Akihiko

**Akihiko ( , Akihiko)** known around the seas of the world as the **Shining Prince of the Oceans**, is a Pirate and Former Marine Lieutenant said to possess an enormous amount of potential that rivals those who currently form the Three Great Powers of the World as we know it. After eating the Devil Fruit known as th**e Koshi Koshi No Mi**, Akihiko became a **Light Human**, his fruit seemingly a different variation to that which Kuzan, a Marine admiral, had before him. Born as the son to two incredibly powerful Marines both born in the West Blue, Akihiko at a young age, while being attempted to be indoctrinated into adhering to the philosophy of a Marine , watched his parents ransack a small, unknown island, where he witnessed for the first time, terror, all for the sake of Absolute Justice. Being told it would be fun to go on his first real voyage with his parents, Akihiko was surprised to find out that the island they had travelled to was naught but a small portion of a Kingdom in the West Blue, and in fact it was where he was born, the Kingdom of Bagnara on a yet unknown island. When his parents and their crew finally began to haul in the last bit of the island's treasure back to their boats, Akihiko would watch as his childhood friends scramble desperately to protect an enormous golden necklace given to them by a giant from the greedy hands of the crew members, where they were beaten and greatly injured. At that moment, something snapped within the young boy's mind and he became enveloped with rage, and while he huddled back to the ship, his mind began to completely eradicate what he believed to be the natural philosophy of the Marines, slowly turning it into the desire of freedom for all those that his parents and those like his parents had wronged. Sneaking aboard the cargo deck of the ship Akihiko took a bite of what might just have been the world's worst tasting fruit and took a small canoe to the shores of the Ilusia Kingdom, where he was taken in by Marines of all people.

Struggling to come to terms with what he was doing, Akihiko took his anger out on those he was sent after as a Marine. Quickly rising through the ranks due to sheer power, will, and intellect, Akihiko demonstrated the ultimate power to overcome all forms of opposition placed against him by forces Pirate, Shichibukai and even Rogue Marine, and admirable quality noted by each and every one of his superiors, placing him in the favour of admirals and even lesser Marines alike as he became an inspiring figure to the general public and to the Marines of Ilusia Kingdom. However, Akihiko could not accept that the Marines would dare intrude on his own personal freedom as much as they claimed Pirates did, the few people who actually managed to live freely in the world he lived in. As someone who was forced to be a follower of Justice, Akihiko quickly learned that not even the Marines are as pure as they say, and that Absolute Justice was inherently a system that was flawed, only serving to further solidify his point. Due to his policy of non-direct adherence to Absolute Justice, there had been occurrences in which Akihiko may have teamed up with Pirates to expose or discover secrets within the Marine Organization or the World Government they might have wanted covered up to not let the world know of it, and he capitalized on it to grant him leverage to actually leave the Marine Organization. Resigning from the World Government’s service as a Lieutenant, Akihiko turned to a life of piracy, where he would begin the journey that would truly give him his alias. While yet unknown why Akihiko has not declared a last name as of yet, some believe it is because he has an important heritage. The truth is, maybe, but Akihiko couldn't care less even if he had one. Easily having the ire of the Marine Organization for first quitting the Marines after having learned so much about the Marines, and then for putting together an entire fleet, Akihiko is a figure that many fear as a result.

