**Verona The Laughing Joke** was the character played by 2Spooky in Rustage's One Piece D&D streams. He is the navigator and sniper of The Devil's Luck Pirates. He is on a quest to find out the truth behind his father's death and seemingly joined the crew to accomplish that purpose. Verona takes the class of a Fighter, specializing in ranged combat as an Arcane Archer. Verona has also multiclassed into the Artificer class. There used to be a contract on his head before the defeat of the Eight Flames.

## **Appearance**

Verona has long silver hair, a pair of black goggles, a white bandage around his right arm and a slightly muscular build. He wears a purple button up vest with a black, skin tight, very short sleeved shirt that reaches up covering his mouth and nose. He also wears black pants. Verona also possesses a holster connected to a brown strap that sits across his chest.

It was later revealed that under Verona's face mask the lower half of his face was burnt to a horrifying degree. He also wears a metal should guard created by Lyssa to help protect him and improve his accuracy. After the battle against The All Mother, Verona tosses the purple button up vest, which turned out to be his fathers, into the ocean. He now wears a purple leather jacket that was made by Lyssa.

### **Personality**

Verona is a fairly quiet person and seems to be the most logical thinker in the crew. At first, Verona would often stay at a distance both in combat and out of it, only really speaking when informing the crew of an idea he has or reporting to the Captain, otherwise staying to himself. However, over the course of their adventures, Verona has seemed to have gained confidence in himself and opened up more, contributing more freely, making his plans known unprompted, and laughing and joking with his friends (often being teased for his tendency to hit allies). He seems to dislike overly loud and energetic people to some degree, as seen with Cleo. Verona is known for his use of one-liners, typically to great and/or comedic effect, and is similarly known for dramatic speeches when the time is right. He also really likes pineapple juice. His name is often said to be "a girl's name" or "feminine", as his mother was very narcissistic and named him after herself, even though he wasn't a girl.

Verona also suffers from pyrophobia, brought on by his injury and the burning of his father at the hands of Captain Marrow. He has managed to overcome this fear slightly over time. Verona also appears to have some sociopathic tendencies, not feeling anything when innocents are brutally slaughtered in front of him.

In the finale, after killing Marrow with a incendiary bullet, Verona has overcome his fear of fire.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

#### Overview

Verona possesses a Blunderbuss Short Musket Rifle nicknamed Little Timmy in memory of a young boy from Gallows Island. He uses this weapon to great effect, rarely missing a target (although he occasionally hits the wrong one). Verona carries two scimitars for use in melee combat, though he greatly favors fighting at a distance, in part due to his average strength. He also carries around his special bullets (listed below) and the materials required to make them, along with a pair of Sea Prism Stone handcuffs, and two laser eyeballs originally possessed by his mother. After the events of Episode 19, Verona acquired three inventions from Florence; a flying telescope, a portable cannon, and a mechanical bird for Verona. Verona nicknamed the bird "Florence's Machine" after its creator. During Episode 20, Verona also gained the ability to use Observation Haki, although he still getting the basics. Lyssa also gave Verona a shoulder guard that will help defend him and increase his accuracy.

Verona has a letter from Captain Marrow to his father.

#### Action Surge

Verona can push himself beyond his normal limits for a moment. On his turn, he can take one additional action.

Once he uses this feature, he must finish a short or long rest before he can use it again

#### Second Wind

After years of training, Verona can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + his fighter level (16)

#### Bullets

As an Arcane Archer Fighter, Verona has six types of specialized bullets that he can use twice per short rest.

* **Banishing Bullet**

A variation of Banishing Arrow, Verona can use this bullet to temporarily banish his target to an alternate plane, should his target fail a Charisma saving throw. At the end of his target's next turn, they reappears in the space they vacated or in the nearest unoccupied space if their original space is occupied. Within the context of the game, these attacks are said to send their target to the Shadow Realm. It is not known which extradimensional space this sends the target to, be it Ape's Concert or one generated by a devil fruit such as the Yami Yami no mi. Verona has dubbed this particular attack under the title "Shadow Games!"

