She has a Mesomorph build, Caucasian skin and a Dragon tattoo that snakes along her left arm and along her back which is a symbol of her previous status of how strong a gladiator, She was, as well as large scar along her abdomen, hidden by her kimono.

## Personality

Kali is surprisingly laidback often going with the flow of most things, she is kind hearted and usually tries to save the weak or down trodden. She sees her crew as a family more so like siblings rather than a specific hierarchy. Kali despises slavers whether they be actual slavers or people who use their power to put themselves in positions of power and can get quite infuriated seeing it happen. Kali refuses to stand down from tyrants and will try to help wherever she can. However, : Kali mistrusts most authority figures, as they assume that they either have an ulterior motive or are trying to use her like a slave.

She believes in **Freedom.** Kali fights not just for herself or her crew but for slaves, be it true slavery or oppression. To that point she doesn’t demand anyone she helps to shackle themselves to her but they are free to choose to join her if they wish. She aims to crush the celestial dragons and slavers as a whole. Additionally, her dream is that she aims to become the Pirate King believing they are the freest of the free.

## Powers/Abillites/Equipment

### Overview

Kali, having been forced to fight as a gladiator as well as been taught in the ways of the kuja tribe from an early age; has deep grasp and understanding in hand-to-hand combat, with her weapon of choice being the Naginata being a perfect fit for her thanks to her Kuja instincts. She also has a small understanding of haki, although not much having been taught in the way of the Kuja by her mother, being able to briefly manfest a minor form of aramament haki for a short period before it fades.

### Thundering Resolve

Kali has a strong resolve, that adds force behind her actions; especially with her strikes, by channeling her inner fighting spirit, she is able to unleash devestating thunderous blow against her enemies that is able to deal damage to even the most tough of foes she has so far came up against (as seen during her fight with Eugine Partimus where she was able to create a trike that was able to deal immense damage through his stone gargoyle skin). Her resolve is even able to help her push through difficult battles, by creating a counter-shockwave with her naginata when she takes a heavy hit whilst in turn minimizing the damage she takes in the process *(Echoing Rebuke)* or even unleashing the shockwave into the ground to reverberate across an area and damage foes from a distance *(Reverbating Smite & Shatter).*

### Devil Fruit

Kali ate the Hebi-Hebi no Mi, Model; King Cobra during the "Kingdom of Goa" when she was on Lizard Island. The devil fruit a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to turn into a king cobra hybrid and a full king cobra at will. It can also give the user the ability to create and spit venom.

The fruit's greatest strength, is that along with physical strength gained from their transformed forms, they gain a long versatile body that they can use like a real king cobra granting them a longer range, allowing Kali to strike foes down with her naginata easily from upto 15ft away, as well as the ability to spit purple venom for long ranged combat. As a cobra is a predatory reptile, Kali's zoan is better adapted for combat than normal Zoan types.

The hybrid form also seems to endow the user incredible resilience to heat and fire, It is not known for how long the user can withstand the fire, however when Kali was hit by an indirct strike from Akairaion's magma when trying to escape from the Goa Palace, it showed that the damage she took was far less as compared to what it would of been if she was not in her hybrid form when she was attacked. As she was able to shed the charred skin shortly after, leaving no burn scarring.

The tail of the form can be tied to an object to limit their movement and leave them vulnerable. Other than that, this fruit so far does not seem to have any specific weaknesses outside the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

## Relationships

### Shiva

Shiva is the pet snake of Kali whom is her closest friend, having known her and been with her since her childhood. They are akin to family.

### Sabar

Sabar is a savage, wild girl that Kali met on Lizard Island. Kali quickly makes friends with her, finding her adorable and is attempted to help her rescue her friend, LIZARDARY, however, despite freeing her friend, it met its unfortunate end saving the group. Sabar views Kali now has her closest friend.

## History

### Past

Born to a Kuja woman who used to be a former pirate, having settled down in the East Blue. During her youth her mother would teach her the ways of the Kuja and even helping her learn to fight with the Naginata. When she turned 11 however things would take a turn for the worse, in the dead of the night ,a bounty hunter stole her and her mother away. It was an entire accident to take her but in end the bounty hunter saw it as an opportunity and sold her off to a gladiatorial arena. She was forced to fight in all sorts of battles for people's entertainment. Forced to fight for a solid 10 whole years hardened her somewhat as well as a flair for theatrics. On her 21st birthday she lead a revolt and helped free as many slaves as possible from the arena and even killing the people that bought her. After escaping the marines she stole a small boat and set sail for the open seas.

