Head of the Underworld - The Underworld is the whole system of connections, smuggling, and shady dealings which eludes the World Government's control. It is mainly set in the New World.
Dreams: Shoumetsu D. Urameshi, inspires to become world known shipwright in the New World traveling across the seas to read all of poneglyphs, and use that knowledge for revival of ancient civilizations/ruins. Due to the tragic past he experienced Shoumetsu has strict belief of justice, but more than anything he cannot stand those who support slavery and the selling of other races, and so left the Marines hoping that he can make difference by taking those down who are responsible for this.
Life Return allows the user to control their bodily functions. He is able to eat all the food within a giant refrigerator, digest all the food and most of his body fat, turning him super-skinny, than absorb all the nutrients in the food turning him back to his original size. He also uses Life Return to use his Hair Bind, in which he controls his hair to trap his opponents or form hands with which he performs Shigan. Shoumetsu however most dangerous technique is one he created allow him to utilize it imitate effects of Energy Steroids without the side effects; however, has drawbacks of its own.
Fishman Karate is a martial art that is practiced by certain skilled members of the fishmen race; it is noted that humans can also learn the fighting style, as Koala apparently is able to use it despite being human. While deadly enough on land, Fishman Karate has a number of devastating underwater moves designed to be suitable with the Fishmen strength and speed along with the mobility that goes while under water and, in some cases, a fishman's personal adaptation (fins, teeth, etc.). Fishman Jujutsu is another martial art that is practiced by the fishman race, seemingly alongside Fishman Karate. It is an underwater style that revolves around manipulating the water around them as if it were a tangible material. How the fishmen are able to do this is unknown, but it provides them with a massive advantage in underwater combat.
Zui Quan - Even though the style seems irregular and off balance it takes the utmost balance to be successful. To excel one must be relaxed and flow with ease from technique to technique. Swaying, drinking, and falling are used to throw off opponents. When the opponent thinks the drunken boxer is vulnerable he is usually well balanced and ready to strike. When swigging a wine cup the practitioner is really practicing grabbing and striking techniques. The waist movements trick opponents into attacking, sometimes even falling over. Falls can be used to avoid attacks but also to pin attackers to the ground while vital points are targeted. using Chi Blocking, Rokushiki and Fishman Karate blended together in perfect unison. Chi Blocking is an ancient technique that has been practiced in secret for centuries. It is a special ability that Shoumetsu, utilizes in combat against his enemies. Blocking someone's chi renders the victim's muscles useless and temporarily disables a person's abilities. Chi blocking is utilized by hitting pressure points with quick jabs and punches, and must be done rapidly, often giving little time for the recipient to react, and take down his targets alive without killing them. Shoumetsu can hit those pressure points with relatively light jabs using his fingers and knuckles. When intoxicated, Shoumetsu's blows are said to be unpredictable, as well as much stronger than usual. In addition, their speed seems to be increased exponentially, able to land seven blows on target in a single second, subsequently moving behind him, making it look like he had just moved through his opponent.
Santoryu is a style of sword fighting where the practitioner wields three Katana; one in each hand and one in the mouth. There are many different techniques for this sword style, including high speed attacks ("Shishi Sonson"), direct hit attacks ("Oni Giri") and compressed air projectile attacks ("Hyaku Hachi Pound Ho"); despite him being more comfortable wielding three swords, he is capable fighting with one sword using Iaido and Battojutsu. Battōjutsu is a field of kenjutsu which deals specifically with the rapid drawing and sheathing of a sword and it is the predecessor of the art of Iaido. Sometime after Shoumetsu left he increased his skill in this even further by using teachings of both Fishman Karate and Jujutsu with his swordsmanship, which allows Shoumetsu to generate, attack with, and cut with water. Although, due to the limited quantities of water present in the air, as a mere 1% at most of the earth's atmosphere is water vapor, the amount of water extracted from the air is quite minimal. Favorable environment and climatic conditions increase the amount of water one can remove from the air. He can condense clouds into a usable source of water when they are within close range of one, and also able to manipulate water pressure, allowing them to use water to grasp other objects or cut through without simply parting around them. Water can be used as a semi-solid while being able to move and flows like a liquid. Water can be pressurized to such a level where it can slice through metal, wood and stone.
Kyutoryu is an addition to Shoumetsu's main Santoryu. They are extensions of his spirit and part-illusion based and Kyutoryu effectively triples his potential as a swordsman and enabled him to shatter most of strongest defenses like he was cutting through paper. The techniques are accessed when Shoumetsu uses Asura, creating the initial 9-sword illusion needed to access the others.
Seismic Sense: The first and foremost of seismic sense's applications is the ability to perceive surroundings. By sensing vibrations in the ground, he can perceive his surroundings as precisely as normal sight, and in some cases with even greater clarity. The advantage of the sense over normal sight is that practitioners are able to pick up things that are barely visible or even imperceptible to the naked eye as well as things out of their line of sight. Obstacles that would normally obstruct regular vision, such as walls and thick dust clouds, are rendered ineffective against seismic sense. Seismic sense does not only provide surface vision, as the vibrations also travel underground, enabling the user to effectively detect caverns and other deep subterranean cavities which he uses with the ability to hear the voice of all things to find hidden history or archaeology sites. The practitioner must always be in direct contact with solid earth to use the sense at all and the ability only detects things if they are in contact with the same mass of earth the user is contacting, or made of earthen materials. If the user is in the air or water, or even standing on a non-earth solid such as ice or wood, the bender will be unable to sense anything through that substance. Sand, although an earthen substance, is not firm like normal earth and renders seismic sense "fuzzy".

Access to strange biologic adaptations depending on their aquatic sub-race, can manipulate water by using Fishmen Karate and Fishmen Jujutsu. Shoumetsu being half Siamese fighting fishman he tend have more aggressive personality in midst of battle, natural born fighter able to blend fighting styles with relative ease, and known to be faster as well much more agile than most fishman on land and sea.
Can talk under water, can communicate slightly with sea animals (slightly means, knowing only a fair bit of a certain language and trying to speak to someone whose main language is that one. You will only understand certain bits of their speech, lacking many pieces to make up what they tried to tell you. In other words, vaguely recognizing their words), and can communicate fully with large sea monsters, can breathe under water.
When Shoumetsu use the Rokushiki techniques Soru, Tekkai, Rankyaku, or Kami-e he gains x50 to proper stat(s) only for single attack or time of use. When using Rokuogan however, his Strength increases by x100, but leaves him drained afterwards for duration. When he combines Tekkai with hardening haki his endurance increases by x100, but he is unable to move.
Zui Quan Intoxication: He is gifted with an immense level of alcohol tolerance, being capable of consuming huge amounts of alcohol, emptying entire bottles and many glasses, without losing consciousness, and even retaining certain lucidity. When consumed freshly, alcohol is shown to enhance his powers, allowing him to employ his signature Zui Quan martial art, and thus making him deadlier in combat. Shoumetsu physical attribute stats gain x100 boost for as long he remain drunk, but more he drinks less he is able to tell friend from foe as well his marksmanship losing x25 for each bottle or gulp he downs.
Life Return: Heavenly Breathing Formation - Enhances the strength of the user, therefore his strength will become twenty times that of an average human. The multiplier is cumulative, so Second Activation will make it four fold, Third Activation make it six fold and each additional multiply will continue to increase the strength exponentially. Shoumetsu max his strength can be multiplied is increased sixteen fold, and while being underwater further multiplied his strength by ten, this made him at least three hundred and twenty times stronger than the average human (he is much stronger than the average fishman).
*Tekkai - The Tekkai hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, in order to nullify damage taken from attacks. When Tekkai is active, the user is unable to move, with the exception of Jabra's Tekkai Kenpo. Tekkai can also be used to enhance the users' attacks by the increased density one gets from using Tekkai, similar to Busoshoku Haki, although aside from Jabra, it requires the user to utilize Tekkai after they are mobile towards the opponent.
*Shigan - The Shigan is a close-quarter combat technique, in which the user pushes their finger into a certain target at a very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound.
*Rankyaku - The Rankyaku is a powerful projectile technique, in which the users start by kicking at very high speeds and strength, sending out a sharp compressed air blade that can slice objects and greatly damage a human body. However, it has been shown that almost any length of appendage (such as a tail or neck) at high velocities is also capable of this move. Because of Shoumetsu flowing fin from his forearms, he is capable of using it in fashion of cape with high speed swipe of his arm(s) to release out Rankyaku.
*Soru - The Soru allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power. It was revealed that the principle of this move was to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye. Moreover, Shoumetsu is unusually swift as he can move fast enough to create temporary afterimage duplicates to surprise unsuspecting foes.
*Kami-e - The Kami-e makes the users' body go limp in order to avoid any attacks, and float like a piece of paper. This can be used to dodge one-two physical attacks successfully, and up to three strikes within combo person equal or above. He is capable of using this in tandem with his Zui Quan, but he is unable to attack or do any offensive strikes while in defensive drunken stance.
*Rokuogan is the secret and ultimate technique of the six techniques "Rokushiki". The Rokuogan is the secret and ultimate attack of the Rokushiki style. It is stated that only those who have absolute mastery of the other six skills can have access to this seventh skill. The user places both his/her fists right in front of the target and launches a devastating shock wave in a forward direction. The burst is reminiscence to that released by an Impact or Reject Dial, capable of bypassing the defenses of a Devil Fruit user. The max Shoumetsu been able to do this is twice day, but if he has any severe wounds he is limited to one time.
*Zantetsu - The act of cutting steel, which certain particularly skilled swordsmen were said to have mastered.
