One Piece: Treasure Cruise is an Alternate Universe (AU) site where the straw hats and all the other famous pirates of the animanga do not exist.
The Time frame for the site is around the same time frame of the Animanga so the technology and such are on par with what is seen in the show though some advances can be made within reason of course.
There should be no mention of cannon characters as none of them exist and although there may be certain things that are similar to the animanga as this site is based off of it, the animanga is not considered cannon on this site.
Plot
Seventy years ago the three way war going on within the sky was still happening with high casualties on all sides. Because of this a truce was initiated. Each island would have its own independence away from rule of the other islands. The truce would hold so long as they stayed on their respective island and did not venture off into the territory of the other islands. Although there have been news about multiple Birkans, Shandians, or Skypieans dying while on one of the other islands the open, all-out fighting has stopped and a lot of the killing has been toned down. However, this has not stopped many sky islanders from leaving their home in search of a peaceful life down in the Blue Oceans not knowing that they were going from one multiple century long war to another.
Around sixty years ago the revolutionaries had a secret base within East Blue on Colors Island. The secret base there was becoming so successful due to the fact that none would suspect any trouble out of the weakest ocean in the world, so much so that they would be surprised to run into high ranking officials of the revolution there. This went on for about ten years until the World Government finally got wind of the location of the hideout. The fight was brought to the base and the leader of the revolution at the time stayed behind to fight off the attack giving his people time to escape. Due to the public execution of the leader of the revolution having hurt the recruiting process for a few years it was then that the revolution decided to work through a system of council so that there would never again be just one leader of the revolution but five one for each blue and one for the Grand Line as a whole. Forty years ago people began to move back to colors island and multiple towns and villages have sprang up there each named after a specific color.
In the present time the fighting has become less open warfare and more vying for islands and power. However fighting between the revolution and the World Government still persist because of this the World Government has increased taxes. This has caused unrest in many of the civilians and has bolstered the ranks of the revolution. However in a move that no one saw coming there have been several individuals who feel as if the revolution is just as bad as the World Government and have gone to sea on their own to live by their own code and to enjoy their freedom. These pirates have sparked the Golden Pirate Era which has also sparked an increase in bounty hunters which is a fine way to earn a living and pay those raised taxes without joining the marines revolutionaries or the pirates.

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]
Rat grew up on Baterila Island she knew that everything was not as sweet as it seemed. The island had a dark side, much like every other island in the world it had its own share of criminals and misfits that did not fit into the idea of the resort themed tourist sections of the island. However, the island did a very good job of hiding this side of itself from the tourist who never knew they were being robbed and stolen from and just enjoyed the spa and attractions. [break][break]
When she was forced into becoming a part of the marines she vowed that she would come back and make the streets at least a little bit safer for people like her mother who was much too old to sell herself anymore so they were being extorted by an organized crime family that plagued the streets since Rat was a child. It was actually the leader of this organization who have Ratchet her nickname telling her that she was good to have around like the tool just in case. This was when he thought she was a boy, though when she began to grow breast he wanted her around for a completely different reason.
[break][break]
She knew the inner workings of Dino the Handyman and his band of criminals who called themselves the superintendents, which they thought was funny as they charged, people “rent” and protection money to be left alone. She knew it very well because not only did her mother used to be one of Dino’s favorite prostitutes when Rat was a child but Rat herself had also worked for him until he found out that she was a girl and wanted to change the nature of their relationship.
[break][break]
Until her mother had gotten too old for Dino, whom was in his 70’s and liked his women to be anywhere between 16-25, he and Rat had a very good relationship though afterward he began extorting her mother and beating her when she could not pay. Though before that it was Dino and his goons who taught Rat how to be a criminal and had even trained her on how to become a thief and pirate before seemingly just disappearing (having not told anyone she was drafted to the marines).
[break][break]
Now she was back to prove her worth to the marines, although those were not the words that they had used it is what she took the mission as. A way to show that they had not messed up by placing her at such a high rank straight out the draft especially since she had a habit of ignoring her higher ups and doing whatever she pleases. This was one of those instances she was supposed to stake out the mob and find evidence against them but not get directly involved or allow them to know that she was even on the island. She decided that this was stupid due to her inside knowledge and previous relationships with the gang she would be better to work undercover so that is what she did ignoring the warnings of her superiors that the gang may have heard about her being a marine.
[break][break]
She believed that waiting and looking out would be boring, and this way even if they do know that she is a marine she could just kick the shit out of them all and bring them in for attack marine personal which would be much more fun than searching for evidence to catch him and lock him away. However, they did not seem to know that she was drafted and just thought that she was sent away to learn to fight better which was partly true so she allowed them to believe just that saying that she was sent to Karate Island and that is where she learned Ryusoken. She was to reprise her role as thief for Dino to help her mother pay her “rent” which was just fine with her as it meant that while she conducted her investigation her mother would be safe from the abuse of The Handyman and his thugs.
