Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Haki: There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busoshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haoshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. Vergo is not one of these people.
- Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): A form of Haki that allows the user to create an "invisible armor" around themselves. With that, they can protect themselves from attacks, and if trained well, use it to deliver stronger attacks. It is the only form of attack that doesn't involve Kairouseki that can hit any Devil Fruit user, being able to hit the user's original body even if it's a Logia user. It can also be used in weapons.
- Busoshoku: Koka (Color of Armaments: Hardening): Vergo uses Busōshoku Haki to drastically harden parts of his body (typically his fists). Basically, whereas basic Busoshoku Haki surrounds the user's body with a hard armor, Koka hardens the body itself, giving a larger increase in attack power. Vergo is able to use Busoshoku Koka to harden his entire body simultaneously, leaving no weak points to attack.

- Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation or Mantra): A form of Haki that allows the user to sense the presence of his opponents. A user of this type of Haki can predict an opponent's moves before he gets hit. This works by showing the user an image or brief "premonition" of what the opponent will do, manifested as a mental image in the user's mind's eye, and the damage the user will take if the attack "hit" for real. It appears that the more killer intent the enemy has the easier they are to predict, though more efficient users can predict future moves regardless of whether there are ambient murderous intents or not. Including the distance, location, and where the opponent may strike next.
- Oni Take ("Demon Bamboo"): The source of his nickname, Vergo uses Busoshoku to harden his bamboo stick, and then strikes down his foe. The force of the blow also sends out a powerful air blast.
- Rokushiki: A special, superhuman martial arts style used primarily by members of Cipher Pol #9. It consists of six special techniques, Kami-e, Geppou, Rankyaku, Shigan, Soru, Tekkai. Vergo is able to use at least four of the techniques.
- Geppou: Allows Vergo to kick the air itself to propel himself through the sky like flying.
- Shigan: Vergo stabs an opponent with his finger, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound.
- Soru: By kicking the ground at least 10 times in the blink of an eye, Vergo propels himself across short distances at enhanced speeds.
- Tekkai: The user hardens their skin to the strength of iron or more to help block attacks.
