This is easily viewable if you see how he treats strangers that visit Elbaf without any bad intentions; showing them around isn't a problem for him, as he could brag while doing so, which is secretly something he enjoys a lot. Overall, he's also very calm and well-minded with a lot of strong beliefs of his own, and he's not easy to fight with someone else. However, if Aziel gets his hands on around three bottles of beer, his personality can completely change into a more laid-back, energetic, and charismatic individual. This is why he often drinks when meeting other stronger individuals.

There are, of course, exceptions. Aziel despises any commissioned marine officer (Ensign, Lieutenant Junior Grade, etc., all the way to fleet-admiral), Cipher Pol agent, or high-ranked government official. This is due to his background, personal experiences, and knowledge he holds. They are nothing more than government dogs to him. If Aziel ever comes across one of these people, he would still not attack but rather wait for them to make the first move, so that he can give himself permission to fight back. But even if that happens, Aziel avoids killing others. He only kills if it has to happen according to himself. This gives the Emperor a kill-count below 50.

## Relationships

### Elbaf

Aziel has a very good bond with prince Loki, and Elbaf as a whole. Having a non-official contract to support each other, both sides hold a lot of respect for one another. Aziel and his crew, the Regalia Pirates, offer Elbaf protection from enemies such as other Yonko, generation zealots, and obviously the world government. And in return, they get a place where they stay, a base of operations and a alliance with the Giant Warrior Pirates.

### Regalia Pirates

Being the captain of the Regalia Pirates, his crew respects him a lot. And he respects every single member back and treats them not as nationals; rather, they are like a very big friend group or family.

## Background

### 1482-1484 - Infant Rocks Pirate

On a sunny day, in the middle of the Grand Line, a young boy was born on the ship of two travelers. These two individuals were known as 'Niko', a man named after the sun-god himself, and his wife 'Erika'. Niko and Erika Hiyori traveled all over the world, all four blues, and of course, both parts of the Grand Line. They have literally been almost everywhere, Wano, Loguetown, Germa Kingdom, the White Sea, Sixis Island, Banaro, and much more. But the most notable place was 'Ohara'. There they learned about poneglyphs, and that set the two on an adventure to uncover all poneglyphs.

Niko was a very strong individual for his time, while his pregnant wife Erika was one of the most intelligent people that have set foot on earth. This caused them to be a good team, and they found countless regular poneglyphs, and one poneglyph located on Wano. However, with all the knowledge they carried, the world government began to fear them. And thus, they both got attacked by multiple ships of navy officers, and they killed both Niko and the pregnant Erika. But there was one mistake they made; they left the bodies to rot with their ship in the middle of the sea. This caused a miracle to happen. Even though Erika was dead, a few minutes after, a baby was born. This baby was probably going to die because there was no one to take care of him.

But then, with a large twist, there was a nearby ship that found the abandoned ship and decided to rob it. The crew of that ship were the Rocks Pirates. At first, they were going to leave the kid to die, but that idea changed after the Rocks Pirate, John, decided to take the baby with him. The Rocks Pirates were savage, and no one really liked one another; this made it hard for John to take care of the baby. But eventually, he still succeeded. Even though Captain John was known to be greedy and a drunk, he still cared for the baby the best way he could. John named him Aziel, because he liked the name and expected much of the baby in the future. And his second name would be Hiyori, because John believed that Aziel was a pure soul that could bring Harmony to the world.

### 1484 - God Valley Accident

In the two years that have passed, John's way of raising the little child was very bad; that's why an unnamed fishman of the crew helped take care of him. The child was now two whole years old, but on a fateful day, his whole life was gonna turn around. Because when the God Valley accident happened, the young Aziel was left on their ship while the Rocks Pirates fought for the Devil Fruits. The baby cried and cried, but when the crew came back, the captain, Rocks D. Xebec, was gone.

### 1484-1489 - New Crew

The crew decided to split up, and the baby Aziel was taken by John when he formed his own unnamed pirate crew. There he stayed for another five or so years, sailing with him and his new crew, and he was around seven years old around the five years. Helping him collect tons of treasure, even though he wasn't fully supportive of John's ways. John taught him about the ways of Linlin, Kaido, Newgate, and the others. This made Aziel despise the other members of the Rocks Pirates, except for Xebec and John.

### 1490 - John's death

For unknown reasons, John peacefully passed away at a fairly young age, leaving Aziel and the rest of the crew alone. John's treasure was already hidden somewhere, so the crew split, and Aziel went his own way again. He was around eight at the time, and with nowhere to go, he went to the nearest island he could find and lived there for a long while, all the way until he was sixteen years old (year 1498).

### 1498-1503 - Regalia Pirates

Aziel was still 16 years old, and after stealing some money, jewelry, and a dinghy, he set sail into the first half of the Grand Line. He was already fairly strong and had a small bounty of 45 million beli, from his time with John and the robbery he did. On his travels, he found multiple members for his crew, and he kept growing, eventually reaching the New World and being around the level of several New World pirates, such as Red-Haired Shanks and Dracule Mihawk. Those two were certainly his rivals, and he often fought with both. And after five years of traveling on the Grand Line, he became an emperor of the sea, alongside three of his former crew members: Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard. He was 21 at that time and had also recently made some ties with Elbaf.

## Abilities

### Swordsmanship

Aziel is a master when it comes to swordsmanship, using his own supreme-graded meito named 'Ryuuji.' Ryuuji is almost fully made out of sea-stone, allowing Aziel to easily overpower opponents who have eaten a Devil Fruit. He can also use multiple more advanced techniques while using Ryuuji. Those include the famous **Yakkodori** for quick long-range attacks, **Daishinkan** to cause damage to the environment, **Clear Lance** as his own type of Geppo, **Kokujo O Tatsumak** for AOE. He can use these four abilities with only one sword.

### Combat Transformation

Utilizing a combination of his advanced Conqueror's and tribal Armament Haki, and his swordsmanship, Aziel can enter a special transformation that boosts his strength stat by 200, letting it go from 2251 to 2751. His clothing changes to a reddish color, resembling his Haki color and the regular color of Conqueror's Haki. His hair also gets darker and wilder. Aziel also gets a pattern of tribal Armament Haki surrounding his whole body with a pattern. Aziel rarely uses this mode, because he doesn't fight worthy opponents much.

### Haki

Aziel is one of the most proficient users of Haki who's currently alive, being easily on par with the likes of the other emperors and Shanks. He mastered all three types of Haki, unlocking all passive abilities while also having the ability to see in the future, use his Conqueror's Haki to the next level (Conq coating), and being able to destroy people from the inside out by using an advanced form of Armament Haki.
