8-SHIRYU
Shiryu’s strength is said to be equal to the Chief Warden Magellan. However, since Magellan’s work hours are limited due to his diarrhea, Shiryu was considered more dangerous.
Shiryu has extremely formidable speed, and has shown himself to possess incredible superhuman endurance.
He is extremely proficient in wielding his nodachi, having used it to kill numerous prisoners of Impel Down, all who were noted to be powerful and dangerous criminals. When his sword was returned to him after a long term imprisonment, Shiryu killed several of his fellow Impel Down officers in a split second, demonstrating extraordinary precision and dexterity in his swordsmanship.
Shiryu has eaten the Suke Suke no Mi, a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit which gives him the ability to turn himself and whatever he is holding invisible. With this fruit, he is able to cut opponents without being spotted, taking them by surprise. He held this ability in high regard in terms of usefulness.
