Duck Halberd

The Duck Halberd (ダックハルバード, Dakkuharubādo) is a type of weapon used by warriors of the Duck Clan.

Information

The Duck Halberd is a unique weapon, wielded by the Duck Clan in battle. It is a variant of the halberd, a combination of spear and axe that pierces the target using the target's own inertia and slices downwards with centrifugal force. Part of the axe blade is usually designed to resemble a fish or a squid, representing their home. As such, the weapon represents the Duck Clan's pride and hope for peace, more so than being a simple tool for warfare.^[1]

Sgt. Joe and Wilder had duck halberds suited for slashing, whereas Rhett's was more suitable for bludgeoning. Sgt. Joe was considered a master of the Duck Halberd. Sgt. Joe and Rhett had fish-shaped halberds, while Wilder's was squid shaped, with the head used to hook enemy weapons.^[2]
