History: Neol was always a big dreamer. He always wanted to become a Marine, on account his great grandfather was a Fleet Admiral once. Neol was to young to remember his name at the time. Neol loved to help people as a child, when ever something had gone missing, or some one was robbed. Neol would search night and day to find the culprit and bring them to JUSTICES! Neol, during the day, instead of playing pirates with the other village children. He sat in his room, and read the news paper on current Marine victories and different events accounting with the Marines. He'd always run to show his father, who was normally out side playing his guitar. One day, the village children came to Neol's house and began to tease Neol on being such a sour sport and how he never had any fun. Neol responded "I won't have fun till I see all these law abiding Pirates behind bars!". His peers pointed at him and laughed as they thought he was crazy. A kid changing the world, what a laugh they though. Neol slammed his front door and stormed back into his room. When he made it to his room, his father was sitting on his bed. He had heard the entire thing. Neol's father then told Neol that if he truly wanted change, he'd have to push towards that dream, not sit in his room and collect news papers. As a current Admiral, His father agreed to train his son to become a strong Marine.
At the age of 10-20, Neol's father vigorously trained his son in different endurance and strength test. Such as 400 mile swims into the ocean, while wresting with what ever Sea Kings may reside in the seas around him. And wresting giant black bears and fighting Zippy Napes (Very fast Monkeys). Neol showed no weakness while training under his father. Nor did he ever complain. As his strength and endurance increased. So did his ambition. Neol's father also ordered his son to lug two 500 pound boulders in each arm as he ran around the town 10 times. He his arms shook while he was running, he'd have to run 10 more. Neol ended up running almost 200 laps a day since he almost always shook. Neol's father also began to teach his son how to fight in hand to hand combat. Since he believed that your fist are your most deadliest weapon, he ignored all other man made weapons such as swords and rifles. Neol learned two basic forms of fighting called, Boxing and Wrestling. Since they were the only things his father actually knew how to do. Neol caught onto both the styles rather fast and continued his training with his father.
When Neol turned 17. He was able to swim through water like he were a hybrid of a human/fishman. His endurance had gone up 20x since he was younger. He could swim up to 6000 miles and not get tired, he brags that he could go from his Island all the way to the grand line, and surprisingly, No one doubts him! Neol was also able to hold 2 extra boulders balancing onto of his other boulders that he originally ran laps with. Even though his arms were stable enough to not shake. He ran 1000 laps each day on his own, with out the direction of his father. Neol had become a capable Boxer by this age. He was almost able to fight his father toe to toe when ever they spared. But Neol still had much to learn about speed while fighting. Neol was one step closer to his dream on becoming an Admiral, no...Not an Admiral, a FLEET Admiral!
At the age of 20. Neol was finished training with his old man and chose to hop on the next Marine ship that came to recruit new members. When the next boat came around, he hoped on it and left his home Island behind. From that day on, Neol worked as a low ranking Cabin Boy. For 10 years he NEVER saw the Captain of the Ship he worked on. One day while sailing on the boarders of the Grand Line, Neol's ship was raided by Pirates! The Pirates were all very powerful, to strong for any of the normal Marine soldiers that were on the ship to handle. Neol was hiding behind a barrel at the time while the fight was going on. He knew as a Cabin boy, he wasn't allowed to fight...but he had to do something. When the fight was over, all the Marine soldiers were out cold and tied up. The Captain of Pirate crew boarded Neol's Ship and called for the captain from the poop deck (hehe...Poop..)
The Captain then appeared in front of the hord of Pirates with out them even noticing he was there until he spoke. Neol saw his Captain for the first time. His Captain was a tall, long gray haired man with a long worn out Fleet Admiral Coat. Who was this man? Neol amazed how fast his Captain was. He stood behind the barrel and waited for his Captain to do something, but his Captain stood his ground. Suddenly, all the Pirates were falling out. Each one of them making a loud gagging sound while throwing their head back and falling out. After about 20 seconds, the pirates were all knocked out. Neol's Captain then slowly brought his foot up and stomped on deck of the ship and sent the entire crew of pirates off the ship and flying into the air. Neol watched them go up...but they didn't come down. Neol then came from behind the barrel and thanked his captain for helping them. His Captain then looked down at Neol and his eyes widened. It was Neol's great Grandfather! He had resigned as Fleet Admiral and became a Vice so he could patrol the seas more. Neol's great Grandfather asked Neol what he was doing her. Neol told him he was pursing his dream, to become a Fleet Admiral. Touched at the heart. Neol's great grandfather turned around and head back towards his cabin. He told Neol to meet him their when he was finished untying the other soldiers.
Neol after about 30 minutes. He made his way to the captains room and waited for his Captain to speak. His Captain sat in his chair and looked out the window that gave a beautiful view of the sea. Neol's great grandfather asked Neol if he wanted to keep this sea as clear and beautiful as it originally is. Neol strongly agreed. At that, Neol's great grandfather turned around told Neol that he would give him the proper training to reach his goal, at that. Neol had been promoted to Lieutenant.
When Neol was about 35 years old. He had partaken in many different critical battles in Marine history, and caused most of the victories. Neol had fought along side his Captain during every one of those battles. While they were not fighting. Neol was being taught even more forms of extreme inhuman like training. Neol's great grandfather told his grandson to begin lifting large Marine SHIPS! Neol then began lifting 1 ship every day 600 times. After he was about 28, he began lifting 1 ship with one arm 600 times, increasing his strength dramatically. Thus, he began lifting larger ships for the hell of it.
One day, the Marines got word of a huge number if pirates heading to Marine HQ to attack head on. The reason was unknown. Neol's Captain, had fallen to an unknown illness. Neol told his Captain he couldn't do this battle with out him. Since they were the only Marine ship near HQ at the time, Neol's Captain was in charge. But Neol's great Grandfather knew his time had come. He then told Neol, that HE was the new Captain of this ship.
At that, Neol grabbed his Captain's Old Fleet Admiral coat and rushed out the Captains Din. He ordered his entire crew to stand and guard the ship. He would take on this threat alone. Not believing he could do it. But he had no other choice.
Neol stood at the gate that surrounded Marine HQ with a large metal pole in his hand that had the Marine flag connected at the top of it and waited for the Pirates to make there way through the gate. As the Pirates left their boats and surrounded Neol who stood on the ground. The main Pirate leading the attack asked "You think YOU can take on us all? Foolish Man!". At that, he ordered his 15,000 men, armed with swords and other various weapons to attack Neol, then, aim for marine base. Neol took his stance, and waited got ready for battle.
6 hours passed and Neol had single handily defeated each and every one of the pirates him self. Even the leader. He stood on the pile of dead bodies and held his blood covered Marine flag and waited for any other pirates to approach him. Thus, a Marine Solider came out of the Marine HQ with a Sail Dial and handed it to Neol. Neol was then talking to current Commander-in-Cheif, hearing that he watched the entire battle while guarding the base. And that his loyalty and courage had earned him the title of Fleet Admiral.
With that, Neol spent the next 10 years keeping the sea at peace. Until he found Leon...
