Steppens D. Storm

Steppens D. Storm is a 33-year-old scientist and also an assassin who comes from the Town of St. Eden in South Blue, along with his twin sister, Steppens D. Ellie. He owns an extremely rare, special ability that can spawn and control the movements of the atoms, beside the three types of Haki, since he and his sister had lost his father and older brothers in an assault by the Marines and a few government officers 27 years ago.

Previously, he held a bounty of 614,000,000 berries after assisting the Revolutionary Army (RA) to overthrow seven great corrupt countries, which is owned by the World Government, from age 20 until he was 29. He is also recognized as "No. 3" of the entire organization, even after he and his sister switched their working style into free-and-secret.

After defeating a World Government agent conquering a city in Pineclone Island of New World, Storm's bounty immediately raises to 894,000,000 berries, though it was just a fake report while his real unpublicized bounty is 2,704,000,000 berries.

Appearance

He is a tall, heavy man with the height of 232 cm and weighs 193 lbs. He owns a scar on his left eye, which looks like a crossing cutlass and a hammer, and a thin beard. His left eye is seen glowing red when he either outbreaks his angers or uses Haoshoku Haki.

He wears a black assassin suit, with a dark brown leather hood and a thin belt across his torso, as it's used to hold the crossbow and the half-golden long-handled Thor axe. On his left arm, he wears a silver gauntlet with a hidden blade and a rope launcher. On his waist, there is a large leather belt, in which his golden sword named "The Eden's Manipulator", two pistols and the sea-stone ammunition pouch are held. He also wears black jeans and dark brown cowboy boots.

In the incident "The Coup de état", "The death of the Headmaster" and "The Pieces", he wore a black bomber jacket, a dark green T-shirt, a black jeans and a pair of sneakers. In the incident "The final battles of the School", he wore a white large assassin coat instead. He also wore a backpack that has a long and narrow pocket on the back to hold his Axe, a small belt and the gauntlet with hidden blade and rope launcher.

Personality

Storm is a high-willed, dynamic man, always thinking about positive things to encourage his sister and himself to continue their own livings. This is partly because he was unknowingly inspired by one of his father's friends, when he was less than a month old; and the Will of D., which encourages him to be stronger to complete his dream, is to defeat the World Government along with his comrades.

He is an extra-ordinary assassin, who is one of the most reputable members of the Revolutionary Army, because of his strange power of spawning and controlling the movement of the atoms, his intelligence and the hatred to the World Government. Every time he beholds a society's vice occurs in front of him, such as human auction, drug deal,... he was shown to be very disgusted because they're not noticed by the true Justice. This is clearly shown in his town and in Sabaody Archipelago.

"You are just a piece of waste made by the corrupt nobles of this world. The more gladsome you guys live, the worse the poor people, mermen and fishpeople' lives will become. The longer you dominate this country, the more blood will flow and flood our streets!"

- Storm's part of speech to Aaron Raflac, before Aaron's demise.

He also took care of her sister very much, as she is the only one who survive her family along with her younger brother. During the incident at G-9 and G-6, when Ellie was nearly be killed, he prevented Leon Raflac - Aaron's older brother - and Albert Gyakrov - one of the famous rear-admiral - from killing Ellie.

Reaction toward the World Nobles

Like his boss, grade-mate and comrades, he has been bearing his extra-deep hatred toward not only World Nobles, but also any nobles in the world. He was very surprised to learn that there were nine in every seventeen students in Revolutionary Assassin School (R.A.S.) lost someone in their families due to the nobles or any corrupted Marines.

However, at some point of his life, he started realizing that not all the World Nobles were as bad as he always thinks. During some heists, he found that some political prisoners of some of the corrupted kingdoms were once World Nobles, and they were overthrown by other World Nobles and ruled the kingdoms before the arrival of RA47.

Kindness

Despite his ruthless personality, Storm is seen to be a kind man toward people with poor and bad living conditions, even pirates (such as Tearoom Pirates, as he and his crew rescued them from starving and offered them a house in a kingdom they liberated on their way). Moreover, Storm even opens his heart toward people sharing the same past of losing families and friends.

