Haki: There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. Zoro is one of these people.
* Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): Ryuma has displayed advanced applications of Armament Haki. Capable of utilizing Goken which allows his sword to cut through the thickest steel when he wishes and at the same time for it not the cut the thinnest of paper as well as creating Black-Blade's that cannot be damaged, granting any sword unparalleled hardness and had the aptitude to permanently alter them to this state.

*Fencing Style: Brook's unnamed form of swordsmanship that resembles classical fencing. Though it utilizes cutting techniques as well, it specializes in fast thrusts. This sword discipline is also used by Ryuma (due to Brook's shadow that was in him), who are able to use the techniques at a level far superior to Brook's (at least pre timeskip).
*Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri (Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slash): A high-speed technique where Ryuma swiftly cuts his opponent(s) as he approaches them and then re-sheats his blade.
**Requiem la Banderole: Performed much the same as Yahazu Giri, except Ryuma executes a lateral slash against the opponent's chest.
*Aubade Coup Droit (Dawn Serenade: Right-Handed Strike): A ranged thrusting technique that creates a highly compressed blast of air.
*Prelude: Au Fer (Prelude: After): A technique intended to disarm the opponent by destroying whatever weapon they might be wielding at close range.
*Gavotte Bond en Avant (Gavotte: Leap Forward): A thrusting technique in which the user propels himself forward in order to strike an opponent.
**Swallow Bond en Avant (Swallow Leap Forward): An aerial version of Gavotte Bond en Avant.
*Polka Remise (Polka Continuation): A combination technique in which the user delivers several consecutive thrusts against the opponent.

Note: Little is known about the real Ryuma, as he has so far only appeared in Oda's one-shot, Monsters (which is canon to One Piece), and as he lived in a timeline well before the current story, his fighting strength is tricky to determine even though he was the strongest man in his time.
