 * The subject of this article is sometimes called "Sven D. Arc" and "Seven D. Arc".

Sven D. Arks (スベン・D・アークス), born as Jason Blackhearts (ジェイソンD.ブラックハート) and nicknamed "Hell-Fire Arks" (業火アークス), is the Second youngest member of CP0. He is the Strategist of the Organization who's Strategic skill's and Mind are second to only the former Fleet Admiral Sengoku. He was recruited as the Strategist after hearing about the CP9's crushing defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Appearance
Although they were not blood related, Arks looked remarkably like the late, Portgas D. Ace. However, Arks was more lighthearted looking than Ace's lighthearted design, and is also slightly taller and more muscular and has Green hair along with a Green short beard. Ark's tattoos are among his most remarkable, trademark features. He had a tattoo on his back of the CP0 Symbol and a larg Kanji for Hell-Fire on his Chest. After the Time-Skip Arks gain's another tattoo on his upper left bicep similar to the one Ace Had, Except that his is the Kanji for Hell "地獄" going vertically.

Arks wears a similar attire to Ace out of respect for Him. He wore an Black open-front shirt until he Joined the CP0 - afterwards, he stopped wearing anything over his upper body except when on a stealth mission he will wear a full black cloak. He wore black boots with purple sole's, black knee-length shorts with an eyelet-studded Purple belt, and a Purple pouch belted around his left leg. He also wore a short second belt with a large Black Fire Kanji "火" on the red buckle over his right hip, but left it unfastened and threaded the free end along the back of his shorts. A dagger in a grey sheath hung at his left hip. On his left arm, he wears a Log Pose and a red and white striped bracelet around his wrist, an Purple elbow guard, and his "地獄" tattoo. He wears a grey beaded necklace and an Purple hat with two red Jolly Roger#smileys, one frowning and one smiling, and a string of grey beads sitting above the rim. Two long grey side straps hung down sides of his hat.

During his first appearance Arks wore a Large Purple Clock similar to the one the Revolutionary's Wear.

As a child Arks is shown to have often worn t-shirts with two-kanji phrases on the front (such as "Body" and "Mind"). On some occasions they are linked to the scene in which they were worn, like "Prince" when he first found his Devil Fruit.
