Jack

Jack the Drought is an All-Star of the Beasts Pirates, one of Kaido's three closest confidants, known as the Disasters, and the captain of the Mammoth. He is also currently considered as the ruler of the region of Kuri in Wano Country. He is also a giant grouper fish-man. He was first briefly mentioned when being notified of Caesar Clown's capture by viewers of Caesar's broadcast of the Punk Hazard incident. Due to his actions and role, he is the primary antagonist of the Zou Arc, and a major antagonist in the Wano Country Arc. Jack is a giant grouper fish-man of massive stature, dwarfing his crewmates and standing taller than even his governor-general Kaido.However, while still being immensely muscular, Jack's limbs are disproportionately small when compared to his enormous torso (though their size is greatly increased in the anime, especially his arms). He wears a metallic jaw mask that seemingly disappears when he transforms into his mammoth form, and has a pair of horns on each side of his head. His blond hair is worn in a ponytail and a pair of long braids. He wears a dark, sleeveless, feathery coat similar to Kaido with spiked pauldrons on his shoulders, circled by a belt bearing his crew's Jolly Roger.



When using Koro on the Minks, he wears a hazmat suit and wears a glass helmet around his head. He has bloodshot orange eyes and a veined forehead. He has two piercings in his right ear, and wears spiked pauldrons on his shoulders. He carries a pair of tusks around his neck which are actually sheathes containing his scythe-like blades. His mouth contains pointed teeth but while in his mammoth form he has square teeth. Jack is violent and short-tempered, as one of his subordinates worried how Jack would react once he learned about Caesar's downfall. He threatened to destroy an entire city should he not get what he wanted, and made good on his word, saying that it was the citizens' own fault because they did not comply. His ruthlessness extends to even attacking children and the elderly. He has even admitted that he has a love for causing destruction, even when there is no real benefit to it. Those who have witnessed Jack's personality in person describe these traits as madness. He is also extremely sadistic, willing to torture enemies in order to get what he wants. He is barbaric and brutal to the point of hacking off limbs and creating terrible bloodshed, only ceasing his carnage when he has more urgent matters to attend to. When Jack attacked the giant elephant Zunesha, he was determined to get to its head and came up with several horrendously cruel things he and his underlings could do to kill it. He is extremely stubborn and unreasonable. When the minks tried to tell him that Raizo was not on Zou, Jack refused to listen to or believe them, and continued to refuse when Inuarashi offered to let him search the island without any resistance to see for himself. This, along with him disregarding his crew's comment that attacking Doflamingo's convoy was dangerous, proves that he refuses to listen to logic, to the point where he actually becomes enraged when someone tries to reason with him, having no patience for civil conversations. Jack's lack of reason makes him very headstrong and reckless, as he decided to attack a convoy of four Marine ships, which were carrying powerful Marines, to rescue Doflamingo. He is not above fighting dirty in order to achieve his goals, as he brought in Caesar's gas weapon, Koro, to annihilate Zou after the minks put up a formidable fight against his forces, simply because he was losing his patience and not because he was in any actual danger of losing. He is also strategic, and desires to use the most effective methods possible to win. Upon his return to Zou, he decided to outright kill Zunesha, the elephant carrying Zou, to destroy the country in the quickest way he could and avoid having to fight the minks again while ensuring they were finished off for good. Jack is very thorough in battle, wanting to make sure his opponents are completely annihilated and presuming that they will return to full strength otherwise. Additionally, he does not tolerate it when his subordinates fail