Guddo Rakku

Introduction
Guddo Rakku (グッド・ラック) is a free-lance swordsman who bounty hunts for a living. All the enemies that he has defeated have referred to him as the "Weapon Executioner" due to his tendency to break his opponents’ weapons during their fights. As he wanders around, he seeks duels with swordsman to become stronger and goes on treasure hunts to satisfy his quench for adventure. He saves many people as he can as he spots troubles caused by criminals and vicious pirates. He is wanted by the Marines for defeating infamous pirates and committing many eat & runs crimes; however, he pays his tabs a few days afterwards with the money he earned from turning in criminals that he defeated. Despite this, the Marines attempt to capture him every time Rakku wants the reward for his bounty hunting service. Rakku still receives the money by robbing marine banks but only the specific amount of the bounty that he deserved. Unknowns to him, he has a second epithet that was given to him by the people that he saved, "The Great Wind."

Appearance
Rakku is a lean yet muscular, average sized young man with blue spiky hair. He usually has a happy expression on his face or has a bored look. He always carries around his two swords, Ryuuzan Tenjousaku and Akai, in sheaths bundled up in his black silk obi (sash) with gold lining on his left hip, allowing him to easily draw them with his right hand. He would also have 3 different omamoris (Japanese amulets) hanging on the right side of his black silk robe. He has a red omamori that displays the kanji, 愛、which means love, a blue omamori that displays the kanji, 精神, which means spirit, and a yellow omamori that displays the characters, お守り, which means divine protector. On the other side of the omamoris, the red one has a flower design, the blue one has a fire design, and the yellow one has a picture of pandaman. He would replace the amulets once a year to ward off bad luck from the previous year according to tradition.

Rakku always wears a blue cotton robe over his T-shirt. On the back of the robe, the kanji of wind, 風、 is boldly displayed in black. He usually wears a red or yellow Criminal brand T-shirt underneath but its design varies from time to time with dragons, skulls, crazy kanji, weapons, jokes, or just plain color. He consistently wears his T-shirt untucked with lightly loose black or dark blue trousers with a imbed floral design that cuts below the knee. He wears sandals without socks because he hates wearing socks and enjoys feeling the air with his feet.

Rakku's body is covered with many small scars from his intense swordsman training, hunting down pirates and criminals, and frequent duels with other swordsmen. The most notable scars that he acquired are a large diagonal one that runs across his chest during the Berserk Pirate Incident at Wano and a massive scar that resembles a lightning bolt from the front of his upper right chest to his back when he lost against with the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk, in a duel. In addition, he received multiple scars from Psycho the Walking Guillotine. He gave Rakku two scars on his neck (one on each side) from his attempt to decapitate him, two long scars on each arm, a scar on his left hand by a stab wound, one scar that goes around his right arm after cutting his right arm off and from reattachment surgery, three large horizontal scars on his chest and a large X-shaped scar on his back. On his right arm, he has a tattoo of the cross and crescent moon mustache symbol that resembles a silhouette of Whitebeard's Jolly Roger to signify his friendship with the Whitebeard pirates, mainly, Ace and Vista.

As a memento to his deceased childhood friend, Sakaya, he wears her black kimono obi (sash) with gold lining around his robe as a men's belt.

Personality
Guddo Rakku is an adventurous person who wants to live life to it fullest. He would get excited at any mention of treasure and would try to look it for the joy of the hunt. If he sits still, he would try to do something or sleep, as he hates boredom. If he gets so bored to a certain point, he would do something bizarre like rapidly jumping all over the place while claiming that he is a ghost, make drum sounds by banging his sheathed sword on buildings while singing nonsense, just play a game he just made up on the spot, or talk by himself with multiple personalities. Rakku has a child-like personality and behaves naively when it comes to flashy and incredibly large objects and animals especially cats and dragons. Rakku enjoys comedy and loves to hear jokes and laugh at them whenever he could. He loves to make witty comments and jokes to make his friends laugh which is well implemented in his strategies in psychology warfare against his opponents. Overall, he loves laughter as he sees it as a sign of joy and harmony. He has a slight temper whenever anyone insults or makes fun of any idea that he come ups when a decision is needed which he reacted with a childlike trantum. His ideas are so unusually creative, they are bizarre and when his ideas actually work, people around him are always so surprised and shocked to the point that they even questioned their own sense of reality. As a result, his friends always described him as a crazy and unpredictable guy as they can not keep up with his bizarre actions and what he's thinking at the moment.