Zankongouseki – The act of cutting diamond, which is very high level kenjutsu technique, only extremely skilled swordsmen are capable of accomplishing. In order to prevent damage to blade used for this, Busoshoku: Koka must be applied to weapon.
*Shirahadori - A defensive move in which the user grasps of catches an enemy's blade with his bare hands, Shirahadori is a difficult and acquired skill, but is also the only move shared between all five hundred schools of kenjutsu.
*Modoshigiri - The most skilled swordsmen using the best of blades were supposedly able to slice an object in two and rejoin the halves together, as if it were never cut at all. Shoumetsu demonstrates this when he cuts a daikon and then reforms it back together.
*Karakusagawara Seiken ("Arabesque Tile True Punch"): Shoumetsu punches at a fair distance from the intended target(s), so instead of the fist connecting, it uses the water vapor in the air to release a shock wave that sends them flying. This move is similar to Bartholomew Kuma's Pad Ho with the only difference being that the shock waves are not concentrated upon being released; but in exchange, it has a much wider area of effect. This move has a delayed effect, as the shock wave takes a while to affect the opponent(s) catching them off guard.
*Nanasenmaigawara Mawashigeri ("Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick"): Shoumetsu performs a roundhouse kick, which is strong enough to block gigantic Wotan's punch and break one of his fingers.
*Uchimizu ("Water Shot"): The basic version of Yabusame, in which Shoumetsu throws a single drop of water like a bullet. When used with Life Return to strengthen his power, the penetrative force of this attack is increased in an unbelievable way, to the point where it not only pierced through a person, but also through several structures and rock formations behind him, moving a long distance away from the location from which it was fired, and only then returning to its original state of drop and falling in the water. If enough water source is around instead of small water drop, Shoumetsu instead turns it into one large droplet, and then these large droplets of water can also be used by shaping them into serpent-like body resembling Chinese dragon, and thrown with power to easily punch hole through solid structure or even demolish large building, depending on its size.
*Yabusame ("Arrow Military Shark"): Shoumetsu first wets his arm or sword(s), then he uses his destructive strength to throw many drops of water, which are converted into deadly arrows through mere kinetic force.
*Umidaiko ("Ocean Drum"): Shoumetsu punches the water in front of him pushing it at his opponent and sending a shock wave through it. The shock wave hits the opponent dealing great damage and leaving a pressure mark on target body. This Fishman Jujutsu is only capable being used while under water, or opponent is submerged.
*Mizugokoro ("Water Heart"): The primary technique of this style that the user initiates by first performing a bowl-shaped gesture with his webbed hands (one hand over the other) while underwater right before giving the water itself around him a mighty yank. This allows the user to physically grab and redirect currents as if he were manipulating cloth. While on land if large enough body of water is around it can be formed around the user into Octopus Form of eight or so whip-like limbs which can be used to grasp or strike an opponent or to intercept incoming attacks. He can fire high pressure jets while in Octopus Form that can be used to force opponents back or even blast clean through a target if focused enough. Water jets are primarily used if the user has the intent of severely hurting their opponents.
*Kairyu Ipponzeoi ("Sea Current Lifter"): A technique used by Shoumetsu performed after Mizugokoro. He heaves the current upward, where it erupts from the ocean surface as a towering stream of water and pushing it further turning it into a high-pressure, rotating column of water. Capable of exerting a significant amount of pressure upon a solid surface, that allows the action of a drill.
*Mutoryu: Tatsu Maki ("Dragon Twister") - The motions of this technique is the same as Santoryu's Tatsu Maki, only this version is performed without swords, only with the arms. Shoumetsu's lack of swords means the technique has no cutting power, and is more used only to send the opponent flying. As with the sword version, the rotating motion of Shoumetsu spinning himself creates a spinning vortex, which sends the opponent several feet skyward. However, getting hit by one of his arms as he performs this move could also send the shockwaves into the unlucky victim's body, causing great blunt trauma and harm, as a sort of substitute in place of the cutting power of the original version. Like the Santoryu version, his aura appears to be a dragon beside him in this technique.
*Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri - A technique in which the user slashes an opponent at such a fast pace that it appears that they did not attack at all (in fact, to the casual observer it would look like the user simply walked past the victim). Only when a certain amount of time has passed, which is approximate to the time the user walks ten feet away, or three steps (verses, as the name suggests), does their opponent only realize the attack. It seems to employ elements of Iai (instant sword-draw-and-resheath) since it is generally initiated (though not always) with the user moving towards the intended target(s) with an unsheathed blade and walks past them before sheathing it back. It is usually at this point that the victims start manifesting and feeling the effects of this high-speed attack. The actual attack itself however, is never seen clearly due to the speed implemented. The technique is highly versatile, since with it, the user can slash multiple targets at once and if they so wish, the damage they inflict can be as fatal or as incapacitating as they like.
*Kokuto Issen ("Black Blade Single Flash"): Shoumetsu swings his blade Shusui to launch an invisible Flying Slash Attack, which is able to cut everything in his path, making a powerful long-range slice. With his Power of Destruction this attack is strong enough to cut ship clean in half, or slash capable of cutting apart large structures and the surrounding landscape like mountains or massive mass of ice around him.
*Kokuto Saku ("Black Blade First Day"): A counter technique. Shoumetsu awaits his opponent's next attack holding Shusui with two hands over his back. Once the enemy attacks, Shoumetsu counterattacks quickly with a powerful downward slash.
*Chi wo Hau Zangeki (Earth-Crawling Slash): Shoumetsu makes a downward swing to launch Flying Slash Attack green in coloration that travels at great speed through the ground. This attack is able to cut through steel with ease and rapidity. This is performed using Shusui to increase his destructive power and if used when haki armament is added onto the blade he can amplify power enough to cut harder substance or leave gashes in them.
*Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson ("One Sword Style Draw and Resheath Technique: Lion's Song"): Placing the sheathed sword upright and listening to the "breath" of his opponent, the attacker rapidly unsheathes, attacks, and re-sheathes their sword. An interesting note is that he does the technique back-handed as opposed to from the waist with a standard grip on the sword.
*Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri ("Charm Demon Sleepless Night Demon Slash"): A stronger variation of "Oni Giri" where the swords are twisted during the slash for added force, resulting in this attack striking multiple opponents instead of one. During its use, he generated a steam which made his swords look like they were bending. His aura appears as cloaked demon (with glowing red eyes in the anime) appears to be standing behind him when he uses this technique.
*Santoryu Ogi: Sanzen Sekai ("Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds"): Shoumetsu holds two of his swords at an angle against each other and rotates them rapidly while running towards his opponent to create momentum; he then slices up the foe with full speed and power. According to the name of this attack, this is the ultimate and strongest technique of the Santoryu. When used in the water Shoumetsu creates a strong water current trailing him, pulling any unlucky victims into his blades path or thrown about helplessly behind him.
*Tatsu Maki ("Dragon Twister"): He spins with his swords to create a dragon-like tornado that both slashes and blows away the target(s). This is one of his most powerful attacks on land and sea capable of creating powerful whirlpool. The aura of a Chinese dragon is seen accompanying him during the formation of this technique.
*Hyakuhachi Pound Ho ("Phoenix of the 108 Earthly Desires"): Same principle as the thirty six version of the same attack. Holding his two swords horizontally above the shoulder and the other in his mouth in the same direction, and then performs a circular swing that launches three air compressed projectiles spiraling towards the target instead of one or two, tripling the power of the technique, but with Shusui, the air compressed projectiles instead fuse and become a larger and more powerful, compressed air projectile. When used under water the projectile becomes highly concentrated compressed stream of water capable of cutting through steel and flesh all same.
*Karasuma Gari ("Demon Crow Hunt"): Shoumetsu performs a flying multiple slash technique. This attack is strong enough to cut steel, as it was first seen used to slice cannonballs. When applying haki to his swords while submerged under water he is able to slice up sea stone into pieces.
*Hyo Kin Dama ("Leopard Koto Ball"): He jumps forward while spinning in the air, forming a ball shape with his blades. This is basically a feinting maneuver, so even if the target manages to read the pattern of this attack and move out of his trajectory, they will still be cut as he careens past them. When using this technique, the aura of a leopard accompanies Shoumetsu.
*Santoryu Ogi: Rokudo no Tsuji ("Three Swords Style Secret Technique: Crossing of Six Paths"): An alternative secret technique he developed after two years of training. Shoumetsu manages to bend his body, and swing the swords in the form of an inverted "S" shape while performing a vertical spin, slashing the opponent six times simultaneously so fast that he did not seem to move at all. This technique's named after the Six Paths of Buddhism, that is said to be six states where a person is controlled by their desires and conquering them is able to transcend their animal nature.
*Kokujo: O Tatsumaki ("Kalasutra: Great Dragon Twister"): A much stronger and more effective version of "Tatsu Maki", where he performs the same action. He spins to create a dragon-like tornado that both slashes and blows away the targets, but the attack keeps going like an actual whirlwind and cuts up anyone who gets caught in it. While the old version only gave the victims small cuts and was able to break a Tekkai at its full potential, this new version seems to be able to cut through thick steel with ease. According to him, the whirlwind will not cease until its targets are sent to hell, a befitting description of the technique's name, as "Kokujo" is Japanese for Kalasutra, one of the eight levels of hot Naraka (hell) in Buddhism.
*Senhachiju Pound Ho ("1080 Pound Cannon"): A much stronger and powerful version of "108 Pound Ho", where he does the same exact movements as before, holding one of his swords horizontally above the shoulder of his sword arm, and then performs a circular swing that launches the air compressed projectile spiraling towards the target. This new stronger version possesses the ability to cut through a large stone wall or split mountain clean in half. The name implies it is ten times as strong as the previous version.