their missions, having brutally punished Sheepshead for not finding Raizo. Despite his brutal and sadistic tendencies, Jack has no love for mindless violence, as he became greatly concerned when Kaido went on a drunk rampage through Kuri and threatened the citizens that Jack valued as factory workers. He also acts respectfully to those who are not his enemies and have done nothing to annoy him. He can be subservient to those he acknowledges as stronger than him, such as his fellow All-Stars King and Queen, accepting insults from them and only replying with a quiet apology, or outright fearing his general Kaido. Jack does not appear to care about titles or fame, as he got annoyed with his subordinates for boasting about his position and bounty. However, he is still prideful, as he got angry when he read the news report about his apparent death. Although Jack is normally calm and immovable, he is still capable of feeling real fear if he is vastly overpowered and left in a helpless situation. When Zunesha swung its trunk at him and his fleet in order to repel them, Jack began sweating in fear and watched the massive limb darken the sky above his fleet with his eyes bulging in panic. Jack even trembled in the face of his general Kaido. Likewise, he was rather apprehensive when Queen brought Big Mom to Onigashima. Being an All-Star of the Beasts Pirates, Jack has great authority over his crew just below his Govern-General. Jack also has authority over the region of Kuri in Wano Country, and its residents greatly fear him. In spite of his great strength, Jack is implied to be weaker than fellow All-Stars King and Queen, who both looked down upon him. His epithet is named for the fact that when he rampages on an island, it is left in a decaying state like it is suffering a drought. His bounty of Beli1,000,000,000 indicates that the World Government considers him extremely dangerous and threatening to their operations. He managed to sink two of the four Marine battleships that were part of Doflamingo's escort, and despite ultimately being defeated by the entire fleet carrying Vice Admirals Tsuru, Bastille, and Maynard, Admiral Fujitora, and former Fleet Admiral Sengoku; Jack survived the battle while only sustaining minor injuries. He possesses tremendous strength and endurance, which is enhanced by his fish-man heritage. He has fought equally with the Mink Tribe, primarily its two rulers Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, for five days and five nights without taking a break; meanwhile, the Minks, specifically Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, took turns every twelve hours. Although the Minks eventually gained the upper hand, they were never able to suppress Jack himself. Jack was shown to possess tremendous durability, having survived being hit by Zunesha's trunk with it only temporarily knocking him out despite it sinking his whole fleet. Since he is a Devil Fruit user, he has lost the ability to swim. Though he can still breathe underwater, he will be immobilized. Jack is highly proficient in dual wielding his Shotel blades, able to fight equally with Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, the two strongest minks in the Mokomo Dukedom, in one-on-one combat. He was also capable of fighting evenly against the renowned thief Shutenmaru, whom even Kaido had taken an interest in, and managed to injure Shutenmaru before their fight was cut short. Notably, even though Shutenmaru had managed to cut off most of the blade on one of his shotels, Jack was still able to fight competently with the short remainder of its blade. Jack wields two blades which he uses when in his human form. He keeps them hidden and sheathed as the tusks around his neck. Though they resemble Shotels when seen from the side, they appear even more twisted, akin to his mammoth tusks, when viewed from the front. Jack had access to Koro, Caesar Clown's poison gas weapon, during his invasion of Zou. He used its power to overwhelm the minks and destroy Kurau City after losing his patience from five days of battling. He (and the platoon he brought along with) also had a hazmat suit to protect himself from the gas.

