### History

Ryba D. Ben was born into poverty in the Fishman district of Fishman Island. He was orphaned at an early age and raised mostly by his friends Malikai, Jakuma, and Kaleo, among others. His friends were trained fighters and shipwrights. From this he gained experience in building and engineering ships. Being surrounded by fighters inspired him to one day pick up a sword, that being the Blade of Red which stuck with him his whole life. He became an exceptional swordsman at an early age, through training. By the age of 10, he was strong enough to keep up with his counterparts several fold his age. One day, he, Malikai, Jakuma, Kaleo, and some other fishmen and merfolk were captured from the island and sold into slavery in the Human Auctioning House to the Celestial Dragons. They were taken to Mariejois where they had to work for the World Nobles. The pain in everything they did was brutal. They were beaten severely if jobs done weren’t adequate enough. The experience traumatized him and his friends so much to the point where they had to find a way to escape. The smartest among them, Ramiro, organized the plan of escape one night after everyone’s tasks were done for the day. The next day they executed the plan, and Ben himself was the only one to escape. His friends were beaten and shot. Ben was lost, in his mind and in the world. In a last ditch effort to get away from the place in which he was, he hid inside a crate which was a part of cargo moving to the North Blue. After a long process of several months, he reached the land in which the cargo was moving to. This place was Swallow Island. He lived on the island as a mercenary for many months until he met Raimudebiru D. Rodd and became the shipwright for the Undead Cavalry Pirates.

### Abilities and Powers

Naturally being born as a fishman on base gives him 5x as much strength as a normal human would have and on top of that actively trains to become stronger and would be considered at superhuman standards for fishmen very early in the series.During just the North Blue saga of the story,Ben didn’t have much trouble keeping up with foes power wise and only fell behind in the terms of skills and battle experience.Ben’s speed in comparison to characters like mykul isn’t special but he doesn’t fall behind and is still faster then the average man by a margin.One of Ben’s best physical traits shown throughout the whole series though is his endurance. Ben has shown on multiple occasions that he can take a lot of damage and stay standing during battle shown very early on with his 2v1 against Kidd and Killer to buy time for mykul and Rodd and shown later in his group battle against the KingZector Mecha in CogHaven, not falling down even though the mecha was solely focusing all attacks on him. Ever since the beginning of the series Ben has shown his skill with the sword. Throughout the North Blue saga he has used a One Sword Style to fight enemies and proved to be quite skilled in it. Upon entry to the Grand Line,Ben has picked up a secondary sword for himself and shifted his skills into the Two Sword Style that has proved to make a massive difference in his strength shown during his first showcase during the Resort Island Arc. During the Baroque Works Infiltration arc, Ben comes into contact with a cursed sword containing the soul of a lively Oni and with this blade his power increases significantly as shown when he splits a medium sized ship into two aswell as when he snapped Arashi’s katana with a single swing of this blade. After the events of the G-3 Arc, on Kaiser’s Ship Ben meets with Kaiser’s 1st Commander “Battle God” Bishamonten who upon taking a liking to Ben trains him on the basics of Armament Haki. After Learning Haki at first Ben could only muster the strength for it once a day but continues to train it non the less adding an extra edge of power to his slashes. Finally as Ben is of the FishMan race he is quite strong on land but when in water he gets a massive boost to all the traits described before that can allow him incredible feats such as chasing the Bird carrying Captain Aimer across the sea for 8 hours before passing out from exhaustion. In the World Smash Tournament arc Ben uses the energy steroids he obtained from Bruhe 2 arcs back for the first time. By taking two at once he significantly bulks up and his skin’s purple turns a few shades darker while he eyes glow red. In this state Ben becomes noticeable stronger and more durable aswell as increasing his endurance allowing him to fight at full power even though he was weakened when he took the pills, this transformation has been dubbed “Roid Rage”.

### Techniques

One-Sword-Style

* Red Cleave: Ben’s original go-to move that is a simple but powerful 2 slashes done with blinding speed (2 damage Rolls)

* Whirlpool: An attack in which ben positions his blade high and spins while moving it down slashing all sides and nearby opponents in melee range

Two-Sword-Style

* Stingray: an upgraded version of “Red Cleave” now done with 2 swords to simplify the process (+5 mod to damage)
* Coffin Nail: Ben places his swords in front of him and leaps forward while spinning rapidly resembling a drill to pierce into the target (1 +6 mod roll that cannot be blocked and does double damage if target has higher health)
* Diaz Razor:Ben puts his blades to each side and gets into a stance concentrating for a moment before charging forward and spinning like a top to dice his opponent with full force and this attack can be augmented with Haki but trains Ben’s stamina if used this way (1 Turn charge time with 4 damage rolls and if used with Haki can only be used once a day)
