Weather Arts/Ogarashi

## Ogarashi

**Ogarashi** is Rayne's signature weapon, and one that consumed the Hoeru Hoeru no Mi, granting the weapon the advanced ability to manipulate the weather by channeling the Devil Fruit's power.

## Usage

The weapon **Ogarashi** was created at some point in the past but later given the properties of the Hoeru Hoeru no Mi thanks to a method invented by Dr. Vegapunk that allows inanimate objects to consume Devil Fruits. It resembles a Scythe and Bō that can be separated into four segments. One segment is the actual scythe blade, two segments are poles, and the last segment is the bottom of **Ogarashi** which has a small blade imbedded at the end. The weapon has showcased incredible durability, but its true power lies in its ability to completely alter the weather in its surroundings.

This weapon was first introduced as a means to allow the Olympian Dreamer Pirates to safely retreat upon their arrival on Clockship Island. However its ability as a weapon was not fully shown until the battle against the Kurogaru Pirates later that week on said island. **Ogarashi** is a Scythe with a length of 115 cm. The weapon is forged from a special type of alloy, giving it an otherworldly shimmer in the light. The blade itself is curved, with a single sharpened edge. The handle of the scythe is made from a plank of dark colored, polished, wood with a comfortable grip adorned with intricate silver filigree, which swirls and twists up the length of the handle and onto the base of the blade. Written on **Ogarashi**'s middle is the name "HANISH", likely in reference to the family name. There is a gem in the middle of the scythe that resembles a Devil Fruit inside of it.

Each piece of **Ogarashi** even when broken apart can create different properties and alter the weather accordingly, without being limited to one piece having a certain aspect of the weather. By swinging or moving the weapon in some way, the weapon will produce whatever Rayne wills it to produce. This allows for a multitude of combinations which, when put together, produce varied results and strong combinations. This allows Rayne to manipulate the weather to an extent through swings of her weapon. Each of these are called "**Weather Arts**".

## Basics

In order for any of the stronger techniques to be used, Rayne must first use **Ogarashi** to produce one of three bubbles of air. Each bubble has different weather altering properties, and are each significantly strong in their own right. However, with combinations and the knowledge Rayne has over the weather, she can release devastating combinations and do things that might seem impossible. The following are the three Basics required to use any of the greater techniques:

* **Weather Arts: Cool Breeze** (嵐の大鎌涼風気象芸術, *Arashi no Ōgama: Suzukaze Kishō Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Cool Breeze Meteorological Art"): By swinging either a piece of **Ogarashi** when it is separated or the entire weapon, Rayne unleashes a massive breeze of cold air that's potent enough to create the ideal temperature for mirages or drastically drop the surrounding temperature of the immediate area. It can also be used to fire off a single ball of cool air that when popped is strong enough to cause a small crater in the trunk of the tree when concentrated. Interestingly, its base properties are enough to push or lift a weight exceeding twice Rayne's own weight, or stop bullets. This technique was first used to ward off Kurogaru Pirates who were chasing her. This basic technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 2**.

* **Weather Arts: Heat Breeze** (嵐の大鎌熱風天気芸術, *Arashi no Ōgama: Neppū Tenki Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Heat Wind Meteorological Art"): By swinging either a piece of **Ogarashi** when it is separated or the entire weapon, Rayne unleashes a massive breeze of hot air that's powerful and potent enough to create the ideal temperature for a first-degree burn. It can also be used to fire off a single ball of hot air that when popped completely changes the surroundings in the immediate area to a much hotter temperature and unleash a strong current of air that can light materials on fire when concentrated. This technique was first used to fight against Kurogaru Pirates who were combatting her. This basic technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 2**.

* **Weather Arts: Thunder Breeze** (嵐の大鎌雷気象芸術, *Arashi no* *Ōgama: Kaminari Kishō Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Thunder Meteorological Art"): By swinging either a piece of **Ogarashi** when it is separated or the entire weapon, Rayne unleashes a massive current of electricity that's powerful and potent enough to send shocks throughout someone's body and temporarily stun them. It can also be used to create the ideal air conditions for static electricity and electrical currents to be used more effectively. This can also be used to fire off a single ball of electricity that when popped completely changes the surroundings in the immediate area to have a static and electrical current. This technique was first used to fight against Kurogaru Pirates who were combatting her. This basic technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 2**.

