GOFF: Raulin takes on all comers!

Raulin laughed as he looked out upon the wide, grassy plain upon which he would be fighting. He wasn't planning on taking off any clothes for this fight: he doubted he had to. In fact, he barely thought weaponry would be needed. Raulin stood with both hands pointed down at a diagonal slant, with iron filaments flowing off of his hands and taking shape in the air around him. He'd finish this guy off with just his Creator's Hands. "Creator's Hands: Ebony Panther!" The iron he had generated took the form of three sleek, metallic panthers. Each panther roared in tandem, their voices more grainy and metallic than a normal panther's. The three cats burst into motion, beginning a circling pattern around Raulin's opponent.

Roko Cloud was standing a considerable number of meters away from Raulin (he doesnt know his name). That man seemed like a dangerous person but he had to take him on, he didnt know if he could bit him, but he had to try. This had to be an awesome brawl where he gave it all.

Roko was being surrounded by the three steel panthers, circling around him. In his shoulder Roko had Tyren, his falcon, and in his back he had the Senaya Broadsword. Roko took it out... it didnt weight much for him, he could use it perfectly.

Roko placed the fire crystal in the broadsword and performed two rankyakus combined with slashing with fire and the fire was taken in direction to Raulin. So two Flare rankyakus were flying towards Raulin.

Raulin tumbled over to the side, avoiding the flaming rankyakus with luckily no damage sustained. After successfully completing his Auto-Parry, Raulin ended up on one knee, at which point he gestured at his opponent with one finger outstretched. He then ordered his panthers to attack his enemy, and they did, each at a 120 degree angle from the others.

Roko saw how his opponent had dodged with apparent ease his flare rankyakus. And now the panthers were going against him, this was bad, VERY bad. He decided to take on two of them while Tyren fought the other one on his own.

"Tyren, attack that panther." -Roko indicated him pointing at the panther on his back. Then he added.-"In your manticore form."

Tyren turned into a manticore and started to go against the steel panther, attempting to push it off with a strong paw slash. Roko stood where the two panthers would meet to attack him and performed a fire hurricane attack, hoping that the panthers would get hit by it as he spinned.

Raulin raised his hands as he stood up, as if to conduct the panthers like a musician would. The one panther that was attacked by the manticore got launched back several yards, causing it to land writhing on its back. The other to panthers were knocked back in a similar manner, but they stayed on their feet. Raulin made a cutting motion with both hands as he said, "Creator's Hands: Anubis Visage!" The three panthers exploded and separated into eight smaller jackals, three of which were rerouting to attack the manticore, while the other five started going after Roko.

Roko saw the two panthers pushed back from him by his attack, turned around for some seconds to discover that Tyren had managed to do the same. But now the panthers had split up when the guy he was battling directed them to. Now things had turned bad, there were five jackals trying to attack him and three more trying to attack Tyren. This was no good, apparently this man could make metal things out of nowhere, it had to be a devil fruit.

Why did they have to be so many??? Fighting one metalic individual would be hard, but facing off so many metal jackals was a real pain in the ass. Now what?- Roko thought, when the jackals were already near him he used his Fire Hurricane technque again, then when he stopped he chose one of them and used his Fireball's Cross technique on him. This would pobably leave it semi-melted and destroyed if it hit.

On his side, Tyren flapped his wings in manticore form and started to fly, he expected that the dogs would come after him, so then he came back and tried to swipe them with a strong tail whip.

The jackal Roko attacked fell apart into six pieces, while the other four moved into a peace sign to mount their next attack. Three of the jackals assaulted Roko from behind, while another attacked him from the front. Due to the fact that Raulin was focusing primarily on fighting Roko, he didn't have time to worry about the other three jackals, which were batted aside and stop moving completely. With only four jackals left to worry about, Raulin conducted them to assault Roko in their prearranged order.

Roko noticed that the attack he used has destroyed one metal jackal, but there were still four of them left. He turned around to see if the jackals in his back were going to attack him, and so they were, so he used an X-Attack on the four jackals together, but he didnt notice the one in his back, which was able to attack him and Roko screamed.

Tyren noticed that he had knocked his opponents down, so he came back to Roko flying in manticore form, he saw that he attacked four jackals but forgot of one in the back. He got attacked by it and Tyren didnt thing before attempting to push him to the ground and biting his head off with his strong jaws.

At this point, all of the jackals had been defeated, leaving their metal carcasses lying in a ellipsoidal shape around Roko and his manticore, causing Raulin to scoff a bit. "Nice job, I guess..." He started taking off his overcoat, grinning from ear to ear, "But I'm just getting started!" He whipped the overcoat off his shoulders, the sweeping motion seeming to provoke a reaction from the jackal carcasses. The metal forming the jackals twisted and morphed into one long, cylindrical piece. As it molded into its final shape, Raulin exclaimed "Creator's Hands: Midnight Serpent!" The iron animal hissed, the sound made more threatening by the metal throat it came from, and it dove for Roko as if to swallow him whole.

Roko saw the giant serpent form before his eyes from the pieces of the jackals. Tyren and Roko were standing side by side. The serpent looked imposing over the two of them, really scary and suddenly he tried to eat Roko in one bite. Roko didnt loose time screaming before defending himself with his sword he just slashed, keeping the serpent from touching him and attempting to push it away.

"Fly up and stay there Tyren, you'll get the signal." -Roko instructed Tyren in a whisper so only he could hear, Tyren flew up high into the sky, lost from sight even from Roko. But becasue of his eagle sight he could look down perfectly, he circled the place up in the sky, waiting for the signal.

Roko then charge at the serpent and used Fireball's Cross towards it.

Raulin lackadaisically gestured for the serpent to move to the side, avoiding the Fireball Cross. He wasn't even serious yet, and this was more to wear Roko down more than anything. The serpent twisted around, circling Roko before it constricted, trying to close the gap between itself and Roko as quickly as possible.

Roko was getting tired of this metalic animal game, he had a great endurance but if this kept going on, he would be very tired when he had to battle the guy himself and not his pets. Roko noticed what his opponents intentions, and decided to use something similar to what he was doing. Before the snake could constrict him, Roko used a Fire Hurricane around him to stop the snake from binding him and attacking it at the same time.

Tyren took this as the signal and started to dive down from the heights, he came from Raulin's back without making any noise and when he was close enough he turned into a manticore in the air and whipped his tail at Raulin at some distance, 5 poisonous spikes flying towards Raulin's back.
