Louis Le'cloque

Louis Le'cloque is an NPC played by Rustage in Rustage's One Piece D&D streams. He is a member of the Devil's Luck Pirates, acting as the crew's doctor and musician. He is a refined and proficient fencer, wielding a rapier and an unnamed Paramecia-type Devil Fruit with the power to manipulate time in small pockets of space. He was previously the crewmember of an unnamed pirate crew, though they have gone missing and/or died. Ever since meeting Cleo something has awaken inside of Louis, he has started becoming very eager to have a girlfriend, from simping over Cleo to immediately marching towards the brothels in order to get information about the Candle Base to now simping over Pearl. However, he has since stopped his simping ways.

Appearance
Louis stands at around average height, having a dark, tanned complexion and white hair. He is dressed in formal garb reminiscent of naval officers of the 18th century, with a large blue overcoat with gold trim, a bicorn hat, an epaulette on either shoulder, white breeches and stockings, and a pair of flared tongue black shoes. He also carries various time related paraphernalia on his person, including a clock on his bicorn hat, an hourglass at his hip, and a stopwatch resting on his overcoat.

Personality
Louis Le'cloque is a nervous and formal individual who speaks in a comical French accent because of a genetic 'speech impediment.' He struggles with self-doubt and considers himself quite cowardly. Over all, he is an emotional guy and expresses his feelings exaggeratedly. Whenever Louis is particularly filled with emotion, usually sadness or dejection, the area around him inexplicably turns black and white, while 'French music' plays in the background through an unseen music box. However, in spite of his outwardly timid demeanor, Louis displays a strong resolve when assisting his friends and crew. Especially females. He exhibits many tastes and passions of the stereotypical Frenchman, enjoying baguettes, tea, and fine wine. Louis is also terrible at Poker.

Overview
Louis tends to fight with finesse rather than brute strength, wielding a rapier to perform elegant, flowing attacks on his enemies. He also carries garlic on him to fight vampires. Recently, Louis has also asked William to train him in the art of the finesse weapon. Louis also has a small flag that reads "I love mimes."

Unnamed Devil Fruit (Proposed Chiku Chiku no Mi)
Louis possesses an unnamed paramecia Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate time in small pockets of space. He most commonly uses this ability to rewind the time around an injury to a time before it was inflicted, effectively healing the wound. However, he can also use it to reset fruit abilities or even rewind consumed food to its original state. When Louis enters a state of extreme panic, he is capable of transporting himself ahead in time, although he has no control over this ability and has only used it once. Louis can't reverse death, likely because it deals with the soul.

Musical Prowess
Louis is a great singer. Upon request from William or any other friend, he can sing French opera and create French instrumental songs seemingly out of nowhere.

The Napoleon/The Bonapart
A rapier that also has some small guns in its hilt, dealing extra damage when hitting. It previously belonged to an alternative reality version of Louis that appeared during the crew's fight against emperor Dominius, but after his death Louis took the weapon and used it to deal considerable damage to the tyrant. It is unknown if it has a Meito rank and what it could be.

Louis renamed the sword The Bonapart after episode 39 so to not be confused with Big Mom’s sword.

William
Ever since William and the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates first stumbled upon Louis in a shipwreck, he has shown a great amount of gratitude and respect towards William, often seeking consultation from him and following his orders. When William came to learn of Louis' self-doubt and pessimistic attitude, he began to display a significant degree of empathy and consideration of Louis' concerns and doubts, even taking the time to think of alternative methods of dealing with The Timber Lord than killing him just to avoid causing Louis pain. All in all, the two seem to possess a bond of trust and respect.

But had been acting strange and very self centered since he met Cleo. He healed the enemy, and disrespected the crew and William, his captain. When William gave him an order to wake up he just gave him sass and answered "Right now?", then when it was a false alarm he was upset at him for making him wake up from the dream he was having. William got very annoyed saying he was very disappointed in how he has been acting lately and once they're back on the All Blue they will have a serious talk.

After a little bit of thinking and a conversation with the captain Louis understood that the way he was acting was wrong and vowed in Episode 28 to give his all to be a better man and a valuable asset to the crew.

Duros
Louis has exhibited a great amount of respect for Duros as the First Mate of the Devil's Luck Pirates. Duros likes Louis and his polite, chivalrous nature from their first meetings and displayed a significant amount of sympathy for Louis after the death of The Timber Lord.

