Being born on Zou meant that the majority of Devroux's life was spent within the Grand Line, be it Paradise or the New World. This was just a fact of life for him, but his rough-and-tumble lifestyle meant that this mattered little to him - in fact, it was more welcomed than anything else. Yet, even though most of his time was spent between the Red Lines, there were few occasions where he was forced to visit the Blues. At this current point in time he had been forced out of his comfort zone to visit Loguetown, the town of marines. There was an anti version of him here, somewhere, requesting a fight.

His black wings and fur made him stand out much too easily among the humans of this island. The mink simple sat atop the execution platform, waiting patiently for his mark to come. Expanding the reach of his Kenbunshoku Haki, Dev searched the area for the killing  intent required of someone willing to fight him .

Devroux closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath through his nose and smelling the clean, ocean air coming in from Loguetown's coast. With his eyes closed, he stretched the scope of his haki to its maximum range, connecting his own emotions to those within range. His heart sped up and slowed down as the constant change of emotions flooded through his senses. It was an eerie feeling, but powerful nonetheless. However, as powerful as this power was, what his intent was for its use as of now was searching for malice and killing intent as he searched for the one he came for.

The area was littered with many different emotions, but Devroux's presence upon the Execution Platform through the area into a feeling of caution and discontent. Even if he intended no harm to them nor had given them reason to believe as such, his appearance alone was enough to put most people off guard, especially those that had lived their lives in the Blues without ever coming in contact with other races such as minks. It made the search nearly fruitless, but from immediately behind Devroux an emotion of caution and care switched to malice and killing intent, prompting him to turn around.

Aerial Lunge, being a movement skill, was traditionally used for traversing terrain in a given direction, but its usefulness as a technique didn't stop there. By throwing one of his wings out as he rotated on his foot, Devroux could pivot around at the same speed that Aerial Lunge would otherwise allow. In synchronization with this pivot, the mink used Quickdraw at the same time, drawing Yoru in his right hand and Primo in his left.

Even with the speedy pivot, Devroux couldn't realistically react to what was approaching him. His eyes were immediately drawn to the creepy, ugly visage launching itself in his direction, only managing to spare enough time to cast a quick glance at the falling Impact Dial. Even if he couldn't react to everything in time, Dev was able to manage squeezing Primo's trigger three times before Temp made contact. At the speed the bullets move combined with the speed Temp was moving in the opposite direction combined with the range at which they were fired, it would be quite a feat for the creepy horse to react properly.

These shots were fired only a split second before Temp's dial landed on the Execution Platform. It landed almost directly on the opposite side of the platform that Devroux was on, clearly aimed to simply destroy the platform rather than harm the mink. With the way it was aimed, it cast no debris to the side nor threatened to harm Dev where he stood, but was able to blow apart the wooden platform with relative ease, raining debris down on the tourist crowd that had gathered beneath for a photo-op.

Rather than reacting instinctively and catching himself with his wings, Dev took the moment to fall with the platform. This specific platform gave him plenty of room to fall and exchange blows with Temp whilst still leaving time to catch himself before hitting the ground. His reactions were all fueled by feeling the attacker's presence incoming, keeping his eyes shut the entire time.

Temp, instead of drawing Yoru, opted to move his body around with the use of the Impact Dial and wiggle his butt to attack with the sword while it was still attached to his back. As sporadic as the attacks were, with Dev having already drawn Yoru, he simply parried the one or two strikes that Temp had thrown. The strength totally relying on his body being propelled with the Impact Dial meant that any real form used to retaliate made his attack an almost non-factor. No vision was necessary; Dev reacted solely on his Kenbunshoku Haki.

Before Devroux collapsed to the ground, he threw out his wings once more. With a slight tap of his foot on the ground and a flap of his wings, Aerial Lunge brought him to an even 10 meters from Temp's current position and gracefully set him on the ground within the crowd. Without having used his eyes, the use of Domination and the Flash Dial were both a waste of effort on Temp's part, but it was to be expected of someone as overconfident as he.

In the moment of calm, the use of haki wasn't enough to satisfy Devroux's desire to witness the fight first hand. He could react by feel, now having to see people in order to sense attacks through the use of Kenbunshoku haki, but it didn't grant the same feeling as actually seeing the opponent before him. Having been maneuvering around with an Impact Dial - something easily diagnosed even without vision by the sound of the dial itself - Temp didn't seem injured by it. Hopefully, if all went well, Dev could litter the creepy horse's body with wounds though.

In a show of bravado, Devroux shoved Primo back into its holster, instead opting to pull Yoru's sheathe from his back. The mink gripped it tightly in his left hand, sliding Yoru smoothly back in and preparing for his own attack. Using Aerial Lunge in its intended fashion, Dev sped forward in Temp's direction. Covering the 10 meters in a split second, he used Quickdraw once more to redraw Yoru, strike at Temp's throat, and resheathe the weapon in one quick, fluid motion. However, even as he threw this attack, Devroux didn't stop moving, taking his Aerial Lunge as far as it could carry him in one burst, which put him directly where the Impact Dial had fallen.

The light dial was thrown up into the air after blowing apart the Execution Platform, making it that much easier for it to conincidentally land on top of the rest of the platform's debris and putting it in an easy spot for Devroux to reach. Rather than gripping it with a hand, the mink opted to wrap his clawed foot around it and hold it with a leg instead. Slamming it against the ground, Devroux charged the dial for later use.

Pairing Quickdraw and Last Rites together, Devroux draw Yoru and threw out a wind slash at maximum speed with maximum power. The wind slash coming off of Yoru was extended by an addition 25 meters, meaning that for the next 50 meters in front of Devroux, the air was sliced apart. This slash was thrown at Temp, but it's intent was to also whip up some of the debris immediately within Dev's reach and carry it as well. The attack may have begun as a simple wind slash, but a 50 meter gash in the earth was created, scooping up wood and rocks and hurling them at Temp. With the wind and the extra debris, the width of the attack increased from 10 meters to 20 meters, with only the first 10 being the width of the slicing gust of wind.
