In the anime, this move has the side-effect of generating purple clouds of smoke that rise from the ground as Kuro moves at his topmost speed. He moves so fast that even he does not know what he's attacking, and only stops when he becomes tired (or when someone can catch and physically stop him, as Luffy did). The degree to which he inflicts his attacks is so random that they range from mediocre scratches to fatal evisceration of both friend and foe alike.

He initiates this move by swaying back and forth sideways in a fluid manner this is necessary in order to enter the 'trance' needed to perform the move. A fearsome attack that utilizes Kuro's Nuki Ashi to the fullest, moving at a speed of 100 meters in 4–5 seconds, allowing him to sweep a large area and kill anything his claws connect with, including his own crew. Shakushi ( 杓死, Shakushi ?, literally meaning 'Scoop Death'): Kuro's ultimate technique.Though Kuro's raw speed is roughly the same as that of CP9's Soru technique and long claws make him a deadly fighter, his weakness lies in his inability to see clearly while running, causing him to strike anything his claws randomly connect with, whether it be an enemy, the surroundings, or his subordinates. Kuro primarily uses these giant claws in conjunction with his superhuman speed to strike his opponents with such swiftness that they will not know what struck them until it is too late he can reportedly kill 50 highly skilled assassins before they notice his presence. Kuro pushes his glasses up with his palm in order not to scratch his face with his claws, a behavior that he retains even after assuming a civilian identity. However, they may not be exceptionally durable, as Luffy managed to snap the right claw. When not in use, they are typically kept inside a duffel bag.ĭue to the length and sharpness of the blades, one swing can inflict multiple aggravating wounds and cut through walls and rocks. They are reminiscent of claws, resulting in their name.