* **Beguiling Bullet**

A variation of Beguiling Arrow, Verona can use this bullet to deal extra psychic damage to his target and force them to make a Wisdom saving throw. If the target fails the saving throw, Verona can make them temporarily become charmed by an ally of his within 30 feet of the target. Verona has named this attack "Love Struck!"

* **Bursting Bullet**

A variation of Bursting Arrow that Verona can use to create a great explosion, dealing extra force damage to his target and creatures within 10 feet of the impacted target. Verona has used this bullet to sink ships in the past. Verona calls this attack "Atom Smash!"

* **Grasping Bullet**

Verona had obtained four Grasping Bullets from Bullet, which are a variation of Grasping Arrow. When this bullet strikes its target, grasping, poisonous brambles erupt from it and wrap around the target. The creature hit by the arrow takes poison damage, its speed is reduced, and it takes additional slashing damage each time it moves 1 foot or more without teleporting.

* **Shock Bullet**

Verona had obtained some Shock Bullets from Lyssa, which are a variation of Shock Arrow. When this bullet strikes its target the attack deals lightning damage instead of its normal damage type. They also must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be stunned by electric shocks, and drop anything they are carrying, until the end of their next turn.

* **Seeking Bullet**

A variation of Seeking Arrow that Verona can use to grant his bullet the ability to seek out his target, allowing it to curve and twist its path in search of its prey. When he uses this option, he doesn’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, he chooses one creature he has seen in the past minute. The bullet flies toward that creature, moving around corners if necessary and ignoring three-quarters cover and half cover. If the target is within the weapon’s range and there is a path large enough for the bullet to travel to the target, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes damage as if it were hit by the bullet, plus extra force damage, and Verona learns the target’s current location. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and he doesn’t learn its location.

#### Curving Shot

At 7th level, Verona learned how to direct an errant bullet toward a new target. When he makes an attack roll with a magic bullet and misses, he can use a bonus action to reroll the attack roll against a different target within 60 feet of the original target.

#### Observation Haki

Verona has a natural leaning towards Observation Haki, fitting of a navigator. Verona has used this Haki in battle, first against his grandfather, Inquisitor Cornelius, and Commander Kasparov. Up to twice per long rest Verona can 1d8 to his attack rolls.

#### Extra Attacks

After many years of training, Verona can attack up to three times a turn.

#### Indomitable

Verona can reroll a saving throw that he fails two times , but he must use the new roll, whatever it is.

#### Tinkering

After multiclassing into Artificer, Verona can now make small gadgets that can do some of these things:

* The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.

* Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.

* The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.

* A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.

#### Artificer Infusions

After reaching 2nd level in Artificer, Verona can now infuse objects with special powers by tinkering with them. Verona can only use 2 at a time.

Currently, Verona knows 4 infusions, but only 1 is known:

Enhanced Defense (Active)

#### **Sharpshooter**

* Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on Verona's ranged weapon attack rolls.

* Verona's ranged weapon attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.

* Before Verona makes an attack with a ranged weapon that he is proficient with, he can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If that attack hits, he adds +10 to the attack's damage.

#### Ani Ani no Mi

Verona has a paramecia Devil Fruit named the Ani Ani no Mi that lets him animate and give temporarily life to otherwise inanimate objects. The size of object that can be animated and the length of time it remains animated increase as the fruit is used. Because his limitations currently aren't fully known, he may be able to animate creatures from fire, water, and the like. Starting at level 10 Verona is now able to animate two things at once.

#### Navigation

Verona is the navigator of the crew. He is quite perceptive and has been shown to have skill in guiding the crew as they sail, managing to guide the crew to an island two days away in an incredibly small boat. He also navigates the Grand Line with relative ease, even on ships he's never been on before.

#### Gadgets

After multiclassing into Artificer, Verona has access to spells that have been reflavored as gadgets and strange devices he invented.

