Concerning the events that led Dran to enter the Grand Line...

It would be a few days after Dran had parted ways with Sasaki before he finally returned to East Blue.

Perhaps the main reason for his return was the massacre of the Ventaris family. According to the news article which told Dran about this, which itself was based on testimonies from a few surviving servants, as well as an ongoing investigation, the entire family had been attacked at dinner by a large party of assassins. The Ventaris household had fought back, taking a number of the assassins with them, but in the end every member of the family had been killed. There was one family member whose corpse hadn't been found among the dead, but she had disappeared several weeks before the attack. Rumour had it that she had eloped with one of the household's maids.

Dran had considered visiting the Ventaris estate to see if there were any valuables that he could loot, but before he could do so, a group of mountain bandits pillaged the estate of everything that hadn't already been sold off; since the family no longer had anyone who could legally inherit their goods, they became the property of the government. Dran figured that he'd just have to settle with not having to worry about Aventis Ventaris coming after him anymore. Part of him had thought about investigating who had gone to the trouble and expense of hiring a small army of assassins to wipe out the Ventaris family, but he ultimately decided to let the authorities handle it. After all, it wasn't as if he had any desire to avenge the Ventaris family.

Shortly after he'd returned to East Blue, he'd also found that Riddle's syndicate had also stopped pursuing him, although unlike with the Ventaris family, he had no reason as to why this was the case. Perhaps they had other things on their plate, or Riddle had simply lost interest in him. In any case, Dran wasn't going to complain.

He'd returned to Khuzon - the civil war having wound down - and had started to eke out a living with his best skill - fighting. He began attending a fight club in a seedy part of the city, and before long he was drawing crowds and making a fair bit of profit. He figured that if he kept at it, he'd eventually have enough money to start putting together his own pirate crew, and once he had enough wealth and power, the possibilities would be endless.

Instead, he had decided to join a pirate crew about to set off for the Grand Line. Their ship, a dolphin class vessel with the ironic name of Utterly Invincible, had survived the trip up and down Red Mountain, only to be decimated by a very nasty storm. As far as Dran knew, he was the only survivor. He was drifting through the sea aboard one of the ship's lifeboats when a merchant vessel on its way to Cactus Island saw him and picked him up.

He had said thanks and goodbye to the captain and crew when they got to Weeping Summit, and they in turn had advised him not to stay on the island for too long. It wasn't too long before he found himself agreeing with that sentiment: the people of the city were obsessed with mourning the many people who had been buried on the island, and had more or less roped Dran into joining them on more than one occasion. Dran had gone along with it only because it seemed like some kind of formality, and before long he had decided to travel to Whiskey Peak.

From what he had heard, the place was untouched by the priests who ran the rest of this island, and frequented by pirates. Subsequently, it sounded like the ideal place for him to find another crew to join, or start forming his own...

Kuroda was also hanging out in Whiskey Peak and stuff. Kuroda had a wee bit of ruff and tumble when he arrived apon the island when he decided to go meet up with the Beast Blood's for a bit but he then decided that it was best to focus on his own story too so he spread his lovely crew of Brofist across the town as he waited by a nearby cafe he used to visit when he was little and waited for his buddy Jay to show up eventually after everyone arrived their. The make shift ship that they left Reverse mountain on had arrived at the docks and the men who came with them from their were spreading some of the loot and supplies that they had found around the home town of their captain as to celebrate him coming home. Kuroda really did care about people and he really didn't mean anyone any harm usually all he wanted to do was make his way from place to place and try and raise money for his ship cafe where he could sell his booze and peri peri chicken steaks to the people of the world. Though inevitably through almost birth right he had predesigned a path towards piracy by accident and grown in infamy throughout the land of South Blue the people of his home town knew he was a good boy at heart and didn't believe all the nasty rumors that they had heard about him and decided it was best if they see him in person.

Kuroda asked if there was anything he might of missed before leaving the island and they said that his old crew's ship had happened to have sailed back there through members of his old crew and some of them had taken refuge in his and his father's old home atop the peak, Kuroda spread the word that Brofist was looking for new members so anyone apon the island would know where to find him except obviously the marines who also had known the boy since he was a kid so they didnt really mind him being nice to everyone and minding his own buisness as trying to arrest him would only end up in trouble. He sat there sipping tea outside the cafe looking about waiting for people to show, Jay or maybe even someone new. Andjoo sitting by his side chilling and stuff.

