Hotel Noir

Hotel Noir is an organization led by Kenopsia Sonia, one of the current Shichibukai, and is currently affiliated with the World Government, formerly being an Underworld organization, though while its name has been changed, like Rapture, it still finds itself with a similar customer base. There are several structures that are labeled as "Hotel Noir," with three being based on a set of different islands on land, one being located within the capital of the Horon Empire, and one being a room on Sonia's Warship, **Angel's Kiss**.

Each of these building all connect to **The Borderlands**, which is a massive, potentially endless, liminal space that exists worldwide. Sonia's devil fruit ability allows her to seamlessly connect each of these buildings/entrances together to lead into the main lobby of the bulk of Hotel Noir, which is located on an unknown island somewhere in the New World. For reference, this is one of the three structures said to be on land, with the other two being located in Alysgard and Xerica, respectively.

The Hotel itself provides a variety of services, most often seeing jobs in bodyguarding and assassinations for jobs off of Hotel territory, with interior jobs featuring a range of different experiences by the Hotel Staff, ranging from Treasure Hunts into **The Borderlands**, to one of the best cinema experiences in the world, to "massages," and most desirably a transport service that spans the world and can deliver passengers to their destinations in amazing time. There are a number of employees inside the massive space that is Hotel Noir that provide this range of services, though most of the members at the top of the hierarchy, known as the **Gates**, are trained in combat over all else.

## Lyrics

It’s three o’clock

And there’s still no sign of you showing up

It’s three o’clock

I’ve been waiting so long

It’s three o’clock

You left me here alone

It’s three o’clock

This time I’m giving up

I’ve been sitting here

It’s getting near

I need to go

I’ve been missing you

I’m such a fool

I guess there’s me to blame

And the clock is ticking

And I’m just missing

What used to be

And the world is spinning

And I’m getting dizzy

I don’t think you’re gonna show up

It’s three o’clock

And there’s still no sign of you showing up

It’s three o’clock

I’ve been waiting so long

It’s three o’clock

You left me here alone

It’s three o’clock

This time I’m giving up

2:45

You said that I

Should come

But you made me wait

My mistake

I thought you wouldn’t lie

And I’ve gotta go

But I don’t know

Maybe I should wait

You keep me up

This isn’t love

I’m tired of you leaving me in the dust

It’s three o’clock

And there’s still no sign of you showing up

It’s three o’clock

I’ve been waiting so long

It’s three o’clock

You left me here alone

It’s three o’clock

This time I’m giving up

3:29 you pull up, and say,

“I’m so sorry.”

Your lame excuse

Won’t fool me this time

And you ask,

“What did I do to hurt you?”

And I said

It was three o’clock

There was still no sign of you showing up

It was three o’clock

I’ve been waiting so long

It was three o’clock

You left me here alone

It was three o’clock

This time I’m giving up

## Lyrics

You filled the hole of my sadness

But it's madness

To think I liked you that way

Take a deep breath as I walk by you

You're talkin' shit behind my back

But I don't care

I'm alone at last

Why should I listen to someone who doesn't want me to succeed?

You had me locked up

But now I'm freed

It's alright

She started the fight

You'll make it through the night alone

Oh life goes by so fast

Did you really think that we would last?

I'm alone

I'm alone at last

You talked me down when you were all mine

And it's crazy

The things that you would do

And you said our love was ordinary

But it was just temporary

Such a waste of time

I should've known better

Why should I listen to someone who doesn't want me to succeed?

You had me locked up

But now I'm freed

It's alright

She started the fight

You'll make it through the night alone

Oh life goes by so fast

Did you really think that we would last?

I'm alone

I'm alone at last

And I finally get why they said run, run, run

Loving you yeah, it was no fun

I lived my whole life in fear

I just need to get out of here yeah

It's alright

She started the fight

You'll make it through the night alone

Oh life goes by so fast

Did you really think that we would last?

I'm alone

Yeah I'm alone at last

It's alright

M-m-make it through the night alone

It's alright
Himi Himi no Mi

The Himi Himi no Mi is a Paramecia-type devil fruit that turns the user into an **Incorporeal** **Human.** The fruit grants the user of a spirit-like body, allowing them to hover and move around in the air as if they were swimming (though it still tires them just as swimming would), and allows them to make themselves partially or fully incorporeal.

## Etymology

'Himi' comes from the Japanese word 'hi jittai,' which can be shortened to hi mi, meaning false, or intangible

## Strengths and Weaknesses

The user of this fruit finds themselves able to become fully incorporeal, making them completely unaffected by material stimuli, however they likewise are unable to affect tangible matter when they are in this state. They can travel through tangible matter, however aside from a chill, things gone through will feel no adverse affects, this of course extends to attacking.

