Attack List

 * Neko Baba (ネコババ): Sham very quickly steals a piece of the opponents equipment.
 * Nekoze (ネコ背): Using his strange posture and body structure, Sham is able to quickly avoid an attack.
 * Neko-Yanagi Daikoshin (ネコ柳 大行進): Sham and Buchi team up and rapidly slash the opponent.

History
In the Kuro Arc, Jango becomes desperate so he calls down Sham and Buchi the Nyaban Brothers. Sham pretends to be a coward and Zoro believes it'll be an easy fight but it turns out to be a hoax, and he steals two of Zoro's swords. At this early stage Zoro is not very experienced in one sword style, so he barely defeats them. Sham becomes excited and almost beats him in a frenzy, but Captain Kuro arrives and Sham fails at a mutiny, and they are given five minutes to beat Zoro. But now, Zoro has all his swords so Sham instantly feels Zoro's true capabilities and is wounded, if not killed.