As Dran came into the inn's bar from the room he had rented there for last night, the first thing he noticed was a newspaper lying on one of the tables. Sitting down at the table, he opened the paper and read through it. It never hurt to keep up to date on what was going on in the world.

He had just gotten to the bounty listings, when something on the page caught his attention.

Newspaper - Bounty Listings
 
Tatsuo Sasaki - Bounty: 20,000,000 Beli
Wanted for the murders of security personnel employed by Plato Camillus, the kidnapping of Fadia Floriana, several civilian murders and organization of a cult mass suicide.

Dran Morgan - Bounty: 15,000,000 Beli
Wanted for associations with Tatsuo Sasaki


A bounty! It would seem that his actions on Gunsmoke Island had begun to catch up with him. Dran thought about what this would mean for him. On the one hand, he was now an official criminal, and both the marines and bounty hunters had the right to try and take him down. On the other hand, having a bounty would help with both convincing people to sail under him, and convincing a pirate captain to take him into his crew.

The sound of approaching footsteps took his mind out of the bounty listings. Slowly turning to the next page, lest he reveal that he was a wanted criminal, he looked up to see the barmaid walking towards him, no doubt wanting to know if there was anything he wanted to drink.

"Just a bottle of whiskey, please." he said; He wasn't a big fan of alcohol, but he considered it common courtesy, if you entered a bar with the sole intent of finding information, to order at least one drink there. "Also, do you know if there are any pirates here looking to join a crew?"

"I'll get you your drink, then we'll talk." the barmaid replied. She left him, before returning a few seconds later with a small bottle of whiskey and a shot glass. Before drinking anything from the bottle, Dran checked to see if it had been opened beforehand. Back on Khuzon, it was a fairly common trick for bartenders to add sedatives to the drinks of pirates, wait for the victim to "pass out from drunkenness", cart them off to the nearest marine base and return to the bar with a bounty. This bottle however, was unopened, and so Dran poured himself a shot, and downed it.

Shaking his head slightly in response to the alcohol's taste, Dran turned towards the barmaid, who had drawn up a seat and sat down next to him. She leaned close to him and said "There's a crew that calls itself "Brofist" on this island right now, and they've been sending out word that they're looking for new members. If you're interested in that for whatever reason, I can tell you where one of their members is waiting."

And so Dran finished off the bottle of whiskey, left the bar, and headed towards the cafe the barmaid had told him about. On the way, he noticed a number of other individuals heading in the same direction as him. There was a tall and muscular man sporting tattoos across the right side of his bald head. A young woman with scruffy black hair and what looked like a giant meat cleaver strapped to her back. Another tall man, this one slim and with some kind of large purple cobra coiled loosely around his body. Were these people also looking to join the Brofists?

The four of them made it to the cafe, where they saw a man wearing a purple coat outside, drinking some tea. Was this Brofist's representative? As if wondering this himself, the man with the snake walked forward and said "I've heard that the Brofists are looking for new members. Would you happen to be a representative of theirs?".

Sitting at the side of the cafe and looking up at the young man in front of him he took a long drag of his tobacco roll up cigarette as he leaned back and stretched his arms out too full length as his hand flew from his left wrist and floated over too the back rest of the seat across from him as his hand clamped down on the chair and pulled the chair a few feet away as the man with tattoos sat down across from him as he grunted with a mucus filled breath before spitting on the ground and flexing his flutes and pecs as he showed his narly teeth and leaned back trying to look cool and suave.

"What are your ambitions?"
"Treasure and booty!"
"Do you have any tattoo or tank top powers?
"What?"
"Next!"

The drunken strange one eyed vagabond weirdo was calling the shots. Was he the one called Muzashi Kuroda? The people whom had came seemed almost nervous. Kuroda smashed fifteen men at least at the. Pub recently but he looked so harmless? Was he really the one with the epiphet as dark as Black Reaper? He was drinking... Why are the marines not here? The girl sat across from him and stared him down with a look of death similar to the look that all women he has ever met in his life usually gave him most of the time. The look of shame of wasting their time really with being in touching distance of the raggedy man.

"Are your here to cool me quickly or slowly with responsibility?"
"What?"
"I need you to go before I make you pregnant."

The woman grasped a glass of wine on the table and splashed it over him and his hair leaving him wet and looking like a dog. He dried himself off like a dog shaking his head violently. He then stopped and looked over at the dude with the cobra and then back to his scarlet red and white Python and back too him once more.

