Fukuoka Koyuki is an article written by Berserkchart486.
If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse.

—Koyuki speaking to Akemi.

Fukuoka Koyuki[2], more commonly known as Daddy L. Legs[1], is the captain of the Black Widow Pirates[1], the "Strongest Woman in the World"[6], and one of the Four Emperors that rule over the New World and the only female member.[1] As the only emperor from the previous generation, surviving the Yonko Wars, as well as the rise of various rookie pirate organizations, Koyuki is considered a linchpin to the stability of the Three Great Powers.[12] She is considered the penultimate threat of the world, and holds the largest active bounty at Beli5,000,000,000, making her one of the few pirates to boast a bounty above the five billion mark alongside Gold D. Roger, and his rival, Whitebeard.[11]

Koyuki is a member of the Kumamushi Tribe, a tribe of Giants and Ancient Giants native to the Sakatoke Mountain that live on the island of Watarishima located north of Wano Country.[2] Due to their dwindling resources, Koyuki was sold to the World Government and placed under the direct supervision of Aoshin, director of the CP-0. There, she was married into the newly formed Fukuoka Family through a union with a disguised Draco D. Drake, and sent as an emissary to Wano.[3] Through her innate gifts, Koyuki elevated the power of the Fukuoka, and conquered various shinobi clans. Fearing that the Fukuoka would become too powerful, the lords and samurai families waged war against the Fukuoka, beginning the famed Wano Civil War.

With the Fukuoka's defeat, Koyuki escaped Wano, beginning her pirating career to garner the necessary manpower to conquer the nation upon her return. During her exploits, she was a member of the Hunting Pirates as one of its five stars.[4] Shortly afterwards, Koyuki left the Hunting Pirates to found the Black Widow Pirates, and returned to Wano, conquering it and installing herself as Empress.

During her rule, she has transformed the isolationist nation into a worldwide superpower, accumulating more territories and forming the Empire of Wano.[13] As the linchpin of the pirating world, Koyuki is considered by many to be the closest to the title of Pirate King. With the rise of a new generation of emperors, Koyuki has been moved from stagnation, and seeks the mantle to truly cement herself as the Queen of the seas.[14]

Appearance[]

"Your dress is lovely by the way, it does wonders to hide the many-legged monstrosity underneath. I almost mistook you for Elbaf nobility for a moment, like many species of carnivorous spiders it would seem you rely upon camouflage in order to catch your prey. Will you also liquidize the innards of the proud people of Elbaf, I wonder, make them easier to swallow before you spit out the bones of a trusting people?"
—Fuyuki speaking to Koyuki during Operation: Elbaf.

For decades, Koyuki’s bounty images had been extremely deceptive, as the woman portrayed through the lens of a camera typically never matched the woman that people referred to as the emperor of lore. The posters displaying her numerical worth depict her an abnormally tall giant with a stature who is well over five times as tall as a normal giant.[5] Despite her stature, she is normally proportioned, possessing a curvaceous and slender frame, though her legs are notably long comparative to her torso. She possesses a pinkish-red skin, lime green eyes with long eyelashes, and lengthy-white hair tied neatly into a ponytail with kanzashi hairpins shaped like blades, while two strands of hair drape the sides of her face.

Her teeth are shaped normally, apart from her canines which are pronounced to the point of appearing as fangs. Descendant from a noble family of Ancient Giants, Koyuki is considered a paragon of her tribe’s traits.[15] However, when in her presence, Koyuki’s fruits alters the lens to view her, transforming her into the personification of beauty and comfort. Because everyone’s definition of beauty and comfort is different, Koyuki does not appear the same to any single individual, as she appeals to personal epitomes of physical attraction.[5] Therefore, in her immediate presence, she is the fairest, loveliest, most beautiful, and desirable individual in all of creation. However, as mentioned, because the power is an extension of her devil fruit, she can willingly alter the perspective of her appearance to a more standard, set appearance as well; her ability to change how people see her has made it difficult for the public to discern her true face, as they can never know whether any of her disguises are real.

Personality[]

Well, if you get really, really strong, you’ll get to fight against all kinds of people. The strongest people in the world gets to fight tons of matches. In fact, if you get good, I promise you, someone who is even better will come and find you.

