Seraphim

The Seraphim are new Pacifista units developed by the Marines' Special Science Group with the intention of replacing the Seven Warlords of the Sea as one of the Three Great Powers. They are human weapons built in the childhood likenesses of the former members of the Warlords, but with the traits of the Lunarian Tribe.

Appearance


Just like the original Bartholomew Kuma-based Pacifistas, the Seraphim units are cyborgs built in the image of an existing person; in their case, the units bear an uncanny resemblance to former Warlords of the Sea, albeit at a much younger age and at a relatively larger size. The ones who were deployed to Amazon Lily, for example, had likenesses matching those of Dracule Mihawk and Boa Hancock during their childhood, the latter corroborated by the Gorgon Sisters. Aside from that, another distinct feature of the Pacifista is their lunarian-like biology, featuring brown skin, white hair, black wings and a plume of fire burning on their backs. It has been noted that some Seraphim sport star-shaped pupils while others share the same pattern or look as the individual they are based on.

Like every Pacifista, the Seraphim have the designation "PX-" marked somewhere on their bodies.

Personality
Like the original Pacifista, the Seraphim execute their duties in a quiet, robotic manner. If given a directive order to attack, they will do as commanded, although without showing restraint, and putting the lives of downed fighters at risk. Koby, despite being a Marine captain and member of SWORD, had apparent trouble reining them in during the Amazon Lily siege, implying that they might be harder to control than normal Pacifista units.

Abilities and Powers
The Seraphim were specifically designed to replace the Seven Warlords of the Sea within the dynamic of the Three Great Powers. Marine Admiral Fujitora, who was familiar with the project before its official deployment, was convinced the Seraphim could effectively replace the Warlords.

The Seraphim are cyborgs, as evidenced by their use of in-built laser weaponry and recording equipment. Some have access to external weaponry, such as swords, which they are capable of wielding with expertise. The Seraph based on Dracule Mihawk, in particular, exhibits an incredibly destructive level of swordsmanship that is capable of splitting even mountains in half, not unlike Mihawk himself. The Seraphim have shown enough strength and skill to force even one of the Four Emperors, Marshall D. Teach, into a defensive position, right after effortlessly defeating a myriad of his subordinates.

Also, thanks to their lunarian traits, they appear to have vast resilience, something noted by the Gorgon Sisters, who claimed the Seraphim involved in the siege left the island with nigh a scratch over their bodies. Their young appearances may also inhibit foes who have reservations fighting children from attacking them.

Post-Wano Arc
The Seraphim made their debut appearance on the raid of Amazon Lily, when the Marines attempted to capture Boa Hancock. There, two new Seraphim Pacifista units, one resembling Hancock herself, and another resembling Dracule Mihawk, appeared. The Hancock Seraph, together with the Marines, managed to corner the Kuja warriors, until the Blackbeard Pirates appeared. However, the new intruders were also being repelled by the Mihawk Seraph until Marshall D. Teach himself faced it. During the battle, Marine Captain Koby attempted to order the Mihawk Seraph to back down, as its attacks threatened to shatter the Marines petrified by Hancock's ability. By the end of the battle, the Seraphim were no longer around, presumably due to being ordered to retreat. It was noted by the younger Gorgon Sisters that neither of them received a single scratch throughout the entire battle.

Trivia

 * The Seraphim are angels in Abrahamic religions. The name means "burning one", which fits with their lunarian-based fire abilities.
 * Their appearance may also be a reference to popular depictions of angels, the Putto, often depicted as having the appearance of a child with a shorter wing span.
