Simetra

* Pre-Timeskip
* Post-Timeskip

**Attumas Vonas Saimetra**, more commonly known as simply **Simetra** (シメトラ*Shimetora* ) is a pirate from South Blue and the captain and helmsman of the rookie Polymer Pirates, as well as it’s top fighter. After accidentally entering the life of a being a pirate, they have ended up becoming one of the most notorious members of the current and possibly final pirate era.

Born on Baterilla, Simetra grew up with no sense of purpose or desire to even live until meeting the Marine captain, Kazuma ( who would eventually become the Marine admiral “Daitatsu” ), who instilled in him a will to find their purpose in life. After receiving the Flub-Flub Fruit from him, Simetra ate the fruit after finding themself in the jaws of death which gave them the ability to turn their body into slime. Learning of the fact that the notorious old era pirate, Portgas D. Ace, had come from his hometown, Simetra decided to brave the sea to visit the grave of the pirate in the Grand Line’s New World hoping that he will find his purpose along the way.

Ending up accidentally being labeled as a pirate due to the actions of his future crew members, Simetra dedicated his life to protecting his friends and helping them pursue their own goals as they sailed to his ultimate destination within the New World. Eventually the Polymer Pirates became one of the most notorious crews in the new era, leading to a massive bounty as he became more and more of a noticeable threat to the Marines and the new World Government.

## Appearance

As a child, Simetra was almost a zombie simply displaying almost no emotion at all until their encounter with Kazuma. Afterwards, Simetra’s emotions ran wild with almost no filter as they constantly ended up picking fights with anyone bad-mouthing the people they cared about. They were also known to have an almost permanent smile on their face as they tended to laugh comments about themself off more easily. They also began to have a much more powerful courage, being able to eat the Flub-Flub Fruit in one bite even knowing that they would be unable to swim or without even any guarantee that they’d be safe after consuming it.

As a pirate captain, Simetra is incredibly bold and usually has no fear jumping into battles with Marines and other pirates alike. While they don’t seek out danger or battle, they are quick to switch into combat mode when they or their friends are being attacked. This also lets them be level-headed when needing to make decisions on behalf of their rather small sized crew, knowing that their crew will have their back in the dangerous situations the world and, specifically, the Grand Line will bring.

Most of these personality traits come from being an okama, specifically a “Newkama”, a trait they adopted from Kazuma who was also one. Most okama have strong bonds and feelings of friendship towards others and are more than willing to die for those they care about. This also makes them believe they are beyond the beliefs of a binary gender system, experiencing life as whatever they wish to be in whatever way they want. Like being pirates, they too are truly free beyond simply the rules of society but also the believed rules of nature by humans.

## Relationships

### **Lily**

The first crew member of the Polymer Pirates and the first friend Simetra made at the beginning of their journey, Lily is a mink who was attempting to run from debt collectors before roping in Simetra after lying to them that they were her boss. After easily defeating them using the powers of their devil fruit, Simetra became a pirate after being roped into the dangers associated by simply being with Lily as she had gained a bounty due to the influence of her debt collectors with the marines on the island they met on.

Despite forcing them into the life of piracy, Simetra didn’t hold any ill will towards her and in fact felt like living as a pirate may give them the purpose they were searching for. Lily was mainly confused by Simetra’s personality before accepting what she had gotten herself into by associating with him.

After claiming the title of captain as Lily had called Simetra her boss, she occasionally began attempting to battle Simetra for the title due to her wish for people to not end up being hurt by her actions. However, due to the overwhelming difference between the two in terms of combat prowess as well as the abilities of the Flub-Flub Fruit, she tends to end up losing every single time.

### **Octo**

After joining the crew, Octo ended up in a sort of student position with Simetra. Being more knowledgeable about the world, as the latter had been on the sea for longer and had experienced more, Simetra helped Octo reach their potential in using their Devil Fruit. Despite this, their relationship is much more carefree than the typical student-mentor relationship. It’s not uncommon to see the two, and even other members of the crew joining in, joking around or causing some sort of chaos aboard the ship.

### **Queenie**

Queen is probably the most interesting case of the Polymer Pirates, being one of the only crew members to start as Simetra’s enemy before joining the crew.

Despite this, after joining the crew Queenie became one of the few people Simetra could fully put their confidence in. They could always count on her having their back in battle or when putting their foot down on crew decisions. But aside from all that serious talk, Simetra and Queenie are easily flowing constantly on the same wavelength. It’s not uncommon for the two to match up words when speaking with the other crew members or laughing at the antics of Octo. It’s not a stretch to say the two are possibly the closest members of the crew.

