Shura

Skyrider Shura (スカイライダー・シュラ, Sukairaidā Shura), the second priest of the Upper Yard, punishes criminals with the Ordeal of String. He tangles his enemies in nearly-invisible and unbreakable string and then attacks with his lance named Heat Javelin, that has a Heat Dial inside. He rides a flying monster bird named Fuza, who has a Flame Dial in its mouth that allows it to breathe fire.

Skypiea Arc
Soon after Zoro, Nami and Robin headed off in to the woods, leaving Chopper alone on Going Merry, Shura appeared at the Sacrificial Altar to take care of the offering. Realizing only one offer was ready, he was greatly irritated, and attacked Chopper. After first playing with his vicitm, destroying parts of Going Merry, he decided to kill Chopper. In the nick of time, Gan Fall appeared and the two fought a battle in the sky. After an even match, Shura used his ordeal to trap Gan Fall, and then pierced him with his lance.

Survival Game
After first trapping all of the Shandians with his ordeal, he is defeated by Wiper, who uses a Reject Dial (similar to an Impact Dial except 10 times more powerful). He was thereby the first person to be taken down in the survival game. His ordeal has a 3% chance of survival.

He has been banished along with the other priests to a desert cloud by the Shandians.
