The Nanashaku Jitte[2] is Smoker's primary weapon. It is a jitte with a tip made of Seastone, which Smoker uses to suppress Devil Fruit users' powers in order to defeat and capture them.[1]

Abilities[]

As the jitte is tipped with Seastone, it can be used to nullify Devil Fruit powers simply by contact. Smoker uses this to his advantage when striking Devil Fruit users, draining them of their strength and reducing their mobility. He uses it in conjunction with his Moku Moku no Mi powers to get close to his opponents in order to make his strikes land. Because of its composition, the jitte does not transform into smoke along with Smoker.[3]

Smoker can also imbue the jitte with Busoshoku Haki, turning it darker in color. This makes it much harder and allows him to strike with much more force.[4]

Techniques[]

  • White Launcher (ホワイトランチャー, Howaito Ranchā?): Smoker transforms himself into smoke and launches himself at his opponent, then solidifies again and pins his opponent down with the Nanashaku Jitte. It was first used against Luffy in Marineford.[5]

Video Game Only Techniques[]

  • Jitte Ranbu (十手乱舞, Jitte Ranbu?, literally meaning "Jitte Dance"): Smoker swings his jitte multiple times for horizontal strikes, hitting the enemy into the air, before using his smoke powers to circle back around and deliver a final blow that knocks multiple foes far back. This was shown in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3.[6]
  • White Hound (ホワイト・ハウンド, Howaito Haundo?): Smoker transforms himself into smoke and releases dense smoke into a large circle around him. Surrounding enemies are drawn into him at the center, where he attacks them rapidly with a flurry of strikes from his jitte while the whole area is covered in smoke before launching them away. It appeared in Pirate Warriors 3 as Smoker's second Special Attack.
  • White Blow Rush (ホワイト・ブローラッシュ, Howaito Burō Rasshu?): Smoker hits an enemy with his jitte, then uses White Blow repeatedly, and hits the enemy again with his weapon. It appeared in Burning Blood.

History[]

The weapon was effortlessly destroyed by Boa Hancock when she kicked it to pieces after petrifying it.[7] Two years after its destruction, Smoker is seen wielding the jitte once again, apparently repaired or replaced by the one on the wall of his office when he is first seen.[8] However, it was once again destroyed by Vergo's Oni Take.[9]

Anime and Manga Differences[]

In the manga the handle is pure white and the body a light color, while in the anime it was first introduced with a metallic dark gray body and a brown hilt. This was later corrected after the timeskip, in Episode 572, to match the manga color scheme, in which the new jitte is now silver-white and has a white hilt wrapping.

Trivia[]

  • The jitte (also known as a jutte, both meaning "Ten Hand") is a weapon used by Japanese law enforcers, which fits Smoker's status as a Marine officer. The hook on a jitte is normally meant to help disarm an opponent, while the truncheon part is used to subdue the criminal.
  • A shaku is a measurement unit in Japan, one shaku being 10/33 meters. Based on the name (seven shaku), the jitte is 2.12 meters in length.
  • It is probable that Smoker either owns more than one jitte, or has authority to order a new one, seeing how his jitte got broken at the Summit War of Marineford and was later replaced.
