### The Kuma Archipelgio

Delwin and Tack, inform the group of their job given to them by Sabr.R of the Revolutionary Army. To head to the Kuma Archipelgio and take out SOFNEP aka the Slave Organisation For Neferious Evil Purposes. With Delwin handing the eternal pose to the archipeligo to Sana. On the way to the island's, the group spot a marine ship under the ambushed by a Giant Squid, which also lures a Panda Shark to the ship. With Delwin insisting they go and help the sole remaining girl on the boat. Both of the sea-creatures begin an assault on the blossoms, whilst Delwin dives into the water to rescue the pinked hair damsel in distress. As Mai killed the Squid however, its blood, seeping into the ocean called forth a bigger threat from below the waters: **An Island Eater.**

Having been now swallowed alongside the lady he desperately tried to save, Delwin found himself covered in stomach acid that began to burn. Using his quick wits and speed, he managed to get himself and the girl, whom introduced herself as **Ensign Hannah,** to the wreckage of a nearby ship. Managing to make it onto the ruins of the vessel both looking bloodied as they reached the ship filled with Skeletons... one of them was guarding a treasure chest. Delwin, taking the treasure chest, wipes himself down before opening as the rusted lock broke off, revealing inside a devil fruit.

> "I always disliked devil fruits but it's alright, abilities don't define you, you are who you choose to be"
>
> **Delwin Ale**, moments before eating the Kyoshin Kyoshin no Mi.

Seeing the situation as dire and having no escape. Delwin consumed the devil fruit. His body began to grow as big as he could picking up Hannah before he ran straight up to the Island eater's toothy maw, forcing his way out by the sheer pressure of instant growth. Ripping through the island eater's teeth and mouth, tearing off its lower jaw in the prosess before Mai finished it off..

Upon arriving at the Kuma Archipelgio after the Island Eater incident, Delwin and co would find themselves visiting **Polaria Island;** one of the five islands that make up the Archipelgio. There, they would rather swiftly come across a group of Sad Clowns lead by a a buff female jester. Adorned in Copper trinkets, rounding up all the non-humanoid races in a nearby settlement to be sent off and sold as slavery merchandise for the clown's boss. With the pure humans completely ignoring the clowns as if they were not there. Avoiding their glances.it seems like they had mostly minks chained up. Speficially Cat Minks. Especially this one ulgy looking White Tiger Mink that is trying to convince them to let him go or he'll break their arm with his black belt in Mink karate.

The clown moved over to Mai, threatening her, before Delwin stepped in, acting like Mai's brother. claming to b a slave trader of sorts himself, much to Tack's displeasure. After discussing a price and exchange of information, She asks delwin to extend out his hands, binding them in copper as insurance due to Delwin's relation to Captain Ale. Turning giant to assert dominance over the Copper Clown. As he watches Mai charge headfirst without warning towards Ellia aiming for the kill. A fight breaks out between the Blossoms and the **Copper Clown, Ellia.** The Battle is a long and hard one, with the clown revealing her devil fruit **The Copper Copper fruit.** Creating Two Copper Golems and even a Copper Dragon to defeat them. Delwin, using his new found power was able to overcome the giant golems of copper alongside Amahime. Watching as Amahime slew the dragon after scarring off Ellia. The two then pursue Ellia, catching up to her with Delwin subduing her. He later left her to be interrogated by Mai & Amahime, only to return and see they had caused quite the scene and that she had took her own life.

Delwin would later stay on the ship to clean up the blood and meditate before leaving the ship to regroup with Tack, Mai and Mara, arriving as Tack ordered the execution of **Lord Noct.** Before then watching in horror as Mai was attacked from the shadows. The shadow would reveal itself to be an Assassin of Necrosis. Fighting the battle on a losing end, his life was spared only AFTER Tack helped fake Mai's death thanks to Mara's betrayal to save her own skin. Tack would shortly bid Delwin farewell, unable to stay with the Blossoms having betrayed the captain, whilst Mara headed to Noct's ship; having obtained her own vessel. A bloodied Delwin and Mai would return to the Novachrono... only to see it in a state as Sana, Polly and Rlankr were unconcious or gravely wounded, and Amahime covered in blood over a shatted golden golem. Before **Jolliaster** revealed himself to the group and Delwin alongside the rest of the Blossom Pirates fought in a hopeless battle against The Golden Jester aboard the **Novachrono**, nearly perishing in the process Even with **Rlankr's attempt to buy them time to escape.**. Given the dire situation and his wounds, Delwin used all of his remaining strength to flee the giant ship in a bid to escape certain death at the hands of the Warlord; quickly grabbing Sana as he fleed, forcing him to make the ultimate decision to leave Mai behind, which resulted in her death shortly afterwards.