[break][break]
Because she was now a Marine she could no longer actually steal for the gang. Something she lamented about but decided she was better off not causing an even bigger rift between her and the higher ups of the navy, especially after telling them that she had infiltrated the gang which was against her orders. So instead, whenever she was given an assignment to come up with certain items or a certain amount of money she would simply go to the useless marine base on the island and get more than enough money or a replica of the item.
[break][break]
One that would pass even the best underground test as their testers were nowhere near as good as the Marine forgers. The money was of course marked as were the items all of which was building a strong case against The Handyman though those items by themselves would not be enough to bring him to jail.
[break][break]
The whole pretending to work for him while slowly building evidence against him was much too slow. Rat had no intention to keep to this plan and only told her superiors this because what she was planning to do was technically illegal and they would not approve. She would incite a war between the superintendents and a lesser gang in the area and use the chaos to break into the handyman’s vault and get the real evidence against him that could put him away forever.
[break][break]
Though getting one of the lesser gangs to feel brave enough to attack would take some convincing she had a plan to handle that. Although it would take a few weeks she was confident that if she played her cards right the whole investigation would only last for two months which would make her the liberator of the village before her eighteenth birthday if that did not prove she belonged nothing would.
[break][break]
Her plan was a simple one she would take side jobs with the baker brothers a lesser gang that has been on the brink of making it big for years. It has even been said that if the Handyman were not around the baker brothers would be the top gang on the island. Of course she would receive permission from the Handyman as well as permission from the Marines to infiltrate this other gang before doing so. She would tell the Handyman that she had heard tale of a plot the brothers have to take him out and take over his business and work the angle of his spy.
[break][break]
To infiltrate the Baker Brothers she would tell them that the Handyman is getting weak in his old age and his control of his gang is slipping and because of that she was sent to his biggest threat to make sure that they did not try to move on him. However, she would tell them that she is sick of just being a small time runner and thief and that she would help them usurp the Handyman in a way that would have the superintendents working for them so they would take control of the island overnight and would end up with the power and respect that the Handyman had so long as they made her their number two in the organization.
[break][break]
Everyone on the island knew Rat’s worth and that having her on your side meant getting things that others could not as well as having an exceptional fighter on your side if things were to end up in a brawl. That bit of information plus an inside look into the Handyman’s operations was much too good an opportunity to pass up so she did not need to do too much convincing before she was accepted into the fold.
[break][break]
The next part of the plan came easy. It was basically just doing the same thing she was already doing but doing it for two gangs while simultaneously feeding the Handyman false information on how the brothers were mobilizing against him. While at the same time telling the brothers that Handyman was afraid that they would come and usurp everything he has created because he was growing weak. Of course neither of these things was true; the brothers were still very much afraid to move on the Handyman and the Handyman was still very much in charge showing no signs of weakening even in his advanced age.
[break][break]
Rat begun taking small measures that she knew her superiors would not like or approve of if they knew. This is part of the reason she did not report to them, the other being she did not want them to think that anything was changing and that she was following the orders given to her of just watching and reporting what she seen back to the marine base. She began small taking out small time runners for from the superintendents taking the illegal goods and the money they had on them back to the marine base. She would then tell the Handyman that his men were being hit by the brothers while going back to the brothers and saying that other gangs were seeing the weakness that the Handyman was showing and were trying to move in on territory that could easily be theirs.
[break][break]
Her plan was slowly working though she wanted to prod the progress on further she knew how delicate the process was. If she moved it too fast than she would blow it and her cover and her chance of getting the two gangs of the street permanently would be shot. She did not want to get a bunch of low level runners of the streets for a few years for assaulting a marine official she wanted more than that and she had a way to get it, a way to use the chaos a gang war would cause to her benefit to get enough evidence to put both gangs away for good, so long as the higher ups believed her story of her being giving the evidence for safe keeping (which of course would be a lie she planned on stealing it) then she would be golden.
[break][break]
The tension on the streets was slowly rising and rumors of a war breaking out soon were everywhere. This caused business for both sides to suffer as Rat knew it would as it was hard to operate on the street when you customers were scared that being around you would bring them into your war. Though it hurt organized crime and the protection rackets the most; people would not want to pay you to protect them if your name no longer caused fear because it was the fear that was the protection no what they could do to a person.
[break][break]
Anyone could hurt and/or kill someone else that is not what caused the protection business to prosper the way that it did. It was not the fear of being hurt but the fear and respect of the name so long as you had that name attached to you people would fear to cross you even if you are just some legit person paying money to the family so they would not terrorize your store, the fact that you were protected by them meant that disrespecting that store by messing with it or stealing from it was like disrespecting the name of the Handyman. For years the superintendents have lived rather comfortably because everyone knew that if you disrespected the name of the Handyman you paid the price.
