## Overview

Vhagar has devoted the first half of his life to becoming a better, stronger swordsman. This is notably due to the fact he was trained in the arts of swordsmanship as a child by his family. This feeling was only accelerated after his families alleged deaths, and he has since acquired and continues to acquire outstanding abilities and accomplishments in battle. His skills drastically improved after becoming the swordsman and firstmate of the Olympian Dreamer Pirates. Alongside Athermos and Hestuser, Vhagar is part of the Primordial Trio due to his strength and skills.

While Athermos often fights the strongest enemies, Hestuser and himself often end up fighting against enemies considered the second or third primary threat. On occasion, the trio do swap opponents for the strongest/second/third strongest, to keep the fact that they are incredibly close in power to one another. Across their travels, Vhagar has come to possess some of the most legendary swords, with him acquiring Gold Roger's sword most recently. He has used these weapons to both improve his skills and develop devastating attacks.

Vhagar also provides a tremendous service to his crew members being the First Mate, as he takes charge and command whenever Athermos falls flat. This allows him to actively be a Co-Captain, and he has the strength to support this. In regards to his strength, Vhagar constantly keeps the second highest bounty.

## Devil Fruit

*Main Article: Mizu Mizu no Mi*

As a 6 year old, Vhagar found a Devil Fruit on Dusk Island that went back into circulation following the death of his mother. With Umi Umi Suima moving it to him and telling him to eat it if he wanted to live, Vhagar did so and immediately inherited his mothers powers. His Devil Fruit gave him the power to create, control, and transform into the element of water. Vhagar's ability to create, control, and transform into the element of water seem to currently be limited to the water he produces.

Over the next several years, Vhagar honed the abilities. After leaving Dusk Island, Vhagar has showcased several abilities and has only gotten better with his Devil Fruit. A lot of Vhagar's techniques serve as support to his main style of fighting. Each technique Vhagar has involving his Devil Fruit seems to produce significant effects, with one in particular able to drain and make a person weaker. Vhagar is also able to use his Devil Fruit powers to infuse his weapons, currently only seen with Ace, allowing him to drastically boost his swordsmanship.

Because Vhagar is made of water, he is especially susceptible to lightning, and is naturally weak against the Goro Goro no Mi user. However, Vhagar is also a potential counter to every Devil Fruit user because he could potentially disable their powers. Though this has only been proven in very specific situations and it is currently not known if it will affect every Devil Fruit user. His skill similarly extends to the point that with a single attack, he was able to effortlessly topple a Sea King.

## Physical Abilities / Doriki Breakdown

❝ *To think I'm fighting a survivor who put up a fight against the strongest swordsman...that probably means your powers are hundreds of times greater than when we last fought!* ❞ *— Golatzar's response to Vhagar stating Snow Flower shattered when he fought Mihawk.*

Vhagar has extraordinary superhuman strength, resiliency, speed, perception, and agility due to years of training with the Vermithor Dojo, specifically his family. All of this combined enables him to use an array of different positions for his swordsmanship, along with allowing him the physical strength to fight through the odds. This has allowed Vhagar to become a monster physically, with or without weapons. Vhagar's strength plays a large role in his swordsmanship abilities, as he is able to wield increasingly heavier swords. Similarly, his strength lets him possess a great amount of power and range for his cutting abilities. Thanks to his strength, Vhagar is able to clash with increasingly powerful opponents, and can easily grab and lift normal-sized people.

### Strength

Vhagar possesses incredible physical strength. Even as a child, Vhagar had enough strength to consistently fight against and defeat several adults at the same time. He was even able to perform this feat when outnumbered and being ganged up against, showcasing that he was quite capable even without a weapon. When concentrating his strikes, Vhagar was able to completely kill these adults, proving that his physical strength overwhelmed even taller, seemingly more kept and fit opponents. Though it should be noted they were not physically real as this was a trial to acquire Snow Flower, and as such they simply faded out of existence upon being defeated. Similarly, it was this very strength that would allow him to go on and claim Snow Flower.

During the Clockship Island Arc, Vhagar was able to cleanly cut through a Seastone Rope with minimal effort. Then again, during his initial clash with Golatzar, Vhagar was able to consistently force the pirate to either block or dodge his attacks, indicating a high level of strength. Similarly, Vhagar was also able to block the Pirate's attempts at attacking, until he was quickly outmatched. Though, after only four days of training and during his rematch with Golatzar, Vhagar proved to quickly be much stronger. Through a single slash, Vhagar was able to completely knock and fatally wound Golatzar, causing him to quickly take the fight as the victor.

