Black Leg Style

Hookhand Performing an attack

The Black Leg Style was popularized by **Hookhand** based on **Benny'**s unique fighting style with a complete emphasis on kicks, repurposing the use of hands into acrobatics such as handstands to augment the force and range of kicks and to prevent the hands from being damaged during a battle, something that is disastrous to an engineer like Hookhand. Thus, it boasts a wide and impressive array of kicking techniques coupled with superior acrobatic skills, making it an extremely versatile martial art, able to effectively weave continuous and powerful attacks upon adversaries and overpowered numerous enemies at once with incredible efficiency.

## Techniques

Hookhand has rigorously trained in this martial art, becoming the master of the Black Leg. After joining the **HOBOS** as their fighter and gaining greater fighting experience from constantly battling powerful enemies such as infamous Pirates and **Erasers**, Hookhand has surpassed his mentor, developing more powerful variations of **Benny**'s techniques and inventing his own unique kicking techniques most prominently his signature **Diable Jambe** technique. Hookhand can combine the power of his kicks with his other **HOBO**'s respective strengths for devastating team combinations. Most of Hookhand's attack names are French words referring to various dishes, though he has recently employed the use of English words when naming his techniques.

### Before The Timeskip

* **Collier:** A kick to the neck which Hookhand does whilst still on the ground. This was first seen as a named attack in a series of attacks against a One Eyed Menace. *Collier* is the French term for neck meat.
* **Collier Shoot** : Collier enhanced version. Hookhand jumps high into the air and lands a powerful kick to the opponent's neck. This was first seen as a named attack against The All Powerful. During the HOBO's great Defense of Question Mark Island, Hookhand also performed this move to block and deflect the cannonballs fired by the All Powerful warships at the Question Mark Island
* **Anti-Manner Kick Course** (キックコース *Anchimanā Kikku Kōsu***?**): One of Hookand's strongest single kick attacks, he delivers a massive vertical kick by lifting one of his legs a full 180 degrees in the air. This attack is usually aimed at the very center of the opponent's torso (front or back) and is almost always enough to defeat any opponent with one shot. For much taller and gigantic targets, Hookhand usually jumps to the desired height to execute the move. Once he has used this horizontally on The All Powerful's torso in order to unbalance the giant. This attack was able to bypass One Eyed Menace's Mechas (where most nothing else has) dealing severe damage to the clones.
* .**Extra Hachis** ( *Ekusutora Asshi***?**, literally meaning "Highest-Rate Mincemeat"): A barrage of hard kicks launched at multiple directions, in the same manner as Luffy's **Gomu Gomu no Gatling**, only that given Hookhand's lack of elasticity, this move must be performed at close range. However, due to the monstrous force that Hookhand can deliver while administering his kicks, this is considered as the "grandest" of Hookhand's kicking series. This was first seen being used against clones in the **Death-Pit**.
