Fighting Style
The Akazaya Nine were stated by Shogun Orochi to be "unfathomably strong", so as their leader, Kin'emon is a highly skilled combatant.

Kin'emon is a very proficient swordsman, wielding two katana in battle. Kin'emon utilizes Foxfire Style, which is a sword style that can be utilized by one or two swords. It allows the user to empower their swords with the element of fire, as well granting them the ability to cut through fire. He can also imbue his swords with Haki.

Kin'emon ate a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit called the Garb-Garb Fruit, which allows him to transform a leaf or stone into any kind of clothing or garment by visualizing it. While it has no direct usefulness in battle, Kin'emon can use its powers for stealth and deception, creating disguises for himself or his comrades. It can also be used to create functional armor.
