Draco D. Damon/Abilities and Powers

Damon's bounty of 330,000,000 indicates that the Wold Government considers him a large threat to their operations and a prodigee in Piracy. Mengis says that the initial value has got nothing on Damon's strength at that point.

As one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Damon was of high rank in the Ashanian Army and thus, had command over most of its forces. He was also regarded as one of the top fighters the Kingdom could offer.

The Princess of the Enji Kingdom, Mariel, has commented that Damon is far stronger than the strongest knight of Ishitani Island, Arnold, and that they could use his strength to save the Kingdom. Although not much of a feat, it should be noted that this was a not-fully healed Damon. Even at such a state, Mariel states that Damon is far above the average monstrosities of the New World.

He has defeated entire squadrons of Marines, including Jenkins Paris', without sustaining any new injury himself, and once beat down an entire enemy army on his own. On his way out of the Kingdom of Asha, Damon managed to escape from every fighter present, including six of the the Deadly Sins.

His prowess also allows him to fight against and hold his own against other powerful combatants. Damon engages in a brutal fight against Mengis, and Carter Pine afterwards,, and then Swain Zander, all possessing admirable prowess within the Marines. Later on, Damon is also shown to be capable of more than matching Al Rauf Najeem, an officer of the Xros Pirates who is worth 320,000,000, and defeat him with Benjamin Tabart's aid.

Physical Prowess
Damon possesses immense raw strength, evident by his muscles and despite his small stature. Paris felt a sensation that if she attacked him, he would easily throw her across the entirety of Groot Island, which is quite a large island, and into the ocean. Even when not fully healed, he could shake an entire room with a mere flicker of his hand and clash against the physically capable Mengis. With a mere flicker of his finger, Damon can muster enough strength to easily and completely destroy the large window of the room he stayed in at Enji. In fact, a direct punch can easily cause stronger shockwaves, sending even rocks flying away.

A result of his harsh training, Damon is incredibly fast. Paris went as far as to wonder if he used Soru to approach her, as he closed the gap between them in an instant, provoking a gust of wind, and even robbed her of her Den Den Mushi. He is capable of casually keeping up with an immense volley of bullets coming from an entire squad of Marines, using simply his arms and hands, intercepting all of the bullets which were supposed to hit him. His speed allows him to keep up with a gatling's rapid-fire, and Mengis, a prominent fighter of the Mink Tribe, beings renowned for their movements. When in the offensive, Damon is even faster, punching the air several times in the span of a few seconds. Despite this, he is easily overwhelmed by Mengis' top speed and Pine's fruit powers.

As much as he can move fast, Damon can also react accordingly to speeds similar and close to his own. He is able to single-handely pint-point and catch every single bullet, using both hands' index and middle fingers, in a swarm of bullets headed for him, all of them fired by a Marine Army. Damon is capable of reacting to even faster bullets, including those of Veno's Battle Smasher, which shoots like a gatling. Not only his speed is shown to keep up with Mengis, but his reflexes as well, as Damon can clearly see and react to the Mink's movements, until he uses his full electro.

Damon is described as Mariel as someone supernatural, with her noting that even the monsters of the New World wouldn't have made it this far. Despite having not eaten food or drank anything for many days, on the top of being severelly wounded to the point his coughs drew blood, Damon kept himself conscious and roaming around the island. When fighting Mengis, Damon doesn't flinch or grunt from the Mink's attacks until the latter starts to use his "Electro" in conjoint with his moves. He can resist high temperatures, somewhat, as he is capable of withstanding the heat of his own attack without any apparent discomfort. Even after receiving the mightiest of all of Mengis' attacks, Damon is still capable of standing up, although with difficulty, and trying to continue fighting. Due to his anger reaching its peak, Damon can temporarily shrug off the sensation of pain.

His body is also very durable, capable of withstanding many blows in sucession. In his fight with Mengis, Damon had violent physical contact a number of times with the Mink and his attacks, and only started to receive damage when Mengis used his tribe's inherent skill. Veno's rapid-fire bullets only left a small graze in Damon's shoulder, although only one managed to nearly hit him. Despite flying through the base of the Enji Castle and being struck by Mengis' attack, Damon is shown to be alive, albeit, with many injuries. Although, Damon has suffered these countless injuries, his bones have never been shown to be broken.

