[Venour gave a snarl of irritation as he was prevented from going after Lyrik or Celestia by this unusual swordsman. He found his technique of using a sword in his mouth almost comical, yet he couldn't deny its effectiveness as he struggled to block all of the incoming blows with his black-glowing pole arm in this tight space. He couldn't use his wings here, either. He'd have to get out of the cave to fight this guy effectively....which meant the other two would get far ahead]

You'll pay for being a pain in my tail! [he growled as he swept a paw at Zoro, black fire blasting from it towards the warrior's face to back him up. When the fire cleared he'd see Venour's tail end as he ran to get out of the cave]