## Appearance

Hailing from the Bagnara Kingdom, a Kingdom known for consisting of 365 islands all bounded together by a larger sea known as the Osimiri (which is in fact simply the flow of the oceans throughout the Kingdom), the man who would soon call himself the Shining Prince of the Oceans has lived a life where his entire being was nourished and based on the blessings of the oceans, his appearance a derivative of healthy sea foods and the land animals grown on a larger scale by tourists. In a world where they lived so close to the sea on a regular basis to the point where the Bagnara Kingdom was said to be in constant good relations with Fishmen by merely existing, and by originally hailing from an island which was said to possess such a potent electromagnetic field that it caused subtle electrolytic properties to go throughout the water to the point that the seawater might no longer be considered sea in that area, Akihiko has developed a natural resistance to water in general due to living in the Kingdom once titled the Devil Fruit Resort. With rectractable fins on certain parts of his body brought about by adaptations to their environment as well as ancient interbreeding with Fishmen, Akihiko does have parts of his body that may seem quite a bit inhuman, and despite his blood being diluted, the people of the Bagnara Kingdom still kept important traits and characteristics through natural selection.
Additionally, while over time, the people of Bagnara who constantly ate a healthier diet, were more active, as well as genetically superior to most humans grew more attractive/alluring as a result, Akihiko himself is perhaps not even included in just that selection, as his "handsomeness" has seemed to surpass that. An incredibly dashing young man, Akihiko, as a former Lieutenant of the Marine Organization has caused many, both male and female to swoon after him at first glance, something the young man attributes to his infallible charisma. With glossy hair that arranges itself messily over the top of his head in such a manner that it fades away from cinnamon brown to a deep, alluring chocolate brown covering his right eye which is in turn covered in an eyepatch and one that repeats itself in both his eyelashes and eyebrows, only the top of Akihiko’s head is considered attractively already. However, when combining that with his golden eyes, distinct jaw bones and a scar across his face that seems to tell a story of past adventures, Akihiko himself considers his appearance to be one worthy of the title of a full blown Prince. Enveloping his lean, muscular figure, is a black suit outlined with a golden coloured, metallic-esque fabric in a similar manner to the metallic gold of his eyes, as well as a cape with a red interior which blends back into the black colouration of most of his external appearance. With a small Jolly Roger on the upper right side of his chest, Akihiko has truly broken away from the marines, and for several good reasons at that. With his good looks gaining him praise from many, both female, and male, the latter much to his dismay, it's usually hard for some persons to go against him to begin with.

Formerly, however, Akihiko, as a Marine Lieutenant, forced himself to wear a Marine uniform, and it looked as crazed as wearing it made him, having a complete tear at the back where the symbol for Absolute Justice should be, as well as multiple cuts and tears all over, and while that may have revealed some part of his physique that he may keep covered nowadays, that had absolutely no effect on the Akihiko of the past, despite the swooning he might have heard everytime he was deployed. In fact, his looks were apparently so widespread that he was once asked to model for the World Nobles themselves and for some reason their female affiliates, with even them commenting on the "high-quality" of this particular commoner's "breed". Despite irritating Akihiko, there was not much he could have done, and it was almost a rite of passage in the Marine Organization for any individual currently being recognized by the World Nobles to have to do something ridiculous and/or cook for them sooner than later.

## Personality

Between his good looks and incredible intellect, or rather, knowledge, Akihiko is quite the charismatic individual, with the words leaving his mouth often inspiring those around him to believe and put their faith in him for inexplicable reasons at times, and is perhpas the reason why the original three members of his crew even got together in the first place. An eloquent speaker of human language when need be, Akihiko has demonstrated an amazing ability to motivate his allies and similarly demoralize his opponents using the power of his silver tongue, having slaves forced to fight him realizing just how terrible their predicament is and the fact that they are fighting against someone who is perhaps their one shot at freedom, and henchmen realizing that they are naught but pawns to the one they serve.

However, silver, is not gold, and as a result, even Akihiko's silver tongue may fail before a golden will or an incredible amount of loyalty. However, as the self-proclaimed Shining Prince of the Oceans, Akihiko possesses far more than silver attributes, having a similarly golden mind, capable of thinking quite a bit of brilliant thoughts pretty much every second, seemingly predicting his opponent's next move completely on reflex, as well as coming up with battle plans for pretty much anything he can conceive, from overtaking Marine bases to steal resources and gain a foothold on the seas in the general area near him, as well as erase or subvert Marine presence in the area in an attempt to only further support freedom of ideas, actions and behaviours for all. In fact, Akihiko has took many younger aspiring pirates into his ranks as his apprentices, many who grow up to be his allies and accomplishes in battle, all wanting to see his way of thinking in action, as well as his methods of managing large resources. With that being a move considered reminiscent of the Revolutionaries, it is obvious that Akihiro has more than one eye watching him at all times, especially since he possesses the knowledge of an incredibly studious Marine Lieutenant, who even knows the great lengths to which the World Government screws over itself simply to keep the World Nobles in power at all times. As a man not politically invulnerable as they all are, Akihikiro feels incredibly emboldened by simply being a pirate, and having allies who believe as such in him and in similar goals inspires him in turn even further, as he is proud to see people pursue freedom in their own way, though this is not to say he will not impose his own freedom on them, as that is also his freedom. Akihiko's crew has even noticed on several occasions that the cold, calculating figure that Akihiro becomes during combat is nothing like the warmth he is capable of showing his crew should something be wrong, though he will absolutely not take traitors, and if one would even dare attempt to leave the crew without informing him, it is enough to attain Akihiro's ire. This is such because Akihiro, in believing that he has forced no one onto his crew, should have only crewmates assured that they can accomplish their dreams as a part of this crew altogether, as that is what it means to be a part of his crew to him, and is perhaps one of the few rules he has to his crew.

