The former runaway stood in his little cabin on the Marine vessel with everything from his old life. He looked in the dirty mirror with his icy blue eyes. “The horns always stick out.” Elliot thought as the loud voice boomed through the intercoms. He sighed before putting on his marine jacket over his blue shirt. He was wearing a simple pair of blue jeans. The Long-leg had to duck out of his little cabin to follow the rest of the newly assigned ensigns towards the bridge.

Upon exiting onto the deck, Elliot quickly pulled his hood up to fairly cover his horns and made his way to the front of the crowd. Standing at full height, he towered above the majored of the marines around him. Everyone began to whisper and look at the massive individual who made his way through. Standing in the at ease stance, he listened to their commanding officer as he gave them directions before their arrival to Karakul Island. Elliot quickly made it back to his cabin, threw his hoodies into his backpack, and he grabbed his “gift” from the Runaways. They had finally scored the ultimate prize, and they wanted him to have it to protect himself out in the world. He still hadn’t opened the box, because he heard the stories of the rare and costly items.

Walking back out onto the deck, Elliot placed his hood down to let his light blue hair and horns free for once. He knew that it might get some stares, but he had worn them out while he was a runaway. He wanted to get back to that kind of feeling again. Unlike the first time, Elliot picked up the rear in the formation this time to allow everyone a better view of the Island. The fifteen foot tall teen let his mind drift to the box secret tucked away in his backpack. “They couldn’t have gotten the Fruit. If so, there is no telling what powers I could gain from it.” Stumbling forward slightly, Elliot was knocked back into reality to the marvelous city before them. They exited the ship to walk about five minutes through the city known as Future City. The building were absolutely gorgeous, but Elliot couldn’t keep his mind from wondering back to the Fruit. Ultimately coming to the conclusion that he needed to eat the fruit, the group of marines finally entered the base of the Marines.

“ALRIGHT! Fall in line! You will be receiving your room assignments and roommates.” The Commodore yelled and gestured to ten women who sat behind desks. The women all had stacks of folders and keys to hand out to the new recruits. Elliot hurried through the crowd to the front of the line. “Name?” The beautiful woman behind the table asked. “Elliot Royale Khun.” The long-leg whispered as he quietly waited for his folder and assignments. “Here you go, love” She handed him a folder with a key and room number.

Making his way to his room, he only hoped that they gave him a room that he could actually sleep in comfortably. Upon reaching the assigned room, which was room 55,  he saw the room was big enough for two long-leg people to sleep in comfortably. The room was pretty simple in appearance with one larger bed, which he quickly took and sat down on it.

Elliot quickly reached into his backpack to pull out the gift and opened it. Inside was a strange looking fruit, He took it out and chomped out three quick bits of the fruit before chewing quickly. The taste was absolutely horrific, but he didn’t know if he had to actually ingest it or not. So he swallowed and went straight to the sink for water. Tossing the reach of the fruit away, he exited the bathroom to lay back on the bed. Opening his folder, he finally looked at who he was assigned too, and his name was Robert Weiss.

Elliot waited in deep thought on his bed for his roommate to finally show up. He just couldn’t get the idea of having abilities and unique powers figured out. He had eaten the fruit, but nothing seemed to be changed in his body. Or he couldn’t fell a difference yet. Unbeknownst to him; the Devil Fruit had already bestowed the gift to Elliot. He needed to realize it now and the Marine’s life would change forever. Click! Clack! Elliot’s eyes icy blue eyes shifted to the door. “Enter the roommate.” He thought as the other boy made his entrance. The first thing he noticed about Robert was his unique gold hair and his orange color eyes. “Hello, mate. I am Elliot.” Elliot gave a halfhearted salute before pausing at the question. “I guess, I have to be upfront with ya.” He laughed as he pointed to the boys bed. “You should probably sit down.” Elliot gave a small grin before continuing.