* **Respiratory Mask**

A respiratory mask that he can use to stabilize unconscious allies. This gadget represents the cantrip Spare the Dying

* **Caustic Bazooka**

A small vital of healing liquid that Verona made. This represents the spell Cure Wounds

#### Shoulder Guard

After the Crew rescued Aurelius, Lyssa gave to Verona this armor piece she crafted for him. It upgrades both Verona's accuracy and armor class, bringing them up by one point. It also gives Verona advantage at throwing small objects with the corresponding arm.

#### Small Skeleton

Lyssa also made Verona a child sized skeleton that he can animate, it also explodes, having 'Bomb' written on its forehead.

#### Rifle of Injustice

Formerly called Rifle of Justice. It is a weapon Verona took from Rear Admiral Jefferson after the Crew defeated him. It is very heavy and Verona has to roll with disadvantage whenever he tries to use it. In return it does more damage than his regular rifle (2d10).

Verona found a way to prevent its demerit by animating it with his Devil Fruit and having it shoot by itself. When animated the Rifle of Injustice assumes the accent and personality of a stereotypical American. Got destroyed at the final battle, its unknown if it was fixed after it.

#### Banana Sword

Gifted to Verona by Chip after the Crew's adventure in the Crystal Lagoon. It's Meito rank is unknown at the moment. It also had a curse that prevented Verona and the Crew from remembering about it until someone said the keyword "banana". This curse has been lifted in Episode 44, when Rustage also revealed its special ability, which forces any enemy hit by the weapon's attack to make a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone, as if slipping on a banana peel.

#### Ring of Divination

A ring the Crew stole from Big Top after his death. It allows Verona to roll 2 d20 at the start of the day and change one of his roles, or the enemy's roles, with one of the the results.

#### Love Gun

A gun stolen from one of Ragnar IV henchman named Richie, it has a similar effect to Verona Beguiling Bullet. On hit, Verona can use this special gun to make the target do a Wisdom saving throw. If the target fails the saving throw, Verona can make them temporarily become charmed by him or an ally of his within 30 feet of the target.

#### Void Shotgun

A gun taken from Crystal Pete after killing him in the fight against the Void Police. Does a lot more damage ( 4d8+5) but it can’t be used further than 10 feet from the enemy, has slightly less chance to hit(-1) and can only be shot twice per round.

#### Spinkle Potions

Its revealed that the sets of potions stolen by William was given to Verona, since them he has used them in smart ways to save the crew.

* Blue Substances - Turn into a liquid ("I couldn't feel my body, but I could!" - Ragnar). Used trying to liquefy Blue Blood at the finale, however it failed.
* Green Substances - Talk to animals (Parcel tongue). Used in Oasis party.
* Yellow Substances - Shrink in size to 'tiny' (Doesn't come with Gourd). Used to bring Pearl and Cyril to the Void Police Spaceship and to make blue blooded Ragnar in the finally smaller and less of a treat to the crew.
* Purple Substances - Duplicate the consumer (CANONICALLY William's and Verona favorite color) Used to duplicate blue blooded Ragnar in the Blue Blood fight.
* Red Substances - Instant love potion (the first person you look at). Not used yet.

## **Relationships**

### **Devil's Luck Pirates**

#### William

William and Verona get along quite quite swimmingly overall, having a high level of respect and trust for one another. William enjoys teasing Verona for his friendly fire at times, but also often listens to his advice about how to proceed with various ideas and plans. Verona and William also seem to have a dynamic-duo type of understanding for each other, especially when it comes to planning, it seems Verona is the 1st person William will go to for advice. Verona is also quite grateful for William's assistance in defeating Marrow, his father's killer, and devotes himself as the Navigator of the Devil's Luck Pirates.

#### Duros

Duros' strong sense of justice compliments Verona's pragmatic and logical approach to life quite well and they are shown to have a great amount of trust in each other throughout the crew's adventures. Duros often joins in on the teasing of Verona's habit of hitting allies, but likely means nothing by it. Verona also claims Duros is the most beautiful person he's seen.