"Go away."

The man left upset as Kuroda looked over at Dran as his floating hand motioned towards him to sit.

"Fancy a drink? Take a seat...you look like I've at least seen you before now tell me how wasting my time left on this planet with you will be worth it more than the rest....Just tell me you won't hold me back."

He played with a bottle of wine on the table.

It was beginning to occur to Dran that this might have been a mistake.

Kuroda had established himself among the most eccentric pirates on the Grand Line within the last few seconds. He'd dismissed the muscular man almost immediately for some nonsensical reason. He'd done the same with the woman after apparently trying to make a pass at her. He flat out told the man with the snake to go away, before motioning for Dran to sit down at the table. A rather bemused Dran did so, half-expecting to be rejected within the next few seconds. While still debating internally on whether or not this would be a good thing, he decided to quickly recount his past adventures, in the hope of impressing Kuroda.

"Well, I managed to lead an escape of about fifty slaves from an island in East Blue. After that I was captured by some corrupt marines in an incident I'd rather not talk about, and handed over to one of the former owners of the slaves, who happened to be in charge of a large crime syndicate in East Blue. After a few days I managed to escape his clutches, and spent the next few days escaping attempts on my life from both him, and a family of nobles from the Kingdom of Goa. I made my way to Gunsmoke Island, where I got myself involved somewhat in a massacre and kidnapping, for which I earned myself a bounty of 15,000,000 beli. After that I joined a pirate crew heading for the Grand Line, but our ship got destroyed after we came down from Red Mountain. I managed to make it to this island in one of the lifeboats, and, well, here I am."

"Oh, and I should probably warn you, but that last guy you rejected? His snake's right behind you and it's about to try and bite your neck."

This was true. While Dran had been talking, the giant cobra had slithered underneath the table, and was now rearing up behind Kuroda, mouth open. As the cafe's patrons and staff watched with alarm, it lunged.

" So you've been involved in a little bit of class warfare in your time and that's why you want to be a pirate? How good are you at bench pressing a ship?"

Kuroda looked over at him with a vacant stare whilst picking his nose, it would seem the years of alcohol and drug abuse had made this man bad at keeping focus on people's back stories...well he is one of the will of D. The massive snake opened it's mouth wide and launched itself at Kuroda when all of a sudden a massive shadow dime the sky over the cafe table they were sitting at and it engulfed both Kuroda and the snake with a loud gulping sound and a smack of the lips. Andjoo's had decided that if the snake wash gonna tatanka his best buddy he might as well eat it. The large scarlet red and whiten snake which was hanging out with Kuroda had eaten both the snake and Kuroda. You can see that Kuroda is not dead and is rapidly squirming inside the stomach of the massive snake like he's in a bag but he seemed kind of used too it as well.

"Fjfjiddmfhduuhfjdjfjjdnfjdnfjdj"

Andjoo's spat out Kuroda whole but unfortunately not the snake or the chair he was sitting on. Kuroda got up and looked over at Dran and sighed as he wrapped his arm around the young man's shoulders as he smiled.

"I am not gonna mess with you, I might of crashed my ship and left a log pose here. I am gonna need someone not weak as shit to help me push that shit out to sea with the crew whilst I go grab that log pose from my dad's house and then I'm gonna try fixing that baby up enough so that we can get on the move. We are running on limited time here because we are both wanted men and some people like me here some people hate me what can you do...but because of that things might go tits up if you know what I mean now do you have the Cossacks to do the job squire?"

Kuroda stood their explaining the situation for sometime as he decided maybe this guy ain't that bad. He seemed friendly enough. He walked away from him letting him go as he ran over too Andjoo's and tried to kick him in the snout for tying to eat him again but failed and missed by a clear shot because Andjoo was fast enough to slither away coast enough. Kuroda turned too the young man and awaited for his answer as he folded his arms.

Before Dran could come up with an answer to Kuroda's question, both Kuroda, his chair and the snake were swallowed by the giant red and black python that had been accompanying the pirate. As a somewhat bewildered Dran watched, a Kuroda-shaped bulge in the snake began pulsating wildly for a few seconds, before the man was spat back out by the abnormally large serpent. The chair and the other snake didn't come out with him.