Even though, he travels alone around the world, he actually seeks out for companionship so he would not be lonely. He values his friends more than his life and would do anything to protect and save them even at the cost of his life. Ever since he saw his childhood friend, Sakaya, die in his hands, he blamed himself for being so helplessness and not to be able to save her. He still feels sorrow from her death to this day and kept her obi that she wore on the day she died (sash) as a reminder to his failure to save her in the past. Ever since, he became determined to not let anyone die in front of him again no matter what and even went so far to persistently follow Kozuka, a legendary swordsman, everywhere he goes including dangerous terrains that a normal person would not survive in, to ask him to personally train him in swordsmanship. Rakku believed that if he could become the strongest swordsman in the world, no one would have to die because he would be able to protect them. Even though, Kozuka continuously refused to train him and told him to get lost, Rakku still hung around him and tried to copy his sword style and his training exercises despite the fact that he could easily die from even attempting to imitate his rigorous abnormal training regime. Finally, after one year of doing so, Kozuka finally gave in after being so impressed with his annoying but impressive determination and officially took him as an apprentice. Rakku's goal to become the strong to help others in similar situations that he experienced before, has developed his protective and good-willed nature towards others even strangers which reach to the point he becomes a overly-obsessive worrywart concerning the safety of his friends. He would help anyone in danger without asking for anything in return; however, he would not be too immoral to ask for food after he finishes a fight. Because of his bold actions, unknowns to him, the people that he saved would refer to him as "The Great Wind" as they would recognize the Wind Kanji on his back as a sign of heroism.

Whenever he fights, if the situation demands it, he would try to lead his opponent into less crowded areas to prevent any causality. He also prefers to not let people especially the children to oversee his fights, as he did not want their innocence to be ruined if the fight becomes ugly. He also prefer to fight battles (especially life or death battles) by himself and even kept certain facts and secrets to himself as he doesn't want anyone else to get involved with danger which annoys his comrades as they see him as a stubborn and stupid person who does not put enough trust in other to take care of themselves in serious situations. Whenever he is with children, his usual behavior converts into a caring parental nature even in drastic situations since he feels as ease with them since they remind him of his youth and wanted them to live out their youth untainted unlike his. He likes to fight as he finds battles as a thrilling experience and good way to exercise but he does not like to kill as he sees life as an irreplaceable and precious thing. He would seek out duels with other swordsman in order to become stronger and perfect his fighting skills especially his swordsmanship. He would not care how much stronger his opponents as he sees it as an interesting challenge to overcome and to become stronger faster. He would usually bond with his opponents in his sword duels even if they do not get along, they would still respect each other's strength no matter whom the victor of the duel is. Afterwards, they would party, share their life stories, and truly become friends. This is how he bonded with his first friend that is a pirate, Joudan the Laughing Omen, Captain of the Conman Pirates. Afterwards, he even bonded with Flower Vista, the 5th commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, whom introduced him to FireFist Ace and afterwards, Whitebeard. Rakku decided to bounty-hunt for a living as a way to protect the weak from the strong.