While usually a man who thinks about crushing all opposition to him and his grand fleet, Akihiko has been able to show on rare occasions mercy to Marines who prove themselves to have a desire for freedom deep down inside, and at times even jokingly offers them a place aboard his ship. However, apart from his strategic mind, silver tongue, and occasional compassion, Akihiko has displayed his leadership skills in other ways, creating small teams and squads among his crew to maximize the efficiency of each deployment of every individual crew member he has, and additionally, is willing to listen to any and all problems they may face, helping them as a friend, and those younger as him as their father figure. This has made Akihiko already quite a rolemodel as a Pirate as he was as a Marine, and openly shares his dreams and goals with his crewmates as he encourages them to do with him. With the vast amount of occupations available to a fleet as expansive as Akihiko's, the young man is happy to invite anyone who wishes to be a part of his Royal Entourage aboard once they have passed his tests, his most important being the test of loyalty, which is done at his own discretion and to any individual crew member who has not yet passed the test, allowing him to weed out potential enemies and infilitrators, apart from his uncanny ability to judge character. The combination of all of these traits make Akihiko a truly beloved captain, but to an extent, Akihiko is in actuality, vengeful, though this has been quelled after forcing those who wished to seek vengeance upon into hiding, knowing that he will eventually meet them again, despite knowing where they are at the moment, his other dreams taking precedence over his will for revenge, as much as he wishes to be an inspiration for those on his crew. With his crew seemingly having a policy of only attacking those they deem corrupt, which happen to include the Marines, to an extent Shichibunkai forces, and even at times rogue Marines and Pirates, Akihiko, and by his extension his crew, are always willing to lend a helping hand to any town they might stop by unless they are already on a mission to begin with, while staying cautious of the area to begin with.

Having complete faith in his crew, Akihiko has expressed his incredible determination and willpower on several occassions, with such a willpower allowing him to accomplish amazing feats, such as gaining the valiance to combat a vast amount of Haki wielders from the New World on his lonesome to save a single crewmember knowing full well he was a Logia, continuing to fight for an extended period of time after being severely injured, as well as even go up against persons easily more powerful than he was at the time for the sake of his dreams, his crew, and his crew's dreams, as they all are given sustenance and power by his own will and determination that he can succeed no matter the odds. With his mind and power, as well as the collective talents of everyone else in his fleet, Akihiko may be considered slightly arrogant, though this is in fact merely his confidence in the abilities of each and every person his senses and tests tell him he can call a Nakama. Disillusioned by the World Government at a young age, this place is the only place Akihiko can call home, his fleet, his family. It should be noted that Akihiko often plans for multiple outcomes, but at times, his strategies become quite adaptive, based on the capabilties and sub-commanders in each respective ship's crew.

On a more personal level, Akihiko's appearance and the high regard it is held in at all times grants the young man an incredible capability for attracting those around him, having the type of appearance that is usually considered in traditional tropes both incredibly handsome and dreamy and that usually has females depicted with hearts in their eyes. However, this observation by Akihiko has resulted in, quite a hidden personality trait, Akihiko can be quite, both flirtatious and promiscuous, interacting with some females in a playful manner, something he is usually allowed to get away with except for with his navigator of the flagship. This flirtatious nature usually seems to run completely contrary to everything else people know about him, and as a result, this personality trait, while not rare, is perhaps simply uncommonly expressed, as for example, he is not perverted and as a result does not have an inability to resist beautiful women, he simply may attempt to make a move on a woman sufficently beautiful that is not a direct threat to him or his crew. As for being promiscuous, it simply means that he does this with several women simultaneously, but it is not known of Akihiko has actually had any serious relationships or taken them back to his bed mainly because of his slight fear of attachments beyind friendship, as love is a thing he has a hard time coming to grips with after shattering the first love he ever actually felt temporarily, parental love. All in all, Akihiko believes his personality, traits and character flaws included, make him worth his self-proclaimed title, and in fact, all of these traits have Akihiko seem like a prime candidate to join the Revolutionaries, though whether or not he is actually interested is up in the air.