—Koyuki remembers her mentor's words while fighting Fuyuki[14]

Renown for her infamy and cruel nature, Koyuki, at first glance, appears to be anything but. She is a very energetic and optimistic woman with a thirst for knowledge and hunger to improve her own abilities. A byproduct of the times that she had grown up, she is a perfectionist, and dedicates herself to her craft until the skill has been completely mastered.[16] Her natural work ethic, coupled with her ability to effortlessly perform the most daunting task, has made her exceedingly confident in her abilities and talent. For this reason, she is fairly laid back, and genuinely unconcerned with affairs that do not directly affect her. She regularly leaves her castle without the proper escorts, as well as travels outside of the parameters of Wano with no concern for her individual well-being. She consistently welcomes challenges and will often engage with combat with anyone regardless of their standing in the world so that she can properly prove her abilities and test the own limits of her power.[5]

Koyuki is best described as having a severe obsession with combat, so severe that she willingly seeks to develop an opponent that can match her might and satisfy her. Employing Mashikura, she has him use his talents to find those that can become Joy Boy, so that she can ensure their survival and utmost development.[5] Though this seems benevolent, Koyuki’s obsession can have disastrous consequences. When the Daimyo were prepared to cease their feuds over territory, therefore ending the era of massive conflict in Wano, Koyuki used her powers to curse them and force them into starting the civil war for the sole purpose of maintaining the conflict, resulting in the death of literal thousands. [17] She seeks to reform the world with the intent of fostering a new generation that can equal her power.

Therefore, Koyuki, at a second glance, is selfish, cold-hearted, immoral, and incredibly sadistic. She rarely cares about the slaughter or rape of women and children, and often permits it indirectly by employing Wolfgang who frequently resorts to such methods during his conquest. In fact, due to the nature of her powers, Koyuki enjoys inflicting pain and misery onto her foes so that she can successfully curse them and transform their negativity into a source of power.[18] Due to her immense power, she rarely cares about her consequences of actions, and believes that the only way for people to rebel against her methods is to challenge her and defeat her in combat.

Her arrogance and confidence in her abilities has caused her to completely disregard the idea of destiny and fate, believing that not even heavenly intervention can interfere with her desires. She does not believe that it even exists, and states that the terms were devised for man to be controlled and guided. In the same vein, she does not believe in the idea of reputation, noting that remembrance dies out in the end.[19] When conquering Totto Land, she noted that Charlotte Linlin wasted her time creating an empire of fairy tales and myths, and that the only thing she would be remembered as would be as the final ruling Monarch of Totto Land before its assimilation into Wano. Therefore, she does not judge anyone on their past, history or lineage, and thinks that everyone’s individual actions decide their worth.[20]

Her idea of worth is not solely tied to a persona’s aptitude for combat, nor their skills in their respective profession. For Koyuki, a person is considered worthy when they subscribe to the ideal that she is ruling monarch of the world and views their belief in her as their intended salvation.[21] Viewing her genuine followers as an extension of herself, she seeks to provide a world comfortable for them. For her, to provide the greatest empire is a competition, an expression of her innate perfectionism rather than for good will, and so her various improvements to the world is simply evidence for her superiority and strength.

Koyuki believes that royalty and nobility should be made up of the world’s greatest people rather than through bloodline, viewing the World Nobles, and most other monarchs as simply inadequate to govern other people. Though, as mentioned, she does not ascertain combat ability to the potential of nobility, but instead the notion of conquest.[22] Often, Koyuki would intend to conquer foreign lands through diplomacy rather than might, viewing the act of diplomacy and the power of words to be equivalent to the threat of violence. However, when prompted, Koyuki is not above using violence to acquire what she desires and is very quick to resort to when she believes it is warranted. With ability being proportionate to legitimacy as royalty, Koyuki holds the firm belief that she is already the Queen of the World, often speaking to sovereign nations as though they are already portions of her territory.[15]

Stemming from her background, Koyuki holds a deep commitment to those that serve her, and desires to craft a perfect world for her subjects, even at the expense of others. She is willing to sacrifice anything, believing that it is her duty, as the ruling class, to empower those in her service. For her, the aptitude and greatness of those she employs, and her citizens reflects her innate superiority.[15] In her rule, territories have been transformed into superpowers, with expansion to health, education, and infrastructure a priority. However, she is not above the typical royal hauteur.[22]

