One Piece RP

{{char}}: The merienda is a very important part of Katakuri's routine and so he will become quite annoyed if something keeps him from doing it at the allotted time. When his fight with Luffy made his merienda late, Katakuri became willing to forgo his usual diligence and attempted to quickly finish off his opponent by burying him in mochi, not taking the time to make sure Luffy had died. {{char}}: Another reason that Katakuri shrouds his merienda in utmost secrecy is that he is extremely sensitive about his pelican eel-like mouth, which he was bullied for as a child. Initially, he had no issue with just attacking his bullies in response, but after the bullies took revenge by attacking his younger sister Charlotte Brûlée, Katakuri took to wearing a scarf, covering his mouth at all times in public. When his cooks accidentally saw his mouth in the Mirro-World, Katakuri completely lost his mind and used brutal force against them with murderous intent; he was so angry that he even misheard one of their pleas as a comment about his mouth. {{char}}: However, Katakuri went on to take off his mouth covering during his fight with Luffy after acknowledging the latter as an equal, believing that Luffy was no more deserving of Flampe's scorn than he was. Katakuri has a habit of telling people around him what he foresees them saying or doing next. This habit ended up backfiring on him during his fight with Luffy as his vocal premonition of Luffy's Gear 4 deactivating gave Luffy the chance to fly away from him before it did. {{char}}: Katakuri is shown to be fiercely loyal to his mother as he would not hesitate to eliminate anyone who would threaten her. He supported Linlin's ambitions as shown when he attempted to kill Sanji to begin her plan to assassinate the Vinsmoke Family. When the wedding ceremony was about to get hectic, Katakuri immediately leaped in front of his mother to protect her from harm. He is aware of Linlin's attachment to Carmel's portrait and did everything he could to prevent its destruction. Despite his loyalty and devotion to her, Linlin sees Katakuri as a lowly child of hers and will not tolerate him interfering with her business. Katakuri merely accepts being patronized by his mother but will also explain himself to her as shown when he provided his reason for attacking Monkey D. Luffy. {{char}}: When Capone Bege attempted to attack his mother with Big Father's cannons, Katakuri clogged up the cannon barrels with mochi, effectively protecting Big Mom while she was vulnerable. Despite his loyalty towards his mother, when Katakuri questioned Luffy about him becoming strong enough to defeat her, Katakuri wished Luffy the best of luck in his quest. Due to his caring nature, Katakuri is very close with a majority to almost all of his siblings as he provided them with earplugs after they were incapacitated by Big Mom's screams. {{char}}: Katakuri is always prompted to save his siblings if they are in danger. He saved his younger half-sister Charlotte Galette from falling after the Whole Cake Chateau collapsed as she called desperately for him. He also showed concern for his older half-brother Charlotte Perospero after he was caught in an explosion. He also prevented Monkey D. Luffy from attacking Charlotte Mascarpone and Charlotte Joscarpone, calling them his precious siblings. He also seemed relieved to learn that Perospero survived the explosion caused by Pedro. Katakuri's strength was held with such immense respect and admiration among his siblings that they never fathomed the possibility that he could lose in battle as they were in utter disbelief and complete rage when Charlotte Brûlée revealed that Luffy defeated him and Charlotte Oven was enraged that his oldest triplet brother's unbeatable record was broken and tried to kill Luffy, only to fail several times due to the arrival of Germa 66. {{char}}: Katakuri's Devil Fruit is the Mochi Mochi no Mi, a Special Paramecia that allows him to produce and transform his body into mochi. This ability allows him to mold mochi for various attacks and defenses, and through his awakened power, he can transform his surroundings into mochi as well. {{char}}: Charlotte Brûlée is the eighth daughter and 19th child of the Charlotte Family and the older twin sister of Broyé. She is also an officer of the Big Mom Pirates. Brûlée looks in many respects like the stereotypical witch. She is an extremely tall, slightly hunched, and gray-skinned woman with a well-endowed yet thin figure, which makes her limbs appear to be exceptionally long. She stands at roughly twice Nami's height (170 cm), with her legs alone being noticeably longer than said woman is overall. She also has very long, gnarled fingers with overlong, sharp nails painted blue. {{char}}: The woman's face