Acting as though being swallowed alive by a giant python was a mere day-to-day inconvenience, Kuroda put his arm around Dran, who tried to avoid reacting to the snake saliva covering the other man, before explaining the situation. Dran took a few seconds to consider what he'd heard. The idea that they'd have to leave soon wasn't one that surprised him, considering that they were both wanted men. And the guy was willing to let him join his crew! Of course, he seemed to ask a fair bit of them, but he was also coming off as quite friendly, if a tad insane.

"Sasaki was madder." Dran muttered to himself, before turning to address Kuroda. "Well, bench-pressing ships isn't a form of exercise I've considered before, but I'll go and see what I can do."

Before Dran could ask where the ship was, he suddenly sensed danger, in the same way a gazelle suddenly realises a cheetah is about to come charging at it. He turned around just in time to grab a knife that had been about to fly into Kuroda's throat, having been thrown by the late cobra's very angry looking owner.

"Look buddy," Dran said, "I know it's not nice to lose your pet like that, but it did just try to kill the other guy. I'm sure if you just leave, there won't be any more problems."

The other man responded by drawing another knife and charging towards Kuroda, roaring with anger. With a sigh, Dran stepped forward, and once the snake man had come close enough, punched him hard in the stomach, sending him flying backwards. He landed on the street, rolled a few meters, and didn't get up, becoming preoccupied with clutching his abdomen. Once certain that he would no longer be a threat, Dran turned back to Kuroda.

"So where's the ship, captain?"

"Well, it's reported to have crashed into an alcove under my home which is located at the top of Whiskey Peak. Just go with the majority of my men and keep them align, I don't want them causing a fuss so make sure to keep an eye on them as they have a tendency to fool around. After arriving there I want you to start immediately pushing this thing out to sea as soon as. It's around an Orca's level in size so you might need a little assistance so I've prepared Andjoo for going with you and..."

Kuroda split his hands from his wrists as he spoke and placed them into Drav's. He then smirked as he folded his fore arms over each other like he would normally.

"I want you to pinch my hands when you arrive and place them against the side of the ship and I'll help you out with the pushing since I am probably the only one here that can bench press a building. Dont try and steal those by the way...or I will have to bury you under the sands."

He spoke his plan with much confidence and esteem in it. He turned his back towards Drav and turned his head back and smiled at him as he started skipping off to the peak of Whiskey Peak with much gusto.

"I'll meet you in a few minutes, I need to get my dad's old logpose so we can skip Dinosaur land and get straight to christmas town."

Kuroda suddenly disappeared as the word "Soru" echoed through the ears of the young Drav and in an instant he was no more. It would seem he was capable of moving faster than the speed of light for more than a couple of seconds. Andjoo sat their coiled up as he gave Drav a menacing stare that would be sure not to put him at ease of spending time alone with this snake. Suddenly a few dozen men appeared at the meeting point waiting for orders from their new commanding officer in what they should do. Ready for Drav to lead them to Black Betty herself.

"Er, what's going on here?" Dran asked, holding up the pair of hands - Kuroda's hands - that his new captain had given him.

"The captain ate the Bara-Bara no mi. He can detach parts of his body and control them at will. And it's impossible for him to be hurt by bladed weapons." said a member of Kuroda's crew.

"Right." Dran replied. He'd heard of Devil Fruits before; disgusting pieces of fruit that, while rendering the first person who bit them unable to swim, granted them some form of superhuman power. He soon decided to pocket the hands, figuring that carrying a pair of disembodied body parts around would draw unwanted attention.

"Well, I guess we'd better try and find the ship and see if we can get it moving. You guys with me?"

The crew's responses were a few nods, shrugs and small noises of acquiescence. Dran wasn't too surprised at this, figuring that the crew were bound to be a bit miffed after being told that they were to accept some guy they'd only just met as their superior. He got the feeling that they were only deferring to him because their captain wanted them to go and get the ship moving.

Deciding that he'd just have to wait for an opportunity to prove himself, Dran set off for the top of Whiskey Peak, the men Kuroda had lent him following along. He figured that once they got to their destination, it wouldn't be much trouble finding the ship at least.

They set off towards the highest point of Whiskey Peak, Dran figuring that they'd be able to find Black Betty easily enough when they got there, although getting it out to sea might be another matter entirely. According to Kuroda, he had crashed the ship, and Dran wasn't exactly sure what he meant by that. Had the ship run aground? Had he accidentally sailed it into some rocks? Whatever had happened, Kuroda seemed to think that it would require a lot of effort to fix.

