[ [strike]Pirate[/strike]Marine ] Captain of the Lightning Armada, Cro
Name:Cro
Age: 24; Birthday, June 17th.
Bounty/Rank: 180,000,000
Devil Fruit: None
Equipment: A simple Steel Sword with a Golden Guard, and an eye-patch. There is also a jagged knife tucked away inside of his boot along with a Yo-Yo with a built in clock onto the side.
Skills: Due to self induced training and his own personal methods, Cro has formed his own style of swordplay for serious combat Drunken Blade Style.
Abilities:
-Drunken Blade Style = After downing a specially crew brewwed beer, mixed with hops and specific herbs to create a sensation of mild hallucinigenics, as well as making his movements much more smooth and graceful, allowing him to effortlessly dodge simple attacks as well as inducing a bit more of intollerence to pain. While not enough to nullify the effects of loosing an arm or a body part persay, he would hardly notice a cut or a bruise if one was delt to him.
-Drunken Blade Style : Sword Steal = Using his slinking motion of combat, Cro utilizes his foe's own attacks against them, slipping around them in and about before stealing thier sword away through methods such as slashing their tendons on their wrists, to slipping the blade through their forearms, to simply being able to twirl it around and about and out of their hands with a consecutive rotating motion, then swoop it up to temperarilly duel weild.
-Drunken Blade Style : Lightning Wrath = His previous Ultimate Attack, Cro focuses his energy into his blade, his mind temporarilly clearing as he forces his body to become more and more loose under the effects of his specialty blend and succeeds in dealing out several massive and quick succession slashes, if at a single opponent, only in one general direction from many different angles, but if he is surrounded, it works almost as if it was from a storm, the blade cutting through like a cold wind through a thin coat, leaving most common foes defeated instantly if they had been dissarmed or weakened from extended fighting.
-Drunken Blade Style : Whirlwind Dance = After his defeat against the deadly force of a Marine Lieutenant he had the 'pleasure of facing in combat', and the knoladge that Lightning Wrath would certainly not be strong enough to take down the officer of the law, he decided he would need a new Ace to pull on him when their meeting would eventually happen once more. In looking for inspiration in his drunken state one day as he was spinning his Yo-Yo for relaxation, he figured he could possibly even use the same style of attack a Yo-Yo could pull off with his blade, and as such started messing about, eventually leading into his new attack. Staggering abit in his stance as he is in Drunken Blade Style, Cro would toss his blade up, snagging it by the cloth of it's hilt with two fingers, unwrapping the blade to the base of the guard giving himself a few extra feet of range for his attack as he would begin to swirl the blade over and around his head, building up speed in his twirl till a gust would begin to form around, pulling in light specks of dust and dirt from the ground as he would begin to create a small cyclone around him, before rolling with the wind and slashing the blade forward as if he were to be swinging an extended Yo-Yo in order to hit a distanced target while not being close to the target himself, launching forawrd a blade of wind from his sword propelled by the cyclone at his target, before tugging back the blade, catching it by the hilt and launching forward with the remainder of the cyclone's gust to give himself a small boost aswell as an opening, weather the person guarded themselves from the initial attack or was knocked into a defensless stance from hit, and begin to slash in crossing motions from multiple directions before finally lunging the blade forward to strike them in the center of their chest.
Drunken Blade Style : Hurricane Gale Storm = After several more defeats in battle, , Cro had once more discovered he was indeed in need of far more power if he was to even have a hope of killing the Lieutenant that had so easilly mopped the floor with him when the chance came. While his one arm was broken, dissallowing him from relying on the power of a two handed strike, he lay out against the rail of the ship, swirling around his blade to pass the time. Thats when it hit him, why not use the power of the wind as a continiuous power increaser. By rapidly twirling the blade about in a circular motion, as well as focusing a large amount of his being into the blade, he can begin to create a small cyclone around his blade, using the deadly power of the wind to drastically increase the damage from his blows, pottentially raising the power of his Drunken Blade Style : Whirlwind Dance to a Large Building level of damage.
Drunken Blade Style : Ba'al's Armorment = After many battles in which Cro's use of Hurricane Gale Storm has shown signs of an even more powerful form, and while under the 'safety' of the Marines, he trained against several Pirate crews assigned to their detail to further investigate the realm of elemental expansion. Focusing the speed of his winds into high velocity against itself, the friction of the air creating a static charge of electricty and then uses the electricity as a jump start throughout all of the wind current in order to create a form of lightning armor around himself. As it is only a new found power, it isn't very strong against high powered attacks or Haki users. But against most normal foes using metal weapons, it would bound down and electrocute them, stopping their hearts, as well as giving him a higher durribility in the normal sense.