He could have joined the Marines after he finished his training with his master but he thought that he lose some of his freedom to explore the world. In addition, he felt that there was something about odd about some of the Marine officer's sense of justice when he met them at Nikki Island when he assisted them in the capture of a pirate crew, The Origami Pirates. Ever since, he felt that he could not completely trust the Marines and remain cautious of their actions. Rakku despises pirates ever since the Berserk Pirate Incident resulted in the destruction of his hometown and the death of his childhood friend, Sakaya. However, his perception on pirates changed after he met Joudan even though they had a rocky start in their friendship, he got rid his first bad impression on pirates and started to view pirates in a different light and decided that there are actually good pirates after all. Ever since, he became friends with more pirates (if he thinks they are good pirates) and decides not to collect their bounty since he would not want to turn in a friend to the Marines. As for the pirates and criminals he does not like, he would collect their bounty and turn them in the Marines after defeating them. Rakku usually break his opponents' weapons as a sign to them that he destroy their beliefs and sense of justice and the so-called strength that they believe in, which earned him the title, "Weapon Executioner," which all of those he defeated seem to unanimously agree as they debated that Rakku is a weapon that killed them by ridding of their purpose in life. Rakku would even go over the line to kill criminals if they incur his wrath by killing someone close to him or others. If he ever sees someone showing signs of weakness in dangerous and serious situations, he would forgive for being scared but if they could have done something, he would berate for being weak-minded and would encourage them to fight for their beliefs even by unorthodox methods. Whenever Rakku runs out of money and is starving, he would commit eat & run flawlessly although many times, he was very close to be captured by the Marines. Rakku would feel guilty for his actions so he would try to pay back his restaurant bills as possible after collecting a bounty on a criminal he capture. However, after committing so many eat & runs and becoming infamous for defeating many dangerous pirates, it has become more difficult for him to collect his bounties, as the Marines would try to capture him whenever he tries to collect his reward for defeating and turning in wanted criminals. As a result, he had to rob Marine banks to get his specific amount of reward that he deserves for his bounty-hunting service. Because of his crimes, Rakku becomes very cautious whenever he is around Marines because he was always tired of escaping from the Marine's relentless pursuits. Especially since he cannot seriously hit them since they have done anything wrong and just serving their duty as Marine Officers. Too well for Rakku's standards.

Abilities and Powers
For further information: Guddo Rakku's Fighting Style

Guddo Rakku is a powerful fighter and has become a famed bounty hunter for defeating many infamous pirates especially his most notable victory against Psycho the Walking Guillotine. He has even been recognized by Vista, the 5th commander of The Whitebeard Pirates and Mihawk the Greatest Swordsman in the world even though he is not on par with their level of swordsmanship; however, they acknowledge his current strength and true potential. Ever since the news of him defeating Psycho spread across the world, the World Government even invited him to become a Shichibukai but he turned it down because he did not want to share his portion for the treasure, did not want be recognized as a ally of the World Government and Marines, and felt that he would lose some of his freedom if he did join.

Swordsmanship
After 10 years of training by his master, Kozuka, he became a powerful swordsman, as he is exceptionally skilled Ittoryu (One Sword Style) and proficient in Nitoryu (Two Swords Style). He is especially known for rendering enemy's weapons unusable with his main weapon, Ryuuzan Tenjousaku, a 3 3/4 ft long black katana by breaking them which is why his opponents refer to him as him as his epithet, Weapon Executioner. He also carries a red wakizashi, 1 ft long blade. He is most comfortable with Ittoryu and use Ryu-Iaido (a powerful type of quick sword-style) to land finishing moves onto his opponents. Against multiple opponents or to throw off his enemy's flow, he will use Nitoryu with his two swords to extend his range and flexibility. He is able to swing his sword in the air to create powerful and fast air compressed projectile attacks that can cut ships and steel in half even without his devil fruit. He can even apply his devil fruit ability to the swings of his sword to further strengthen his air compressed projectile attacks. He can create curve, twist, straight, and even tornado air slashes. He is ambidexterous but he is a natural right-hand user.

Weapon Expert
Very proficient in other weapons involving blades and poles but not much as with a katana. This skill is very useful if he does not have his two main weapons, Ryuuzan Tenjousaku and Akai, at the moment and needs to improvise. This includes spears such as naginata and bisento, sai, knives, ax, kusarigama, bo-staff, rapier, etc. However, for some reason, whenever he uses any sort of ammunition weapon, Rakku's accuracy is much lower than an average human which usually ends up in unintentional injuries even to himself. He would have use the ammunition weapons at zero point-blank to actually hit someone.

Hand to Hand Combat
He is a master in Aikido and Savate.

Savate
He uses Savate (A graceful kickboxing style) in conjunction with his swordsmanship to make his moves more difficult to read if he fights against a difficult opponent by kicking them sometimes.

