Energy Steroid

Boy did we get our hands on a treasure-hi!! The evil drug 'Energy Steroid'.

Energy Steroid (エネルギーステロイド), also known as the "Evil Drug" (凶薬), is a special pill that when taken, greatly enhances the physical strength of the consumer, as well as increases their muscle mass. In exchange, however, the pill shaves some time off the user's lifespan, similar to Luffy's Gear Second technique. Hordy Jones demonstrated their power by attacking &quot;Crab-Hand&quot; Gyro and his crew without using his hands.

The pills have a checker design, oval in shape and appear to be waterproof (as they did not dissolve in a place filled with water). One pill enhances the strength of the user two-fold, therefore a fishman's strength will become twenty times that of an average human. Two pills will make it four-fold, and each additional intake will continue to increase the strength exponentially. Jones took four pills so he gained a sixteen-fold enhancement, making him at least one-hundred-sixty times stronger than an average human.

It seems that the effects are only temporary, as Jones was noted to not have taken his pills yet during his attack on Ryugu Palace, despite that Jones already took four during his attack on Gyro.

Despite the power it grants, it is not met with approval by all those who know about it. Hatchan, former officer of the Arlong Pirates, disapproved of the younger New Fishmen Pirates destroying their bodies for the sake of their goals.
