Attack Style: Fencing style: The "Fencing style" used by Brook is an unnamed form of swordsmanship that resembles classical fencing. It's attacks consist of fast cutting techniques used by Brook's Kingdom's Assault Squad. The majority of the techniques are named after songs and dances coupled with fencing terms usually spoken in French but sometimes makes use of Japanese.
* Hanauta Sanchō: Yahazu Giri (鼻唄三丁:矢筈斬り, literally translated as Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slash): A technique in which the user slashes an opponent at such a fast pace that it appears that they didn't attack at all (in fact, to the casual observer it would look like the user simply walked past the victim). Only when a certain amount of time has passed, which is approximate to the time the user walks ten feet away, or three steps (verses, as the name suggests), does their opponent only realize the attack. It seems to employ elements of iai (instant sword-draw-and-resheath) since it is generally initiated (though not always) with the user moving towards the intended target(s) with a naked blade and walks past them before sheathing it back. It is usually at this point that the victims start manifesting the effects of this high-speed attack. The actual attack is however not seen clearly due to the speed it implemented. The technique is highly versatile, since with it, the user can slash multiple targets at once and if they so wish, the damage they inflict can be as fatal or as incapacitating as they like.
Rank Of Usage: Commander/Captain
* Aubade Coup Droit (夜明歌 [オーバード]･クー・ドロア, Yoru Mei Uta [Ōbādo] Kū Doroa, literally translated as Dawn Serenade: Right-Handed Strike): A thrusting technique with the sword that apparently creates a highly compressed blast of air with enough power to burst its way through a thick wall as if fired from a gun. Powerful as it is, it could just as easily be countered by a similar attack.
Rank Of Usage: Pirate/Lieutenant
* Prelude: Au Fer (前奏曲 [プレリュード]･オフエル, Zensōkyoku [Pureryūdo] Ofueru, literally translated as Prelude: After): A technique in which the user slashes an opponent's weapon almost instantaneously. Apparently intended to disarm the opponent by destroying whatever weapon they might be wielding at close range.
Rank Of Usage: Deckhand/Recruit
* Gavotte Bond en Avant (革命舞曲 [ガボット] ボンナバン, Kakumei Bukyoku [Gabotto] Bonnaban, literally translated as Revolution Musical Dance Leap Forward): A sword thrusting technique in which the user propels yourself forward in order to strike an opponent.
Rank Of Usage: Deckhand/Recruit
* Polka Remise (酒樽舞曲 [ポルカ]･ルミーズ, Sake Taru Bukyoku [Poruka] Rumīzu, literally translated as Wine Barrel Musical Dance Continuation): A technique in which the user delivers several thrusts against an opponent. Visually, due to the user's speed, it looks as if they are thrusting with several swords.
Rank Of Usage: Deckhand/Recruit
* Nemuriuta Flanc (眠り唄･フラン, Nemuriuta Furan, literally translated as Lullaby Parry): A technique wherein the user swipes your weapon over a violin like a fiddle and plays a soothing melody which makes the user's enemies fall asleep. This allows you to score a free hit on the sleeping enemies. The main drawback however is that allies of the user are also susceptible to falling asleep as well. Carries the "lullaby parry" song on its sword edge, like a violinists' bow, and creating a sleep-inducing soundwave.
Rank Of Usage: Deckhand/Recruit
* Swallow Bond En Avant (飛燕･ボンナバン, Hien Bonnaban, literally translated as Flying Swallow Leap Forward): An aerial version of Gavotte Bond En Avant. This is an attack where you first positions yourself in mid-air several feet above the target and then performs a descending Bond En Avant spinnng downwards in an attempt to spear your target. The word "Swallow" in this technique comes from the fact that this is a extremely-fast air-based attack.
