King the Conflagration

Born as Alber, he is a member of the nigh-extinct lunarian race from the Red Line, noted for their ability to create fire. Due to his actions and role, he is a major antagonist in the Wano Country Arc. King and Kaidou first met over 30 years ago, while both were held captive on Punk Hazard as research subjects of the World Government. Kaidou eventually set the lunarian boy free and took him under his wing as the first recruit for the soon-to-be-founded Beasts Pirates. It was when the two escaped Punk Hazard that Kaidou gave King his current name, in recognition of his power, and declared the boy his right hand. King, on the other hand, was charmed by Kaidou's strength and self-confidence in being the only one who could change the world, and he ultimately came to believe firmly in Kaidou being the man who will become Pirate King.

Since then, King has come to enjoy a deep level of trust from Kaidou and, being steadfastly loyal to his Governor-General, is always ready to execute missions on his behalf. When Big Mom and her children arrived at Wano Country, King was swift to attack and knock her ship into the sea, on his own initiative rather than Kaidou's orders. King also immediately lent his sword to Kaidou so he could behead Orochi with it as soon as the shogun protested about Kaidou taking over the Flower Capital, despite having received no verbal instruction to do so from Kaidou, showing the great degree of trust and knowledge of another present between the two. Another show of King's loyalty to his Governor-General was when King bluntly and immediately refused Big Mom's offer to join her crew, in spite of her stated willingness to forgive King's transgressions against her. Kaidou, though seeing King as one of his confidants, did not hesitate to give the lower-ranked Tobiroppo a chance to challenge any All-Star of their choice to take their position, as the crew's hierarchy is determined by an individual's power, something King, on the other hand, did not complain about. As the Beasts Pirates' head All-Star and Kaidou's right-hand man, King holds authority in the crew that is just below Kaidou's own. In combat, King is extremely powerful, with his 390,000,000 Beli bounty illustrating his fearsome reputation. A veteran pirate, King has been part of Kaidou's crew since over three decades ago. Like the other two All-Stars, King is hailed as a "calamity" for his sheer destructiveness, based on his ability to create fire. During the war on Onigashima, King (with Queen) effectively engaged Marco, Whitebeard's former right-hand man, in two-on-one and later single combat, keeping Marco occupied until he ran out of stamina, all while King remained none the worse for wear. Later, King proved more than a match for Roronoa Zoro by going toe-to-toe with and consistently overwhelming the enemy swordsman in their duel, with Zoro believing that unless he figured out King's background, he would not be able to win. However, after Zoro had managed to figure out the secret of King's body and the means by which to hurt him, the swordsman was able to deal a decisive blow to the All-Star. Like his fellow All-Stars, King has a penchant for melee combat. His fighting style is a wild one, eschewing proper form and technique in favor of a brutal yet pragmatic blend of hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship. He has been seen disarming opponents with his swordbreaker-like katana to leave them vulnerable to follow-up attacks, and generally pairing punches and kicks with strokes of his sword. As a swordsman in particular, King has proven himself skilled enough to keep up with Zoro's powerful three-bladed fighting style, matching him blow for blow. King possesses immense physical strength. His feats include: easily hurling Shinobu with significant force after grabbing her by the head; repressing a Raid Suit-donning Sanji by grabbing his neck one-handed and blocking a powerful kick from the latter using his own leg (on top of, in the anime, blocking Sanji's Ryusei Osoba Kick easily with an open palm); slicing one of Marco's phoenix wings right off with a downward swipe of his sword; overpowering Zoro's three-sword guard with a single swing of his sword despite Zoro's own superhuman brawn, violently blowing Zoro back, and kicking the swordsman away with great force. Due to his lunarian descent, King is tremendously tough and durable, with Queen describing him as a monster that can survive in any natural environment. In combat, even without invoking his Zoan transformation, King is able to endure extremely potent attacks without being fazed or shedding a drop of blood. He has withstood powerful blows from the phoenix-bodied Marco, a direct hit from Zoro's Rengoku Oni Giri (an attack that defeated Killer), and Zoro's One Sword Style Iai: Shi Shishi Sonson, one of Zoro's strongest attacks that seemingly cut King from his head down the middle all without suffering any discernible damage. King can even endure an enormous explosion coming off his very body without being hurt in any way. However, when the fire on his back goes out, his durability significantly decreases. Despite his large frame, King is extremely fast and agile, able to instantly cover a large distance with one leap. His speed is far greater when the flame on his back is out, allowing him to move faster than the untrained eye can follow, at the cost of his natural durability diminishing. King is also able to fly using his black feathery wings without the need for his Zoan transformation.
