Silas Cocytus/Powers and Abilities



"An idiot who is blessed with unnatural luck and a talent for Savate, it's a wonder how he's managed to survive for so long. Is it thanks to his crew? The hand of Lady Luck? Or is it just because he hasn't eaten any devil fruits? Either way, the fact that he has saved many is a fact that cannot be disproved."

Abilities
Despite being the captain of the Trident Pirates, it is a commonly arguable topic as to whether or not Silas is indeed the strongest member of the crew. However, it is definite that he is within the crew's four primary members in terms of skill and ability. However, due to his unusually bizarre mix of fighting style, alongside his almost constant childish behaviour, people commonly mistake him to be an "extra crew member". In most situations, Silas will often fight the strongest enemy, the only exceptions being things such as when he obviously stands no chance or when another member of his crew would like to fight the strongest instead.

Silas' primary offensive tactic is the utilization of his spear that slightly resembles a trident, hence the poorly thought up name of The Trident Pirates. However, even without his primary weapon, Slias is still a formidable foe. His strength mainly comes from his original, yet now reserved fighting style of Savate, a martial arts that focuses mostly upon leg techniques. His lower body has been often contrasted against his upper strength, as seen when he easily kicked a large boulder to pieces with a single stomp and yet, he tried to punch a smaller one and ended up cracking his knuckles.

The unorthodox version of Savate that Silas often utilizes mostly involves sharp, accurate kicks to vital areas such as the temple or the neck to maximize both the damage and lethality of his attacks. His stance is quite often a handstand when performing his attacks, so as to provide Silas with an easier to reach range and an option to easily roll backwards in case he is countered. Despite the fact that the lethality lies in attacking with the front of his foot, Silas often instead attacks with his heel for a more burtal, curshing, yet non-lethal attacks. In a way, his use of Savate can be seen as a sword and hammer.

Silas' speed, reflexes and agility are also exquisite. He has shown that he was more than capable of keeping up with people on horseback, and in some instances capable of travelling to an island faster than a ship could, despite the large expansion of water. He has displayed that, even if it's only for a few seconds, can acutely run on the water's surface. By invoking all his strength into his calves, Silas' kicking power exceptionally rises, allowing him to temporarily cross the ocean.

Although it is not regularly used, Silas has a third aresenal that he can utilize to combat opponents: Haki. Although the only type that Silas can currently utilize is Kenbunshoku Haki, he is still a capable wielder. While utilizing his Haki, Silas can easily dodge bullets, as well as being able to counter against almost any attack. However, because the Haki does not make the user any faster, just their prediction, Silas can only react as fast as his body would move. As such, while he is almost impervious to most attacks, normally destructive things such as Sea Kings or Logia users are impossible for Silas to counter. Likewise, anything that moves faster than he can react is able to easily hit him.

However, to match his strength, Silas is also capable of withstanding large amounts of damage, often being able to go well past the limits of the average human. Examples being taking on several fragments of a cannon head on, being slashed by a swordsman, taking several bullets to his legs and still standing after his head was the target of a large warhammer.
