Abilities and Powers

Weapons
Haruta is a swordswoman, and carries around a decorated saber with a purple hilt.

One demostration of his level of swordmanship is the fact that he/she is able to cut through steel.

Later he/she helped in the assault of the Plaza. He/she was seen crying when Admiral Akainu killed Ace and later appeared along side his/her fellow Whitebeard division commanders fought Akainu. This battle was never shown, but he/she is shown to be unharmed later on. Upon the arrival of Shanks and Sengoku calling the war coming to a close, he/she and the rest of Whitebeard's crew left.
