SKILLS:

Navigation - Auros holds enough expertise in navigation to steer his own airship, even in the unpredictable enviroment of New World.

''Bushin-ken'' ["Fist of the Weaponmaster"] - fighting style of the DaGama family, meant for the true heir - but Augustus abandoned its use after obtaining his fruit power, deeming it too lethal. The basis of it is making limbs act as different weapons and it may have some common root with Rokushiki used by Goverment forces.

ABILITIES:

Superhuman - as all members of the DaGama family, he posseses a superhuman physique that lets him keep up in fight even with more powerful pirates. Auros himself is the most powerful member of the family, even stronger than his brother DaGama who serves as the Head Warden of the Impel Down prison.

Busoshoku Haki - his more developed color, Hardening is used as an obligatory part of Bushin-ken techniques, so he could be considered a highly skilled user.

Kenbunshoku Haki - less developed, since Auros doesn't pay that much attention to other people. It's mostly used to improve his already impressive reflexes.

TECHNIQUES:

''Sword'' - a swing perfromed with a hardened forearm, giving it the properties of an actual sword, with enough cutting power to slice cleanly through a fortified wall.

''Spear'' - an arm thrust performed with a fist with its index and middle finger extended, able to pierce steel easily.

''Shield'' - by focusing on hardening the small area of the elbow, it's transformed into a shield able to stop and deliver powerful attacks.

''Club'' - a clothesline-like move, where a hardened forearm is used as a smashing device that can break through stone and iron.

''Flail'' - a wind-up punch performed with a relaxed elbow joint, giving it additional flexibility and momentum, with power comparable to the Hammer technique.

''Dagger'' - a strike performed in extremely close quarters without pulling the arm back, performed with extended fingers and used as a finishing blow or to gain distance - it can easily pierce flesh and damage vital organs.

''Halberd'' - the user stands with their side facing the opponent while extending both arms in a cross-like fashion, then rushes in and begins spinning, delivering a deadly combination of slicing and bludgeoning damage, the arms serving role of the blade and heft ends of a halberd.

''Axe'' - a desceding kick, with the foreleg imbued with power to slice and crush.

''Hammer'' - a roundhouse kick, with the hardened heel delivering maximum crushing power, able to easily crush buildings.

''Lance" - a powerful flying kick performed with straightened foot, hardened with Haki to create a form of 'jousting' with a limb, strong enough to pierce steel armor.

''Ram'' - a jumping knee strike using heavily focused Busoshoku Haki, hitting with power required to bash open a castle gate.

''Pistol'' - a snap performed with thumb and middle finger, sending a pellet of Haki-imbued air with armorpiercing properties.

''Bow'' - a technique performed by user hardening a strand of their hair, then firing it torwards the target by stretching it and releasing; Haki makes it hard and sharp as steel arrow, while keeping the springines of hair, required to store energy.

''Cannon'' - user initially crosses their arms in preparation for this technique, showing opponent a clear opening without guard and when they rush in, the arms are instantly extended with enough force to create a powerful and destructive push of Busoshoku Haki, ripping apart everything in front of the user.
