| While reading about Frank, listen to this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw8pcxE6U9kName: Frank N. Stein Age: Died when he was 45 Bounty: 310,000,000 B Species: Yomi-Yomi Zombie (Human) Occupation: Musician, Spy Allegiance: Pirate Home Village/Ocean: East Blue Appearance: As a result of his soul returning to a dead body, Frank is quite ugly. His body hasn't finished rotting when he returned to it so he is trapped in a zombie state instead of a skeletal state. his skin has adopted a blueish tone and his face comprises of a flat, piggish nose, with pupiless white eyes and a mouth that persistently displays his top and bottom teeth, a few of them are missing. Despite being undead, he still retains the full extent of his physical build. As a result of many wounds and stitches he suffered as a zombie, his body is a little deformed but in a degree where he can hide it under clothing. He usually wears a leather biker's jacket over the ripped T-shirt he wore when he died. He wears a white beanie hat on his hat to cover his bald head and hide the bullet-hole in his skull. He also wears a pair of blue jeans and a pair of black polished military boots. History: Frank was born in a small island in the East Blue. His mother died while giving birth to him, a fact that made his father hate Frank from the beginning. Frank's father was a short-ranked marine who chose to believe that the death of his wife was caused by his 'cursed' son. He blamed Frank for every thing wrong in his life, claiming that Frank's curse was spreading to those around him. He could never get the promotions he wanted, and never managed to find a new wife after the death of Frank's mother, and he blamed it all on Frank and his "curse". 5 years after Frank's birth, the marine HQ Frank's father was stationed at was assigned with an unknown devil fruit. The devil fruit was meant to be used in a scientific military project like many other devil fruits but it's powers were unknown and it needed to be tested. Hearing this, Frank's father assigned his own son to be a guinea pig for the testings and in return, he was promoted to a lieutenant grade. Frank's father waited for a chance to get Frank off his back, and the fact that the marines were willing to promote him for that was a great bonus. Frank was never close to his father, but being sold to the marines was unbelievable on his part. He tried running away, but he was marine property now, and there was no way they were going to give up on a free test subject. Frank was imprisoned and fed the Yomi Yomi No Mi. The life in his prison were unbearable. He was only allowed out of his cell once in a blue moon, and the scientists ran every possible test on him to try and realize what powers did the fruit give him. He tried to escape, several times, but always failed. The only reason why he wasn't shot down during these failed attempts was because of his unknown powers that still needed to be discovered. Frank was kept at that research facility for 40 years without showing any signs of special powers and the experiment was deemed a failure. Almost all the paperwork was burnt down, and the scientists who initiated the experiment received a shameful down ranking. There was now one problem, what to do with Frank? They couldn't let him go, for he would tell the world about they're doings, but keeping him alive would cost money. And so, Frank was executed. He was shot in the head in the confinement of his own cell, and his body was buried in the nearby village. Thanks to the Yomi Yomi fruit's abilities, Frank's soul was wondering around the world and returned to Frank's body after a month. The body came back to life and jumped out of the earth in front of a few shocked villagers. The rumor of the zombie spread and reached the ears of the marines who soon realized it was Frank, judging by the body's said location. An emergency patrol was sent to retrieve Frank, so further experiments could be performed, but Frank escaped the island, fearing that the marines would send him back to the research facility. Because the marines wanted Frank back, a bounty was placed on his head. But all that happened 50 years ago. Frank lived as a zombie for 50 years, without aging or dying. He spent his life as a thief simply out of boredom and the fact that he already had a bounty. He served under several pirate crews and learned how to play several instruments. He always had a passion for music for it was the only exposure to the outside world he had in the research facility. He lives for a sole reason, to improve his musical skills and have as much fun as he can. Personality: Frank is almost constantly angry. You'd expect that someone who can't die of age won't mind wasting his time, but Frank also lacks patience. He is hot headed and stubborn, and will even hit his own crew members if he found it necessary. Because of his seemingly immortal body, Frank is completely careless and fearless after experiencing most fatal wounds and surviving. He can't die from age as his body is already dead so age doesn't bother him. He simply tries to have fun and a few laughs every day and keep himself and those around him happy. Frank is obsessed with hair. He is depressed from losing his hair in the month his body was dead and hides his bald head as much as he can. He hates people who make him speak of his baldness or remove his hat and has a weird habit of judging people by their hair. He is very proud of his fiddle and gets furious when people mistake fiddles for violins. Ship: It is a ship with a black sun in the front, smiling. It's name is Happy Dusky. Ship Flag: The flag is a normal jolly roger with one pad at top of each bone, ressembling