To effectively attack, the user must make the part of themselves they wish to attack with, or handle something to attack with, corporeal. Essentially, this means that part of them will always be vulnerable so long as they are attempting to attack with themselves, or utilizing an object to attack with, though this can be limited to just the area that the user wants to use.

For example, they could effectively wield a tangible sword by making their hand corporeal while the rest of their body stays incorporeal.

The user can also make non-living objects incorporeal, and while for smaller objects they simply need to touch them once and remain nearby for this to take effect, for larger objects continuous touch is required to maintain incorporeality on the object desired. The user can, however, disengage an incorporeal state from anything that they have made incorporeal instantly, and without necessity of touching it. Incorporeal objects function the same as the user in application.

The user cannot walk on the ground while in this state, however their "swimming" will always stand some feet above ground-level.

Seastone can affect the user when they are in an incorporeal state, as can seawater, however armament haki will only affect the user if the haki of the individual attacking the user is stronger than that of the incorporeal being.

Kiwa Kiwa no Mi

The Kiwa Kiwa no Mi is a Special Paramecia-type devil fruit that turns the user into a **Venus** **Human,** granting them the values of the planet, as well as as single aspect through which to emphasize the planet's power.

## Etymology

Ki comes from the Japanese word for Gold (Kin) , with the 'Ki' in 'Ki 'also being able to be read as 'metal', it allows for a translation of Venus being the "Metal-Rock"
Wa comes from the Japanese word for rock (Iwa)

## Strengths and Weaknesses

The Kiwa Kiwa no Mi allows the user to do manifest super-hot storms from within them.

The user also becomes extremely hot, and from within them exudes a thick, extremely hot cloud. Any who enter this cloud will find themselves subject to it's temperature, however it quickly dissipates the farther from the user it reaches. If one were to fully enter inside of it, it would become extremely hard for them to escape, the cloud acting as a thick blanket, entrapping them.

The user can create small spheres of this, then able to throw them at opponents. They will remain as spherical storms until either an outside force dissipates them, or if the user dispels them themself.

The storms can also be applied to or as projectiles, launching them from, for example, a bow. If the user were to launch a pure storm it's power and size would be reduced by distance, however if it was densely packed into the tip of an arrow it would remain true through it's flight. If the latter is done, the arrow upon impact would explode into a super-hot and thick cloud just as that which exudes from the user.

The clouds themselves are made up of sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and drops of sulfuric acid.
The obvious strength of a projectile would be to concentrate high levels of sulfuric acid into the storm, as it would sear to the touch and corrode metal.

There are two levels of Expansion of this fruit.

The first is that the user turns their body into that of the clouds that often surround, enshroud, and are produced by them. They become a more concentrated version of the clouds that often surround them, being easily scalding to the touch. Though, it makes it very hard to interact with objects, as they often corrode or burn easily when within the user's grasp in this state. The pressure of the user also becomes that of the planet Venus' atmosphere, at roughly 93 bar.

The second level of Expansion is qualified as a fruit awakening, and sees the space around the user become enshrouded, and become itself, a dense scalding atmosphere. The pressure also exudes into the world, making it incredibly hard to anything to move without intense pain, or a method to negate the introduction of massive pressure to the body. Yet, even if one could handle the pressure, to remain within the clouds would see intense heat and corrosion due to the sulfuric acid within as well.
Ai Ai no Mi

The Ai Ai no Mi is a Special Paramecia-type devil fruit that turns the user into an **Ichor** **Human.** The fruit allows the user to create and manipulate Ichor, a substance regarded as "Divine Blood," or "Pure Blood." It is generally golden in color, however it can also show itself as a bright, or crimson red as well. Alongside the creation and manipulation of ichor itself, the user is also able to 'purify' normal blood into ichor as well. In living things, this will cause a surge in the target's bodily functions, them finding themselves able to move much more naturally, and gain a large swatch of strength and stamina, alongside stronger regenerative power.
Diva Luna

She is a part of the music trio Aught 2 Know, one of the top bands in Svarga. As the most responsible and mature of it's three members, she takes on the role of the band's lead.
Ani Ani no Mi

The Ani Ani no Mi is a Paramecia-type devil fruit that turns the user into an **Animation** **Human.** The user of this fruit becomes able to animate non-living objects, able to implant sentience within them.

