The Soul Cane Blox Fruits is a Rare sword purchased from the Living Skeleton NPC hidden inside the volcano at Magma Village in the First Sea for 750,000 Beli. It features Soul Beam โ a stun beam that can break Instinct on headshot โ and Soul Slashes, a no-knockback multi-hit stun. The no-knockback stun is its defining advantage, keeping enemies locked in place for combo extensions and making it one of the best First Sea combo tools available.

Soul Cane โ Rare First Sea sword from Living Skeleton inside the Magma Village volcano secret room. Soul Beam headshots break Instinct. Zero knockback stun on Soul Slashes.
Secret location โ the Living Skeleton is hidden behind an invisible wall.
Magma Village is located to the west of the Marine Starter Island in the First Sea. It is a lava-themed island with a large volcano structure at its centre. Sail there directly from the starter area.
Run left from the main docks toward the side of the volcano. Look for a portion of the volcano wall that appears slightly darker or different in texture compared to the rest โ this is the invisible wall entrance to the secret room.
Walk directly into the darker section of the volcano wall โ it is a passthrough wall, not a solid surface. You will phase through it into a hidden underground room. Use fast mode or sprint if you are having difficulty finding the exact spot.
The Living Skeleton NPC is inside the secret room. Interact with him and purchase the Soul Cane for exactly 750,000 Beli. No quest required, no level gate โ just have the Beli ready before visiting.
Two moves โ both designed for combo extension, not raw damage.
Fires a thin white projectile beam that explodes a short distance after release. Deals moderate damage and stuns the target for approximately 1.5 seconds. Key advantage: a headshot can break Instinct (Observation Haki) โ rare at this tier. Small hitbox requires accurate aim; the beam is easy to dodge for experienced players.
Rapid-fires a spread of air slashes toward the cursor. Hits multiple times and stuns targets for 2 full seconds with zero knockback. This no-knockback stun is the defining Soul Cane advantage โ enemies stay exactly where they are, allowing fruit or fighting style follow-ups without chasing. Ideal for combo chains and NPC crowd control.
| Move | Key | Stun Duration | Knockback | Special Property |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soul Beam | Z | ~1.5 sec | Minimal | Headshot breaks Instinct |
| Soul Slashes | X | 2 sec | None | Enemies stay in place โ perfect combo window |
Treat it as a combo extender, not a primary damage tool.
Sword Main: Most points into Sword stat for damage scaling. Keep moderate Defense for survivability. Small Melee allocation for energy recovery. Soul Cane scales with Sword โ higher Sword stat directly increases both moves' damage output.
Electric Fruit โ stun rush into Soul Slashes for zero-knockback follow-up. Dark Fruit โ Soul Slashes during Dark's blind window. Dough โ stun combo extended by Soul Slashes no-knockback window. Light โ speed for repositioning between Soul Beam shots.
Electric Claw โ reliable stun opener before Soul Slashes. Superhuman โ instant multi-hit combos in the 2-second stun window. Sanguine Art โ life-steal during the no-knockback stun. Any fast multi-hit style benefits from the 2-second stationary window Soul Slashes creates.
Soul Beam [Z] headshot to break Instinct โ Soul Slashes [X] immediately after to lock in place for 2 seconds โ Electric Claw burst or fruit damage during the stun window. This sequence bypasses Observation Haki and traps the target for sustained follow-up damage.

How it compares to alternatives available at the same stage.
| Sword | Cost | Stun | Knockback | Instinct Break |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soul Cane | 750K Beli | 2 sec (Soul Slashes) | None | Headshot only |
| Saber | Quest + 1 Fruit | Short stun | Moderate | No |
| Yoru | Dealer / Trade | Minimal | High | No |
| Pole (1st Form) | Quest reward | None | Low | No |
Soul Cane is the only First Sea sword with zero-knockback stun โ this is its defining advantage over every other option at this tier. Saber deals more raw damage and Yoru has better M1 range, but neither can lock an enemy in place for a 2-second combo window the way Soul Slashes does. For combo-focused players, Soul Cane is the best First Sea choice regardless of raw damage comparison.
It performs differently in PvE versus player combat.
Soul Slashes [X] is excellent for NPC grinding โ the zero-knockback stun keeps multiple NPCs clumped in place rather than scattering them. For groups of NPCs, activate Soul Slashes and chain M1 hits during the 2-second stun. Significantly faster clear times than swords that knock enemies away.
Requires accurate aiming due to small hitboxes. Soul Beam headshots to break Instinct first, then Soul Slashes to lock the target in place. The combo window is real but both moves miss frequently against fast-dodging players. Best used by players with good aim rather than beginners.
Know when Soul Cane is still the best tool and when to move on.
Still in the First Sea or early Second Sea. No access to better combo swords like Midnight Blade, Canvander, or TTK. Combo-focused build where no-knockback stun outweighs raw damage. Building toward a First Sea bounty hunting setup where the stun control is consistently valuable.
Reaching Second Sea where Midnight Blade (100 Ectoplasm, free) gives better AoE. Access to Canvander which provides Instinct break Soul Cane lacks. Reaching the stage where raw damage scaling matters more than stun control. At that point the upgrade path is clear โ Soul Cane served its role as the best First Sea combo sword. Check our True Triple Katana guide for what comes next.
Soul Cane is a common and affordable sword โ 750K Beli purchase price means it has low trade value. Most players who want one just buy it directly rather than trading for it. Its value comes from utility, not rarity. Keep it for its stun mechanics rather than hoarding it as a trade asset.
The secret room location and the Instinct-breaking Soul Beam headshot make Soul Cane feel more rare than it is. New players often do not know about it and miss out on the best First Sea combo option simply because the hidden entrance is not well-documented. Knowing the location is itself an advantage.