the Devil Fruit ability of the captain. However, only Maximillion knows what it ressembles. Devil Fruit: Yomi Yomi No Mi Type: Paramecia Effect: The Yomi Yomi no Mi is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit which allows the user to come back to life after being killed. After death, the user continues to exist in whatever state they were revived as and can even go as far as to grant a form of "immortality" that lasts until the user suffers a second death. In Frank's case, the fruit allows him to live as a zombie. As result of living in a dead body, Frank can suffer fatal injuries without dying because there aren't any organs to get hurt. He can still feel pain and other sensations and can still move, sense and speak like a living human. His zombie state allows his to reattach missing organs to his body by simply holding them against himself in their proper place but these limbs can be detached again easily and require stitches to be made. His wounds don't heal but his different body parts can function independently, even while separated from his body, allowing him to keep lost body parts functioning simply by attaching them back to his body. In order to heal, his wounds need to be stitched. He doesn't need to eat, sleep, drink or breath but he can still perform these actions. Although he is resilient to physical damage, he can still die if drowned, burned, or any other manner that doesn't involve slicing or blunt damage. His body is more fragile than a normal body from the endless amount of reattached limbs. If he gets sliced to bits or broken to pieces he'll need help in healing. Special Abilities: Inhuman Strength: As a result of 40 years of harsh physical tests and another 50 years of piracy, Frank became super-powerful. His fists and kicks can easily shatter rocks and dent metal. He can lift up to half a ton with his bare hands and can pull 4 times that weight. Zombie Kata: Utilizing his unique body, Frank developed a special fighting style only he can use. It involves detaching and reattaching his different body parts while using his inhuman strength and a few martial arts moves to perform a series of unique attacks. This fighting style doesn't contain many defensive moves simply because Frank's body is resilient to most common attacks. Ghost Kata: After discovering that he is able to make his soul leave his body, Frank developed a secondary fighting style: The ghost Kata. The Ghost Kata utilizes Frank's new abilities to pass through solid matter and to possess inanimate objects to give Frank and edge in combat. Through additional training, Frank achieved a deeper understanding of the mechanics of his own spirit, and other spirits in the living world. As a result, he can now manipulate his own spirit in such a way that will affect others' spirits as well. He calls that style Shaman Kata. Musical Skills: Frank is a gifted musician and can play on most instruments. He's best with the fiddle and he gats realy angry when people mistake his fiddle for a violin. Spying Skills: Frank is an excellent digger and can bury himself under ground in a matter of seconds. Since Frank doesn't need to breath he can hide himself in various places otherwise unaccessible, like underground canals. He can also lie without moving to look like a body. That move is also used to scare people for the fun of it. He can also detach his head or his eyes to act as surveillance cameras. Minimal Medical knowledge: After repeatedly stitching his body, Frank became very skilled in doing so, being able to stitch his wounds and other's wounds in mere seconds. He also knows where internal organs are stationed around his body, allowing him to pull off his Boooooh!!! 2.0 technique. Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25): Zombie Kata:- Spoiler:
Boooooh!!!: A seemingly joking move. Frank will play dead after getting hit by an attack or simply in the middle of the street to trick his target into letting his guard down. He will jump up and surprise his target. This move may cause people to wet themselves and flee. Boooooh!!! 2.0: An improved version of the attack mentioned above. This time, Frank will detach a few body parts and may reveal a few internal organs to frighten his target even more. Dead-a-rang: Frank will detach his arm and throw it like a boomerang. The arm can still move and can deliver powerful fists and catch different objects. The arm will than turn in midair and fly back to Frank like a boomerang, reattaching to his body. Block: This is a move that is meant to defend others. Frank will simply place himself in front of an incoming attack, suffering it and defending whatever he tried to protect. Thanks to his zombie body, Frank can easily recover from the attack. Serve: Frank will detach his head from his body and throw it at the enemy with great speed. The head acts as a weapon that delivers a blunt strike when crushing into the enemy and can bite the enemy afterwards, causing great pain. Zombie bat: Frank can detach and use his limbs as clubs, increasing his melee range. Scatter: Frank will separate his head, arms, legs and whatever body part he sees fit to cover the battlefield with his own body, giving him many possible angles to attack from. Launch!: Through the use of his sheer strength, Frank will perform a powerful jump, carrying him for a dozen meters in any direction in a blink of an eye. Ghost Kata:- Spoiler:
