The Baker Brothers even then were businessmen they did not care for establishing their name through violence and only wished to gain the most Beli that they could. However, as they were drug dealers they needed muscle in their establishment and as the Handyman had beaten up all of their muscle rather easily they knew that they would not be able to stop him. When they met they exchanged stories the Baker Brother’s having been born on the island to a drug addict mother who sold them to a drug dealer for some of the drugs they now sell themselves.[break][break]
The drug dealer was kind to them and taught them the ways of the drug dealing and instilling in them the idea that with enough Beli a man could do whatever he wanted in this world. The twins brought into it and became his best sellers even at a young age, knowing what he had taught them, and seeing the ambition in their eyes the man who was like a father to them had given them a deal.[break][break]
The deal was that they would take over his business that way they would not have to kill him for it now that he was getting old as he knew that was their plan because he taught them everything they knew and it is what he would have done. He would bear no ill will to them as he was proud of their ambition and the fact that they respected him enough to take the meeting with him before just killing him dead and taking what was his.[break][break]
However, all he asked in return was that they take good care of him in his old age and make sure that he wanted for nothing as he had once done to them, they agreed to the deal as it would be much better than causing a war with the members of the gang that were too loyal to him to defect with the twins. The old man left the two boys with one bit of advice before he retired which was if ever you come across a situation where you may not win and even if you did your profit would suffer the best thing to do would be to come to a compromise.[break][break]
To them, this happened to be one of those situations. As the Handyman had shown that he was capable of beating the best fighting group on the island it wouldn't make sense for them to go to war with him. Instead, they offered him the position as their new head of security, and so long as he made sure that what just happened did not happen again he would be well taken care of. The Handyman answered with his own tale thinking it right that since they shared their origin tale with him that he should do the same as well.[break][break]
So he launched into his life story starting from the beginning. He had been born in the south blue he did not remember which island as he was so young but he was told it was in the south. His parents were relatively important on their island being compared even to the celestial dragons. One day an actual celestial dragon showed up on the island and his parents made the mistake of treating him like an equal. Because of this, they decided they would buy the family's only son as a slave and promised that if they had any more children they would hear about it and would come and take that child away as well. Their intention was to end the family line who thought that they were equal with the likes of them.[break][break]
Having been a spoiled child the Handyman, who could not remember his true name nor did he care to try, did not acclimate to slave life well. He was strong-willed and plucky often trying to escape and fight his way out of slavery albeit unsuccessfully as he did not know how to fight. It was slaves like him that they decided to train up for the slaves fights because of the natural fight within them; also if given a chance for freedom and a good chance at that the slaves tended to not try to run away anymore. Also if trained, they could make their owner very rich and if not then they died and the celestial dragon would no longer have to worry about a slave that was too feisty for its own good. The celestial dragon gave the Handyman basically the same proposition the brothers were giving him now.[break][break]
He was to fight for him. As well as providing him with protection, he was to fight in gladiatorial matches that would make him a bunch of money and although he would not be making any money he would be well taken care of so long as he kept winning. A lost every now and then was to be expected but if he stayed on top of his game and won 1,000 matches he would win his freedom and be released with a ship and 100,000 Beli to do with whatever he wished. He took the deal, making the promise that he would never lose a fight. The celestial dragon was amused and told him that if he truly does not lose in his first 500 matches then he would set him free early and give him a boat teach him to navigate and 1,000,000 Beli to do with as he pleases.[break][break]
He fought and won. For years this went on and he was making quite the name for himself. Whatever anyone may say about a celestial dragon one thing that could not be said is that they do not keep their word. Or rather the Handyman had the good fortune to be brought by one that had every intention of keeping his word. He began to spoil the Handyman as much as a slave master could spoil a slave. While he was not well fed he was better fed than all the other slaves the celestial dragon owned put together. He also began asking the Handyman when he was up for another fight which was a stark comparison to when he first began and fights would be stacked one after the other as if trying to get the Handyman to lose.[break][break]
His 500th fight was his most grueling. Not because the man he was fighting was particularly strong or sturdy. He had actually beaten the man before rather easily before. However, this time it would be his opponent’s 1,000th win if he won this fight so he refused to be ended no matter how bad he was beaten. There was an unspoken rule among the slaves that they would not kill each other no matter how rough the fights got and the Handyman was going to stick to this even if he ended up tiring himself out and losing his first fight during the fight for his freedom. Just when he felt that he could no longer hold out his opponent fell and he had won his freedom.[break][break]
