Second born of Gabriel Lafayette and Astrid Melchers.

He is by far the strongest (physically) of the Lafayette siblings. He always had an fantastic metabolism... And despite his predispositions, Ismael always been the bravest of all, training harder than anyone!

Child, he used to be very protective toward his brothers and  sister; he was a loving brother... but since he ate the Yamo Yamo no mi, he slowly became cold, ambitious and obsessed, always looking for his father's recognition (which he never had).

Ismael, through years of pratice, mastered his devil fruit's power in a very weird way : unlike any other Zoan user, Ismael was not able to transform himself. However, he developped strange and subtle properties of his fruit : as he was mastering his fruit, his blood became colder and colder, and was soon enable to feel any kind of compassion. In addition, his healing ability became superhuman; even his sweat and saliva property changed and became toxic.... Nowaday, Ismael is far more Gecko than Human in many ways.

The cold blood of the Gecko flowing into Ismael's veins made him a pityless killer, feared in all South Blue.

He's always been Marie Eauval's favorite grand son, certainly because of his brutality... And because of that, Ismael probably thought he could became the next 'True Voodoo Child' (the 'Child') and supreme leader of the Voodoo Empire.

The night whitebeard attacked the crew, Ismael got cocky and bold; He defied whitebeard but the old man just obliterated him, annihilating his left arm in a sec... Without Izam getting in whitebeard's way, Ismael would have died this night... his devil fruit helped him scared his wound before he lost too much blood to survive.

Ismael was not in any condition to fight, but decided anyway to stand against the marine when it showed up, to give the time to the survivors to run away. Gin, Ismael's uncle, was the officer leading the division that day. He captured Ismael and Okval and sent them to Impel Down.

During his 7 years of imprisonment, Ismael always thought his father died by the hand of whitebeard's crew during that night, and with him the ancient power of the 'Child'. But when he finally found out a way to escape from Impel down, Ismael met Blackbeard, an old friend of his father, who told him he was alive.

Ismael, Okval and Hugo managed to find Izam and the others after many months of search. At this moment, Ismael proclaimed himself captain of the crew Izam used to handle for many years, without knowing he was in the presence of the new 'Child'.

Ismael had only one goal, find his father in order become the new 'Child'. it's after one year of journey Ismael realised how foolish he's been, when he saw Izam took the soul of Zackary Owell-Zorn in front of him. This day he understood  how blind he's been all those years and begged his brother to forgive him. Izam just answered him : "Ismael, you are my brother and my blood, there is nothing to forgive! everyday I thank the ancestors for bringing you back safe to us! I am the one asking for your forgiveness... Because i've never been able to rescue you my dear brother! So forgive me, please, forgive me!"

For the first time in decades, Ismael's heart warmed up. And from this day, Ismael serves his brother and Captain, Izam Lafayette.

Aaaaaah. There he is. 'Black Scale' Ismael Lafayette. Been waiting for you to post this man, dude. The very first character of yours that I saw, which started my time watching yo ass! XDXDXDXD And he is far more demonic looking than his debut back in the day. Absolutely loving that head of dreads he has. Also, I want that belt buckle of his, not going to lie. So badass.

Wow. So his Devil Fruit power changed him from a kind, caring brother into a merciless killer? Never really imagined Ismael being anything but a smirking deranged powerhouse pirate... Odd to see him as anything else, honestly. But hey, that is awesome character development, eh? XD

Of couse Marie would've fallen in love with Ismael only after he started to become a killer. That damn woman. T__T On that note, I have a question. Is there really a Voodoo Empire? Like a nation who is ruled by the Lafayette family, or at least acknowledge's the Lafayette's as their rulers, even when they're off doing their own thing? Because seriously, that would be AWESOME! >XD

Yeah, Ismael get this shit WRECKED by Whitebeard. But damn, he still managed to get back up and fend off his uncle and the rest of the marines so his crew could escape, even with his arm being blasted off him? Jesus Christ. Ismael really IS a tough mofo! Respect.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!! Dude, I'm not even going to lie to you here. I can't wait to see Izam redesigned. That was so goddamn sweet, I think I'm going to get a cavity from it. After all the hellish training and being borderline brainwashed from childhood to be nothing but a ruthless killer by Marie and Gabriel, it was his brother Izam who brought Ismael back from the brink! Gaaaaaaah!! Yes. Just so much YES!! TT U TT 

Man, I can't wait until after you do Izam and we can get to see some of the stories illustrated for us. We need to see how some of these things played out. As usual, amazing piece you've given us. Keep it up, and will await the next update.

don't get me wrong, Ismael's always been kind of rough. He is a tough guy, but yeah, his brothers and sister used to be his whole world, he could give his life for them... espacially Izam : children, Ismael was fascinated by Izam's talent... but the years passing and the fruit helping, the fascination slowly turned into jealousy... Until the day he realized Izam was the new Child: he understood how childish he's been all those years. He realised he never stood a chance becoming the next Child.. Yeah Izam is that good     (and deep inside, Ismael always knew it... he just never accepted the reality.. until this day of course)


To answer to your question : Yeah there is a Voodoo empire, ruled by 9 Voodoo families. Actually, with the power of the 'Child', the Lafayette has the supreme authority on the Voodoo Empire, but every Family got his own nation and rules.
Every Voodoo Family has a leader, also known as the "Lwas". They are all kings and queens in there own country but are still the vassals of the Child.
To just name some of them, you've got : 'the skull', 'the hunter', 'the spider', 'the doll', 'the dark spirit', etc.

I'm currently working on Izam, it's taking me a lot of time but I think I can finish him today.. or at least tomorrow

hope you'll enjoy!

Ismael looking like a genuine monster, I could imagine it now, him and his crew sailing and stirring up trouble in the new world.
I have a question around what time did him, and his crew begin sailing??

Sydhius In reply to ArdentAM [2017-05-14 07:05:14 +0000 UTC]

Ismael's parents are both pirates, and he is born, like his brothers and sister, on the pirate ship... so he's always been sailing... under his father's order first... And now he is sailing in the new world with his siblings and the Voodoo Child crew ^^

ArdentAM In reply to Sydhius [2017-05-14 15:23:03 +0000 UTC]

That's awesome since birth, and he was born 11 years before Roger's execution so that means his family was of the few that had been Pirateering before Roger began "The Great Age of Pirate's".
Has him or anyone in his family ever had an interest in the "One Piece" or did they dedicate their time to the Voodoo Empire?

Sydhius In reply to ArdentAM [2017-05-15 04:54:47 +0000 UTC]

the 'One Piece'... no, not really... And as you maybe already noticed, not everyone in the Lafayette familly is a pirate : Actually only Gabriel and his children are....

Gabriel chose the pirate's life for reasons unknown... He's is obviously looking for something, because he's not the kind of guy sailing for no reasons ^^  (but no one knows his motivations)

concerning his children, they didn't have really a choice.... they was born pirates.. And it is not something you can retire from easily: Isamel enjoy his life the way it is... Izam and Irma in another hand, it's a bit different... I may go more in depth later about those two though
