History
When Isuka was a little girl, her village was burned down by Draw during a pirate attack. Her parents were killed, and she was saved by Vice Admiral Draw, who was a Lieutenant Commander then. She received a burn scar during the attack.

At one point, Isuka infiltrated the ship of the Spade Pirates and fended off the crew easily. However, Deuce's plan forced Isuka to retreat and save her colleagues. After saving many Marines, she nearly drowned, but was saved by a life preserver thrown by Ace. From that day forth, she swore to chase down Ace.

She encountered Ace and the Spade Pirates again at Sabaody Archipelago during a holiday. Unfortunately, during the battle between Ace and Draw, she learned of the harsh truth about Draw and her past.

Trivia

 * Isuka (イスカ) is the Japanese name of the red crossbill. According to a medieval legend, the crossbill gained its crossed bill by trying to free Jesus Christ from the cross by pulling out the nails, which caused blood to spurt out and stain the bird forever as a token of its efforts. This fits with Isuka being a righteous Marine and her epithet "Nailing".
