Francis Lockwood

Francis is a 19 year old boy who was born and raised in the east blue. At birth his mother (Ireane Asher) left as soon as he was born and left to the sea. Her main motive is unknown but one known reason is the fact that she gave birth to Francis at a young age, thus he grew up with his dad (Theo Lockwood). Francis currently is not apart of any pirate crew; however he will most likely join a crew when the time is right to make a name for himself as his mother made a bet with Theo saying "if this kid can make a name for himself, I will respect you and that kid". Francis' father's love for Ireane is huge so growing up Francis has always been pressured to do anything to make a name for himself. Along with this, he used to get bullied by the people on Yotsuba Island for having a mother who left and for having a father who left the marines for a pirate. Francis vowed to make a name for himself to prove his village wrong!

## **Appearance**

Francis has short, messy, dirty blonde hair, he has a scar, that goes from the side of his face and right besides his nose and he has a muscular build but with a smaller frame. He wears a loose black jacket ,which he robbed of an enemy. He also carries two basic flintlock pistols. Towards the end on Tundra island he gets a finger piece, that was also another stolen cosmetic. When on an island close to the calm belt, Francis also attained a new pistol which was ivory black.

## **Personality**

Francis has quite a dull personality, part of the reason for this is during his childhood, he did not have a chance to connect to anyone because of the bullying he went through. When on Tundra Island we saw him help out the dwarfs who were in need, by killing the pirates without hesitation. It seems Francis does not support the unfair rule of innocent people. This shows that he is quite a fair person who believes that people should have their freedom without unfair rule. At the end of Tundra island, we saw Francis get warned that there was many marines and he started laughing and becoming more and more exciting showing, that he loves life when it involves high risk just like his mother. We also know that he is a man of his word (he made a promise with the king to protect his daughter) because when Aya was kidnapped, despite knowing her for a week, Francis went to such lengths to save her, he even lost 4 of his fingers. A few months has passed since his encounter with Aya and forming The Flintlock pirates. Ever since then, with Francis getting more and more members we see him open up to be a more funnier and loving person than his old previous dull personality.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

### **Overview**

Francis possesses two flintlock pistols one of them being a normal pistol but the other, being a ivory black pistol which is much stronger than an average flintlock pistol. It also has hidden powers, that Francis has yet to discover. Francis previously possessed Elemental fingers, but in an unfortunate event (that you can read in 'Right and wrongs' further down the page) It was lost. On Hellcrags island, we saw Francis use his new fighting style against a marine captain. It is a fighting that's theme is revolved around lightning it is a really explosive fighting style however, drains a lot of stamina.

#### **Shelbie's Bullet**

Francis obtained a 'Shelbie Bullet,' from the north city in the Tundra village. These are bullets that explode on impact which deals quite a lot of damage, depending on the target and if the shot is well aimed.

#### ~~Elemental fingers~~

* **Mizu**

On Francis' pinky finger, there is a stream of water that comes out at intense speeds. (former)

* **Kaji**

On Francis' ring finger, there is a ferocious wave of fire. (former)

* **Korosu**

On Francis' middle finger, there is a loud and deadly zap of lightning that shouts out at an incredible speed. (former)

* **Shokyaku**

On Francis' index finger, shoots out a huge beam of vibrant light that initially does not hurt or seem dangerous however, after a few seconds, it starts to melt away at the skin. (former)

* **Lord let there be light.**

On Francis' thumb, shoots out a huge blinding beam of light it also can be stuck up one hole and shine out the other... (former)

#### **The lightning style**

From the start to now (currently leaving Hellcrags Island) Francis attained the lightning fighting style. We saw Francis use this against the marine captain. Some strengths of this fighting style are; Increased strength, Increased speed and Increased mobility and he can discharge the electricity from his body and use this offensively and defensively. As of right now, you could spot out many flaws to the fighting style due to little experience in it. The biggest weakness is the fact that his muscle mass rapidly decreases, therefore, giving him a short amount of time in this form.