[break][break]
During his youth when he first started coming into his name he had been a mysterious nobody just a drifter that randomly showed up one day he had no one following him and whenever someone asked his name he said he was the Handyman. Back then it was the Baker Brother’s gang that ran Baterila Island and a couple of their goons thought it would be funny to pick on the funny little kid with the odd name. At the time the Handyman was around fifteen years old he was skinny and he looked as if he never had a fulfilling meal in his life so they assumed they could take him.
[break][break]
What they did not know however was that he had run away from the Grand Line and was once the slave to a Celestial Dragon and was forced to fight for the family’s amusement. Because of this he was a trained fighter as most of the Celestial Dragon’s that were into slave fights had seen enough of untrained slave fighting and grew bored with it and begun training their slaves to fight telling them that if they won enough fights to win back the money spent to buy them then they could be free. Making the Handyman (which was his slave fighting name) a very dangerous man he defeated twenty five of the Baker Brother’s men before the two brothers (whose sons now control the gang) heard tale of it and decided to meet up with him.

Ratchet is a tomboy by nature she likes to be out roughing it in nature sailing or fighting in a pub. She is lively and does not like it when things become too stale or boring. She has a habit of trying to spice things up whenever she believes things are getting too boring and this has always gotten her in trouble. This is just fine for her as she was always one to go looking for trouble as she believes that trouble and adventure go hand in hand. She does not truly believe in rules or orders and thinks that justice means making sure that everyone enjoys themselves to the fullest.[break][break]
This makes her a terrible choice for the marines but since she has been drafted she has done her job realizing that every action has a reaction. This is to say that although she does not believe that there is such a thing as right and wrong because everyone has the right to do as they please that does not mean there are no consequences for your actions. Just like a pirate has the right to steal unguarded treasure she has the right to lock him up for it. This plays in nicely with her belief system as she can be as lenient with rules as she pleases not really caring about getting in trouble with the higher-ups of the navy all while following her own brand of anarchist justice.[break][break]
Appearance
Can just be Picture

Rat had always wanted to be a pirate and her clothes reflect this. She wears a modified pirate captain tricorn hat that resembles an eagle's beak at the tip that partly covers her face. She also wears a rather tight fighting top adorned with buckles and straps and all sorts of other things to hold her weapons. She also wears tight pants that have no pockets and long thigh length high heeled boots, the navy has tried to get her to wear more sensible boots but she does not feel comfortable in flats. She also wears leather gauntlets on either forearm and fingerless leather gloves though only one houses her hidden blade, a weapon that the navy does not approve of.[break][break]
Rat is a very attractive girl when she wants to be. Her caramel skin complexion and hazel green eyes complimenting each other nicely. She is of average height and has an athletic build sporting a six-pack that could make even some guys jealous. She is not the most gifted in the chest area but her small C cups fit her frame nicely. She has the overall body type of a tomboy who filled out nicely thanks to puberty which was basically the case. PUBERTY EQUALS MAGIC!!!
Optional for anyone, not using a limited position but not doing means no SA or Haki or DF

Ratchet began her life as Ayasha King the daughter of a prostitute and a random client who was never a part of her life, she never really cared though her mother and the other girls in the brothel always looked out for her and taught her things. Other kids were nasty to her sometimes but she was always a scrapper and she enjoyed fighting so whenever anyone would make fun of her for not having a dad or her mom’s profession she would just beat them up. As she got older her mother begun dressing her as a little boy so that the owner of the brothel would not train her to sell herself as well, Rat herself wanted to be a pirate and her mother was all for it so long as she lived a better life than her.[break][break]
Over the years her mother used most of her money to send her daughter to various schools and institutes that would give her everything she needed to know in order to become a pirate, Rat was a decent navigator and excelled in fighting which she would need if she planned to travel the seas as a woman. She learned sword fighting, whip fighting, and marksmanship. She even began to work on the streets as a pickpocket and a thief to help her mother pay for her formal teaching. This is where she learned that she had a silver tongue for merchant work.[break][break]
She gained quite the reputation, so much so that the marines traveled to her island and gave her an ultimatum either be drafted or go to prison for thievery, although she had always wanted to be a pirate she would have to end up being a marine. After being drafted she was given several tests from survival to written and even martial to figure out what her status would be within the marine ranks. She was surprised to learn that she had almost qualified for a Commissioned rank however her tendency for not following rules bumped her from a potential ensign to Chore Boy.[break][break]
Her time as a chore boy was very boring and uneventful. So in true Rat fashion, she decided she would spice things up by going out on the town and making friends. During this time she inadvertently made friends with dangerous pirates. One trip to the bar she outdrank all the pirates to the point where they were passed out drunk and when her superior officer came to check up on her and seen her in the middle of the bar surrounded by a crew of passed out pirates whose combined bounty was 956,000B she was given 100 commendations and promoted to Seaman Recruit.[break][break]
