Psuedo Ancient Weapon

Psuedo Ancient Weapon is a term used to describe several weapons that have been created over the last one hundred years by an unknown individual. These weapons are said to be as dangerous and powerful as the Three Ancient Weapons: Pluton, Posidon and Uranus. Each of the Psudeo Ancient Weapons that have been revealed or discovered so far seem to share some form of mechanical origin. With **RYU, APOLLO & ASCLEPIUS** being MECH's or Machines. The sole exception being **VALKYRIE**

## List of Known Psuedo Ancient Weapons

### RYU

RYU, also refered to as **"The Slumbering Dragon"** was a pilotable mech the size of an ancient giant, that lay slumbering and inactive beneath the **Treasure Island,** prior to its activation by the rogue revolutionary scientist, **Doctor Drendard.** It was a dragon like machine (similar to the Dragonzord) and had the capablities to fire energy lasers and lethal missles from its mouth and chest compartment respectively. It additionally had a drill like tail that it could use to smash into things. It was refered to as "*Pluton's Psuedo" by Drendard.*

The weapon possesses a cockpit, making it able to be piloted, however, Drendard, meddling with its interfact caused it to go haywire and act without a pilot. Inside the cockpit, from when it was activated was the corpse of a skeleton in an orange overcoat that had the white word "Warb" on the back of it, with a fruit sat on its lap. The corpse belong to a man named **Warburton,** referenced by Drendard to be the alledged creator of RYU. And the fruit on his lap was the **Zoan Devil Fruit known as the Saru Saru no Mi, Model; King Kong.**

It, in its haywire state, battled against The Nimbus (minus Taejin) and Bounty, in an intense fight that led to the mechanical dragon psuedo ancient weapon being destroyed and rendered unable to be used again. The corpse of Warburton was destroyed alongside it. Parts of RYU was believed to be salvaged by the Navy sometime after the Nimbus defeated it.

Additionally, RYU was refered in the World News by the World Government, as a scapegoat, in order to hide Crest & Kali's true crimes whilst in turn giving them a high bounty. It is known by the Revoultionary Army, High-Ranking Marines, The Smuggler Queen & Marine that RYU is in fact destroyed; evident when the Lady Borghini of the Motor-Head Family introduced it's power-core as the first item at the Auction at Entree.

### APOLLO

APOLLO is a golden machine of destruction known as the "**Fires of the Sun**". Exceeding 60ft, totalling at roughly 77ft in height. A pilotable mech that lay dormant and inactive in H.E.L.L under the royal palace prior to its activate by the hands of Emperor Billius and used to anhillate the Forging Path Pirates that were led by Dominic Blackstone. Its strength seems to come from its power to control immense heat, like a portable sun as a weapon. It possesses several artillery cannons that blast bursts of scorching flame. Its fists strong enough to unleash a devestating barrage known as **Ra's Barrage.** It also, had a central cannon on its chest that was capable of charging up and firing a powerful blast known simply as **Sol Invictus.** It has been shown to be durable and strong enough to hold its own against a Former Emperor of the Sea when it was piloted by Hiroh and Lerala in an attempt to escape H.E.L.L

It was seeked out by the Revolutionary Army prior to its activation by the Emperor, however they failed to obtain it and abandoned it. It was also brought up by **Doctor Drendard** when he mentioned the Psuedo Ancient Weapons. Inside the cockpit seemed to be a skeleton with a suit, with a cigarette in their mouth and a lighter in their hand; this is theorised to be Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Weapon appeared once more during the H.E.L.L Saga when the White Hair Pirates, Beepy & Ellia Dayne raided the Royal Palace in an attempt to destroy the Demon Giant Corpse as well as disable APOLLO. With luck and effort, Hiroh, Leralia and Irwin managed to use APOLLO to escape the grasps of th Demon Giant's revived corpse, crashing it into the ground and burning out its Solar Core. Disabling it temporarly and removing its passive heat which was affecting the ocean above H.E.L.L, turning it into flame, allowing escape from the place to be possible.

It was later retrived and once again now resides in the possession of H.E.L.L's Emperor.

### ASCLEPIUS

ASCLEPIUS was the Psuedo Ancient Weapon known as **"The God Of Medicine".** It was capable of ressurecting the deceased by forming them a completely new body and restoring them to the exact state they were prior to death, even going so far as to restore any devil fruit it might have, by forcefully extracting it by some unknown means from the fruits new user, if it has one. It is a large mechanical contraption with the trapped user of the **Plasma Logia** bound inside it, being used as a fuel source to power the weapon. It was located under **Elbaf**.

It was used by G-7 in order to ressurect a deceased Kiyoshi, who was assassinated by Kallus Indigo during the The War of the Wabiest, before it was destroyed by a Liberation Officer known as "The Razor" Ramon Sharp using his Supa Supa no Mi (*Dice Dice Fruit)*, who was unaware what the weapon was.

The weapon was seemingly one time use; as it required a user of the Plasma Logia in order to function correctly. It additionaly, seemed to only be able to operate and be used by someone able to understand the controls which were wrote in Pongylph as a safety measure. This Psuedo Ancient Weapon was saught after by Columbus and Wabi Wabo and was one of the key factors which caused The Liberation War.

### LIBRA

LIBRA is a Psuedo Ancient Weapon that resides in the **Archive of Tekking,** somewhere in the World. It is known as **"The Scales of Balance"** Its location is hidden, deep within the Pongylph on in the Maltevergo Laybrinth. It is unclear what exactly LIBRA is, whether it is a mech similar to RYU or APOLLO or even something akin to VALKYRIE, it is unknown.

It seems like the Assassins of Necrosis are in pursuit of the weapon or at least, have some intrest in it, as they have attempted to assassinate anyone with knowledge about it, even acknowledging that Hiroh had a contract on his head due to his possible knowledge.

### ARTEMIS

ARTEMIS is a Psuedo Ancient Weapon that has been mentioned to exist by Doctor Drendard during the Treasure Island Arc. It is refered to as the URANUS Psuedo Weapon by Drendard. Not much is known about this weapon aside from the fact that it exists.

### VALKYRIE