## **Relationships**

### **The Flintlock Pirates**

#### Aya

Initially, Francis did not like her when he found her on the mountain. He only wanted to get the money because she was a missing princess. However, Aya was ignorant and, she constantly refused to go back to the castle so, after a few hours of arguing they both agreed on a bet. If Francis could survive the whole week with her deadly curse on him, she will go with him out to the sea. Francis won the bet and then held her to that promise thus creating The Flintlock Pirates, where he would be the captain. Recently, we have seen that Francis has shown his appreciation to her not only as the 1st commander but as a friend as well, by buying her a gift and having longer and more personal interactions with her.

#### Rosaku

When meeting Rosaku, Francis didn't like him. His voice was annoying and what he talked about was irritating. Rosaku as a person was someone Francis disliked. However, after Francis killed his adoptive father in an attempt to save Rosaku, he felt like shit. Nothing ever made him feel like this. He realised he took away a dream. He took away someone without realising the meaning behind it. This event made him hold Rosaku in higher regard half of it was pity and the other half of it was realising, how strong he must have been over these years. After Aya and Francis brought Rosaku along without his say, Francis couldn't still make eye contact or talk to him properly so, in an attempt to strengthen the relationship, he'd often spoil Rosaku. He would take him to any Island that his research is needed, he would help him with many things he needed and tried to treat him like a son to replace his adoptive father. When at the Goa Kingdom battle, The Flintlock Pirates were being pursued by marines and Admiral Dokazu. The admiral hurt Rosaku, therefore, making Francis flare-up in a rage. He even went up to the admiral to make sure the crew could get away. Francis gained even more respect for Rosaku as he did stand before this admiral with no hesitation. Francis and Rosaku also have begun to have a more comfortable relationship. They can both talk to each other and laugh with each other, despite their differences in the past.

#### Sucal

Francis admires Sucals ability. In the trivia, it is said, "Francis spends at least 2 hours a day asking Sucal to use his ability." Francis does not have any other thoughts apart from Sucal being badass. That's the only reason he recruited Sucal. Francis has made sure to keep his promise and help Sucal (like all the other crew members) to help him reach his goal along the way.

#### Green Lotus

Francis and Green Lotus met just at the right time when Francis was hijacking a Marine ship to get out of the Hellcrags, the forces that Francis brought to battle raided the vessel and released a prisoner. Right when Francis was about to get penetrated by 50+ bullets, a woman with long green hair and two swords instantly rushed out and sliced through the marines. Even though their meeting was brief, Francis admired her skill as a swordswoman and asked her if she could aid him in this battle, to which she agreed too. After defeating the captain ranked Marine member, Francis was exhausted and was out for two weeks. He saw Green Lotus again and thanked her for her efforts. With nowhere to go, Francis offered her a 'trial' for the Flintlock pirates. She agreed comfortably and for a few weeks: they fought together, drunk together and laughed together. Francis finally offered her a place to the Flintlock pirates however, she never agreed so quickly. After explaining why she never complied, Francis didn't hesitate to help her. So The flintlock pirates went to The Rashidun Archipelago, but they had no luck finding much stuff for her dad. Francis was pissed off whilst frustrated, he called up his father Theo Lockwood. All that he said was, "piece together the puzzle kid, your mom has purple eyes, and I have blonde hair, what do you have blonde hair and purple eyes and one more piece of advice don't you dare go looking for her dad and disassociate yourself with that woman." Francis was up all night thinking on this until he came to the realisation and went to Green Lotus and asked, "Lotus is...is Dokazu your old man."

## **Family**

#### **Theo**

Theo is an ex-marine, Francis has never really cared for marines or pirates, so he never really looked up to his dad in any sort of way. When Francis was young, Theo would shout at him, beat him quite often, and would just be spiteful to him because he blamed the leaving of Ireane to Francis because she left as soon as Francis was born. As well as this, Francis would get trained to be ready to make a name for himself (because his mother made a promise to Theo in which to, respect Theo and Francis if he did get a name for himself so Francis never had freedom in his childhood, the only thing he could do is be abused, be insulted and be trained, thus making Francis despise his father when old enough to realise what he was doing. On Neon city though we saw Francis get pissed of at the fact that 'god' was insulting Theo's name as well as Ireanes.