Aikido
He would only use Aikido if he could not use his swords or other weapons at the moment, against opponents that he deem much weaker than him, or to defeat someone without injuring them at all. Aikido involves blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on, which requires little strength.

Physical Strength
Rakku mainly uses his swords for combat but his ability to break weapons with one swing of his sword lies in his intense muscle strength. He can easily wield Ryuuzan Tenjousaku, an unusually heavy katana (about 13 lb) with such ease and elegance. He can break rocks, heavily dent and crush steel, break a tree in half with a punch or a kick. At one time, he picked up a stone pillar within 2 seconds and used it as a club against Hayaku when he tried to weaken his legs. His most notable feat of strength was when he picked up a pirate ship filled with pirates he defeated and threw it at a marine base because he did not want to bother taking the pirates one by one to the base to collect his bounty. Thus, he has superhuman strength.

Agility
Rakku's speed is quite extraordinary. He can run abnormally fast for a human and can perform Soru on par with a CP9's Soru. Ever since he fought against Spine, a CP9 agent, he was able to use Soru from merely observing his Soru. Thus he has super speed but when he uses soru along with his Devil Fruit ability, he can even become much faster and perform a faster version of Kamisori (combination of Geppou and Soru) which he calls Lightning Walf. Overall, he is very difficult to defeat in aerial battles as his Devil Fruit ability along with his superhuman speed, allows him to have extremely fast movements in three dimensions. He is also an expert in Parkour which is a practice of navigating through obstacles in the most efficient way as possible, using only their bodies. He can employed skills such as jumping, climbing, vaulting, rolling, swinging and wall scaling.

He can also jump at astonishing heights even without using his devil fruit ability.

He can even dodge bullets and deflect them with his sword back to the shooter with ease. His reflexes in counterattacking, blocking, and dodging almost every attacks are at such an incredibly frightening level especially since he can easily dodge at hair length, people have wondered if he can read their minds or even see the future. His reflex skills have become even much higher with Kenbunshoku Haki, which he has already mastered. Arguably, his enemies have found it very hard to land a fatal or killing blow on him. Some have even proudly proclaimed that they even landed a small blow on Rakku even if they were utterly defeated by him.

Endurance
Rakku has an abnormal tolerance to pain. He can withstand cannonballs on his body at mid-range for a short period of time. He endured many gunshot wounds on his back during a shoot out. When he fought against a giant called Hayaku the Steel Hornet, he received 5 stab wounds from steel poles thrown at him at high speed and a kick from him and still stood up afterwards even though Hayaku specializes in Tae-Kwon-Do. He managed to survive through the Battle of Marineford War despite suffering from many fatal injuries. In his early days of bounty-hunting, he survived many life-threatening injuries from his sword duels and life or death battles especially his most fatal one from Psycho the Walking Guillotine when he had his right arm chopped off one time and continued to fight with his other arm with other fatal wounds. Luckily, he had reattachment surgery in time and was able to rehabilitate in the half of amount of expected full recovery time.

Psychological Warfare
Rakku likes to employ tricks and irritate his opponents to get an advantage over his opponents mentally. He can annoy and confuse anyone by insulting them and talk about nonsense if he has the intention to do so. This skill is very useful to distract opponents during battle and cause them to make mistakes and create small openings, which he can take advantage of to secure a victory in battle. He acquired this ability along with ventriloquism after becoming friends with a pirate named Joudan the Laughing Omen, whom he has a close victory with.

Also Rakku sometimes create air compressed projectiles with only his swordsmanship or by his Fuku Fuku no Mi powers to confuse or scare his opponents. Since there is no way to tell whether or not the winds created by Rakku are normal or from his devil fruit powers by just looking at them at all, no one can tell except Rakku if he is creating normal or Fuku Fuku air compressed projectiles. As a result, opponents would become fearful as they wonder if the winds he created will blow away their good luck and cause them to have unfortunate accidents or not. This mental attack usually leads to the opponents to make mistakes and openings that Rakku can easily take advantage of and deliver the finishing blow.

