What's four minus two? In this case that would be zero.
Nero is the newest member of CP9, bur apparently his training was rushed as he only knows four of the Six Forms: Rankyaku, Soru, Geppou, and Kami-e. He was first seen on the Sea Express to guard Nico Robin, and ended up in a bit of pickle with his own superiors, in the final bit of his appearance.
Having mastered the agility-based forms of Rokushiki, Nero is quite adept at launching and avoiding attacks of all sorts. The primary problem is that he hasn't mastered the two key forms that make a CP9er superhuman, namely Shigan and Tekkai, so he isn't as effective as normal Cipher Pol Niners are.
Nero's Past
He appears in five chapters (semi)-prominently, and you expect a past? Fooey on you! We know more about Boodle's past than we do about Nero's.