#### **Ireane**

Ireane is just a mother who left, Francis does not have much knowledge about her, however, he feels like he wants to see to her because the great woman his father made her out to be. Francis wants a connection with his mother unlike the one he had with his father. We also see Francis get mad at the fact that 'god' was insulting her name as well as Theo's.

## **Allies**

#### **Dwarfs on Tundra Island**

When on Tundra island, the Dwarfs seemed to take a liking to Francis after he helped out them, by killing the pirates also the captain of the pirate who was posing as the king. We saw their gratitude towards Francis by them, giving him many rounds of Shelbie bullets, which are really expensive.

## **Friends**

#### **Nolan**

Nolan was a depressed old dwarf that Francis saved whilst on Tundra island thus making him a friend. We saw Nolan and Francis having fun whilst killing the pirates and taking down one of the strongest captains men. We also see Nolan getting really anxious and scared for Francis' sake when he was going down to fight the captain. Francis made it out the victor, but of course Francis could not stay on the Island as marines were coming so Francis and depressed dwarf Nolan departed separate ways with smiles on their faces.

#### **Baelon Greyjoy**

Baelon and Francis met by chance whilst both of them were stuck in a vortex. Francis had an idea to get out of this predicament however, the chance of survival was not that high. The Flintlock pirates were about to go through with this half-assed plan until Baelon called Francis out on his shenanigans and offered Francis and his crew a way out of this problem. Francis was still speculating on how he would get him out of here, but he agreed nonetheless. A few minutes passed until Baelon said, "it's time to get out of here," to the Flintlock pirates' surprise, this man who they thought was a fool had a power that was frightening. It was the Magu Magu no mi. Baelon cleared a path for The Flintlock pirates then they both parted ways happily, but this wasn't going to be the only time they would see each other. Just a day later, Francis unfortunately, came in contact with a Marine base. Despite this, Francis and his crew found a way to push through this problem by crashing their huge stolen marine ship into the Marine base. This caused thousands of casualties furthermore, Francis released hundreds and thousands of prisoners whilst running through the base heading to the other marine ships that were on the other side of the Island. Things were looking tough due to the number of marines that were docking the vessels and how few ships there were, but just as things were about to look dim, Baelon brightened up the day whilst being on his one-man boat, he started destroying the marines giving the pirates a chance to escape. Francis and Baelon destroyed this marine base and parted with smiles and thumbs up, once again leaving on a good note.

## **Enemies**

#### **Unnamed Captain**

From constantly hearing the unfair rule from many dwarfs and especially depressed dwarf Nolan, Francis was pissed at The captain. Whilst their fight Francis feelings never changed he just kept his anger, until he killed him with little to no difficulty. Francis was pretty disappointed with how quickly the fight ended, so he never held any respect for his fighting ability the only thing Francis took interest in, was the captains armour.

#### **'God'**

Francis never intended to fight with 'god' but he initiated things so they fought. During their fight 'god' was keep on slandering the names of Ireane and Theo which aggravated Francis, this made him fight even better against him it was a close fight. Fortunately, Francis won the fight and right before killing him, Francis gave him final word and his lifelessly said "fuck Ireane" thus allowing Francis to end him. Francis also took a shit on him and sliced of his head and put it on a spike in the city.

#### **Admiral Dokazu**

When at the Goa Kingdom war, Francis never really cared for Dokazu. He was only a bit fearful when he was beaten by Dokazu, after releasing the prisoner, Tregov Grealish. When trying to escape the admiral with his crew, Rosaku harmed his wood logia which resulted in him being interested in Francis' doctor. The admiral asked Rosaku how he damaged him and Rosaku then hesitantly walked over to him and explained. When explaining how he hurt him, it seemed in their conversation something came up in which the admiral struck Rosaku. Francis, knowing his own weakness he was ashamed of himself. He never felt any fear towards the admiral. The only thing he could feel at that moment was hatred. Therefore, Francis promised to kill Admiral Dokazu to his face at the battle of Goa kingdom.

