And he circles the monster, missing the part about rookies (which he meant more about Law at the time) and quickly darts in to get close, using talons on his legs to try to catch the blade against his scales, as he typically does with swords in his world. Only this causes a quick hiss of pain and instant hopping backwards and shaking off the pain with blue flames.]
