He has incredible reflexes, and is able to move very fast since he immediately backed up Luffy against Mihawk. He uses two swords.

Marineford Arc
He first appeared in Ace's flashback, saying that he had guts for attempting to assassinate Whitebeard numerous times. In present day, he was first seen attacking with the other Whitebeard Pirates after Aokiji froze the bay and immobilized all the ships. Later, he was seen deflecting Vice-Admiral Ronse's axe attack with his swords. He then had his first formal introduction when Marco told him to back up Luffy from Mihawk's assault and he did so, successfully blocking Mihawk's sword with his own. As the Pacifista units move in, Vista and Mihawk decided to postpone their battle and escape from being surrounded. He, along with his fellow crewmates, is seen shocked when Whitebeard gets stabbed by Squad.
