Sage

Introduction
Sage is the first mate of the Angler Pirates and the childhood friend of Kajiki.

Appearance
Sage is a tall, muscular man with dark blue, slicked back hair. He wears an open, light blue and yellow green Hawaiian shirt. He usually wears a pair of jean shorts, but sometimes switches to a pair of green and yellow swim trunks. He keeps his odachi in his hands at all times.

In his hybrid form, his teeth sharpen to points and his eyes and face become lizard-like. Blue feathers with green tips sprout from his head and his arms. He grows a blue-feathered tail and his feet become bird-like claws.

Personality
Sage is a clear-headed individual. He prefers to remain serious, but, unlike his captain, he will laugh when he finds something funny. He even maintains his clear-headed attitude when in combat, remaining calm even if the odds are against him. This is because he knows that even one second of panic can spell defeat.

Swordsmanship
Sage is a capable swordsman. However, his skills are unorthodox because he isn't trained in any specific style. He usually just uses the speed afforded to him by his Devil Fruit abilities in combination with his heavy odachi to quickly overpower opponents. This involves broad, wild swings of his sword instead of calculated movements used by most swordsmen. Even still, this style works for him.

Physical Strength
Sage is very strong, as he is able to swing his heavy odachi with amazing speed. He was even able to knock out a sea king with one punch.

Agility
Sage is quite fast. This speed is only accentuated by his Devil Fruit powers. He is easily the fastest member of the crew.

Endurance
Sage, like the other crew members, has amazing endurance. Through numerous fights along his journey, he has learned to withstand heavy injuries and continue fighting.

Weapons
Sage carries aroung a large odachi with an ornate hilt that looks like a golden lily with a blue stem. The odachi is fairly heavy, but Sage is able to wield it almost effortlessly with his amazing strength.
