Liger Claws

The Liger Claws (ライガー爪 Raigā Tsume) are a pair of metal clawed gauntlets used by pirate captain, Pyrite Liger. They appear to be the main weapon of choice for Liger, as he's been shown to use them often, and is quite skilled in their usage in battle.

Abilities and Powers
Liger's claws are rather effective in battle, since despite the short range of the blades, the metal they're crafted from can be used to cleave through solid stone if necessary. A heavy swing from one of his arms is fully capable of leaving behind multiple, debilitating gashes; and thanks to their compact shape, Liger can swing his claws with blinding speed.

In addition to their decent quality, Liger has shown that by scraping the blades against one another, he can create enough sparks to set the claws ablaze. With this added feature, Liger can burn and slice opponents simultaneously; creating more damage in the process. He can also ignite compressed blades of air created from the blades, thus making flying, burning slashes for long ranged attacks.