She was still getting in trouble for wearing her regular very pirate-like clothes but she would not change and just took the punishment. She claimed that the regular marine uniform was very unflattering and no one wanted to hide her curves. During training, exercises to learn navigation Rat learned that she had a knack for it. So much so that she once predicted a storm coming in and saved a bunch of unprepared sailors from entering a freak storm that they were not prepared for. Because of this, she was given another 100 commendations and was promoted once again to Seaman Apprentice. She had high hopes for this rank as it was when they began specialized training and Rat was had a plan to get her island back under control as well as bring increase the reputation of the marines.[break][break]

Street Rat [Rookie][break] Growing up on the street Rat learned a certain set of skills that she prides herself on. She has learned stealth, thievery, and bargaining. While her abilities with these three talents are far from the best they are noteworthy especially because she plans to better herself in each art. Though at her current Rookie-level she can only pick locks and pockets of NPC's without using a technique and while she can steal pretty much whatever she wants from an NPC bigger things are harder to get away with. From PC's it is hard for her to steal even little things without a technique and picking simple locks takes time and anything more complex is beyond her without a tech. As for stealth, she needs a tech in order to use anything stealth-like at the moment. Her merchant skills are by far her best asset at this level she is able to get a 10% discount on buying things.[break][break]
Ability #2 [Rookie]][break] Rat is fast she was always fast and because of her training, she will always be fast. Her speed is taken as far as a rookie could possibly take it. Her basic running speed would be the equivalent to a Rookie without a speed SA using a speed technique. This natural disposition to speed relates to her reflexes and reaction and while both are above the average neither is as high as a Rookie who has a reaction and reflexes SA.[break][break]

Hierarchy
Adheres to the marine hierarchy though on the ship Ratchet tends to be more lax.[break]
Ideology
Everyone has to have some kind of justice and be ok with Rat being Rat.[break]
In this Life we are all responsible for our actions.
Rat calmly walked to the next building over which was only about three feet away and looked completely abandoned as those who were within seen the chaos coming and fled. Actually the entire street was becoming empty except those directly participating in the revelry. Rat although liking chaos did not like innocents hurt, so the very first thing she did upon watching the pirates reckless hole creating escape was to make sure a silent evacuation order was given to everyone within a two block radius.
She sat at a seat completely unimpressed with what she saw so far. The mooks were being exceptionally mookish waiting around for specific orders and Ryuske who had potential was giving the order to shoot before he was completely sure there were no people around who would catch a stray bullet. It was all beautiful to Ratchet and she did not want to miss a minute of it. She sat at her chair and enjoyed every moment of it until it started raining marine bodies and lava fist.
The issue was that the marines who were sent flying by the blast that had created another hole within the bar were heading straight to the two lava fist that the dark skinned Irish man had shot off. Sighing because it meant she would have to intervene Ratchet dashed off into action. Her speed was just as impressive as always moving so fast that a rookie level fighter would believe that she was using some tech to increase her speed.
Using the Ryusoken three fingered fist she grabbed a support beam within the bar, having had used her dash to enter into the second hole, she stood to the left of the lava man's shoulder. She began crushing the beam in her hand using the DRAGON'S IRE technique. This was enough to cause the second level seating area that was right above the bar to collapse. This would be enough to smash the lava fist while they were still in the air and bring them to the ground before they could cause to much trouble, as well as crushing the man.
Rat was not worried about killing the lava man as his lava abilities seemed to say that he was a Logia eater which meant a balcony falling on him would do little to nothing to him so long as he saw it coming and had enough time to go lava. However, even if he didn't the crushed bullets by his feet meant he was durable so even if he didn't go lava or his abilities were not that of a Logia he should make it out with just a couple bruises and even more anger.
In this Life we are all responsible for our actions.
Ratchet calmly watched as chaos consumed the bar, she felt right at home. She loved the chaos it was like home to her and she allowed herself to smile as the newcomer's calmness stirred unease in the lesser marines. "Fetty" being so in sync she did not have to say much else as Fetty knew exactly what she wanted. Fetty bound up quickly and dashed between Ryuske and Tsai to stop his attacks.
She used this time to grab her whip and ready herself. With one crack of her whip she used her Honor's Downfall technique to snatch away the rum bottle from the newcomer. She brought the bottle to her lips just to be disappointed as he had finished the bottle in one go. "You know sharing is caring" She threw the bottle into the trash the whole scene happening extremely quickly. "Also Ryuske there is no need for us to get involved even with this newcomer we have them outnumbered let the mooks handle it".
The mooks in question began to look around nervously wondering if that was in order to attack or not. Ratchet lazily waved her hand as a way to assure them that this was their queue to attack. They looked around nervously then split into two groups two attacked Tsai and three attacked the newcomer. Ratchet did not think they had a chance but they very well could tire them out a bit before the main event.
In this Life we are all responsible for our actions.
Rat was amused at the pirates little escape plan, She had not been intending to attack him or arrest him, just talk to him and see where his head was at and see if she liked him. She actually needed pirates to become her informants and give her info on where to infiltrate next. After all she worked best when undercover as she was more pirate like than anything.
