Soru
Soru (剃) - Literally, to shave. A technique in which the user moves at very high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds. It was revealed that the principle of this move was to kick off the ground at least 10 times in the blink of an eye. It is presumably the first form of Rokushiki.

Another thing that should be noted of this particular skill is that Kuro's "Shakushi" travels at the roughly the same speed as CP9's Soru ability. The difference is that when Kuro uses that technique, he cannot see what he is attacking, whereas CP9 have mastered this ability and therefore can.[1]

Koby, a master chief petty officer, knows this technique. Luffy, after discovering how Soru was used, utilised it in his fights against Blueno and Lucci. The fact that people outside CP9's membership are able to use Soru suggests that it is the easiest to master and perhaps the most rudimentary of all six forms.

Variations:

Kamisori (剃刀) - Literally, razor. Used by Lucci. A combination of Geppou, Soru and Kami, where Lucci uses Soru in a zigzag motion in midair, allowing extremely fast movement in 3 dimensions.
Soru "Tekkai Dama" (剃　"鉄塊玉" wink - Literally, Soru "Tekkai ball". Used by Fukurou. In this attack, Fukurou spins his body at great speeds towards his opponent using Soru, then uses Tekkai to harden his spherical body.
Chou Sokutei Tekkai Dama (Rapid-spinning Tekkai ball) - A variation on the above technique. Fukurou performs his usual Tekkai Dama movements, but combines them with Geppou to use the attack in mid-air.

[edit] Kami-e
Kami-e (紙絵) - Literally, paper drawing. A technique in which the user makes their body go limp in order to avoid any attacks, and float like a piece of paper. It is presumably the second form of rokushiki.

Variations:

Kami-e Bushin (紙絵武身) - Literally, Kami-e fighting form. Used by Lucci. Using seimei kikan (life return, the same sennin technique as Kumadori), he makes his half-leopard form smaller and lighter, possibly to use Kami-e better. At any rate, he is much more agile in this form, and harder to hit - as opposed to his hulking normal half-leopard form.
Kami-e "Slime" (紙絵　"軟泥" wink - Used by Fukurou. Instead of the body becoming limp like paper, it stretches and moves in ways slime or sludge would move in order to avoid attacks.

[edit] Geppou
Geppou (月歩) - Literally, moon step. A technique in which the user actually jumps off the air itself, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual. CP9 members can use this technique to cross great distances without ever touching the ground, or set themselves up for swift, aerial attacks. Despite the many advantages that Geppou gives, it has one major weakness: since its use revolves around the feet, the technique can be disrupted if the user's legs are restrained or pinned down. This is exactly what happened to Fukurou on his fight with Franky. No CP9 member has yet shown any variations of the technique, with the exception of Lucci's kamisori. It is presumably the third form of Rokushiki.


[edit] Rankyaku
Rankyaku (嵐脚) - Literally, storm leg. A projectile technique in which the user kicks out at very high speeds and strength, cutting the air, sending out a sharp "air blade" that can slice objects and greatly damage a human body. It is unknown why (probably to make it easier to see the air blades) but the slices produced by this technique give off an eerie blue glow. It is presumably the fourth form of Rokushiki.

Variations:

Rankyaku "Hyoubi" (嵐脚　"豹尾" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "leopard-tail". Used by Lucci in his half-leopard form. Lucci creates a large Rankyaku in the shape of a swirl, which is launched at the enemy like a razor blade.
Rankyaku "Gaichou" (嵐脚　"凱鳥" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "victorious bird" (homonym with Rankyaku "injurious bird" wink . Used by Lucci. Lucci creates a large Rankyaku in the shape of a bird, but instead of using his legs, he uses his claws in his half-leopard form. This Rankyaku has a much wider range, and is able to cleave steel - something not witnessed with other variations. The cut also seems more focused, instead of flickering and jagged like a normal Rankyaku.
Rankyaku "Sen" (嵐脚　"線" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "line". Used by Kaku and Nero. The air is cut in a straight line towards the opponent, instead of in a curve, as witnessed in the normal version.
Rankyaku "Hakurai" (嵐脚　"白雷" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "white thunder". Used by Kaku. A much more powerful form of Rankyaku, it seems to cut the air in a larger area, and appears to be equal (in power) to Zoro's Nitōryū technique: Nanajuu-Ni Pondou Hou (Seventy-two Pound Cannon| 72 Earthly Desires).
Rankyaku "Ran" (嵐脚　"乱" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "war". Used by Kaku. After using Geppou to launch himself into the air, Kaku cuts the air multiple times through swift kicks with both legs. Each cut is smaller than a normal Rankyaku.
Rankyaku "Amane Dachi" (嵐脚　"周断" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "circumference sectioning". Used by Kaku in his half-giraffe form. In this attack he spins around quickly in a circle while performing Rankyaku. The attack was powerful enough to cut through the outer walls of the Tower of Justice in all directions. Kaku says that this is his most powerful Rankyaku.
Rankyaku "Kiri Shigure" (嵐脚　"麒麟時雨" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "giraffe autumn rain" (as well as a homonym with cutting autumn rain). Used by Kaku in his half-giraffe form. After turning himself into a cube with Tekkai "mushikaku", Kaku uses Rankyaku towards the ceiling with all four of his limbs. There, the mass of small Rankyaku cuts bounce back, falling like rain on the enemy.
Rankyaku "Neji Hakujin" (嵐脚　"ネジ白刃) - Literally Rankyaku "white screw blade". Used by Kaku in his half-giraffe form. He does a normal Rankyaku after using his kyoku bigan, then twists his neck into a screw so the Rankyaku spins in a drill motion.
Rankyaku "Roudan" (嵐脚　"龍断" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "dragon tooth". Used by Kaku in his half-giraffe form. Kaku uses an upward Rankyaku with both of his back legs, creating a large cut similar in appearance to a dragon's fang.
Rankyaku "Shuriken" (嵐脚　"手裏剣" wink - Used by Kaku. Kaku fires multiple Rankyaku blades in the shape of shuriken.
Rankyaku "Korou" (嵐脚　"孤狼" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "lonely wolf". Used by Jyabura in his half-wolf form. In this attack, the Rankyaku-cut skips across the ground, bouncing in curves towards the opponent.
Rankyaku "Lupus Four" (嵐脚　"群狼連星" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "four wolves" (kanji read group of wolf-stars). Used by Jyabura in his half-wolf form. In this attack, Jyabura shoots four Rankyaku cuts, each in the shape of a wolf, straight at the opponent. Because of their strange shapes, these Rankyaku seem to explode rather than cut. Jyabura has honed this technique so he is able to initiate it correspondingly with geppou.
Rankyaku "Renge" (嵐脚 "蓮華" wink - Literally, Rankyaku "lotus blossom". Used by Kumadori. In this attack, Rankyaku is performed with both legs, causing two cuts, one on either side of the opponent. A similar version was used by Kaku, but it was unnamed.

[edit] Shigan
Shigan (指銃) - Literally, finger gun. A technique in which the user pushes their finger into a certain target at very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound, making guns unnecessary. A sharp point is added to this technique when Lucci and Jyabura morph into their half-beast forms, enabling the use of their claws. So far, it seems each CP9 member has their own version of shigan, aside from Blueno, Spandam, & Nero, the last two not even knowing how to use the technique. It is presumably the fifth form of Rokushiki.

Variations:

Shigan "Ouren" (指銃　"黄蓮" wink - Literally, Shigan "yellow lotus". Used by Lucci. This attack is simply a rapid-fire version of the normal Shigan technique.
Tobu Shigan "Bachi" (指銃　"撥" wink - Literally, Flying Shigan "plectrum". Used by Lucci in his half-leopard form. A projectile version of Shigan that fires sharp air bullets from the fingers, similar to "Rankyaku" - and are therefore able to pierce Luffy's rubber body.
Tobu Shigan "Mitsubachi" - Literally, Flying Shigan "Three Plectrums". Used by Lucci in his half-leopard form. Same as Shigan "Bachi" except three consecutive bullets. (Anime Only)
Tobu Shigan "Hibachi" - Literally, Flying Shigan "Fire Plectrum". Used by Lucci in his half-leopard form. Same as Shigan "Bachi" only the bullet is on fire and can cause burns making the attack more devastating. The name of this attack is a pun on "hibachi", a kind of Japanese grill. (Anime Only)
Shigan "Madara" (指銃 "斑" wink - Literally, Shigan "spots". Used by Lucci. Looks like ouren, but is performed with both hands and in half-leopard form (meaning that his fingers are clawed), this makes for the ultimate Shigan barrage.
Bigan (鼻銃) - Literally, nose gun. Used by Kaku, in his half-giraffe form. In this attack, Kaku uses his nose instead of his finger to perform the attack. As his nose is much larger in diameter than a finger, the hole it creates is also much larger than that of a normal Shigan, as well as being completely square.
Kyoku Bigan "Kilimanjaro" (極・鼻銃　”麒麟マン射櫓" wink - Literally, extreme Bigan "giraffe-man fire oar", but can also refer to Mount Kilimanjaro, the mountain of the same name. Used by Kaku in half-giraffe form. After using Kiriman Houdai, he can fire his neck out like a cannon, making his Bigan stronger.
Jusshigan (十指銃) - Literally, ten Shigan. Used by Jyabura in his half-wolf form. In this attack, Jyabura puts both of his hands together and performs Shigan with all ten of his clawed fingers at once, greatly damaging the opponent.
Gekkou Jusshigan (月光十指銃) - Literally, moon light ten Shigan. A combination of Jusshigan and Geppou. After using Geppou to get himself into the air and subsequently avoid his foes attack, Jyabura finally uses it to launch himself towards his airborne target in a vertical drop. The added momentum and the vulnerable target makes the following Jusshigan more effective, and harder to avoid.
Shigan Q (指銃 Q) - Used by Kumadori. In this attack, Kumadori uses his blunt staff in the same way a finger is normally used in Shigan. The Q in the name is a reference to a pool cue, which is held in the same manner that Kumadori wields his staff.
Shishi Shigan (獅子指銃）- Literally, lion Shigan. Used by Kumadori. Rather than using his own fingers, Kumadori shapes his hair into the form of a very high amount of hands and repeatedly uses the fingers of said hands to rapidly jab the opponent.
Jugon (獣厳) - Literally, stern beast. Used by Fukurou, this is a very strong punch which is done at the same speed as Shigan, making it even more powerful.
Jugon Ougi "Fukurou Dataki" (獣厳奥義　"梟叩き" wink - Literally, Jugon secret attack "Owl Strike". A rapid-fire version of Jugon, in which Fukurou unleashes a flurry of punches at the enemy while using Soru to move around him, in order to strike from all directions. It should be noted that the Japanese name of this attack is also a pun on the phrase "ganging up" which is what the copies of Fukurou look like they are doing.
Shinaru Shigan "Whip" (しなる指銃　"鞭" wink - Literally, bending Shigan "whip". Used by Kalifa. In this attack, Kalifa pulls back her arm as if to use a normal Shigan attack, then whips her arm out at the opponent at high speed, causing her arm to appear as if it is bending like a whip would, and hits the enemy with her finger. The whip aspect of this variation results in the added effect of the target being thrown forcibly backwards.

[edit] Tekkai
Tekkai (鉄塊) - Literally, iron mass. A technique in which the user hardens his or her muscles to be as hard as iron in order to nullify damage taken from attacks. However, it can be broken by strong enough forces. The strength of Tekkai can vary for users with different physical conditions, as a person with a higher level of muscular strength would be able to take stronger forces with his use of Tekkai. However, despite the density that one gains by using this technique, one should remember that the user's body is still flesh and blood, making it as vulnerable as ever to non-solid attacks. An example of this is when Sanji used the burning force of friction to burn through Tekkai during his fight with Jyabura. Hence, even masters of Tekkai are far from indestructible. It is presumed to be the sixth and last form of Rokushiki. Out of all the members of CP9, Jyabura is shown to have what seems to be complete mastery over this technique. It is revealed that he has honed his mastery over tekkai to the point where he can move while its activated, something no other CP9 member has been able to do.