He worked for the original Baker brothers for a few years while making a name for himself and striking fear into the hearts of the inhabitants. He also watched the brothers in order to learn how to play the game and learn to run things on his own. When he finally felt he had learned all he could from the brothers he went to them with a proposition all his own. Something that would benefit the both of them but something that would ensure that The Handyman would gain control of the island without having to go to war to do it. It was a simple deal that the brothers would not like but would have to take unless they wanted to fight a war that would make their business suffer, and they would eventually lose.[break][break]
The Handyman would break off from the brothers and create his own gang choosing those that he brought to enforce with him within the brother's company with him when he defects. While this would literally mean that the brothers had no means of protecting their business The Handyman offered his crew as protection so long as the brothers paid, though he would give them a nice discount. Also, he would enter into the protection racket and not touch the drug trade which would leave the brothers business untouched. The reason they would be stupid to refuse this deal was that all the enforcers within the Baker Brothers gang were loyal to The Handyman and would turn on them if it were to come to a fight.[break][break]
This is how The Handyman came into power and why he had allowed the Baker's Brothers to prosper on his island (even going as far as to protect them for free so long as they did not sell to anyone in his gang). The fact that The Handyman allowed them to keep their business and even allowed them to use his name for protection free of charge is why the new brothers were so apprehensive about attacking The Handyman. Rat knew this history as everyone else on Baterila Island knew it. This was why she was getting antsy she knew that it would take something big to get them to go to an all-out war.[break][break]
She would get her chance sooner than she thought. The younger brother who was always more brash and violent then the elder brother wanted to go on a mission with Rat. The mission was to kidnap one of the main players for the Superintendents. He wanted to kidnap the man and make him talk about the rumored weakness of The Handyman as well as get some inside info which would help them when it was time to attack. He wanted to keep the idea from his older brother who would have advised against it (and with good reason too) and that worked perfectly for Rat.[break][break]
She set it up so that both the brother and the major player would be taken into custody by the marines. Both sides would think that they fought and killed each other. Rat would tell each side that she disposed of the bodies so that no heat would befall them and because she was trusted by both sides they would believe her. It was not easy to capture them and Rat ended up having to fight them both because when she tried capturing them alive they pieced together that it was her pitting them against each other. Though they did not know she was a marine until her reinforcements arrived and referred to her as Seaman Apprentice Ayasha King.[break][break]
Favor had smiled upon Rat having successfully taken down the number two of each of the gang’s while making it seem as if they had taken each other out. It was made much more convincing as Rat was pretty beat up from holding them both off until her back up arrived, she had spun them both a story that she had sided with their respective leader and was only able to take down the other side due to the sacrifice of the leader giving her the opening to finish the other off. Both sides brought her story and both sides were livid with the other, Rat played her part greatly screaming for war to protect the honor of both sides.[break][break]
Within a few days war was exactly what had happened. Surprisingly it was the Baker Brothers gang that made the first move. Most likely not thinking straight due to the apparent death of his cousin who was more like a brother to him (the marines have been quiet about arresting them as per Ratchet’s request so that her plan will work), The elder brother himself struck the first blow in the war having shot at one of the decoy cars that was said to be holding the Handyman and killing one of his stand-ins.[break][break]
This was an insult that the Handyman could not suffer and retaliated by blowing up one of the Baker Brothers gang hideout giving a written order to do it to Ratchet signed by him. Ratchet kept the orders for evidence but since she made sure there was no one within the blast it would not be enough to lock him away forever.[break][break]
She used her considerable charm to attempt to have them both move the war into a more personal means, she succeeded due mainly to the fact that the remaining brother did not want to see more of his business hurt and the Handyman believing it would be more honorable. During their meeting to decide the terms of the war Ratchet took this as her chance to break into their respective headquarters and steal, very much illegally, proof that could help her put them away for good.[break][break]
She decided to hit the Baker Brothers first. Their set up was easier to break into because they were a business and hide their illegal gain through a legitimate business. Thanks to all the gang members having gone to the meeting Rat was able to just walk through the front door under the pretense of checking things out for the boss. Once in the office she broke into the safe and took pictures of the numbers sheet detailing just how much drugs and mysterious disappearances the brothers were responsible for, this was more than enough to lock the entire gang away for good.[break][break]
The Superintendents would not be so easy. The Handyman did not pretend to be a legit business everyone knew he was corrupt but no one could prove it. His money came from gifts from his friends and he was lucky enough that these gifts made him wealthy. Because no one would testify and they could never catch him in the act and anyone they caught that was tied to him simply took full blame there was never a way to get him. Because of this, there were still members of his gang patrolling his office under strict orders to not let anyone inside without the bosses say so. This was when she had to use her abilities as a thief to sneak in without being seen by anyone.[break][break]