*Santoryu Ogi: Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai ("Three Swords Style Secret Technique: Great Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds"): An enhanced version of "Sanzen Sekai". He delivers massive slashes to his opponent one after another. This technique can be done airborne and is capable of cutting through a large amount of solid stone and sea stone with ease. He can enhance the power of this technique if he uses Haki on his swords to make them more durable and the attack even stronger. Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, often shortened to simply Three Thousand Worlds or Great Thousand Worlds, refers to Buddhist cosmology.
*Asura: Makyusen ("Asura: Demon Nine Flashes"): HE approaches his target and slashes them up using all nine swords and ends with a stance where all nine swords are in a wheel shape with his Kyutoryu a few meters away from the opponent, the wound is similar in shape to the sword stance, it is similar to Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri in that the actual effect is not seen until a few seconds later.
*Busoshoku: Koka (Color of Armaments: Hardening): This technique somehow uses Busoshoku Haki to harden the body (or parts of it) and objects which the user is holding. When a body, body part, or object is hardened, it becomes black and has the same or stronger effect than the invisible application of Color of Armaments. It is implied that Hardening is stronger than the invisible application as the characters who are able to use Hardening are not seen utilizing the invisible application. When both hardened fists clash, it releases a massive shock wave and black-lightning like effects.
*Life Return: Heavenly Breathing Formation - A martial arts breathing method that Shoumetsu invented by gathering up large amounts of oxygen to increase his lung capacity fourfold, he is granted strength similar to the consumption of Evil Steroid pills, even including temporary physical changes to the user. He has mastered this technique enough use First, Second Activation without risk; he can multiply his power after Third Activation. The technique, however, has its substantial flaws. If the user multiplies their base strength too much, the up rise of ki severely damage his body, leaving it thrashed, and could barely move without hurting himself why he placed limit of 15 minutes for it.
1. The first activation causes Shoumetsu's eyes to go completely white and he starts to give off a yellow aura. This is done by using his hair to hit certain pressure points on his body to increase his ki power using the oxygen to vitalize the body. If used while underwater it causes water to form a vortex around him before after few minutes closes back in.
2. The second activation causes his body mass to expand moderately, his muscles becoming distinctly more prominent. This is done by Shoumetsu removing the restraints of the brain on the muscles so 50% of the user's strength can be used increasing his muscle mass whereas normally, a person can only use 20% of their muscles' strength.
3. The third activation causes his skin to go red from increased blood flow, and further increasing Shoumetsu power with his aura becoming pulsing yellow glow from his body. Using the oxygen to forcibly increases his physical strength, speed, and temporarily re-energizes the body, allowing the use of taxing techniques like specialized Rokuogan.
4. The Fourth activation Shoumetsu multiplies his power in Third activation pushing himself beyond his limit at price of damage to his body going up to sixteen fold. Those who use this eightfold will secrete glowing blue-yellow sweat from every inch of their body which immediately evaporates from their own heat energy, creating an aura and may cause tissue tearing. When released sixteen fold will cause the user's blood to emanate a flaming aura of red steam from all pores of their body, hair, and eyebrows where if he is underwater it will literally start to boil around him.
Symptoms of pushing his bodily limits:
• Before 15 minutes: Normal, healthy state
• After 15 minutes: Normal, healthy state, however, reached limits of high body temperature
• After 20 minutes: Extreme, searing insatiable pain from within the body; muscle fibers are ripped to shreds, causing intense pain if anything or anyone touches them, nausea, delirium, psychotic episodes, heatstroke.
• After 22-25 minutes: Evaporation of bodily fluids, cognitive disequilibrium due to high body temperature user will black out no matter what at 25 minutes mark from dehydration. Body becomes completely thrashed and exhausted leaving user unable move at all, and any attempt to do so cause agonizing pain throughout their entire body.
Physical Description: As a human-fishman hybrid, Shoumetsu was born physically stronger than the average human, going by his ability to lift cannonballs at two years of age without problems and by his early teens he had toned muscular figure. His skin is pale with two red short eyebrows framed with green bangs. Born person of the sea, he has trademark bright turquoise eyes. Since his defection he used life return change pigment of his hair into silver-gray color, extremely long, reaching lower back, and it tapers off into many directions. His face tends to have an apathetic lazy look all the time except occasionally he smirks or grins. His daily attire since defecting consists of baggy, navy blue pants, a tied teal waist sash with seashell decorations at the end, and a dark blue open vest. He also has many accessories such as a double stranded necklace, an intricate gold arm cuff, two gold bangles on each wrist, and Black Den Den Mushi watch on his right wrist; he wears two of his sword strapped to his upper back, and Shusui tucked into his sash. Strangely Shoumetsu never is seen wearing any footwear except for wrapped socks with both of his feet having dial hidden in them. Because of when Shoumetsu served in Cipher Pol he kept his hair cut very short, and since leaving the marines he allowed it to grow out, while when traveling out in the open he tends to wear a mask to prevent any marines from recognizing him in wanted posters, keeping his true identity mystery except to trusted members of his crew. Stemming from his fishman heritage, he has azure colored flowing fins located on both forearms but more visible on him are noticeable blue-green shimmering scales on his upper arms and chest, also like other fishman he has three gills on his neck along with webbed fingers. This fin appears to be retractable as he is able to keep it hidden until he lets them out for his Fishman Karate attacks using them distract opponent or with armament haki. He also has retractable fangs that he can grow out by forcing his human teeth out of their gums, being able to choose between human teeth and sharp fighting fish fangs at his will. If he becomes bloodthirsty, his irises grow wide and red, similar to those of the fighting fish and the way Arlong's eyes change when angered.
Psychological Description: Shoumetsu usually maintains a laid back and observant personality, but often loses his temper in a goofy and exaggerated comical style. He is capable of strategizing very quickly and remains calm in a fight, enabling him to respond with maximum efficiency and with the smallest likelihood of misjudging circumstances. Even at a young age, his studies of history gave him remarkable foresight and deep fascination of collecting one of kind or rare items. He can also be extremely intimidating, easily frightening weaker opponents with just his glare. It has been stated that he has a monstrous killing intent, and stated that Shoumetsu is a born killer capable of showing no mercy during combat. He lives by his own code "Aku Soku Zan" (悪即斬, Swift Death to Evil), and follows a strict personal philosophy centered on that a battle should be measured by what was protected, rather than how much fame is gained. However due to his Siamese fighting fish bloodline he relishes the fights he takes place in and displays extreme blood-lust during battle. Likewise, he grows excited to meet any new people he deems worthy of fighting or anyone with potential to be a good fighter and entertain him in the future and will avoid killing them in order for them to grow to their full potential (so as to improve the pleasure of killing them later), or fight them for fun anytime they wish. When employing his assassination techniques, Shoumetsu enters a state of mind that helps him channel his strength and concentration for the sole purpose of slaying his opponent, increasing his combat strength. He compares the process to flipping a switch. Just like many others who bared the Will of D. Shoumetsu, seem to be able to withstand an incredible degree of punishment in battle and only surrender to death when they know it is truly unavoidable. In the same vein is an unusual behavior that seems to be common to "D.": they are often seen laughing or smiling right before they die (or think they're about to die), as though they have accepted their fate and hold no fear of death. Observers have expressed shock and confusion at this phenomenon, unable to believe that someone could so thoroughly come to terms with the end of their life. The marines who witnessed Shoumetsu thought he went mad before falling to his death because he was seen with wide grin and laughing as he fell to his death. According to scholars, Shoumetsu could interpret the Poneglyphs because he had the ability to "hear the voice of all things" which lead to greater interest in ancient secrets and also one of few known people in the world who possessed the ability to hear Sea Kings and Zunisha speaking.
