Ryōshi

''"The ladder to chaos is one worth climbing!" ''

- Ryōshi

Ryōshi (猟師) is a wandering self proclaimed ronin with an apt for getting into rowdy and unskilled sword fights. Though despite this choice of life style, Ryōshi has proved multiple times that he is quite the adept swordsmen. Wielding numerous ancient styles of sword play Ryōshi has earned himself the reputation of the epithet "Ancient hunter".

His reasoning for such a high bounty despite no crew and sailing alone is majorly contributed from the factor of his knowledge of swordsmanship from the Void Century. Making him an incredible threat to the World government should his style of swordplay catch on in the world. As well as his constant meddling in affairs of the marines regardless of what island they are on. The fact that he merely wanders around from island to island makes him all the harder for the World Government to pre-determine where he will be, purely because of his spontaneous yet overly dramatic arrivals.

Appearance
Though he is almost always seen wearing no shirt, he actually does possess a fluorescent pink one that merges with the colour white in a diagonal pattern, using the shape of sakura petals to blend the two colours into one. However, this is an occasional thing dependant entirely on whether it is raining or not. He wears traditional bushido pants that are the colour of a stingy black, on occasion he will wear a red pair, mainly to match his shirt though, yet the bushido pants are always held around his waste by a red sash.

Attributes
Ryōshi is a primarily swift man, capable of creating after-images with his raw speed. However he can only reach so fast with his mortal body, he hopes to one day surpass his idol Jonathan D. Swift, considering him the World's fastest "Man". As Ryōshi claims that Logia users are merely cheaters, using mother nature to hinder a mortals chances. Nonetheless, his agile nature combined with his nightmarish strength and ancient skills are what makes him a formidable threat, as well as a high prioritised target by the World Government.
