>"Dark Hood" Dirk Messir

You know full well that ain't his epithet, busta.

Also, regarding Dirk's backstory, I've figured out his possible introduction arc. At some point or another, the Rum Runner gets attacked by Marines who claim to be after an escaped "criminal", and that they received a tipoff that the "criminal" was on this ship. Sure enough, after fending the Marines off and taking a look round the ship, the criminal turns out to be slavery escapee Dirk Messir, who's actually in his second round of stowing away after the first round ended up with him deposited on the same island that the Red Rum Pirates were visiting at the time.

Unfortunately for him, the next island they're headed to is the same island he just escaped from Yuushuu Island - or Excellence Island, if we don't want to mix Japanese and English languages - a largely-industrialised land ruled over (and essentially used as a cash farm) by the Yuushuu nobility that recently lost a patriarch to Dirk's actions, as well as certain valuable Devil Fruit that the matriarch would rather have back to resell in order to recoup some of their losses. Naturally, the people are fairly downtrodden, and whilst Dirk really would rather they just moved on immediately, the inevitable happens, and the people begin to rise up thanks to the Red Rum Pirates' influence, starting to rebel almost entirely by the time the Rum Runner casts off again.

What the Red Rums don't know is that the rebellion is largely doomed to failure - whilst Yuushuu Kireina is more destitute than ever before, "destitute" is relative for a family which previously owned millions of Beli's worth of wealth and income; and whilst it does help delay future retaliation via Marine influence, hired security and the return of one of her children from within the Marines ultimately proves useful in quelling it and restoring the natural order, after which steadily increasing funds (now highly focused on one goal, rather than being spent laviciously like before) allow for an ever-expanding bounty upon a certain ex-slave's head, consequently fuelling assaults from both ever-more-powerful Marine forces and ever-more-intent bounty hunters, not to mention the occasional hired goon or fifty going after the Red Rum Pirates.
