Buff D. Pluto

```
Let us Flex Together, Friend

```

Buff D. Pluto, known to most by simply Pluto, is a spherical figure with bulging buff arms and legs. He is a passionate individual, one who believes in dreams and ideals. He aims to always portray himself, and help others portray themselves, as the brightest they can be, and always pushes those around him to surpass their limits and become the best versions of themselves they can possibly become.

His iconic laugh reverberates loudly throughout any hall, and those who hear the sound of "KWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" know that either their savior or doom has arrived.

He is the captain of the Celestial Pirates

## Appearance

The first thing one might notice upon seeing Pluto, is that he's rather round. It's gotten to the point that even his crewmates are unsure whether he actually appears this way due to his devil fruit, or if this is his natural state, as none have seen him in another form (save Expanded). Pluto can be described by his gigantic, well-defined arms and legs, which he makes a point to flaunt and flex whenever an opportunity arises for such. Naturally, these aren't just for show, and Pluto has much strength provided by and through these limbs. While he can hear just as any other may, he does not appear to have ears. Additionally, while his facial features may appear quite large, they don't provide much added benefit towards sight nor smell, though his voice can often be heard from the other side of an island.

In his devil fruit form, Pluto grows substantially, and likewise grows an actual human-like body. Of course, this body is brimming with massive muscles as well, even more so. He refers to this form of himself as the form with which he 'enacts his vengeance', or alternatively that by which he 'strides towards freedom.'

Additionally, perhaps ironic to his name, Pluto's devil fruit form makes him larger than any of the other planet fruit users, including Jupiter.

## Personality

Pluto maintains a relatively constant personality most of the time, that being one of confidence, inspiration, and general incandescence. He cares not for the opinions of the world, viewing criticisms and applauds alike as sounds meant only for him to look upon, not to change by. Pluto actively seeks to improve himself, and furthermore aid in whatever way he can to improve those he cares for. This sometimes gets him into trouble, in fact it often gets him into trouble, but he doesn't care. Designating regard to this as merely a means to an end, be it seemingly good or bad passage in duration.

His personality aside, Pluto has a goal, and a dream.

...By his own words, at least.

While his goal remains unknown (except by those within his crew), his dream has been explicitly stated time and time again. Pluto will look up that sky at the stars, the brightest stars. Romanticizing the idea of brightness being likened to the best one can be, Pluto emphasizes that he, alongside those around him, should strive towards shining like those stars. By surpassing themselves to their maximum potential, and even then, surpassing that maximum potential itself.

## Relationships

Pluto has a deep connection with the members of the crew he leads, appreciating each of their strengths and virtues, each being unique and wonderful to him. He favors none above the others, and rather treats them all as his own equal, not demanding the respect that many captains and lords seek.

## Abilities & Powers

**Flexin':** If not obvious from appearance alone, Pluto sports extremely well-defined arms and legs, and they aren't just for show. He is quite physically powerful, and can take many a hit before faltering in stead. There are two reasons he has become so physically strong. The first, is that he wants to become stronger to strive forwards towards both his dream, and the ultimate goal of his crew. To successfully trespass the seas, rife navy ships and those of pirates as well, strength is seen by him as a necessary acquisition for progress. The second and obviously more important reason however, is that when he ***flexes*** he feels his ***best.*** Pluto can be seen flexing while he's walking, he can be seen flexing while he's sitting, he can be seen flexing while he's *asleep.* Pluto flexes so often that his muscles are constantly growing stronger by the sheer pressure being put into the flexes alone. In a nutshell, his strength and endurance are top notch.

**Inspiration:** Pluto is an extremely supportive and inspirational figure. If he catches someone training, he'll be right there for the next hour getting them to up their limits. He is staunchly protective as well, and will always be more than happy to be the bastion between the enemy and his friends. Incidentally, Pluto will also critique his opponents in combat, trying to make **THEM** better and stronger as well, on occasion this has even led to his defeat in combat. But to him it was worth it, he's just doing his part.

**Rooted:** While Pluto is about as fast as the average fighter in combat, he can sacrifice his movement speed for his attack speed and guard. This essentially means that the slower he allows himself to move, the faster he can throw out attacks, and the more steadfast he becomes as well. Good for duels, perhaps not in a dynamic battlefield. This ability can become devastating when Pluto is in his Expanded form however, as his reach is greatly increased.

**Physical Prowess**

Pluto is incredibly buffed, and a rather...spherical individual. While this grants him sometimes even overwhelming strength capabilities, he remains himself a rather easy to hit target due to his size. This is further emphasized when he enters his Expanded form, where he becomes quite massive.

**Speed and Agility**

Pluto is fast due to his incredible strength, easily being able to launch himself across great distances with a single stride. However, this strength of speed does not translate to that of agility. Due to his abnormal shape, it is incredibly hard for him to evade strikes in a melee, as his hit box is a tad too large to dodge effectively without reprimand. He can maneuver out of the way of attacks well enough if he can see them coming from a distance, however in close combat it's simply not worth the intense effort that would be necessary to proactively evade enemy attacks, thus he usually does not even try.

**Strength**

Pluto, even without his devil fruit that makes him stronger, is an incredibly strong individual. He has long since passed the stage of lifting traditional weights. He currently lifts 50-ton weights as a casual warmup, with an entire dedicated section of the Manta Sol's gym being fitted to contain weights even heavier (much heavier) without detriment to the ship itself. Pluto, when he is on land, often does workout by running laps while carrying piles of boulders. If he cannot find boulders, he just finds the closest possible thing. One time he took someone's house, another time a chunk of a marine base. Good times.