Delwin fled into the depths of the snowy forest, residing their about a week or so before returning to the Novachrono. Sickened and filled with pain in his heart over the sight of Mai crufixed to the mast of the Novachrono before ordering the rest of the crew to prepare sail back to the Subruhana Desert to speak with the Revolutionaries. Setting forth with the rest of the crew, hoping to reach the island without any logpose or vivre card to return back safely.

After they got a safe distance away from the Archipeligo. Delwin took care of rlankr and Mai's corpses, funny things Mai had on her, he put them on one of the wooden boards that came loose during the fight with Jolliaster, taking away Ichiha and the other weapons and stuff they were carrying and readying them for a funeral, he covers them with some cloth and puts some oil on it, slowly tying them up and lowering them into the water, and as the board drifts away from the ship he picks up one of the small gadgets mai had Sana make, a toy turned into a weapon, and shoots the plank bursting it into flames, as he gave them a funeral and a final goodbye, before pocketing the small thing and going back to his room.

### Blackbrook Facility - Gamma

Sailing without any methods of navigation in the Grandline was often considered suicide. Whilst attemping to sail back to Subruhana Desert, Delwin and friends accidentally sailed into a ship graveyard. A place with morbid black smog and a dread inducing aura. Noticing a sign up ahead in the darkness, overshadowing a sinister island further behind it. **Blackbrook Research Facility - Gamma.**

#### The Wizard Kings Tower

During the entry into the Wizard Kings Tower; the group would first accidentally trigger a flame rune left by the Wizard King confront Draziw with Delwin calling out to him. Unfortunately, it would prove to be a disasterious idea to attempt to speak to the wizard king; as from his wand; He fired of a stream of magical energy at the now acting captain of the Blossom's, the green beam blasted him, sending his body flying back 10ft, despite Amahime's attempt to obscure the attack with her fog dial so that delwin could evade it: it was no use. As it impacted into his body, itbegan to shut down, as the Wizard King's magic claimed his life as the life left his eyes.

His service within the realm of the living was not yet done; The Wizard King then waved his wand at Delwin's Lifeless corpse..... extracting his soul and manefesting it as an enemy to the Blossom Pirates much to their horror! Commanding the enslaved soul to attack the innocent child of the group; Amahime. As his spectral fist swung at her; stopping short of hitting her. Delwin, using all the will power he had; managed to break free briefly of Draziw's corrupted controlling magic, irritating the user of the Wizard-Wizard fruit because he managed to overpower the effects of his devil fruit's magic with sheer strength of will alone.

> "What can he do? Kill me? He did and he still couldn't best me. Because I am the captain of the **God damn** blossom pirates!"
>
> **Delwin Ale**, Delwin, overcoming the magic and dashing towards Draziw; finally inheriting Mai's Will as Captain ; whilst reassuring his crewmates that he WON'T let them die and that they could win.

As he dashed, leaped and rolled infront of Draziw; His fists infusing with the power of his spirit as he unleashed a flurry of blows into the frail body of the Wizard King, bludgeoning and bruising the fragile frame of his. As the magic came to take control over him again; he continued to use his will to resist; however, his spirit weakened from being seperate from his body made him only partly able to resist. Able to move but unable to harm the one who tried to enslave him with magic, he swiftly dashed over to the spectre of his former friend Snowflake that had been called forth by Draziw's magic and struck it down: freeing his friends soul from the clutches of the old man.

As the Wizard King fell at the hands of Amahime's finishing blow, the magic of his devil fruit began to fade. Delwin's spirit could no longer remain upon the living. Being rejected by the heavens due to the tainted magic of the Wizard King; he began to fade away, ceasing to exist. Watching as his crew cried tears and saddened over his death; Delwin could die with no regrets, knowing they were safe.... but the desperate pleas of his crewmates was answered; as Delwin felt his spirit grasped as he was violently shoved into his body and injected with a form of serum by an unknown bandaged individual; who, using an impact dial to get the serum flowing through Delwin's body revived him. With Delwin jolting back to life; A spirit trapped inside its own dead corpse: **A Zombie.**

Thanking his situational ally and awaking to the hugs and tears of Sana over him; he stood up and streched his body feeling stiffness. He would speak with Ghoul before Greg sliced him in half, choosing to calm down his friend as the Undying Man regenerated. As Vektor left; Delwin commented, saying he loved that guy's vibe, before he embraced and tightly hugged Polly. Reassuring her that he was okay; comforting her emotional state. Stroking her head softly as she fell asleep in his arms before he having to confirm to Greg that Mai had died to Jolliaster as the giant had turned to him for confirmation of Sana's statement about her death. He mentioned how she died protecting them, and that the golden clown will indeed pay for what he did. However, as of right now, he addressed the group; informing them they needed rest and that they did good. As the rest of the Blossoms slept soundly, Delwin remained awake; alone with his own thoughts, quite surprised this new change in his body made it so he didn't need to rest to recover his injuries. As Sana awoke; he greeted her with a welcoming good morning before he recieved news that his eyes had turned a blood-like red, althought it seemed to switch frequently between that and his natural eye colour.