#### **"10"**

Francis' first thoughts on "10" were that he was a force not to be trifled with after killing 1000 men in a second. After forming a temporary 'alliance', Francis felt safer. He also started to admire his strength. After a while, Francis was calm and relaxed around "10" and enjoyed fighting with him but, his strength is something no one could forget about. When parting ways, Francis and "10" left on a good note. Francis has made "10" a base example of what he wants his strength to be like in the future but "10" isn't someone who Francis could see himself being allies with in the future, they will most likely be enemies the next time they meet.

#### **Captain Vargo**

In Francis' eyes, he saw Vargo as a bitch for being stuck up on a mini boat he stole over six months ago, but regardless he still went to the Island to fight him. Francis never really had enough time to build up a solid opinion of Captain Vargo but it was on the bad side because Vargo was taunting him for the disappearance of Aya and Green lotus on the Island. When fighting Vargo, he never really hated him or liked him Francis only saw him as a hindrance on his pathway to become king of the pirates.

**Captain Magnus**
Upon meeting the captain, Francis didn't know what to expect. But when he survived a point-blank explosion from multiple ships he knew that this Marine Captain meant business. Right before their battle, they had some conversation and Francis thought he was delusional and his expectations were unrealistic, Magnus thought by taking him and the Vulture King, he would get a promotion to Admiral or even Fleet Admiral. So after that, they fought and in under 2 minutes, the captain was at the mercy of Francis making Francis think that this man was a person who was all bark and no bite, someone who never had a good view of reality and someone who wasn't even worth remembering so he ended his life with ease.

## **Francis' Adventure**

#### ■ **Tundra Island**

After Theo telling Francis to leave to make a name for himself, to get his mother to come back, he left for the sea. He stole a ship that belonged to pirates without him knowing. Whilst on the boat, Francis got a call via transponder snail, from pirates saying, "give us back the ship" however Francis denied them. A few weeks later at sea, Francis arrived at a place called Tundra island. Whilst on this island, Francis discovered that pirates are taking over the island, so he started to kill pirates one by one helping the innocent citizens, including the captain who was posing as a 'king' on this Island. With more and more killing Francis eventually reaches the self-proclaimed captain and kills him. During their fight, there was special armour, that was a hindrance whilst battling. When trying to take the armour off, it seemed like it was glued to his skin the only thing that Francis could take off, was two-finger pieces that shot flames out. When searching the captain's body, Francis found out that this piece of armour was made by a man called Shelbert Morton, who crafted the Shelbie's bullets (these are bullets that Francis uses). A few minutes later, Francis dragged out the man's dead body thus saving the city from his tyranny, however with the cheer, there came a warning "MARINES" Francis grinned at this and shouted "The name is Francis Lockwood get to know it!" as he fled to the shore, therefore, getting one step closer towards his goal, to become a well-known pirate!

#### ■ **Neon City**

Whilst Francis was on his ship, the newspapers fell. Whilst reading the newspaper, Francis received a 17 million belly bounty and he was over the moon. When arriving at Neon city, Francis walked through neon, towering trees in the night to only hear screams, he then got closer to the screams to see a group of 6 people, with children boiling beside them in a pot for a so-called ‘ritual’. Francis quickly takes the cult members all out, but he was too late for the children. Quickly after, lightning struck each one of the men’s bodies, revealing tattoos that showed a meteor hitting earth. Francis then looked up to the sky to see a bright light, that showed seconds after the lightning struck the people. With this dilemma, Francis had one trick in his bag to save the people so, he ran to the city and shouted “I’m Francis Lockwood, 17 million bounty, gimme your loot!” when this is shouted, the village went into a panic as they all ran to the shores and left on boats. When it seemed most people left there was a lone survivor of the extremist cult, and they fought in a fierce battle in which, more information about Ireane and Theo was revealed, also this members hatred towards Francis’ parents, gave him a lot more motivation to fight and a weird sense of anger, for the disrespect of his parents. After many exchanges of blow Francis prevailed, Francis finally won. With excitement and anger, Francis took a shit on the enemy and spread his blood around the main city plaza, which spelt ‘Francis Lockwood’ also a little note saying “Ireane I’m another step closer” He left the island shortly after hearing marines coming to the island, then set out to the next island. A few days out at sea, a new newspaper goes around with a wanted poster of Himself, with a whopping 45 million belly bounty!