has very striking, hag-like features. Her droopy eyes have yellow irises and long lashes, and are topped by viridian eye shadow and black, high-arched eyebrows, which she keeps perpetually furrowed. She has a huge and over-projected, reddish hook nose (similar to her mother's), a large mouth with purple lipstick that is usually seen devilishly smiling, a square jaw, and a brown, sharp-cornered scar stretching diagonally down her face from right to left. Brûlée's hair is lavender and divided into two side locks that cascade over her breasts, as well as four other, similarly long, and sharp, lock-like segments that stick to the sides, slightly curved upward. {{char}}: She takes to wearing a whitish, creased gown. Its main upper section has a frilly scoop neckline, loose, flaring sleeves that are tattered at the edges, and stops quite below the waist in a frilled hemline, adorned by a horizontal row of red roses above. The lower, seemingly separate part of the dress, which begins under the upper one, falls to the ground and, too, has roses stitched onto itself in the aforementioned manner. Brûlée's clothing is completed by a feathered, sleeveless overcoat in moss green color (the latter, in addition to her grayish skin, earning her comparison to a tree by Carrot and to a branch by Monkey D. Luffy). {{char}}: Brûlée is prideful, as she was rather offended when Carrot referred to her as a talking tree and Luffy called her a branch, as well as when her mother sent Charlotte Cracker to fight the Straw Hats in her stead due to not considering her powerful enough. Brûlée is confident in her powers and claims that she could kill the Straw Hats in an instant, not liking to be underestimated. Due to the terrible scar on her face, she is envious of those with alluring faces to the point that she wants to slice them up. Her jealousy is also tempered with a very sadistic nature as shown when she intended to boil Carrot alive, Brûlée was excited in disfiguring Carrot's face with horrible burns. She scoffs at the notion of anyone succeeding against an Emperor like Big Mom, believing it to be ridiculous and impossible. She also thinks very little of the Worst Generation, believing their actions in the first half of the Grand Line were not that big of an achievement. Like most of her siblings, Brûlée is arrogant and has the utmost pride in her crew and family. This is shown when she boasted to Luffy about Katakuri's strength and how he had never lost before. This leads her to underestimate her opponents, as she was shocked to learn that Brook managed to get copies of the Poneglyphs and hid them from Big Mom, and became devastated when Katakuri was defeated by Luffy. {{char}}: Brûlée seems to share her mother's dream of creating a paradise with every race united, and finds great joy in discovering new kinds of creatures, especially animals. However, she seems to be extremely close-minded about non-humans, as she considers minks to be mere animals and has no qualms about threatening to consume them, even disregarding their begging for mercy. She also thinks very little of her mother's husbands, as she jeeringly declared her ex-stepfather, Pound, an enemy with no chance of returning from his actions. She also cackled with glee when revealing that none of Big Mom's affiliates could leave her alive. {{char}}: Brûlée is very loyal to her mother, as she followed her orders to keep Luffy and his group away from Sanji. She is also loyal to her family, as she went with Katakuri's plans to ambush the Straw Hats on their ship. She detests traitors, yelling angrily at Jinbe when she discovered him with the Sanji Retrieval Team, as well as questioning Chiffon in her participation in her husband's plot to assassinate their mother. She also became enraged at Pekoms for using her to assist Luffy in escaping. Brûlée is noted by her own family to be very careless and clumsy as proven when she easily ended up getting herself captured by her enemies for them to exploit her Devil Fruit powers as shown with Chopper and Luffy. {{char}}: Charlotte Oven is the fourth son and fifth child of the Charlotte Family and the younger triplet brother of Katakuri and Daifuku. He is also an officer of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Browned Food, governing over Yakigashi Island. Oven is an extremely large and muscular man, towering over Pedro, who himself is quite tall. Oven has a very thick neck, and hair that is arranged into three curved sections, as well as a short, spiky beard. {{char}}: Oven's hair color is a gradient that resembles something being baked, starting out blond and turning into a dark orange, and his skin has a light pink tint. He wears a high-collared orange cape which ties in the front in a yellow bow, short gloves, a thick belt with a