Background / History

Stuart was the dominant trainee at the CP9 Training Camp when Louis arrived. He led a faction of original camp trainees, maintained the camp's highest Dao Force, and was believed to have mastered more Rokushiki techniques than anyone else present. His strength and influence made him one of the three trainees broadly recognized as strongest, alongside Louis and Xiluo. 11 12 13 16

During the first assessment shown at the camp, Stuart swiftly defeated one of his own followers using Soru and Tekkai. Despite his harsh treatment of subordinates, he acknowledged Louis's higher Dao Force than his followers and cautioned them not to underestimate the twelve-year-old newcomer. 15

Stuart's position collapsed after Xiluo revealed his Cat-Cat Fruit power. Though Stuart fought with Soru, Tekkai, and Finger Gun Gatling, Xiluo overwhelmed him through superior speed, broke his Tekkai with Shigan Cat Claw, and threw him into the arena wall. 20 Following the defeat, Stuart became violent, repeatedly injured sparring partners, and lost both his former followers and his standing as the camp's leader. 21

He later accepted Skello's support after Skello's attempt to recruit Louis failed, becoming aligned against Louis and Xiluo. In the ninth-month assessment, Stuart challenged Louis to reassert himself as the camp's undisputed strongest trainee. 22 23 Louis evaded Stuart's attacks, countered his movements with Kami-e and Geppo, and ultimately restrained him with Tekkai - Hundred Thousand Strands. 23

Stuart refused to surrender even after being repeatedly offered the chance. Louis's hair pierced his mouth during the restraint, and Stuart died from the sparring match. He was formally recorded as the trainee eliminated that month, while Louis received only a symbolic half-month confinement. 23 24

Appearance

Stuart was a powerfully built nineteen-year-old whose steel-like muscles were described as containing explosive strength. Louis initially judged him to be a likely master of Tekkai. 11

• Possessed a notably muscular, hardened physique. 11
• Wore a wide, wild grin during his confrontation with Xiluo. 20
• Suffered extensive wounds and blood loss during Xiluo's assault. 20

Personality

Stuart was intensely competitive and obsessed with being first in strength, influence, prestige, reputation, and talent. He rejected Xiluo's attempted bribe because he did not accept the existence of a second place beneath him. 19

He was confident to the point of arrogance, routinely judging opponents by age or apparent strength. He dismissed Louis's chances against Yerika because of Louis's youth, underestimated Xiluo's abilities, and later believed he could reclaim the camp's top position by defeating Louis. 15 19 22

After Xiluo's defeat stripped him of his influence, Stuart became irritable and violent. His refusal to concede against Louis, even while restrained and outmatched, directly contributed to his death. 21 23 24

Abilities & Skills

Dao Force

Stuart possessed exceptional physical strength for a CP9 trainee, with a Dao Force above 1,000 on Louis's arrival and later measured at 1,300. 11 19

• Was the camp's highest-ranked trainee by Dao Force before Xiluo revealed his Devil Fruit power. 11 12
• His physical advantage allowed him to endure standard Shigan and Rankyaku attacks from Louis while using Tekkai. 23
• His Dao Force did not compensate for his inability to react to Xiluo's Continuous Soru or Louis's evasive techniques. 20 23

Rokushiki

Stuart was rumored to have mastered three Rokushiki techniques, and later was reported to have learned four. 13 15 19

• Soru — Used high-speed bursts to become difficult for ordinary observers to track; later trained it further after losing to Xiluo. 15 20 22
• Tekkai — Hardened his body for offense and defense, including his Guillotine attack and his attempt to withstand Louis's Shigan Siege Cannon. 15 20 23
• Rankyaku — Combined flying kicks with Soru during his fight with Louis. 22 23
• Shigan — Used rapid barrages such as Finger Gun Gatling and Shigan Storm. 20 22

Tekkai - Guillotine

Stuart combined a high-speed approach with a hardened downward leg strike. 20

• Created a large crater in the arena when Xiluo evaded it. 20
• Was later used as Rankyaku Guillotine against Louis. 23
• Louis neutralized the force of the strike by using Kami-e at the point of impact. 23

Iron Fist Great Pinwheel

Stuart spun his body and repeatedly struck the ground with his feet, charging at Louis like a rolling wheel. 23

• Relied on continuous rotational momentum and Tekkai-enhanced physical force. 23
• Failed when Louis used Tekkai - Utsugi to repel the attack and destabilize Stuart. 23

Relationships

• Louis — Rival trainee whom Stuart initially underestimated, then sought to defeat to restore his status; Louis killed him after Stuart refused to surrender. 15 22 23 24
• Xiluo — Rival who decisively defeated him and took his position as the camp's strongest trainee. 19 20 21
• Skello — Recruited Stuart after failing to secure Louis's allegiance, positioning Stuart against Louis and Xiluo. 23
• Unnamed followers — Subordinates centered around Stuart's faction; he treated them harshly but reprimanded them for dismissing Louis's strength. They abandoned him after Xiluo defeated him. 12 15 21

Story Role / Major Arcs

CP9 Training Camp Leader

Stuart is introduced as the camp's highest-Dao-Force trainee and leader of a faction among the original students. He demonstrates his Rokushiki by instantly defeating one of his own followers during an assessment. 11 12 15

Defeat by Xiluo

Stuart faces Xiluo as the assessment's main event. He refuses Xiluo's offer to go easy on him, attacks with Soru and Tekkai, and is overwhelmed once Xiluo transforms using the Cat-Cat Fruit. 19 20

Final Rivalry with Louis

After losing his influence, Stuart directs his ambition toward Louis. Their ninth-month assessment becomes his attempt to reclaim the camp's top rank, but Louis avoids his attacks, exploits Soru's linear movement, and binds him with hardened hair. 21 22 23

Death

Stuart refuses Louis's final demand to surrender. Louis pierces his mouth with a strand of Tekkai-hardened hair; the injuries prove fatal, and Stuart is eliminated from the camp posthumously. 23 24

Trivia

• Stuart was considered the camp's strongest trainee before Xiluo's transformed strength was revealed. 11 20
• His death prompted observers during Louis and Xiluo's final assessment to remark that Stuart had died “for a good reason.” 26