History:
Shoumetsu story was not one full of joy and cheerfulness but one surrounded by the corruption of the world where the strong lived and the weak suffered. Rewinding back to pendulum of time the in order for one to make their way to the ending first they must retract their steps to the beginning. It all started when Shoumetsu reached the age of five already known as an outcast among the other villages surrounding them being result of outside breeding. Uro Yato was very caring man who raised Shoumetsu on his own, and when he was the age of five told him the truth of his father who was pirate killed at sea, and his mother who died minutes after giving birth to him with final request to Uro Yato. Not wanting her child live in fear of outsiders; and knew there was still danger in the world so begged Uro teach Shoumetsu, fishman martial arts at very young age and raise him not to hate humans. When Shoumetsu was 11 years old Celestial Dragons happened to discover their island and came in killing off his people while others were captured including Shoumetsu himself, which would develop into his sense of justice in the future. Uro Yato acted out in panic having his fatherly instincts kicking in and lashed out at the Celestial Dragon attempting to haul Shoumetsu away. At the price of successfully rescuing Shoumetsu, he was shot down, and left to die while dooming the rest of island with the fate of Buster Call. With this turn of events forced the other fishmen to turn their back on them striking deal with the government in order protect themselves, but those who sided with Shoumetsu would not go without fight preparing one final battle to avenge those who were killed. On the night that was soon to be forever known as the 'Blue Night' the fishmen rebellion fought back against the marines resulting in countless bloodshed and deaths on their side, and ultimately the annihilation of them with the island. Set to drift by Uro Yato before buster call caught Shoumetsu wanting him to live for those who couldn’t and with the final parting words "Bring on the hardship. It’s preferred in a path of carnage." Stranded in middle of sea Shoumetsu was forced to learn survive on his own, but through the pain and suffering he had to endure, he took it as good thing for it made his tolerance to pain stronger, and opened his eyes up to what he came to know as the truth of the world. Eventually Shoumetsu, had reached as far he could go on his own prepared to die drifting in the vast ocean when ship passing by discovered him heading to Karate Island and was rescued by sailors aboard keeping his fishman part hidden from everybody. Taken back to the island the villagers there became like family to Shoumetsu, taking care of him and even end up teaching him many fighting styles of Karate Island. It was there Shoumetsu became known as prodigy applying the teachings to his craftsmanship, and soon trained by master martial artist who ate Zoan Devil fruit: Rabbit Model. As years passed the two trained in the martial arts day on end up to the point he turned it into style of his own that complimented the tremendous power his fishman side possessed. One of the days during Shoumetsu training somebody from Cipher Pol was observing seeing him as talented fighter with great potential wished to have joined their ranks, and offered him life serving for the Cipher Pol which Shoumetsu accepted for his own personal reasons. Awhile after Shoumetsu had left to join Cipher Pol his natural born talents in combat due to his Siamese Fighting Fish lineage allowed him to quickly rise up the ranks at age 15, making it into CP9 and learning he possessed knowledge to read poneglyphs. By the time he reached 18 years old, Shoumetsu had worked his ass off proving himself to catch eye of higher ups and recruited into CP0; then at age of 20 he finally reached top of Cipher Pol becoming CP0 Leader. He served loyally to them carrying out his duties when asked for by Gov’t even when he found it morally wrong, but from being part of Cipher Pol he learned there was bit of corruption in government which marines turned blind eyes too. Wasn’t until his years serving for CP0 he learned how much this world was corrupted when he finally learned the truth about marines being lap dogs to Celestial Dragons and allowing them to do as they pleased to whomever, which caused him to eventually turn his back to government freeing as many slaves possible from Mariejois. However, before escaping with the others become pirate he committed worst cardinal sin once for all getting retribution for Uro Yato as well many others whom died by killing Celestial Dragon who was responsible. Unfortunately, things did not play out how Shoumetsu wanted being gravely wounded and cornered by thousands of marines, than in act of desperation he plunged off wall of Mariejois leaving world government to believe he died from fall; which through sheer willpower and miracle he survived but on brink of death. Sometime after he recovered from his injuries and before he joined up with Howling Banshee's, Shoumetsu used his information to find whereabouts of Underworld meeting to interfere in there, and killing one of the people in front of them becoming main person in charge of it. With resolve make world better place he allowed them continue running their things how they pleased and even helped progress things with his vast knowledge he gained from serving World Government as long they help him with his own personal goals which eventually led to beneficial mutual agreement with certain conditions on both sides must be followed, thus going by code name "Joy Boy" a prominent figure who existed during Void Century specially for fishmen.
Weapons and Armor:
Shusui is one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords and was once wielded by the legendary samurai Ryuma. It is considered the national treasure of the Wano Country. Shusui's blade is black with a distinct red hamon and its tsuba hand-guard has flower-like edges, hence it is a "Black Sword". Its red hamon (hardening line) is Kanemoto style, having the appearance of a saw or sharp teeth. It has no accessories on the hilt, being wrapped with black silk. Kashira, tsuba and kojiri end cap are golden, and the sheath is black, decorated with dark red circles split in even thirds. Shusui is designed to tremendously increase the damage potential and destructive power of the user. At one point, its commented that Shusui's greatest attribute is its durability, claiming that even if a dinosaur were to step on it, the blade would not bend a millimeter. He describes Shusui as having a "temper" that makes it harder to wield.
Juuchi Yosamu (十千夜寒, "10,000 Cold Nights") is very unique Meito sword, and known to be one of twenty-one O Wazamono swords. Unlike most katana Juuchi Yosamu is a full tang hilt blade with grooved memory grip without a tsuba, and material of blade is out of this world; literally being forged from meteorite crashed into ocean. Because of this the meteorite before cooling down melted other minerals into it, including that of sea stone. When the meteorite was smelted down and reformed into sword, additional sea stone was smelted into edge of blade in order to reinforce it, causing unique blue glow from meteorite resonating with wavelength of sea that sea stone gave off while rest of sword is midnight black in color.
Komainu Melody is Ryo Wazamono sword named after a Japanese myth: a lion like creature with attributes of a dog. It protected temples by warding off evil spirits. This katana gained its named due to swords intricate design having wind pores of various sizes along center of the blade, so when swung using the tachikaze, or "sword wind," all blades creates when moving through air to create whistling like shriek that causes target(s) on opposite end to become disoriented; making even dodging slash barely dangerous. Sheathe and hilt of the blade are pearl white in color with intricate patterns engraved on them. The hilt of Komainu Melody has violet-blue colored ribbon wrapped around it, single dark purple tassel hanging by short cord, and hilt pummel with shape reminisce too that of Komainu lion mane.
Belongings:
Shoumetsu is known to carry around a gourd, which he uses to store stronger version of Nihonshu and have it at his disposal to drink anytime. Such element is important in the execution of his signature martial art, Zui Quan. Allowing him to consume alcohol during battles and employ his abilities to the fullest. The object is closed by a thin cork bung, and possesses the hourglass-like shape typical to the plant, with the lower bulge being slightly larger than the upper one, and a thin rope being tied in the concave part between the two.
Bananawani (Banana Gators in the English versions) are giant crocodiles with banana-shaped growths on their heads. They are so fierce that they even prey on Sea Kings and are to date the Sea Kings only known natural predator, and they are classified as type "C" creatures being "Big Savage". Shoumetsu could control them as they are often seen swimming around with him and around his crew without any sort of aggressive attitude toward either of them. Shoumetsu has him well-trained as they would also follow his commands, and are always treated with affection making them very loyal to him; he is known to travel with fully grown Bananawani rivaling sea king, and powerful enough to pull Shoumetsu ship with ease. Because this Bananawani spent so much time around Shoumetsu and the ship he was exposed to IQ flowers causing him become much more intellectual and evolved earning him reign over other Bananawani. The two of them shares close bond with one another due fact when he was on verge of death after incident on Mariejois, he was responsible for saving him and named Sobek.
The Black Den Den Mushi, is a type of Den Den Mushi used commonly by Shoumetsu, as listening device or "wiretaps", to intercept calls between pirates and marines, or other miscreants. They are actually a different type of species compared to other types of Den Den Mushi. They do not grow as they age and remain a small portable size for the rest of their lives. They enjoy eavesdropping, and dislike communicating with others. Their abilities to intercept can be blocked by their counterpart, the White Den Den Mushi. Because of Shoumetsu controlling the Underworld he knows value of information and staying ahead of his opponent, using intell he gathers to help his clients and factions as well learn other valuable things benefit him on accomplishing his goal, and tends to spoil his Black Den Den Mushi treating him with care.
The White Den Den Mushi can be attached to other Den Den Mushi. They send out psychic waves that prevent calls from being intercepted; in a way, they are the opposite of the black Den Den Mushi. Anytime Shoumetsu is communication with Underworld factions or brokers he uses this and also for private information may being relayed to his Captain or other people of interest. Because of this the White Den Den Mushi is one of his most prized possessions along with his swords, so tends to treat with lots of care just like his Black Den Den Mushi.
He wears blue oni mask with silver beard that most people often always see Shoumetsu wearing in public, and even on his own ship depending on the people around him. The mask is made out of very durable memory alloy metal with cybernetic face mesh inside it. The cybernetic face mesh inside the mask allows the memory alloy to fit Shoumetsu facial feature comfortably and once worn it will be animated responding to any emotions expressed by him, allowing him to be able eat and drink in public without needing to worry about constantly moving it around to do stuff without revealing his true identity.
The Eisen Dial is extremely rare, and one of the most formidable dials used for combat. It emits a stream of "iron cloud" that can form into different shapes, like a cloud, but is as hard as iron. It can lengthen and/or widen without limits and can even form thick defensive walls but he tends use it more for transportation or encasing his foot in the iron cloud increase its power. Shoumetsu planning ahead of time before his attack on Mariejois used his connections with CP0 ten weeks in advance to obtain such valuable dial which he has located on his right foot hidden in his bandage socks.
The Thunder Dial is used for storing and releasing electricity. Hidden in left bandage socks he use Thunder Dial for adding extra damage to his kicks, or when used with his Fishman Karate and Jujutsu it can increase their power by giving them electrical charge. This can also be used defensively on opponents who try to electrocute or shock him instead absorbing that energy to protect him and either use back on them or for later.
The Water Dial is used for storing and releasing water, often kept attached to his sash opposite side of Shusui on his waist. He usually saves this for on land fights where water in air is very thin due to weather conditions or no nearby water sources are around to use his Fishman Jujutsu. It can store enough water to put out large fire.
The Vision Dial is used for capturing images and playing them back, comparable to a modern-day camera. It is useful for scouting and recording evidence. Shoumetsu lets a Camera Den Den Mushi live inside the Dial, this Den Den Mushi is able to take photos, creating flashes of light with its eyes in order to perform flash photography. The vision dial allows him store more recordings and images taken by Den Den Mushi, and instead of creating photos he can save them in devices, as well thanks to flashes made by Den Den Mushi he can even gather research in dark areas. He carries this with him where ever he goes, attached to the sash next to water dial where it is safer.

Head of the Underworld - The Underworld is the whole system of connections, smuggling, and shady dealings which eludes the World Government's control. It is mainly set in the New World.
Dreams: Shoumetsu D. Urameshi, inspires to become world known shipwright in the New World traveling across the seas to read all of poneglyphs, and use that knowledge for revival of ancient civilizations/ruins. Due to the tragic past he experienced Shoumetsu has strict belief of justice, but more than anything he cannot stand those who support slavery and the selling of other races, and so left the Marines hoping that he can make difference by taking those down who are responsible for this.