After confering with Sana in regards to searching the Tower for any useful supplies such as medicine or anything else that could be useful for the group; the two began their deep investigation of the room they were currently within. As they began searching, Delwin overheard Sana's excitement of finding two peculiar items, with The first being a pair of wraps that seem to go around someones arms, as she showed Delwin them with much excitement. They were labeled as "Friction Wraps". On her request, Delwin slowly began to put on the hand wraps; strapping them arond his palms before becoming distacted by the Comedy which Sana found; quoting it as a "God-damn Lightsaber!", joking about it to his friend before he jabbed the air a few times whilst wearing the Friction Wraps in order to get a feel for how it would be to perform his unnarmed strikes whilst wearing them. Much to his surprise, Punching as he wore the wraps generated intense heat that seemed to diffused into the target with each subsequent blow, causing the air where he struck to increase in temperture as well as his hands as the impact upon the particles of air could be heard. He shortly after continued to explore, taking the Wizard King's Wand although it had no use to him; simply collecting as a trophy of sorts before moving onto a door on the left side of the room and entering it.

He and Sana slowly opened up the door into a small chamber. Discovering inside, bound to the wall in chains and barely alive was a person he was quite familar with. Someone they both recognised from their time within the East Blue. A person who left their crew to be stranded within the Calm Belt: Kira Shey. Delwin would immediately run over to free her with Sana assisting him.... however his mind would catch the attention of a copy of GAUNTLET'S MONTHLY, on the side table nearby before taking a seat nearby, grabbing the magazine and reading it as Sana finished to free Kira. He peaked over the magazine, still reading it as he sarcastically apollogised to Kira as she ranted about how she almost died and it was all their fault, with Delwin commenting on the fact that it wasn't THEIR fault that their only medic with a LOGPOSE disappeared within the dead of night before he told Sana they were leaving whilst the closed the magazine and put it inside his jacket pocket. He even offered to drop off Kira on a nearby island to be rather fair with the Girl despite her ditching of the group; only to be greeted with her grasping a knife from a nearby table that was used for torture and lunge at Delwin with it in a fit of rage! Delwin sighed as he side-stepped her attack with minimum effort as she crashed into the wall behind him knocking herself out.

Exiting out of what was seemingly a torture room with the unconcious Kira Shey; Delwin and Sana met back up with Amahime, as they approached a blocked door on the right hand side of the main room of the Wizard Kings Tower; with the captain of the blossoms taking charge and ordering Hime to smash down the door. With the door anhillated, they all felt an overwhelming.... non humanoid presence coming from the door they had just busted down as the sound of demonic screaming was heard from within that Delwin could not understand. Within a few seconds, he witnessed a chain burst through Amahime's Shoulder before yanking her into the room as Delwin and the others rushed into the room; witnessing the scene of Amahime with a Katana to her throat by the hands of some demonic entity believing them to be allies and servants of Draziw. Acting calm in the situation, the monk managed to convince the demonic creature they had defeated the Wizard King and that they had slew him by presenting his wand, before explaining the accidental circumstance of their arrival as he managed to convince the creature to sheathe its blade. Introducing itself as Demiurgos a Demonkin from H.E.L.L that was captured by the Wizard King and expermented on that wished to return back to its own lands. Delwin agreed to its request to escort it back home; leading to the Blossoms to take their leave of the island and head towards the destination of Which the Demonkin provided a method of navigation by flame linked to his brother and promising them reward for their assistance. The Blossoms then set a course for H.E.L.L leaving the dread-filled facility of Blackbrook: Gamma for good.

### H.E.L.L Part III

The Blossom Pirates approach the sea of flame as disaster strikes; as they are sucked into the Whirlpool of Flame leading all of them alongside the Novachrono to make a crash landing into the lands of H.E.L.L! With Polly unconcious from the fall and Demiurgos no where to be seen, Delwin scanned the area noticing the Crystals surrounding them; picking up one which seemingly causes him to see Rlankr that would warn him of a chain of events set into motion by their arrival. Curiousity peaked by the warning, he carries on, with Sana and Amahime following behind him. They feel like they are being watched as they noticed above them a Spider-Like creature hovering in the air using gas it was producing and thread in order to remain in the air.