“I was about of a little group. We called ourselves The Runaways. We used to take what we needed to survive in this harsh world. The last “mission.” If you can call it that. We tried to acquire one of those unusual fruits.” He paused once again before looking up at Robert with a annoyed look. “We got nabbed. I was the one of the oldest. I took the offer on the table. Joined up. What about you, mate?” Elliot looked over his roommate to try to feel of this reaction to the story of living with a former criminal. Plus, he couldn’t let the guy know that he had actually acquired one of those fruits... could he?

Elliot perked up when Robert asked him if the mysterious fruit that they were after was  a Devil Fruit. He pondered for a second telling him about the “gift” from his friends, but he decided to just leave it alone until the powers or crazy skills manifest in someway. “Yeah, they say each one can grant a number of abilities. I wonder what sort of skills or powers one would gain?” Elliot was partially asking to see if the other boy could give him a few hints on what his new powers might be. He would wait for Robert to answer his question and hope for the best and luckiest guess.

Right before Robert would finishes answer, another loud buzz would echo through the base intercoms. They were calling everyone back towards the main room for some simple tasks for the new recruits. “I guess, we should finish this talk once we find out what our mission is!” Elliot stood up, grabbed his hoodie, and gave a wave for Robert too follow him through the door. Exiting their room, Elliot would follow the other Marines in the Headquarters towards the main room again. There wasn’t any big announcements or people yelling for everyone to get in line. Once they entered the room, they were given an envelop for a section of Future City for him and Robert to go patrol. “Well. I guess we are supposed to do the normal and patrol a section of the city. Should we stop and get some food? Do you need anything else from the room?” Elliot stood towering over everyone the main room, and he seemed to make a lot of people anxious. He would wait for Robert to head out or to say he would good before heading out of the headquarters back into the absolutely beautiful Future City.

Something seemed to tug at Elliot’s very being when Robert spoke about turning yourself into a weapon would be an interesting power to have. Unbeknownst to the long-leg, he had intended became a living weapon. The limits of his abilities will only continue to be revealed as he grows in his adventures. They exited the building into the streets of Future City. The buildings were still stunningly beautiful in the sunlight. Robert mentioned something about eating before they head over to their assigned area, which honestly sounded like a grand idea. “I saw a little chicken place up the street. I am sure we can find something there!” Elliot pointed to the left towards the bay and dock were located.

Making a small pivot towards the direction he pointed, Elliot spoke out again about the Mysterious Devil Fruits. “A Human weapon would be interesting! I mean.. I would prefer the usage of Firearms or something I can ticker with a bit. If you could pick between turning yourself into fire or lightning, what would you choose?!?” Elliot voice almost sounded a bit more childish than normal. But he was kind of freaking out over the possibilities that could lay within him now. The long-leg slid his hands into his pockets while taking in the vast amount of futuristic building there where on Karakuri Island, but he did remember reading something about a vast Ice Maze on the island as well. He seemed to recall it was to house a vast amount of treasure, items, and even some mystical items according to various stories and legends. He would definitely need to check up on that information whenever he got a chance.

While they we walking to the chicken joint, Elliot look around a the various people, civilians and not, that shared the streets with himself and Robert. There were rumors of various factions were trying to settle into the up and coming city of Future, but this could be the chance that the World Government lays a good enough claim to this island. They always need more islands for tactical purpose towards the grand line, but this island was a vast iceberg or glacier with he looks of all the snow and ice around. In the end, Elliot had a spark of an idea while they made their way towards lunch.

Robert made the comment that he would choose to become fire or at least have some fire based abilities. Elliot was about to embark on a huge adventure for the Marines and even the World Government. He grew up on the streets, but he was about to become something even bigger with the help of his Devil Fruit abilities. Robert seemed to have an idea about where he wanted to go through the Marines as well. They would end up working very well together. The sounds of peril could be heard from the direction they came from. The younger marine took off towards the noise while saying they needed to help the older man. “Well, I was going to say that.” Elliot took off behind Robert with ease because of his long stride. They rounded the corner to come to an interesting sight laid out before them.

