Zyne Family

The Zyne Family (罪業 家族, Tsumi Kazuko) is a family of skilled snipers who, although not very well known, produce some of the finest long-range fighters in the world. The secret behind this success is their skill with Haki, particulary Kenbunshoku Haki, which they call Mantra (心綱（マントラ） Mantora, literally meaning "Mind Rope"). It is unknown why they call it by this name, though it is theorised that the family originated on Skypeia. They are also skilled in Busoshoku Haki and possess a variant of it which allows them to create bullet-like projectiles which they can either fire directly from their body or load into their weapons, usually a pistol, if they run out of ammunition. Sometimes they use these bullets even when they do have ammunition, as the bullets have been shown to have power similar to the Kuja's arrows, and are thus capable of piercing nearly any defence. Their fearsome long-range abilities also make them fearsome assassins and stealth fighters, though they are mostly found as sharpshooters in various pirate crews on the Grand Line.
