Summary: What makes Corazon badass?
Warnings: Possible OOCness
Badass. Noun. A tough, uncompromising, intimidating person.
Corazon was tough. Corazon was uncompromising. Corazon was intimidating.
He was tough, having endured a painful childhood. He would be lying if he said he never got any nightmares. Multiple nights he had woken up, screaming and covered in sweat. His screams were never heard by the crew, muted by his Devil Fruit. He wouldn't let his brother know that the memory that haunted him most was his father being killed right behind him.
He was uncompromising; harsh and relentless. He didn't hesitate to beat the new recruits. Men, women, children, he attacked them all. He didn't want them to join his brother's crew. His main goal was to stop his brother, and to do so he needed to make sure they didn't get any more recruits. The kids were quickest to flee, though three children stayed with the Family. His brother wouldn't allow him to attack the baby though.
Corazon was intimidating. Well, at first glance he was. He was taller than most people and had muscles too. He was strong and his poker face, despite the makeup, could cause some people to think twice about messing with him. However, people would reconsider when they realize that the younger Donquixote Brother was clumsy. But then they'd get beaten up by him or his older brother when they messed with Corazon and return to their first impression.
Corazon showed his true badass side on the six month journey to find a cure for Law's White Lead Disease. Each time the doctors and nurses called Law a monster or freak, Corazon snapped. He attacked them and set something on fire, miraculously without catching fire himself. The hospital room they were in burned while he knew there were other patients still inside the other parts of the building.
When he was stealing the Op-Op Fruit, he was a badass. He silenced himself, barged into the base of the Barrels Pirates, shot out the lights, grabbed the fruit, jumped through the window, and tossed a grenade. Even when he was surrounded by multiple men and greatly outnumbered, he didn't give up. He took them out and still kept the Op-Op Fruit.
He forced Law to eat the Op-Op Fruit by literally shoving it down his throat. He wouldn't let Law keep on saying that he was going to die soon. When Doflamingo used the Bird Cage, he knew that Law would be the only one able to escape. He took a beating from his brother's crew and suffered multiple gunshot wounds from his brother himself. Even as he lay dying, he stayed alive as long as he could, allowing Law to escape silently.
Corazon was tough. Corazon was uncompromising. Corazon was intimidating.
Corazon was badass.