Power, abilities and weapons

Power and abilities

Physical abilities

He has been considered as one of the extremely powerful warriors of the South Blue since he's 17 years old. Storm's strength, agility and speed are all extraordinary, and due to this, he can easily destroy twenty-five Marine battleships in 48 seconds, during the 10th Marine's yearly onslaught toward his home village 22 years ago; and defeat Aaron Raflac, who is a Soru and Busoshoku Haki user and has the Doriki of 3625. Since he was 6, he has an extraordinary endurance that he could survive multiple attacks dealt by Aaron (though it took multiple days for him to recover from the wounds that could have killed him).

Haki

Kenbunshoku Haki

Storm is one of the most skillful Kenbunshoku Haki user of the Revolutionary Army. During his 6-year training in the R.A.S. aside his "passive training" during his adulthood, he is successful in reaching the level of seeing briefly into the future, similar to Charlotte Katakuri of Big Mom Pirates and Monkey D. Luffy.

Busoshoku Haki

His Busoshoku Haki becomes stronger and stronger after the defeat of his very first mortal enemy, Aaron Raflac. By the time he becomes 28 years old, he can fully coat his body and even internal organs with Haki to prevent the inner destruction from opponents with stronger Haki.

In his dragon form, he greatly depletes his Haki as well as his total energy. He can maintain the form for at most 20 minutes before reverting back to his human form and collapsed.

Haoshoku Haki

Storm is well-known (and perhaps being bountified with 54 million berries) for his accidentally utilizing his Haoshoku Haki when he was just only 6 years old. At the age of 23, his Haoshoku Haki is able to target a specific opponent hiding in crowds with high precision.

Atomic Art

Besides the three types of Haki: Busoshoku Haki, Kenbunshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki, he also possesses an ability to spawn and control the movements of the substances' atoms, which is called Atomic Art. This ability is mostly used for fighting, such as creating atomic arrows when firing his crossbow, creating enormous tomahawk blade or Alabasta guards' blade, which disappears whenever he wants to, changing the color of his Haki from jet black to another color to increase/adjust damage of the attacks (such as turning the fists into white color will deal intensive damage, as well as the punch unleashed by Tremor-Tremor Fruit users),... He also uses this power for healing himself by multiplying the tissue cells on his fingers and moving them slightly to the wound (but this is possible when he takes less critical damage, bigger and more serious wounds can't be healed fast using this method); heating the water to take bath or shower; sprouting the wings to fly a greatly long distance; expanding the length of the ropes in his rope launcher to move to a higher place;... However, many people think that this is the Devil Fruit ability and want to kill him using the Sea-stone or Seawater, but it's all useless when they find out that although his body is vulnerable to the Sea-stone, he doesn't lose his strength, stamina and energy.

The only reason why he achieved this power, was once told by the Headmaster of The Revolutionary Assassins School, Reanald Atlomus Blanc, in 1506.

"The child who was born on the beginning of July [...] In the evening when his house were assaulted by the CP-40 assassins, there was a red thunderbolt, which divided into two, had struck two places: the child, and the Grump mountain, where the Axe was hidden. When he was struck by the bolt, his brain didn't change, but the whole body was affected with the power by the bolt. This could explain why the Axe can obey the boy only, not anyone else, [...] When the predicted time has come, the true power hidden inside the Axe will unleash itself, giving the user the opportunity to change the whole world." - Reanald's part of speech to Yusuf Raflac, at the Raflac House I, 1506.

Intelligence

Ever since his teenage time, he has displayed excellent detective abilities, such as observing (the Kenbunshoku Haki allows him to find all hidden clues/evidences in an isolated/open areas), and deducing (he can deduce exactly who tried to poison his headmaster just by looking at the analytics result of the poison collected from his body). He can also decipher the hidden messages behind a song/music piece after less than three times repeating it, and is also able to play the violin.

Weapons

His weapons set consists of a half-golden long-handled Thor axe, a crossbow from his adoptive father - Yusuf Raflac, which he rarely uses; a gauntlet with a hidden blade (100% made of seastone to "slit the throat of those who eats Devil Fruits") and a rope launcher, a pair of golden pistols - which were obtained after the assassinations of two Celestial Dragons, loaded with seastone-coated caliber bullets which share the same power of penetration as Candy Bullets in Totto Land - and a golden sword named "The Eden's Manipulator".