Queen

Queen the Plague is an All-Star of the Beasts Pirates as one of Kaido's three closest confidants, the Disasters. Currently, he serves as the de-facto ruler of Udon, a region in Wano Country. Due to his actions and role, he is a major antagonist in the Wano Country Arc. Queen is a massive, round-figured man (evidently obese but claiming otherwise) with light skin. Compared to his fellow All-Stars, he seems marginally shorter than King and notably shorter than Jack, but still being about four times a normal human's height. Similar to Jack, Queen is built top-heavy, with thick, tapering arms yet, compared to his upper self, smallish legs.His head is hunched, undistinguished from his neck due to its plumpness, with a small face. His eyes are hidden by sunglasses with gray, oval rims, which instead of having temples are strapped on by black tapes that go around his head in such a way as to form an X both on his forehead and occiput.



Queen has no visible eyebrows, a small hook nose, and his small mouth, sporting navy lipstick, always smokes a big cigar. His hair is blond: a thick, queue-like braid through eight ties, with a stinger-shaped ending tuft, comes out the back of his head, which is otherwise bald. Additionally, he dons a Fu Manchu mustache whose tendrils widen as they droop to his chest. A stitched scar runs curvilinear from his right chest up to the shoulder. On Queen's upper right arm is a black tattoo consisting of his crew's Jolly Roger above his name in block capitals. Queen's left arm, up to the shoulder, is a gray and golden cybernetic, composed of metallic rings, bolted plating, wiring, and even a small pressure gauge, with the corresponding hand covered in an orange glove. Queen wears large, very high-waisted overalls that uniformly reach just below the chest, are thickly, vertically striped black-and-white, and held up by suspenders connecting with 8-shaped, golden clasps on the frontal top edge; a piece of cloth striped the same is integrated into his metal arm. As for footwear, Queen has simple, brown ankle boots. Being an All-Star, Queen holds authority over the Beasts Pirates that is just below Kaido's. He also presides over the region of Udon in Wano Country where, chiefly, he superintends the prisoner mine; a task of him is coercing prisoners of notable strength into becoming subordinates to the Beasts Pirates. Additionally, Queen manages assassins in the crew's service, as Kyoshiro recommended contacting him when men of his family were attacked. With his incredibly high bounty of Beli1,320,000,000 as well as his rank, Queen is among the strongest fighters of the Beast Pirates, being considered an extreme threat by the World Government. He has a powerful will, remaining unfazed by Luffy's Haoshoku Haki. Queen is a highly skilled craftsman noted to have a particular interest in the creation of both Mechanical Weapons (カラクリ武器 Karakuri Buki?) and viruses, having constructed his own prosthetic arm as well as "Excite Bullets", special ammunition contaminated with a highly infectious disease known as "Mummy". True to his epithet, Queen has immense knowledge in virology, having invented extremely infectious and deadly viruses which are contained in his creations, the Excite Bullets. The viruses are powerful enough to stop even Luffy who has never been sick in his life. Queen has the strength to stop a punch from Luffy with only one hand and then toss Luffy away, though these actions were done with his artificial arm. He has very fast reflexes, as he was able to catch a punch from Luffy before it could hit him. He also has tremendous durability, as he took a violent beating from the Emperor Big Mom and was able to remain conscious and stand back up on his feet only moments afterward. Queen ate the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus, an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a brachiosaurus hybrid and full brachiosaurus at will. Queen carries two swords, one on each of his hips. He also has access to special collars that eject blades from the inside. During a battle with Kozuki Oden and the Nine Red Scabbards twenty years ago, he was seen using a seemingly poison-coated club.

King

King the Conflagration is an All-Star of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido's three closest confidants known as the Disasters. He is part of a yet-to-be-identified race that is otherwise considered extinct. Due to his actions and role, he is a major antagonist in the Wano Country Arc. King is an extremely large man who towers over normal humans, though still standing a fair bit shorter than Kaido and fellow All-Star Jack, at a height similar to Queen's. While less widely built than the other two All-Stars, King is better-proportioned than either, being well-muscled and broad in the shoulders (but not overly top-heavy like Jack) with long limbs.


