Axe

Axe
An axe (斧) is a shaft (usually metal or wood) with a bladed head attached to the opposite end of the handle.

The blade can either be a sharp rock or a metal blade, sharp on one or both ends. Basically, axes are meant for swinging, and due to the light weight design (based on the size), makes it easier to utilize. They can also be modified to be thrown as deadly projectiles. Battle axes are axes designed specifically for combat.



Morgan is the first significant person within the series to use an axe, having replaced his severed right hand with a large single-bladed axe, living to his epithet "Axe-Hand Morgan". Brogy wielded a Bruiser Axe that ultimately shattered after 100 years of battle. Kashi, like his captain Brogy, uses a single-sided axe. Sentomaru uses a giant, double-bladed broadaxe that is known as a masakari, but only utilizes it in tougher situations. X Drake uses a peculiar type of battle axe, in which is has four blades, one in each cardinal direction. Ronse uses a giant double-bladed axe. Vander Decken IX uses a large amount of giant axes, embossed with rose design on the center, either with single or double sided blades; he would either use them for close combat (single-side) or as throwing projectiles (double-blade) that is combined with his Mato Mato no Mi.
