Energy Steroid

Boy did we get our hands on a treasure-hi!! The evil drug 'Energy Steroid'.

Energy Steroid (エネルギーステロイド), also known as the "Evil Drug" (凶薬), is a special pill that the New Fishman Pirates got their hands on. The pills have a checker design, are ovular in shape, and appear to be waterproof (as they did not dissolve in a place filled with water).

Beneficial Effects
When taken, it greatly enhances the physical strength of the consumer, as well as increases their muscle mass. Hordy Jones demonstrated their power by attacking &quot;Crab-Hand&quot; Gyro and his crew without using his hands.

One pill enhances the strength of the user two fold, therefore a fishman's strength will become twenty times that of an average human. Two pills will make it four fold, and each additional intake will continue to increase the strength exponentially. Jones took four pills so his strength increased sixteen fold, making him at least one hundred sixty times stronger than an average human (he is much stronger than the average fishman).

It seems that the effects are only temporary, as Jones was noted to have not taken his pills yet during his attack on Ryugu Palace, despite the fact that Jones already took four during his attack on Gyro.

Aside from increasing one's physical strength, the pills seem to have revitalizing properties, since an unconscious Hordy Jones was given one after he was defeated the first time by Zoro and he regained consciousness almost immediately. They also seem to act as painkillers, since Jones repeatedly took pills to relieve the ache from the wound Zoro dealt.

Side Effects
Despite the power it grants, it is not met with approval by all those who know about it. Hatchan, former officer of the Arlong Pirates, disapproved of the younger New Fishman Pirates destroying their bodies for the sake of their goals. There are even those within the New Fishman Pirates who disapproved the use of the drug, like Daruma and Ikaros Much.

While the pills do grant power and eases pain, the price for their usage is high: in exchange for the benefits, the pill shaves some time off the user's lifespan, similar to Luffy's Gear Second technique. Overdosing can cause extreme pain, as though one's own body is being torn apart; Hordy had difficulty breathing due to his repeated intake of the pills as painkillers.
