Also known as Foxfire Kin'emon. Initially a non-playable NPC, but was made playable through DLC.

Kin'emon is a samurai retainer to the Kozuki Clan, and is the leader of the Akazaya Nine, a squad of nine retainers that served under Kozuki Oden. He is initially introduced as the father of Momonosuke. Kin'emon and the Nine Red Scabbards were known for leading an unsuccessful revolt against Kurozumi Orochi 20 years ago. As punishment, Kaido burned down Oden Castle and wiped out the Kozuki clan. Kozuki Toki sent Kin'emon and his comrades sent twenty years into the future to formulate a plan to regain Wano.

The Straw Hat Pirates meet Kin'emon on Punk Hazard. From there, they form an alliance, and he joins them on their journey in order to reach his final destination, Wano.

Special Skills

Note: These skills are placed in order of the "Special Move Set" menu.

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. In game, Kin'emon has a very fiery and explosive fighting style. Many of his moves involve unleashing large amounts of flames on enemies. Several of his attacks will leave fire spots on the ground, and will detonate if any of his flame-based attacks touch it, making him effective at crowd control. When in Full-Force Burst, the amount of fire spots created by his attacks will increase, allowing for more destructive capabilities.

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.

Trivia[]

  • Kin'emon is the second NPC to DLC playable following X Drake.
