Zoro attacks. Kaku dodged.
"Tempest Kick!"
Kaku fired a sharp air slash.
Zoro turned his blade and redirected it.
The attack shot upward into the broken ceiling.
Zoro swung again.
"Two Sword Style—Rashomon!"
Kaku blocked it.
Both of them moved in at the same time. Their blows clashed again and again.
Kaku attacked with his long nose and heavy kicks.
Zoro dodged each strike and countered.
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
They moved faster, the air shaking from the hits.
"You're faster than you look," Zoro said, breathing hard.
Kaku raised his leg.
"Tempest Barrage!"
Dozens of air slashes rained down.
Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing!
Zoro blocked them, sliding back.
ZORO-[ If this keeps going on… I'll die]
Zoro sheathed two of his swords.
Kaku laughed. "If you can't beat me with three swords, how will you defeat me with only one?"
ZORO-[ Time to test this sword's full power]
"If you have any last moves," Zoro said, "use them now."
Kaku smirked. "Do your best, Pirate Hunter!"
Zoro took a slow breath.
"One Sword Style… Demon Aura."
Kaku frowned. "Aren't you going to attack?"
"I already did."
"What? All you did was say something about demon aura—"
Zoro turned and walked away.
A second passed.
A deep cut opened across Kaku's chest.
Blood spraying out.
Kaku dropped to the ground, unconscious.
Zoro stopped and ran over to Kaku's body.
" I almost forgot the key." Zoro said taking the key from kaku pocket.
Meanwhile...
Sanji slid across the ground, Blood running from a cut on his cheek.
"You hit pretty hard for a cook," Jabura said, grinning wide.
Sanji wipes away the blood from his face.
"And you bark too much for a mutt."
Jabura's grin faded.
"You'll regret that."
He dashed forward.
BOOM!
Sanji ducked under the claws, spins, and kick Jabura in the ribs.
THWACK!
Jabura slid back, claws digging into the ground.
"Heh… warm-up hit."
Sanji lifted his leg again.
"Shut up and bark properly."
Jabura growled, then vanished.
"Shave."
He reappeared behind Sanji, claws raised.
"Tekkai Kenpo—Wolf Claw!"
Sanji spins and blocked the attack with his leg but the force sent him flying.
CRASH!
Dust shot everywhere.
Jabura laughed.
"Oh come on! You can do better!"
Sanji climbed out of the rubble, coughing.
"You really love running your mouth."
He charged in.
Their attacks met in the center of the room:
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Kicks and claws collided, sparks shooting.
Sanji's legs blurred.
Jabura's claws ripped up the floor every time he missed.
Sanji ducked a slash, twisted, and kicked Jabura's jaw upward.
CRACK!
Jabura's head snapped back.
But he bit down hard on Sanji's leg.
CHOMP!!!
"AGH—!!"
Sanji tried to pull back.
Jabura snarled, biting deeper.
"You smell scared, cook," Jabura said through his teeth.
Sanji's eyes narrowed.
"Let go… mutt."
He kicked Jabura in the nose—hard.
BAM!
Jabura stumbled back, wiping blood.
"You broke my nose… AGAIN"
Sanji panted, trying to ignore the pain in his leg.
"It's an improvement."
Jabura's body began to turn red.
"I'll tear you apart."
He rushed in faster than before.
SWOOSH!
Sanji barely dodged a claw swipe.
Another came from the side.
SLASH!
Blood flew from Sanji's arm.
He winced.
Jabura didn't stop.
He attacked again and again—
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Sanji blocked and dodged.
Jabura laughed.
"Your legs… getting heavy? You know why? Because wolf beats cook."
He jumped high.
"Tempest —Wolf Fang Slice!"
A massive claw-shaped air slash launched towards Sanji.
Sanji ran forward and slid under it.
BOOOOM!!!
The slash blew up the floor behind him.
He jumps up and spin.
"Collier Shoot!"
His heel slammed into Jabura's ribs—
but Jabura hardened his body.
"Iron Body."
Sanji felt a shock run up his leg.
Jabura grinned.
"That tickled."
Then he elbowed Sanji in the stomach.
WHAM!!!
Sanji flew and hit the wall.
He coughed up blood.
Jabura walked closer, cracking his neck.
"You're slowing down. No more jokes?"
Sanji forced himself up.
"…Shut up."
He took a breath.
Jabura rushed him.
Sanji stepped forward and kicked the ground hard enough to crack it.
Blue flames burst around his leg.
Jabura froze in shock.
"What—? Your leg—!?"
Sanji glared at him.
"Diable Jambe…"
Sanji spin his leg like a drill.
Heat waves explodes off of it.
"I don't have time to play with a dog."
Jabura growled.
"You think that scares me—"
Sanji vanished.
FWOOOSH!!!
He reappeared in front of Jabura.
"First course… Extra Crispy."
POW!!!
His burning kick smashed into Jabura's stomach.
burning Jabura fur and flesh.
Jabura screamed.
"GRAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Sanji kicked him again—
BAM!
And again—
BAM!
And again—
BAM!!!
Each kick burned deeper, flames eating through Jabura's iron body.
Jabura swings his claws wildly, trying to hit him.
But Sanji's flames moved faster.
"Flambage Shot!"
He kicked Jabura's jaw upward.
The wolf shot into the air.
Sanji jumped after him.
"Hey mutt," Sanji said, twisting midair.
"Sit."
His burning foot connected with Jabura's face.
WHOOOM!!!
Jabura slammed into the ground.
His eyes rolled back.
Sanji landed, one knee touching the ground, breathing heavily.
Jabura tried to lift himself—
Sanji stand up slowly, fire still burning on his leg.
"This ends now."
He walked toward Jabura, each step burning the ground.
Jabura looked at sanji with fear in his eyes, barely able to move.
"S… stop…"
"This is for Robin," Sanji said.
He raised his leg.
"Concassé."
CRACK!!!
His heel hit Jabura's skull, knocking him out instantly.
Sanji exhaled, smoke drifting from his burning leg as the flames slowly fades away.
He lit a new cigarette.
"What a pain."
Sanji knelt by Jabura's body and began to checked his pockets.
"Where is it…" Sanji said.
Sanji felt something in Jabura's pocket. He pulled it out.
"The key," Sanji said.
He got up and stepped away from Jabura's body.
"Hope the others are doing fine." Sanji said limping away.