However her amusement turned to boredom quick once some preachy and sober marine crashed the party. She stood up and walked over to the commotion with Fetty who when standing on all fours was roughly about half her size. "What exactly is going on here". was all she had to say talking more to the boring Marine than anyone else.
In this Life we are all responsible for our actions.
Ratchet had been celebrating a recent bust of some pirates that she had just turned in. She did it not because they were pirates and she was a Marine she did it because she did not like them and they had disrespected her. She beat all five of them and arrested them before they could even realize what was going on. She was sitting in a bar with a bunch of other Marines drinking and having a good time.
Although she does not like Marines or hanging out with them she loves she drink and will drink with just about anyone. Her constant companion Fetty the Flamboyant was in his dire wolf form and hanging out laying by her feet. She was getting bored with her companions when she noticed someone familiar walk in. She did not know him from anywhere but she had just read the newspaper and recognized him from the breakout.
She got up and walked over to the new comer and sat next to him Fetty having followed her. "Hey you are a pirate I know you, hey pirate". None of the other marines followed her so it was just her and the pirate whose name she was blanking on. "It was very impressive you and your friends breaking out of the marine base ya'll most be strong and really good friends because not a lot of pirate crews would do that for one another". Rat looked in the guys direction "Yeah not a lot of Marines would do that for each other either" Fetty added in nonchalantly still resting at Rat's feet his head coming up to her waist.

Description
The user uses their whip cracks to bounce the head of their whip off surrounding objects.

The Hito Hito no Mi is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a human hybrid and a full human at will. By consuming the fruit, the user will be given human level intelligence allowing them to communicate with humans as well as the ability to speak the human language. This fruit gave the user the ability to transform into only two other form the human hybrid form and the full human form. Because of this the user of this fruit has much more control over the only two forms that they have access to at this level, though at later levels other forms will be unlocked. This fruit has the standard devil fruit weaknesses.
Forms
Hybrid form
Standing at eight feet tall this form combines the claws and fangs and generally savagery of a wold with the ability to be bipedal, thumbs and intellect of a human. Although he does not use this form much this is Fetty's favorite form among them and he feels as if this is his true self as he has never felt truly like a wolf and he is not a human. His claws and fangs can break through Rookie defenses and he also gains a howl that brings other wolves to come and fight with him (up to two at this level).
Human Form
After the debacle of his first transformation leaving him naked Rat got him some clothes that match hers perfectly. In this form he is a muscular man with tan skin and an athlete build. Besides basic human functions this form does not give him anything special.
Seemingly an ordinary leather gauntlet used to protect from slashing damage and such. However, one the underside of the gauntlet is a steel apparatus. The apparatus houses a hidden blade mechanism that can be activated with a hard flick of the wrist in order to spring forth the hidden blade from its sheath. The blade shoots out much like a bullet from a gun fast gun fast and hard but it never leaves the apparatus. The blade itself is about six inches long making it about the size of a dagger. This blade is not meant for sword fighting as the housing unit is subject to breaking if the blade is bashed too strongly. This is used more for cunning and quick stabs to an unsuspecting enemy. Though the gauntlet itself can protect from free form slashes it is not meant for Rookie or higher level attacks at this level.
He is a Dire Wolf which is the largest of the wolf family. Fetty has a lean body that adds to his speed and power. His legs are strong and sturdy allowing him to run continuously without tiring too quickly. He has black fur with a bits of red all across his body and green eyes. His eyes show an intelligence and comprehension that no other known creature of his genus shares. His tail is much longer than others of his species but like the rest of his species is merely for balance and has no other uses. He has long sharp fangs and retractable claws each about two inches long with his claws being a red color. He also has a sheath around his neck made special for his tomahawk so that he could pull it out and wield it in his jaws. He also carries a bow and arrow slung over his back for when he makes his transformation into a human.
■ Personality
Overall
As his name implies Fetty is quite flamboyant liking to show off and impress others around. He has a flair for drawing attention to himself both for being a rather large wolf as well as his red accents he seems to take particular pride in, let alone the tomahawk in his mouth that most would think he would not be able to wield in his wold form. Even before he could speak Fetty showed an understanding of the human language and even found a way to communicate back using his body movements. Fetty is a fierce and honorable warrior who has chosen Ratchet as his Alpha and will seemingly follow her to the ends of the earth simply because she commanded it.
