Tako

Tako (タコ Tako,) despite his appearance, is one of the Ika Bounty Hunters; a group of bounty hunters who pursue exceptional pirates with high bounties, and who hold positions similiar to that of a pirate crew. He is also the consumer of the Rocket Rocket Fruit, as well as being Ika's pet seagull and childhood friend; having originated from the same island Ika had; Loguetown. Tako's only known goals seem to be the desire to aid his friend, Ika, in the chase of catching the next Pirate King; in the hopes that this will make Ika a famous and noteworthy bounty hunter.

Personality
Tako's a rather easy-going seagull. He doesn't make much commotion and follows the others' orders with no questions asked (even if he could talk.) Tako is the most loyal to Ika, who had befriended Tako since childhood. Tako's a bit of a glutton, so he likes to swipe food from anywhere or anyone he can get it from.

Physical Strength
Tako is a semi-average seagull, so he has no enhanced strength.

Agility
Tako spent years alongside Ika, honing his speed and turning abilities. Tako is now one of the fastest and most graceful seagulls in the world.

Endurance
Learning that he'd need it to stay with Ika, Tako had Ika train him to become strong enough to continue fighting, even when faced with stronger opponents.

Devil Fruit
Roketto Roketto no Mi

Summary: A rather strange Devil Fruit that allows Tako to create jet turbines anywhere on his body, allowing him to fly at extraordinary speeds.

Type: Paramecia

Usage: Tako uses this power when he needs to get somewhere in a hurry. It's also great when Tako gets involved in a fight.

Haki
Kenbunshoku Haki: Color of Observation: Tako has a limited grasp on Kenbunshoku Haki. While he has learned how to switch it on and off (unlike Ika,) his range is small. Tako has trained himself to be capable of reaching a range of 1/8th of a mile. Tako uses this power to avoid damage and as a way to make him a useful spy, since no one would even think to imagine that a seagull was acting as a spy for someone else.

Busōshoku Haki: Color of Armaments: Tako isn't nearly as skilled at this haki as Ika is, though he can still make an armor of haki to defend himself with. When combined with his Rocket Rocket Fruit powers, Tako can turn himself into a useful projectile, akin to a blast from a rocket launcher.