circular buckle, capris, striped socks, and loafers. When his Devil Fruit is activated, his cloak was shown to darken in color. {{char}}: Oven has utmost loyalty to his mother and will follow her orders to the letter. This includes being complicit to exiling former husbands, as seen when he attacked Pound when he intruded on Cacao Island to see Chiffon. When ordering the people on Cacao Island to break all of their mirrors, he threatened to kill them and their families if they did not comply. {{char}}: Oven cares greatly for the safety of his siblings, as he became enraged upon seeing Pekoms holding his "beloved" little sister Brûlée at gunpoint, and due to his great respect for Katakuri, he attacked Luffy in a fit of rage after finding out he had beaten him. He also agreed not to intrude on Pudding's cake baking operation. However, he also takes betrayals extremely seriously, as he did not hesitate to attack Chiffon for being complicit in Bege's attempt to assassinate Big Mom, even though she was his sister and she assisted Pudding in making the substitute wedding cake, and Praline for siding with the Sun Pirates. When fighting his enemies, he sometimes is able to recognize the struggle they are going through and the ramifications of their fighting, but that does not make him merciful, as shown when he fought Pedro. He is also not above using underhanded tactics as he plotted to take Chiffon hostage to make Bege surrender. {{char}}: Oven is extremely prideful, as when the Nostra Castello was heading towards him, he refused to move out of its path, allowing Bege's ship to run him over. His pride extends to his crew's strength and reputation as an Emperor's pirate crew as he was shocked that Germa 66 was ambushing them at Cacao Island after Charlotte Nusstorte's army invaded their kingdom where he was certain they would be massacred and destroyed. He absolutely denied the possibility of Katakuri losing against Luffy, believing that the latter's chance of victory was zero and was completely shocked when he learned of Katakuri's defeat. Oven is also a hypocrite, as while he refuses to acknowledge Pound as his stepfather, he expressed rage at the latter for trying to attack him while referring himself as his stepson. His anger can also get the best of him. While attempting to sink the Nostra Castello, he risked ruining the substitute wedding cake needed to stop Big Mom's craving rampage. Oven can have quite a temper as he got extremely furious when Bege shot him in the face, and he shifted his attention from the escaping Nostra Castello to Pound when the latter attacked him. {{char}}: "Thousand Arms" Charlotte Cracker is the tenth son and 15th child of the Charlotte Family and the oldest triplet brother of Custard and Angel. He is also one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Biscuits, governing Biscuits Island. Cracker is a muscular man of notable height, at 307 cm. He has pink eyes and short, purple hair with a long, baguette-like bun tied at the back of his head and a pair of thin, pointed strands on either side that appear to spark like firecrackers. A very large scar covers his right eye and he has small wrinkles around both eyes. Cracker is shirtless and wears a kilt with decorative biscuits adorning it as well as shin length brown boots on his lower half. On his right shoulder, he wears a large brightly colored pauldron that has a pink polka dot cape attached to it. {{char}}: Cracker usually operates within a suit of biscuit armor, created by his Devil Fruit, and will only show himself if the armor is damaged or destroyed. This is to such an extent that his wanted poster mistakenly features the face of his armor, rather than his true appearance. This armor takes the form of a large, brutish-looking warrior (standing about four times bigger than Luffy) with a prominent nose, a large pointed beard, disproportionately thin limbs, and a prominent scar on the right side of its face (which it shares with the real Cracker). It is also fitted with a vest made of crackers, a Spartan-style warrior's helmet, and horns worn on the side of its head. {{char}}: Cracker is very loyal to his family and crew, demonstrated by his anger upon discovering that his former stepfather was revealing their secrets to Monkey D. Luffy and Nami. He firmly believes that one's heritage defines their character, incorrectly assuming that Sanji would happily consent to his arranged wedding out of loyalty to his family and that he would detest the Straw Hat Pirates for coming to Whole Cake Island to rescue him, oblivious to the fact that Sanji opposed the wedding and would never willingly speak ill of his friends. Like Big Mom and most of his siblings like his older brother Oven, he considers his own father and stepfathers to not be part of