#### Ragnar

Ragnar was the man to avenge Verona's father, having dealt the final blow to Captain Marrow. As a result, Verona is likely grateful of Ragnar and has a great amount of respect for his strength. On the other hand, Ragnar is shown to think of Verona as a good man and a better crewmate, often depending on him to cover his back during fights.

#### Pearl

Much like most of the crew, at first Verona was suspicious of Pearl, but as time went on he as well as the rest of the crew began to take a liking to her, eventually gaining a large amount of respect for her after she saved him from falling in Episode 3. The two have seemingly developed a mutual feeling of respect and trust since that encounter, especially once Pearl joined the crew in earnest. Verona had hit Pearl during a critical moment during the fight with The Timber Lord and was shown to be harboring some degree of guilt over what had happened.

#### Gravy

Verona enjoys Gravy's cooking just as much as any of the Devil's Luck Pirates and seems to respect him for his desire to turn away from his bloodstained past.

#### Louis Le'cloque

Louis was the man who taught Verona how to use a Log Pose, and as a result Verona seems to hold Louis in relatively high esteem. He showed great sympathy for Louis' plight involving his brother, The Timber Lord.

#### Lyssa

Verona and Lyssa seem to get along very well and have respect for each other due to their shared love for gadgets. It is likely due to this like-mindedness and Verona's overall demeanor that Lyssa eventually developed a crush on him by Episode 30. In Episode 26 Verona gives her a call on the Talkie Walkie and she tells him she hopes he'll return soon, because she's built something for him. Upon hearing this, William starts rooting for them to get together soon and jokingly says "Once this is over you are gonna go on a date with her!" to which Verona simply responds "Whatever you captain".

After the defeat of Dominius she says to Verona that she wants to "Explore further about their feelings", to which Verona replies by saying "I think we are reading the same book, but you might be a couple of chapters ahead of me", implying he does probably feel something for her, but that he will need time to process those feelings.

### **Family**

#### Captain Viridian

Marine Captain Viridian was Verona's father and someone Verona looked up to greatly. Uncovering the truth behind his death at the hands of Captain Marrow was Verona's primary motive for becoming a pirate. This influence was so great that Verona remarked to Florence in Episode 15 that had his father not been killed, Verona would have become a Marine, following in his father's footsteps, instead of a pirate.

#### Captain Verona

Verona was a Marine Captain and Verona's mother. She is regarded as a cold person and seems to share Verona's love of gadgets, but to a darker degree. Verona believes she helped kill his father. She was the Captain of the Marine Branch on the Piramid-Layered Island. During the G4 Arc, Verona revealed his disdain and hatred for his emotionless and apathetic mother and actively supported her assassination at the hands of the 2nd and 5th Flames.

#### V

The Eighth Flame is the leader of the Candles and also Verona's grandfather. he seems to think of Verona and his mother as disappointments although after seeing Verona standing before him in his room in the Candle Base he offers him that he can join him in his mission although in his proposal he ends up insulting Captain Viridian which makes Verona deny his proposal saying that anyone who insulted his father was an enemy of his.

#### V Jr.

Verona's uncle on V's side, who was V's apprentice. He currently works with the Aeons, so Verona still hates all of the V side of his family. After the battle with the All Mother, Verona kills him without a second thought.

### **Allies**

#### Atom

Verona was quite suspicious of Atom at first, a suspicion later justified through Atom's attacking of Pearl and swift escape. He and William later relieved themselves in Atom's quarters as a form of petty vengeance, but soon grew to feel bad for what they had done when they realized that Atom's cause was truly noble and good. When Atom died, Verona could only look on in fear of Captain Marrow, but shored up his resolve to help defeat the menacing marine in battle in the throne room of the Tarako Kingdom. He would later honor Atom's memory by naming his Bursting Bullets after the man.

#### Hemlock

Verona, alongside the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates, fought and defeated Hemlock in battle. After her surrender, they made her assist them in fighting The Timber Lord, although Verona certainly did not trust her at all. After the fighting, they allowed her to remain on L'Arbor in peace.