**Endurance**

Pluto is extremely durable, again, even without his devil fruit involved. Pluto, while unsuspecting, could shrug off blunt canonballs with ease, let alone mere bullets and swords. They wouldn't really hurt him either, his outer-skin being extremely hard, and apparently, numb to most pain (according to Pluto). When he flexes it's a different story. If Pluto sees an attack coming, and flexes in defense, it's almost as if the sheer force from the flex itself repels and knocks back incoming attacks. Projectiles will bounce back into the direction they came if they strike a flex, and swords will be repelled, or if they are weak blades, they may even shatter on impact. Under such circumstances Pluto will laugh at the endeavor, and chant one of his 5 flex-related catchphrases on the spot.

### Fighting Style

Pluto is a master of Tendō , and notably excels in the Putao Core. Pluto is additionally a master of Radia Yas-Ti, and often intertwines the use of this attack and those of his fruit.

Additionally, he has his own unique fighting technique based around the attributes of the planet Pluto, and the powers of his fruit.

Within the Putao Core, Pluto has developed the following moves on his own:

* **Po Geokei:** The user slams their palm on the ground, similar to Geosurge, however instead of propelling himself, they aims to angle their strike as to knock their opponent into the air
* **Po Shak-Tal:** The user shouts in a booming voice, then claps the soundwaves, forcing them into their fists. Their fists become imbued with thunder energy, and on a successful melee strike will push the soundwaves from the original shout directly into the opponent.
* **Po Parachagga:** The user makes a melee strike. If it connects, the target will tremor, however the tremors will simply reside within the target and do no damage whatsoever. Upon the target's next contact with the ground, the tremors will shoot into the ground they touch, and pop them into the direction of whatever angle they are facing with explosive force. This strike does nothing if it misses.
* **Po Nokk:** The user uses **Phokato** whilst diving from the air, forcing weight into the air around them and causing it to fall alongside the user. Upon contact with the ground the user will create an impact crater, and shortly after the descending air will push everything in the area into the ground for a short moment before it disperses.

In his Expanded form, Pluto additionally has additionally developed the following moves:

* **Po Karakchagga-X:** The user makes a melee strike. If it connects, the target will tremor, which then (the tremors) move into the surrounding area that the target resides within, causing quakes within that space, each tremor halving in strength. If the target tries to normally exit the tremored space, the tremors will re-enter them and cause damage akin to **Po Doomchagga**, however the tremor re-entering will be of the strength at which they currently vibrate. If the strike fails to target a solid, plasma, or supercritical object, it will instead begin to rupture the space around it, causing a temporary area of unstable space that is prone to implosion upon connection with the former 3 mentioned states of matter.
* **Po Askababos:** The user stomps the ground in a direction, opening a ravine, and sending it to extend towards the direction initially indicated. The width and depth of the ravine is dependent on the strength of the user, and the fluency of their technique
* **Po Boulevari:** The user slams 3+ points in the ground (can be more, just not less). After 10 seconds of the initial slammed ground, ALL of the ground in between the points slammed will violently upheave, flipping itself, reversing itself, from the bottom upwards. Anything residing atop this ground will either be flung aside by the force, or will find themselves being pulled into the ground itself at incredible speeds. (Flung if on periphery, pulled if closer to center)

Abilities Pluto uses with his integrated boosts of his fruit:

* **1200KG Punch:** Pluto punches with (roughly) the weight of a fully grown polar bear. This is just an example of one of the various physical oriented offensive attacks Pluto can manage, with variations on the weight applied to the attack being a common occurrence. Though, this is perhaps his most favored variation and is the most-often used.
* **Sky Roar:** Pluto lets out a booming roar (or laugh) as in **Po Shak-Tal**, upon a melee strike he uses **2100KG Punch** (a variation of the former), releasing the thunder energy alongside his strike.
* **1/12 Retro:** Pluto changes his own weight to 1/12th of it's value, then tapping himself. He then fights as normal, however upon a successful strike he swaps the 1/12th of his weight for the target's entire weight, which he then dispels it into the ground temporarily. Upon his next successful strike, he uses **Graviton Fist**, taking back the 1/12 of his weight while making the target weightless for approximately 1.6 seconds before the target's weight returns to them.
* **Can You...Feel The Heat?:** Pluto utilizes a relentless sunlight to force an atmosphere into his fists. During this, Pluto will appear as if he is sweating profusely. Upon impact of a strike from these fists, alongside the force of the strike itself, the impact will additionally burst into flames, possibly burning or scalding that connected with.

Pluto is significantly capable of using armament haki, able to enshroud anything within his body, or his entire body at will. Interestingly enough, he cannot coat anything other than himself in armament haki, meaning weapons would not be influenced by his will, yet his own personal armament haki is exceptionally strong as a result. This is because he has focused all of his will into his own body, and constantly strives to make himself the best, and better, version of himself possible. Pluto's observation haki is a strange beast as well. He completely lacks the ability of premonition, almost unable to naturally detect opponent's intentions. However, he has contrastingly exponentially strengthened his natural senses of sight, smell, and hearing. While focused, he could potentially hear a quarrel of rodents across an island if he so desired.

## Equipment

Pluto does not carry any other equipment than his own two fists, and doesn't really seem to be wearing any clothes either.