Yomi Yomi No Astral: This is the basic move of the Ghost Kata. With this move, Frank can leave his body and become an astral soul. In this state he can pass through solid objects and communicate with the world, but he can't touch or move anything. He can be seen and appears as a floating head made of a white cloud with a smoky trail behind it. While the soul is out of the body, Frank's body becomes limp and lifeless. If Frank's body was to touch seawater or seastone, The soul will be immediately sucked back inside. Frank's soul can't be more than two kilometers away from the body. Frank can maintain his ghost state for up to half an hour. After half an hour passes Frank gets pulled back to his body. Yomi Yomi No Booooh: The Yomi Yomi fruit revives the user by allowing his soul to possess his corpse. By releasing the soul from the body, advanced users can possess other inanimate object by entering them and controlling them from the inside. The possessed objects can levitate and perform their original functions under Frank's command. If the object was to touch seastone or seawater, Frank's soul will be immediately pushed out of it. While inside an object Frank is the object. It the object was to be destroyed, Frank will die a second time. Yomi Yomi No Sense: While is his astral state, Frank gains a special sense. He can sense where his body is at any given moment no matter how far he is from it. Yomi Yomi No Halflife: This is a special technique where frank leaves his body but also leaves his ghost tail attached to the body. In this state, Frank can only be 50 meters away from his body. With this technique, Frank can almost be in two places at the same time. His soul can still wonder around, see talk and hear while his body can still move. The body's movements are slow and idiotic, and any part that gets detached from it can't move, as opposed to Frank's normal state. Frank controls his body but cannot hear what his body is hearing, only see. Possessing an object in this state is possible, but leaves Frank completely drained from energy and his soul will be forced back into his body after a minute. His body will then faint for a few hours. Yomi Yomi No Stop: An upgrade of the Yomi Yomi No Booooh technique. Frank will form a makeshift pistol with his hand and point it at an object. Then, he will shoot a fraction of his soul towards that object, taking control of it for a brief moment. The soul fraction is weaker than the original Yomi Yomi No Booooh, but is strong enough to put projectiles to a complete stop. That being said, bullets are a difficult target to hit... Shaman Kata:- Spoiler:
Shaman Cannon!: Frank will inhale a great amount of air, and then release a powerful roar. While roaring, Frank will use his manipulation over his own soul and other souls to unleash an expanding blue wave from his mouth. This wave has no physical affect on anything it passes through, but it causes souls to tremor, and as a result, creates a primal and uncontrollable fear of Frank in anyone who is touched by it. (NOTE: I am aware that it is kinda like Haki, but it can be dodged if one would avoid the wave. It's like Brook's manipulation of souls with music) Spooky Stitches: Through manipulation of his soul, Frank can now reattach his limbs back to his body without using physical stitching. Instead, the limbs will be pulled into their places and will be engulfed in a misty cloud, that is Frank's soul. Frank can maintain this state for several minutes before he has to rest. Weapons/Items: An antique fiddle, Stitching equipment Character Flaws: Although Frank gains a lot of advantages from his zombie body, he also gains some flaws. If not stitched after getting hurt Frank can't heal from his wounds and they continue to hurt. Also, his attached body parts can be easily detached from his body if their aren't stitched to it. Usually his limbs would fall off from attacks that are simply meant to brake a bone. Goals: - Become a great musician
- Live a life filled with humor and fun
- Punch anyone who mistakes a fiddle for a violin
Clarification: How to kill Frank:- Spoiler:
Basically, since Frank is already dead, he posseses some sort of immortality from age and common life-threatening hazards, but he can still be defeated. Bullets and slashes will hurt him as much as the next person, but won't risk his well-being at all, since once again he is already dead. No matter how lethal the damage recieved from such attacks, he'll pull through (For ex. he is now walking around with a bullethole through his head, which is what killed him in the first place). The same goes for every type of poison or disease, and any method of choking. This invulnarability is achieved thanks to Frank's soul keeping his body "alive" instead of other means, and unless the soul is extracted form the body, it'll keep doing that. Albeit that, damage that would normally destroy the targets body completely will kill Frank, as his body will be blasted into so many pieces that even if he remained alive there is virtually nothing he could anymore. Explosions, fire, lightning, acid and the likes of which will all prove very effective against him. In addition, Seastone and seawater will nullify his devil fruit abilities like any other deavil fruit user, returning him to his original dead state for as long as he's in touch with either of these two.

| His former bounty was 100,000B. During the rampage Frank killed one of the chief guards I believe (I'm not sure what he was but he was on the fifth level) And he participated in the fight against Hannibal on the second floor. He also took down two high bounty prisoners on the third floor I believe, not to mention taking down dozens of simple guards and killing an Exi-general in the way out. The bounty was dictated by Maxulus. | |

| Requesting to update the bounty from 95,000,000 to 310,000,000 after the events of the Dusk's previous thread, in which Frank defeated Cargoan who had a 390,000,000 bounty on his head. | |
