## History

*In order to comprehend the pure melancholy that was the backstory of riku nobaki we must first look at his father. A marine Named sora nobaki. This man had learned of Conqueror haki and how to awaken it but unfortunately he was born without it and so he had no hope of attaining it. And so he thought of a very devious idea. The nobaki name needed some fame to it. And by then pirating was popular. Having a child that would grow up to become the pirate king or a warlord of the sea sounded like a fitting title for a nobaki and so now he just had to go by the means of doing it. H*

*E knew that there were billions of beings in this world and only a select few had such a power. And so he came to the conclusion that he needed to have many many many offspring in hopes of one. Just one would make it out the womb with conqueror haki. The biggest problem with this is that Sora was single yet had decent looks and good charisma. And so what was his solution to this speed bump? Use his Charisma and charm and power to go from island to island. And meet a different single woman and use them to create his army. He used this technique to have ample  children. That way he needed trauma to awaken them but for that he had to wait until they were old enough to contemplate what was happening. 10 years and 30 children later they were ready, the vast majority being abused or neglected by their parents. All that he cared about was that they were alive being well taken care of in the contract. If they killed his test subjects then they would be arrested and executed. He only needed them alive. Now is where riku comes in. Riku and kiku were fraternal twins, riku being 5 minutes older than kiku, kiku was female and riku, male. Sora really got a 2 for 1 special with that one as a child riku and kiku got their eyes blackened and tattoos over their face to symbolize crying darkness and a sequence of diamonds on their heads to symbolize wearing a crown. This was the instructions given by sora so that he could pick out his own from the crowd. It was very painful as no anesthetics were used in this process. And then he ordered all of the women. To bring them into what seemed to be an underground training facility deep within every single Child. All 30 were physically mentally or socially abused. They weren't husks, they were traumatized though. Which was the first red flag for sora. He thought at least one would kill their parents. No, unfortunately they were subject to brutal training. Riku was at the top of it all. He excelled in martial arts and swordsmanship whilst kiku struggled in all things but everyone had each other's backs. They were family and they loved one another even though they all came from different backgrounds. Once they were 8 all of them were invited to a graduation Ceremony in which their mothers were required to attend. Little did riku know that his life would be forever changed at this moment. The trained warriors were ready. Sora gave his speech to his Haki experiments, some even developing lesser forms of haki such as kiku’s observation haki and Riku’s Armament haki. They stood in 5 rows of 6 like soldiers and then all of a sudden the shot of a flint-knock pistol rang out and down fell one of the mothers and another rang out. And the mothers dropped like flies. There was no reaction, sora didn't take it into consideration that the experiments did not like their mothers considering what they put them through. And then with a sigh Sora said 3 words. “Fire at will” in his eyes the experiment was a failure and the kids were being killed to cut off loose ties. Hopefully one of them had conquered haki. Spoiler alert: nobody. Not even riku did even sora himself was smiting down his creations. He killed around 20 and the gunners killed 9 there was nothing they could do. Sora was like a demon. Killing many at a time and even slashing the stomach of kiku while fighting. It was like he could see the future. The screams of the Nobaki children rang out and the floor was coated in blood. A battered riku and a fatally wounded kiku escaped the facility. But they didn't get far. More specifically, kiku didn't. Her wound..was too great. He had lived with her, shed blood for her but couldn't save her life. She cried because she didn't want to die. It scared her so much. The look of fear on her face as her breaths became clustered and her last breaths..almost indecipherable “I'm cold..it hurts please don't leave me…” that was it. Her body went limp. And Kiku was dead.  Riku buries his sister. He was the lone survivor of the Nobaki massacre. And nobody knew nor cared. He roamed the streets. For 4 years. Begging and trying to do watever to get some berries. All he had was his normal uniform that he never put on. The hat kiku used to wear. And a standard nobaki family black katana(black color is just a finish and the black is just cosmetic}. Eventually saved up some money to buy a simple canoe. And that is all that he would traverse the waters with. Sora made it look like it was Riku’s fault and that was what was said as fact so with his past behind him He was on a mission. Kill his father and gain the soragami blade. Then make a name for his family in the right way and give the spirits of his fallen siblings peace, Especially kiku.*