While it is her duty to lead the common class to salvation, it is because she does not believe that they are capable of survival without the influence and direction of greater people. Therefore, Koyuki does not tolerate any disrespect from the non-ruling class, and will order the execution, imprisonment, or banishment of anyone that she believes does.[23] Though she was entertained by Kazama’s rebellious spirit, she ultimately arranged for the complete annihilation of the Fuma Clan for his betrayal despite their opposition to Kazama’s ideologies; she had only allowed Kazama to survive to nurture the curse she had placed on him to provide her anima.[24][25]

She escaped though, and in the world, she learned the truths of her abilities. When she ruminated on the darkness of her curse, it inspired visions of power and might. She knew the path would be arduous, but she held no fear. She, a woman beloved by all souls, the ancestors to all spiders, would devour the gods themselves.

—Veteran speaking about Koyuki prior to her invasion of Ortstand.[26]

Despite her slender frame, Koyuki is the epitome of a glutton. She is a fan of extravagant feast, and can be frequently seen devouring literal tons of a food in a single sitting. Though she is famed for her adoration of expensive meats, she will eat almost anything as long as it has been prepared by a five-star chef; she rarely eats anything prepared by anyone without that level of certification, viewing it was beneath her. The same applies to alcohol, with her preference being Rum, as if she is often seen drinking literal barrels of it with meals as well.

Koyuki's gluttonous nature is thought to stem from her background and the scarcity that the Kumamushi faced prior to her tenth birthday in which she was sold to the Cipher Pol in exchange for resources. However, it instead finds its origin in her devil fruit and its influence, infecting her with its voracious will. The Tsuchigumo is a yokai that lives to feast, and it has passed that onto Koyuki. Because of this, Koyuki is an avid consumer of sapient meats, including Fishman, Human, Sky Tribe members, etc., and will expunge a great deal of resources to have chefs prepare specimen of this kind making her a cannibal. Yet, her appetite stems beyond the physical act of consumption and into the spiritual and mental arcane as well.

She is deeply materialistic, and she yearns for treasure, wealth, clothes, expensive jewelry, and so forth., The majority of her conquest are usually centered in the acquisition of a resource that can be used to generate wealth, and Koyuki is personally willing to engage in the actual act of conquest should the resource prove lucrative enough.[22][27] Despite her adoration of wealth, Koyuki is notably poor at managing it, requiring Isshin to limit the amount of funds she has access to at any given time out of concern of depleting the Empire's treasury completely. Her self-awareness has helped her recognize this inherent trait and she has legislated that she must receive approval from her Treasurer, as well as Isshin, before she can make purchases above a certain amount.

Hey Isshin. You know, when I left Wano, I thought what was past this ocean was freedom. But, there are only more enemies. Way more enemies…Does that mean if we destroy all of our enemies, that we can finally be free?

—Koyuki remembering her words to Isshin in The Widow's Web.[28]

For some unknown reason, Koyuki has a deep craving for freedom, and the entirety of her actions and decisions seem to build upon achieving the idealistic virtue of liberty. In her eyes, only the world's richest, most powerful, smartest individual in the world can achieve the utopian privileged of self-governance.[28] Koyuki desires to live according to her wishes, unswayed by petty politics, legislation, and so forth. Above all, Koyuki wishes to free herself from her destiny, believing that is is completely unnecessary and futile, a trait to which she passed onto her son, Soren.[29] It is uncertain of which fate Koyuki has been told, but she apparently rebukes it, and has claimed that she will free herself from the threads of fate themselves.

Abilities and Powers[]

You think becoming Yonko means anything? Against the current competition? Please. The only real Yonko in these waters is the Spider Empress. And were you to come across her now, she would eviscerate you right down to the balls. You, boy... you're the rooster. Clucking and strutting about, like your king. But the rooster is only ever king atop his pile of shit.

