Classification: Fishman, Pirate Captain, Soldier (former)

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (As a Great White Shark Fishman, he should be capable of smelling even a small amount of blood up to 5 kilometers away), Extrasensory Perception (As a Great White Shark Fishman, he should be able to sense bioelectrical fields generated by other aquatic organisms and vibrations within the water, and see well in darkness), Underwater Breathing (Type 2), Natural Weaponry (Via his sharp teeth), Weapon Mastery, Skilled with Fishman Karate, Expert Swimmer, Limited Water Manipulation and Shockwave Generation (Via Fishman Karate), Limited Regeneration (Mid-Low, Like Arlong, Hody is also able to grow his teeth back immediately after they are broken), Healing (The Energy Steroids seem to have stimulant or revitalizing properties, allowing one to recover immediately from being wounded and use their strength to its full extent), Statistics Amplification (Can drastically increase his physical capabilities by consuming Energy Steroids, plus a Fishman gains their natural strength and speed when underwater), Damage Boost (As a Shark Fishman, each time his teeth is shattered and regenerated, it become more stronger than before), Berserk Mode (Is capable of entering a kind of berserker mode when consuming Energy Steroids), Resistance to Madness Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation via Willpower (Through sheer willpower they can resist losing their mind when absorbing shadows through the Kage Kage no Mi. Shadows belonging to strong willed people are difficult to control, allowing them to rebel against Moria's pact which usually immediately submits a shadow to his supremacy and orders. Spiritual energy is contained within one's soul/life; this energy is represented by the fighting power or the Haki itself. Those with strong souls, which are homologous to shadows, resist the effects of Brook's soul manipulation)

Range: Extended Melee Range, a few meters with his trident, several kilometers with Water Darts

Standard Equipment: His trident, Kirisame, and Energy Steroids

Intelligence: Above Average (He was recognized as a particularly talented soldier during his time in the Neptune Army and as such should be noted as an experienced combatant with knowledge and experience of combat techniques on the battlefield. Hody is an extensive planner and shrewd captain, carefully managing the core group of the "New Fish-Man Pirates" so that all its members would share his extremist ideals and intense prejudice towards humanity. He shot Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island and then framed a nearby human smuggler as his scapegoat and kept it a secret for many years to increase support from the wider island community in persecuting humans. He was also more financially supportive of his members, freely willing to spend money to recruit the services of Hyouzou, something which Arlong was unwilling to do, and was also able to recognize the value of an alliance with Vander Decken IX as an equal partner to kill the potential threat of Princess Shirahoshi. He nearly succeeded in overthrowing Neptune and would have if not for Luffy's intervention)

Standard Tactics: Hody is a fairly well-skilled Fishman Karate practitioner, and will prefer to use ranged water-based attacks if possible to snipe an opponent from afar before blitzing in for a kill. Almost always bloodlusted considering his Great White Shark heritage, Hody is exceptionally straightforward in fights. He will attempt to make it a water-based fight for his own advantage if possible, use human shields, bite his opponent with his powerful jaws, and all around try to out-bruteforce his foe with raw physicals. Of special note, Hody will indulge in Energy Steroid quite frequently, a drug which amps the user's physicals by 2 multiplicatively.

Weaknesses: The Energy Steroids that he carries with him grant him a great amount of power, but as a drawback, it causes the body to advance far faster than normal. Less than a few days after losing to Luffy, Hody Jones aged and weakened to the point where fighting was impossible.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Fishman Karate: A martial art practiced by the Fishmen which allowed them to manipulate water in various ways. They could send shock-waves with their punches and kicks, or throw powerful water droplets at their enemies. Hody was a practitioner of Fish-Man Karate and he showcased it by his manipulation of water. He could hurl simple droplets of water and turn them into deadly bullets with extreme kinetic force. He could also punch the water to send a shockwave through the water and the victims body.

After overdosing on Energy Steroids, Hody appeared to drip with water even though he wasn't soaked, suggesting that he'd been secreting it. However, according to Jinbe and Luffy, Hody's Fish-Man Karate was at an amateur level despite his great strength as shown when fighting Luffy, for while Jinbe could do noticeable damage to the rubber man, Hody's attacks were ineffective. After his body became old and frail, his Fish-Man Karate ability most likely decreased significantly.

• Soshark (Soshāku?, literally meaning "Rough Shark"): Hody uses his tremendous strength and grip to crush large walls of stone.

• Yabusame (矢武鮫 Yabusame?, literally meaning "Arrow Military Shark"): Hody first wets his arm, then he uses his massive strength to throw many drops of water, which are converted into deadly arrows through mere kinetic force. After his transformation on Energy Steroids, Hody secretes the water from his arm, rather than gathering it from an external source.

• Uchimizu (���水 Uchimizu?, literally meaning "Water Shot"): The basic version of Yabusame, in which Hody throws a single drop of water like a bullet. After undergoing the transformation due to the Energy Steroids, the penetrative force of this attack has increased in an unbelievable way, to the point where it not only pierced through a fish-man, but also through several structures and rock formations behind him, moving a long distance away from the location from which it was fired, and only then returning to its original state of drop and falling in the water.

• Umidaiko (海太鼓 Umidaiko?, literally meaning "Ocean Drum"): Hody punches the water in front of him pushing it at his opponent and sending a shockwave through it. The shockwave hits the opponent dealing great damage and leaving a pressure mark on his body.
