Kiryu

======

Introduction
Kiryu is the navigator of the Outlaw Pirates. He is also a the crew's resident swordsman.

Appearance
Kiryu is about the same size as Young. His muscular body shows off the results of his extensive martial training, including multiple scars. He keeps his blue-black hair in a topknot. He wears a white samurai gi opened halfway on his upper body. On his lower body, he wears tan pants with a black belt and grey cowboy boots. He prefers to carry his nodachi over his shoulder instead of wearing it at his side. He also wears a log pose on his wrist.

Personality
Kiryu acts in the traditional manner of a samurai. He values loyalty and honor above all else, and he shows no mercy to anyone he considers to be dishonorable. Due to this, Kiryu is fiercely loyal to his captain and crew. When with the crew, Kiryu keeps his serious demeanor, however, he will join in with them during times of revelry.

Swordsmanship
Kiryu is an expert swordsman. He has trained tirelessly to reach skill levels that few swordsmen ever achieve. Combining his sword skills with his speed, he can usually overpower his opponents without much effort.

Physical Strength
While Kiryu does possess enhanced strength, he is not on par with some of the more physically strong members of the crew. This is because he relies more on his speed.

Agility
Kiryu is easily the fastest member of his crew. In most fights, Kiryu finishes his opponents before they can even draw their weapon. This is how he earned the name "Quickdraw".

Endurance
Kiryu's training has given him enhanced endurance. However, his fighting style relies on dodging most attacks, therefore he does not possess the same level of endurance as some of his crewmates.

Weapons
Kiryu's main weapon is the Flash Blade. This is a nodachi that he received from a West Blue merchant selling rare goods from the Grand Line. What makes the blade unique is that it has a Flash Dial in the hilt. This creates bursts of light on each strike. Kiryu uses this to disorient opponents and quickly defeat them.