During the Maple Island Arc, Vhagar was able to quickly clash with Lynx, a Busoshoku Haki user, seemingly with relative ease. Likewise, Vhagar's strength was enough that had it not been for the Thunder Breeze Rayne used, Vhagar would have killed Lynx. Now weakened, Vhagar was still able to put up a fight against Lynx's attack. He showcased the ability to block, though barely, a Busoshoku Haki infused slash. After a brief discussion and Vhagar's strength now returning, he was granted the power boost of Snow Flower and began matching Lynx's attacks blow for blow. Able to block Lynx's Spin Crossbone Slash attack, Vhagar, with Snow Flower's guidance, was able to perform his **Yuki-Modoru** attack, critically wounding the swordsman. Then, before Vhagar could go to finish Lynx off, another Thunder Breeze by Rayne weakened him once more. Though on the backend, after recuperating enough strength for a final attack, Vhagar was able to defeat Lynx and knock him out with a single strike to the head with Snow Flower's pommel.

During the Shokupan Island Arc Vhagar clashed with Mihawk and despite all of his advances, was unable to push back the Worlds Strongest Swordsman. When using the amplification from Snow Flower, Vhagar finally received recognition from Mihawk and acknowledgement of his strength. Mihawk stated that Vhagar had the physical power to take out an entire city, with the attack being blocked and releasing a massive shockwave. After Vhagar was possessed by Snow Flower, Mihawk was pushed back only for him to lightly push on Snow Flower and send Vhagar hundreds of feet away. Then when they did a final clash, Vhagar's sword, Snow Flower, was destroyed.

During the North Blue War Arc, Vhagar was swordless for the majority and showcased little in the way of strength until he got his hands on Ace. After doing so, Vhagar was able to block a Haki infused wave of wind from Lynx. With a counterstrike and hitting Lynx with the pommel, Lynx was sent away and Vhagar bypassed Lynx's Haki coating. Vhagar was also able to cleanly cut through Golatzar's needles of electricity, then slashing through the Haki infused wind slashes from Lynx. After agreeing to team against the duo and temporarily ally with Arawn, Vhagar hit Golatzar and completely slammed him through the ground and knocked him unconscious.

During the Polarhaven Arc, a single slash to Arawn's side had sent her flying off the ship and into the water. When Vhagar went for another attack against Arawn and Bendis, even after Butley made a smoke-barrier around the duo infused with Haki. The attack itself was strong enough to send the duo into the ground, unconscious. Then again when Vhagar slashed Bendis, he was able to cut him in half despite the latter using Haki to reinforce his body.

During the Shadows of the North Blue Roleplay Movie, Vhagar's physical strength once more continued to grow and rival even the other two who made up the Primordial Trio. Vhagar proved able to take on Whisper, a Lunarian with both his flames on and off with little struggle while wielding both a repaired Snow Flower and Ace. At the start of their battle Vhagar was unable to damage Whisper when the flames were on his back, all the while Marik wasn't using Haki, showing he had the superior durability compared to Vhagar's attack potency. Over the course of their battle, Vhagar was able to slowly overpower Whisper to the point where he could no longer naturally rely on his defenses. Whisper was forced to use Haki for defending. When the duo clashed blades, Vhagar was able to hold off or overpower the swordsman.

As Vhagar developed his two sword style and attacked Whisper, Vhagar began to make Whisper bleed and send him back. When Whisper's flames on his back were off, Vhagar was able to make the swordsman bleed with greater ease. After beginning to overpower Whisper, Vhagar was able to completely stall and harm Whisper when he coated his entire body with flames. Once Vhagar started struggling, he switched to using just Snow Flower and allowed it to possess him. In doing so, Vhagar was able to quickly outperform and overpower Whisper. When deflecting one of Whisper's attacks, it was sent back with twice the force and power. In a final attack, he was able to nearly cleave Marik in half and carve off one of the swordsman's wings, sending him flying away.

