User:Kaido King of the Beasts/Kurozumi Ally

Kurozumi was a resident of Wano Country who was an ally of the Kurozumi Family and played an instrumental role in the rise of Kurozumi Orochi to the shogunate.

Appearance
Kurozumi was an extremely old and decrepit woman with long, wild light hair. She wore a tattered light kimono and dark pants, and wore a headband with two dark appendages pointing up.

Personality
Kurozumi believed that those with power decided what was right and wrong, and did not view any attempt to gain power as wrong, even if it involved murder. Thus, she was sympathetic to the Kurozumi Family's first attempt to gain the shogunate, and used deceit to help Orochi take the title.

Like many other people, she possesses a unique laughter style: "Ni kyo kyo kyo kyo".

Devil Fruit


Kurozumi ate the Mane Mane no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that enabled her to perfectly replicate other people's appearances. She used this fruit to deceive the Wano administration by posing as Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Sukiyaki and using their likenesses to promote Orochi.

History
Several decades before the present, Kurozumi witnessed the head of the Kurozumi Family unsuccessfully attempt to become the next shogun by poisoning his fellow daimyo, and be sentenced to commit seppuku. Kurozumi then left Wano for a time, and according to herself faced many hardships then. She eventually returned to Wano over 41 years ago, where she found Kurozumi Orochi, the grandson of the treasonous family leader. She explained to him what happened with his grandather, blaming Kozuki Sukiyaki for being born and preventing the Kurozumi Family from taking power. She instructed Orochi to gather up gold and start manufacturing weapons in order to become shogun, offering him the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi if he obeyed.

Between 30 and 33 years ago, Kurozumi posed as Oden and took Orochi to the shogun's castle, utilizing her disguise to get Orochi a job there. 28 years ago, the old woman posed as an ailing Sukiyaki, and she decreed that Orochi would be the temporary successor as shogun until Oden returned from his absence. Kurozumi eventually died of unknown causes, as her fruit is currently in the consumption of Bentham.