#### Florence

Verona initially held no strong opinion regarding Florence, as the Devil's Luck Pirates spared him mainly on a whim. Florence, as a member of the marines, had at one point served under Verona's father. When asked, he comforted Verona slightly by letting him know his father was an excellent captain and a good man. He was also commissioned by Verona in Episode 15 to produce some special inventions for Verona to use with his Devil Fruit in return for his freedom, to which he agreed. Overall, it can be concluded through their interactions that Florence and Verona had a cordial and friendly relationship. After Florence's death, Verona vowed to avenge the young Marine and named the mechanical bird after him, dubbing it "Florence's Machine."

### **Enemies**

#### Captain Marrow

As the killer of Verona's father and the reason Verona became a pirate, Verona absolutely despised Marrow. After declaring his heritage and desire for vengeance during the throne room battle in the Tarako Kingdom, Verona took on Marrow with the help of his crew, eventually killing him and avenging his father's death.

#### The Timber Lord

Verona fought The Timber Lord alongside the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates, eventually defeating him and freeing Ragnar's family.

#### Cleo

Verona found Cleo immensely irritating, finding it extremely difficult to interact with her for even short periods of time. This is likely due to his lack of trust for her, in conjunction with her attitude and energetic demeanor. He seemed to show significant relief when he spotted an island the crew could head onto (thus escaping Cleo's presence for some time).

#### Arzen

Verona hates Arzen for tearing off Cyril's arm. experimenting on people, and almost cutting off William's hand.

#### Trevor

Verona doesn't like Trevor, for kidnapping Boss, fighting the Crew, and slashing him down when they first met.

#### The All Mother

Being the one who was indirectly responsible for having his father murdered, Verona hated her. However after realizing that she was just a victim used by evil people, Verona did his very best to try to save her. When William's life was in danger, Verona was forced to take the All Mother's life.

## **History**

### Past

Verona's parents were both Marine Captains; his father was named Viridian and his mother was named Verona. While Verona's mother was very cold and distant, often neglecting her child entirely, Viridian was an honorable and righteous man whom Verona looked up to greatly. This idolization was such that Verona wanted to become a Marine just like his father when he grew up. Another important figure of Verona's childhood was Dogtooth, a friend of Viridian's in the Marines who Verona thought of as an uncle. Verona would often spend his time by tinkering with objects, the only habit he seemed to inherit from his mother, especially bullets. This trait is likely the origin of the special bullets he wields in combat.

However, this peaceful way of life wouldn't last forever. One day, while Verona's mother was absent from the house yet again, Viridian returned home in a great panic. He was almost incoherent, ranting about a great secret he had discovered about the Marines. Before he could explain what exactly he had learned to his son, knocking came from the front door. Thinking quickly, Viridian hid his son under some loose floorboards and told him to be as silent as he could. Upon answering the door, he was greeted by the face of Dogtooth, and looked incredibly relieved to see his friend. Instead of greeting him warmly, however, Dogtooth raised a gun and shot his friend through the heart several times, killing him.

Upon seeing his father fall to the ground, Verona let out an involuntary peep of shock and horror at what he had witnessed; this was the moment that sealed his fate. Having given away his presence to Dogtooth and the other Marines that had come with him to kill Verona's father, he was helpless as they set fire to his family home. They laughed sadistically and celebrated, even playing violins as the house went up in flames, burning Viridian's body to ashes and presumably ending his son's life.

In spite of this, Verona barely managed to escape the flames and hid in the forest nearby his house. Although he managed to keep his life, his face was burned horribly by the flames, and he developed a severe case of pyrophobia. Out of terror at being discovered and in the hope that his mother would come back to help him, Verona waited for several days in those woods. Days passed, and his mother was nowhere to be seen. Realizing that she was likely one of the Marines who had caused Viridian's death and didn't care at all for him, Verona disavowed her as his mother. At the young age of 12, Verona was both left completely alone in the world and severely scarred. While waiting for his mother to come save him he had to live in the woods and was heavily traumatized by bugs crawling into his wounds.

