Rokushiki, or the Six Powers, is a unique and highly advanced martial arts style used by members of Cipher Pol and other elite combatants within the World Government. This technique-based combat system emphasizes physical mastery and superhuman control over one’s body, allowing practitioners to perform extraordinary feats of speed, power, and resilience. Developed as a combat style for agents engaged in dangerous missions, Rokushiki is designed to give its users an edge over conventional fighters, making it a cornerstone of Cipher Pol’s elite training.
The six techniques that comprise Rokushiki—Shigan, Soru, Tekkai, Rankyaku, Geppo, and Kami-e—each focus on enhancing a specific physical ability. Together, they create a versatile arsenal of skills that can adapt to any combat situation. Practitioners train rigorously to unlock the full potential of their bodies, pushing themselves beyond the limits of normal human capabilities.
Shigan, or "Finger Gun," involves concentrating immense force into a single fingertip, allowing the user to pierce through flesh and even armor with a simple thrust. It transforms the body itself into a weapon, emphasizing precision and lethality. Soru, or "Shave," enhances the user’s speed to such an extreme degree that they appear to vanish from sight, allowing them to close gaps or evade attacks instantaneously. This technique relies on superhuman acceleration and is essential for maneuverability in battle.
Tekkai, or "Iron Body," focuses on hardening the user's muscles to the point of becoming as resilient as steel. This defensive technique can withstand most physical attacks, though it requires the user to remain stationary to achieve full effectiveness. Rankyaku, or "Storm Leg," uses rapid kicks to create compressed air slashes capable of cutting through opponents or objects at a distance, turning close-range combat into a ranged threat.
Geppo, or "Moonwalk," allows the user to leap repeatedly in midair by kicking off the air itself, granting aerial mobility and the ability to engage opponents at different elevations. Finally, Kami-e, or "Paper Art," enables the user to relax their body to an extreme degree, making them so flexible that they can dodge incoming attacks effortlessly, as if their body were a weightless sheet of paper.
Rokushiki practitioners aim to master all six techniques, though individuals often specialize in one or two depending on their strengths and combat style. Each technique demands immense physical conditioning, discipline, and precision, making Rokushiki a combat style reserved for elite fighters. Mastery of Rokushiki not only enhances the user’s offensive and defensive capabilities but also allows them to adapt to the unpredictable nature of battle.
Together, the Six Powers of Rokushiki form a martial arts system that transcends traditional combat, granting its users dominance on the battlefield. Whether in close quarters or at range, on land or in the air, Rokushiki practitioners wield their bodies as ultimate weapons, making them feared opponents and valuable assets to the World Government.
Rokushiki Training is the Marine’s secret martial art, a system designed to turn the human body into a living weapon through six ultimate techniques. Soru (speed step) is trained by sprinting until one’s legs blur, vanishing in bursts of motion. Geppo (Moon Step) requires leaping repeatedly off the air itself, strengthening legs until the sky becomes a battlefield. Tekkai (Iron Body) is honed by taking blows without flinching, tensing muscles until they feel like steel. Shigan (Finger Pistol) is drilled by striking endlessly with the fingers, driving precision and force into each thrust. Rankyaku (Storm Leg) is mastered through powerful kicks that release air blades, demanding flexibility and explosive strength. Kami-e (Paper Art) is trained by flowing with attacks instead of resisting them, refining body control until one can dodge like paper caught in the wind. Above these six lies the secret Rokugan (Six King Gun), achieved only by masters who can focus the sum of their physical power into a single devastating strike.
