Now I normally don't waste chapters on stuff like this but I though that you my loyal readers would like to see just where David currently stands in stats. Okay, after writing this I got a bit curious if what I remembered about the Navy/Marines of One Piece was accurate, and guess what... it wasn't. So I've made corrections to the previous chapters about the ranks (primarily Tashigi's) as it seems that in the One Piece universe the Marines are just what they call the Navy soldiers and that they are not actually separate branches. That being said, I will still be using the general Navy ranking system. If you want to know about the ranking system I will use just Google it as I have no with to post up all the ranks of both enlisted and officers.
Name: Patterson D. David
Affiliation: World Government, Navy/Marines, WGN McCampbell crew
Rate/Rank: LSSN (Logistics Specialist Seaman)
Age: 24
Height: 6'0"
Potential Love Interests: Tashigi (confirmed), Hina, Kalifa, Boa Handcock, Domino, Sadi-chan, female OC, Rebecca,
Powers: David ate the Hoshi Hoshi no mi (Star Star Fruit), a unique and powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit that gives him the powers of a star. This means he can turn his physical form into solar plasma as well as control and generate near infinite amounts. The normal heat of his plasma, such as that his body becomes when attacked, is around 107 °Kelvin; though his maximum temperature is yet to be recorded. David is also able to radiate heat, light, gravity, – the entire electromagnetic spectrum. By directing stellar energy uni-directional, he has a means of propulsion enabling him to fly at any speed or height at which he can still breath (a maximum of 430 miles per hour at 26,000 feet) or he can completely turn himself into pure plasma and travel at utterly outlandish speeds (though in that form he has far less area awareness and all his normal senses are all but useless). Additionally he has a sensitivity to the flux of ambient cosmic energies, giving him certain heightened perceptions. In the "hierarchy" of heat based Logia-types, the solar plasma of David's Hoshi Hoshi no mi is by far the greatest even surpassing that of Admiral Akainu's magma.
David is also skilled in the use of Haki: Kenbunshoku (Drive: Color of Observation), Haki: Busoshoku (Drive: Color of Armaments), and he can even use the Haki: Haoshoku (Drive: Color of the Conquering King) one of the rarest abilities in the One Piece world. Currently David is most skilled in the use of his Kenbunshoku Haki as it easily meshes with his "Cosmic Awareness" giving him the ability to monitor events from miles away when he concentrates (I will note that this is similar to Eneil's ability only far more detailed, accurate, and far reaching) and accurately predict the future to a far greater extent (David will latter note up to roughly a minute accurately). By comparison his Busoshoku Haki is not nearly as well trained he can "harden" both of his arms and any weapons he wields black but he he cannot keep his "armor" up continuously without concentration like Deflamingo or Rayleigh. Though he is most fond of using his Devil Fruit powers, due to sheer ease of use, David can use his Busoshoku Haki send out invisible shock waves with his melee attacks capable of piercing ships from quite a distance (about 200ft is his current max). Finally his Haoshoku Haki is powerful enough that if he had wished to he could have instantly dropped every Strawhat besides Luffy and Zoro (who both would have still felt as if someone was about to kill them and at leas Zoro would have been paralyzed) had he chose and not affected a single person outside his intended targets. But as Silvers Rayleigh said Haoshoku Haki can't really be trained in strength only in accuracy.
Notable Skills: David has shown to be a master level martial artist, utilizing a style that closely resembles a mixture of Japanese karate, various forms of Chinese kempo or kung-fu (primarily Wing Chung), Commando Sambo, and French savat. When combine with his extreme (and surprising for his appearance) physical strength and "equipped" with Busoshoku Haki, his attacks can create shockwaves powerful enough to destroy the largest dreadnoughts in a single blow. He has also stated that he's a master of the Rokushiki (Six Powers), however as of yet he has only used a faster than normal Soru (To Shave) when he moved to intercept Akainu's attack on Kobi. Not satisfied with simply having a powerful Devil Fruit, David has trained to master his powers to their full and greatest extents. His body will change to it's energy state the moment attacks touch him regardless of whether he expected them or not, he can control his electromagnetic and gravitational emanations to the extent that he can project a cage of gamma radiation around just the skin of a target without damaging it or affect the personal gravity of another being as to the point that they can phase through other objects, and when combined with his Kenbunshoku Haki his "Cosmic Awareness" can even predict the future to some extent.
