Name: Joshua Belslick
Affiliation: Unaffiliated
Bounty 23,000,000 Beri
Profession: Bandit (Before he ate the Sanso Sanso no Mi, Joshua scraped by as a rough and tumble brigand in East Blue, floating from backwater island to backwater island, attempting to carve out a name for himself with moderate success. Once he had stumbled across it, he stole and ate the fruit, and quickly saw his bounty shoot up from the paltry 5,000,000 beri he had racked up over the years to 23,000,000, all in the span of a few months.)
Weapon of Choice: Before the Sanso Sanso no Mi, Joshua's favorite weapons were a flintlock pistol and hatchet, though he no longer uses them, now relying solely on the Devil Fruit's powers in combat. To increase the capabilities of his Devil Fruit, Joshua carries a multitude of tiny firebombs in pouches on his waist, which he can throw at any liquid oxygen he produces in order to ignite the element. The themselves are ignited by striking them on a hard, rough surface, like a match. They are very stable and not prone to unintended ignition. The Bombs by themselves are little more than spark flinging fireworks, only becoming deadly in conjunction with the powers of the Sanso Sanso no Mi. He also keeps a small flint-steel in his pocket as a last resort method of lighting his oxygen, should he ever run out of explosives at an inopportune time. Joshua also carries a small boot knife, but primarily uses it for eating rather than as a weapon.
Devil Fruit: Sanso Sanso no Mi (Oxygen-Oxygen Fruit), Paramecia: The Sanso Sanso no Mi allows Joshua the ability to produce and control a nearly unlimited supply of liquid oxygen, discharged from his body at will. Liquid oxygen is a pale blue fluid with a strong paramagnetic property, and is therefore attracted to magnetic fields. The substance is cryogenic, with a freezing point below -360 degrees, and can subsequently cause materials it comes in contact with to become very brittle. It also works as a powerful oxidizing agent; organic materials will quickly and stupendously burn while drenched in liquid oxygen. Since the substance also has an exceedingly low boiling point, it turns into a gas long before it reaches room temperature, make it extremely hard to keep any quantity around for any length of time, as it disappears almost as fast as it can be produced. In fact, it's boiling point is right around -300 degrees, meaning the fluid will evaporate very quickly in almost any circumstance, one exception being in a closed, insulated container. Evaporation can also be somewhat reduced in a similar way by keeping it in a concentrated place like an empty swimming pool, or a drinking glass. One of the main weaknesses of this fruit is the fact that the user is constantly in danger of suffering serious injury from the fruit itself; if the users are not careful to keep the oxygen well away from themselves before ignition (for example, not cutting a Freezing Gush off before turning it into Freezing Fire) the explosion and/or flames are liable to travel back to the user. For this reason, Joshua is very careful to remove himself from his own attacks, mostly doing combat from a distance.
Favorite Attacks:
Freezing Torrent / Freezing Fire: Freezing Torrent is basically a fire hose of liquid oxygen spouting from one or both of Belslick's hands, usually shot in a slight ark toward a target and is used to freeze and inflict frost bite on the enemy. Once Freezing Torrent has been cast, it can then be turned into Freezing Fire with the addition of a single spark from any source.
Freezing Wave / Immolation Wave: Freezing Wave and Immolation Wave are basiacally larger
versions of Freezing Torrent and Freezing Fire, except first Joshua collects the element into a large mound in front of him, then shapes it into a massive wall of liquid and shoves it forward at incredible speed. Once the wave is launched, it can continue to be pumped up with more oxygen, or turned into Immolation wave with upon ignition.
Freezing Monsoon/ Burning Monsoon: Freezing Monsoon begins with Belslick shooting a massive stream of liquid oxygen into the sky, amassing a large sphere. Once the size is to his liking, Joshua can do one of two things, he can either simply drop the ball of liquid, letting it fall to the earth and splashing down upon his enemies (Freezing Monsoon), or, he can ignite the mass in the air, causing it to erupt violently, sending super heated, flaming liquid flying in all directions (Burning Monsoon).
Volcanic Lake: For his final and most devastating attack, Belslick first does Freezing Monsoon, dropping it to the ground, creating a very large puddle of the substance around his drenched foes. Then, he simply ignites it.

Other: While Joshua's Devil Fruit grants him extreme resistance to cold, such that he cannot freeze to death or suffer from frostbite, it also keeps his body temperature around a very uncomfortable 75 degrees. This means he is constantly seeking a way to avail an outside heat source, such as basking in the sun, or sitting next to a stove. Even before the discomfort of the Sanso Sanso no Mi, Belslick was known for being a wild party animal, constantly eating, drinking and singing. Now, with the constant chill of his Devil Fruit gnawing at his senses, Joshua is even more apt to indulge in earthly pleasures in order to stay comfortable.
