Urban's full appearance.
Personality[]
Urban keeps enough attention of his comrades to note whenever one of them loses contact.[5]
Abilities and Powers[]
As a Vice Admiral, he has authority over lower-ranking Marines.
Weapons[]
Urban carries a bladed weapon[1] and a staff with a piece of fleece at the tip, resembling a cannon sponge.[6]
Urban ate the Tsutsu Tsutsu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to turn his body parts into cannons. He first demonstrated this ability when Jaygarcia Saturn ordered marines to fire on Jewelry Bonney while he was holding her, with Urban pointing his hat at her.[4]
In the anime, Urban has displayed the ability to use the technique Geppo, which he used to travel from his battleship to Egghead.[7]
Haki[]
As all Vice Admirals possess Haki,[8] Urban can also use the ability. He demonstrated the ability to use Observation Haki when sensing the presence and arrival of Jaygarcia Saturn on Egghead.[6]
History[]
Final Saga[]
Egghead Arc[]
When the World Government had ordered to eliminate Vegapunk, Urban, alongside Jaygarcia Saturn, Kizaru, and eight other Vice Admirals, led a Marine fleet to besiege the island of Egghead.[1] After Kizaru had infiltrated Egghead, the Marines managed to make landfall at the island. Shortly after, Urban and Doll felt the presence of Saturn arriving on the island.[6] As Saturn had caught Jewelry Bonney in his reach, the Marines prepared to execute her,[4] but the squad was wiped out by Bartholomew Kuma.[9]
Saturn then ordered a Buster Call on Egghead, prompting the Marines to evacuate.[10] During the attack, the Pacifista under Bonney's command were attacking the ships. Soon after Tosa reported he would attempt to kill Bonney to retrieve control of the Pacifista, Urban noticed they had lost further contact with him after he was defeated by Brogy.[5]
His name and cannon-based ability may be a reference to the Hungarian cannon engineer Urban, or one of his cannons, the Basilic, which is known in Japan as the "Urban Cannon" (ウルバン砲,Uruban-hō?).
