May Nord

**May Nord** (メー ノードゥ, Mee Noodu) is the Guild Leader of the Piece of Seven Guild of Bounty Hunters, one of the Shichibukai and a former **Marine Captain**. Due to not having a bounty on her head, the Rokushiki she uses, and the history with the Navy, May gained her epithet of the **Rogue Admiral** by the pirates and criminals she hunts down.

## ***History***

### **Background**

In the past May Nord was an idealistic navy officer who climbed the ranks diligently until she was placed under the command of Rear Admiral ???, who was in cahoots with Arlong and helping the pirate in subjugating islands in the East Blue for money. Unable to tolerate the injustice that her superior office was perpetuating May singlehandedly defeated the fishman pirates, liberated the people of east blue from their tyranny and reported her superior to the Marines. But not only did Rear Admiral ??? claim the fame for the incident, receive twice the value of the bounty for every pirate and receive a promotion to vice admiral, May Nord was demoted to the lowest of ranks for insubordination and sent to a marine base in the Calm Belts where she would never be able to rise up the ranks again due to nothing happening there.

Personally experiencing the sheer level of corruption within the Marines May became disillusioned, left the Navy in peaceful terms and began to hunt pirates all across the blues, grand line and even lately the New World with the skills she acquired as a marine. During this period she also invested her money to create a Guild of Bounty Hunters to help herself and others like her better pursue the criminals of the world.

## ***Abilities***

### **Attributes**

As a martial artist and experienced grand line sailor May Nord is a person of tremendous physical might, speed and endurance, being able to endure direct canon blasts, move faster than most creature and is capable of lifting houses and most ships with relative ease. All of May's attributes are typically superhuman as one would expect of a figure with enough renown, power and clout to earn the title of Shichibukai.

### **Rokushiki**

As a former navy officer May was taught how to use some Rokushiki techniques, notably because she was not a member of the Cypher Pools she is not privy to the existence of the 7th final art of Rokuogan. She is able to make use of all the basic techniques and can also use techniques exclusive to her due to her possession of the Jake Jake no Mi.

### **Haki**

As a former marine May is knowledgeable of the existence and in the use of both Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku haki, using both to complement her Rokushiki and devil fruit use.

### **Devil Fruit**

For more information see: Jake Jake no Mi
May Nord is the consumer of the Jake Jake no Mi which makes her a **Jacket Human**. Using this power May Nord has established herself as one of the trickiest and most powerful people to sail the Grand Line, having earned the ire of many pirates for capturing them, and the marines for upstaging them.

She uses her power alongside rokushiki to make her devil fruit abilities that much stronger and easier to use, in addition due to having **Awakened** her devil fruit May Nord is able to perform **Jūnihitoe** (十二単, 12 Layers) to impart the Jake Jake no Mi's effects to the people, objects and animals she envelops the effects of her devil fruit allowing her to double up on her devil fruit's effect and envelop twice as many entities.

### **Techniques**

* **Kami-e** (紙絵, Paper Drawing) - See Kami-e in One Piece Wiki.
	+ **Kami-e "Nureginu"** (紙絵「濡れ衣」, Paper Drawing "Wet Clothing") - A combination of Kami-e and the Jake Jake no Mi's effect where by applying Kami-e principles the user is capable of perfectly controlling their body's movement even while in jacket form allowing the user to completely overcome the weaknesses and limitations of the devil fruit. By using this technique May is able to force her devil fruit's effect to apply on unwilling targets, which she often uses to capture criminals until they can be delivered to the authorities. The technique name is a joke, since Nureginu (濡れ衣) can mean both Wet Clothing and the act of framing an innocent person.
	+ **Kami-e "Kaisuigi"** (紙絵「海水着」, Paper Drawing "Bathing Suit") - A combination of Kami-e and the Jake Jake no Mi's effect where by applying the Kami-e principles the user is capable of contorting their body to envelop some kind of structure and thus become able to manifest the abilities of this structure in a zoan-like fashion, in much the same way the user is able to use the abilities of a person wearing them with the Jake Jake no Mi. The technique name is a joke, since May primarily uses this ability on ships to gain some of their abilities. Notably May has used this technique to envelop **Thriller Bark** and is thus able to hybridize herself with all the weapons, establishments and structure of the island sized ship at will.
	+ **Kami-e "Nekokabburi"** (紙絵「猫被り」, Paper Drawing "Cat Cover/Wolf In Sheep's Clothing") - A combination of Kami-e and the Jake Jake no Mi's effect where by applying the Kami-e principles the user is capable of contorting their body to envelop an unwilling wild creature and thus become able to manifest the abilities of this creature in a zoan-like fashion, in much the same way the user is able to use the abilities of a person wearing them with the Jake Jake no Mi. The technique name is a joke, since May by default uses this fruit to possess an unsuspecting wild animal to confuse and conceal the true power of her devil fruit. Notably May uses this ability when she expects a serious combat situation to envelop **Sea Kings** and thus is able to partially hybridize into a Human-Sea King form.
		- **Kami-e "Minomushi"** (紙絵「蓑虫」, Paper Drawing "Bagworm") - A special variation of the **Kami-e "Nekokabburi"** where May will envelop a Den Den Mushi to gain access to the telepathic web linking every Den Den Mushi in the world and allow her to gain intel from this telepathic web which is typically inaccessible. By using this technique May was able to grow her Bounty Hunting business into the monolith it is today.
* **Tekkai** (鉄塊, Iron Body) - See Tekkai in One Piece Wiki.
	+ **Tekkai "Kōsokui"** (鉄塊「拘束衣」, Iron Body "Straitjacket") - A combination of Tekkai and the Jake Jake no Mi's effect where after having enveloped an unwilling target with the jacket effect the user will harden and constrict all their muscles, thus crushing the person wearing May.
	+ **Tekkai "Kusarikatabira"** (鉄塊「鎖帷子」, Iron Body "Chain mail") - A combination of Tekkai and the Jake Jake no Mi's effect where the user will harden their muscles so hard as to become as hard as iron while also becoming jacket like, allowing the user to gain the benefits of both Kami-e and Tekkai, negating any and all damage.
* **Geppo** (月歩, Moon Step) - See Geppo in One Piece Wiki.
* **Soru** (剃, Shave) - See Soru in One Piece Wiki.
* **Shigan** (指銃, Finger Gun) - See Shigan in One Piece Wiki.
* **Rankyaku** (嵐脚, Storm Leg) - See Rankyaku in One Piece Wiki.
