Species: Human

Occupation: Cap'n

Allegiance: Bounty Hunters ( Crew: Crows Zero )

Home Village/Ocean: East Blue

Appearance:

An asian man with a broad back approaches you, his torso is naked and revealing a plethora of yakuza-like tattoos. Purple is the color that rules his chest and back the most and detailed japanese tattoos are woven in eachother and the sea of purple. Even his face is tattood with crosses and droplets, every single small tattoo on his face is a main target that has been taken out. Pirates. He detests them, all of them. He will go to hell and back if it meant taking out his supreme target. The one that caused Shinya to lead this life. But enough of that, now is the time to describe this huge man. With his hair in a short ponytail he strides around like he owns the place and his thin eyes with black pupils force down anyone brave enough to look him in the eye.

His two katanas with white hilts and decorated red snakes coiling around them are hidden beneath his sjawl around his waist, holding up his black silken pants, are sheathless and stained with dry blood but noticeably still sharp as a broken glass-shard stuck in your foot.

History: Shinya was a member of the ruling family over an oriental island in East Blue but when the pirates came they destroyed it all by means of their long-range power, their cannons. In melee combat they didn't stand a chance so they resorted to cowardly tactics and destroyed Shinya's home from afar.

His father, ashamed by this, gutted himself by means of harakiri and his mother and siblings were banished from their position of powers by other families. Living a life of poverty after having lived a life of having it all, made him bitter and angry. His only escape was in the surreality of the tattoo-art and the art of drawing.

After his mother confessed to him that they had one prized possession left, he discovered it was a Devil Fruit. The desire to have the power to destroy the pirates who did this to him, granted him the lack of morality to steal the Fruit and eat it. The power granted to him was the power of the Paint-Paint Fruit. One that went along greatly with his interest and abilities.

He spent years after that practicing his family's swordfighting style, using one katana and dual wielding them was as easy as moving his arms. They became extensions to his arms in a way, just as his pencil, charcoal and tattoo instruments.

Personality: Angry and bitter when it comes to pirates or discussing his past, but aside from that he is a respectful, reliable and usually friendly and well-mannered person. He dislikes dishonorable actions, such as the ones pirates undertake: Pillaging, brawling, looting, stealing, raping are all deadly sins to him, sins that must not be left unpunished. He enjoys spending time drawing, making tattoo sketches and painting surreal and abstract art aswell as detailed realistic art.