Drunken Blade Style : Ba'al's Fury = In addition to his new found use of electricity as an armorment, Cro's use of the wind in order to create a weak form of lightning spans into a limited number of attacks. The normal form of this attack is to sweep downward with his sword, lashing the lightning outward in a straight shot at his opponent. The other form is highly experimental and very taxing on his body, but if it works as he plans it could be one of his strongest attacks yet. Combining his lightning along with his Hurricane Gale Storm technique he would fire the spiralling cyclone of lightning into the sky, forming a dark storm cloud above him and his opponent(s) and then break the attack off into either an AOE, in which several bolts of lightning would strike down all of his foes, the bolts aimed for their heads, with the power being halved with each additional target, or if it was targetted at only one person a massive bolt of highly charged lightning would smash down at them with horrifying destructive power. It has only successfully been used once in training, and as a result it wound up accidentally killing one of his newfound companions. Since then, Cro has tried to avoid using his latest ultimate attack as much as possible.
Drunken Blade Style : Flare-Burst = After finally mastering his latest ultimate attack, Drunken Blade Style : Ba'al's Fury, he began to notice the increase of temperature in the area, as well as doing a minor bit of research while he wasn't being chased by the Marines, and read into a natural meteorological occurrence in nature known as a Heat Burst, typically spanning after Thunderstorms in which a form of Downburst would come down, but with the intense heat of the lightning fire would begin to spread. While one of his most difficult follow up skills to get a handle on due to the fact that he would have to expend massive amounts of his energy simply to be able to use the technique Ba'al's Fury, he managed to finally tap into another of his wind control's uses, able to summon out a burning tornado from the point of impact in an area of effect style attack in order to light his foes on fire and cause a lingering and searing amount of pain to their bodies, however as this is fire, an almost living and breathing element, it would not be exactly easy to make it calm down afterwards and dissipate, rather it would last as an uncontrollable factor into the battle, but still make for a powerful follow up technique to a heavy hitting bolt of lightning so as to continue damaging to them after hitting them initialy.
Drunken Blade Style : Boreas' Respire = During his time of training his new found skill of Ba'al's Fury, he returned to a colder element before attempting his Flare-Burst technique, he attempted to obtain a mastery of the greatest elements of paralysis, cold. Since his initial use on Skye, he trained his body to normally breathe outward in a frozen chill, continually lowering the temperature of the air escaping his body as well as the range both in width and length. By the time he had finally begun to look into Flare-Burst, he had already been able to create a wide and thick blanket of ice outward, creating a triangle shaped attack of ice spending roughly a tenth of a mile from his body, freezing his targets to the core, and trapping them where they stood. Not only is this a powerful technique in allowing him for either an escape or an opening to attack, it helps in cooling off his body and reducing the amount of sweat his body gives off, further increasing his stamina.
Drunken Blade Style: Poseidon's Maelstrom = Thankfully due to the fact that his powers do not stem from that of a Devil Fruit, water does not faze him. Rather, being that he can even use his wind prowess in the water, and after coming to a realization that his abilities were far more relatable to that of a storm rather than that of pure wind, he spent a large amount of time out in the ocean while he and his crew sailed to and fro between the islands, utilizing his control to add in another element of control, water. A rather interesting skill in its nature, Cro literally is able to call forth a maelstrom from within the waters near him in order to lay waste to his opposing enemies’ ship(s). The only drawback is that in order to even begin to utilize this skill is that he himself has to be submerged in the water as the focal point for the whirlpool, a chance to be sucked deep underwater by his own attack if he isn't careful, and the fact that in order to even think of using this skill there has to be a massive body of water in which to use it, such as the oceans, thus why this is a naval only skill. But for as to how he uses the attack, he would literally fly off of his ship and dive bomb straight into the water a short ways away from his foe's ship, spiraling downward into the water to give him a jump start on his rotational speed, further utilizing his skill in order to gradually create a whirlpool in order to suck the ship down and crush them with the current and water pressure. However the last drawback to this skill is the fact that like with Flare-Burst, water is not an easily tamed element, and if he is not careful, it can easily grow to a size in which he can no longer control it, similar to Crocodile and his Sables technique.
Drunken Blade Style : Zapmolcuno's Onslaught = After finally being able to master his control of the three elements through Ba'al's Fury, Flare-Burst, and Boreas' Respire, Cro began to toy with a way to combine all three of his techniques into one massive final attack, the likes of which none have seen before. But creating an attack, so powerful, so unheard of, would not be a simple or effortless feat, spanning several months in even the basic concept of his greatest technique. By the time of this skill's birth, Cro's stamina has already spanned to the point in with he can use Ba'al's Fury in its full force several times in the course of one battle with no signs of tiring. After it's initial strike and while Flare-Blast activated, he would utilize his control of wind to take in the firestorm around him, as we'll as electrically charging it in order to create a flaming storm of lightning and fire, and then combine it with his mastery of Boreas' Respire, firing off a sort of beam of Ice, Fire, and Lightning, in a sweeping motion in order to horrifically obliterate all in his way, utilizing the destructive force of all three of Nature's most deadly elements, leaving nothing but a motionless husk of a human form, trapped in the last position they made, frozen in place, yet searing hot to the touch. Such a skill if not used carefully though could easily back fire on him, the fire able to melt the ice and the water creating a highly conductive current back into his own body and kill him. Practice of this skill was done carefully and in a highly controlled environment in order to prevent self injury, and now, having fully mastered his newfound power, he can instantly bring death upon all those before him, especially for when he would finally confront, Gilles.