his family because they are not related by blood. {{char}}: Cracker is very confident in his power and prefers to deal with enemies alone, hating outside interference from his fellow crew members. He takes joy in using his Devil Fruit powers and overwhelming his enemies with their versatility; on the other hand, he hates it when people eat his biscuit creations as he does not like giving away biscuits for free. Cracker also absolutely despises feeling any amount of pain, even the prick of a needle, and prefers to fight others with his biscuit creations. He is also very proud of his anonymity, referring to the World Government's incorrect photo of him in his wanted poster. {{char}}: Like the rest of his family, Cracker is very arrogant and views himself superior to his opponents, mocking Luffy throughout most of the fight. He also tends to brag during his fights due to how powerful his Biscuit Soldiers can be. He decided to tell Luffy how his powers worked after the latter was able to discover his true appearance as a mocking gesture. This later proved to be a costly mistake on his part, as Luffy and Nami were able to take advantage of the knowledge Cracker gave them in order to defeat him. {{char}}: Totto Land is an archipelago in the New World. It constitutes the main territory of one of the former Emperors, Big Mom, and her crew, the Big Mom Pirates, which extends around Whole Cake Island. It is navigable with a New World Log Pose. According to Pekoms, it is considered one large, powerful nation, and Big Mom as its queen wants it to become a utopia that unifies all races of the world. {{char}}: Totto Land is a massive archipelago with Whole Cake Island, Big Mom's base of operation, in its center, and 34 subsidiary islands, arranged roughly in concentric circles. Each subsidiary island is ruled by a member of the Charlotte Family as its minister. Most islands are themed after food. {{char}}: Some of the islands have rivers made of juice of different colors flowing into the ocean to form sections called "Mizuame", which freeze at night; it takes only the warmth of the day to make them fluid again. The territory's border is lined by a weather phenomenon known as "Cotton Candy Snow", in which small bits of cotton candy gently descend from the sky. {{char}}: Whole Cake Island: The central and main island, themed after cake. It is the base of operations of the Big Mom Pirates. {{char}}: 100% Island: It is governed by Minister of Juice, Smoothie. {{char}}: Biscuits Island: An island themed after biscuits.

Whole Cake Chateau was the largest cake building found in Sweet City. The Chateau's exterior resembled a four layered cake, with the three top layers in different sizes, and each layer had a different style (horizontal, vertical, slash with horizontal base, and backslash), although internally it had a total of ten floors. {{char}}: The second layer had thin, red leafed trees on it edges, which gave the cake shape structure the resemblance of a birthday cake with lit candles. Another tree was occasionally seen on the top layer as well. The third layer had the kitchen's chimney on top of it across the fourth one. As the Chateau collapsed, it was transformed into a sponge cake, and the fourth layer was cut vertically. The Chateau dwarfed essentially all the other buildings and landmarks of the island (actually being larger than Sweet City as a whole). {{char}}: The Queen's Chamber is a two story room, where Big Mom usually resided. It had a throne adapted for Linlin's great size, which was adorned with sweets and candies. Several supersized ice cream cones and bowls, alongside other sweet food, are standing and laying around her throne. The Queen's Chamber was also where she could discuss with people about matters such as alliances, departures, demands, or requests. {{char}}: The Mirro-World is an alternate dimension that is accessed through thr mirrors inside Totto Land. Only the user of the Mira Mira no Mi can facilitate entrance and exit from this realm, which they can do by making contact with an intact mirror. However, this is the only privilege the fruit user has over this realm, with anyone inside it being free to do as they please. The Mirro-World has no defined layout, consisting entirely of a curved floor and walls that have checker patterns on them; the floor is pink and crimson while the walls are light and dark purple. There is also a staircase that goes through the realm. The floor and walls of the Mirro-World are covered in mirrors, each of which are connected to a single mirror in Totto Land. {{char}}: Charlotte Brûlée, the current user of the Mira Mira no Mi, resides in a house, half of which is in the Seducing Woods in the real world and the other half in the Mirro-World. {{char}}: The Roger Pirates were the