### A Fresh New East Blue

#### **The Kingdom of Goa**

A Small Boat flowwed into the massive junkyard located on Dawn Island, just outside the great gate of Goa. Silent and in a bad shape. Upon it laid Kali sleeping , who was slowly rousing from her slumber with a small serpent proding at her head repeatedly attempting to wake her up . A sudden jolt from the boat hitting land awoke Kali. She was jostled awake slamming into the other bench. She shook her head trying to clear it, Kali looked around the junkyard before smiling happy to finally be out of the arena and free. Looking over the side to make sure she wouldn’t be stepping on anything dangerous Kali grabbed what little items she owned and stepped out of the boat before taking in a deep breath. The smell of rotting garbage flooded the air as she breathed it in. Looking around, she saw quite alot of decaying and rotting garbage. Holding her breath, she began stepping through the rotting mulch of trash, each step she took, she could hear the rustling and splashing of foul liquid before eventually noticing a small shabby shack made of recycled junk, mostly metal and wooden scraps, off to a clearing. There Kali encountered a small eldery woman, about 5'4ft, with a pale complection and ash brown hair up in a bun wearing a tatty dirty white wedding dress, which was tore in numerious places. Weilding a Kichten Ladle as a weapon confronting her called **Kithen**.

After convincing her she was not apart of the group of bandits that robbed her blind and took her treasure (although, she didn't describe to Kali what it was until she returned later.). After a nice conversation with the nice elderly woman, with Kali persuading her to give her the location of the bandits as well as Kithen nicely informing her of the direction to the Goa Kingdom. Kali headed back into the junk filled lands before reaching the Bandits hideout: an old pirate ship wreckage.

Arriving at the Ship wreckage, Kali wasted no time dispatching the foul thugs after her failed attempt to sneak on board and find the treasures taken from Kithen without violence. Killing the two of the three bandits that were outside guarding the ship with her trusted naginata, whilst scaring the third into surrendering and giving up the bosses location whilst she flicked her braid behind her and calmly walked up to the bandit before he ran away.

As Kali enterd the ship, she saw a rotund black man with fish-like lips and dotty eyes sat shirtless with brown baggy pants. Wearing a grey cowl. Sat scoffing his face with fresh fruits.

> “Fine then it’s time to continue the blood payment” *Kali as she swings her Naginata towards him spraying with the blood of his former alive subordinates*

Kali fought against the bandit leader: **Delfario the Fatty** with aid from her close friend and pet snake: Shiva. Like a butterfly fluttering in the sky, gracefully dodge the rolling attacks of Delfario, with Shiva around your neck. Although recieving a heavy hit from one of his huge frame full body bashes, which just pissed Kali off more and more as she sliced into him with her naginata with aid from Shiva's bites. Finally finishing him off when with fury in her eyes and as she danced around, the deafening sound of thunder could be heard with each of her steps. She spun her Naginata around before stabbing into his disgusting stomach and slicing it open as about ten thousand belli spewwed out as well as a silver pendant... and his intesntine.... as he fell on his back dead.... and then bounced back to his feet... then fell again... the cycle continuing for about 5 minutes until his momentum halted and he just ragdolled.

Kali would return to Kithen after the defeat of Delfario and cleaning the Necklace, handing it to the elderly lady who informed her that her treasure was a bronze lockbox. However, thankful for her help in defeating the bandits, the old lady coooked and allowed Kali to rest up as long as she liked before she headed off on her journey.

#### **Lizard Island**

Kali encounters Sabar upon arriving on the island, before quickly encountering a platoon of marines which the two of them fought off, before Kali gained Sabar's trust. After a brief talk, Kali discovers that the marines were after Sabar and are also pursuing her friend, **LIZARDARY.** Not wishing to waste time the two of them head towards Lizardary's home, a cave system, deeper into the island. However, they would arrive too late due to an unforseen natural obsticle known as a river, which they spent quite a bit of time struggling to traverse, which resulted in them in arriving much later than they anticipated.

As they arrived outside the cave system, somewhat dry after their two hour detour due to the river's harsh waters, they were met with the sight of several marine corpses that seemedto be coated with different substances from around the the area. One Marine is coated entirely in stone. Another is half submerged in the ground, coated with dirt. Another one of them seemed to have drowned as his body is covered in a thin layer of water that made it difficult to breath.

Now on-guard due to the revelation of the situation, Kali & Sabar stepped into the bleak gray stone interior of the cave system and began to look for Sabar's friend. Running with haste when Sabar picks up her friends scent until they ran into a sprawling open section of the cavern, which had a small hole in the roof that was letting in natural light as they saw what seemed to be a disturbed nest with a few GIANT eggs around it. At the center of the nest is a Gentleman with a rather bleak mid-denim aethetic, wearing a bucket hat and a face covering only showing a single eye. He had old rose coloured marine offical shoulder pads. His coat a mix of two shades of blue. With a Brilliant Blue undershirt. He stood around 5'7ft. A bizzare knuckle duster on one of his hands, with a double-bladed sword polearm sheathed on his back. He was looking over the nest. Nodding to himself, as he noticed the two of them enter. Mentioning himself as **Liutenant HalfnHalf** before engaging the two in a short but hard battle, which almost ended in Kali's demise and Sabar's capture had her pet snake and loyal companion: Shiva, not valiantly took the brunt of HalfnHalf's final attack! Which gave Kali the opening she needed as she glared at the man her pupils almost micro as rage has taken over. Clutching her Naginata, she swung at the man slashing the back of his knees to drop him down, then his wrists to make him drop his weapons before spinning and slicing his head clean off, Killing him. She would then frantic stablise Shiva to prevent him from dying from his wounds before passing out to rest.