Eventually, Verona decided to find out the truth behind his father's tragic death and get vengeance for what had happened to him. This determination would consume a decade of his life and eventually lead him towards a life of piracy. Eventually he met Rick D. Astley, a wealthy businessman-turned-pirate and a friend of William D. Chapston. Rick quickly convinced him to join his rookie pirate crew: in time, this would lead to Verona becoming the navigator and sniper of the Devil's Luck Pirates under Captain William.

At some point before becoming a pirate Verona found a mime marine in an alleyway. Believing that the mime might know something about his father's death, he tried talking to them. However, the mime only gestured towards Verona as if they knew nothing. This caused Verona to have resent mimes. Verona also implies that he killed this mime.

### Current storyline

Verona was on board of the pirate ship that housed all of the original members of the Devil's Luck Pirates. When the ship was struck by a typhoon and, as a result, found itself shipwrecked on the shores of a deserted island, Verona was among the few survivors and became one of the founding members of this new pirate crew. After meeting and teaming up with a mysterious young woman named Pearl the crew used her boat to reach civilization in the form of Gallows Island.

When they found themselves on Gallows Island, an eccentric island society where all criminals are hung until dead regardless of the severity of their crimes, the crew started looking for a ship. Together with his crewmates Verona visited the shop of Friggworth the shipwright, in the hopes of being able to procure a ship for themselves.

After spending years looking for his father's killer, almost giving up entirely, Verona had finally found Marrow's father on this island, leading to him discovering his very first clue in the form of a letter which confirmed that Marrow was indeed Dogtooth, his father's killer. Later, with the help of the crew, Marrow was killed in The Throne Room Battle of the Tarako Kingdom, thereby getting revenge for Verona's father. Although it was Ragnar who delivered the final blow, credit for Marrow's death was given to the captain William.

After the events at the Tarako Kingdom, the crew finally entered the Grand Line. There, they met the enigmatic Louis Le'cloque. After learning how to use a Log Pose from him and defeating some marines, Verona and the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates decided to head to L'Arbor in order to save Ragnar's family from The Timber Lord. After a series of battles and encounters, including running into and temporarily working with the 6th Flame Hemlock, the crew defeated The Timber Lord, who had turned out to be Louis' brother.

The crew then met Cleo, the 3rd Flame, who Verona almost instantly grew to dislike. He and the rest of the crew begrudgingly decided to enlist her help in reaching G4, where Boss, William's foster father, was said to be held.

During the raid on G4, Verona played a pivotal role. Verona pretended to be a Marine alongside the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates present to infiltrate the base, going by the alias "Carl." Upon arrival at the base in a Marine vessel, Verona would end up animating a hand that had been found in the storage crates of the ship as a means of scouting the base. This would cause Vice-Admiral Arzen, who arrived at the docks, to mistakenly assume Cyril was the animator of the hand, eventually costing Cyril one of his arms after Arzen learned that he was not capable of this ability.

After running into Trevor, Verona's true identity was accidentally revealed to the Commodore by William. Verona was subsequently defeated in the ensuing skirmish and then transported to a cell with the rest of the crew. When Vice-Admiral Arzen approached them to use William's body for his experiments, Verona attempted to cow the man by promising information about the animated hand, although this ultimately proved unsuccessful. William proceeded to use the Shatter-Shatter Fruit to break the floor and lockpicked the Sea Prism Stone handcuffs on the crew, one of which Verona pocketed. In the subsequent fighting, Verona was temporarily taken hostage by Arzen to force the crew to surrender, though a mind-controlled Trevor would end up saving him. Afterwards, on the castle grounds, Verona condemned his mother to death at the hands of the 8 Flames, he also played a major role in convincing Cyril to turn his back on the corrupt Marines, and opened the gates for the crew to escape alongside Pearl.

