Zero Hotaru/Abilities and Powers

Fighting style
Zero's hand to hand combat style is unique it's very dynamic and acrobatic letting him make full use of his abilities without sacrificing a shred of combat potentual. The style which he has dubbed Demon Slaying Fist invovles fast, nible yet very powerful blows with the fists, elbows, knees, feet, shins, palms, head, forearms and shoulders while he dances around with various displays of acrobatics and agility. When using his sword his fighting style is as dynamic and acrobatic as his unarmed style but mainly uses stabs, light slashes and parrys to set up his opponant for the final strike. He also fights left handed when using his sword but is able to fight with his both left and right hands.

Physical Attribute
Zero's pyhsical abilities are inhuman he has incredible strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, stamina even healing through either training or genetics no one really knows. Though he rarely uses these traits at full power he can still devastate stronger opponants by using them all at once while at half-strength. When using his full power his strength is enough to throw a Giant over his shoulder with little effort, his speed is so great he actually vanishes from sight, his agility is so great he can avoid most attacks with a degree of effort, his reflexes are so great he can deflect bullets with his guantlets, his durability is also great enough to take a bullet and hardly be effected by it even if it hits a leg and his stamina and healing are so great he can fight for days at a time and heal from fatal wounds short of decapitation.

Weapons
Zero's main weapon is The Kitetsu a elegant Saber with a domed hand guard similar to the standard saber hand guards without the bottom band linking the dome to the base of the grip and with a slight lip on the blade side of the sword, a straight single edged blade and a black katana grip. The black and white blade of this sword is incredably sharp even the slightest cut will bleed for hours, it is also a very strong blade seemingly unbreakable Zero can use it with his devastating strength without worrying to much about the blade. Also he has a odd thing with the scabbard he will normally take the scabbard off his belt and either stab it into the ground or toss it to someone or onto a chair or rock so it won't get damaged (he calls it his lucky scabbard).

Other weapons he uses are a set of push daggers he uses when his sword is not fit for the type of fight or he doesn't want to waste the sword's blade. He also uses a Trench Knife style blade made out of Sea Stone which he uses again Devil fRuit users that have Fruit enhanced durability..

Devil Fruit
Unknown but can manipulate things around him or himself allowing him to walk, run or skate on water, walls and ceilings as if they were solid ground. He can also unleash devastating bursts of concussive energy either through a punch, kick or slash of his sword or from a distance like invisible cannon ball. Due to his devil fruit powers being rooted in his mind he doesn't actually need to say the techniques outloud just think them then use them, this makes the identity of his Devil Fruit even more of a mystery.

Haki
Kenbunshoku Haki Seemingly unaware of this Haki Zero can use it when under great stress without his knowledge. this allows him to avoid every attack sent his way and counter instantly.

Busoshoku Haki Though rarely used Zero can use this Haki variation to great effect, the most famous enounter was when he deflected a explosive cannon ball back at the ship that fired it without even damaging his leg.
