Charlotte Arc

Charlotte Arc, or better known by her alias of "Freedom Flash", is the second strongest Yonko and captain of the Freedom Reign Pirates. Though her demeanor is kind and her face is bright and welcoming, she is known for her ability to make strong allies, and to deliver finishing blows that rival the stature of mountains and can reach over canyons. Though not the strongest, she is feared and adored by too many pirates to count.

Charlotte is a gentle soul, wanting to help others in need and appealing to the 'little people' so that they can feel strong in their own ability. She always stands up for the weak, and is able to put her life on the line for any person that would be considered alive. She is prime to argue with other who talk out of line or make judgements of others, but she is slow to fight and always looks for ways out of combat, though this doesn't mean she is to step down for what she believes in, she has a strong spirit and will be the first to protect what is dear to her, and her sense of justice.

Though she is known for her heroic actions, the amount of battles she's had to endure is beyond most fighters likelihood. Being the owner of amazing hand-to-hand combat, exceptional swordsmanship, and the owner of the Light Logia fruit, she is feared for her ability in combat and her her overwhelming power in one-on-one confrontations. Her most frightening feat is to have fought both of the lowest ranking Admiral's: Mako Anya and Tokuda Aoki, it ended in a draw both and all parties were out of breathe by the end of it. But Charlotte made the comment, "If i were to fight Jishen, he'd kill me for sure", showing the gap in strength even the second strongest Yonko has with the fleet admiral. She is also highly wanted for conspiring many times with the Revolutionary Army, showing she treats them as an ally and revealing to be a bigger threat to the Marines. Ownership of 6 different of islands has also made Charlotte highly problematic, she is known for protecting them, going as far to send her crew to several of those islands in peril on short notice or just for recon.

## Biography

Charlotte was raised on the small island of Baterilla, where her mother died after giving birth to her. Though most parties would call it the work of a beast, killing her mother, the nun's aiding her birth told of it as a gift, that her mother would watch her in life and simply wanted to be with her, closer than any one soul could imagine. This was then gifted, her father was leaving for a overseas trip, giving full custody of his daughter to the coven, making her a nun, blessing her with a peaceful life. One that would last a lifetime.

She grew up with many friends, always settling disputes and keeping the peace to be as good a girl as she could. She respected her customs and loved life and every moment that it offered her. Through this though, she was pronounced quite gullible and air-headed, not understanding much and allowing many things to go over her head. The elders scorned her and told her that if she didn't fix that it would later become an issue for her. She tried her best, but to no avail things had to change for her to really change such a thing.

One night while bringing clean sheets back to the main hall, Charlotte was met with a strange man, dressed in a rouge suit wearing a top hat, and adorned with a white mask that was constantly set in a smile. She approached him, "Uh, excuse me, sir? I'm not supposed to be talking to you, but i do have to wonder what you're doing in this area seemingly alone? As far as I know, only women are allowed here.." He let out a breathe of air after a chuckle, "Oh, I'm so sorry to have slowed down your trip back to the main hall ma'am, but I'm someone of no concern.. Though, i did come here to give a gift" Charlotte perked up, "A gift?? The high priestesses are in the main hall, if you've come with an offering i can take you-" The man put up his hand, stopping her speech, "Oh, no, no gift for them, they're not worthy of the time i have here.. This gift i speak of is for you, Charlotte." She tensed up, taking a step back, "For me? How do you know me? We've never met.." He laughed again, "I've known you since I was tasked with giving this gift.. It's for you. A fruit, one that is delicious." She looked him up and down, seeing him as quite dapper, but also mysterious. She takes the fruit from his hands and sets down her laundry. "This wouldn't be a fruit from any tree of the knowledge of good and evil would it?" she joked, he laughed alone with her as she took a bit, swallowing and then spitting some of it out, "Augh.. That's.. Not good at all.." The man then smiled even beneath his mask, "Oh, believe me, it's quite delicious.. Powerfully delicious.." Her eyes widened, seeing light form around her body, and taking it over in a sense. She began to scream and ache as the fruit took hold of her body, but with it's reaction it began to expend energy, growing more and more until the light had consumed the whole surface of the island, and then in an instant it was gone. Baterilla was simply a rock with a surface above the water. Charlotte lay there, in shock of what had happened as the masked man walked away in her eye-sight, laughing to himself before he disappeared.

Charlotte spent countless days and night laying there, growing weaker and more in pain due to the lack of food and clean water now produced on the island. One day a prisoner cruise ship of the marines had came to shore, scanning the island for survivors since they didn't know what had happened. They eventually came a crossed Charlotte and helped her onto their ship, giving her food and water, transporting her to an island that a friend of hers was located. Though while on this ship she was met with one of the prisoners onboard during the night, his name was Hesh, a man of only 45, gruff and huge in stature. They talked about where they were and why he was in here, he was on his way to Impel Down to be locked up. She saw how kind this man was, and that his spirit was unyielding and strong. She vowed to not be like his captors (and would sneak him and the rest if the prisoners food from then on).

Years had passed after Charlotte was dropped off onto her island, from then on she decided the life for her was the life of a pirate. Training in combat with her hands and with the blade, eventually coming to terms with her ability of light and learning to control it. As she set out onto the seas, she made an enemy of the marines as they had made captors of such good yet rowdy people. She skyrocketed through the ranks and made a supreme name for herself, becoming one of the 4 Yonko of the Sea. She was vigilant in collecting a crew of many different kinds of pirate foot soldiers, and a grand boat of steel to let them travel. With her though was her greatest crew, The World's Strongest Swordsman - Zora Three-Piece, A gruff old man who is a master of the fist - Hizama Neyo, A young prince and master archer with the fruit of a snake - Calin Muut, And a specialist lance user with the mythical Zoan fruit of the Lleviathan - Denif Luccio. They are her closest friends and strongest allies, being the amazing band of Freedom Reign Pirates.

Charlotte's dream is to make this world a peaceful one, no matter how much of her body is destroyed, her dream is to save as many lives as she can, no matter her battle or circumstance.
