## Abilities and Powers

Cabaji has significant physical strength, shown when he was able to lift Richie with one arm and send Mohji flying with a single kick. In combat, he fights with a combination of swordplay and acrobatics (mostly on a unicycle) to fight his enemies, (he has also shown skills with sword swallowing) that he calls **Carnival Tricks** (曲技 *Kyokugi***?**, Acrobat Techniques in the Funimation dub). Most of his attacks have names based on circus acts. He is not afraid to play dirty and take advantage of weakened foes and will strike a wounded man when he is already hurt without a second thought. He attacks Zoro in this very manner.

### Various Tricks

* **Kyokugi! Kaji Oyaji** (曲技! 火事おやじ *Kyokugi! Kaji Oyaji***?**, literally meaning "Acrobatics! Old Man's Flame"): Cabaji breathes fire. This was first used against Roronoa Zoro when they fought. This attack is called **The Breath of Death** in the Viz Manga, **Blazing Breath** in the 4Kids dub, and **Arsonist Technique** in the FUNimation dub.
* **Kyokugi! Yukemuri Satsujin Jiken** (曲技! 湯けむり殺人事件 *Kyokugi! Yukemuri Satsujin Jiken***?**, literally meaning "Acrobatics! Murder Case in the Hot Spring's Steam"): By spinning his sword around quickly, a cloud of dust is formed. Cabaji then pulls a "sneak attack" on the opponent. This is called **Murder at the Steambath** in the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub and **Extreme Wrath at the Steambath** in the 4Kids dub.

* **Kyokugi! Yama Noboro** (曲技! 山登ろー *Kyokugi! Yama Noborō***?**, literally meaning "Acrobatics! Climbing the Mountain"): Cabaji rides straight up a wall. This is called **A Hike in the Mountains** in the English versions. Usually combined with **Acrobatics! Murder Case in the Hot Spring's Steam**.

* **Kyokugi! Kamikaze Hyakkoma Gekijo** (曲技! カミカゼ百コマ劇場 *Kyokugi! Kamikaze Hyakkoma Gekijō***?**, literally meaning "Acrobatics! Theater of One Hundred Kamikaze Tops"): Cabaji releases hundreds of tops at his opponent, used as a distraction and later they have explosives put in them. This is called **Dance of 100 Kamikaze Tops** in the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub and **Dance of 100 Tumultous Tops** in the 4Kids dub.
* **Kyokugi! Noryo Uchiage Hanabi** (曲技! 納涼打ち上げ花火 *Kyokugi! Nōryō Uchiage Hanabi***?**, literally meaning "Acrobatics! Cool Evening Firework Launch"): After performing **Acrobatics! Let's Climb a Mountain**, Cabaji leaps off of the top of the wall, high into the air. In the English versions, this is called **Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze**. Usually followed by **Wheel Stab**.

* **Ichirin Zashi** (一輪刺し *Ichirin Zashi***?**, literally meaning "Wheel Stab"): Cabaji rapidly descends down from the air with his sword positioned to stab his opponent. Usually Buggy uses his **Bara Bara Hou** to keep targets still while Cabaji is coming down. In the English versions, this attack is called **Sting of the Unicycle**. Used after **Circus Trick: Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze**.

### Weapons

Along with his acrobatic skills, which he uses to glide to enormous heights on his unicycle, he has displayed a fondness for using both daggers and a sword during his fights, not unlike his captain. He also uses razor-sharp spinning tops and has a flame breath. He can also swallow swords with ease, as witnessed when he pulls out a sword from his mouth when the town mayor comes to challenge Buggy. Also, if necessary, in Chibi Buggy Pirate Adventure, he has shown to be fairly skilled in hand to hand combat after his sword was broken.