The fact that she was the one that set up the security meant that she knew the exact routes and timing the guards were under which meant she was well prepared for this, she snuck in without a hitch and when she finally made it into the bosses chambers she seen something that she could not help but think was just wrong.[break][break]
A large wolf with red markings across his black fur, he was around two feet larger than regular wolves and had to be the rare breed of dire wolf that she had read about, she had heard that there was one on the island that was in the circus that used a tomahawk but it ran away and was not seen again. It seemed Fetty the Flamboyant had not run away but was caged up in the Handyman’s office (which he never let anyone enter). There were clear signs of abuse on him and he was bone thin likely from being starved, the wolf’s cage was not the only one within the office either.[break][break]
There were several young girls within cages as well ranging from twelve years old to fifteen. All in various stages of undress clear abuse both sexual and physical littered their bodies. Rat was infuriated with what she saw and promised that she would get them all out and back to their families as well as finishing the Handyman today this would not go on any longer. She freed the children as well as the wolf that seemed to understand that she was there to help and did not even growl but followed her instructions to the letter as if he understood her every word better than any wolf should ever be able to.[break][break]
Because she was with around twenty young girls and a very large wolf sneaking out was not an option so instead, she told the girls and the wolves to wait within the office as she took care of the men outside. She snuck around behind each of them and knocked them out either choking them or knocking them against the head with her iron gauntlet.[break][break]
During this she found a beautiful ax with an unorthodox sheath unlike any she saw before, she felt compelled to take it even though she would not be able to use it.[break][break]
Upon returning to the girls and the wolf the wolf bounded up to her and began licking her face before expertly fastening the sheath to his neck and drawing the ax giving it a few practice swings. Rat was impressed so much so that she asked the wolf if he would like to join the marines as her partner the wolf gave a low howl which she took as a yes and they walked from the building. Once she got from the building she called her contact to pick up the girls as well as to arrest the men within the compound and to seize both headquarters she had a plan to end this right now.[break][break]
Fetty who seemed eager to join her was malnourished and once Rat told the other marines that the wolf was her new partner to treat him as they would treat her he was whisked off to a marine hospital to be treated. Fetty gave her a look that she could swear meant that he appreciated her concern and that he would follow her anywhere and that they were now a pack with her being his alpha.[break][break]
It was time to put her capture plan in motion with the two bases of operation seized and all the evidence she had sent in all she needed now were witnesses to testify and there would be no way either one of them would get away without doing life imprisonment in impel down with the worst of the criminals.[break][break]
However, she knew no one would testify unless she proved that the might of the military could protect them from the criminals. She walked to the meeting alone with a Den Den Mushi that would call in reinforcements at one click of a button. She entered the meeting and told both leaders that the marines have hit their headquarters.[break][break]
An all-out brawl took place with the two gangs blaming each other. Soon the fighting spilled out onto the streets and once there was a large crowd Rat entered the fray. She fought both sides knocking out many of the small fries on both sides. Both the elder brother and the Handyman were knocking out small fries as well.[break][break]
When they noticed that Ratchet was taking out men on both sides The Handyman unleashed his secret weapon. A blast of conqueror’s haki aimed for all the combatants so that the onlookers would be able to witness his might.[break][break]
Both sides hit the floor knocked out and the only people left to fight was the elder brother who fell to the ground but got back up, and Ratchet who was brought to her knees but trained to resist this level of haki for this very mission. The fight was long and hard and eventually the Handyman’s advanced age caught up with him allowing Rat and the elder brother to overpower him something they would not have been able to do on their own.[break][break]
Rat then fought with the elder brother who put up a great fight but the blast of haki had weakened him much more than it had Ratchet and she was able to pull off a win. She took the Den Den Mushi from her pocket and pushed the button within moments several marines were rushing to the scene many of them telling Seaman Recruit King that she was supposed to call them before the fighting had started.[break][break]
She just smiled before reassuring the people of Baterila Island that the marines would always be there to help them so long as they were willing to help themselves. After her short speech, she could tell that the people were applauding her but she could not hear it as she soon passed out from the stress of battle.[break][break]
The Baker Brothers even then were businessmen they did not care for establishing their name through violence and only wished to gain the most Beli that they could. However, as they were drug dealers they needed muscle in their establishment and as the Handyman had beaten up all of their muscle rather easily they knew that they would not be able to stop him.