Stated to be above the average person's, Damon's senses have also been trained. He could clearly see Veno's ship in the ocean, despite it standing a large distance from Groot Island, and even notice that it changed forms to dive, whereas Jenkins Paris couldn't. Furthermore, he can easily see in the dark, although not completely clear. Despite the sound being barely audible, Damon could hear lightning coming from Mengis even if he was buried in rubble. He could also hear the confront between a Fishman and the Marines at the coast of the island, while he stood inside the castle. His sense of smell is also pretty good, as he felt the scent of sweat in the Marines, even if they were distant.

Fighting Style
Described as a pure genius, Damon is extremely adept at fighting with his bare body, using a free-going style along with several Martial Arts application. In conjunction with the Devil Fruit powers of the Hana Hana no Mi, Damon is capable of further improving his fighting prowess by developing creative tactics and ways to employ his powers.

Despite his airheadedness at times, Damon is actually a very capable strategist. He knows how to employ his devil fruit, as stated above, in several miscellaneous ways. Damon thinks fast and can develop tactics admist combat, even if he himself is busy attacking or defending. Even after observing an opponent's power for a small timeframe, Damon develops ways to effectively counter it. His quick learning also applies to him recognizing his own faults.

Some of his techniques include:
 * Veal Roulade (調理螺旋 (ヴェールルーラーデ) Buēru Rūrāde (Chōrirasen) lit. Cooked Spiral): Damon summons six arms, one on top of another, from his rib cage, and envelops them along with his torso in armament haki. He rubs his palms over the whip made out of limbs and quickly produces friction, also applying techniques of the Rokushiki to aid him. Then, Damon quickly spins downwards similar to a wheel while encased on fire, ready to hit his enemy with a rotating, fiery punch. It has enough strength to break through Mengis' Tekkai and send him flying quite some distance through a building. A Veal Rouladen is a dish from Germany and takes the form of a cooked, spiral meat.
 * Brahmastra (ブラムアストラ Buramuasutora): A trademark technique of Damon, used by combining his Devil Fruit powers and his Haki. By making his Haki take the form of a punch, Damon punches the air with immense strength and blinding speed, sending forward a pink blast of energy which is strong enough to instantly pierce through stone and cross a large distance in a second. He can do it repeatedly, like a machine gun, by having one hand fire after another, taking small intervals. A Brahmastra is a supernatural weapon, an Astra, created by the deity Brahma in Hinduism.
 * Butterkuchen (乳酪ケーキ (バタークーヘン) Batākūhen (Nyūkēki) lit. Butter Cake): . It is first used to counter Swain Zander and Genjo Sanzo, and later to defeat Al Rauf Najeem.
 * Fischbrotchen (圧延魚 (フィッシュブロッケン) Fisshuburoken (Atsuensa) lit. Rolling Fish): . It is first used against Al Rauf Najeem.

Rokushiki
The Rokushiki (六式 Six Powers) is a branch of super-human martial arts, mainly practiced by the World Government and its associates, which consists of six special techniques that possess several applications, ranging from offensive to supplementary. Damon was been presented it by Bambina, and has shown to known a few of these skills and use their applications in combat. So far, he seems to focus on the techniques that deal with speed.

Geppo (月歩 Geppō lit. Moonwalk): A technique focused on mobility, which allows Damon to jump and walk on air itself, using it as platform by kicking it. Damon is capable of using it to cross large distances and stay in mid-air for quite some time. He can also guide himself through orientation in mid-air, and redirect the trajectory of his movements and attacks, shown in his battle against Mengis.

He can use Geppo as a form of attacking an opponent, kicking the air before them or their very own bodies, and allowing for offense and movement. Damon has shown quite some versatility at employing Geppo in many different situations. Furthermore, even his limbs can use it just as effectively, with the technique's power augmented if used by several at once.

Soru (剃 Shave): A technique which focuses on speed, as it requires immense leg strength for its user to kick the ground several times in a single instant, moving at absurd speeds. Damon uses it to move across the battlefield and enhance the attributes of his attacks, applying it for other body movements such as spinning, in order to produce friction.

Great Demon Fist
Great Demon Fist (大魔拳 Daimaken) is a very rare fight style which is Damon's true fighting style. As pointed out by Freya, Damon uses the secret style regarded as the Great Demon Fist because it was taught to him by none other than Bambina himself, although, this is unknown to anyone else. This style seemingly focuses with both ferocity and mind stability.