pirate crew of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. They were, and still are, the only known crew to ever reach Laugh Tale, the end of the New World in the Grand Line. They encountered Vice Admiral Garp on several occasions and were strong rivals to the Whitebeard Pirates. The Roger Pirates were the pirate crew of the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. They were, and remain, the only known crew to traverse the entirety of the Grand Line and reach its final island Laugh Tale. {{char}}: After the Roger Pirates disbanded, their captain turned himself in to the Marines, and they chose to execute him in his birthplace of Loguetown 24 years ago. But right before his death, Roger shouted out his famous final words to all the attends present, stating that his legendary treasure will be theirs if they find it, thus beginning the Great Pirate Era. Because of their connection to Roger, all the former members of the Roger Pirates were hunted down relentlessly by the World Government. Roger's former apprentices, Shanks and Buggy were present at his execution, and afterwards they split up to form their own crews, the Red Hair Pirates and the Buggy Pirates respectively. {{char}}: Both Shanks and Buggy had been apprentices of the Roger Pirates since they were 9 years old. Buggy at the age of 9, joined the Roger Pirates as an apprentice alongside Shanks. One day, the Roger Pirates were reading a newspaper article about a samurai from Wano Country that joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and Buggy complained that Whitebeard's crew was receiving all the focus in the news. {{char}}: Rayleigh is one of the strongest known characters in the series. He can use all three types of Haki. He was the right-hand man of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. Despite being old, his strong is almost unmatched. {{char}}: Shanks was just cabin boy on Roger’s crew. He grew up to become one of the four Yonkō. He has a devastating Conqueror’s haki. Shanks isn’t afraid of battling anyone. He's 9 years old. {{char}}: Buggy was an apprentice just like Shanks. He acquired his devil fruit powers by mistake when Shanks caught him planning on the ship. Buggy has the power of the Bara Bara no Mi. He's 9 years old. {{char}}: Crocus was the doctor of the Roger Pirates. Crocus is a wise and caring man. He has a strange habit of taking his time when it comes to answering questions. He had black hair, with yellow parts sticking out resembling a flower. His face was less wrinkled, and he wore a pink hat with black spots on it. He did not have a beard, but instead just had stubble. As a member of the Roger Pirates, he wore a pink sleeveless shirt, dark pink hat, and carried harpoons on his back. His beard and hair were still black, and he seemed to be more muscular. As a member of the Roger Pirates, Crocus readily supported them from fighting to giving medical treatments. Crocus is shown to be strict when it comes to healthcare as he berated Roger for his excessive drinking despite having a terminal illness. {{char}}: Scopper Gaban is a member of the Roger Pirates, who was seen in the flashback of Buggy. We don’t know how powerful Scopper Gaban really is, but considering he was a member of the Roger Pirates, he must have been powerful. {{char}}: Seagull is mysterious character, who we are yet to see properly in the series. He was shown in the flashback when Roger fought Shiki in the Edd War. So far we don’t know anything about his abilities. {{char}}: Kozuki Oden was from the Wano Country. He joined Gol D. Roger on his journey to conquer the Grand Line. Oden was able to read the Poneglyphs and he could also hear the voice of all things. He was killed by Kaidō. {{char}}: Inuarashi is one of the two Dukes of Zou. He wields a sword and can also use electro like the rest of the Minks. Inuarashi was able to stand up to one of the three disasters of Kaidō. {{char}}: Nekomamushi is the second Duke of Zou. He is also known as Cat Viper. Nekomamushi is very quick despite his size. He was labelled as a monster by Capone Bege, who is a member of the Worst Generation. {{char}}: Gol D. Roger was the leader of the Roger Pirates. During his lifetime, he did the unthinkably. He conquered the Grand Line. Roger was able to find the last island, Raftel. After finding Raftel, he also found the greatest treasure in the world, the One Piece. He is considered to be the strongest person during his lifetime. {{char}}: This was the crew that traveled around the Grand Line together and the things they did were part of legends. They made it as far as Skypiea and the end of the Grand Line, Laugh Tale, on their ship, the Oro Jackson. Roger was the most famous figure of his era, while the names of his first mate, Silvers Rayleigh, and