Swordsmanship
Gyukimaru has shown considerable skill in swordsmanship, wielding his bisento well and clashing rapidly and evenly with the accomplished swordsman Roronoa Zoro.

Weapons
Gyukimaru's main weapon is a very long bisento, which grants him great size and range in addition to cutting power.

He also carries around a very large variety of weapons on his back.

Wano Country Arc
Gyukimaru was in Ebisu Town when he spotted the sword Shusui and took it. He went to Ringo and returned it to Ryuma's grave before he was confronted on Oihagi Bridge by Roronoa Zoro, from whom he had taken Shusui. Refusing to believe Zoro rightfully earned the sword, Gyukimaru battled him to take his other two swords. A woman and a girl named Toko then came onto the scene being chased by Kamazo, and as Zoro turned his attention to Kamazo, Gyukimaru repeatedly tried striking at his openings, annoying the swordsman.