They would discover afterwards that **Captain Mixi-Max** captured Lizardary, Who was some form of Dragon-like creature, and intended to transport it to the Goa Kingdom for the Celestial Dragon known as **Jaffa .** Before he left, he ordered his men to spread out and find a lost item that they lost during their task finding the Lizardary. However, Kali would find this first, after killing several marines, including one that was holding an opened bronze lockbox with a strange egg inside , what they were looking for, Kali would decide to eat it, becoming a devil fruit user in order to ensure the marines could not retrive the fruit. Becoming the user of the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: King Cobra, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows her to transform into a King Cobra. She would then briefly after steal a marine ship and sail towards the Goa Kingdom in pursue of Lizardary!

This would led her back to the island of Dawn and the Goa Kingdom, during her travel on the boat, she freed the imprisoned Crest and the two together, alongside Sabar formed a plan to free Lizardary.

The group would arrive at Goa, disguising themselves as marines and using it as a cover to hide from anyone who would recognise Kali. There, they would encounter a friendly Akairaion, who was called by the Celestial Dragon to be her own personal guard and kill the ones responsible for originally attacking here (Kali). With some deceptive words, Kali and Crest trick the Admiral into believing they are members of a branch send to aid her on security, mentioning they got lost since they had never been to the Goa Kingdom before. They would walk and talk for abit, until Kali revealed her slave brand, causing the Admiral to threaten to burn it off for Kali's own safety, however she was talked out of it. Eventually, the group would arrive at the royal palace of Goa and see Mixi-Max and Jaffa with an imprisoned Lizardary, intending to broadcast the suffering of Lizardary. The two of them set themselves in place as the Broadcast went on air and struck. However, Kali was detected by Mixi-max, who attempted to shoot her as the broadcast went on.

Due to a serious miscommuication; Crest almost kills the Celestial Dragon and Kali and co are forced to retreat as Akairaion uses her Magu Magu no Mi to attempt to eliminate them. They recieve serious burns, thankfully, Kali in her snake form was able to shed the burnt skin. They eventually managed to escape thanks to Lizardary breaking free however, he took a direct hit from the Admirals strongest attack, Killing him, but not before he was able to successfully help them escape.

### The House of Cooks (Orange Islands Arc)

During the events of this arc, Kali would ally with the Cook Family and agree to aid them in return for a shipwright or navigator. Shortly after arriving on the island and being interrorgated and accosted by Jallius Cook, one of the heads of the Cook Family, she would respond alongside Crest to attack on the town city by Revolutionary Forces; forced to fight for her life against an elemental of fire whilst Crest engaged the alleged mastermind behind the incident: Eugine Partimus. Defeating the firey elemental as Crest was knocked off the building by his opponent, she was unable to pursue Eugine, who had revealed himself to be a devil fruit user that ate the **Batto Batto no Mi, Model; Gargoyle.**

Regrouping with Jallius, she convinced him to allow her to help with the investigation; leading her to Detective Greens, an indepentant private detective looking into the matter in order to solve the mystery. As the two of them agree it would be better to pool their resources to track down the main culprit, they (with Crest) managed to track down the Gargoyle to an abandoned fort near the center of the island. Engaging in a brief scuffle with some form of mechanical long-armed creature, they drew the attention of Eugine who mocked them before engaging in battle with the two.

With a grueling fight, and pushed way past her limits! Kali fought with determination and bravery! Using everything within her arsenal in order to try defeat the Revolutionary; despite Eugine having the clear upper hand, disarming Kali as she was in a critical state and not able to hit him due to his abillity of flight: His own arrogance..... led to Kali gaining a perfect oppurtunity he discarded her Naginata. The very one Eugene had the chance to prevent her from using that he discarded in an act of cockiness; becoming full of himself that he had triumphed over the commoner.... landed in Kali's hand. Narrowly managing to evade a surprise strike from her regained weapon; overconfident in his distance; He did not expect what came next based on her last performance as he held out his hand to block the naginata once more as Kali made one final attack of desperation by throwing her Naginata at him usingall her strength to throwing her naginata with major force as she screamed out her attack **"Lightning Rod!"** She threw the naginata as hard as she could...as it pierced through the hand that attempted to block, stabbing inbetween his eye pinning Eugine's hand to his face as she watched him lose his strength, plummeting from the ground and gazed as he perished with a look of despair upon his face.... that he had been defeated by a mere commoner.