Fighting Style:
Rokushiki is a special, superhuman martial arts style. Rokushiki is the main style of combat for the World Government's secret CP9 agents, but some Marines have also demonstrated its usage. It is unknown exactly how much Rokushiki is spread around the Marines and how widely known techniques are, but it seems the most commonly known technique is Soru. Life Return allows the user to control their bodily functions. He is able to eat all the food within a giant refrigerator, digest all the food and most of his body fat, turning him super-skinny, than absorb all the nutrients in the food turning him back to his original size. He also uses Life Return to use his Hair Bind, in which he controls his hair to trap his opponents or form hands with which he performs Shigan. Shoumetsu however most dangerous technique is one he created allow him to utilize it imitate effects of Energy Steroids without the side effects; however, has drawbacks of its own.
Fishman Karate is a martial art that is practiced by certain skilled members of the fishmen race; it is noted that humans can also learn the fighting style, as Koala apparently is able to use it despite being human. While deadly enough on land, Fishman Karate has a number of devastating underwater moves designed to be suitable with the Fishmen strength and speed along with the mobility that goes while under water and, in some cases, a fishman's personal adaptation (fins, teeth, etc.). Fishman Jujutsu is another martial art that is practiced by the fishman race, seemingly alongside Fishman Karate. It is an underwater style that revolves around manipulating the water around them as if it were a tangible material. How the fishmen are able to do this is unknown, but it provides them with a massive advantage in underwater combat.
Zui Quan - Even though the style seems irregular and off balance it takes the utmost balance to be successful. To excel one must be relaxed and flow with ease from technique to technique. Swaying, drinking, and falling are used to throw off opponents. When the opponent thinks the drunken boxer is vulnerable he is usually well balanced and ready to strike. When swigging a wine cup the practitioner is really practicing grabbing and striking techniques. The waist movements trick opponents into attacking, sometimes even falling over. Falls can be used to avoid attacks but also to pin attackers to the ground while vital points are targeted. using Chi Blocking, Rokushiki and Fishman Karate blended together in perfect unison. Chi Blocking is an ancient technique that has been practiced in secret for centuries. It is a special ability that Shoumetsu, utilizes in combat against his enemies. Blocking someone's chi renders the victim's muscles useless and temporarily disables a person's abilities. Chi blocking is utilized by hitting pressure points with quick jabs and punches, and must be done rapidly, often giving little time for the recipient to react, and take down his targets alive without killing them. Shoumetsu can hit those pressure points with relatively light jabs using his fingers and knuckles. When intoxicated, Shoumetsu's blows are said to be unpredictable, as well as much stronger than usual. In addition, their speed seems to be increased exponentially, able to land seven blows on target in a single second, subsequently moving behind him, making it look like he had just moved through his opponent.
Santoryu is a style of sword fighting where the practitioner wields three Katana; one in each hand and one in the mouth. There are many different techniques for this sword style, including high speed attacks ("Shishi Sonson"), direct hit attacks ("Oni Giri") and compressed air projectile attacks ("Hyaku Hachi Pound Ho"); despite him being more comfortable wielding three swords, he is capable fighting with one sword using Iaido and Battojutsu. Battōjutsu is a field of kenjutsu which deals specifically with the rapid drawing and sheathing of a sword and it is the predecessor of the art of Iaido. Sometime after Shoumetsu left he increased his skill in this even further by using teachings of both Fishman Karate and Jujutsu with his swordsmanship, which allows Shoumetsu to generate, attack with, and cut with water. Although, due to the limited quantities of water present in the air, as a mere 1% at most of the earth's atmosphere is water vapor, the amount of water extracted from the air is quite minimal. Favorable environment and climatic conditions increase the amount of water one can remove from the air. He can condense clouds into a usable source of water when they are within close range of one, and also able to manipulate water pressure, allowing them to use water to grasp other objects or cut through without simply parting around them. Water can be used as a semi-solid while being able to move and flows like a liquid. Water can be pressurized to such a level where it can slice through metal, wood and stone.
Kyutoryu is an addition to Shoumetsu's main Santoryu. They are extensions of his spirit and part-illusion based and Kyutoryu effectively triples his potential as a swordsman and enabled him to shatter most of strongest defenses like he was cutting through paper. The techniques are accessed when Shoumetsu uses Asura, creating the initial 9-sword illusion needed to access the others.
Seismic Sense: The first and foremost of seismic sense's applications is the ability to perceive surroundings. By sensing vibrations in the ground, he can perceive his surroundings as precisely as normal sight, and in some cases with even greater clarity. The advantage of the sense over normal sight is that practitioners are able to pick up things that are barely visible or even imperceptible to the naked eye as well as things out of their line of sight. Obstacles that would normally obstruct regular vision, such as walls and thick dust clouds, are rendered ineffective against seismic sense. Seismic sense does not only provide surface vision, as the vibrations also travel underground, enabling the user to effectively detect caverns and other deep subterranean cavities which he uses with the ability to hear the voice of all things to find hidden history or archaeology sites. The practitioner must always be in direct contact with solid earth to use the sense at all and the ability only detects things if they are in contact with the same mass of earth the user is contacting, or made of earthen materials. If the user is in the air or water, or even standing on a non-earth solid such as ice or wood, the bender will be unable to sense anything through that substance. Sand, although an earthen substance, is not firm like normal earth and renders seismic sense "fuzzy".

Power Up:
Fishman get a 10x Strength, Endurance, Stamina Power Up right off the bat. Siamese fighting fish attributes give him x20 boost start in Speed, but being half fishman he is not as strong in water compared to pure blood fishman. Underwater, all of his Power Ups double so that´s multiplying 2 x every Power Up they have.Access to strange biologic adaptations depending on their aquatic sub-race, can manipulate water by using Fishmen Karate and Fishmen Jujutsu. Shoumetsu being half Siamese fighting fishman he tend have more aggressive personality in midst of battle, natural born fighter able to blend fighting styles with relative ease, and known to be faster as well much more agile than most fishman on land and sea.
Can talk under water, can communicate slightly with sea animals (slightly means, knowing only a fair bit of a certain language and trying to speak to someone whose main language is that one. You will only understand certain bits of their speech, lacking many pieces to make up what they tried to tell you. In other words, vaguely recognizing their words), and can communicate fully with large sea monsters, can breathe under water.
When Shoumetsu use the Rokushiki techniques Soru, Tekkai, Rankyaku, or Kami-e he gains x50 to proper stat(s) only for single attack or time of use. When using Rokuogan however, his Strength increases by x100, but leaves him drained afterwards for duration. When he combines Tekkai with hardening haki his endurance increases by x100, but he is unable to move.
Zui Quan Intoxication: He is gifted with an immense level of alcohol tolerance, being capable of consuming huge amounts of alcohol, emptying entire bottles and many glasses, without losing consciousness, and even retaining certain lucidity. When consumed freshly, alcohol is shown to enhance his powers, allowing him to employ his signature Zui Quan martial art, and thus making him deadlier in combat. Shoumetsu physical attribute stats gain x100 boost for as long he remain drunk, but more he drinks less he is able to tell friend from foe as well his marksmanship losing x25 for each bottle or gulp he downs.
Life Return: Heavenly Breathing Formation - Enhances the strength of the user, therefore his strength will become twenty times that of an average human. The multiplier is cumulative, so Second Activation will make it four fold, Third Activation make it six fold and each additional multiply will continue to increase the strength exponentially. Shoumetsu max his strength can be multiplied is increased sixteen fold, and while being underwater further multiplied his strength by ten, this made him at least three hundred and twenty times stronger than the average human (he is much stronger than the average fishman).
Techniques:
*Geppo - The Geppo allows the users to actually jump off the air itself, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual. CP9 members can use this technique to cross great distances without ever touching the ground, or set themselves up for swift, aerial attacks. *Tekkai - The Tekkai hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, in order to nullify damage taken from attacks. When Tekkai is active, the user is unable to move, with the exception of Jabra's Tekkai Kenpo. Tekkai can also be used to enhance the users' attacks by the increased density one gets from using Tekkai, similar to Busoshoku Haki, although aside from Jabra, it requires the user to utilize Tekkai after they are mobile towards the opponent.
*Shigan - The Shigan is a close-quarter combat technique, in which the user pushes their finger into a certain target at a very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound.
*Rankyaku - The Rankyaku is a powerful projectile technique, in which the users start by kicking at very high speeds and strength, sending out a sharp compressed air blade that can slice objects and greatly damage a human body. However, it has been shown that almost any length of appendage (such as a tail or neck) at high velocities is also capable of this move. Because of Shoumetsu flowing fin from his forearms, he is capable of using it in fashion of cape with high speed swipe of his arm(s) to release out Rankyaku.
*Soru - The Soru allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power. It was revealed that the principle of this move was to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye. Moreover, Shoumetsu is unusually swift as he can move fast enough to create temporary afterimage duplicates to surprise unsuspecting foes.
*Kami-e - The Kami-e makes the users' body go limp in order to avoid any attacks, and float like a piece of paper. This can be used to dodge one-two physical attacks successfully, and up to three strikes within combo person equal or above. He is capable of using this in tandem with his Zui Quan, but he is unable to attack or do any offensive strikes while in defensive drunken stance.
