Dick Slimey the II

**Dick Slimey the II** or known as his “real name” **Cornelius Raphatt** is a Marine Warrant Officer. A skilled sniper coming from one of many Conomi Islands and son of the prestigious Marine Captain, **Dick Slimey**. Dick Slimey the II serves as an important member of the Lance Division headed by Jack Edmund, being both a scout and fighter, having been in many battles that would scar his perception of both Pirates and Marines enough to hold a foolish ambition to change the **World Government** to fit his own ideals and version of justice instilled to him by his father.

## Appearance

Dick Slimey the II was once average height, his frame had shrivelled and atrophied due to his overuse of his **Devil Fruit** the **Mushi Mushi no Mi: Model Kabutomushi**. His body was slender but muscled, now reduced to bone thin limbs marked by scars and infected flesh received by the sheer amount of pirates he has to fight on a near daily basis, yet he does not feel a single ounce of pain whilst inside of his **Hybrid Form**. Dick’s hair is messily combed over with black hair that is shaved at the sides in an undercut fashion. Dick Slimey rarely ever blinks while he is human, often spending so much time as a hybrid that his body is naturally adapting to one and abandoning the other, taking aspects of an insect wherever he goes.

Dick’s Hybrid form is a mess of chitin and plates of armour, four arms extend from his midsection, spikes jut out from his body and point in a variety of directions. A horn lay atop his head and another at his back reminiscent of a **Rhinoceros Beetle**. His back is massive and is his most protected and armoured point, containing three layers of protection to make sure his wings do not get damaged. Inside of this form he gains strength, speed, agility, and durability alongside **Pain Immunity**, **Flight**, and **Immense Strength**.

### Personality

Dick Slimey the II see’s himself as a weapon, a tool to be used and thrown away. Ever since his father had returned from a traumatic experience during a World Government operation featuring **Cipher Pol**, he had never been the same and his own vision of the WG was twisted. He would turn to groom his son Dick to become an honourable Marine, one who would be valiant in his duty, be honourable, be strong, and to defend the weak, all qualities his father saw as befitting one of a true Marine. But both Dick’s became to engrossed in this work, forcing Young Dick to be left alone in the forests to survive for himself, engaged in shooting drills, trained and fought with him at all hours of the day to turn him into a stronger man in both spirit and body but only causing him to lose out on his childhood and grow to be an emotionally stunted man who believed the Marines could do no wrong.

### Pet

Dick Slimey’s trusted friend and confidant **Khemri** was a Giant Rhinoceros Beetle which was native to the Boin Archipelago and brought over to the Conomi Islands by Dick Slimey the First. Khemri is currently the size of an African Elephant and weighing over 5 tonnes, its chitin is a bright blue zigzagged by battle scar’s discolouring the exoskeleton. It is possible one of the oldest Giant Beetles to date and shows that through its intelligence and skill in battle as it ate the **Jake Jake no Mi**, allowing the creature to turn into a jacket to be worn by others
