History: Edouard always had a fondness for chess. He'd play it whenever he could get an opponent. But he was distraught by the fact that there was no “reinforcements”. Despite this, he kept playing and getting better and better. But one day his world changed. He ate a strange-looking fruit merely out of curiosity, and all of the sudden a group of soldiers walked right out of his chest. This surprised him, yet intrigued him. Perhaps he could make a game of chess with human beings. That would be a thrill. He never once used his new abilities to ransack whole countries, despite that face that he could if he wished. Eventually the World Government saw his potential and hired him; not as a mercenary, not as an enlisted man, but a one-man-task-force to hunt down the most dangerous criminals that would have cost many lives. He's a useful piece in the world government's game, and they'll do anything to protect it.
Personality: Edouard is laid-back that's more of an impression of smugness. He is a strong believer in the term “safety in numbers”, seen through his over-use of mass-groups of soldiers. He tries to stay as calm and civilized as possible, which in some situations could be angering to others. He enjoys his wine and luxurious delicacies, but in small portions.
Ship: Rook
Ship Flag: A large checkered flag with a knight and a bishop crossing each other in an “X” shape. (Knight and Bishop as in the chess pieces)
Devil Fruit: 軍隊軍果物 (Troop Troop Fruit)
type: Paramecia
effect: When eaten, the user becomes an almost endless living barracks, housing all kinds of troops, from infantry to cavalry and cannons. They disperse from doors that appear and open on the body at will, out of which small soldiers, horses etc march out and upon reaching a certain distance from the user (about 10 inches) they become full sized human beings/horses/cannons. When casualties pile up, the user can create more soldiers inside his or her self, but cannot do it on an empty stomach (they need to eat to make more, basically). (the soldiers are playable NPCs, can be easily dealt with but they work in large numbers).
Special Abilities: N/A
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25): N/A
