Abilities:

Super Giant - He's a giant among giants, so to speak. Even considering the giant race, Bilge stands much taller than them - being still a bit taller than four giants climbing at each other's shoulders - to the point that he needed a custom battleship to support his size; that's a trait that runs through all of his family. Proportionally, his strength and durability are much higher than of a giant's as well.

Close Combat - Since his childhood, he's been "trained" by his parents - and by that, it means being beaten until he can strike back decently - in close combat and, with such a raising in Elbaf, close combat became very natural and instinctive to him. Additional to that, he's received martial arts training within the Marines, learning to apply discipline and technique to his instinctive fighting when needed.

Fishing - He likes to fish for Sea Kings using sharks as bait. They're fine meals.

Skills:

Busoshoku Haki - His only colour and the single most trained ability he has. He could use this colour of Haki from very early in his career and, instead of pursuing more, he focused the rest of his training solely on this, which went well with his immense strenght and durability. He already had great skill on it by then, being capable of hardening parts of his limbs only as well as objects which he was holding, but, as he grew to be a veteran, he refined even more his training in this colour, overpowering most of the other Busoshoku within the marines.

Busoshoku: Mjölnir - Hardening his arm, Bilge spins it with increasingly higher speed. The hardening and the contact in high speed with the air sparks lightning on it, causing the next punch to be heavily charged with the potency of a lightning bolt.

Busoshoku: Gjallarhorn - The second strike of a combo - after Mjölnir's lightning strike, the air surrounding the target is filled with heavily concentrated ozone. Barely giving any time after the punch, he moves his hand in the opposite direction to punch with the back of his (still hardened) hand, remnants of static lightning sparking and igniting it with a similar use of "Loptr"; the static sparks and the high temperatures added to the air filled with ozone causes the air to expand and detonate, creating a lightning's return stroke and a loud thunder.

Busoshoku: Ragnarök - The third and last part of the combo. With a lightning bolt and a thunder backhand to stun the enemy for long enough, Bilge jumps extremely high, with the additional help of Geppou to go even higher, and hardens his entire body with Busoshoku Haki. For a moment, his entire pitch black enormous body appears to cover the sun, making it an eclipse lookalike on the whole battlefield. Using Haki to endure the absurd friction between his body and the atmosphere, he falls against the battlefield like a giant meteor, using Tekkai shortly before the collision to endure the fall at terminal speed, virtually obliterating everything in the area.

Busoshoku: Loptr - Hardening his hand and dashing against the opponent whilst scratching his hand against the floor, his hand's ignited in fire, which causes severe burns along with the regular damage from the punch.

Busoshoku: Yggdrasil - Originally made when Bilge ripped a tree from its roots and hardened it with Busoshoku, crushing it against the target; alternatively, he can use a house, building, ship or similar huge construction, but a tree is always of his preference.



Rokushiki - He joined the Marines under the reasoning that his fighting style was sloppy and needed discipline. As promised, the Vice Admiral taught him the discipline necessary to focus your mind into the battle and to train martial arts, along with some of the Rokushiki movements which sharpened his already scary strenght.

Geppou - The first learned; whilst his size makes him out to be much tougher than other creatures, it also affected his maneuvrability a lot. If he was falling, it was even more disastrous than a regular person, since not only the strenght needed to get up was much higher, but also most of the environment was destroyed simply due to falling on the floor. Eventually, he learned to use it on the water as well, virtually being capable to travel through islands waterwalking.

Tekkai - Geppou was taught to counter his weaknesses, but Tekkai was taught to increase his already absurd toughness as a giant. Little could harm him and, the few attacks that were able to, can usually be suppressed by this scary technique, hardening the body to absorb all the impact.

Shigan - Similar to Tekkai and Bilge's favorite Rokushiki technique, where his specialty - Rokushiki wise, at least - lies. Shigan was already very destructive for a human, but as a giant, with his strenght and size being absurd, it was a real massively destructive weapon without the need to gather any speed for the attack.

Rankyaku - Learned over the last two years as the Supernova threat has shown to be much bigger than the Marines initially thought; considering his Rankyaku's size, this is a very rarely used ability, being used only as a necessary resort to completely obliterate one's ship.


Primal Rage - Incredibly so, developed after he's learned discipline. Primal Rage is a state where Bilge uses his ability to focus the mind to induce himself in a primal state of pure and simple fury; he loses all capability of reasoning or being reasoned with, destroying everything and everyone between him and his target. There's no 'talking' at this stage - unless you count the rageful screams talking - and, with the rage, his strenght, which is already scarily huge, increases even more, along with speed and the ability to completely ignore pain or exhaustion. Once the Primal Rage wears off - be it because he killed the target or he simply ran out of fury - Bilge will be exhausted, physical and mentally.
