Details of his fighting prowess are thin, yet the trust placed in him to guard Wano's most renowned oiran speaks to his capability. He handles a naginata with real skill, which he demonstrated against the trio of Bingo, Bungo, and Bongo. Spotting the three closing in on the oiran's procession, he wielded the polearm to wound them, then cautioned the fallen men to keep their distance.