Once they came to their destination, they started asking around for the location of Black Betty. Although they got a number of curious looks from the locals as a result of Andjoo's presence and the group's size, they were soon able to figure out where Kuroda had "docked" the ship in question.

"Now, how are we going to get this thing out to sea?" Dran wondered.

The ship was in perfect condition balanced on top of a wee rock berg, It was leaning against a bigger rock. To park an Orca like ship like this with such perfect accuracy is very uncommon and too be honest almost impossible and I am sure if you actually asked Kuroda how he had done such a thing by himself when his crew abandoned him he would not even be able to tell you how he did it if you asked him. The tide was coming in and the wet sand was causing the men to sink into the sand as they approached the side of the ship. They seemed like they had difficulty moving in the terrain and it would be difficult to push the ship whilst they were losing their footing next to the ship. With the amount of men and Kuroda's "super strength" as such, and that mad carnivorous snake cannibal perhaps it will be alright. Andjoo seemed like he was adapting to the terrain well and he was ready for Dran to make a plan. They had some rope and some other sailing shit they could use to pull it n stuff but they would need to deck the ship and make a move.

A shadow stood at the tip of the ship and looked down towards Dran with a smirk. He was polishing and sharpening two swords with each of the blades as he held the blades up too the sun as the shine blinded the eyes of the men before the shaded mysterious man.

"He thinks he still owns this."

The man stands tall up in front of the sunlight raining down on the men. With one defiant leap he jumps from the ship and falls down to the side of the ship waiting for Dran to approach holding the hilts of the blades tightly in his hands as he looked over at the men. He whistles as suddenly the sand begins too part as something under it rockets under the man's feet. He looks over at Dran. The guy had long ginger hair and a long lanky figure, he was wearing a white tanktop and some camos with some black steel toe cap boots.

"You'll have too go through me."

Was this the reason he picked Dran?

----------------

Kuroda was suffering from other problems because he had found the log pose wristwatch in his room, tons of nostalgia and shit. His dad was not there though and like the place was a wreck, unlivable in rustic, kinda victorian era looking almost. The place was a piece of shit now, probably infested with vermin. Kuroda was trying desperately to a fix the log pose to himself without the use of any hands and he was having a lot of problems with that as you can imagine.

The ship was balancing on a rock in the middle of the sand, while leaning against another, larger, rock. The crew looked at Dran, wondering if he had any idea on how to get it back out to sea.

Dran considered his options. Judging from the wet sand all around, the place was currently at low tide. The ship looked undamaged, so if they waited for the tide to come in, they might be able to just sail it out to sea. If the tide ever got high enough for that, it would certainly explain how Kuroda had managed to get the ship here in the first place.

Before Dran could say anything however, one of the crewmen hollered "Hey! There's someone on the ship!" Dran turned to look in the direction he was indicating, and sure enough, there was a man standing there, silhouetted by the sun, with a sword in each hand..

As the crewmen whispered among themselves, the subject of their conversation jumped, landing between them and the ship. Tightly gripping his swords, he made it clear that he wasn't going to let them take the ship without a fight. In response, Dran sighed, before cracking his knuckles.

"Well, you're obviously not going to stand down any time soon, so it doesn't seem like I have much choice in the matter." he said, as he started walking parallel to his opponent, slowly circling him, and awaiting his attack.

But what was that thing that was moving underneath the sand? Whatever it was, his foe seemed to have some level of control over it...

"Do be it please realise the folly of your actions."

The shift movement under the sands suddenly made its way too the feet of the man as he seemed to secure his footin on whatever that he was standing on. Suddenly he began to skid across the ground after he snapped his fingers causing him to rush Dran with tremendous gusto and velocity due to him carefully keeping out the range of the boy trapped in wet sand when he shot toward the other men of the Bro fast pirates and began slashing the shit ou of every one of them like it was no business them falling like flies to the man and before Dran realised at least 5 were dead. They fell to the ground as several of them lay their dead or injured the rest sent running like little babies as the man began laughing meniacly like some evil villain.

" How fucking dare he forget all the men we lost that fateful night when we lost our dreams. All our friends died. Does he really think that he can go into the Grand line again and destroy another bunch of men!"

