Takamitzu D. Hanzo : The Mizu no Oni

The Mizu no Oni

The Outward Appearance:

During Hanzo's travels, he went to Paradise and raided The Divine Army to take their technology, taking metals alchemised to be nearly unbreakable and fusing it with the wood from the two ships he sailed in. Thankfully, one member of his crew survived, and with his help they created the ultimate vessel.

The ship was almost a mile tall, and a mile long, with a mast half of it's length towering high above, rooting from the upper deck.The hull was covered in black metal but for a giant hole in the back, and all of the wood was red;enchanted with Arcane Sorcery to bbecome more durable. The Jolly Roger was a skull with swords for crossbones, and 'Chaos' in red Kanji on the forehead.  On the front of the ship, the figurehead depicted a gaping, eyeless skull.Inside of the ship, one could fire cannonballs through it to surprise opponents by shooting forward in a ship battle. The ship was meant to travel via sails, and a hole was carved into the back to propel the ship through fire if necessary. The cannonhole in the back of the ship was able to, on it's own, shoot out a massive blast of air to propel them as well.

The front deck led all the way to halfway down the ship, where on either end staircases led one to the upper deck, where the wheel and anchor were located. In between the staircases was a large door, carved out of the same red wood that made the ship itself. Twenty feet in front of it saw a golden throne, cushioned with velvet and having 'Chaos' sewn in black Kanji at eye level. This was the captain's seat.

Inward appearance:

Once entering the door from the deck of the ship, one is led down a long hallway, with ten doors on either side. Each of these rooms were 15x15 square feet , with a bed that seemed larger than a twin in the far left corner. Beside it was a nightstand and lamp, with a porthole 3 feet above to ventilate air. A dresser took the lower right corner, and at the end of the bed were two doors which led to a walk-in closet. On the right wall, besides the dresser, was a door which led to the bathroom: An 8x8 square foot , completely white-tiled room with a sink, mirror/medicine cabinet, and a large tub that could either be used to take a shower from the three nozzles on the ceiling or bathe similar to a hot tub. 

Each of these rooms also has a secret door beside the porthole, to go into a larger, empty space in which to store whatever they wish or to make a living space besides the small room one uses to enter. 

At the end of this hall stood two large red doors, looking like those to a throne room, with gold levers to access them . Before one reached them, however, they would notice that two more halls branched off to the left and right of the initial hallway. Each hall had five large black doors, in the same design as the red one and on the same side of the wall.

Hanzo's room- Beyond the red doors was a 120 square foot room, the carpet's made of lush velvet. His bed, located at the center of the back wall was bigger than any named bed and looked like two Futons put together on a gold frame. It was covered in fluffy red carpeting, and had a red canopy over the top, right under which was a large porthole that ventilated air from the outside. On either side of the bed were large nightstands with lamps, before which stood small refrigerators. Opening one and taking the lone bottle of rum would activate a mechanism through the ship to shoot up another bottle, like a pez dispenser, to now cool. On the left wall led a large black door that led to the bathroom: A large, 20x20 foot room made completely of tile, with 5 drains on the floor and 15 nozzles on the ceiling. at the back were shelves with personal care products.

On the right wall, in the right corner were two red doors leading to a walk-in closet, and in the center of the wall were two red doors resembling the ones used to enter the room. They were often padlocked. They led to a 90x90 square foot room, which led one down a trail with swords stuck into the wood on either side, each engraved with a kanji and unique in one way or another. It led to a large, blade claymore sticking out of the ground, the gold guard's length making the sword resemble a christian cross. On the ground in front of it was a large slab of stone and a hammer, and to the left was a semi-cylinder filled with water. It was the room Hanzo used to store or forge swords, and had shown it to nobody to date.

The Left Hallway:

In the hallway that branched off to the left,two doors had red kanji directly around the handles. On the door next to Hanzo was 'War' , and on the door next to it 'Chaos'. 

The third black door led to a 500 square foot galley. A counter lined the left wall, on top of it all kinds of appliances including sinks, ovens and stoves. On the back wall were 20 refrigerators, filled with food and drink. On the right wall stood 20 cabinets, all filled with spices or dry food. In the center of the tiled room was a large grill, that seemed to have so way to start up.

The fourth black door led to a huge, 500 square foot room, lined with every weapon one could think of. Pistols, cannons, swords, among other things, and what stuck out were several odd objects scattered around. There seemed to be so many weapons that one only had a 100 foot path in the center to get to the piles of weapons on either side.

The final door led to a large, empty room the same size as the Weapons Room to it's right. However, it was completely empty. It was a room used for sparring indoors, or simply training by oneself. The walls were thick, and strong, stopping all but extraordinary feats from harming it.

The Right Hallway:

   These first two doors had 'Death' and 'Conquest' on them ,respectively. 

   The third door led to a 500 square foot room, with an indoor pool covering most of the space. The ceiling even opened up at the press of one of several buttons at the far wall, to let in sunlight.

   The fourth door led to a room of the same size, but it was filled with exercise equipment. It was used to train and exercise alone or with others. It was rarely used, though, since the crew often stayed outside..