The user can give their newly animated beings simple commands, however there can only be a maximum of a certain amount of words per object, though they do not have to be used concurrently, or at the same time. These words can additionally be adjectives, or verbs by which the object must act upon. The amount of words and the complexity of intention a user can apply to an animated being depends on the user, and this number can be trained for to be increased.

The animated object will hold a level of subservience to the user so long as the user maintains at least one of these words, however once a user has used all seven words on an object, they no longer hold any ties to the user, becoming fully free.

Aside from forced commands, newly-sentient beings will take on personalities relevant to either their: appliance, if they are manmade and used to serve a function, or their experiences in the past as a non-living thing.

For example, if an iron was granted sentience, it might feel a tendency towards ironing things in any fashion, and if a rock was granted sentience, it might harbor feelings towards those who have thrown it.

Commands that are broad are often intertwined with the objects natural affinities and tendencies listed above, potentially swaying results of an intended function.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

The major drawback to this fruit is that if the user finds themselves using all seven words on an animated being, they run the risk of the being leaving them without a second thought, or even potentially turning on them. Additionally, while the user can use a command to kill a sentient creation, if they have used all their words they no longer hold any power over the thing.
Beku Beku no Mi

The **Beku Beku no Mi** (ベック・ベクのミ,Vector Vector Fruit) is a \Paramecia\-Type of Devil Fruit, Which allows the user to control and manipulate vectors. Making the user a **Vector Human** (進ベクターヒューマ, Bekutāhyūman).

## Etymology

* Beku comes from Bekuta meaning vector in Japanese

## Strengths & Weaknesses

There are many types of vectors, however the three most basic and distinguished are those of position, force, and velocity. These translate to something's location, speed, and strength & direction, allowing this fruit to essentially work as a defense mechanisms that deflects potentially harmful vectors from themselves.

## Ability Examples

**Regokinetic Combat:** The user manipulates their own vectors in combat to strengthen the force and acceleration of their attacks, reversing attacks from an opponent back at them, and/or potentially consciously directing the movement of projectiles.

**Vector Barrier:** The user utilizes the basic vectors near them, using them to reverse all inbound physical attacks back into the attacker. They could also potentially manipulate vectors allowing light to shine on them, making them invisible, however this would require training.

**Vector Defiance:** The user is able to defy vectors that should apply to them normally, redirecting energy targeting them, jumping from towering heights without a scratch when they hit the ground, or even defying torques, allowing freedom of rotation in movement and against targets as well.

## Trivia

This fruit has a very high skill cap, though the majority of its effects are not intuitive, and must be actively discovered by the user due to the sheer diversity in application possible.

After Yume herself, Hypna is regarded as one of the greatest assets of Aont Okorr not simply for her fighting ability, but for her devil fruit power which allows her to both alter her physical form, but more importantly enter the dreams of others from afar, even able to cause physical damage to others' bodies when within their dreams.

Originally from Fishman Island, Cul D. Sac is a half-fishman who has always been something of a fighter. He enjoys fighting, even though his face never shows it, and he enjoys above all else fighting for a cause. He has found this sense of belonging within the Riftwalkers, where he participates in the crew as both a scout and fighter, him having incredible skill as a swimmer and great eyesight as well.

Sac is proficient in Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki, renowned for the exquisite sharpness he can manifest on his signature scythe, which is a Wazamono blade named **Sameha**, which, when coated in Sac's Busoshoku, has been able to clash on even terms with blades of much higher renown, most notably Bai's **Rengoku**. His Kenbunshoku Haki mostly pertains to information accumulation, and he is able to magnify his senses via this, most often his hearing and sight via the technique **Kenbunshoku: Bairitsu**.

## Appearance

Sac has a skinny lithe figure, with long white hair and cold, dull eyes. He wears plain clothes, not caring for fashion and rather emphasizing practical use by equipping light gear to maximize his mobile efficiency. He does wear an iconic blue hat, it being a keepsake from his childhood.

**Baby Dragon** can also be situationally useful against some boards after turn 1 to take out Support characters in the back, and it does quite well against them, killing Mad Mim and Baby Root without taking any retaliation, and weakening the opponent's board. This is especially worth considering in early battles against Pup the Magic Dragon.

It can be invested in and supported to be able to take out other key backline threats later early in fights, like Bearded Vulture or Queen of Hearts, though it often needs some help to do so.

The major disadvantage of **Baby Dragon** is that it has almost no synergies. Besides Dragon Nest, which can be extremely effective in the early game, **Baby Dragon** doesn't fit into any major strategies, and it doesn't have a relevant character sub-type or alignment. As such, it loses a lot of it's power at level 3, and is almost never worth playing at level 4.