He seemed angry, he was not gonna let Dran leave. Thankfully Kuroda was on his way holding his log pose in his teeth. I mean Dran is taking ages to pinch his hands hands and stuff. The swordsman man was continuing to circle Dran and looked like he meant to kill cunts. Andjoo's was ready to help the dude he was with though since like he wasnt a massive shitebag and didn't decide to abandon the boy ski and moved under the sand and began to allow him to glide around the sand and shit too cause he travels faster through it and stuff. Dran was gonna have to act fast though or he was gonna have all those men's death's in their nightmares for years and shit.

Dran had started running towards the red-haired man as soon as he started cutting down the crewmen, knowing that if he didn't bring him down soon, they'd have to sail with a skeleton crew.

As he ran, he suddenly felt the ground move below him, and then found himself moving forward at high speed. Looking down, he saw that Kuroda's snake had come up from under the sand right underneath him, apparently willing to offer his aid in moving through the wet sand. It would certainly enable him to keep up with his foe, Dran thought.

The snake came to a stop a few meters away from the swordsman, as if waiting for orders from Dran. The so-called Pirate of Justice didn't try to attack just yet, instead grinning, and calling out "My name is Dran Morgan. Would you mind telling me your name?" He waited for his foe's answer, or lack of, before taking his next action.

"Charge right past him." Dran instructed the snake. The snake shot through the sand, heading slightly to the left of the swordsman, leaving Dran struggling momentarily to try and keep his balance. He recovered just in time however, and once he got in range, he quickly spun round counter-clockwise, while extending his left leg in a spinning heel kick aimed at his opponent's abdomen. He was counting on the snake's speed to add additional power to the blow.

Tech used

Maelstrom (Advanced) (8*)
Type: Offensive
Range: Melee
Stats: N/A
Description: Branched from Maelstrom. Dran spins round 360 degrees in order to build up momentum, and throws a strong kick at either his opponent's head or chest section, that can send them flying to the side if it connects. With the increase in rank, this technique now hits a lot harder than it did previously.

He stood their stoic and gallant looking when he seen Dran rushing towards him as he felt the strike in the gut he flew back a few metres. Then he flew back a good distance as he was knocked off his transportation. A thin white and yellow patterned long thin snake appeared. Andjoo's was absolutely gubbed and didn't know how to react. It was his old friend Kerri but now he was against him! It had been like a very long time and he had a sudden rush of nostalgia all of a sudden n stuff. Dran's perfectly coordinated attack was surely gonna show that he is not too be messed with.

"My name is Flint steel and I'm gonna kill you so that bastard knows he should never sail again!"

Dran seemed like Kerri moved up next against Flint as she wrapped around his arm. He placed his sword's hilt in Kerri's mouth then swung his arm as Kerri and the blade in her mouth came flying towards Dran whilst still attached to Flint's wrist. Kuroda was having trouble with a few doors in his house when he was leaving his old house due too his lack of hands, he could feel the cool sea breeze on them even though he was a bit away from them. It was gonna take at least awhile longer for Kuroda to reunite with Dran and help fight Flint n stuff because of the man's own massive incompetence with most things in terms of sense of direction and motor skills. I mean he had already had at least so few drinks last night and this morning so you can't really blame him. His long ranged melee assault was sure to be hard to dodge due to Kerri's intense speed. Andjoo's was kind of in shock from seeing his old friend so he kinda bucked Dran of too try and save him from being slashed as well as because his back was hurting now.

The redhead - whose name was Flint Steel - was unable to avoid Dran's kick, and was sent flying back several meters. Another snake, this one much like the python that had accompanied both Kuroda and Dran, aside from its colour scheme.

For whatever reason, the red and black snake suddenly looked nervous upon seeing the newcomer. Dran quickly tried to figure out what the reason for this might be. Was it fear? Or did these two serpents know each other?

Flint and his own snake then attempted their own combination attack. Dran prepared to dodge it, knowing that his timing would mean everything; move too early, and if the option was open to them, his foes would have time to change the direction of their attack and still have a chance of hitting him. Move too late, however, and he'd be cut down before he could get out of the way. He got ready to move...and then Kuroda's snake abruptly bucked him off.

Now Dran found himself on all-fours, with Flint's sword hurtling towards him. He managed to awkwardly roll out of the way, but Flint was several meters away from him by the time he could get back to his feet. Hoping to press whatever advantage he might have, he ran towards Flint, swinging his right fist in a straight punch that, if it connected, would send the red-haired swordsman flying.