*Rokuogan is the secret and ultimate technique of the six techniques "Rokushiki". The Rokuogan is the secret and ultimate attack of the Rokushiki style. It is stated that only those who have absolute mastery of the other six skills can have access to this seventh skill. The user places both his/her fists right in front of the target and launches a devastating shock wave in a forward direction. The burst is reminiscence to that released by an Impact or Reject Dial, capable of bypassing the defenses of a Devil Fruit user. The max Shoumetsu been able to do this is twice day, but if he has any severe wounds he is limited to one time.
*Zantetsu - The act of cutting steel, which certain particularly skilled swordsmen were said to have mastered.
Zankongouseki – The act of cutting diamond, which is very high level kenjutsu technique, only extremely skilled swordsmen are capable of accomplishing. In order to prevent damage to blade used for this, Busoshoku: Koka must be applied to weapon.
*Shirahadori - A defensive move in which the user grasps of catches an enemy's blade with his bare hands, Shirahadori is a difficult and acquired skill, but is also the only move shared between all five hundred schools of kenjutsu.
*Modoshigiri - The most skilled swordsmen using the best of blades were supposedly able to slice an object in two and rejoin the halves together, as if it were never cut at all. Shoumetsu demonstrates this when he cuts a daikon and then reforms it back together.
*Karakusagawara Seiken ("Arabesque Tile True Punch"): Shoumetsu punches at a fair distance from the intended target(s), so instead of the fist connecting, it uses the water vapor in the air to release a shock wave that sends them flying. This move is similar to Bartholomew Kuma's Pad Ho with the only difference being that the shock waves are not concentrated upon being released; but in exchange, it has a much wider area of effect. This move has a delayed effect, as the shock wave takes a while to affect the opponent(s) catching them off guard.
*Nanasenmaigawara Mawashigeri ("Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick"): Shoumetsu performs a roundhouse kick, which is strong enough to block gigantic Wotan's punch and break one of his fingers.
*Uchimizu ("Water Shot"): The basic version of Yabusame, in which Shoumetsu throws a single drop of water like a bullet. When used with Life Return to strengthen his power, the penetrative force of this attack is increased in an unbelievable way, to the point where it not only pierced through a person, but also through several structures and rock formations behind him, moving a long distance away from the location from which it was fired, and only then returning to its original state of drop and falling in the water. If enough water source is around instead of small water drop, Shoumetsu instead turns it into one large droplet, and then these large droplets of water can also be used by shaping them into serpent-like body resembling Chinese dragon, and thrown with power to easily punch hole through solid structure or even demolish large building, depending on its size.
*Yabusame ("Arrow Military Shark"): Shoumetsu first wets his arm or sword(s), then he uses his destructive strength to throw many drops of water, which are converted into deadly arrows through mere kinetic force.
*Umidaiko ("Ocean Drum"): Shoumetsu punches the water in front of him pushing it at his opponent and sending a shock wave through it. The shock wave hits the opponent dealing great damage and leaving a pressure mark on target body. This Fishman Jujutsu is only capable being used while under water, or opponent is submerged.
*Mizugokoro ("Water Heart"): The primary technique of this style that the user initiates by first performing a bowl-shaped gesture with his webbed hands (one hand over the other) while underwater right before giving the water itself around him a mighty yank. This allows the user to physically grab and redirect currents as if he were manipulating cloth. While on land if large enough body of water is around it can be formed around the user into Octopus Form of eight or so whip-like limbs which can be used to grasp or strike an opponent or to intercept incoming attacks. He can fire high pressure jets while in Octopus Form that can be used to force opponents back or even blast clean through a target if focused enough. Water jets are primarily used if the user has the intent of severely hurting their opponents.
*Kairyu Ipponzeoi ("Sea Current Lifter"): A technique used by Shoumetsu performed after Mizugokoro. He heaves the current upward, where it erupts from the ocean surface as a towering stream of water and pushing it further turning it into a high-pressure, rotating column of water. Capable of exerting a significant amount of pressure upon a solid surface, that allows the action of a drill.
*Mutoryu: Tatsu Maki ("Dragon Twister") - The motions of this technique is the same as Santoryu's Tatsu Maki, only this version is performed without swords, only with the arms. Shoumetsu's lack of swords means the technique has no cutting power, and is more used only to send the opponent flying. As with the sword version, the rotating motion of Shoumetsu spinning himself creates a spinning vortex, which sends the opponent several feet skyward. However, getting hit by one of his arms as he performs this move could also send the shockwaves into the unlucky victim's body, causing great blunt trauma and harm, as a sort of substitute in place of the cutting power of the original version. Like the Santoryu version, his aura appears to be a dragon beside him in this technique.
*Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri - A technique in which the user slashes an opponent at such a fast pace that it appears that they did not attack at all (in fact, to the casual observer it would look like the user simply walked past the victim). Only when a certain amount of time has passed, which is approximate to the time the user walks ten feet away, or three steps (verses, as the name suggests), does their opponent only realize the attack. It seems to employ elements of Iai (instant sword-draw-and-resheath) since it is generally initiated (though not always) with the user moving towards the intended target(s) with an unsheathed blade and walks past them before sheathing it back. It is usually at this point that the victims start manifesting and feeling the effects of this high-speed attack. The actual attack itself however, is never seen clearly due to the speed implemented. The technique is highly versatile, since with it, the user can slash multiple targets at once and if they so wish, the damage they inflict can be as fatal or as incapacitating as they like.
*Kokuto Issen ("Black Blade Single Flash"): Shoumetsu swings his blade Shusui to launch an invisible Flying Slash Attack, which is able to cut everything in his path, making a powerful long-range slice. With his Power of Destruction this attack is strong enough to cut ship clean in half, or slash capable of cutting apart large structures and the surrounding landscape like mountains or massive mass of ice around him.
*Kokuto Saku ("Black Blade First Day"): A counter technique. Shoumetsu awaits his opponent's next attack holding Shusui with two hands over his back. Once the enemy attacks, Shoumetsu counterattacks quickly with a powerful downward slash.
*Chi wo Hau Zangeki (Earth-Crawling Slash): Shoumetsu makes a downward swing to launch Flying Slash Attack green in coloration that travels at great speed through the ground. This attack is able to cut through steel with ease and rapidity. This is performed using Shusui to increase his destructive power and if used when haki armament is added onto the blade he can amplify power enough to cut harder substance or leave gashes in them.
*Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson ("One Sword Style Draw and Resheath Technique: Lion's Song"): Placing the sheathed sword upright and listening to the "breath" of his opponent, the attacker rapidly unsheathes, attacks, and re-sheathes their sword. An interesting note is that he does the technique back-handed as opposed to from the waist with a standard grip on the sword.
*Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri ("Charm Demon Sleepless Night Demon Slash"): A stronger variation of "Oni Giri" where the swords are twisted during the slash for added force, resulting in this attack striking multiple opponents instead of one. During its use, he generated a steam which made his swords look like they were bending. His aura appears as cloaked demon (with glowing red eyes in the anime) appears to be standing behind him when he uses this technique.
*Santoryu Ogi: Sanzen Sekai ("Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds"): Shoumetsu holds two of his swords at an angle against each other and rotates them rapidly while running towards his opponent to create momentum; he then slices up the foe with full speed and power. According to the name of this attack, this is the ultimate and strongest technique of the Santoryu. When used in the water Shoumetsu creates a strong water current trailing him, pulling any unlucky victims into his blades path or thrown about helplessly behind him.
*Tatsu Maki ("Dragon Twister"): He spins with his swords to create a dragon-like tornado that both slashes and blows away the target(s). This is one of his most powerful attacks on land and sea capable of creating powerful whirlpool. The aura of a Chinese dragon is seen accompanying him during the formation of this technique.
*Hyakuhachi Pound Ho ("Phoenix of the 108 Earthly Desires"): Same principle as the thirty six version of the same attack. Holding his two swords horizontally above the shoulder and the other in his mouth in the same direction, and then performs a circular swing that launches three air compressed projectiles spiraling towards the target instead of one or two, tripling the power of the technique, but with Shusui, the air compressed projectiles instead fuse and become a larger and more powerful, compressed air projectile. When used under water the projectile becomes highly concentrated compressed stream of water capable of cutting through steel and flesh all same.
*Karasuma Gari ("Demon Crow Hunt"): Shoumetsu performs a flying multiple slash technique. This attack is strong enough to cut steel, as it was first seen used to slice cannonballs. When applying haki to his swords while submerged under water he is able to slice up sea stone into pieces.
*Hyo Kin Dama ("Leopard Koto Ball"): He jumps forward while spinning in the air, forming a ball shape with his blades. This is basically a feinting maneuver, so even if the target manages to read the pattern of this attack and move out of his trajectory, they will still be cut as he careens past them. When using this technique, the aura of a leopard accompanies Shoumetsu.
*Santoryu Ogi: Rokudo no Tsuji ("Three Swords Style Secret Technique: Crossing of Six Paths"): An alternative secret technique he developed after two years of training. Shoumetsu manages to bend his body, and swing the swords in the form of an inverted "S" shape while performing a vertical spin, slashing the opponent six times simultaneously so fast that he did not seem to move at all. This technique's named after the Six Paths of Buddhism, that is said to be six states where a person is controlled by their desires and conquering them is able to transcend their animal nature.
*Kokujo: O Tatsumaki ("Kalasutra: Great Dragon Twister"): A much stronger and more effective version of "Tatsu Maki", where he performs the same action. He spins to create a dragon-like tornado that both slashes and blows away the targets, but the attack keeps going like an actual whirlwind and cuts up anyone who gets caught in it. While the old version only gave the victims small cuts and was able to break a Tekkai at its full potential, this new version seems to be able to cut through thick steel with ease. According to him, the whirlwind will not cease until its targets are sent to hell, a befitting description of the technique's name, as "Kokujo" is Japanese for Kalasutra, one of the eight levels of hot Naraka (hell) in Buddhism.
