[color=00aeef]"Stop batting those fake lashes at me, woman. You're as much as fairy princess as I am. And I'm not feeling too pretty now a days..."[/color] He said as he finished the slashing motion.

Of course, his slash missed. He was not truly engaged in the slash anyways.

In any case, Jōichirō took two steps to his left and leaned towards the ground. To the untrained eye, his movements will seem wasted and out of place. However, with what little Observation Haki he has, he was able to discern that the two gunshots were aimed at him. However, with Observation Haki not being his best type, he tried to utilize his devil fruit to let the bullets pass through him. 

Since the ammunition was imbued with haki, he was not able to escape unscathed. He suffered a wound to his left shoulder where the bullet went clean through. [color=00aeef]"Tsk"[/color] he vocalized. 

[color=00aeef]"Great, now there is a fan boy to this whore. And a haki user to boot..."[/color] He thought to himself.[color=00aeef] "No matter, all I'm here for is to bide time. I would like to think I'm doing ok..."[/color] His thought continued. 

Whilst leaning forward, he took a hard step with his right foot and kicked off the ground with his left, propelling himself forward at great speeds. His drawn sword, held in his right hand but to the left side of his body, was kept low to the ground. As he closed his distance to Caitlyn, he aimed another upwards slash going from his left to his right, at Caitlyn. 

Though there is something different about his swing this time around...