Sometimes, he would use ventriloquism to pretend to be Ryuuzan to trick his opponents to believe that he actually transformed into a dragon thanks to the power of the devil fruit, Tatsu Tatsu no Mi: Model Earthland Dragon, or just to weaken his enemies. When he moves out of their sight, he would ask Ryuuzan to take over and transform into Dragon and attack his enemies while Rakku sits back and observe the battle. Meanwhile, Rakku would use ventriloquism to send his voice and speak while syncing with Ryuuzan's mouth movements. Rakku would then eventually reveal himself and intervene after either wanting to fight the enemy directly again due to boredom, just felt like doing so, Ryuuzan is in trouble, or to prevent Ryuuzan from killing his target and/ or causing too much destruction before it's too late. Afterwards he would show his enemies his true devil fruit powers if the enemy survives Ryuuzan's attacks before Rakku intervenes.

Ryuuzan Tenjousaku
For further information: Tatsu Tatsu no Mi: Model Earthland Dragon

A 45 1/2 in (3 ft 9 1/2 in) long and unusually heavy (about 13 lb) black katana with a 2 ft 5 1/4 in long blade and a 1 1/3 ft long handle, that is on par with the 12 Saijō Ō Wazamono Grade Swords,, the highest quality swords in the world. Rakku mainly uses this sword for combat and this sword has "consumed" the Tatsu Tatsu no Mi: Model Earthland Dragon. Legends have said that this blade is forged from a tooth of a slayed dragon. Ironically, this sword ate a Mythical Zoan devil fruit that transformed it into a dragon. Rakku nicknames his sword/ dragon Ryuuzan. Ryuuzan can light itself on fire by breathing fire onto itself in all of its three Zoan forms. The sword is incredibly durable and sharp and it is designed to break and cut through any weapon. The material originally used to be almost as tough as seastone but after consuming a devil fruit, now it is hard as seastone. It can also behave as a whip when it is in its dragon-hybrid mode since it could change its blade into a tail.

Akai
A 1 ft long red wakizashi (short sword) which Rakku uses in desperate situations when he no longer has Ryuuzan Tenjousaku to use as a weapon. Alternatively, to use along with Ryuuzan Tenjousaku to practice Nitoryu.

Devil Fruits
For further information: Fuku Fuku no Mi

Rakku has gained extraordinary powers from consuming this Devil Fruit. He can generate wind by body motions and could also apply this ability to the swing of his swords, which powers up and increase the range of his air slashes. He can create tornados by spinning his whole body or parts of his body and also apply this to his sword swings. His winds can cause his body movements to move faster by creating winds with his feet that will blow in the opposite direction, which pushes his body towards his destination. This devil fruit also given him to have an incredible agility in air. He can walk, run, and jump on air, which can prevent him from drowning in the ocean. He can surf in the air if he rides on an object along a natural or self-generated wind current. If his self-generated winds are used against any living being (including himself) and any objects that behaves as a charm, the wind will literally blow away the target's good luck. Afterwards, Rakku can blow the good luck into himself or to others to receive good luck. Unfortunately, he cannot turn off the wind's ability to blow away good luck and decide which specific misfortune or fortune events happen to the affected party.

Family
In Wano, Guddo Rakku has a father and mother who is currently living in a neighboring village, Habaki, after their hometown, Tsuba, was destroyed by the Berserk Pirates. His parents still worry about his safely as he travels around the world as a bounty hunter but value his resolve to help people. Anytime Rakku comes back to the New World, he would always to come back to his home country to visit his parents.

Sakaya
Rakku has known Sakaya ever since they were babies. They always visited each other houses and play together with the wackiest games that they spontaneously made up. The game that they usually play is "Slay the Dragon," where one of them is a dragon and the other is a swordsman. For some reason, Rakku always plays the role as the dragon as he likes to make monster sounds and playing the villain role. They were always seen together as children and whenever they fight each other, they would laugh it off after eating ice cream. Ever since Sakaya's death, he wears her black obi with gold lining (which she wore on the day of her death), as a way to mourn her death and to always reminds himself that he was helpless to prevent his best friend to die. Whenever he returns to Wano, he would always buy a bouquet of her favorite flowers, sunflowers, to place on her grave and talk to himself of their good times together.