## Techniques

Despite the various problems associated with **Ogarashi**, Rayne has been able to use the basic techniques to create deadly combinations that have defeated countless enemies. Similarly, whenever it has been used it has left her opponents in shock. The following is a list of techniques used with this version of **Ogarashi**:

* **Weather Arts: Tornado** (嵐の大鎌竜巻気象芸術, *Arashi no* *Ōgama: Tatsumaki Kishō Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Tornado Meteorological Art"): This is by far Raynes' strongest technique with this version of **Ogarashi** but also one that requires the most preparation. To start, Rayne uses the **Weather Arts: Cool Breeze** to form a ball of cool air and shoot it into the sky. Then, Rayne uses the **Weather Arts: Heat Breeze** to form a ball of hot air and fire it into the sky directly at the cool air ball. The resulting conflicting temperatures release the balls in an explosion that quickly forms a tornado that shoots directly down above where the cold and heat balls were. The force of the Tornado is so powerful that it can rip apart clothes, uproot trees and pulverize rocks, and heavily damage people with ease. Similarly, it can disorientate them due to the high pressurized winds that shred up those consumed by it. The Tornado generated is only there for a very brief period of time, which is due to the perfect conditions for the Tornado being generated by techniques that temporarily change the climate. This technique was first used to defeat Kurogaru Pirates. This technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 3**.

* **Weather Arts: Flight** (嵐の大鎌飛行気象芸術, *Arashi no* *Ōgama: Tatsumaki Kishō Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Flying Meteorological Art"): By swinging **Ogarashi** repeatedly to release **Weather Arts: Cold Breeze** directly under her repeatedly, Rayne manipulates the surrounding air enough to uplift her and allow her faster travel. This technique was first used prior to a **Weather Arts: Heat Breeze** against Bukwin when she was fighting with Pancho. This technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Weather Arts: Cyclone Slicer** (嵐の大鎌疾風スライス気象芸術, *Arashi no* *Ōgama: Hayate Suraisu Kishō Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Gale Slice Meteorological Art"): To start, Rayne uses the **Weather Arts: Cool Breeze** to form a ball of cool air and shoot it into the sky. Then, Rayne uses the **Weather Arts: Heat Breeze** to form a ball of hot air and fire it into the sky directly at the cool air ball. Rayne begins rapidly repeating this process while spinning **Ogarashi**, firing off several into the air as they pop and create dark clouds. She then swings **Ogarashi** again, causing winds to come down as she shapes them into scythe like winds. With this, she swings **Ogarashi** to cause the winds to come down toward her target. The winds are made compact and pressurized, able to cause significant damage. This technique was first used against Bukwin in an attempt to take him out, though the man did end up dodging the attack. This technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Weather Arts: Cool Breeze Push** (嵐の大鎌涼風投げ気象芸術, *Arashi no* *Ōgama: Suzukaze Nage Kishō Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Cool Breeze Throwing Meteorological Art"): Rayne executes this technique by swinging **Ogarashi** lightly and forming a bubble of Cold Air with the **Weather Arts: Cool Breeze** directly above the tip of the weapon. Then, she swings it one more time to form a smaller bubble of Cold Air that results in both bubbles popping. This results in a force of cold concentrated wind unleashed with a lot more power than usual. This technique is so concentrated it can throw someone back a marginable distance though seems unable to inflict vast damage, if at all. This technique was first used against Bukwin, who had blocked it with a shield but was still sent back. Though, there didn't seem any notable damage on him thanks to blocking the blow. This technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 1**.

* **Weather Arts: Mirage** (嵐の大鎌蜃気楼気象芸術, *Arashi no* *Ōgama: Shinkirō Kishō Geijutsu*, literally meaning "Storm Scythe Mirage Meteorological Art"): After using **Weather Arts: Cool Breeze** a few times, Rayne is able to change the air density and temperature enough to cause light refraction. In doing so, she's able to disappear and create an illusionary copy of herself, otherwise known as a mirage. The Mirage works so quickly that despite her opponent having a speed advantage, she's able to come out of attacks with minimal to no damage as long as the temperature and air density for this technique has already been met. This technique was first used as a counter to Bukwin's Torpedo Bullet Storm attack, allowing her to get the jump on him and evade the attack. This technique with this version of the weapon is considered **Stage 1**.
