Appearance
Summary
Vitan is a cyborg with a body that appears to be made of iron or some other type of metal from the waist up. As such, his head, body, and arms are composed of metal parts, with his hands being a set of metal claws. On the other hand, the digitally colored manga shows that his neck and face also appear to be made from metal, but are skin-colored, as opposed to the metal color of his body. Furthermore, Vitan also wears a metal hat and a pair of gray, possibly metal pants with a green sash around it. In his original sketch, Vitan had less of a robotic look, but instead appeared to be wearing some sort of garment with frills in the center.

Abilities And Powers
Summary
Vitan is a fearsome pirate who has managed to achieve an infamous reputation in the New World. As a cyborg, his robotic body is capable of serving as a form of stronger defense than the average human skin. Furthermore, his robotic hands are far superior than a human's in terms of arm strength, which means that it is likely to be an asset during combat since he was not seen charging into battle with any sort of weapon.