Notably, a plume of fire ever rises from his back, befitting his epithet. King's natural appearance is a mystery, seeing as he keeps himself clad in a dark uniform that bares no skin. Its bottom layer is a form-fitting bodysuit made mainly of black and dark-blue leather, with white-studded bands of lighter-blue leather tied variously around. Visible of such garment are the head and neck areas, the latter showing a zipper in the middle and two of said bands left and right. The head portion, a full-faced mask, leaves only two holes for King's narrow, reddish eyes (being fully black around the eyes, otherwise dark blue). Below the eyes is leather of flame-like shape flanking a central, triangular strip of light blue to mark off the nose, mouth, and chin section (also beset with studs). Above the eyes are blue-lensed, gray-rimmed goggle pieces and on each side of the head, connected by a studded base, is a large, black spike akin to a horn. Five more such spikes, only smaller, are located further on top upon a light-blue band that runs coronally into another one positioned like a headband, and crossing yet another that goes sagittally, with airholes around. Otherwise visible of the suit are the legs, each having three studded leather bands wrap around their upper halves plus a ring of the same material on each knee, and going inside black, high-heeled boots (once again with studded straps) whose high shafts end with jaggy, studded fold-overs. On top of the bodysuit is a dark-blue, double-breasted leather jacket, ten-buttoned in gold with notch lapels that have red, square skull patches (edged in gold) sewn on, and wherefrom white ruffles emerge. Running straight down each side of the waist are two columns of yet more studs, and flat, two-part shoulder pads (black and double-trimmed with studs) are present on each side, down the upper arms with three curved spikes atop either (the outer ones the biggest). The tight sleeves of the jacket (each with two additional, stud-covered bands topping thinner strips along with three very small, white spikes above the wrists) are cuffless, ending in black gloves. Finally, King has a pair of large, black-feathered wings sprout from his back. Though it is unconfirmed if they are natural, their disappearance with King's pteranodon transformation may imply that they are. In his full pteranodon form, the aforementioned flames further engulf his back. Like Queen, King is extremely rude and critical of his crewmates, constantly deriding Queen and especially Jack for their actions. According to Queen, he is a "torture-loving pervert". Showing initiative and being seemingly good at making big decisions under pressure, King personally engaged with Big Mom and her crew to keep them from entering Wano despite not being ordered to do so by Kaido. Likewise, he is not intimidated by Big Mom, bluntly refusing her offer to join her. King even took the initiative to summon the Tobiroppo after hearing that Kaido was looking to address a problem with Yamato, and acted conniving by framing the summons as one from Kaido since he knew the Tobiroppo would not answer to him. While loyal to his crew and Governor-General, King has no qualms about betraying allies who are outside of their direct organization, as he lent his sword to Kaido to decapitate their ally Kurozumi Orochi, whom they had been friendly with for 25 years.[8] Likewise, King also shared Kaido's cruelty and ruthlessness, having no qualms executing even a child like Momonosuke, even demanding Sanji to hand over Momonosuke as his execution is necessary for Kaido's New Onigashima Project. As an All-Star of the Beasts Pirates, King holds great authority in the crew, second only to Kaido's, and is one of the crew's three strongest warriors, alongside Queen and Jack. Befitting his epithet of "Conflagration", King can generate fire in his humanoid and pteranodon forms (though whether this is a passive attribute of his or something he can actively control remains to be seen).King possesses tremendous physical strength. He easily threw Shinobu with great force after grabbing her by the head, repressed a Raid Suit-donning Sanji by grabbing his neck one-handed, and blocked a powerful kick from the latter using his own leg. King is very fast and agile, leaping across a great distance within a single moment. King ate from the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon, an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a pteranodon-human hybrid and full pteranodon at will. When transformed, he gains the ability to fly. His full-beast form is extremely large and powerful enough to inflict significant damage upon objects he flies into, with his beak potentially yielding great piercing power. King carries a large katana on his right hip, befitting his size. It sports a plain-round, golden tsuba and matching gold kojiri, with tsuka-ito of dark-orange color forming traditional rhombus gaps, showing the lighter-orange same. It is sheathed in a saya of the same orange as the tsuka-ito, and below its mouth are two red cords with hanging, tufted ends.

Izo

Izo is the former commander of the 16th division of the Whitebeard Pirates. He is also the older brother of Kikunojo. Before becoming a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was a former resident of Wano Country, and the heir of his father's dancing school, Hanayanagi School (花柳流 Hanayanagi-ryū?) in Ringo. Like Kiku, he is also associated with the Kozuki Family, namely Kozuki Oden, being one of his retainers. Izo is a cross-dressing man who wears a pink and purple kimono. He has a pale complexion and hair tied in a way resembling that of a geisha. He has a loose, long strand of hair that hangs over the right side of his face. He also carries another Japanese-looking, light-red spotted indument tied around his waist.