During their meeting to decide the terms of the war Ratchet took this as her chance to break into their respective headquarters and steal, very much illegally, proof that could help her put them away for good.[break][break]
She decided to hit the Baker Brothers first. Their set up was easier to break into because they were a business and hide their illegal gain through a legitimate business. Thanks to all the gang members having gone to the meeting Rat was able to just walk through the front door under the pretense of checking things out for the boss. Once in the office she broke into the safe and took pictures of the numbers sheet detailing just how much drugs and mysterious disappearances the brothers were responsible for, this was more than enough to lock the entire gang away for good.[break][break]
The Superintendents would not be so easy. The Handyman did not pretend to be a legit business everyone knew he was corrupt but no one could prove it. His money came from gifts from his friends and he was lucky enough that these gifts made him wealthy. Because no one would testify and they could never catch him in the act and anyone they caught that was tied to him simply took full blame there was never a way to get him. Because of this, there were still members of his gang patrolling his office under strict orders to not let anyone inside without the bosses say so. This was when she had to use her abilities as a thief to sneak in without being seen by anyone.[break][break]
The fact that she was the one that set up the security meant that she knew the exact routes and timing the guards were under which meant she was well prepared for this, she snuck in without a hitch and when she finally made it into the bosses chambers she seen something that she could not help but think was just wrong.[break][break]
A large wolf with red markings across his black fur, he was around two feet larger than regular wolves and had to be the rare breed of dire wolf that she had read about, she had heard that there was one on the island that was in the circus that used a tomahawk but it ran away and was not seen again. It seemed Fetty the Flamboyant had not run away but was caged up in the Handyman’s office (which he never let anyone enter). There were clear signs of abuse on him and he was bone thin likely from being starved, the wolf’s cage was not the only one within the office either.[break][break]
There were several young girls within cages as well ranging from twelve years old to fifteen. All in various stages of undress clear abuse both sexual and physical littered their bodies. Rat was infuriated with what she saw and promised that she would get them all out and back to their families as well as finishing the Handyman today this would not go on any longer. She freed the children as well as the wolf that seemed to understand that she was there to help and did not even growl but followed her instructions to the letter as if he understood her every word better than any wolf should ever be able to.[break][break]
Because she was with around twenty young girls and a very large wolf sneaking out was not an option so instead, she told the girls and the wolves to wait within the office as she took care of the men outside. She snuck around behind each of them and knocked them out either choking them or knocking them against the head with her iron gauntlet.[break][break]
During this she found a beautiful ax with an unorthodox sheath unlike any she saw before, she felt compelled to take it even though she would not be able to use it.[break][break]
Upon returning to the girls and the wolf the wolf bounded up to her and began licking her face before expertly fastening the sheath to his neck and drawing the ax giving it a few practice swings. Rat was impressed so much so that she asked the wolf if he would like to join the marines as her partner the wolf gave a low howl which she took as a yes and they walked from the building. Once she got from the building she called her contact to pick up the girls as well as to arrest the men within the compound and to seize both headquarters she had a plan to end this right now.[break][break]
Fetty who seemed eager to join her was malnourished and once Rat told the other marines that the wolf was her new partner to treat him as they would treat her he was whisked off to a marine hospital to be treated. Fetty gave her a look that she could swear meant that he appreciated her concern and that he would follow her anywhere and that they were now a pack with her being his alpha.[break][break]
It was time to put her capture plan in motion with the two bases of operation seized and all the evidence she had sent in all she needed now were witnesses to testify and there would be no way either one of them would get away without doing life imprisonment in impel down with the worst of the criminals.[break][break]
However, she knew no one would testify unless she proved that the might of the military could protect them from the criminals. She walked to the meeting alone with a Den Den Mushi that would call in reinforcements at one click of a button. She entered the meeting and told both leaders that the marines have hit their headquarters.[break][break]
An all-out brawl took place with the two gangs blaming each other. Soon the fighting spilled out onto the streets and once there was a large crowd Rat entered the fray. She fought both sides knocking out many of the small fries on both sides. Both the elder brother and the Handyman were knocking out small fries as well.[break][break]
When they noticed that Ratchet was taking out men on both sides The Handyman unleashed his secret weapon. A blast of conqueror’s haki aimed for all the combatants so that the onlookers would be able to witness his might.[break][break]
Both sides hit the floor knocked out and the only people left to fight was the elder brother who fell to the ground but got back up, and Ratchet who was brought to her knees but trained to resist this level of haki for this very mission. The fight was long and hard and eventually the Handyman’s advanced age caught up with him allowing Rat and the elder brother to overpower him something they would not have been able to do on their own.[break][break]
Rat then fought with the elder brother who put up a great fight but the blast of haki had weakened him much more than it had Ratchet and she was able to pull off a win. She took the Den Den Mushi from her pocket and pushed the button within moments several marines were rushing to the scene many of them telling Seaman Recruit King that she was supposed to call them before the fighting had started.[break][break]
She just smiled before reassuring the people of Baterila Island that the marines would always be there to help them so long as they were willing to help themselves. After her short speech, she could tell that the people were applauding her but she could not hear it as she soon passed out from the stress of battle.[break][break]
