Yama T. Shumo/Abilities and Powers

Strength
Yama's body has exceptional strength, even though he is very old, he's capable of preforming titanic feats of physical power, capable of utilizing it within sheer instinct or small supposedly inconsequential gestures towards his targets. Though he's yet to utilize any of these feats within a span of over a few years, Yama is eager to demonstrate against his enemies.

Speed
Perhaps one of his most fearful traits, Yama is capable of moving at high speeds, creating fast-movement techniques and utilizing his battle experience, capable of even appearing as if he disappeared and coming from another direction. He also uses his hammer with his speed giving several strikes with to his opponents, one after another.

Hand-to-Hand
Even though he relies very heavily on his hammer for battle, Yama has shown to be able to use physically combat skills to the point of a master. Yama was able to survive taking on Whitebeard with his skills at the age he was, but with the battle experience he gains he seems to get a little better every time he fights another.

Swordsmanship
During his days as the captain of the Yama pirates, he had used a giant saw blade like sword. He seemed to have been one of the best swordsman of the north blue and east blue, Yama had commented that he enjoyed swordsmanship and whenever his sword was destroyed by Whitebeard. He seemed to have stopped training with a sword and he commented like that Whitebeard had killed a part of him, so his full skills haven't and might not ever be seen again.

Intelligences
Throughout all of the years he had been fighting and as a pirate, Yama had picked up on a thing or two. He is a very intelligent man, with a military mind to match his raw strength. Yama is able to outsmart most opponents he has, by playing the old man card against them and whenever they fall for the poly he unleashes his true strength against them.

Weapons
Originally Yama had used a giant saw blade like weapon for battle and after it was destroyed Whitebeard. Yama now uses a giant hammer, he seems to use it very good. He was able to swing it swiftly and of course causing some massive damage to items and such.
