Kenji Okiyo

## Appearance

Kenji towers at an impressive height of 6'4 feet, commanding attention with his formidable presence. His vibrant red hair and striking yellow eyes add to his captivating appearance, reflecting his fierce spirit. Adorned in a heavily modified marine outfit, Kenji's attire bears a remarkable resemblance to the legendary Samurai Armor crafted in the country of Wano. The thin sheets of armor-plating, forged from exceptional alloys, boast remarkable durability capable of withstanding even the most powerful of blows. While formidable, these defenses are not invulnerable, susceptible to damage under extreme force.

Completing his ensemble, Kenji dons a flowing blue cloak that envelops his sleeves, cascading well beyond his knees. This distinctive garment adds an element of elegance to his overall appearance, further accentuating his warrior-like aura. As Kenji traverses the realms of battle, his resolute spirit and impressive attire make him a formidable force to be reckoned with.

### Backstory

Kenji Oniyo was born to parents with no names, or that’s what Kenji knew as he had forgotten his parents name due to the traumatic experience he had experienced when he was merely a child. Kenji lost his parents at an early age, and was adopted by the Marine Corps after he was saved from assassins.

Kenji would quickly be inducted into Marine life as he would be sculpted into the perfect killing machine, as the unending vengeance and range he has on pirates was the perfect fuel for a Marine Killing Machine. Kenji would later reveal his hidden ability of channeling an Aura that takes shape into the form of Lighting, similar to Goro-Goro no Mi but needs a proper outlet to use.

For the majority of Kenji’s life he would work and live with the Marines. It was rare to see someone outside from Wano, so Kenji was rather unique in a way. Kenji would first get his recognition after killing a pirate who had a bounty of well over 100 million berries. This feat was presumed to be impossible, but a badly wounded Kenji would arrive in the doorsteps of the marines, with a bloodied corpse of a pirate. Kenji had the option to bring the pirates alive, but he chose the simpler option of killing them. Kenji would be considered a prodigy amongst the Marines, and would be highly praised for his commitment to eliminating the pirate scourge.

Kenji would be promoted Lieutenant Junior Grade due to that single feat, skyrocketing him to the top ranks of the Marine Corps, he would be 21 when this happened. Not a year later, Kenji would continue his onslaught by targeting High Bounty Pirates specifically for the majority of his early career. By doing this he would not only accumulate the strength to reach a higher rank in the Marine Corps, but also gain experience and knowledge from fighting such pirates. He is currently the age of 24, and has reached the rank of Commander, but he claims that he should be Commodore by now, but due to his reckless and almost feral nature when it comes to killing pirates he has been blocked this rank till further notice.

Kenji has currently been sent to the Old World, specifically the East Blue to investigate the occurrences of powerful pirates.

## Recap

### Bane of Pirates

Kenji made his grand entrance into Loguetown, a tremendous impact sent him crashing into the ocean, creating a massive wave that disrupted the surroundings. The force of the impact shattered the ice that Kuroi had created, scattering it in all directions. Kenji's arrival was not without purpose, as he sought to claim the head of the elusive Sama D. Kuroi. However, despite his efforts, Kuroi and her crew cunningly managed to evade capture, slipping away from Kenji's grasp.

### Betrayal

In a shocking turn of events, Kenji betrayed the Marine Corps and allied himself with none other than "The Strongest Creature," Jophiel D. This alliance marked a significant shift in Kenji's allegiances, as he officially joined the ranks of the pirate world. Following his betrayal, Kenji's bounty skyrocketed to 150,000,000, making him a formidable force in the eyes of both the Marines and rival pirate factions. Despite his newfound notoriety, Kenji remained steadfast in his resolve to pursue his own agenda and fight for his own cause.

## Techniques

* **Unbridled Channeling** Kenji’s Channeling Bracelets let out a powerful thunder-like aura that comes from the skies, similar to Goro-Goro no Mi. Unlike Goro-Goro these “thunder-bolts” do no real damage, but simply amplify the strength of Kenji.

* **Blades of the Thunder God** His Channeling Bracelets constructs two blade-like appendages that come out from his arm, made from pure blue-like energy, most likely his aura in a more physical form.

* **Wrath of Thunder** Charging forward with both of his channeling high concentrations of his aura. He’d rush towards the opponent as he sends a barrage of hits that inflict a thunder-like effect upon the opponent. Each strike will inflict almost like an electrifying shock, too many hits can cause paralytic shock.