#### Epilogue

Verona is seeing asking William, Duros, and Ragnar "What is to love someone?", all of them give their response of what love is to then. Verona than goes talk to Lyssa, where he says he wants to discover what love is together with her, and she reciprocated with a kiss over his mask, where than a smile can be seeing over it. After having his ribcage twice-shattered by the Blue Blood replica, Verona used V's old respirator to help him breathe. He now runs a shop with Lyssa selling various inventions. He also apparently has his mother's laser eyes.

## **Trivia**

* Of all the members of the main crew, Verona has the highest kill count, numbered in the "thousands"
* Verona has many 'sociopathic' tendencies. This is theorized to be either due to his lineage of psychopaths on his mother's side or his witnessing of his fathers death and his maiming by the fire.
* Several of Verona's Arcane Shot options are references to other works. Banishing Shot is named "Shadow Games" and is said to send its targets to the Shadow Realm, a reference to the animated series Yu-Gi-Oh!. Beguiling Shot is dubbed "Love Struck," a reference to the identically named song by Boyz II Men.
* Many of Verona's items and abilities are references to people the crew have encountered in the past; his gun is named after Little Timmy of Gallows Island, his Bursting Bullet is named "Atom Smash" after Atom, and he named the mechanical bird Florence created for him "Florence's Machine" after its inventor.
	+ The name "Florence's Machine" is also a reference to Florence's namesake, "Florence and the Machine."
* Verona has a tendency to shoot his allies/teammates during combat, sometimes multiple times in the same combat. The closest second character to have this trait is Duros.
* If the Devil's Luck Pirates were to compete against each other in a drinking contest, Verona would lose.
* Verona is one of the two members of the Devil's Luck Pirates who is well known for a tendency to deliver great speeches that influence opponents. This trait is humorously dubbed the Talk no Jutsu.

* Verona hates mimes, as do most of the crew.
* Verona has killed a grand total of 18 people after setting out to sea and has the largest kill count on the Devil's Luck Pirates.
	+ Verona was also stated to have killed hundreds of people on a ship with a death total in the thousands but we have never been given an exact number so they were all grouped up into adding 1 person to be as accurate as possible, but if we are ever given said number for these events this score will be adjusted.
* If he lived in the real world, Verona would be from Poland.
* If they had a job in the real world, he would be an electrician.

* Verona's favorite food is, Spicy foods, because he has trouble tasting
* Verona's kink is, "The grime after a battle"
* If Verona could heal his face would he? Yeah he would, but it's not a priority to him since he’s content with how he looks, he would mainly do it just to make it just more convenient, William states that if he ever rolls a fruit to fix it he will try his best to fix it
* If Verona were in the Avatar the Last Airbender series he would be, surprisingly, be an Airbender
* If Verona was put on a morality scale with 0 being evil, 50 being neutral, and 100 being good, he would get a 60

* Verona has a 4 Inch Dong.
* Verona Got 3 Crit-fails in a row at 1:26:13 on Episode 47 "Blood Sport". The likely-hood of this happening is, as Tekking put it, "The odds of rolling three 1s in a row on a D20 is 0.463%, so congratulations Verona you won the Lottery!". However, Tekking is bad at math, as the real answer is 1/8000, or 0.0125% chance.