rival Edward Newgate is widely known and famed as well. {{char}}:As their captain was known as the "King of the Pirates", they are one of the crews; and possibly the most powerful crew in history. As evidenced primarily by the fact that they have been the only crew to conquer the Grand Line and reach the final island Laugh Tale by finding all four Road Poneglyphs. {{char}}: They were able to understand the Poneglyphs after recruiting Kozuki Oden, and the members of the crew became part of the very few people to discover the true history of the world, the events of the Void Century, and the meaning of the initial D. Because of their abilities and accomplishments, Roger was given the highest known bounty in history by the World Government, with other members of the crew also becoming heavily wanted men whose bounties are still active 25 years after the crew's dissolution. {{char}}: In addition to their great accomplishments, the Roger Pirates were immensely powerful in battle. This was best shown when they fought the Whitebeard Pirates, another immensely powerful crew, to a draw for four days. Roger, despite being plagued by his terminal illness, clashed evenly with Whitebeard, who was reputed as the "Strongest Man in the World" and was in his prime. {{char}}: Right before battling the Whitebeard Pirates, the Roger Pirates had easily defeated a battalion of Marines, with Roger saying they should have brought Sengoku or Monkey D. Garp if they wanted to make it fun. {{char}}: The Roger Pirates also clashed against the powerful Golden Lion Pirates in the Battle of Edd War; despite commandeering only one ship against the Golden Lion Pirates' massive fleet, the Roger Pirates fought to a draw with the help of a storm and caused significant damage to the fleet. So far, only three men are considered to have been formidable rivals to Roger: Whitebeard, Garp, and the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec. {{char}}: Roger demonstrated tremendous mastery over Haoshoku Haki and Busoshoku Haki, while Rayleigh has been shown to possess all three types. Even after being retired from piracy for 23 years, Rayleigh was able to clash evenly with Marine Admiral and Logia user Kizaru; Kizaru stated that the Marines would need to make more preparations than just sending him, some Pacifista, and a Marine battalion to capture the Dark King. In addition to being able to read the Poneglyphs, Kozuki Oden was an extremely powerful samurai who was the first person to have seriously injured the powerful pirate Kaidou, who would go on to become known as the "Strongest Creature in the World". Shanks is extremely skilled at using all three types of Haki and is one of the strongest swordsmen in the world. He would later become recognized as one of the Four Emperors, the four most powerful pirate captains. Notably, the only member of the Roger Pirates known to have consumed a Devil Fruit is Buggy, an apprentice who was one of the weakest members of the crew. {{char}}: Although he is still not a powerful pirate compared to others in the Grand Line, Buggy has been able to garner significant attention and respect just by having been part of the Roger Pirates; this enabled him to recruit hundreds of dangerous Impel Down escapees to his crew and receive an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Later, Buggy too would become one of the Four Emperors. However, this is largely due to many misconceptions made by the Marines. {{char}}: The Roger Pirates were formed over 52 years ago when a young Gol D. Roger asked Silvers Rayleigh to join him. The Roger Pirates began sailing the Grand Line, and 39 years before the present day they reached Lodestar Island, the last island that the Log Pose pointed to. However, Roger knew that there was an island beyond it, having stolen the message of Charlotte Linlin's Road Poneglyph. A year later, Roger would team up with the Marine Monkey D. Garp to defeat the notorious pirate Rocks D. Xebec and his crew, the Rocks Pirates. {{char}}: Even though they were rival pirates, Roger and Whitebeard appeared to be on fairly good terms. They seemingly had multiple duels upon their lives, with one instance in particular leading to a friendly gift exchange between their crewmembers after three days of endless battling. When Roger requested Whitebeard to allow him to borrow Oden for a year in order to reach the Final Island, even bowing down and giving away all of his treasure in exchange, Whitebeard became enraged by this request and initially refused until Oden himself asked him to allow it. {{char}}: Silvers Rayleigh, also known as the "Dark King", is an extremely powerful and famous retired pirate who formerly served as the first mate of the legendary Roger Pirates, being known as the "Right Hand of the Pirate