## Abilities and Powers

Over the years, Akihiko has grown tremendously in power, from being just the son of two Marines, to possessing the power of a Marine Lieutenant sent after beings as powerful as Shichibunkai and Supernovas on several occasions, to becoming the absolute captain of an incredibly grand Pirate Fleet known as the Brilliant Royal Fleet, a Fleet known for causing the World Government much harm, as it has utilized several of the secrets the Marines keep hidden from the general public to wreck havoc on the Marines themselves. Possessing an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit ability with comparable skill, and an immense mastery over the powers of both the spirit and the body, Akihiko may just have a greater destiny than even his arrogance lets on. Akihiko, as a fleet commander of his own crew containing persons of similar strength to his own swayed by his charisma is quite powerful in his own right, and is wanted by the World Government for a bounty of $80,000,000, a bounty some consider too small to be given to such a man.

### Physical Attributes

Akihiko, as a fulblooded citizen of the Bagnara Kingdom, is inherently physical superior to most normal humans to begin with, but even regardless of his ancestry, Akihiko's raw physical strength at that specific young age is much greater than could be explained solely by that specifically, his incredible physical prowess manifesting in his ability to destroy furniture and move large objects during a tantrum at the age of one, as well as being shouldering a huge tree and causing it to shake at 4, as Akihiko grew his physical talents only improved. Akihiro posseses a naturally incredibly tough hide, only magnified by the harsh years of training which Akihiko was forced to be a part of to become a future Marine, as well as begin to show the inherited traits of both of his parents. As a result now, Akihiko's incredible durability has caused many to stop and stare, as a single man takes the full impact of an incredibly large cannonball head on, only to remove the smoke from his body to reveal that he was not injured at all, tanking attacks like that despite being a Logia to begin with just to show his enemies how hopeless they truly are, before catching said cannonball with a single hand and throwing it back at it's source, completely obliterating entire lockdown fleets with the sheer speed, strength and size of the cannonball's propulsion. In fact, Akihiko's natural strengths have been mistaken for his Rokushiki techniques , his striking power considered so vast that a punch can cause unexpected piercing damage almost as if it was one of the trademarked Cutting Air attacks of swordsmen, Akihiko in fact capable of utilizing his arms like such, a physical feat he learned to pulll off specifically to have fun with the Commander of a portion of his Fleet. Akihiko's incredible power is so vast that his attacks can cause a massive shockwaves in a similar manner to the Hasshoken fighting style.

However, it would be incredibly remiss for one to to go all this way to talk about Akihiko's physical prowess and not once mention his unrivaled speed, having a speed considered to be one of the, if not the fastest beings on the planet. Akihiko casually demonstrates a tremendous level of superhuman speed that enables him to fight off physically powerful superhumans with the utmost of the ease, even utilizing nothing but his speed with simple normal human strength levels to completely to take care of those he could not care about enough to put more effort, with Akihiko's speed almost seeming as if he simply teleported across the room. In fact, Akihiko sees the world around him in an almost depressingly slow movement speed due to his own incredible superhuman speed levels, that in fact are so vast that persons may believe that he has activated his Devil Fruit powers when he has in fact kept them locked away under lock and key. With Akihiko's already incredible speed that allows him to effectively fight against beings known for their speed also as well as seemingly create an entire army of speed duplicates, as well as generating sonic booms that follow his movements shortly after. In addition, endurance wise, Akihiko is said to be a completely different monster, as Akihiko constantly portrays an enormous amount of physical energy and stamina, his durability so great that it gives him incredible prowess with the ability known as Tekkai, his durability contributing to the term he refers to as his endurance, but apart from that, Akihiko's stamina is astonishing, fighting against entire squadrons of powerful opponents as well as fighting against those he is evenly matched with for three days, and potentially longer assuming that he is fully hydrated. Almost as if he was an Atlantean incapable of swimming, Akihiko can still augment his physicall traits in a similar way to most regular Bagnara Kingdom citizens by taking in such vast quantities of water that he strengthens himself as it moves throughout his body.

