When he displayed his abilities in the underground pirate lounge, he caught the interest of Gasparde, who invited Shuraiya to join his crew. Also, he can utilize various objects as weapons, as seen when he used a sword during the first fight and then fought Needless using a shovel taken from the boiler room of the Salamander. He is also very good at improvising and planning ahead - in his first fight, he used a table to block bullets, tossed a chair in midair and led an enemy below it to knock him out, and made good use of large chains to disable other enemies. Shuraiya is an agile fighter who wields no default weapon but is capable of thinking quickly and using his surroundings to his advantage. Just like Luffy, he has a 'bottomless stomach' and can consume a large amount of food without any strain or weight increase. Although he appears to have a low opinion of himself due to his work as a bounty hunter, he also seems naturally optimistic, as he is often seen smiling and seems to enjoy fighting. Shuraiya, despite his goals and ambitions, seems to be a rather enthusiastic character.

Sometimes, he will have either one or both of his hands in his pants pockets. This hook is also tattooed on his left cheek in smaller form. The jacket also bears a red hook design on the left breast, with the word 'SICK' under it.

His usual outfit is made up of tall black boots, black cargo pants that reach to mid-shin level, and a bright yellow zippered jacket with black stripes along both arms and a high black collar that he usually keeps zipped up. At times he wears a wide-brimmed black hat. His hair is wavy, light brown, and chin-length, described as a 'natural perm' in design notes.
