Allegiance: Pirate
Home Village/Ocean: Grand Line
Appearance: Leon wears a brown vest over a blue shirt and a pair of brown pants that heavily remind those of cowboys. He wears a pair of sandals and is equipped with many sacks were he keeps coins and bottle caps for him to use when he fights. Although he is a gunner, he doesn't carry a single firearm and no bullets. He has a short blond hair that is covered by a cowboy-like hat and a bandanna that covers his throat. He has a long scar over his right eye.
History: Leon grew in a small island in the Grand Line. His parents were very poor as a result of endless pirate raids. He needed to help his family with money, and while his parents believed he was working in the docks, he was secretly stealing from pirate crews. He was an excellent shooter from the very beginning and had a natural talent for vectors and physics. His skills and intelligence separated him from the other kids and were the reason he used a slingshot to defend himself from pirates.
When Leon was older, the marines arrived at his island to defend it from pirate raids. In this very marine crew there was an old martial arts master. Now when he didn't have to steal from pirates, Leon spent most of his days watching and copying marines who were being trained by the old master. He became skilled as the years past and developed his own style, combining the principles of various martial arts he saw and his love for projectiles.
One night, the entire marine crew that infested the island went to celebrate a whole month without pirate attacks. All of the crew got themselves drunk. The captain of the marines, after about 13 glasses of alcohol became savage. He fought his own crew, who were drunk themselves and fought back. When Leon's father, the bartender tried to stop the fight, the marines started beating him instead of each other.
After breaking the man's bones, they took him out and made him watch as they burn his bar. At that point, Leon realized that the marines were as bad as pirates, in fact, they were worse. A marine couldn't be arrested. It was only a matter of another day or two until the marines got drunk again and started another brawl. Leon decided to stop the injustice. He went down to the dock and lit the marine's ship on fire, as they did with his father's bar. He than left the island to become a pirate. He promised his parents to come back after he defeated the marines and will make them rich.
Personality: Leon is a jolly joker. He is the kind of guy you want to meet in a party because you're bound to have a wild time. He takes everything lightly, from battles to illnesses. Along with his flowing sense of humor and silly smile he could never make a person's joke to go to waste. Leon is also a showoff. He is the kind of guy that steals the spotlight by either doing a silly comment or showcasing his skills. His greatest enemy is lack of attention and his best friend is the spotlight. Leon's most annoying weakness would be his gambling addiction. He is simply unable to resist bets and dares.
Ship: Neptune
Ship Flag: A frozen Blue Skull
Devil Fruit: None
Special Abilities:

With this skill Leon can easily beat any non-special opponent and win a lot of gambling money.
Kon Fo Su (Spirit Force): By using a combination of martial arts and various chakra and spirit theories (not saying they're true), the Leon is able to tap a certain "Spiritual Force" into an object. This force, combined with an object's properties can create useful weapons out of any object: Leaves, paper sheets, cards, napkins and similar objects can be used like sharp knives. Mops or sticks can be used as swords. Leon tends to use this method to launch coins, pebbles and other small round object as powerful bullet-like projectiles. The “spiritual Force” is similar to the kind of force used in Rokushiki, especially Shigan and Rankyaku, it is not to be confused with magic.
Sniper Precision: Leon can shoot with any firearm with excellent precision. From cannons to his own hands he almost never misses a shot. He is able to aim his shot from a kilometer away with a matter of centimeters of accuracy. This skill makes him the ideal gunner of any crew and an unbeatable pool player.
Hand Eye Coordination and Dexterity: As a sharpshooter, Leon has amazing hand eye coordination. His coordination along with his dexterity allow him to grab bullets in midair with his Tails technique.
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
Bulls-eye: By utilizing the Kon Fu Su, Leon can throw any number of thin and light objects, such as leaves or paper, like they were sharp as throwing knives, dealing damage from shallow cuts to deep slashes.
Home Run: By utilizing the Kon Fu Su, Leon can use long and light objects like Mops, Pool sticks etc as swords, Capable of slashing and blocking almost as good as a normal sword.
Heads: By utilizing the Kon Fu Su, Leon can launch small and round objects, usually coins, with the force of a bullet. These objects turn into a dangerous bullet-like projectile capable of both blunt force and penetration. Leon will usually form both of his hands into a gun shape and will fire the objects like he is holding real guns, usually surprising unsuspecting opponents. This technique can be very dangerous with Leon's sniper precision, if he aims at vital points. Leon's shots are more accurate with his left hand and more powerful with his right hand.
Tails: The very opposite of Heads. By utilizing the Kon Fu Su, Leon can block and grab fast moving objects with his bare hands. This technique allows Leon to stop objects as powerful as bullets and cannonballs with his hands with minimal damage. This technique is simply a reverse Heads, and can only be performed with the hands. This technique can defend against both projectiles and physical attacks.
Focus: This is an extra-long ranged version of Heads. By focusing, Leon is able to fire objects to very long distances. While using his accurate left hand and sniper precision he can reach a range of up to 2 kilometers. with this technique, who needs guns?
Blast: This technique is an extra-powerful blunt version of Heads. By using his stronger right hand, Leon will launch an object with multiple times the force of Heads. This attack only deals blunt damage and can't reach a very long range as the speed is translated to force almost immediately. This attack can only be performed with heavier objects than Leon's usual arsenal, like chairs or tables. This attack will cause a lot of damage to the surroundings, simply shattering weaker objects and swooping light objects into the air. If Heads is a bullet, than this is a cannonball.
Zig-Zag: By utilizing the Kon Fu Su, Leon can launch up to 6 objects with a slighly weaker version of Heads. These objects will ricochet off of walls and targets, dealing random damage with every hit.
Cheat: Leon will fire two objects using Heads. The objects will hit each other in midair and will change their trajectory accordingly.
Strike: By utilizing the Kon Fu Su, Leon will hit his opponent with any limb, sending them flying away. This attack is used in order to gain distance from the opponent and causes very small damage.
Shootout: Leon will fire objects with the Heads technique to intercept incoming attacks.
Weapons/Items: Coins, Mops, Bottles, basically whatever he can lift.
Character Flaws: Every attack in his arsenal is based on his hands. Take his hands out of the equation and you got yourself a win. His style also heavily relies on objects. If you place him in an environment that is unsuitable for his style he will be much weaker.
Goals:
To return to his island as a rich man.
To expose the true faces of the marines.
