When it comes to his crew he is as mentioned before very loyal to them as they are all outcast like him and are like his family. He is particually close to his first mate Anna whom he loves with all his heart.

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 dubed 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 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, agiality, 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.

Weapons
Zero's main weapon is The Kitesu a elegant raiper with a domed hand guard (similar to the cutless hand guards without the bottom band linking the dome to the base of the grip) 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 smaller version of his sword without the dome guard.

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.

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.

Origin's
Zero was born in Foosha Village to a retired pirate and his barmaid wife, he enjoyed listening to his dad's tails of adventure and fighting and dreamed to become one when he was older. After his parents died he joined up with a powerful pirate crew The Silver Dragons and learnt alot from the Frist Mate an elderly pirate named Red Eye who taught him many fighting arts and a code of honor which the Silver Dragons stuck to till death. As he grew he showed himself to be a powerful pirate and became even more powerful when he ate an unknnown devil fruit that gave him a unique ability to move things with his mind and allow himself to walk (or sometimes skate) on water by creating a invisible barrier under his feet. After he gained this new powers and learnt as much as he could about it's limits and methods of use his crew was attacked and destroyed by Vice-Admiral Devil-Hand with him as the only surviver.

He eventually made his way to Logue Town where he used the money he salvaged from the wreckage of his old ship to buy himself a ship and began to find a crew worthy enough for him to captain eventually finding them after a lengthy bar brawl on his 14th week of searching. The crew consited of Anna who became the first mate, Benny the Navigator, Namihime the sniper, Cooks the chef, Stiches the doctor and comic relief, Robin the translator and archeologist, Idate the shipwright and Kojiro the helmsman. After gathering this crew he set out to find the Grand Line and bring honor and justice to the water of the world.
