Six Sword Style

The Six-Sword Style is the fighting style of the octopus Fishman Hatchan. He has a huge advantage of being able to wield 6 swords at once thanks to his octopus-like features. By essence, Rokutouryu is a sword-fighting technique that focuses on the strength of the user, coupled with the number of swords along with the dexterity of the arms wielding them. All these factors make this a truly versatile technique.