### Durability and Endurance

Vhagar has one of the highest durabilities and endurance on the crew, showcased even as a child. When he was pricked by a tree and blood drew, he was otherwise unfazed besides showing discomfort. Despite consistently being mentally taxed, he had the endurance to continue pushing onward. When he got into a battle against a group of adults, their attacks did deal damage but nothing notable. Each attack he was able to recover from and counter, only for their attacks to wither away at him. Two kicks he attempted to block nearly shattered his arms and sent him flying, his hands being damaged when they continued their assault. When an explosion went off he only experienced bad bruises, otherwise fine. After receiving a point blank explosion, he was sent flying with nearly destroyed lungs by the Inferno Brotherhood's Mr. 6. When Laena and Mr. 6's attacks clashed, a large water orb sent Vhagar flying into the air. Then explosions were being released that sent Vhagar flying with his flesh bearing torn off and heated up rapidly, giving him an X-Shaped Scar on his chest.

During his time on Clockship Island, Vhagar was able to take several attacks by Golatzar head on with no damage, until he began firing off electricity. The attacks began to drastically weaken and pierce Vhagar, withering away until a final attack knocked and seemingly killed Vhagar. After four days of training and during his rematch with Golatzar, Vhagar was able to take a bolt of electricity head on and show no visible damage or strain. And even after exhausting high-level attacks consistently, Vhagar was able to continue delivering several attacks. While on Maple Island, Vhagar suffered serious injuries and was constantly struck with lightning, weakening him. When fighting Lynx, he was also hit with Haki-infused attacks, dealing a greater amount of damage. Despite this and the fact his stamina was rapidly draining, he was able to defeat Lynx. This resulted in him suffering deep wounds that was able to be bandaged up.

All of this culminated in a weakened body, and by the time the crew arrived on Goto Island, Vhagar ran into the swordsman of the Palm Tree Pirates. In a single attack, Vhagar was defeated and heavily wounded, barely able to survive. Fortunately, he was once more bandaged up, though his injuries were causing permanent scars. When he got to Shokupan Island, his body was put under even greater amounts of strain. Challenging Mihawk to a duel, the constant swordsmanship caused his wounds to quickly reopen. A single attack from Mihawk caused his entire body to explode into water. Snow Flower's healing properties were unable to heal him and one of Mihawk's' named attacks nearly killed Vhagar. It resulted in a comatose Vhagar for a week, along with him in a life-threatening condition, barely alive. When arriving on Treasure Island, Vhagar was still badly wounded yet able to combat Gugir the Giant.

When he was facing several Kurogaru-Crossbone Pirates, Arawn, Lynx, and Golatzar, he was able to fight them without a break. Even when sustaining injuries, he wasn't hurt as bad, merely straining his body. After obtaining Ace, he took little to no damage and was able to quickly defeat his foes. On Polarhaven, Vhagar was able to fight with near 100% efficiency, able to combat the Commodore Butley. After taking his attacks head on and being sent flying through a building and crashing into another, Vhagar was able to stand up and continue fighting despite the damage. While fighting, Vhagar suffered minimal injuries yet was using high level attacks left and right, drastically taxing his stamina.

During the events of the Shadows of the North Blue Roleplay Event, Vhagar was able to survive and take being banged around the ship and a crash landing with relatively low injuries. When fighting Whisper, Vhagar was able to take some of his strongest attacks and recover. After fighting him for over 15 minutes without showing signs of slowing down, he was hit by a high level attack that would have killed him had he not blocked and let Snow Flower slightly heal his body. Then after being possessed, Vhagar was able to continue fighting without taking any serious damage afterward.

### Speed and Agility

Vhagar is one of the slower members on the crew, yet has been shown able to match his foes and outspeed them whenever the time arose. As a child, Vhagar was able to consistently keep pace with several adult opponents, outspeeding them the majority of the time. When he became a teenager, he was able to attack so fast that Sea Kings didn't realize what was transpiring. Then, when he arrived on Clockship Island, he was able to keep up with Golatzar in brief bursts, only unable to rival his speed when he began taking significant damage. During their second confrontation, Vhagar was able to consistently keep up with and on occasion outspeed Golatzar, taking only one attack that he couldn't dodge.

