Ninja Art "Hell Lute"

  • Ninpo: Jigoku Biwa (忍法 地獄琵琶, Ninpō: Jigoku Biwa?, literally meaning "Ninja Art: Hell's Lute"): Benten fires a quick barrage of bullets from her concealed weapon. Despite being called a "Ninja Art", nothing indicates that the technique requires any special abilities aside from the weapon itself. It was first used against Roronoa Zoro.[4]

History

Wano Country Arc

While Robin was sneaking around Orochi Castle, Benten and the rest of the Orochi Oniwabanshu silently appeared behind her.[1] The group surrounded Robin, but Benten and the others were shocked when her clone dissipated after being attacked.[3]

After Shimotsuki Yasuie's execution, the Orochi Oniwabanshu arrived to help fight off the Straw Hat Pirates. Benten shot at Zoro with her concealed firearm but was unable to hit the pirate.[4]