■ History
Overall
Not much is known about Fetty's past as he does not like to speak on his past and whenever asked he just pretends to be a normal wolf that does not know how to speak. However what could be gathered from what Ratchet knows about him is that he was born on Baterila Island as one of the many attractions. He was dubbed Fetty the Flamboyant the only Dire Wold axe master. However the Handyman who controlled the Island's ugly underworld wanted the wolf as a status symbol and bodyguard. Fetty refused and put up quite the fight until his tomahawk was taken from him and he was locked in a cage. When Ratchet broke into the Handyman's office to steal the documents that would lock him away for good she spotted Fetty and did not hesitate to release him as well as giving him his weapon back which she had found but thought it was a weapon she did not know how to properly use. Because of this Fetty has decided to follow Ratchet as she is his pack leader. Since he has unofficially joined the marines. During one of their first missions together he ate an off looking fruit and gained the ability to turn into a man and a man wolf half-breed.
■ Combat
Special Abilities
Pack Loyalty As a pack animal Fetty's loyalty hardly ever wavers and it would take something of Intermediate level or higher to break his Rookie level loyalty to Ratchet. This also allows him a small boost in fighting ability whenever he feels he needs to protect Ratchet or other members of her pack.
Tank Fetty is amazingly durable. Most Rookie level attacks do less damage to his body then they should and while they can add up one or two strikes can just be brushed off. This also adds to his endurance allowing him to fight longer and harder than most.
Rat had always wanted to be a pirate and her clothes reflect this. She wears a modified pirate captain tricorn hate that resembles an eagles beak at the tip that partly covers her face. She also wears rather tight fighting top adorned with buckles and straps and all sot of other things to hold her weapons. She also wears tight pants that have no pockets and long thigh length high heeled boots, the navy have tried to get her to wear more sensible boots but she does not feel comfortable in flats. She also wears leather gauntlets on either forearm and finger less leather gloves though only one houses her hidden blade, a weapon that the navy does not approve of.
Rat is a very attractive girl when she wants to be. Her caramel skin complexion and hazel green eyes complimenting each other nicely.

She has the overall body type of a tomboy who filled out nicely thanks to puberty which was basically the case. PUBERTY EQUALS MAGIC
■ Personality
Overall
Ratchet is a tomboy by nature she likes to be out roughing it in nature sailing or fighting in a pub. She is lively and does not like when things become too stale or boring. She has a habit of trying to spice things up whenever she believes things are getting too boring and this has always gotten her in trouble. Which is just fine for her as she was always one to go looking for trouble as she believes that trouble and adventure go hand in hand. She does not truly believe in rules or order and thinks that justice means that making sure that everyone enjoys themselves to the fullest.
This makes her a terrible choice for the marines but sense she has been drafted she has done her job realizing that every action has a reaction. Which is to say that although she does not believe that there is a such thing as right and wrong because everyone has the right to do as they please there, that does not mean there are no consequences for your actions. Just like a pirate has the right to steal unguarded treasure she has the right to lock him up for it. This plays in nicely with her belief system as she can be as lenient with rules as she pleases not really caring about getting in trouble with the higher ups of the navy.

Ratchet began her life as Ayasha King the daughter of a prostitute and a random client whom was never a part of her life, she never really cared though her mother and the other girls in the brothel always looked out for her and taught her things. Other kids were nasty to her sometimes but she was always a scrapper and she enjoyed fighting so whenever anyone would make fun of her for not having a dad or her mom’s profession she would just beat them up.

Over the years her mother used most of her money to send her daughter to various schools and institutes that would give her everything she needed to know in order to become a pirate, Rat was a decent navigator and excelled in fighting which she would need if she planned to travel the seas as a woman. She learned sword fighting, whip fighting, and marksmanship. She even began to work on the streets as a pickpocket and a thief to help her mother pay for her formal teaching. This is where she learned that she had a silver tongue for merchant work.
She gained quite the reputation, so much so that the marines traveled to her island and gave her an ultimatum either be drafted or go to prison for thievery, although she had always wanted to be a pirate she would have to end up being a marine. After being drafted she was given several tests from survival to written and even martial to figure out what her status would be within the marine ranks. She was surprised to learn that she had almost qualified for a Commissioned rank however her tendency for not following rules bumped her from a potential ensign to Chore Boy.
Rat grew up on Baterila Island she knew that everything was not as sweet as it seemed. The island had a dark side, much like every other island in the world it had its own share of criminals and misfits that did not fit into the idea of the resort themed tourist sections of the island. However, the island did a very good job of hiding this side of itself from the tourist who never knew they were being robbed and stolen from and just enjoyed the spa and attractions.
When she was forced into becoming a part of the marines she vowed that she would come back and make the streets at least a little bit safer for people like her mother who was much too old to sell herself anymore so they were being extorted by an organized crime family that plagued the streets since Rat was a child. It was actually the leader of this organization who have Ratchet her nickname telling her that she was good to have around like the tool just in case. This was when he thought she was a boy, though when she began to grow breast he wanted her around for a completely different reason.
She knew the inner workings of Dino the Handyman and his band of criminals who called themselves the superintendents, which they thought was funny as they charged, people “rent” and protection money to be left alone. She knew it very well because not only did her mother used to be one of Dino’s favorite prostitutes when Rat was a child but Rat herself had also worked for him until he found out that she was a girl and wanted to change the nature of their relationship.