1504 AOP
Guddo Rakku was born in Tsuba, Wano in the New World on July 13th.

Devil Fruit Ordeal
While playing with other kids at the Tamahagane River near his hometown, Tsuba, Rakku ate the Fuku Fuku no Mi after finding one floating in the river. He immediately threw up due to the overwhelming disgusting taste of the fruit. He still had no knowledge that he ate a devil fruit.

Berserk Pirate Incident
In his home village, Tsuba, Rakku went to the Sakura Festival along with his childhood friend, Sakaya. In the middle of the event, the Berserk Pirates' Ship was spotted at the Northern shore of Wano. They launched many cannonballs into the village before they landed onto shore and raid into the village. The infamous pirate known for by stealing rare swords from their welders after killing them and mincing them to almost nothing with his giant sword (12 ft long black sword) known as God-Killer, with a bounty of 200,400,000, Machete the Berserker, Captain of the Berserk pirates, lead the attack as local swordsman and police attempt to hold back the attacks. As Sakaya and Rakku try to escape the chaos, he was injured by nearby cannonball explosions and became unconscious for 5 minutes. After he woke up, he could not move due being piled by many building rubble. While he was trapped, he watched helplessly as he watched the ongoing chaos of people being killed. Sakaya came back with her dad, Tak, tried to set him by lifting the rubble away but unfortunately, Machete found them and prepared to swing his sword to try to kill Sakaya first. However, Tak pushed her out the way to take the killing blow for her. Tak was sliced in half in front of the kids as Sakaya has a look filled with fear and horror.

As Machete readies himself to attack Sakaya, she tries to escape but she tripped and miraculously received a large cut on her back instead of instant death. Machete grunts in irritation and pulled his sword to back to attempt to stab her, as she cannot move due to the overwhelming pain. As Rakku watched helplessly as he sees Machete about to kill, her, his mind snapped and flew into a rage. He gathered all his strength and push the rubble on top of him out of the way while doing a battle cry. This distracts Machete for a moment as Rakku picks up a sword and rushes toward him while using Tempest Dash. After a sword clash, Rakku's broken sword flew into the sky and he fell after received a large slash across his chest. Machete laughs evilly as he called him a weak brat and kicked him multiple times. Then, he kicked Rakku across the field and walked slowly toward to finally kill him. Sakaya was still conscious as she saw the whole ordeal, crawled towards Machete, and grabbed his feet before he could deliver a final blow. Machete decides to kill Sakaya instead since he did not like being touched by filthy brats. Rakku screams while begging Machete not to kill her. Then a second later, Rakku's sword fell from the sky, impaled Machete’s head from the top, and killed him.

Afterwards, Rakku walks up to Sakaya and she smiles as she hugs him since she was happy that he is alive. However, she dies in front of him as Rakku noticed that her wound is much deeper that he thought which led to massive amount of blood loss. Rakku screams in despair as he realizes that she died and went into a furious rage as he attempts to kill all the Berserk Pirates with Machete’s sword. After waking up 3 days later with the black sword that he stole aside him, he learns that the Berserk Pirates left the island after being held off by the Swordsman Military force and that their captain is dead.

Luck

 * My, My! Today is your unlucky day! I wonder why? Is it because of me? NO!, It's karma finally giving you what you deserve, Divine Justice!!!
 * This is not my lucky day! I knew I should have pick up a four-leaf clover before I gotten in this mess!
 * You ran out of luck the moment you have met me! And I intend to keep that way!
 * Whoa, Haven't seen a person with such good luck for a long time! Even my powers will have no effect on him. He's just too damn lucky!
 * Hmmm, why is it that every person with the middle initial D are not affected by my devil fruit ability? Are they just too damn lucky? Maybe I should make my middle name D.
 * ......So even a person with the will of D can run out of luck. Sorry, I couldn't save you, my friend.
 * Wealth? Fame? Power? Those things do not matter if you are unlucky in this cruel world!
 * WAHAHAHA!!! You say you can't do anything right because you have bad luck? Then create your own good luck! By BELIEVING IN YOURSELF, DAMN IT!!! Now get your ass out there and do something about it or else!, I'll kick your ass along with theirs!
 * I may have talk about luck a lot but I actually don't believe in it! People blame their misfortune on this so-called mystical force but they are just making excuses! However, because of my devil fruit, now people can use me as an excuse! Even me!
 * Do you feel lucky today? If you do, not anymore!
 * So! Wanna test your luck against me?!
 * Oi! Oi! Oi! Do you actually think that all of those good luck charms hanging all over your body will prevent you from having an unfortunate accident?! Wahaha...sigh...Nice try, but no miracle will save you from me! Unless I or God decide so but that doesn't look like it's going to happen since you really pissed me off!!!
 * Wow! This is really my lucky day! I haven't had one like this like forever!......Wait a minute....that means for the rest of the week! It would be like hell for me! WHY ME?!!!!!! WHY?!!!!
 * Most people don't realize that they are already lucky.
 * There is nothing else I have to do you now. Your lack of good luck should lead to your demise....right about now....And there it is. I will not let you have a honorable death, instead you will die in a pathetic way, a stupid accident you could have avoided but didn't, like the piece of S#!* you are.