### Haki

#### Kenbunshoku Haki

Kenbubshoku Haki, Mantra, or the Colour of the Observation Haki, is one of the three major types of Haki and serves to grant Akihiko a wide variety of immensely potent supernatural perception capabiltiies he would have never demonstrated prior, as Akihiko's complete mastery over the art of wielding this particular form of Haki is one of a kind, and cosidered completely amazing. One of the, if not the greatest users of this form of Haki whose talent is underestimated, Akihiko first developed this particular Haki at a very young age, explaining his unmatched experience with it, with Akihiko's claims as to having this form of Haki from birth perhaps not being too far off from the actual truth, if not the truth itself. Akihiko's covering up of one eye is actually a trick to continuously train this particular form of Haki. Akihiko possesses such amazing talent with this form of Haki, that unlike most individuals who can only see the presence of others utilizing this particular form of Haki, Akihiko can see where there light silhouette bounces off and relects towards, his powers of Light manifesting in his Kenbunshoku Haki and enabling him to perceive even the surroundings around him using Kenbunshoku Haki, and as one's aura "reflection" is not bound by the laws of physics, Akihiko can infact see deep underground, under the sea, and through walls over incredible distances, these distance and Akihiko's incredible perception allowing him to see traps as well as other minor objects that might be of potential importance to his adversary, and it is these reflections that enable Akihiko to tell illusion from reality. In fact, Akihiko's usage of traditional Kenbunshoku Haki is noted to be so incredibly potent that when combined with his impeccable Devil Fruit enhanced eyesight that it can pick up the particular aura signature of the person or lifeform being observed, even if mechanical (an android's directive must be carried out and therefore technically speaking they have a will completely directed on filling that out), allowing him to track particular persons over great distances as well as notice the presences of particular persons. In fact, usually Akihiko is even capable of deterimining one's species, though this becomes much harder to do once one's Lineage Factor is manipulated if one is barely their original species or it is now incredibly concealed.

Akihiko's prowess with Kenbunshoku Haki even extends to the point that he can notice minor alterations in the movement of one's aura to better predict his opponent's next move than most users of this Haki type, as well as mimic basic physical movements, for example, observing someone write a document and copying it exactly without ever actually looking at what was written. However, Akihiko does not only extend his ability to observe to his eyesight only, as by applying Kenbunshoku Haki to, for example, his sin, Akihio is capable of feeling the air currents and as a result, movement around him in tandem with his eyesight, allowing him to perceive things even his Kenbunshoku Haki may not have usually. However, back to applying it to vision, Akihiko gains the ability to quite frankly see an opponent's attacks before they even occur, an almost precognitive ability that when combined with his already vast speed allows him to seemingly evade indefinitely, the attack being given to him as a premonition of exactly what the opponent will do and the damage it will inflict. Though more killing intent causes the aura to shine more vibrantly and sizzle, Akihiko is talented enough to see even minute changes in the glow of the opponent's aura, allowing him to predict future attacks with or without the intent to murder.