## **Quotes**

* "Don't worry William. That guy's old, you can take him"
* "So it really is you after all! I was hoping it wouldn't be, but go figure! I never would've guessed it was you I was looking for! I've been searching for you, for a while now and for a while there I almost gave up cause the trail ran dry. I was definitely thrown off by the fact you changed your name to Marrow. No wonder nobody knew who I was talking about when I asked for a man named Dogtooth, by sheer chance we stumbled across your father on a quaint little island and he was nice enough to tell us about his prodigal son, through the letters you wrote back to him! Which is not only how I knew you changed your name, but also that you were indeed, the man who killed my father and attempted to kill me, by burning me alive! You probably never expected to see me again and that's understandable, I was just a child after all! But here I stand before you today and I am not alone! While I myself might not be enough to take you down, I've found strength through my friends! And listen here Marrow! I declare that today will be the day you die! But before I end your life, you will tell me what information was so important that my father had to die for it! And after you tell me, every ounce of that truth, I will kill you! But I will not be killing you for my father, nor for me, you see a little a while ago you met my friend Atom, frankly at the time I wasn't convinced you were the man I was looking for but I knew when I saw that emotionless face as you pierced through his heart! It should've been me, but I let him die anyway, while I hated that guys guts at first, I can truly say he was a good man! And on our travels to this lovely kingdom here, he taught me a little something! Yeehaw....!" - Verona's Speech to Marrow as they first enter the Throne Room.
* "Ya know Marrow, I really wish I could've sent my father some letters, but you took that away from me! So I'm glad we took it away from you!"
* "We don't question our morals either. It's funnier that way”
* “It appears I have the ability to make friends”
* "I think 6 of my ribs are broken don't hug me right now"
* "I'm always down to clown!"
* "It's Clown hunting season"
* "What a bizarre adventure"
* "Captain Viridian was my father and I know you have some history with him, so I'll tell you what happened to him. Ten yeas ago, after a week away on duty he suddenly came back one night in a panic, screaming at me to pack my things as we had to leave. Not even minutes later, Marines began to storm our home so my father hid me underneath the floorboards and told me to keep quiet. Next thing I knew his best friend, Dogtooth, or Marrow, stepped in, he was someone who was previously like an uncle to me, someone I had complete trust in. Upon seeing him my father let out a big sigh of relief and started rambling about something important he discovered, but before he could let out what that important importation was, he was shot through the heart multiple times and I let out a small peep upon seeing him fall on the floor. And that peep is what sealed my fate. Dogtooth smiled at me before walking away, next thing I knew the Marines proceeded to burn down the entire house down all while laughing and playing violins in the distance like it was some sort of party. They assumed that would kill me, a mere twelve year old boy. But all it did was light a fire in within me. I don't know why they killed him and I wasted half my life trying to find out, but to no avail. All I do know is that woman over there, was once considered my mother, someone who never gave a shit about me, even back then. Yet after being burned alive, I waited weeks for her to come to my aid and her absence said it all. If that bitch isn't directly responsible for his murder, she at least didn't bat an eye knowing that we were gone. So once my good pals in the candle making business take care of her, you bet your ass I won't be batting my eyes either. You see that man over there with the tubes? He ripped off your arm for fun, didn't he? He's supposed to lead you, to bring peace and justice to the seas. You look at your newfound deformity and tell me that is justice. You look at the absence of the man that both of us looked up to, and you tell me that is justice. You tell me that the attempted murder of a twelve year old boy is justice. I'm not asking you to help us, all I'm asking is you get the fuck out of our way!" - Verona's speech to Cyril
* "It's your typical I want this, and he has that, and I'll give you this, but she has that, and she wants that, and she'll give us this"

* "Oh we're not talking 'bout tacos? My bad."
* “Right now you're in charge of Jack and shit and Jack just left town!”
* "You know something old man, I see that you're tying to damage our mental states with the deaths of all these innocent lives. But little did you know, I couldn't care less about them, I only care about my friends and by extension whoever they care about. So you can send your army of pregnant women or children or whatever you slaughtered, it won't change a thing for me. Because no matter what you will die today and everything you did to play God will forever be forgotten and the lives you ruined can finally rest. You're scum. You're nothing" - Verona to V

* "Lyssa, the thing is, I don't really know what it means to love someone. I use this special bullets and this love gun, yet I have never really known what it means. I completely forgot what it was like to care about anyone after my father's death. But this crew, my new family and you had tought me what it means to care about someone again, and I don't know, maybe it has to do with how kind, hard-working and intelligent you are, but maybe I do care about you a little more than even I expected. So, while I don't quite know if that is love or what it really means TO love, if you'll allow me, I think that maybe you could help me and together we could find out what it means to love someone I could be a long road of learning, if I am even capable of that, but I know if anyone can show me how, it would be you."