Until her mother had gotten too old for Dino, whom was in his 70’s and liked his women to be anywhere between 16-25, he and Rat had a very good relationship though afterward he began extorting her mother and beating her when she could not pay. Though before that it was Dino and his goons who taught Rat how to be a criminal and had even trained her on how to become a thief and pirate before seemingly just disappearing (having not told anyone she was drafted to the marines).
Now she was back to prove her worth to the marines, although those were not the words that they had used it is what she took the mission as. A way to show that they had not messed up by placing her at such a high rank straight out the draft especially since she had a habit of ignoring her higher ups and doing whatever she pleases. This was one of those instances she was supposed to stake out the mob and find evidence against them but not get directly involved or allow them to know that she was even on the island. She decided that this was stupid due to her inside knowledge and previous relationships with the gang she would be better to work undercover so that is what she did ignoring the warnings of her superiors that the gang may have heard about her being a marine.
She believed that waiting and looking out would be boring, and this way even if they do know that she is a marine she could just kick the shit out of them all and bring them in for attack marine personal which would be much more fun than searching for evidence to catch him and lock him away. However, they did not seem to know that she was drafted and just thought that she was sent away to learn to fight better which was partly true so she allowed them to believe just that saying that she was sent to Karate Island and that is where she learned Ryusoken. She was to reprise her role as thief for Dino to help her mother pay her “rent” which was just fine with her as it meant that while she conducted her investigation her mother would be safe from the abuse of The Handyman and his thugs.
Because she was now a Marine she could no longer actually steal for the gang. Something she lamented about but decided she was better off not causing an even bigger rift between her and the higher ups of the navy, especially after telling them that she had infiltrated the gang which was against her orders. So instead, whenever she was given an assignment to come up with certain items or a certain amount of money she would simply go to the useless marine base on the island and get more than enough money or a replica of the item.
One that would pass even the best underground test as their testers were nowhere near as good as the Marine forgers. The money was of course marked as were the items all of which was building a strong case against The Handyman though those items by themselves would not be enough to bring him to jail.
The whole pretending to work for him while slowly building evidence against him was much too slow. Rat had no intention to keep to this plan and only told her superiors this because what she was planning to do was technically illegal and they would not approve. She would incite a war between the superintendents and a lesser gang in the area and use the chaos to break into the handyman’s vault and get the real evidence against him that could put him away forever.
Though getting one of the lesser gangs to feel brave enough to attack would take some convincing she had a plan to handle that. Although it would take a few weeks she was confident that if she played her cards right the whole investigation would only last for two months which would make her the liberator of the village before her eighteenth birthday if that did not prove she belonged nothing would.
Her plan was a simple one she would take side jobs with the baker brothers a lesser gang that has been on the brink of making it big for years. It has even been said that if the Handyman were not around the baker brothers would be the top gang on the island. Of course she would receive permission from the Handyman as well as permission from the Marines to infiltrate this other gang before doing so. She would tell the Handyman that she had heard tale of a plot the brothers have to take him out and take over his business and work the angle of his spy.
To infiltrate the Baker Brothers she would tell them that the Handyman is getting weak in his old age and his control of his gang is slipping and because of that she was sent to his biggest threat to make sure that they did not try to move on him. However, she would tell them that she is sick of just being a small time runner and thief and that she would help them usurp the Handyman in a way that would have the superintendents working for them so they would take control of the island overnight and would end up with the power and respect that the Handyman had so long as they made her their number two in the organization.
Everyone on the island knew Rat’s worth and that having her on your side meant getting things that others could not as well as having an exceptional fighter on your side if things were to end up in a brawl. That bit of information plus an inside look into the Handyman’s operations was much too good an opportunity to pass up so she did not need to do too much convincing before she was accepted into the fold.
The next part of the plan came easy. It was basically just doing the same thing she was already doing but doing it for two gangs while simultaneously feeding the Handyman false information on how the brothers were mobilizing against him. While at the same time telling the brothers that Handyman was afraid that they would come and usurp everything he has created because he was growing weak. Of course neither of these things was true; the brothers were still very much afraid to move on the Handyman and the Handyman was still very much in charge showing no signs of weakening even in his advanced age.
Rat begun taking small measures that she knew her superiors would not like or approve of if they knew. This is part of the reason she did not report to them, the other being she did not want them to think that anything was changing and that she was following the orders given to her of just watching and reporting what she seen back to the marine base. She began small taking out small time runners for from the superintendents taking the illegal goods and the money they had on them back to the marine base. She would then tell the Handyman that his men were being hit by the brothers while going back to the brothers and saying that other gangs were seeing the weakness that the Handyman was showing and were trying to move in on territory that could easily be theirs.
