A New Reality

[Miguel Van Helsing]

Character/Crew: Miguel van Helsing, Devil Fruit

Name: Busoshoku Haki
Type: Haki
Description: This Haki enables the user to create a force akin to invisible armor around themselves. Like Tekkai, it acts as a defense against attacks that would otherwise harm the user.

However, it isn't just a shield. It is also a weapon that can be used by augmenting the user's attacks, imbuing it in weapons to make them more effective, or even project it ahead as pure brute force. Any attack enhanced by this type of Haki will be much stronger -immensely so, in fact- than it would be without it.

This Haki can also bypass the powers of a Devil Fruit user, touching the substantial body beneath whatever protection the Devil Fruit powers provide, like with Logia users. However, it can't negate Devil Fruit powers like seastone does, allowing them to defend themselves and continue fighting normally. More than bypassing Devil Fruit powers, it can also harden parts of one's body (or the entire body), turning the area black and making the user denser and more formidable by giving their attacks greater power.

Name: Ama no Murakumo (The Gathering Clouds of Heaven)
Type: DF Technique
Description: The user creates light from his hands, visualizes a form, and then wills the light to take the shape of that visualized form. This light construct is then hardened using Busoshoku Haki, making it solid and able to interact with other things. This technique is usually used to create weapons of light like swords, maces, javelins, staves, glaives, bows and arrows, and any other weapon that the user can possibly imagine. However, aside from weapons this technique can also be used to create shields, walls, flowers, tables, chairs, or anything else the user can visualize. Because these constructs are solidified using Busoshoku Haki, they can easily reach and affect other Logia users’ real bodies and ignore their intangibility. They are also stronger, more durable (and in some cases sharper) than their real-world counterparts.

Name: Banbutsunoreichou (The Lord of Creation)
Type: DF Technique
Description: This ability requires the user to use Kamui in order to turn their limbs or themselves into light first. Once that’s done, the user can then reshape his body parts into anything he can imagine and then solidify them with the use of Busoshoku haki. These modifications can be made even more convincing by putting in even more texture and detail to his altered form. Another touch of realism can be put into it by bending and distorting the surface of the light of his limbs in order to change the color and his overall surface appearance.

Because the body parts altered by this technique are imbued by Busoshoku Haki out of necessity, they can easily go through another Logia user’s intangibility and reach their real bodies. The increase of the user’s strength is proportional to the amount of size that he increases in as well as the amount of Busoshoku Haki that he uses to solidify and strengthen his modified limbs. Despite being solid, these limbs of light can still be modified and changed on the fly at the user’s will because of their nature as light.

Prolonged contact with Kairoseki will revert him back into his original form, though the more parts he has transformed, the longer it would take for him to fully revert to his normal form. Being fully submerged in water will also revert him back to his original form because he is still susceptible to the standard devil fruit weaknesses.

Name: Kintarō (Golden Boy)
Type: DF Technique
Description: This technique is an offshoot of Ama no Murakumo. However, instead of making an item, the user makes actual solid and sentient figures from the light by mixing the light he produces with Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki along with a dash for Ki thrown in for the sentience. These figures can range from simple insects to actual clones of himself to even gigantic imaginary creatures. The exact features and dimensions of these clones are alterable and subject to the user’s will. These figures act as an extension of the user’s sight and Kenbunshoku Haki sense, enabling the user to extend the sensory range of these two senses to a maximum of 50 ft radius around the figure. However, they cannot hear, feel, or taste since they are merely made out of light. As such, the user can’t use them to extend those senses either

They are able to act independently of their creator, but they are still subject to their creator’s commands. Since they are solid, they can interact with the environment and attack if need be. Their attacks will be stronger than the original versions of the figure (unenhanced, of course) because their entire form is filled with Busoshoku Haki. These figures can be simply be dispersed into the air or reabsorbed into Miguel. Alternately, they can also explode violently with the force of twice that of a light orb of equal size. They can be forcibly destroyed, though it takes a few strong solid strikes before they lose their cohesion and dissolve into light.

Total Cost: 3,500 Beli (The DF techniques use up my 13th-15th free slots)