However, even this is not the true terror of Akihio's prowess with Kenbunshoku Haki. In a manner similar to the man known as Enel, one of the most masterful users of Kenbunshoku Haki in the known world, as combined with Akihiko's capability to see all forms of light in every wavelength, as well as, like all Logias, connecting his light to the light in the general environment, Akihiko can see over an incredibly vast distance with the same precision as all of his Haki, allowing him to see even what one might have considered hidden or invisible by allowing him to perceive the aura and therefore the person from over a vast distance even if they are "concealed from view", to the point that Akihiko himself does not know the limits to his vision, encompassing everything over the distance of about twice the size of the Bagnara Kingdom, including the underwater portions. Even more similarly, though to a much more limited extent due to his preferred sense not being hearing, Akihiko can combine Observation with his hearing to produce the abilty to hear conversation spoken at very low tones out of his earshot. However, the most unique part about Kenbunshoku Haki is that Akihio can see completely the true emotions and nature of others in his presence, from detecting an aggressive or abrasive personality, to absolute tranquility from an infant, though he has been shown to occasionally gain a premonition of what there nature may be in the future should it involve his own future. In addition, Akihiko is even capable of sensing resentment or even just plain dissatisfaction, and this ability to perceive all things enables Akihiko to , at times, and with the necessary amount of concentration, work as a human lie detector, seeing and picking up on the subtle changes a liar makes with his enhanced Kenbunshoku Haki. In actuality, by sensing one's aura output, Akihiko is even capable of sensing the relative strength levels of those within his vast eyesight range. As Kenbunshoku Haki allows one to sympathize with animals, Akihiko has shown himself having a natural affinity to sympathizing with those from the sea (Bagnara Kingdom heritage), as well as birds and insects. While predators are also capable of being sympathized with, Akihiko usually does not, and with Akihiko being able to see even inanimate objects, he can harness this power to observe things about the object he may not have detected otherwise. And to top it all off, Akihio's mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki grants him the ability to absorb incredulously vast amounts of sensory information simultaneously on repeat and even new for incredibly extended periods of time, and through his Haki, Akihiko can quite literally comprehend the movements and future movements of nearly any opponent that goes against him, making it incredibly easy to evade, his senses already being precise enough to sense and detect the beating of one's heart, the rate at which it is going with a single beat, and the ability to distinguish between heartbeats in a crowded area.

Additionally, while, *technically* not bypassing any weaknesses, Akihiko's ability to see inanimate objects with the utilization of Kenbunshoku Haki enables him to simply converse with the aura reflections of the ground and area around him in order to learn and predict the trajectory of othersie "unpredictable attacks", seemingly avoiding all forms of damage with the utmost of ease, as for example the poheir targets will be immediately avoided due twer which enables Haki wielders to bounce their fists off a wall and hit his assailant will simply not work due to his Haki detecting the angle at which the fists are coming back in precisely as well as the object's readings telling Akihiko the trajectory of other attacks, effectively making nothing random to Akihiko any longer.

* **Kenbunshoku Haki:In**- Akihiko, by utilizing the fact that his Kenbunshoku Haki sees his aura as light, is capable of concealing his lifeforce to the point he becomes incredibly hard to detect by other wielders of Kenbunshoku Haki, though a user of the same type of Haki with similar prowess has a higher chance of actually detecting him.

#### Busoshoku Haki

Busoshoku Haki, or the ability for one to generate an incredibly powerful aura around oneself, usually for defensive purposes, though at times also for offensive purposes, is yet another field that Akihiko proves himself incredibly talented in, almost as much as he is in the art of the utilization of Kenbunshoku Haki, as Akihiko is quite skilled in utilizing this to combat Devil Fruit wielding users, among others. Through the application of Busoshoku Haki, Akihiko gains the ability to generate what is effectively a tremendously powerful shield that protects and bolsters his personal durability to incredible heights, heights considered to be so mind-numbing that it is said that his regular applications of Busoshoku Haki as an invisible force rival the darker colouration of less powerful yet skillful practicioners of Haki wielders, even from the New World, and has demonstrated the ability to utilize this power to constantly protect himself from any and all forms of his damage he may have perceived with his uncanny Kenbunshoku Haki. This armour, naturally being aura, also is directly sent to his body and toughens his naturally denser fibers than most humans, augmenting his physical prowess even further apart from the bestowal of the quasi-mystical properties of this form of Haki. Akin to an enchanted armour, Akihiko is known for taking vast amounts of injuries that seemingly never stop coming towards him.

