Name: Duke Satan
Starting Land: Southern Islands
New Land: Southlands
Steps Required: 1
Thread Type: Personal Saga
Mode of Travel: Normal
The greatest battle to ever grace the surface of the Southern Islands came and went - and Duke had the chance of a lifetime to observe it with his own eyes. Alongside Kiryu, Will O. Wisp, Bass, and some girl, they stood valiantly against the impending threat of a Kaiju shark, powered up with the shard of a Dragon Ball stuck to its side. Against all odds, the sheer power they have managed to unleash proved more than enough to crack its magically empowered shell and restore the fish back to its normal form, at which point, with the shard stuck to its side safely removed, it could be released back to the ocean.
That shard now rested in Duke Satan's palm as he stood atop a motorboat and stared into the horizon, awaiting the next chapter of his life begin. It was not the easiest decision in the world to accept the shard and choose to protect it from all evil which might seek to claim it - in fact, he had sworn himself to protecting the shard so deeply that he opted to not use it for anything except empowering the facilities of Satan City. Not using it craft any items, or sell it, or anything... for him, it was effectively useless. For him, maybe. For all of mankind, maybe not. Because empowering the facilities of Satan City was more than enough to repay for all the toil and sweat which he and his allies had to go though in order to defeat the Kaiju and extract that artifact.
That's right! Satan City shall no longer be just a distant goal, an idea within the mind of an ambitious man who wanted to do anything he could to help Earth's martial arts. Everything has been put into place! Throughout many years of travel, he has met many contractors, companies or private individuals alike, whom he offered his help in exchange for favors, and all of these favors shall soon be cashed in to provide him the manpower needed to construct the city. He has met numerous martial artists, as well! All of them have received the chance of a lifetime, to join him in what will soon become the capital of Earth's martial arts, where they shall be free to use the plentiful facilities provided to push themselves to the limit of human capacity. After all, if Satan City had no visitors, then what would it be worth to build for, anyway? The Duke of the House of Satan did not dedicate everything he had and every single Zeni he could offer to have an entire city for himself - what for, when he already has Orange Star City and the mansion of the Satan lineage there? No, Satan City was going to be his gift to all of mankind, and he did not throw its moniker of "Capital of Earth's Martial Arts" lightly when describing it.
And now, he had a Dragon Ball Shard. A legendary item which just oozed with incredible magical power. A power source, clean and plentiful, to power the largest gravity chambers, food production facilities and protective shields which humanity could possibly imagine! An item which shall allow Satan City to construct feats never before seen in human history was finally in the Duke's hands. Now, the final stage of his life long goal was about to begin.
But...
There was one question nagging the back of his mind which he was going to have to answer one of these days. Satan City and everything which comes with it is a fine goal in of itself. However, once the last reinforced steel plate of the city is laid, the last hyper technologically advanced facility is opened, and the last martial artist on Earth informed about the options which Satan City allows them... what will be next? Or, more rather, what goal will he strive for next?
Should he join his martial artist peers and take up on the quest to improve himself to the bottomless limit of the mystical fighting arts? It was an option which came to his mind every once in a while, but the Duke ultimately dismissed it. After all, he was no martial artist himself, even if he came from the lineage of the greatest martial artist to ever walk the surface of this planet. Perhaps this would make him a disgrace in the eyes of Mister Satan and his daughter, but it was something the Duke had to cope with. He will never be as powerful or as intimidating as people like Kiryu, or Bass, and he did not even strive to be. Perhaps he can improve himself somewhat with training... but it will never truly become his goal.
His real goal after Satan City is finally constructed eventually came to his mind, a few years ago, in fact. Once Earth's martial arts achieve their ultimate conclusion, where should the men and women who dedicated themselves to the practice turn to in search of new opponents? That's right. Outer space. Duke Satan could not believe that ki and martial arts were something which only inhabitants of Earth could acquire and train. Surely, beyond the reach of the Solar System, there must be plenty of alien systems and galaxies, each with their own life, their own civilizations and their own martial artists. Could you imagine what truly alien martial arts must look like? The mere thought of seeing how fighting practice developed under completely alien conditions, yet employing similar practices of ki as that of Earth, got Duke Satan's blood boiling with excitement.
That. That was going to be his goal once Satan City stands. To champion Earth's crusade to the wide cosmos and expand the horizons of Earth's martial arts to a truly unprecedented scale. It is said that the legendary ancestor of the Duke of Satan once faced off against a God of Destruction himself. So, could there be a better candidate to lead humanity's ascent to mortal godhood than the descendant of this legend?