An old man that looked rather fragile in his state was on the ground with three men with daggers above him. The men were dressed rather normal looking with some sort of cloth wrapped around their face. “Well. Well. Robert, I think we caught our first criminals. Huh?” Elliot let a small grin slide across his face while he slid one hand out of his pocket to hold up to the guys. “Halt guys! You know we gotta take ya in now right?” Elliot hoped for the men to be shocked by his height and hopefully “bend the knee” to be taken into their custody, which he instinctively knew that it was about to be a long drawn out fight.

The thieves seemed to grow some courage as they spouted off some nonsense about killing them if they didn’t leave. Elliot slid his hands out of his pockets as Robert stepped forward and launched what he assumed was a air slash from a kick. The main guy was taken back with a sudden slash on his chest while the two other guys still came for them. Once he stated that he wanted to see if they could handle them, Elliot had to perform or they would die. "Well I have to try to copy that obviously.” Elliot skipped forward and threw a punch in the air like he could throw it as well. But something rather strange happened.

In the midst of Elliot throwing the punch, he seemingly unlocked his Devil Fruit abilities. Elliot’s right hand morphed into a cannon all the way up to his elbow. “What the fuck?” Elliot thought as the completed punch launched a cannonball from his arm, which threw back his arm wth a bit of shocking force, and slung a light artillery shell right towards the chest of the thief coming at him. Shockingly looking over at Robert, Elliot didn’t have time to think about anything because his arm had just as quickly changed back to his forearm. The cannonball only manage to slam into the shoulder of the man he aimed for, because he tried to jump out of the way of it. The cannonball hit the man with a sicking crunching sound and threw him twirling back onto the ground beside the main guy with the trio.

“That was a surprising turn of events. I would suggest giving yourself up. I wouldn’t wanna put someone in a bodybag.” The marine gave his partner a little smirk before continuing on. “It is loads of paperwork. You know?” Still watching the third man make his way over to Robert. He hoped that the could take him or push him back a bit more. He had become very intrigued about his abilities now. Testing out a theory, Elliot quickly pointed a finger gun towards the main thief . Just as the forearm turned into a cannon barrel, Elliot’s right index finger morphed into a pistol before firing a bullet towards the wounded man eyes. These would probably either end his sight in that eye or kill him depending on how the man reacted. Elliot was still getting used to the abilities. Did he make a mistake with the weapon choice?

The mayhem of the battle was kind of intense for Elliot. He had discovered his abilities, and the thief actually dodged his light caliber bullet. “Well that wasn’t what I expected.” Elliot realized the other man was closer to Robert while he was doing his thing with the man he cut with that air slice. Elliot made it is mission to get the other thief. He looked a the distance, gauged the strength, and tried his luck on another idea he had. He thought about his fingers turning into some sort of throwable items, and the index fingers on both hands quickly morphed into throwing knives. Slinging both of them from his hands, they flew at the last thief that wasn’t occupied aimed at his thigh and shoulder.

Making the move towards the remaining thief, Elliot realized that he was missing his index fingers. “What the actual fuck?!?” He thought while he saw the knives land true on the target, but one thing he noticed is that they didn’t land hard hits. They only went in about an inch into the man’s skin, and strangely formed into some pale blobs before leaping back towards Elliot to reattach to his hands. Upon reaching the taken back man, he slung his foot at him only to close the gap quickly and land true in the man’s chest. Landing on his butt, Elliot formed the cannon again before pointing it directly at the man’s face. “Alrighty, I got this one Robert! Take care of yours, pal! WE can get them back to HQ before the other ones dies!” Elliot shouted as he kept his cannon fixed on the man’s chest. The man seemed almost scared enough to piss his pants. They had all witnessed that the man had crushed one of their partner’s shoulder. He was still bleeding and moaning on the ground behind them.