By the time he got to Maple Island, Vhagar was able to consistently dodge Lynx's attacks and speed blitz him on almost every occasion until he was drastically slowed down and weakened by Rayne's Weather Arts. Despite this, Vhagar was able to still keep up with Lynx, unable to dodge only the most high level of attacks, and relatively keep pace with his opponent otherwise. By the time of Goto Island, Vhagar's speed hadn't seen any significant growth, being speed-blitzed before he could even react when attacked, twice. During Shokupan Island, even while being injured and still recovering, he was able to keep up with a heavily suppressed Mihawk's speed, only being truly outsped whenever Mihawk would counterattack or they clashed.

During the North Blue War, Vhagar was able to keep up with several opponents at once, all of which he was able to even out speed on certain occasions. On the rare occasion Vhagar was unable to keep up, he was still able to defend against his opponents attacks. After acquiring Ace, Vhagar showed no signs of struggling or being unable to keep pace with his opponents, only slowing down whenever Ace refused to work with the swordsman. When combating Golatzar who was able to switch he and Lynx's positions in an instant, Vhagar was able to quickly knock him out with a single quick strike. On Polarhaven, Vhagar showed the inability to keep up with Butley whenever he got slightly serious, but was still able to outspeed some of the Commodore's attacks.

During the Shadows of the North Blue Event, Vhagar was then able to match the speed of Whisper with his flames on, only being outsped during very brief instances. During the majority of their fight, Vhagar was able to keep pace with him even with his flames off, showcasing another leap in speed. Then, after being possessed, Vhagar easily outsped and blitzed Whisper, ultimately surpassing the Lunarians speed.

## Tactical Abilities / Seitaru Breakdown

Besides his physical abilities, Vhagar has extreme competence and planning abilities, though a lot of his intelligence is much more focused toward combative situations. Vhagar has also consistently shown the ability to come up with countermeasures against his opponents as necessary. His tremendous will has allowed him to consistently overpower Busoshoku Haki users. Vhagar, outside of when the entire crew does it, does not plan out his actions and strategies ahead of time. He is able to learn the strengths and weaknesses of an enemy in a short span of time, and use it to his advantage to give himself a fighting chance.

He is also a capable leader, being able to take the lead for the crew as necessary, and can adapt to just about any situation. Vhagar's on-the-spot tactical abilities were also shown to a significant degree when he and Arawn came up with a plan to stop Golatzar and Lynx's dual combative capabilities. However, given Vhagar's attitude in almost all situations, he has also benefited from luck and fortune. This was seen to its most extreme degree when an attack from every single opponent present on Treasure Island during the North Blue War where Ace was able to completely stop every single attack to save the entire crews life.

## Swordsmanship

Vhagar is an extremely skilled and talented swordsman. He was trained from a young age in the arts of swordsmanship, able to consistently defeat and be one of the top three swordsman in the Vermithor Dojo on Dusk Island. After reaching into his late teens and early adulthood, he became a great master swordsman and has since been able to wield Legendary Swords. Since Vhagar's goal is to become one of the **World's Strongest Swordsman**, he devoted himself to swordsmanship. His journeys across the North Blue has made him quite renowned as a swordsman, granting him his epithet "**Thorn Flower**".

On Shokupan Island, Vhagar came into contact with and confronted Dracule Mihawk, a Warlord and the **World's Strongest Swordsman**. Despite being utterly outclassed, he was able to earn Mihawk's respect, causing him to use both his Kogatana and Yoru. Impressed by his conviction, and as a favor, he let Vhagar live and told him to seek him out when he grows stronger for a proper duel for the title. Vhagar has managed to consistently fight off and fend against both small and large groups of skilled opponents on his own or with minimal help. His most notable accomplishment in this field being when he not only held off, but ultimately defeated Golatzar, Lynx, and Arawn on Treasure Island.

His swordsmanship incorporates tremendous strength to overpower opponents and cause significant damages, however this aided by the swords' quality as weaker ones would break if clashed against too strong opponents. Vhagar has enough strength to release slashes and damage things beyond his usual range. During combat, particularly when wielding Snow Flower, Vhagar has frequently defeated his opponents through cutting them with a single powerful attack as he grows throughout the battle. He does this instead of finding openings to strike them down, though he has used his strength to gain the upper-hand in deadlock clashes to then strike down his opponent. It has been noted by Mihawk that a weaker version of Vhagar, during his time on Shokupan Island had the power to bring entire towns down and destroy them, if he had the range for the attack. Vhagar has since become much stronger than that point.

