Function

Aside from the embedded Dial, a Flash Gun behaves just like a normal derringer. When fired, the Flash Dial discharges a brilliant flash of light that blinds whoever is in front of the muzzle, letting Braham disorient an opponent at the moment he shoots. The design is finished in glossy black with an elaborate, decorative styling.

Braham carries two of these guns and uses the pair during the conflict on the upper sky, turning them against the priest Shura and later against Roronoa Zoro. The blinding effect makes them useful for catching enemies off guard rather than for raw firepower.
