Kikoku

Kikoku is the name of Trafalgar Law's sword. It is a cursed sword, and it is not a ranked blade.

Appearance
Kikoku is a large version of the typical Japanese sword type known as nodachi. It has an oblong-shaped hilt trimmed with short white fur, a purple grip with two white rings around it and a yellow pommel, sheathed in a black scabbard decorated by white crosses from the opening to the bottom, and with a small piece of red rope tied near its opening. The said rope often varies in length in several forms of media, though it has so far been its longest in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 and 3.

Due to its size, Law usually carries Kikoku over his shoulder (in contrast to other sword-wielding characters in the series, who either carry theirs on their hips or over their backs); yet in other times, he delegates one of his crewmates (namely Bepo) to carry it for him.

Abilities
Law combines Kikoku with his Ope Ope no Mi powers, with the sword serving as a "scalpel" or an "injection needle" of sorts, using it to cut or pierce at a distance. At full power, Law can bisect an entire mountain or meteor. The sword could also block Doflamingo's strings, which is a notable feat as all weapons until then were easily cut by them (unless they were reinforced with Busoshoku Haki).

Trivia

 * In the English localization of One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, it is called Demon Howl in the term glossary gallery menu.
 * "Kikoku" is an archaic Japanese term for "the wailings of a restless ghost".
 * Law is rarely ever seen slashing with Kikoku directly. When he does use it offensively, a ROOM is often active, making the actual properties of the sword unknown, outside of the video games.
