Cyrano

Shirano is a character in Oda's one-shot Monsters and was a swordsman from Ryuuma's past.

Appearance
Shirano has a slight resemblance to Mihawk, especially in the way he dress. He has a long, thin mustache that curves at the end. He carries a long sword on his belt.

Personality
At first, Shirano was a man full of dignity. He was friendly, good-natured, and helpful. He also lived for honor and was ready sacrifice himself to protect others.

Later, this was all proven to be a facade. In reality, Shirano was a unscrupulous criminal, that he would sacrifice even his own comrades to achieve his own goals, and he would kill others if it serves his interest. Along with his partner, D.R., they both act as honorable people in order to earn trust before making their criminal activities.

History
Many years ago, Shirano stole the Dragon Horn from one of his subordinates, and attacked Flare's hometown. He killed her father while she was unconscious and decided to use her to earn prestige for his own name.

Seven years later, Ryuuma had arrived. Shirano and his partner, D.R., decided to use Ryuuma as a decoy and scapegoat while they attack the village. D.R. used a fake Dragon Horn to scare the town's civilians away and they planned to loot the town. Shirano was confronted by Ryuuma and Flare, and he revealed his true colors in front of them.

Ryuuma then prepared to clash with Shirano, who mocked him. Ryuuma dodged Shirano's strike and killed him in one stroke.