However, it appears to Akihiko that while Kenbunshoku Haki's power is the power to observe, Busoshoku Haki is the power to weaponize or augment that which may or may not be considered a weapon, something that Akihiko has clearly made use of. By expanding a large amount of Busoshoku Haki from his body during combat, Akihiko enables himself to tap into the vast reserves of Busoshoku Haki he has currently flowing around his body at will, and by practicing this technique, enables him to instantaneously erect a defense of Busoshoku Haki on reflex, as his abiltiy to accumulate Busoshoku Haki only grew further as he progressed in his journey throughout the oceans. Utilizing his unmatched prowess over his natural aura so far, Akihiko constantly demonstrates the power to focus his aura in specific parts of his body. Examples of such tremendous prowess come in the form of Akihiko's ability to flow aura through his own circulatory system throughout his body as if it was his blood, and literally have Haki flow through his veins, a unique technique that unlike most applications of Busoshoku Haki which focus on forming the armor around the body, Akihiko instead becomes the armour himself, his entire body completely hardening without showing the signs of this form of Haki to begin with, as well as forcing his internal body systems to work on a level far beyond what they might have ever worked at before, and instead of having the Haki quasi-mystically augment his striking prowess, Akihiko causes it to actually modify his physical attrbutes and characteristics, displaying an actual enhanced musculature, respiratory, and circulatory system, resulting in strength and speed levels said to be near unstoppable, a mere finger swipe causing the effects of his previous punches, and with an actual punch causing the air around him to compress extremely quickly and heat up as well as cause the wind to produce an incredible shockwave of even grander proportions than prior, having shockwaves be seen from across an island. Akihiko can then recoat the external portion of his body in Busoshoku Haki, allowing him to then destroy his foes with both of the attributes of the internal and external styles of this Haki form, strengthening not only his inner systems but also his outer systems.

Anything imbued with Busoshoku Haki gains the ability to strike enormously harder than it could before, and is magnified by the potency of one's Haki to begin with, as Akihiko's arms impact the air at such a force they cause friction and at times on impact with is opponent, immense levels of combustion, especially when considering the fact that force is also dependent on acceleration and momentum on velocity, as an incredibly potent combination of a firestorm, windstorm and an explosion erupts at the point of impact of Akihiko's attacks. Alternatively, Akihiko can project this Haki in front of him, erecting an incredibly powerful barrier to cover him from all angles, as well as guarding others at the time. However, Akihiko is also capable of projecting his Haki downwards, creating an invisible platform to allow him more angles to utilize his power of Geppo on, a technique of Rokushiki. In addition, also in an evolution of a Rokushiki technique, Akihiko is capable of gaining and channeling his aura to a point on his body, for example his finger, and then release an immensely powerful swarm of energy that attacks and even seemingly eviscerates whatever it impacts, a technique he jokingly referred to as Spirit Cannon, a technique which should perhaps be called the Flying Shigan. By injecting his Busoshoku into the area around him, Akihiko can generate a similar presence of aura to his own for the sake of naught but intimidation and escapism, **but** he has consistenly proven that he can do much more than simply that. By utlizing this invisible force and shaping it to suit his desires, Akihiko is capable of generating a vast arsenal of invisible weaponry, from kunai to full blown swords, generating a large channel of aura in between his arms, and with enough concentration, can cause it to become a solid blade seemingly inherently capable of cutting through any and all forms of Devil Fruit based defenses.

As Haki is directly dependent on the power of one's ambition, a concept on which it is based on and thrives upon, Akihiko is capable of creating masses of Haki which he then infuses his ambition within, technically conquering the masses, though more giving them the ambition and will to fight, and causing them to take up arms, the true power of Busoshoku Haki. As Busoshoku Haki's true purpose is the infusion of one's ambition to the environment around them, Akihiko is capable of effectively creating powers that allow him to generate spiritual weaponry utilizing Kenbunshoku Haki to guide the flow of his aura perfectly. Most, however, can simply only utilize this Haki with the ability to infuse the particular ambition of helping them win a specific fight, a power that results in things only becoming more durable and strengthening, etc. But by imbuing an object with the desire to simply assist in combat, Akihiko can for example, turn water solid under the power of his Busoshoku Haki, trapping the water within his spiritual armor and walking on it like nothing ever happened and as if he was not a Devil Fruit user, as well as seemingly more minor abilities such as applying a blast of Busoshoku Haki in opposition to his opponent's limbs to halt their movements. Additionally

But wait, there's more,Akihiko can also utilize his uncanny ability to see aura to attack extremely precisely, and for example, Akihiko can condense all of his Busoshoku Haki going into a particular impact into one singular area, allowing him to, for example, stop his opponent's heart by projecting and the concentrating the force of Busoshoku Haki ahead of him, and while blast or beam like attacks are possible and have been demonstrated by Akihiko, some of the truth of Akihiko's Devil Fruit negating Busoshoku Haki prowess will be revealed in his Rokushiki section, and it is suspected that should Akihiko reveal the ability to channel Haoshoku Haki, his threat level will only increase from there on out, as Akihiko's power, intellect, and propensity to combine his abilities proves amazing.