Although strength plays a large role in his swordsmanship as none of his three styles specifically emphasize power over other attributes, Vhagar likes to stick to a style and use it in combat depending on the situation. However, Vhagar is also capable of switching up his style whenever is necessary, granting him much flexibility in combat and allowing him to find counters in ways that work accordingly. It has been showcased on a consistent basis that certain attacks cause slight changes in how Vhagar fights, or his weapons impact his swordsmanship. One example is through Ace, as its ability to absorb the elements and release it with much more power allowed Vhagar to completely overwhelm Golatzar during the North Blue War.

When combatting Whisper during the Shadows of the North Blue Event, Vhagar was able to consistently increase and improve his swordsmanship. During that battle, Vhagar finally was able to start developing the swordsmanship style he wanted, while also improving the Vermithor Style. This allowed him to use new high level moves, and coupled by his physical attributes, eventually overwhelm and defeat Whisper.

### Vermithor Style

*Main Article: Vermithor Style*

**Vermithor Style** is Vhagar's main style of sword fighting. Many of the attacks involved with the **Vermithor Style** incorporate one of the three stances of fighting. Each attack falls under one of the three stances themed around whatever the situation requires. The first stance is **Dragon's Wing Stance**, which allows him to emphasize fluid movements and quicker strikes at the cost of slightly weaker attacks. His second stance is **Serpent's Coil**, which allows him to deliver precise and accurate strikes, focusing more on accuracy than speed or power. They are also targeted at very specific areas, allowing for the strikes to target weaker points. The last stance is the **Phoenix's Flight Stance**, allowing Vhagar to use ranged sword slashes. Similarly, it focuses on aerial attacks and acrobatic movements, allowing for unexpectedly angled attacks.

#### Two Sword Style

*Main Article: Vermithor Style/Two Sword Style*

The **Two Sword Style** is Vhagar's preferred swordsmanship style that he is developing, using it first against opponents and switching to the main Vermithor Style only as necessary. While it uses the Vermithor Style as a basis, it incorporates two swords instead of a single one. Additionally, it prioritizes strength to supplement the three stances focusing on individual aspects. Despite only having a single use of this style, Vhagar shows incredible mastery over using two swords. When asked if it was his first time using two swords, Vhagar confirmed it while keeping up with, and eventually overwhelming, Whisper. Much like the base Vermithor Style, Two Sword Style incorporates all three stances into his attacks, typically in unison with one another, allowing for more flexible attacks and overall stronger attacks. Because Ace is heavily involved with this swordsman style, Vhagar consistently releases element-like attacks.

### Weapons

Currently, Vhagar is known to have owned two swords, all of them Meito Weapons. He has borrowed other swords for training purposes, but he typically caries one sword on him at any one time. As of Snow Flower's repair, he carries two swords on him. Vhagar is also in the possession of Golatzar's sword at current, though it is unknown if he will use it. The following are the swords that Vhagar owns:

1. **Snow Flower** - One of the Great Grade Blades. It was forged through Noella Heather's final will as she was being burned alive, wherein she transferred all of her power and her soul into her staff. The sword is said to be cursed, and will bring great misfortune unto its wielder if they are unworthy. It was shattered when Vhagar first clashed against Mihawk's Supreme Grade sword Yoru. It has a several special abilities, including limited precognition and Kenbunshoku Haki activation for the wielder, limited healing, and Possession that greatly enhances the wielders speed and strength.
2. **Ace** - One of the Supreme Grade Blades. It was previously wielded by the King of the Pirates, and is known as one of the strongest swords in history. Vhagar acquired this sword during the North Blue War on Treasure Island. **Ace** has several special traits, though the only one revealed as of current is the ability to absorb and dish out elements for much more powerful attacks.

### Kenbunshoku Haki

Vhagar's abilities with Kenbunshoku Haki is a weird one, as he is incapable of using it on his own. In fact, it's entirely innate within him due to his frequent usage and interaction with Snow Flower. Vhagar has had no roleplay confirmation that he is able to use this form of Haki willingly without Snow Flower, as during the period Snow Flower was destroyed he has been unable to tap into any precognitive abilities. However, whenever it has appeared with Snow Flower, it has been claimed that it is remarkably similar, if not is, Kenbunshoku Haki, though disregarded due to his opponents not wanting to believe it is. This ability has allowed Vhagar to perform, dodge, and counter far better than he typically does.
