Toratsugu

Toratsugu is a former florist and prisoner who ate a Devil Fruit that turned him into the yokai nue.

Appearance
Toratsugu is an average-sized man with dark hair in a big topknot. He wears a light-colored robe with two rectangle patterns on the center on top of a light shirt and trousers with circular patterns on them. When he was a prisoner, he lacked the robe and had shackles on his feet.

Abilities and Powers
Toratsugu claimed himself to be a master florist and a capable teacher in flower arrangement. He has enough endurance to survive a fall down a mountain ravine, though not without taking injuries.

Devil Fruit
Toratsugu ate a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into the legendary yokai nue. As the nue, Toratsugu is capable of flight and is large enough to carry people on his back. In this form he is somewhat skilled in combat, being able to overwhelm Prince Lark but having been overpowered by Luffy quickly.

Past
Toratsugu served as a teacher of flower arrangement for the Hitaki Family, the family of the daimyo of the Yo district in Wano Country. Since childhood, he was friends with the princess Kikuhime, and the two gradually came to love each other. They got engaged, but a few days later, Toratsugu witnessed the Prince Lark murdering the daimyo. Lark pinned the murder on Toratsugu and imprisoned him, with the prince next in line to become daimyo. However, Toratsugu managed to escape his imprisonment the night before his public execution, and came to a beach. Starving, he ate a Devil Fruit that transformed him into the yokai nue, and he took residence in a mountain temple.

One Piece x Kyoto
Not too long afterwards, Kikuhime and Lark got engaged, and Toratsugu broke into the mansion where their wedding ceremony was held. He kidnapped Kikuhime, with Lark being unable to take him down, and took his past love to his mountain temple.

Shortly afterwards, the Straw Hat Pirates reached the temple at the behest of Lark, and Toratsugu battled their captain Monkey D. Luffy. After a brief battle, Toratsugu fell down a ravine, where he transformed back into a human and sustained injuries. He was healed by Chopper, and revealed his past to the Straw Hats. They sympathized with him and agreed to go take down Lark, and Toratsugu took them to him in his nue form despite his injuries. They reached Lark's camp, where the prince tried to kill Kikuhime due to not needing her anymore. However, Toratsugu came flying in and Luffy saved the princess, and Luffy then defeated Lark with a punch to the face. A banquet was held afterwards, and Toratsugu and Kikuhime bid farewell to the Straw Hats as they resumed their life together.