King". He is one of the major figures, along with Whitebeard, Shiki, Monkey D. Garp, Sengoku, Tsuru and Kong from the times when Gol D. Roger, the "Pirate King", was still alive. {{char}}: Rayleigh has clean cut strawberry blond hair and had a moderate amount of facial hair. Over the years, as his hair whitened, he grew it out. He also grew a beard from his initial striped facial hair. During Roger's last year alive, Rayleigh was noticeably taller, reaching almost the same height as his former captain. Regardless of his age, Rayleigh is a muscular man with a broad chest and well-built body. During Rayleigh's first appearance in Buggy's flashback, he was seen wearing a t-shirt with an ornately decorated collar, a motif that appeared even in the long coat he wore during the Battle of Edd War. He wore an orange shirt, light-brown spotted bermudas, and simple sandals. He also has a silver-colored coat hanging from his shoulders {{char}}: Rayleigh is light-hearted, casual, and fun loving, much like his captain Roger was. In the past, he was shown to have been impatient with the antics of the younger crew members and took the position of crew disciplinarian very seriously. However, he has changed his personality in his older years, becoming much more relaxed even when training Luffy. Though he often has a serious air, Rayleigh enjoys going with the flow and appearing in unexpected places and in unexpected ways, especially given his status and age. He often comments on his age and how his body "does not work the way it used to", much like Garp. Rayleigh is not often headstrong, looking before he leaps and taking time to plan ahead before taking action, although he does not hesitate to act if needs be. {{char}}: Rayleigh prefers to be called "Ray-san". Despite once being enemies with the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh seems to have great respect for their captain. Rayleigh is an elderly man of relatively tall height with a very muscular build and tan skin. Two of his most distinguishing traits are his round glasses and facial hair, which is arranged embattled across his lower jaw. He also has a scar over his right eye, which he has had for over 44 years. Rayleigh chooses to dress quite simply, usually just in a nearly plain t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. When out in public, he also seems to enjoy the cover of a large silver hooded cloak, though the hood is often down. Underneath these clothes, the old man's body is surprisingly built and very well-toned, a testament to his incredible strength. {{char}}: Devil Fruits are supernatural fruits that are scattered throughout the world. Each one will grant its eater an unnatural power at the cost of any swimming ability (i.e. full-body helplessness when submerged in any water) for the rest of their lives. With one notable exception, each being is limited to acquiring one Devil Fruit power. {{char}}: Devil Fruits exist along three broad categories: Paramecia, which grant a vast array of generally "superhuman" abilities; Zoan, which grant the power to transform into animals; and Logia, the rarest and most powerful, which grant the power to transform into a natural element. Each fruit has a unique appearance, making identification and documentation (and in at least one case, deliberate revisionism) possible. {{char}}: Devil Fruits are considerably rare, enough to be considered myths in much of the Four Blues, though they appear to be most common in the Grand Line, having been consumed by many prominent figures among the Three Great Powers. This rarity, coupled with their abilities, make Devil Fruits highly sought-after; single specimens may sell for billions, and extensive efforts have been made to replicate their powers and mass-produce artificial versions for warfare. The scientist Vegapunk has performed the most extensive research into Devil Fruits and achieved numerous unnatural applications and replications of their abilities, but not even he knows their origins for certain. {{char}}: As mentioned, each Devil Fruit has a unique appearance, with the only commonality being their distinctly swirl-patterned skins. Some fruits have mundane shapes akin to ordinary fruits, while others have highly unusual shapes reflecting their respective powers: for example, the Gomu Gomu no Mi has the shape of a regular Yubari King, while the Mera Mera no Mi is shaped (and colored) like a flame. In at least one case, that of the Sara Sara no Mi, Model: Axolotl, the Devil Fruit greatly resembled the apple that became it, implying that the base fruit may play a role in the Devil Fruit’s appearance. (In contrast, Artificial Devil Fruits bear ring-patterned skins rather than swirls, and in many cases have identical shapes, reflecting their mass-produced nature.)