PowerRanking: At the current time David is actually the second strongest living being in the East Blue (remember Garp is there escorting former-Lt. Morganto prison). His sheer power is easily comparable to that of Crocodile and Eneil meaning he could easily destroy an entire island if he ever had the inclination. However, because of his broader skill set he could actually be considered a greater overall threat level. The only real reason for his low rank is that he is just out of basic training (his advanced abilities coming from the outside training his father put him through) and dose not have "real world" experience. Due to the innate "pecking order" of their respective Logia Fruits David could actually fight and even kill Admiral Akainu even at his current level of skill and power (though the fight would likely be titanic) but if he were to face off with either of the other two Admirals or even the top-tier Vice-Admirals he'd more than likely be defeated.
Techniques: David's favorite and/or named techniques.
1.Afterburner - Turning his body (or parts of his body) into plasma David forces out a wave of pure heat energy that smashes into his target(s). The heat he generates can flay skin from bone but is not necessarily lethal and will usually not ignite everything around him in flame. This is one of many techniques David developed for shipboard battle.
2.Solar Wind, Magnetizer - David creates a controlled storm of solar wind that magnetizes his targets and sticks them all together (along with any ferrous metals and magnetic objects in the area). The magnetization can even force the targets' limbs to forcefully stick together in odd ways. This makes it an almost perfect capture and detainment technique… and also an amazing skill for the odd practical joke.
3.Lightning Edge-
4.Gravity Blow - David holds out his arm, with his palm facing out, and forms a large ball of contained gravitons and anti-gravitons that he launches out at his enemies. Upon impact the ball will first draw things in while exposing them to over a dozen times normal gravity before violently repelling them with force equivalent to several sticks of C4. Not only can this attack be severely damaging, but it can also be used as a "keep away" tactic as it launches its victims quite a distance.
5.Meteor Knuckle - David turns his fist into a concentration of plasma the actually ignites the air around it into a ball of fire then rushes forward making his fist look like a blazing meteor. Upon impact the attack causes an explosion and crater like that of a meteor strike as well.
6.Solar Flair -
7.Stellar Eruption - Raising his right arm and drawing it back. David changes his arm, from his fist to his elbow, into a bright blaze of erupting swirling blue/white plasma. Throwing his arm forward he launches a fiery horizontal pillar of destruction, hurtling out where it will burn, melt, and blast through anything it its way before finally detonating in a spectacular explosion that becomes a mountainous mushroom cloud. The blast waves of this attack can be felt from quite a distance.
8.Incendium Gehennae (Hellfire Conflagration) - A technique that traps the victim in a tornado of dark solar fire. When used David changes both his arms completely in to plasma and causes the color to go from blue/white to blue/black through unknown means. Then he slams his flaring arms together before him and unleashes a spiraling maelstrom of black and blue flame and plasma that can (in its first use) lite the entire sky aflame.
9.Charged Particle Gun -
10.Blue Fire, Crash Down-
11.Abolishing Flame-
12.Black Coffin -
13.Hellzone Grenade -
14.Ensis Exsequens (Executioner's Sword) - A high-level attack, so far shown to be unblock-able (as of the Marine Ford War Arc). When invoked, David's desired hand is wrapped with intense solar energies, which stabs outward in the direction of the outstretched fingertips in the rough approximate form of a blade. In terms of its effects, Ensis Exsequens causes damage by instantly converting matter from a solid (or liquid) into a gas, via a violent phase transition in order to attack its target; any living opponent caught within such an effect would thus be instantly vaporized and killed. As such a phase transition also absorbs an incredible amount of heat energy in the process, the surrounding area as the spell plummets in temperature as a direct result, causing this spell to actually be a two-stage attack – if the target were to be able to avoid instant vaporization via instantaneous phase transition, they would still have to deal with the extreme low temperature left in the attack's wake to deal with.
15.Azure Dragon Fist - .
There you have it David's current datasheet, hope this keeps you sated and curious for what will happen in the future. I may or may not come out with an updated one latter for him and/or the other OCs I will use. but for now please PM me if you have any questions or suggestions for David or any other characters in my story. I will actually be accepting suggestions for OC allies and enemies, just DocX or email me your datasheets (please use above format + a description of their appearance) and I will get back to you on whether I will or will not use them.