Duels

 * Hmph, you are ready to kill others so you really can't complain about being killed. In other words, I'm going to kill you.
 * Yo, Wanna duel?
 * Am I annoying you?! Am I annoying you?! Am I annoying you?! No?! Okay, I'll try harder! You suck! How about now?! I like pancakes! Do you like pancakes? With a side of Whoop Ass! Why is your face looks like it's going explode? I think I'll distance myself to get a better view of the bloody fireworks that going to happen!
 * I like you so I will say sorry in advance, because I am going to make you hate me so I can beat you. So please do not blame me when I insult you and your entire being. After all, I did warn you in advance since I am a nice guy until now. Okay, let your psychological breakdown begin!
 * I'm a dragon! Fear my power! I breathing fire! Fire! Fire! BWAHHH!!!!! Just kidding! So did you like my pet dragon? He's very good at destroying stuff and very helpful for making barbecue! For some reason, his fire breath make meat taste much better than using normal fire.
 * HELLO!!!!! BOUNTY!! You're going to pay for my meals for the next week! Thanks! I was just in the mood for some elephant tuna!

Meaningful

 * Devil Fruit? So this is the name of the curse I have. I do not care how evil this power is! It's not a curse! This precious gift has been given to me for a reason! This special power, I'll make sure that I use it responsibly! I'll make sure that no one dies from a ordeal like that again! I do not want to be helpless anymore!
 * Master! Even though, you still do not acknowledge that you are my master, you are my master! I may be weak now but I will still become the greatest swordsmen in the world even without your guidance. I will follow you anywhere you go and copy your techniques whenever you practice or fight. No matter what, you still just have to deal with an annoying brat like me! So what's it going to be? Ow!
 * I have gotten stronger over these years from harsh training and from fighting in many battles. And yet....yet....I have failed to protect another person dear to me! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! Why? Why was I given this devl fruit if I can't even perform a miracle that could have saved my best friend! First Sakaya, Ace, Whitebeard, and now him?!!! HOW THE F@CK am I supposed be the strongest swordman in the world now after this just happened!!!! DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * What I am going to do now?.... Isn't it obvious? I'm going to take revenge and prevent any more future victims from that psychotic bastard even it costs my life! I don't want to see anyone suffer like this anymore! NO ONE HAS TO DIE ANYMORE! Don't get in my way!!!! I want to kill him as soon as possible!!

