Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Haki: There are normally two types of Haki standard 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. Z is not one of these people. 
*Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): A form of Haki that allows the user to create an "invisible armor" around themselves. With that, they can protect themselves from attacks, and if trained well, can be utilized to deliver stronger attacks. Besides the increase of strength, it is the only form of attack that doesn't involve Kairouseki that can hit any Devil Fruit user, being able to hit the user's original body even if it's a Logia user. It can also be applied on weapons.
Rokushiki: A special, superhuman martial arts style used primarily by members of Cipher Pol #9. It consists of six special techniques, Kami-e, Geppou, Rankyaku, Shigan, Soru, Tekkai. So far Zephyr has only displayed the use of Soru and Tekkai.
*Tekkai: Zephyr hardens his muscles to the level of iron, in order to nullify damage taken from attacks. However, it can be broken by strong enough forces.
*Soru: By kicking the ground at least 10 times in the blink of an eye, Zephyr propels himself across short distances at enhanced speeds.
Battle Smasher: The Battle Smasher is a gigantic mechanical arm with three-pronged fingers, big enough to hold a full-grown person, a Gatling gun design for the wrist and forearm on the outside portion, in which the inside is a giant cannon barrel, held together by large bolts at the wrist, which can generate and release powerful searing explosions. The arm is connected to Z's right arm from his elbow, and an additional artificial upper forearm connected to his shoulder, and held together by two mast rigging around his chest for further support. It can only be removed with a special key. Inside the gigantic hand, there is actually a relatively normal, mechanical prosthetic hand. The most unique aspect of this weapon is that it was embedded with Sea Stone Prism so Zephyr can effectively combat Devil Fruit users such as Logia-type users and negate their powers. 
*Smash Buster: Zephyr fires a big bullet at point blank range, which causes a huge explosion.
*Smash Blaster: A long-ranged version of Smash Buster.
*Smash Tornado: Zephyr shoots on the ground, causing a big explosion of dust which sends the opponent flying into the air. He then shoots a rapid sequence of bullets similar to a Gatling gun at the airborne opponent.
Note: Zephyr is a Canon Character but the One Piece Film: Z is Noncanon and as such feats like Luffy defeating him can happen.
