Leon Spitman

"Heh, I wanted to use you, you were the perfect person I could have used to get away and make my escape. It's strange, I never thought I'd ever feel obligated to follow someone again. I'll go with you, Captain Rio"Leon Spitman ( レオン龍 Reon Spitman) also known as "Pillar Master Leon"  is a pirate and the muscian / arceoligist for the Black Star Pirates. Leon is the ninth member of the crew and the eighth member to join.

Leon has always had a passion for history, visiting countless sights and ruins to discover more information regarding the Void Century. As a kid, it was during one of his digs with some of his friends in a sand country that led him to finding a cursed seal book, that would plague his body until he found a cure.

Leon ate the Tote Tote no Mi, giving him the powers to create totem poles where he sees fit and can even command the Totem poles as if they were alive. This has given him the nick name Pillar Master.

The curse that fell upon Leon marked his body with several red tatoos resmebling snakes. Leon states that the curse will eventually cover his entire body in tatoos unless he can find a cure for it, explaining why he spends rigorous amounts of time researching different ruins in search of an antidote. This led him to join the Black Star Pirates, as they at the time were a powerful crew and he needed protection against the World Government. However, Leon did not expect that he would come to love the crew and chose to officially become a member, hoping to sail the seas with them while finding the cure to his dire problem.

For aiding in the mission of rescuing a sentenced criminal from death, stealing a volume of guarded a guarded encyclopedia that has information on the Void century, and defeating Marine Rear Admiral Donma, a bounty of 120,000,000 has been placed on his head.

Appearance
 Pre-Time Skip   

Back when he as a kid, Leon looked alot like his pre time skip self and had the same hair style and tatoo on his face. The difference was that he was just a kid so he was quite small and worse a ragged red shirt and brown shorts.

As a young adult, Leon has black hair, with a strong bluish tint laced all over it. Along with his tinted blue hair, he has deep blue eyes and a pale toned skin complextion. Beneath his left eye, he has twin upside down peach colored triangles, most likely drawn on as some sort of tatoo. He reaches a height of about 5"8 and is known for his long lanky legs.

Leon is considered to be very handsome and just like his captain, he has quite a few female followers who are naturally charmed by his good looks. Along with that, Leon is a lean, well built, and althetic man who trains every single day on board the ship.

His usual outfit consists of a white shirt with blue stripes on the shoulders down the arm, with zippers making the sleeves able to be undone. He wears black tight jeans below his waist and wears a pair of white shoes with metal studs attached to them.

One of Leon's most noticeable traits is the totem like chain that is chained on to the left side of his jeans. This chain is also the embodiment of his devil fruit, the Tote Toe no Mi and as such has the apperance of the totems he can create.

Unvisible to people when he wears clothes over top, but on his chest and around his torso are red line markings that cover a good majority of his body. On his chest is a symbol of a zombie and is most likely were the red markings originated from.

Leon has a hard time keeping his usually composed frown because most if not all of the time, his crew mates always try to make him life to the point where he can barely have time to reflect on his life situation.

Post-Time Skip
While Leon's change during the time skip is not as prominent as Rio's or Tidus's, he still shows quite a bit of growth with his new look. He has grown a few inches taller, reaching just up to Rio's face now compared to pre time skip where he barely reached his shoulder.

He has gained a formal desert muffler that he uses to cover the space between his shoulders and a portion of his torso. It seems that Leon has also become leaner and has matured with his face, to the point where he looks like the older brother of his past self.

Instead of one Totem chain around his left pants, he has now added a second one, most likely symbolizing that he has gained newfound strength with his Devil Fruit.

While it is uncertain whether the tatoo grew substantially or not, it has at least seem to have made it's way to his back completely and now has taken the color of a more blackish tatoo. The reasoning behind this is still unclear, but it may have something to due with his absence during the two year time skip.
