Hasshoken

Hasshoken is a martial art used by the Chinjao Family.

Description
As stated by Gatz, this fighting style allows the user to control vibrations around their limbs to generate shock. This shock is powerful enough to destroy a metal shield or defeat a strong man easily. Sai also claimed that these attacks are unblockable and reverberating, causing defenses to shatter. According to Chinjao, concentrating all that vibration into a single point can break through just about anything; he implemented this through the use of his coned head.

Variations
This fighting style can be utilized on any limb of the user's body, whether it be the head, fists, legs, or elbows.

Chinjao's Attacks

 * Buto (武頭): Chinjao jumps in reverse and headbutts the enemy. The strike is strong enough to stop Cavendish's Durandal and creates a shockwave while clashing. It was first seen used against Cavendish in Corrida Colosseum. It is unknown if he uses vibrations in this attack.
 * Kiryu Kirikugi (錐龍錐釘): A secret Hasshoken technique that Chinjao was able to perform thanks to his drill-shaped head. Chinjao hardens his head with Busoshoku Haki and headbutts the target. It was strong enough to split open layers of ice that not even fire or axes could breach, and was the "key" to Chinjao's treasure. After his head was flattened by Garp during their duel thirty years ago, he lost the ability to perform the attack. He recently re-obtained his cone shaped head, implying that the technique's former strength may well have returned, since Chinjao's head-first lost against Luffy caused the Arena platform he fell into to split open in a similar fashion to his secret treasure cache.
 * Hasshoken Ogi: Mukiryu Mukirikugi (八衝拳奥義 無錐龍無錐釘): After Chinjao's head was flattened and he realized he could no longer open up the ice above his treasure, Chinjao renamed his technique. It was seen in this form during his fight with Luffy in the Corrida Colosseum, with the intent to kill the young Pirate. Like the original technique, Chinjao hardens his head with Busoshoku Haki and headbutts the target, but the power is greatly diminished. Although it lacked the characteristic concentric circle vibration lines of other Hasshoken techniques, Chinjao still referred to it as a Hasshoken technique.

Trivia

 * The ability to generate and control vibrations is similar to the Gura Gura no Mi.
 * This fighting style is only used by members of the Chinjao Family who are also members of the Happo Navy.
