Kappa Style

Kappa-ryu is a swordsmanship style used by the samurai Kawamatsu. As noted by Raizo and Kikunojo, this style is Kawamatsu signature fighting style, despite the latter being a sumo wrestler.

Overview
According to Kawamatsu, fighting against the Kappa-ryu is like trying to swim against raging waters. When wielding his Soto Muso, Kawamatsu was able to blow away several men charging against him, taking them down with a single blow.

Techniques

 * Menamu-gawa: Kawamatsu lunges toward his opponents, holding the blade's tip toward them and overwhelming them. It was first used against several Beasts Pirates guards in the Prisoner Mine. Namu (南無) is a transliteration of Sanskrit नमस् (námas, literally "to bow") and it is used in Buddhist salutations or expressions of faith. In the VIZ manga, this is called River of Retribution.
 * Yorikiri (寄り斬り): Kawamatsu performs a slash and sends opponents flying away. It was first used against several Beasts Pirates guards in the Prisoner Mine.