Verona
Louis' gratefulness towards Verona for rescuing him from his shipwreck is exhibited through his polite and respectful demeanor towards him. He was also the one to teach Verona how to use a Log Pose and navigate the islands of the Grand Line, along with its unusual and erratic weather.

Ragnar
Louis seems to have a high opinion of Ragnar's strength and dedication to his family. After the battle with The Timber Lord, Ragnar showed great remorse and sympathy towards Louis for the death of Louis' brother, digging the old man's grave personally. He had even attempted to inscribe an epitaph honoring his abilities and title as The Timber Lord, though Louis had wanted him to be remembered by his real name, Arrbor. Through these interactions it can be inferred that the two have a great degree of respect and trust for the other.

Pearl
Pearl and Louis seem to have a sense of polite cordiality with each other, even if they are not uniquely close. During the battle with The Timber Lord, Louis used his Devil Fruit to heal Pearl, potentially saving her life. He may have started to fall in love with her after his former beloved Cleo became a puddle of mush thanks to getting her head blown up by Bullet.

Gravy
Gravy and Louis haven't had any particularly compelling interactions, but they likely have a certain degree of respect of one another as fellow members of the Devil's Luck Pirates.

The Timber Lord
Arrbor, otherwise known as The Timber Lord, was Louis' brother. The two once had a deep and profound care for one another. However, one day, Arrbor began to follow a strange and mysterious god, to the point of obsession. While this obsession seemed positive at first, it rapidly escalated to such a degree that Arrbor was willing to endanger thousands of innocent people. Louis' self-doubt and feelings of cowardice originated from his inability to confront his brother about his zealotry. This feeling was only strengthened when Louis realized that in his panic he had travelled 20-30 years into the future, essentially leaving his brother unchecked for all this time. When the Devil's Luck Pirates finally defeated Arrbor and freed his captives, including Ragnar's family, Louis confronted him - but all Arrbor could think about was his god before he died. Louis decided to have him be remembered by the man he was, Arrbor Le'cloque, rather than The Timber Lord he had become in his decades of zealotry and madness.

Hemlock
Louis was very wary and mistrusting of Hemlock, especially since she was working for his brother. However, he agreed with the rest of the Devil's Luck Pirates' decision to allow her to live if she helped them defeat his brother. They left her in peace on Le Arbor after the battle.

Cleo
Upon first meeting Cleo, Louis seemed to become very withdrawn from her, not speaking a single word to her during the crew's first few days of travel to G4. However, the other members of the crew have noticed him staring at her quite intensely at various points throughout the journey, and he seems to have fallen in love with her, giving him the nickname "Louis Le'Simp". He believed that Cleo was a good girl and loved her with all his heart. Even going against orders from Captain William, he tried everything he could to help her.

History
Louis and his brother Arrbor lived in peace on L'Arbor and had a close bond. At some point, Louis consumed a paramecia Devil Fruit that gave him the ability to manipulate time in small pockets of space. One day, Arrbor began to follow a strange god, devoting himself to worship. This fanaticism escalated, and Louis fled Le Arbor in order to avoid facing his brother. In his panic, he unknowingly activated his Devil Fruit ability and travelled 20-30 years into the future. He would meet several individuals, such as Jean, Francois, and Pepe La Pew, forming a pirate crew with them, although he eventually become separated with them when he returned to the start of the Grand Line. It was here that his ship was destroyed by Laboon the island whale, and his shipwreck was discovered by the rookie Devil's Luck Pirates.

Louis instantly took to the crew quite well, feeling gratitude for how they rescued him from the water, and he taught them how to navigate the waters of the Grand Line. After acquiring transport to a nearby island to reunite with his crew, Louis planned on parting ways with the Devil's Luck Pirates; however, he found no trace of his crew, instead only a destroyed island and a small platoon of marines. After becoming aware of the fact that his brother, now known as The Timber Lord, was at large in this section of the Grand Line, he and the crew decided to head to Le Arbor and defeat him. It was here that Louis would finally come to terms with what had happened to his brother and the realization that he had travelled 20-30 years forward in time. In gratitude for the help of the Devil's Luck Pirates, he was recruited onto the crew as the official doctor, and decided to help them henceforth, becoming the 7th member of the crew.