### **■ Zaria Kingdom**

After receiving the 45 million belly bounty, Francis was at sea waiting for the next island. After a week of travel without any food, Francis passed out on the ship. To his surprise, he woke up in some sort off, care home. He then was greeted by a young man treating Francis' injuries after the fight against god. Whilst he was talking to the young man, it came to Francis' mind later that a princess has been missing for a month now, and now the kingdom is in disarray. Francis never really cared about this until he thought of the possibility of him stealing the princess, so if he was to kidnap her, it'd cause a raise in his bounty. So he went to the mountains to where she was last seen. After days of hiking, Francis comes across a young lady being attacked by a huge boar, which he killed thus, saving the mysterious lady. After saving her, the rude woman was not trying to talk with Francis and after a few minutes of arguing, it came to Francis' surprise that she was the princess. Francis attempted to take her without any hostile intent by asking her to come with him to sea. She said no and then she told Francis about why she left the kingdom, why she is running. Francis then considered this and, then they both came to an agreement in which, if Francis survives a week with Aya's misfortunate curse, she will go out to sea but, if he fails, he dies. Francis jumped at this chance with a huge smile. One week passed. There were many hardships that Francis faced despite this, he prevailed. So with that, they left to sea with a new crew called the 'Flintlock pirates' in a brand new ship and with a brand new adventure.

#### **■ Right and Wrongs**

When at sea, Francis and Aya realised that they are fucked without a navigator. Also, he knew they are wasting time at sea for no reason. When travelling cluelessly, they come across a huge Sea King that was chasing them down. Francis and Aya tried to escape it but, they weren't fast enough, they got swallowed by the sea king. 2 days later Francis wakes up thirsty, hungry and pissed. He then tried to look around to find Aya in what seemed to be the Sea kings stomach, but he could not find her. Francis was frightened because he may have lost someone he can call a friend. So he ran around for hours in this beast. Unfortunately, there was no luck. Francis soon came to a halt to catch his breath whilst catching his breath, he heard heavy breathing. Thinking this was Aya he ran over to the heavy breathing, not revealing Aya but an elderly man holding a sword. Francis woke up the man and repeatedly asked "have you seen a little brat with long blonde hair," and he gave a reply, "she's up" Francis ran around the Sea king once more. When running, he carved his name on the insides whilst running around. Again, there was no luck. Francis was pissed. He ran back to the old man and demanded to know where she was. He replied once more saying "she'll come back here don't mind her" Francis waited a few hours and when sitting down with this old man. It was then revealed, that he was shichibukai from 50 years ago and has relation with Theo and Ireane. This came to his surprise due to the man's age. Francis then stopped waiting because many more hours passed with no luck. The old man used some sort of an explosion and burst out the beast and said to Francis, "You're going up but, your still not going the right way" Francis didn't get what he meant at first but, he swam out of this dead beast and went then swam to the shore. On the shore, it said A.P (This was Aya's initials) he then ran and looked around but there was no sign of Aya, there was only a sign of a massive ship that has already set voyage and, it was in the distance. Francis swiftly took a piece of broken wood from the shore and used the mode **Mizu** and propelled himself towards the ship but peculiarly and a figure came flying at him. Was this Aya no? This was a grown man. He came flying at Francis at immense speeds then, Boom. Francis flew back to the shore with his finger pieces broken and four of his fingers because his fingers, were cut off. He screamed out in agony, then the words rang in his head again, "but your still not going the right way," he then ran to the middle of the barren island to reveal an empty shaft. Francis opened the door to this shaft, revealing a new ivory pistol with a riddle next to it talking about the mind and soul. He then thought about his crew, his ship, his adventure and his crewmate. It then sent him to the shore without him doing it and, then the gun seemed to have a mind of its own. Francis followed his heart and shot a bullet into the far distance, barely being able to see the ship, then a few seconds later, then boom at the boat. Francis then picked up the broken raft and started rowing this to the flames almost lifelessly. He reached the ship with his crewmate being atop this burning ship. She then floated down in this new 'Fancy dress' and surprised that Francis would go to such lengths to save her. Whilst he and Aya were trying to gain the bearings, a half-dead pirate rang the den den mushi and just said the name 'Francis D. Lockwood'