*Senhachiju Pound Ho ("1080 Pound Cannon"): A much stronger and powerful version of "108 Pound Ho", where he does the same exact movements as before, holding one of his swords horizontally above the shoulder of his sword arm, and then performs a circular swing that launches the air compressed projectile spiraling towards the target. This new stronger version possesses the ability to cut through a large stone wall or split mountain clean in half. The name implies it is ten times as strong as the previous version.
*Santoryu Ogi: Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai ("Three Swords Style Secret Technique: Great Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds"): An enhanced version of "Sanzen Sekai". He delivers massive slashes to his opponent one after another. This technique can be done airborne and is capable of cutting through a large amount of solid stone and sea stone with ease. He can enhance the power of this technique if he uses Haki on his swords to make them more durable and the attack even stronger. Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, often shortened to simply Three Thousand Worlds or Great Thousand Worlds, refers to Buddhist cosmology.
*Asura: Makyusen ("Asura: Demon Nine Flashes"): HE approaches his target and slashes them up using all nine swords and ends with a stance where all nine swords are in a wheel shape with his Kyutoryu a few meters away from the opponent, the wound is similar in shape to the sword stance, it is similar to Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri in that the actual effect is not seen until a few seconds later.
*Busoshoku: Koka (Color of Armaments: Hardening): This technique somehow uses Busoshoku Haki to harden the body (or parts of it) and objects which the user is holding. When a body, body part, or object is hardened, it becomes black and has the same or stronger effect than the invisible application of Color of Armaments. It is implied that Hardening is stronger than the invisible application as the characters who are able to use Hardening are not seen utilizing the invisible application. When both hardened fists clash, it releases a massive shock wave and black-lightning like effects.
*Life Return: Heavenly Breathing Formation - A martial arts breathing method that Shoumetsu invented by gathering up large amounts of oxygen to increase his lung capacity fourfold, he is granted strength similar to the consumption of Evil Steroid pills, even including temporary physical changes to the user. He has mastered this technique enough use First, Second Activation without risk; he can multiply his power after Third Activation. The technique, however, has its substantial flaws. If the user multiplies their base strength too much, the up rise of ki severely damage his body, leaving it thrashed, and could barely move without hurting himself why he placed limit of 15 minutes for it.
1. The first activation causes Shoumetsu's eyes to go completely white and he starts to give off a yellow aura. This is done by using his hair to hit certain pressure points on his body to increase his ki power using the oxygen to vitalize the body. If used while underwater it causes water to form a vortex around him before after few minutes closes back in.
2. The second activation causes his body mass to expand moderately, his muscles becoming distinctly more prominent. This is done by Shoumetsu removing the restraints of the brain on the muscles so 50% of the user's strength can be used increasing his muscle mass whereas normally, a person can only use 20% of their muscles' strength.
3. The third activation causes his skin to go red from increased blood flow, and further increasing Shoumetsu power with his aura becoming pulsing yellow glow from his body. Using the oxygen to forcibly increases his physical strength, speed, and temporarily re-energizes the body, allowing the use of taxing techniques like specialized Rokuogan.
4. The Fourth activation Shoumetsu multiplies his power in Third activation pushing himself beyond his limit at price of damage to his body going up to sixteen fold. Those who use this eightfold will secrete glowing blue-yellow sweat from every inch of their body which immediately evaporates from their own heat energy, creating an aura and may cause tissue tearing. When released sixteen fold will cause the user's blood to emanate a flaming aura of red steam from all pores of their body, hair, and eyebrows where if he is underwater it will literally start to boil around him.
Symptoms of pushing his bodily limits:
• Before 15 minutes: Normal, healthy state
• After 15 minutes: Normal, healthy state, however, reached limits of high body temperature
• After 20 minutes: Extreme, searing insatiable pain from within the body; muscle fibers are ripped to shreds, causing intense pain if anything or anyone touches them, nausea, delirium, psychotic episodes, heatstroke.
• After 22-25 minutes: Evaporation of bodily fluids, cognitive disequilibrium due to high body temperature user will black out no matter what at 25 minutes mark from dehydration. Body becomes completely thrashed and exhausted leaving user unable move at all, and any attempt to do so cause agonizing pain throughout their entire body.
Physical Description: As a human-fishman hybrid, Shoumetsu was born physically stronger than the average human, going by his ability to lift cannonballs at two years of age without problems and by his early teens he had toned muscular figure. His skin is pale with two red short eyebrows framed with green bangs. Born person of the sea, he has trademark bright turquoise eyes. Since his defection he used life return change pigment of his hair into silver-gray color, extremely long, reaching lower back, and it tapers off into many directions. His face tends to have an apathetic lazy look all the time except occasionally he smirks or grins. His daily attire since defecting consists of baggy, navy blue pants, a tied teal waist sash with seashell decorations at the end, and a dark blue open vest. He also has many accessories such as a double stranded necklace, an intricate gold arm cuff, two gold bangles on each wrist, and Black Den Den Mushi watch on his right wrist; he wears two of his sword strapped to his upper back, and Shusui tucked into his sash. Strangely Shoumetsu never is seen wearing any footwear except for wrapped socks with both of his feet having dial hidden in them. Because of when Shoumetsu served in Cipher Pol he kept his hair cut very short, and since leaving the marines he allowed it to grow out, while when traveling out in the open he tends to wear a mask to prevent any marines from recognizing him in wanted posters, keeping his true identity mystery except to trusted members of his crew. Stemming from his fishman heritage, he has azure colored flowing fins located on both forearms but more visible on him are noticeable blue-green shimmering scales on his upper arms and chest, also like other fishman he has three gills on his neck along with webbed fingers. This fin appears to be retractable as he is able to keep it hidden until he lets them out for his Fishman Karate attacks using them distract opponent or with armament haki. He also has retractable fangs that he can grow out by forcing his human teeth out of their gums, being able to choose between human teeth and sharp fighting fish fangs at his will. If he becomes bloodthirsty, his irises grow wide and red, similar to those of the fighting fish and the way Arlong's eyes change when angered.
Psychological Description: Shoumetsu usually maintains a laid back and observant personality, but often loses his temper in a goofy and exaggerated comical style. He is capable of strategizing very quickly and remains calm in a fight, enabling him to respond with maximum efficiency and with the smallest likelihood of misjudging circumstances. Even at a young age, his studies of history gave him remarkable foresight and deep fascination of collecting one of kind or rare items. He can also be extremely intimidating, easily frightening weaker opponents with just his glare. It has been stated that he has a monstrous killing intent, and stated that Shoumetsu is a born killer capable of showing no mercy during combat. He lives by his own code "Aku Soku Zan" (悪即斬, Swift Death to Evil), and follows a strict personal philosophy centered on that a battle should be measured by what was protected, rather than how much fame is gained. However due to his Siamese fighting fish bloodline he relishes the fights he takes place in and displays extreme blood-lust during battle. Likewise, he grows excited to meet any new people he deems worthy of fighting or anyone with potential to be a good fighter and entertain him in the future and will avoid killing them in order for them to grow to their full potential (so as to improve the pleasure of killing them later), or fight them for fun anytime they wish. When employing his assassination techniques, Shoumetsu enters a state of mind that helps him channel his strength and concentration for the sole purpose of slaying his opponent, increasing his combat strength. He compares the process to flipping a switch. Just like many others who bared the Will of D. Shoumetsu, seem to be able to withstand an incredible degree of punishment in battle and only surrender to death when they know it is truly unavoidable. In the same vein is an unusual behavior that seems to be common to "D.": they are often seen laughing or smiling right before they die (or think they're about to die), as though they have accepted their fate and hold no fear of death. Observers have expressed shock and confusion at this phenomenon, unable to believe that someone could so thoroughly come to terms with the end of their life. The marines who witnessed Shoumetsu thought he went mad before falling to his death because he was seen with wide grin and laughing as he fell to his death. According to scholars, Shoumetsu could interpret the Poneglyphs because he had the ability to "hear the voice of all things" which lead to greater interest in ancient secrets and also one of few known people in the world who possessed the ability to hear Sea Kings and Zunisha speaking.