### **Austin**

Austin eventually becomes a second mentor to Simetra after the discovery of their latent Haki abilities. The relationship is built on mutual respect, but it’s not uncommon for the two to simply take it easy together. Simetra always makes it a point to check in on ship maintenance or even upgrades Austin plans on making to the Polymer Pirate’s ship. Occasionally, Austin will also step in on the mentor role Simetra has with Octo, seeing as the former has little actual training in teaching others.

### **Admiral Daitatsu**

Simetra hasn’t actually seen Daitatsu in the 17 years since they visited their island, back when they were known by Kazuma. Despite how much of an influence they had on their life, the two didn’t spend enough time together to truly develop their bond. Nevertheless, Simetra views Daitatsu as a father figure and even a savior he holds deep respect for. Though they know he is now a Marine admiral, Simetra holds onto the belief that despite them being thrust into the life of a pirate, Daitatsu would accept that was the reality that Simetra was destined for.

Daitatsu, being an okama, also influenced Simetra to change their lifestyle after meeting them. As they grew up, they became more disillusioned with the concepts of gender thanks to Daitatsu’s image of what a truly powerful and good person is.

## Abilities and Powers

### **Devil Fruit**

> *Main Article: Fura-Fura no Mi*

Simetra ate the Flub-Flub Fruit, a special Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that lets them create, control and transform their body into slime at will. They can control the exact viscosity allowing them to flow like a liquid as well as be dense enough to trap things within their slime, though all forms of their slime can easily be sliced with sharp objects. While having the weaknesses of a normal Devil Fruit user, their slime is also diluted by water causing its viscosity to be stuck as a flowing liquid.

Normally Simetra tends to use the vast amount of slime they can produce to simply overwhelm their opponent and keep them from fighting back. Although if the opponent is more than they can handle, they will use their slime in more creative ways such as creating additional limbs, turning their slime into improvised weapons like whips, or simply enlarging parts of their body to hit their opponents with devastating power.

Due to being a special Paramecia-type, Simetra’s body also takes on the properties of a Logia user allowing them to morph their body to avoid attacks and completely recover from otherwise lethal attacks. Simetra can also use their slime to create constructs that other people, namely their allies, can use for a limited time.

#### Grade: Store

Due to their nature as a Slime Human, Simetra is able to store a large array of objects and elements in their body to bring on a transformation depending on how it is utilized. Most of these forms depend on or are at least catalyzed by their crewmates, literally turning their friends into their power in some instances.

One of these instances was brought upon by their shipmate, Rabbit, using their latent mink abilities to supercharge them into **Grade: Store, Electro** where Simetra stores vast amounts of electricity in their shoulders and transmits it through their body into a pair of whips that are highly charged.

Other versions include **Flare**, **Balloon**, and **Shell**, the latter of which is utilized by encasing another crew member inside of their own body and becoming a protective armor around them as they utilize their own power to defeat their opponent.

#### Grade: Form

After learning Busoshoku Haki, Simetra invented a new set of grades utilizing the technique to create even more powerful forms created using their own strength to overcome their opponents. By morphing his body into a more top heavy form and coating his body in Busoshoku Haki, they take on their first shown form. Known as **Fooman**, they become a vicious charging guardian lion-dog capable of steamrolling opponents with their surprising speed and utilizing their overwhelming body mass to crush them.

### **Haki**

> *Main Article: Haki*

At a certain point, Simetra discovers and begins to train in the use of haki. Originally capable of only the two most common forms, Simetra was eventually pushed to activate their latent ability to use Haoshoku Haki.

#### Haoshoku Haki

After an encounter with another Haoshoku Haki user, almost leading to the complete defeat of their entire crew, Simetra awakened his dormant ability to use this haki to combat and eventually defeat their opponent in combat. While not entirely in control of its use, Simetra is being trained by their shipwright, Austin who is also a Haoshoku Haki user, to better utilize all forms of Haki including Haoshoku Haki.

#### Busoshoku Haki

Simetra is most proficient in Busohoku Haki, using the ability to harden their slime body and constructs even further than normal. It is also heavily utilized in their Grade: Form techniques such as Fooman and Mantoman, where their Haki takes the forms of purple flames across their body similar to the transformations of the ancient Monkey D. Luffy.

#### Kenbunshoku Haki

Simetra uses Kenbunshoku Haki mainly as an assist to their normal defensive capabilities. Other than that, it is typically their weakest point in Haki usage, but still comes in clutch when it is needed.
