251. Can’t let you live long
While Ken was umting chakra to go to the battlefield again, some marines had the audacity to climb up the Moby Dick and though Ken was recuperating, it didn''t mean he was defenseless. He threw the Stormbreaker which sted everyone off. By this time the other pirate groups were already here and were helping the Whitebeard Pirates.
Zoro and Sanji were on another level in the war. As the battle raged on, Zoro was wearing his iconic bandana and had wore a white haori. With a sip from his sake gourd, he surveyed the chaos unfolding around him, fully aware of the gravity of the situation.
After getting the Shinsui''s character he seemed to have wallowed into loving sake more. With a nonchnt flick of his fingers, Katen Kyokotsu, materialized in his hand. His captain''s haori flowed behind him as he stepped forward, his steps unhurried.
"Well, this looks like quite the party, doesn''t it?" Zoro''s words were punctuated by a chuckle.
With a twirl of his Zanpakuto, his dual des danced in the sunlight, their movements graceful yet deceptively deadly. His strategy was fluid, adapting to the chaotic ebb and flow of the battle. One moment, he was parrying the strikes of Marine Vice Admirals with casual ease, the next he wasunching a flurry of precise strikes that left enemies disarmed and off bnce.
<em>"The Flowery Winds Be Disturbed, The God Of Flowers Sings, The Heavenly Winds Be Disturbed, The Devil Of Heaven Sneers. (hana kaze midarete, kashin naki, tenpū midarete, tenma warau)"</em>
With a mischievous grin, Zoro activated one of of his Shikai powers – "Bushogama" – a game of sake-drinking that influenced the battlefield itself. He rotated the des facing in opposite directions, creatingrge wind des that fire toward the Vice Admrials who wanted to stop him. This attack disoriented the Vice Admirals and then Zoro provided a normal sh.
For Zoro, the games had already started and this was the unfair game.
Of course, not everybody was okay with this and a huge giant came to stop Zoro.
"Oh such a huge body! I wonder how big your shadow is." Zoro said and when the Giant punched him to the ground Zoro had already vanished and emerged again from the shadow of the huge giant which was behind and attack right at the giant. The giant wasn''t somebody to be easily fooled by and turned to dodge but this proved to be quite theedy.
The attack of Zoronded right at the balls of the giant who had wanted to dodge but his huge stature didn''t have that high speed. The giant cried out in pain as Zoro had shed away his balls. The attack even made Zoro cry out, because he could feel his pain.
"I am sorry..."
Cutting the balls away was a huge torture and the giant fainted right on the spot, his face hitting the ground. In fact Zoro wanted to fight Mihawk a bit but he had already left. Though he was sure that he still wasn''t the match of Mihawk, not at least he got his bankai and made his haki better, he still wanted to have fight against him.
Zoro after praying for the giant continued his games. He activated the other game – "Irooni" – a game of color. As the game''s rules took effect, beams of vibrant, swirling colors erupted from Zoro''s des. Each beam struck its target, imbuing them with various effects – some found themselves slowed by lethargy, others were left temporarily blind, and a fortunate few found their injuries healed by the soothing hues.
This made Sanji angry.
"Marimo, what the hell are you doing?"
"What do you care? This is a game and these people are the yers."
"Your game is healing people, you asshole."
"Then why don''t you take care of them?"
"Fine"
With a focused expression, he clenched his fists, mes dancing at his fingertips. He took care of those marines who had been healed and kicked them with his might, sending many of them away. Without hesitation, Sanji''s channeled his mes, his feet transforming into incandescent infernos. He unleashed a barrage of fireballs that streaked through the air, each impact sending plumes of smoke and sparks into the sky. The Marines, caught off guard by the sudden onught of fire, scrambled to evade the scorching projectiles.
"Is he a Lunarian?" Kizaru who was taking care of the people around looked at the fire that seemed toe to life.
"There has been no record of a Lunarian from East Blue."
"Then how can you exin his fire. Kizaru, I want you to take care of him." Sengoku spoke through thems to Kizaru.
"He can''t be left alive now, can he?" Kizaru replied with his usual slow tone which seemed to be devoid of emotion. Kizaru came flying in and attacked Sanji with his leg, but by this time Sanji had his Haki turned on and met the attack of his leg, with his own leg. They shed and had to step few feet away after it.
"You surprised me. Like your Vice-Captain, you also know Haki."
"And Admiral, I thought you are more interested on the Captains." Sanji replied.
"You Straw Hats are causing quite the havoc on the battlefield, can''t let it continue. I will start with you and then the rest of the crew." Kizaru said.
"You can try." And thus the epic sh between Sanji and Kizaru started.
At the outset, it was clear that Kizaru held the upper hand. The Admiral''s light-speed movements allowed him to effortlessly evade Sanji''s initial barrage of mes, his casual demeanor contrasting with the fiery determination etched across Sanji''s face. Kizaru''s light-based attacks cut through the air likesers, each strike threatening to overwhelm the young Fire Soldier.
As Sanji pressed forward with unyielding resolve, Kizaru''s light-speed movements seemed insurmountable. The Admiral''s precise kicks and beams of light found their mark, leaving Sanji stumbling and struggling to defend himself. The power gap between them was stark, and it seemed as though the Fire Soldier''s mes might be extinguished by Kizaru''s brilliance.
"Sanji!!"
"That curly brow. Does he think he can take a admiral head on?" Zoro shouted as he ran to give hand to Sanji.