   The fifth door led to a room a bit smaller than the others, and was filled with booby traps in order to surprise those sneaking around the ship. Not only could the ceiling fall flat and then lift itself up through a chain mechanism, but the walls also jutted large spikes when pressure was applied to certain points in the room.

Few have gone further into the ship. The true intricacy of it's design remains unknown but to Hanzo and Raidou themselves, the architects.

To quote the description from a post:

  The Mizu no Oni[Demon of the Water] was a gargantuan ship, over a mile tall and just as long. On this day ebony steel cut through the seas quickly towards the next destination of the Chaos Pirates: The Ancient Ruins. From their base- that of a living island- the crew set off in their massive technological vessel aiming to journey across half of the globe in less than a day. Currently, night had fallen on the ship and other further hid it from sight, Sumato-ko[Smart Steel] rippling like the tides around them.

   You see, while technology was powered by Mana in this world, the concept of creating a seafaring vessel with a near-limitless supply of energy was still next to impossible. But through the combination of stolen blueprints from the Holy Army that sought dominion over this world and the Sorcery of Hagane Raidou, this ship was given not only a gigantic fuel source but an engine capable of keeping it stable while those energies grew exponentially due to the powers used upon them. But what was Mana?

   Such was the name given to ethereal energies in this ream, dormant within the soul until awakened to manifest their magical potential. There were two forms of this power- Arcane and Divine- which sparked a religious war that decimated the globe forevermore. Now the continents numbered eight in total, all of relatively equal size yet harboring unique conditions of climate and landscape as if each country represented all of a specific time. But while the powers between these types of Mana differed little, most chose only one-fearing eternal purgatory and preferring to play it safe.

   But the Pirate King, he who was Captain of the Chaos Pirates and the Mizu no Oni, took on both forms of power as his only goal was to save his own world. By any means necessary. An Atheist, his lack of belief only further convinced him to make this decision. And because of this, Takamitzu 'Denja' Hanzo not only gained eternal youth and enhanced physiology but two devastating abilities that astounded even other Sorcerers. The Arcane Swordsman still preferred physical combat, but with his powers he could still take on even the most dangerous of foes. Or so he thought.

   He dozed in his throne, black bandanna pulled tight over both hair as gray as iron and eyleids closed shut in slumber. A crimson coat hung over him like a light blanket, the black kanji reading 'Chaos' down the back hidden by the back of that seat of velvet and gold. A black robe covered his muscular body, and the ends of ebony jeans were tucked tight into like-colored boots. In that crimson sash around his waist were four sheathed weapons, all of varying mystical properties. The white hilt on his right hip was the only one not forged by the Master Swordsman's own hand,and the others sticking out from a space behind the arms of the throne were all made of materials found on his ship at this moment. Kazeko[Wind Steel] , Manametaru[Mana Metal] and Sumato-ko made up each weapon, but their properties were those that greatly aided the Mizu no Oni in it's own travels.

   Smart Steel was made up of countless nanoscopic pieces of black metal, the likes of which could change to the whim of an ethereal current. As such, not only could the hull change shape and sprout cannons or other physical extensions at the drop of a dime, but it dampened impacts by spreading them throughout a mile. And below this thick layer was more metal, that of Rashomon- A concrete-like metal with density almost as high as diamond! But even before that, Mana Metal would try to absorb any ethereal charges used from a thin layer between the aforementioned two. Deeper within, in the heart of the ship, was the Mana Engine that used these properties in conjunction to keep a spherical source of translucent, teal Divine Mana almost a quarter the size of the ship stable.

   Like a centrifuge of great caliber, the machine encompassed that energy source with ever-spinning runs of Manametaru to keep excess amounts from reaching out and using what was absorbed to further fuel other functions instead of overloading the Engine's Capacity. Smart Steel also coated this centrifuge in order to move into certain positions to plug leaks or carry energy elsewhere through tunnels of Manametaru that supplied ethereal charges from this source to other parts of the Mizu no Oni. The sprawling, crimson deck atop the vessel where the mast carrying a jolly roger-That of a Skull with two blades in it's bandanna-wearing head, and another between it's teeth with red kanji telling of how it represented Chaos- was made of Hagane Uddo[Steel Wood] treated to not only resist heat like the rest of the ship but holding density higher than iron to make it far more sturdy than it first appeared. That throne sat dead center on the deck,in front of a door leading into the vessel while staircases on either side lead to the stern- the upper-deck where the Captain or Shipwright could bring forth screens of Mana and command systems from a console built under the wood-just like a location near the bow.

   Most of the ship was lined with Smart Steel, but in the gray room covered in Rashomon surrounding the Engine .Hagane Raidou, Chaos Shipwright, sleepily eyed ethereal images floating about him between great wings of crimson hue. The Wrath Yokai was eight feet tall, lounging in a sofa with his mace-ended tail hitting the floor and wings covering his energy-resistant hide and sharp claws from view. While these creatures were known for mindless brutality, the shipwright obviously differed; He was not only a genius in terms of ship-building but of Mana as well, and his power of Divine Generation is what gave his Captain's energy the ability to nurture itself and become self-sufficient as to create the large ball of it only yards from the Yokai.
