He displays confidence in his abilities and his crew, unafraid to confront even powerful adversaries like the Big Mom Pirates.

Abilities

Norito Goshi's abilities primarily revolve around his Cursed Gear, which grants him powerful illusion-based powers. He excels at creating realistic illusions, capable of affecting even high-ranking vampires like Crowley Eusford. His illusions are not merely visual; they can create tangible effects, such as a simulated volcanic landscape complete with heat and flowing lava, effectively hindering enemy movement and providing cover for his allies. He can also conjure large numbers of illusory soldiers to overwhelm opponents and create diversions. While not a direct combatant, his tactical use of illusions is crucial in supporting his squad and turning the tide of battle. His abilities are primarily defensive and supportive, focusing on deception and misdirection rather than direct offensive power.