Humor

 * I reject your reality and substitute it with my own! It's much more interesting that way but most of time, this world is already so interesting so I rarely do this.
 * Oh! My! God! It's a dragon! A dragon! A real live dragon! My sword! Turn into a dragon! A dragon! Not just a dragon, but it's also a black dragon! I'm so lucky! And it breathes fire! This is the best day ever! I got a dragon! A DRAGON!!!!!! And that dragon is never burning down the forest...AWESOME!!!!! Am I supposed to do something else now...Naaahhh! Now how I do celebrate this wonderful occasion?......Pipe down! I don't care if your town is burning down! I trying to think on how I supposed to party! Now what should I name him or is it a her.....Oh wait! Town burning down, right!....Sigh, I knew this occasion wouldn't last long!
 * I was actually pretending to listen to you because I was trying to give you the feeling that I was respecting you and your opinion but to tell the truth, I don't really care what you think and was going with my idea anyway. Just because it's more fun that way.
 * I swear! The Marines should be thanking me for taking down Pirates for them and yet, they put a bounty on me and chase me down the moment they see. I only robbed their banks to get my reward. I guess I shouldn't have used dynamite to blow up that vault. I just wanted to see the explosion but didn't expect it to blow up the while building. I guess I used too much. Good thing I did it when no one was thereon sundays.
 * I. I. I shouldn't eat that much at the all-you-can-eat buffet! But ithe food was so GOOODDD!!!!! and totally worth the price. Damn, I think I'm going to throw up. Yup, I am. Fore! BLURGHH! BLURGHHH!!!! Oh god, when will this stop! BLURGGHHH!HH!!!!!!!!
 * OK! Seriously! Who the hell thinks that they can just tied me up and put me in a small cage without any food?! I am freaking starving, man! You could at least put the cage near the table so you can watch me struggle as I try to eat the food off the table and then eventually regret your decision to do so since I just unlocked my cage now and going to beat the ever-loving crap out of you! BTW, getting out of serious situations like this is a speciallty of mine. Wanna guess what is also my specialty? I'll give you a hint, boot to the head! NOW GIMME ME BACK MY SWORD!!! and a grilled eel on a stick! I haven't had one of those in a long time! GIMME!!!!
 * ......I'm saying nothing so far because everything about your idea is just so stupid and ludicious that I actually have trouble deciding how to insult your entire being because I....I just have so many things to say about you and also....I want to punish myself because I can not, can not, CAN NOT! believe! that I actually listen to you without thinking that my brain cells will die.....is what you going to say to me, aren't ya.....Yup, that's what I though. I'll take that silence as a sign of that you would. Ah-huh....Damn! You're so harsh! I going to go ahead of you to hide my shame!! See ya!

Other

 * Roronoa Zoro? Never heard of him. So you're saying that he's going to be a threat against you in the future alongside me, Mihawk? How interesting. I can't wait for him to appear in the New World. I will love to fight this man in a duel to the death after he gains some real-life experience from the Grand Line.
 * Ora Ora. So Zoro got this high of a bounty on his 1st bounty. Not bad. I wonder if you learned to use Haki though. If not, you better learn it before I fight you, Pirate Hunter!
 * So that's Ace's little brother, Monkey D. Luffy? The one who can has been causing a lot of trouble at Enies Lobby and defeated Crocodile, one of the Shichibikai and already has such a high bounty in his 1st year as a pirate. And now he's an ant bascially commiting suicide by even participating in the battle at Marineford filled with DRAGONS?!!!!! Not bad for a rookie. And I seem to remember Roronoa Zoro as his crewmate....If Luffy's going to be the Pirate King, then I expect to have a interesting duel with him, the next candidate to be the world's greatest swordman!

Personal Facts

 * His favorite color is blue.
 * His favorite food is meat and ramen.
 * He is obsessed with dragons and cats to the point that he gets excited everytime he sees one.

Running gags

 * At all, you could eat restaurants; he would eat too much even though he was full already so he would suffer as a result.
 * He always gets picked on for bad luck happening to his friends even though some of the events were actually his fault, accidentally or on purpose.
 * He runs incredibly fast towards any source of food when hungry and somehow leaves flames on his running path. This odd trait causes an uproar for the townspeople since it could be dangerous for them if not put out quickly.
 * He gets excited when he sees a cat or a dragon and oddly, even though he sees Ryuuzan everyday, he still has a fanatic reaction. He would ignore everything around him while he is fascinated by Ryuuzan which usually causes him to have a delay in reaction as soon he realizes that there is a serious situation.

Misc

 * The black obi he wears is actually how people in Japan wear with their kimono to mourn the dead.
 * Rakku has a distinct laugh, Wahahahaha. This resembles how a villain would laugh while thinking of evil thoughts but some reason, he laughs like this for any occasion even happy moments which creeps out people around him and wonder if he really is evil.
 * He claimed to want to have a dragon as a pet before having Ryuuzan as a dragon.