Devil Fruit
Damon ate the Hana Hana no Mi which is a Paramecia type of Devil Fruit, unknowingly given to him by his childhood friend when he was six years old. It grants him the power to replicate and sprout any body part of his into any surface or even on his body, making him a "Blooming Human". Said additional limbs act like extensions of his own body, as Damon can be hurt should one of those limbs get wounded, the same being applied to Devil Fruit effects. Usually, in order to strengthen his concentration, Damon strikes a pose by crossing his arms in the form of an "X", though, he isn't required to do it to summon his powers. If his focus is abruptly lost, all of the limbs will vanish as they came. Additionally, limbs which sprout close to, or even on Damon's own body, are naturally stronger, easier to control, and more resilient.

He can be rather creative when using his power.

Damon can use his powers for a variety of purposes, including support and supplementary ones. In order to make sure the Marines didn't take any optional paths, he summoned many eyes and ears throughout Bole Town, allowing for some espionage. He can move objects or people by sprouting limbs in or near them, shown as he made several hands to catch the fruits inside Milton's house. Furthermore, he can cover parts of his skin by sprouting skin directly over it.

To name his techniques, Damon uses this mixture: Spanish for limb number, German to represent flowers, and English for any specific action following the main technique. First seen with "Seis Blumes", whereas "Seis" is Spanish for "Six", and "Blumes" is German for "Flowers".

His most common techniques are "Cuatro Blumes: Asura", which is his trademark one, and "Un Blume: Brahmastra".

Haki
Damon can use Haki (覇気 Ambition), a mysterious power that dwells supposedly in every living being. Haki is said to originate from one's mind and will. One is capable of awakening it through training or even in a situation of extreme shock, though, there have been stances where people unconsciously used it. It is divided into three basic types that are dubbed as Colors (色 Shoku), two of which are obtainable through training.

Having been born and living in the New World, Damon naturally knows about Haki and has been trained in it since his teen years. Although after one day he felt some of it, he had to wait an entire week of resting to recover all of his Haki. When using his Haki, a pink, transparent Halo may form behind him, similar to the other Sins. Damon is shown to know and use three forms of Haki.

Kenbunshoku
He uses Kenbunshoku Haki, a haki that enables him to sense other people's presences around himself without having to actually see them. When activated, Damon's black irises turn crimson with an odd design in them. Kenbunshoku is Damon's specialty in concern to Haki. He can feel the aura of other people, as everyone inherently has Haki, and use it to distinguish their intentions and thoughts to see if they are lying or what are their objectives, seen when he felt the Den Den Mushi within Paris' clothes and determined she would try and lie to him. He uses this during battle in order to predict his opponent's tactics and movements, doing so to keep up with Mengis' speed, managing to even later when the latter was encased in Electro, showcasing how great his senses are. Although, his body couldn't fully keep up.

Damon is also capable of determining a person's willpower and strength, shown when he noticed how much stronger Mengis was in comparison to the rest of the Marine Squad. He possesses quite some accuracy with this, capable of picking up even small differences in aura. He can sense auras from a fairly large distance, being capable of locating people who are deep submerged or at another island altogether.

Notably, Damon has also shown to perceive even the faintest of auras, as he could pint-point the presence of Trickshot, Scratch, and Warren D. Ralph.

Busoshoku
He also employs Busoshoku Haki with profficency, capable of creating an invisible force around his body, which is represented by a black pigment in his skin to those who can see it. It enables him to bypass the defenses of a Devil Fruit user and augment his abilities. Damon has enough willpower to clash against and defend Mengis' attacks. With enough force, he is capable of producing so much friction that his armament body itself gets set on fire. He is shown to use Koka (硬化 Kōka lit. Hardening) technique to further harden his body. His Busou generally has a pink hue and aura to it, being intense enough to shake his surrounds. He can use this Haki efficently even when exausted, or after getting closer and closer to overusing it.

Haoshoku
Damon has recently discovered that he also possesses Haoshoku Haki, a type of Haki wielded by one in a million people. He first uses it when giving a speech to Mengis and his Marine Squad as they invade Enji. The following burst of Haki is capable enough to make all of the present Marines, with the exception of the Mink, faint.

Culinary Abilities
Damon has an unknown degree of cooking skills, possessing quite some knowledge on how to mix and use certain types of ingredients.

Miscellaneous Skills
Damon has shown quite some capability at catching fish, doing so to survive at Groot Island.

In order to leave Groot Island, Damon has to use a Marine ship, stating that he can handle it with the help of his powers, indicating quite some level of helmsmanship.