Variations:

Tekkai "Utsugi" (鉄塊　"空木" wink - Literally, Tekkai "empty tree". Used by Lucci. This form of Tekkai is used entirely as a counter, where the purpose isn't to absorb damage from the attack, but to transfer the shock of the attack back to the attacker, which can lead to broken bones in a normal human body.
Tekkai "Mushikaku" (鉄塊　"無死角" wink - Literally, Tekkai "no weak spots". Used by Kaku in his half-giraffe form. Kaku bends his neck and legs to shift himself into a cube. When Tekkai is used in this form, he eliminates the weakpoints of his body, particularly his neck, and ensures that not a single spot is vulnerable to his following Kiri Shigure.
Tekkai Kenpou (鉄塊拳法) - Used by Jyabura. Using Tekkai Kenpou, Jyabura is able to move while using Tekkai. Tekkai Kenpo is also an entire fighting style, with various techniques of its own.
Tekkai Kenpou "Ookami Hajiki" (Wolf Bullet) - Jyabura hardens both of his hands with Tekkai before punching his opponent.
Tekkai Kenpou "Rouga no Kamae" (Wolf-Fang Stance) - Simply one of the fighting forms used by Jyabura for his Tekkai Kenpou.
Tekkai Kenpou "Rouba no Kamae" (Wolf-Banana Stance) - A Tekkai Kenpou fighting form that combines Jyabura's usual Tekkai Kenpou abilities with Soru speed.
Roukaru Area Network (Wolf-Hunt Area Network) - Jyabura runs around his opponent using Soru's speed while slashing them with his claws, creating an illusion of several phantom hands attacking them. This attack's name is a Japanese homonym of "local area network."
Tekkai Kenpou "Don Pou Rou" (Heavy-Walking Wolf) - Jyabura makes his hand into a fist, hardens it with Tekkai, and punches his opponent.
Tekkai Kenpou "Maten Rou" (Devil-Heaven Wolf) - Jyabura crouches before flipping onto his hands, hardening both legs with Tekkai, and kicking his opponent into the air. In the anime this attack was instead depicted as a jumping kick. This attack's name is a Japanese homonym of "Matenrou" (Skyscraper).
Tekkai "Gou" (鉄塊　"剛" wink - Literally, Tekkai "strength". Used by Blueno and Kumadori. Visually, the move differs from the ordinary Tekkai in that the user visually tenses his body even further while standing still; the ordinary Tekkai could be activated seamlessly. According to Blueno, it is his most powerful form of Tekkai.
Tekkai "Rin" (鉄塊　"輪" wink - Literally, Tekkai "wheel". Used by Blueno. Blueno uses tekkai and kicks one leg into the ground and starts rotating his legs at a fast speed, causing his legs to simultaneously slam into the ground on a set path toward his opponent.
Tekkai "Sai" (鉄塊　"砕" wink - Literally, Tekkai "smash". Used by Blueno. After launching himself into the air with Geppou, Blueno kicks back towards the ground, and hardens his fist with Tekkai, which he drives into the ground for massive area damage.

[edit] Other
Rokushiki Ougi: Rokuougan (六式奥義　六王銃) - Literally, rokushiki ultimate attack: six king gun. Used by Lucci while in Kami-E Bushin form. This is an ultimate rokushiki technique that can damage an opponent internally, similar to the Impact Dial, but the technique is considered much more powerful, and can be performed without the side effect of great pain to the user. This technique and the way it is performed resembles Bruce Lee's One Inch technique. It seems one must have to master every technique of Rokushiki up to their highest state to be able to use this.
Sai Dai Rin: Rokuougan (最大輪　六王銃) - Literally, the largest ring: six king gun. Used by Lucci in his hybrid form, this technique is used the same as Rokuougan, except now with a larger attack radius - it seems Lucci doesn't even have to touch his opponent.