* **Busoshoku Haki:Asura-**  Akihiko, as a master of manipulating the flow of his aura due to his incredible perception of his aura to begin with, Akihiko can expand the size of his invisible armour at will, before generating a formation which appears to be almost exactly like those of his arms with the invisible force, which he then solidifies, producing an extremely powerful technique that Akihiko refers to only as **Asura,**not even saying the type of Haki used to create it to begin with, the size of these arm constructs being truly colossal, almost as if he was becoming a Bodishvatta of surprising devotion. This abilty enables Akihiko to accomplish what he considers a miracle of combat, the attack rate and speed of consecutive attacks far beyond that which any two-armed combatant could possibly hope to achieve, te technique often allowing him to overpower even those thought to be a great deal stronger than him, as well as pretty much as greatly bolster his actual superhuman physical strength.
* **Buso-Kenbunshoku Haki: Sitting Duck-** As Busoshoku Haki is the ability to condense and imbue one's aura into inaimate objects or one's body, Akihiko is capable of applying his Busoshoku Haki on nearby objects, before utilizing the resulting increase in aura concentration to see utilziing Kenbunshoku Haki, extending the range of his vision to even further heights, often considered terrfying, as even if Akihiko may not be able to track a target usually, which is perhaps the rarest occasion he has ran into, he can sense them based off, for example, a slight amount of Busoshoku Haki placed on their clothing, with the reflection and imrpints eventually touching their skin, marking them in his eyes. This means anything that Akihiko places his Haki into can be used as a conduit for his Kenbunshoku Haki, a technique that makes him truly dangerous indeed.

### Intellect

Akihiko possesses quite the amazing bit of intellect, harnessed from years of snooping up on and extracting information from the Marine Organization and World Government on everything from history, to sciences, to even the secrets of the ease of Marine navigation. As a former Marine Lieutenant, Akihiko is quite accustomed to the military strategies and ways of thinking of his opponents, the Marines, and how they would regularly react to most Pirates, and is even aware of whatever forms of experimentation that the Marines may be up to. From knowing where the Marines keep and store their food outside of the Headquarters as well as even learning how to cross the Grand Line safely without ever touching Reverse Mountain, having his crew build a ship with a concealed base of seastone to allow for safe travel through the Grand Line in a manner that avoids all Sea Kings and unnecessary beasts. Time after time, Akihiko has proven to know some small obscure bit of information, and at times, such a quality has proved advantageous and has actually led him to earn victories against numbers and more powerful opponents. Akihiko's intellect in fact is so vast that he can detect the power of Haoshoku Haki in persons by simply observing their personalities or backgrounds until they match up with what he expects, though admittably it is nor always correct, and even at times guess the talent and future heighrs of persons he faces accurately, determing whether or not they should be killed there and then. In addition, Akihiko is also capable of seemingly utilizing any weapon he places his hands on.

To top it all of however, and what makes the world truly admire his intellect, is his knowledge of exactly how Devil Fruits work on an intimate level, from all of their powers to their weaknesses and to even the categorizations and relative rarity of each category of Devil Fruit, and more specifically, his own, Akihiko's Devil Fruit as light itself and how light itself works. Knowing an extreme amount about light and how light actually works, this makes Akihiko incredibly talented with the usage of his Fruit, for several reasons detailed in his Devil Fruit section.

#### Scientific and Medical Prowess

Akihiko, being incredibly smart, is in fact capable of filling out both the roles of scientist and doctor of his crew quite handily, and is even..TBA

## Relationships

### Parents

The two individuals that for the most part, destroyed his childhood and indirectly molded him into the person he would become, Akihiko now hates his parents, and now consquently the Marines due to his parents blindly following the orders fo the Marines, who immediately went into the hiding as quickly as they heard of their son's defection from the Marine Organization, fearing for their own lives. While Akihiro in fact knows where they are, Akihiko has chosen not to pursue them further than he already has on his past occasions, only leaving them injured and hopefully to rot away.

## Trivia

* Inspiration for Akihiko's incredible mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki is a derivative of Daredevil, a Netflix show that the author should probably get back to binging, and a singular application is based of an advanced technique of Nen, a similar concept in the show Hunter X Hunter to Haki in general, so much so that several techniques from such a universe can be applied to Haki if elaborated on sufficiently.