History:
Shoumetsu story was not one full of joy and cheerfulness but one surrounded by the corruption of the world where the strong lived and the weak suffered. Rewinding back to pendulum of time the in order for one to make their way to the ending first they must retract their steps to the beginning. It all started when Shoumetsu reached the age of five already known as an outcast among the other villages surrounding them being result of outside breeding. Uro Yato was very caring man who raised Shoumetsu on his own, and when he was the age of five told him the truth of his father who was pirate killed at sea, and his mother who died minutes after giving birth to him with final request to Uro Yato. Not wanting her child live in fear of outsiders; and knew there was still danger in the world so begged Uro teach Shoumetsu, fishman martial arts at very young age and raise him not to hate humans. When Shoumetsu was 11 years old Celestial Dragons happened to discover their island and came in killing off his people while others were captured including Shoumetsu himself, which would develop into his sense of justice in the future. Uro Yato acted out in panic having his fatherly instincts kicking in and lashed out at the Celestial Dragon attempting to haul Shoumetsu away. At the price of successfully rescuing Shoumetsu, he was shot down, and left to die while dooming the rest of island with the fate of Buster Call. With this turn of events forced the other fishmen to turn their back on them striking deal with the government in order protect themselves, but those who sided with Shoumetsu would not go without fight preparing one final battle to avenge those who were killed. On the night that was soon to be forever known as the 'Blue Night' the fishmen rebellion fought back against the marines resulting in countless bloodshed and deaths on their side, and ultimately the annihilation of them with the island. Set to drift by Uro Yato before buster call caught Shoumetsu wanting him to live for those who couldn’t and with the final parting words "Bring on the hardship. It’s preferred in a path of carnage." Stranded in middle of sea Shoumetsu was forced to learn survive on his own, but through the pain and suffering he had to endure, he took it as good thing for it made his tolerance to pain stronger, and opened his eyes up to what he came to know as the truth of the world. Eventually Shoumetsu, had reached as far he could go on his own prepared to die drifting in the vast ocean when ship passing by discovered him heading to Karate Island and was rescued by sailors aboard keeping his fishman part hidden from everybody. Taken back to the island the villagers there became like family to Shoumetsu, taking care of him and even end up teaching him many fighting styles of Karate Island. It was there Shoumetsu became known as prodigy applying the teachings to his craftsmanship, and soon trained by master martial artist who ate Zoan Devil fruit: Rabbit Model. As years passed the two trained in the martial arts day on end up to the point he turned it into style of his own that complimented the tremendous power his fishman side possessed. One of the days during Shoumetsu training somebody from Cipher Pol was observing seeing him as talented fighter with great potential wished to have joined their ranks, and offered him life serving for the Cipher Pol which Shoumetsu accepted for his own personal reasons. Awhile after Shoumetsu had left to join Cipher Pol his natural born talents in combat due to his Siamese Fighting Fish lineage allowed him to quickly rise up the ranks at age 15, making it into CP9 and learning he possessed knowledge to read poneglyphs. By the time he reached 18 years old, Shoumetsu had worked his ass off proving himself to catch eye of higher ups and recruited into CP0; then at age of 20 he finally reached top of Cipher Pol becoming CP0 Leader. He served loyally to them carrying out his duties when asked for by Gov’t even when he found it morally wrong, but from being part of Cipher Pol he learned there was bit of corruption in government which marines turned blind eyes too. Wasn’t until his years serving for CP0 he learned how much this world was corrupted when he finally learned the truth about marines being lap dogs to Celestial Dragons and allowing them to do as they pleased to whomever, which caused him to eventually turn his back to government freeing as many slaves possible from Mariejois. However, before escaping with the others become pirate he committed worst cardinal sin once for all getting retribution for Uro Yato as well many others whom died by killing Celestial Dragon who was responsible. Unfortunately, things did not play out how Shoumetsu wanted being gravely wounded and cornered by thousands of marines, than in act of desperation he plunged off wall of Mariejois leaving world government to believe he died from fall; which through sheer willpower and miracle he survived but on brink of death. Sometime after he recovered from his injuries and before he joined up with Howling Banshee's, Shoumetsu used his information to find whereabouts of Underworld meeting to interfere in there, and killing one of the people in front of them becoming main person in charge of it. With resolve make world better place he allowed them continue running their things how they pleased and even helped progress things with his vast knowledge he gained from serving World Government as long they help him with his own personal goals which eventually led to beneficial mutual agreement with certain conditions on both sides must be followed, thus going by code name "Joy Boy" a prominent figure who existed during Void Century specially for fishmen.
Weapons and Armor:
Shusui is one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords and was once wielded by the legendary samurai Ryuma. It is considered the national treasure of the Wano Country. Shusui's blade is black with a distinct red hamon and its tsuba hand-guard has flower-like edges, hence it is a "Black Sword". Its red hamon (hardening line) is Kanemoto style, having the appearance of a saw or sharp teeth. It has no accessories on the hilt, being wrapped with black silk. Kashira, tsuba and kojiri end cap are golden, and the sheath is black, decorated with dark red circles split in even thirds. Shusui is designed to tremendously increase the damage potential and destructive power of the user. At one point, its commented that Shusui's greatest attribute is its durability, claiming that even if a dinosaur were to step on it, the blade would not bend a millimeter. He describes Shusui as having a "temper" that makes it harder to wield.
Juuchi Yosamu (十千夜寒, "10,000 Cold Nights") is very unique Meito sword, and known to be one of twenty-one O Wazamono swords. Unlike most katana Juuchi Yosamu is a full tang hilt blade with grooved memory grip without a tsuba, and material of blade is out of this world; literally being forged from meteorite crashed into ocean. Because of this the meteorite before cooling down melted other minerals into it, including that of sea stone. When the meteorite was smelted down and reformed into sword, additional sea stone was smelted into edge of blade in order to reinforce it, causing unique blue glow from meteorite resonating with wavelength of sea that sea stone gave off while rest of sword is midnight black in color.
Komainu Melody is Ryo Wazamono sword named after a Japanese myth: a lion like creature with attributes of a dog. It protected temples by warding off evil spirits. This katana gained its named due to swords intricate design having wind pores of various sizes along center of the blade, so when swung using the tachikaze, or "sword wind," all blades creates when moving through air to create whistling like shriek that causes target(s) on opposite end to become disoriented; making even dodging slash barely dangerous. Sheathe and hilt of the blade are pearl white in color with intricate patterns engraved on them. The hilt of Komainu Melody has violet-blue colored ribbon wrapped around it, single dark purple tassel hanging by short cord, and hilt pummel with shape reminisce too that of Komainu lion mane.
Belongings:
Shoumetsu is known to carry around a gourd, which he uses to store stronger version of Nihonshu and have it at his disposal to drink anytime. Such element is important in the execution of his signature martial art, Zui Quan. Allowing him to consume alcohol during battles and employ his abilities to the fullest. The object is closed by a thin cork bung, and possesses the hourglass-like shape typical to the plant, with the lower bulge being slightly larger than the upper one, and a thin rope being tied in the concave part between the two.
Bananawani (Banana Gators in the English versions) are giant crocodiles with banana-shaped growths on their heads. They are so fierce that they even prey on Sea Kings and are to date the Sea Kings only known natural predator, and they are classified as type "C" creatures being "Big Savage". Shoumetsu could control them as they are often seen swimming around with him and around his crew without any sort of aggressive attitude toward either of them. Shoumetsu has him well-trained as they would also follow his commands, and are always treated with affection making them very loyal to him; he is known to travel with fully grown Bananawani rivaling sea king, and powerful enough to pull Shoumetsu ship with ease. Because this Bananawani spent so much time around Shoumetsu and the ship he was exposed to IQ flowers causing him become much more intellectual and evolved earning him reign over other Bananawani. The two of them shares close bond with one another due fact when he was on verge of death after incident on Mariejois, he was responsible for saving him and named Sobek.
The Black Den Den Mushi, is a type of Den Den Mushi used commonly by Shoumetsu, as listening device or "wiretaps", to intercept calls between pirates and marines, or other miscreants. They are actually a different type of species compared to other types of Den Den Mushi. They do not grow as they age and remain a small portable size for the rest of their lives. They enjoy eavesdropping, and dislike communicating with others. Their abilities to intercept can be blocked by their counterpart, the White Den Den Mushi. Because of Shoumetsu controlling the Underworld he knows value of information and staying ahead of his opponent, using intell he gathers to help his clients and factions as well learn other valuable things benefit him on accomplishing his goal, and tends to spoil his Black Den Den Mushi treating him with care.
The White Den Den Mushi can be attached to other Den Den Mushi. They send out psychic waves that prevent calls from being intercepted; in a way, they are the opposite of the black Den Den Mushi. Anytime Shoumetsu is communication with Underworld factions or brokers he uses this and also for private information may being relayed to his Captain or other people of interest. Because of this the White Den Den Mushi is one of his most prized possessions along with his swords, so tends to treat with lots of care just like his Black Den Den Mushi.
He wears blue oni mask with silver beard that most people often always see Shoumetsu wearing in public, and even on his own ship depending on the people around him. The mask is made out of very durable memory alloy metal with cybernetic face mesh inside it. The cybernetic face mesh inside the mask allows the memory alloy to fit Shoumetsu facial feature comfortably and once worn it will be animated responding to any emotions expressed by him, allowing him to be able eat and drink in public without needing to worry about constantly moving it around to do stuff without revealing his true identity.
The Eisen Dial is extremely rare, and one of the most formidable dials used for combat. It emits a stream of "iron cloud" that can form into different shapes, like a cloud, but is as hard as iron. It can lengthen and/or widen without limits and can even form thick defensive walls but he tends use it more for transportation or encasing his foot in the iron cloud increase its power. Shoumetsu planning ahead of time before his attack on Mariejois used his connections with CP0 ten weeks in advance to obtain such valuable dial which he has located on his right foot hidden in his bandage socks.
The Thunder Dial is used for storing and releasing electricity. Hidden in left bandage socks he use Thunder Dial for adding extra damage to his kicks, or when used with his Fishman Karate and Jujutsu it can increase their power by giving them electrical charge. This can also be used defensively on opponents who try to electrocute or shock him instead absorbing that energy to protect him and either use back on them or for later.
The Water Dial is used for storing and releasing water, often kept attached to his sash opposite side of Shusui on his waist. He usually saves this for on land fights where water in air is very thin due to weather conditions or no nearby water sources are around to use his Fishman Jujutsu. It can store enough water to put out large fire.
The Vision Dial is used for capturing images and playing them back, comparable to a modern-day camera. It is useful for scouting and recording evidence. Shoumetsu lets a Camera Den Den Mushi live inside the Dial, this Den Den Mushi is able to take photos, creating flashes of light with its eyes in order to perform flash photography. The vision dial allows him store more recordings and images taken by Den Den Mushi, and instead of creating photos he can save them in devices, as well thanks to flashes made by Den Den Mushi he can even gather research in dark areas. He carries this with him where ever he goes, attached to the sash next to water dial where it is safer.