Her plan was slowly working though she wanted to prod the progress on further she knew how delicate the process was. If she moved it too fast than she would blow it and her cover and her chance of getting the two gangs of the street permanently would be shot. She did not want to get a bunch of low level runners of the streets for a few years for assaulting a marine official she wanted more than that and she had a way to get it, a way to use the chaos a gang war would cause to her benefit to get enough evidence to put both gangs away for good, so long as the higher ups believed her story of her being giving the evidence for safe keeping (which of course would be a lie she planned on stealing it) then she would be golden.
The tension on the streets was slowly rising and rumors of a war breaking out soon were everywhere. This caused business for both sides to suffer as Rat knew it would as it was hard to operate on the street when you customers were scared that being around you would bring them into your war. Though it hurt organized crime and the protection rackets the most; people would not want to pay you to protect them if your name no longer caused fear because it was the fear that was the protection no what they could do to a person.
Anyone could hurt and/or kill someone else that is not what caused the protection business to prosper the way that it did. It was not the fear of being hurt but the fear and respect of the name so long as you had that name attached to you people would fear to cross you even if you are just some legit person paying money to the family so they would not terrorize your store, the fact that you were protected by them meant that disrespecting that store by messing with it or stealing from it was like disrespecting the name of the Handyman. For years the superintendents have lived rather comfortably because everyone knew that if you disrespected the name of the Handyman you paid the price.
During his youth when he first started coming into his name he had been a mysterious nobody just a drifter that randomly showed up one day he had no one following him and whenever someone asked his name he said he was the Handyman. Back then it was the Baker Brother’s gang that ran Baterila Island and a couple of their goons thought it would be funny to pick on the funny little kid with the odd name. At the time the Handyman was around fifteen years old he was skinny and he looked as if he never had a fulfilling meal in his life so they assumed they could take him.
What they did not know however was that he had run away from the Grand Line and was once the slave to a Celestial Dragon and was forced to fight for the family’s amusement. Because of this he was a trained fighter as most of the Celestial Dragon’s that were into slave fights had seen enough of untrained slave fighting and grew bored with it and begun training their slaves to fight telling them that if they won enough fights to win back the money spent to buy them then they could be free. Making the Handyman (which was his slave fighting name) a very dangerous man he defeated twenty five of the Baker Brother’s men before the two brothers (whose sons now control the gang) heard tale of it and decided to meet up with him.
The Baker Brother’s even then were business men they did not care for establishing their name through violence and only wished to gain the most Belli 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 meet 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.
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 Belli 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.
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.
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 did 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.
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 would 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.
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 families only son as a slave and promised that if they had any more children they would hear about and would come and take that child away as well. Their intention was to end the family line who though that they were equal with the likes of them.
Having been a spoiled child the Handyman, who could not remember is 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.
He was to fight for him. As well as providing him 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 Belli to do with whatever he wished. He took the deal then 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 Belli to do with as he pleases.
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 the first began and he would stack fights one after the other as if trying to get the Handyman to lose.
His 500th fight was his most grueling. Not because they 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.
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.
The Handyman would break off from the brothers and create his own gang choosing those that he brought to enforce with him within the brothers 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 because all the enforcers within the Baker Brothers gang was loyal to The Handyman and would turn on them if it were to come to a fight.
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 on 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.
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 missions 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 for 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.
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 as 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 Chore Boy Ayasha King.
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.
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.
This was an insult that the Handyman could not suffer and retaliated by blowing 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A large wolf with blue markings across his white 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 sword 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.
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 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.
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.
During this she found a beautiful sword that was much too long for her to wield 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.
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 sword 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 too arrest the men within the compound and to seize both headquarters she had a plan to end this right now.
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.
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 know were witnesses to testify and there would be no way either one of them would get away with a life imprisonment in impel down with the worst of the criminals.
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.
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 small fries on both sides. Both the elder brother and the Handyman were knocking out small fries as well.
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.
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 his 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.
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 has 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 Chore Boy King that she was supposed to call them before the fighting had started.
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.
■ Combat
Special Abilities
Street Rat Growing up on the street Rat learned a certain set of skills that she prides herself on. She has learned stealth, thievery, and bargaining. While her abilities with these three talents are far from the best they are noteworthy especially because she plans to better herself in each art. Though at her current Rookie level she can only pick locks and pockets of NPC's without using a tech and while she can steal pretty much whatever she wants from an NPC bigger things are harder to get away with. From PC's it is hard for her to steal even little things without a tech and picking simple locks takes time and anything more complex is beyond her without a tech. As for stealth she needs a tech in order to use anything stealth like at the moment. Her merchant skills are by far her best asset at this level she is able to get a 10% discount on buying things.
Speed Demon Rat is fast she was always fast and because of her training she will always be fast. Her speed is taken as far as a rookie could possibly take it. Her basic running speed would be the equivalent to a Rookie without a speed SA using a speed technique. This natural disposition to speed relates to her reflexes and reaction and while both are above the average neither is as high as a Rookie who has a reaction and reflex SA.
