Haki
It was stated that all Vice Admirals possess Haki, so Lacroix can also use the ability. However, he has not yet been shown using it.

Ace's Execution
He was seen standing guard in front of the execution platform alongside Vice Admiral Ronse and the other members of the Giant Squad when Sengoku told the world of Ace's past. He was later seen with the rest of the Giant Squad. When Oars Jr charged forth, he and the other Giant Squad members defended the bay. He briefly mentions to the others that this was the first time he ever had to look up at someone. Lacroix was cut down by the giant with ease.

At the end, when Sengoku announced the war was over, he was seen being helped raised to his feet by the other giants.