—Kurama speaking to Valor in Two Face.[30]

Widely celebrated as the Strongest Woman in the World,[6] as well as being one of the Four Emperors, Koyuki is one of the most powerful pirates in the entire world.[1] As an emperor, Koyuki is considered a linchpin to the Three Great Powers. However, even among her fellow Emperors, she is recognized within a class of her own.[30] Following the demotion of Daikaku, Michael D. Shiguma, and Raptor D. Baron, the World Government did not immediately promote three emperors to fill their vacancy despite vacancies threatening the stability of the powers. According to Kurama, the current Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, Koyuki's existence alone was enough to deter anyone from attempting to fill that void. In the same vein, he considers her the strongest of the Emperor, and believes that she could defeat any of them if she so willed.[12] This claim is supported by her gargantuan bounty of Beli5,096,000,000, giving her the second highest bounty in recorded history, behind Gol D. Roger and slightly ahead of the famed Edward Newgate. For this, Koyuki is regarded as one of the strongest pirates in history.

Stemming from a powerful bloodline of royalty as an ancient giant, Koyuki was born with a monstrous amount of potential and is widely regarded as a generational talent seen only once every thousand years. According to Aoshin, the considerable supply of promise that Koyuki showed was so vast that stealing it at the time of her discovery would have completely overwhelmed the Hima Nobiji. Therefore, he advised the Bathory Family to purchase her from her parents and to place her within a role that would have suited their needs.[2] At a young age, Koyuki mastered any skill that was introduced to her with relative ease, possessing both an incredible aptitude towards most things as well as an ingenuity to continue to innovate and improve upon any skill that she learned.[31] She quickly surpassed her mentors and tutors to the point that she actually refrained from demonstrating her mastery so that her sessions would not end as quickly.[14]

Though she learned various fighting styles of Wano while living on Watarishima, as various tutors were introduced to her since she was intended to serve as an emissary to the Fukuoka Family through marriage, Koyuki continued her education of their martial techniques when she immigrated to the mainland. Upon completing her education of Ninjutsu at the Ryutsume Dojo, mastering the principles of both Senjutsu and Gogyo Koho, Koyuki unleashed her abilities onto her foes on the battlefield. Within a few short years of her appearance within the Fukuoka Family, Koyuki became known as the God of Shinobi for her exceptional prowess.[32] Prior to the Wano Civil War, Koyuki decimated battlefields and assimilated dozens of Shinobi and Samurai families under the Fukuoka through sheer might.[16] While her ninjutsu is nearly unrivaled, using her devil fruit to bolster its capabilities makes her ninjutsu unparalleled.

Outside of Wano, Koyuki is known as the War Goddess because of her battle prowess.[9] Her strength deters most from even entertaining the idea of engaging her in combat. According to Phim D. Sera, a pirate with a bounty of over Beli400,000,000, attacking the Black Widow Pirates is extremely reckless and that most pirates would choose to engage with another Yonko before even considering launching an assault against the Black Widows.[33] Kuzma, who has battled Harvester, Rena Argo, Yagami Valor, and Azrael recognized that he posed no threat to Koyuki and declared that he had no intention of fighting her.[5] Additionally, Cain D. Abel, who host previous rulers of Wano and the spirit of Vryrch Seth, a former Yonko, declared their loyalty to Koyuki when she demanded.[21] Similarly, Kenway Veno, the man who killed Alfred Glave, immediately surrendered himself to Koyuki when placed in front of her despite his usual disrespectful demeanor; even considering her the next Pirate King[34]

Owing to a lack of stable emperors outside of herself, Koyuki is the longest reigning yonko in the world which has gifted her several opportunities that she has taken advantage of. She has used the opportunity to forge the Empire of Wano, a massive empire which encompasses a great deal of territory including Wano Country, Totto Land, Al-Shams, and a variety of smaller territories.[22] After defeating Ilphen Lazarus and Marciel D. Klaus and inducting them into the Black Widow Pirates, she has assimilated their territories as well which include Yggdrasil, an original kingdom of the World Government, Berski Island, Sphinx Island, Makai, and Kuraigana Island. The sheer amount of territory provide the Empire a great deal of political influence and immunity that is deserving of a linchpin to the stability of world order. Koyuki's reputation as a combatant, and her influence as the leader of the empire, allows her to annex territories through a mere declaration. Fear of war, embargoes, or economic ruin usually result in nations abiding to her declarations willingly without a fight.[22] Similarly, Koyuki's allies are well protected even from the World Government, as Steelswork Island, despite its location and inconvenience to World Nobles, has been untouched due to Read Kogane's alliance with Koyuki.[35]