After the timeskip, he is shown to have a small scar over his right eye, his hair appears longer, and he has second shorter strand of hair hanging over the left side of his face. During the Wano Country Arc, he wears a light-colored kimono bearing the simplified version of the Whitebeard Pirates' Jolly Roger with an added flame motif, as well as a dark cape. Izo also wears dark-colored gloves. When he was a child, he was seen dressing as a geisha, wearing a kimono with a diagonal spot design. He had the top of his head shaven, with his bangs parted and the back tied up and pinned. He was also seen holding Japanese fans and dancing. Izo is very loyal to the Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard, as he was willing to risk his own life in order to save Ace from execution during the Battle of Marineford. Prior to joining the Whitebeard Pirates, Izo was loyal and very close to Kozuki Oden after he found both him and his younger sibling Kikunojo on the streets of Ringo dirtied and hungry. Even 20 years after Oden's death, Izo is still very loyal to him, having returned to Wano in order to take revenge on Orochi and Kaido. Izo appears to value a glorious and meaningful death over his own life, stating that he missed the chance to have one too many times, and is therefore ready to lose his life in the raid against Kaido's dominion over Wano. Izo is extremely adept with his pistols, especially in close quarters combat. With a single shot, he was able to break a sword in half as well as injure its owner by shooting it just moments before it slashed him. As the Scabbards prepared to attack Kaido, he is shown disarming King of his sword with a single shot. He wields a pair of flintlock pistols. During his time in Wano Country, he was seen wielding a sword in order to assist Oden to fight against Ashura Doji. He was also seen carrying a sheathed sword by the end of the Battle of Marineford.

Yamato

Yamato is the daughter of Kaido. She often presents as a man as a result of her aspiration to emulate the legendary samurai Kozuki Oden, and is widely referred to as Kaido's son. Yamato is tall, though not nearly as tall as her father, being slightly over twice Luffy's height. She has long, light-colored hair that is tied into a ponytail at the back, which turns dark further down and ends in rectangular locks similar to her father's. Her horns are similar to Black Maria's, in that the pair of horns are atop her head, and start out light-colored but then turn darker.




She has large eyes with prominent eyelashes, and wears hoop earrings on her ears. Much like Oden, Yamato wears a large nio-daisuki on her back. She wears a pair of hakama pants and sandals, and had exploding cuffs around her wrists with a short chain attached to each of them until Luffy removed them. When in disguise, she wears a hannya mask over her face, which has a wig of an extremely long and wild mane attached to the top and a long goatee attached to the bottom. She wears a multi-colored kimono with a diamond-shaped design on both sides of her chest; she wears the kimono traditionally when disguised, but after revealing her face to Luffy she ripped off the sleeves and made the garment more form-fitting. Yamato holds immense admiration for the legendary samurai Kozuki Oden, emulating every aspect of him, including his appearance, goals, and even his gender, reasoning that, since Oden was a man, she herself chose to become a man. Yamato wishes to fulfill Oden's dream of reopening the borders of Wano Country. Due to her admiration of Oden, she often confuses herself with the samurai. Yamato is a very powerful warrior, with Black Maria noting that bringing her back to Kaido's fortress after she had left would be a difficult task. Yamato possesses monstrous strength resembling her father's, being capable of wielding a large and heavy kanabo and using it to knock out Ulti, an Ancient Zoan user and one of the Tobiroppo, with just one blow. She was able to physically match Luffy's strength with relative ease, even when the pirate increased his strength exponentially with Gear Second and Gear Third. Yamato countered a punch from Luffy with her foot, resulting in a powerful collision that destroyed much of the surrounding wall and ceiling and blew back the Beasts Pirates around them. Due to her large size, she is capable of easily picking up the average-sized Luffy and holding him with just one arm while running. Yamato is quite fast, being able to lunge forward with blinding speed to attack her targets as well as outrun members of the Beasts Pirates chasing after her. She was also able to completely elude the pirates around her in the aftermath of her clash with Luffy and take him to the attic without anyone seeing them. Yamato wields a giant kanabo club much like her father, though her kanabo is studded and more slender, while Kaido's is spiked and a bit thicker. In addition to the kanabo being a powerful blunt weapon, Yamato has masterful technique with it, being capable of moving it to counter Luffy's rapid attacks with little effort.

