Name: The Pride of Eskaru
Type of Weapon: Zanbato
- Spoiler:
If unfamiliar with the Zanbato
Appearance: The Pride's Distinct Feature is the sheer size of the blade, measuring up to seven feet long. With a Ricasso of thirteen inches. The hilt is also a lot larger as well being eleven inches giving a wide range of hand positions, thereby extending the reach, not like it needs it. The sheer immensity of the weapon is also it's main downfall, but, We'll get to that later. The Hilt is covered in sharkskin, giving better purchase. The blade's color is also rather remarkable. It was treated by alloying steel with 17% Manganese which using the properties of Mangalloy, creates a sturdier blade, while giving it a nice Deep blue, purple, and grey color.
Element: Earth
Ability: Bone Dry
Description:It has the ability to attribute the earthen element to whatever it cuts, hardening it and soaking out all the moisture within a certain area of where it strikes. Thereby, being cut takes moisture from the body. (Credit goes to Law for this epic ability)
Weakness: The drawback, is the blade, being an inanimate object, or a vengeful spirit, which animism would account for. Is not aware or just out for payback, Will sap moisture from anything it cuts, even the wielder of the blade, if it was turned on him. It also requires a constant flow of earth chakra to activate the ability. which drains the user to bone dry as well.
Seeing on how the body has a total of forty liters average
Cut to an outer Extremity- would take about 2% if the total percentage of water, which is around 800 milliliters. so if only cuts to extremities are concerned, it would take 50 cuts
Cut to the torso or abdomen- would take around 12% of the total water percentage, which is about 4.8 liters. So if only cuts to the abdomen or torso are concerned, it would take around 8-9 cuts.
Being impaled- Would take around 32% of the total water percentage, which would be 12.8 liters. If you were only being impaled, It would take 3-4 times being impaled.
Drawbacks: The sheer size of the sword, decreases speed by two, and Agility by three. It is also almost useless in a close quarters fight, bring too large to fit in a hallway or such.
Materials: Chakra Conducting Metal/ Mangalloy -d steel
