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.

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. This is called Head-Arms in the Viz manga.


 * Hasshoken Ogi: Kiryu Kirikugi (八衝拳奥義 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. After his head was reshaped by Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Thor Elephant Gun, he regained the ability to use this technique, and was shown using it in combination with Elizabello II's Light Version King Punch to shatter Pica's arm. This is called Drill Dragon Nail in the Viz manga.
 * 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. It became obsolete once Chinjao's head was restored to its drill-shape. This is called Non-Drill Dragon Non Nail in the Viz manga.

Anime Only

 * Buto Kaiten (武頭回転): Chinjao plants his head into the ground and does a head stand, put his hands together and legs apart, and spins like a top. He then moves towards his opponent like a tornado. The force of the attack sent all of the unconscious gladiators around him flying. This is called Head-Arms Spin in the FUNimation subs.
 * Buto Kaiten: Ranbu (武頭回転乱舞): A variant of Buto Kaiten where Chinjao spins faster and has more control over his movements, allowing him to turn more quickly and spin towards his opponent at great speed, occasionally jumping through the air. Luffy stopped the spinning by wrapping his arm around Chinjao's entire body. This is called Head-Arms Spin: Wild Dance in the FUNimation subs.

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.