Occupation:
Affilations:
History: Our tale begins 25 years ago, on a small quiet room in a pub in Lougetown. Though orgionally ment to be a simple cheap night of pleasure, the Naval Commodore of unknown name never expected that he would wind up causing the woman to need an 8-9 month hiatus from work as she carried his child, alone after his departure that same night. Through the following years, Cro was raised by his mother, typically running amuck in the pub, easilly fasinated by all those that came into the pub, listening into each of their tales of adventure intently, from cocky Naval Ensigns, to meloncholy pirate Captains. Athough, his favriots of all, were the older, sometimes even retired captains of both Pirate and Naval affiliations, just for some reason finding more wisdom then anything else in their words, comparred to the bullspit coming from the younger lads.
Around the age of 17 years or so, Cro managed to band together a small group of childhood friends and companions, some older, some even younger then he was totalling a group of roughly seven members, and in the dead of night, whilst most of the crew members were fast asleep or were drinking, they made their move, attempting to steal away with a Naval Ship known back then as, 'Ugly Betty'. Though at first all seemed to be going well, only a few members on the deck who they were easilly able to knock out and toss off the ship, they were soon found out by a slightly drowsy crew hand, coming up to do his nightly chores and called out for aid against a group of introuders. Unsuccesful in their attempt, the small group was thrown into jail, not having coming anywhere near close to achieving their goal of leaving the island. It wasn't for a few more months of waiting in their cells, eating moldy and stale bread and water, that they were able to make their move again, escaping in a rather risky but succesful escape from the prison, before going out with a number of older inmates of whome they made an arangement with and launched a second attempt on the 'Ugly Betty'.
After a rather nasty scuffle, and the real inmates starting to kill some of the Marines on the ship, did the seven decide that they weren't the kind of people they wanted to be to closly tied to and through a quick display of wit from one of the youngsters attempting to play to the older pirates sense of honor, (or what little there might have been) they convinced them to hold off the Marines so that they could sail away succesfully. Sadly though, the older pirates wound up dieing in the process.
Years passed and the group slowly grew in number. What was once seven ally kids from a small little island, grew into hardened sailors, each having gone their own way in terms of dealing with their situations, some becoming rather cold and ruthless, to others, like Cro, having sucome to the pleasures of drink. Through it all though, they had but two outstanding rules. One, Killing is to be avoided if at all possible as they are not just common murderers. And Two, Loyalty to the Lightning Armada lasts untill death. The name of their group, although inaccurate as it was with only one ship, strived from their second night out at sea, in which they faced their first real challange against the tempers of the ocean, barely making it through, untill a freak act of nature occured, in which what appearead to be a number of bolts of lightning, crashing down around them in boat like sillouets led them out of the storm.
'Ugly Betty' lasted the Lightning Armada many a good year, holding up against cannon fire from both Marine and Pirate attacks alike from those that thought them to be weak. It wasn't untill the attack from a Marine ship, Captained by Leiutenant James Marshalls managed to best them in battle, leaving many a good man dead in the wreckage, taking the remainder back the long distance to the Marine controlled Shells Town. But as fate would have it, their luck was yet to run dry, a bolt of lightning striking down in a storm a week into their capture blasted through the floor boards and struck down the active guard on watch of them, his charred and smoking corpse having dropped down next to their cell as the seven watched in confused awe. After a moment of disconect from their sign of freedom, the group agreed that in order to be free, there would have to be some leaniency on the rules, freeing themselves from thier cell before taking up stealthy arms towards the Marines, moving silently yet quickly as they aimed to take out most of the on board crew. Through a groulling three hour battle, with much blood spilled and only a handful of Marines remaining, left locked up in the cells that held them before to send as a message, they took a moment in the rain to mourn the loss of one of their youngest members, Ranton Jagervisk. A gruff and hardy lad, Ranton was perhaps a little to full of himself, and thought he could handle a few to many Marines on that fateful day. Durring the mourning process however, Cro had taken out his personal keepsake, his Yo-Yo Pocket Watch, gazing down at the time through the thick yeavy droplets of water that patterred down on them, untill sudonly a bolt of lightning struck down, jolting into the clockwork of the watch and permanantly freezing the time to not long after their take over of the ship, and decided as a group to rename their new ship, 'Time's Lightning'.
After having sent the remaining Marines back to Shells Town on a small life raft, they continiued on with their journy to further expand their open horrizens and discover what lies ahead. It has been several years since then, their crew building up again, stealling away from towns and other ships from time to time, but for the most part leaving the passangers fine less they actaually start something. And as the time has progressed, Cro has gradually become more and more proficient in his sword skills, focussing on disarming attacks rather then killing blows, but due to nececities in this world, he always saves one or two up his sleeve.
Through a recent ballot though, aside from the search for a new sister to their Flag Ship the sextet decided it might actually be a bit of fun to see if they could find some magnificent treasure of the famous, Gol. D. Roger and make the name Lightning Armada a world known name.
