Dakota

## Powers and Abilities

* **Solidly Monster Level Physical Prowess**

### Iron Dragon Slayer Magic

Dakota is a Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer, having obtained her Dragon Slayer Magic by consuming the flesh of several defeated Iron Dragons and bathing in their blood in a show of a spontaneous and uncontrolled Devil Fruit awakening when a gate spontaneously opened near her hometown. Gaining the epithet of **Dragon Slayer**, Dakota has demonstrated the ability to effectively transform her physical body into a Dragon, transforming her body with features of her specific element of iron. Dakota is completely immune to attacks made by any form of iron even if her own attacks are redirected at her, and she has demonstrated the ability to consume external sources of iron to replenish her strength, perfectly complimenting the creature of her Devil Fruit. However, Dakota cannot consume the elements she produces herself and these elements must be consumed through the mouth.

Dakota is also granted vastly keener senses than those of normal humans such as in smell, sight and hearing. Dakota can track individuals by their scent and as a result break through attempts at concealing one's presence that are not sufficiently holistic, being able to fight purely on any one sense alone, whether it be sight, hearing or smell. She also has considerable superhuman hearing, capable of listening on conversations and movements happening great distances away, as well as extremely attuned vision.

### Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Aggron

The **Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Aggron** is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows Dakota to transform into a metallic creature known as an Aggron. When accessing the power of her Devil Fruit, Dakota's physical abilities and attributes are dramatically augmented. Of the improvements to particular physical parameters, her sheer physical strength and overall endurance are perhaps the most remarkably magnified, capable of lifting a gargantuan number of times beyond her body weight even with her full transformation, and endlessly enduring vicious onslaughts from both physical and metaphysical attacks alike simply to proceed to retaliate with an even greater power through *Metal Burst.*

This Devil Fruit also grants Dakota the ability to project the extremely sharp and nigh-invulnerable horns of an Aggron. This enables her to effectively utilize this horn as a weapon to be blended in with her physical combat, headbutting and easily penetrating the densest of materials and individuals alike, skewering her opponents. She also gains claws of similar durability and cutting ability, which exponentially increases the power of her Ryusoken techniques. This Devil Fruit also grants Dakota the ability to eat and consume metal of both supernatural and mundane origin harmlessly, as metal is part of the natural diet of an Aggron.

Dakota's body is further enhanced with shock-absorbent structures, preventing any possibility of self-trauma from recoil of their more reckless physical attacks. Attacks that would usually be considered reckless and potentially injurious to Dakota do not hurt her in the slightest. This means Dakota simply never has to hold back from attacking in ways that could potentially hurt her, from running into and obliterating at full speed into supernaturally fortified walls with full force and weight, as well as headbutt even the most dense and supernaturally durable materials to bits. Dakota can throw punches with traditionally "bad form" harder than would be safe for her to normally, punches that would break every bone in a normal person's hand and mangle her joints without any damage to her arms themselves.

Dakota demonstrates the ability to utilize a few special abilities. These are:

* **Metal Burst:** Perhaps the greatest strength of this Devil Fruit, Dakota has demonstrated the ability to tap into her vast endurance when in command of this Devil Fruit's powers to tank and store the energy of the incoming attack of the opponent. While innocuous at first, Dakota can then retaliate with an attack (punch or homing blast of shrapnel) containing *1.5 times* the power of the initial attack she endured. This makes her *exceptionally* dangerous in close quarters combat, as every blow of her opponent can seemingly empower her physical attacks to new heights she would not be able to naturally attain herself. She still takes the damage that it would have dealt however.
* **Double Edge:** Dakota rushes at the opponent and tackles it with great force. While charging, Dakota leaves behind a silvery trail of energy and her skin momentarily turns gold before she charges at the opponent. As she charges, Dakota picks up incredible speed over time, greatly accelerating as she charges at her opponent. When at the heights of this charge, it becomes virtually impossible to halt her movement, running through layers of thickened steel, concrete, and massive boulders. Before coming into contact with her opponent, she becomes surrounded by a white aura and slams into the opponent with such immense force that despite her own endurance even she would normally feel the impact if her Devil Fruit didn't naturally negate the recoil of her physical attacks.
* **Heavy Slam:** Dakota jumps into the air with her arms crossed and then unfolds them as a silver aura surrounds her body. She then slams her body into her opponent while adopting the full weight of an Aggron, the force of her attack becoming significantly greater against smaller and/or lighter opponents, crushing them under her weight.

* **Metal Sound:** The two horns on Aggron's head starts to glow white and they move back and forth quickly, causing a loud ringing sound to be released. The horns then release light blue sound waves from them at her opponent or the given target material, lowering the effective durability in the face of her attacks. Anyone that hears the sound gets a loud ringing sound that echoes in their ears as well.

* **Roar:** Aron roars loudly, letting out a cyclone of sound waves from its mouth, causing rampaging Pokémon to calm down, and intimidating those around her often to the point of making lesser opponents feel the urge to immediately flee in fear.

Awakening

Dakota also has the ability to access a state of Devil Fruit mastery referred to as a Devil Fruit Awakening. When utilizing her Devil Fruit Awakening, Dakota demonstrates the ability to tap into the power of an advanced version of her respective creature. More specifically, Dakota has demonstrated the ability to transform into the evolved version of an Aggron, a **Mega Aggron**. When accessing the power of her awakening, Dakota's already colossal physical strength sees a tremendous amplification and she exhibits a level of endurance rapidly tending to if not sitting at nigh invulnerability. This becomes more obvious considers her already outstanding physical endurance and her accelerated regenerative healing factor when in this state to stitch her up should she manage to be damaged.

As a result of having this Awakening however, even when Dakota is not actively in this state, Dakota possesses a dramatically accelerated recovery rate. The acceleration to her regenerative healing factor is in fact only one aspect of this ability, but as an Awakened Zoan Devil Fruit User, Dakota gains a much faster recovery rate on virtually all fronts, from injuries to curses to sicknesses and even including exhaustion. This fact enables Dakota to appear to fight almost endlessly if she is given brief respite between conflicts, as her stamina simply comes back to her much faster than the average person.