GTA Online Ban Wave 2020 Hits Players With Suspected Accounts

Glitches have become a synonymous part of the everyday gaming experience. It is hard to deny that they have been ever so present since the industry started. However, modern games with their complex design pose a greater chance for them to be discovered.


Sometimes, these glitches are a great way of having some fun but big developing studios take care that it does not break the game for others. Especially, in an online game where players exploiting bugs might threaten other fellow players. Something similar has happened with GTA : Online over the past few days. Recently, a money glitch was discovered in the game which allowed exploiters to make big money on the fly. The news spread around quickly and soon a large number of players got involved in it. To their surprise, Rockstar has taken a strict action against them. Lets take a look at what has happened. After players exploited the now infamous apartment/garage money glitch, Rockstar has started to ban guilty users.



What is being termed as ‘Ban Wave 2020’ sees the developers resetting, banning or money wiping suspected accounts. Many players have had their accounts as old as 5+ years reset and this is not the end of it. Rockstar Games has done such ban/reset waves in the past as well. This shows their strict action policy towards unfair means of play. After the event of account ban and reset, many players have started to grief over social media. Although many have accepted their fate in good terms, there are some who are not happy about it. However, to be fair they knew what they were getting into and it’s consequences. Players are now warning others about the garage glitch but Rockstar has been one step ahead in taking down any related content, memes etc. Unfortunately, there is no way to appeal for an apology or recover the lost accounts. It is a sad news for the exploiters but certainly a well deserved one. Rockstar Games has denied to discuss this topic any further. The only way around this situation is to create a new character and start the game all over again.

Blackberry Is Reintroducing Its Physical Keyboards

Two years after the underwhelming release of the KEY2 LE, BlackBerry is once again making a comeback, this time under the helm of Texas-based startup OnwardMobility. The American company has now acquired the BlackBerry license and plans to release an inaugural model as early as next year. While information regarding the upcoming smartphone remains scarce at this time, we know that it’ll run on Android, have 5G support, and of course, carry the brand’s emblematic physical keyboard, which OnwardMobility says will be created in-house from fresh, instead of simply reusing old designs.




“We see a lot of enterprise experiences being enabled by 5G,” OnwardMobility CEO Peter Franklin told the The Register. “Productivity, along with security, is enabled by 5G in many ways. Your business executive running these mission-critical apps will benefit greatly when you have 10 to 100 times faster speeds with [lower] latency.” “Top of mind for us is not just making the most secure and productive device, but also being an everyday device,” he continued. “That means things like a top-notch camera, and the other specs you’d expect from your day-to-day phone. Simultaneously, we know that we must be competitive, and so is our pricing.” Elsewhere in tech, Apple is now worth $2 trillion USD.

WALD Releases a Rugged "Black Bison" Kit for the Suzuki Jimny

WALD, known for its VIP styling kits for luxury German automotive brands like Mercedes-Benz, has just given North America another reason to hanker for the Suzuki Jimny. Straying from its affinity for dressing up sleek sedans, the tuner has chosen the compact Jimny 4×4 and given in a rugged makeover kit.




The Black Bison Edition kit is something between a G-Wagon and a Jeep Rubicon, with its Over Fender Kit (an 8-part aero kit that makes each side of the Jimny 30mm wider), LED light bars, JAPAMERICANA Grille, bonnet scoop cover, smoked indicators, spare tire cover, roof spoiler, and chrome accents. Each body piece is also available in the choice of either ABS or FRP. Fully-kitting out your Jimny won’t come cheap, however, as the price for each part runs from ¥22,770 JPY ($215 USD) for the basic components, up to ¥78,747 JPY ($745 USD) for the main parts like the hood and the light bar. Head over to nengun to see the full build. In other automotive news, Ferrari’s second-quarter earnings are down 60 percent.
