 (Entry-level) (protected the Execution Platform from Whitebeard's air
quake together with other Admirals), Ate the Hie Hie no Mi is

 durability (like he did with Jozu), **Island level** Environmental Destructive Capacity in the presence of a large area of
water (The potency of his freezing power, not strict destruction
ability; he froze two moving tsunamis, a huge stretch of ocean upon his
introduction and created a series of ice mountains on Punk Hazard as a
side-effect of his duel with Akainu).

their duel was settled

**Standard Equipment:** His Ao Chari, a bicycle he rides across the ocean (after freezing the water in the way)

**Intelligence:**
 Highly adept and battle-hardened combatant with decades of combat
experience, very accomplished in the use of his Devil Fruit ability,
should be an exceptional battle commander and possess admirably
strategic intelligence and tactical ability given he formerly held the
rank of Admiral

**Weaknesses:**
 Cannot swim and becomes immobilized if more than half of his body is
covered in water (though he can counteract this by simply freezing the
water and create a surface to stand on, saving him from sinking and
drowning.), he’s very lazy and rarely takes fights seriously.

**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.

* **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 himself
 from attacks, and if trained well, use it 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 imbue in weapons.
**-Hie Hie no Mi**
 (Chilly Chilly Fruit): A Logia type Devil Fruit which allows the user
to turn himself, as well as his surroundings, into ice. Most attacks are
 ineffective against the user because its user can simply shatter and
reform the ice composing them on impact. Most of this Devil Fruit's
attacks require Kuzan to contact his enemy directly to freeze them, yet
Kuzan found ways like creating ice spears or ice tentacles to extend his
 combat range.

* **Ice Age (Glacial Epoch):**

```
An attack used only near the ocean or another large area of water.

```

Kuzan places his hand in the water, then in an instant freezes it (along
 with anything in/on it) completely solid. The actual extent of the ice
can stretch for miles and last for over a week. The attack can still be
conducted as long as the ice he controls is in contact with both himself
 and the area he wishes to freeze. This process is nigh-instant, can

effect massive areas, and can take weeks to thaw.

* **Ice Time:**

```
Kuzan touches his opponent's body, then freezes them into a human ice

```

statue. They can remain alive in a form of suspended animation for some
time in their icy prison, but any decent hit will shatter them to
pieces. If the ice is melted quickly and carefully the victim can return

 back to normal without any lasting repercussions.

* **Ice Time Capsule:** Using his powers, Kuzan sends a wave of ice along the ground, anything it hits is frozen in place.
* **Ice Saber:**

```
Kuzan picks up several thin objects, such as blades of grass, and

```

throws them into the air. He then blows on them with an icy breath that
freezes them into a large, jagged sword of ice. He does not always need

to pick up objects to create the blade.

* **Ice Ball:** Kuzan freezes his opponent in a giant sphere of ice from a distance.
* **Ice Block: Partisan (Ice Mass: Both Thorn Pikes):**: Kuzan creates several spears of ice and then hurls them at the enemy. File:Aokiji partisan.gif
* **Ice Block: Pheasant Beak (Ice Mass: Violent Pheasant Beak):** Arguably the source of Kuzan’s nickname. Kuzan releases a massive wave of ice in the shape of a pheasant in a single blast.
