Range: Several Meters via sheer size, Tens of Meters with Wanyudo
Standard Equipment: A pair of knuckledusters and Wanyudo:
*Wanyudo: A polearm, at the end of which was a figure of a Wanyudo, a flaming wagon wheel-like demon with a man's face on the side which is actually a Pug SMILE user who runs on the inside of the wheel to generate flames. Robin noted that Black Maria could potentially burn down the entirety of Kaido's castle with Wanyudo. Even without the flames, the polearm can be swung with destructive power enough to smash through a wall.
Intelligence: Gifted. As one of the six strongest Shinuchi with a 480,000,000 Berries, Black Maria is very powerful and considered potentially able to challenge an All-Star, such as King, Queen or Jack, for their position. Black Maria has shown herself to be a crafty strategist, having collaborated with her subordinates to come up with an ingenious trap to subdue Sanji, one of the Straw Hat Pirates' strongest members, by taking advantage of his obsessive chivalry, having Sarahebi feign being sexually harassed while she used her spider web to trap Sanji. As part of her plan to lure and seize Robin into the Banquet Hall, she had several spider webs set up in the two corridors used to access the room, and a few subordinates armed with tranquilizer guns and placed into strategic positions to further ensure Robin's capture. This was, however, countered by Robin's own ability to bypass obstacles by blooming her own limbs through them and Brook's ice freezing Black Maria's webs solid.
Weaknesses: Her webs will become brittle and easily shattered if they are frozen, as well as the Standard Devil Fruit user weaknesses
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
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. It's currently unknown if Black Maria is one of these people.
*Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): Black Maria has displayed proficient levels in applying this type of Haki. She's capable of covering her knuckledusters with Busoshoku: Koka and should be capable of also applying it on her body to boost her durability.
*Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation): Black Maria is able to use this Haki, but her limits with it are currently unknown.
Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli: an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into a hybrid and full version of a Rosamygale grauvogeli, an ancient species of spider. The transformations increase Maria's physical capabilities, particularly her strength and durability. This fruit's "hybrid" form seems unusual compared to other Zoans, as instead of the user retaining a humanoid body with animal alterations over its entirety, their upper body remains fully human while their legs are replaced by a whole spider body, which possesses its own face that is remarkably human-like, complete with human eyes, a toothed, drooling mouth, and a tongue sticking out. It is unknown if this atypical, half-bodied transformation is the default Human-Beast Form of the Rosamygale grauvogeli Zoan or a special form that Black Maria chooses to take on. The most notable of the user's spider abilities is that they can extrude sticky spider silk from their body, which Black Maria calls "Hard Gum" (私の糸 Hādo Gamu, literally meaning "My Thread"); while real spiders produce webs from their abdomens, the user of this fruit is able to produce it from even their fingertips. The silk can be used to build webs and other structures meant for capturing/immobilizing targets, including sticky nets. The webs can even be made into an intricate array of traps so that no matter where an enemy steps, they will get captured. Additionally, using their spider legs, the user can walk on walls and upside-down across ceilings.
*Oiran Knuckle (花魁ナックル Oiran Nakkuru): Black Maria launches a barrage of punches while wearing her knuckledusters. This was first used to physically torture the captured Sanji to force him to shout for Nico Robin to come save his life. It was named when Black Maria used it against Robin's Gigante Fleur technique. In the Viz translation, this is called Oiran Knuckles.
*Furisode Wanyudo (振袖輪入道 Furisode Wanyūdō, literally meaning "Swinging Sleeves Wheel Monk"): Black Maria swings Wanyudo down in a crescent motion, destroying the floor in front of her. It was first used against Nico Robin and Brook, while pursuing them both down a hallway. In the VIZ manga, the technique is called Wanyudo Sleeve Swing.

*Marianette (マリアネット Marianetto): Using her fingers, Black Maria shoots several spider nets toward her enemy to latch onto and restrain them, particularly their limbs. Black Maria was first seen using this technique in her fight against Nico Robin to immobilize the latter's giant, multi-armed clone, catching each of the giant Robin's arms. The technique's name is a pun on "marionette", a type of puppet operated by strings tied to its limbs.
**Oshizumaria (お静マリア Oshizumaria, literally meaning "Calming Maria"): After having caught an enemy with her Marianette technique, Black Maria uses those same webs to pull the enemy's arms apart and render them completely defenseless against follow-up attacks. Black Maria was first seen using this technique to make Robin's giant clone vulnerable to a subsequent beating from her with her knuckledusters. The technique's name is a pun on oshizumari (お静まり), the polite, continuative verb form of shizumaru (meaning "to become quiet"), playing on Black Maria's name. In the VIZ manga, the technique is called Mariapprehend, a pun on "apprehend".
*Ikidomaria (行き止マリア Ikidomaria, literally meaning "Dead-End Maria"): Upon producing spider webs from her fingers, Black Maria forms a crisscrossed net formation in front of her, to block incoming attacks and, especially in an indoor passageway, prevent an opponent from coming near her. The technique was first seen being used by Black Maria to protect herself from several giant hands created by Robin. The technique's name is a pun on ikidomari (行き止まり), meaning "dead end", another play on Black Maria's name. In the VIZ manga, the technique is called Maricade, as a pun on "barricade".
*Atatamaria (マリア Atatamaria, literally meaning "Flaming Maria"): Black Maria has the human face on her lower spider half breathe out fire to set ablaze any of her prior-created webs, something possible due to the webs' flammability. First seen in Black Maria's fight against Robin, she used this to kindle her Ikidomaria nets, engulfing the battlefield in flames to prevent Robin from sprouting more of her limbs. The technique's name is a pun on atatamari (温まり), the continuative verb form of atatamaru (meaning "to warm up"), as another play on Black Maria's name; the kanji for "flaming" would normally be read as enjō (炎上). The VIZ manga calls the technique Mariarson, a pun on "arson".
