The Chronicle

Chapter 43

“Ryuu no Kagidzume!!” I exclaimed as I swung my blade toward the girl, who eventually dodged it with ease using those bug wings of her while Flame lunged toward the boy, who commanded his ‘doll’ to punched away the hybrid, who landed next to me on his paws.

“Damn, this gonna be interesting.” I spat with a grin as I took off all of my outer clothes, revealing me wearing a white tee with green shorts before I jumped toward the girl, kicking her away fast as she skidded away a few meters, causing the sands around her to cloud up.

“I guess fighting using kairoseki weapon will be cheating,” I said as I threw away my weapon before ran toward the girl as I used my haki on both of my arms before we started attacking at each other using our arms.

“IRON FIST!!” I punched her away right on her chin, upper-cut her. Not giving a chance to her to stand up properly, I ran again toward her and kicked her side with my right foot, kicking her away. This time I waited for her to stand up again as I kept readying my fists and my haki to detect her while the sands blocking my sights to her. I felt she stood up and jumped towards me fast, her scythe-arms lunged toward me.

I crossed my arms to my face, still using haki, as her arms clung to my arms and we face-to-face. I saw her dead fish eyes sparkled with annoyance as we glared at each other. I warded away her arms before we attacked to each other again, using our arms or feet. This apparently started to piss me off, not to mention the strong heat of the desert started to get me, so I kicked her away again a few meters as I panted heavily. I felt my head is starting to feel light and I felt blood started to trail down from my nostrils.

Damn, this is why I hate heat. Every time I did something heavy, like running fast for a full ten minutes or more, I will get a nosebleed. I brushed away the blood as she stood up again and we attacked to each other again, but this time the heat is truly got me as I kept getting slashes from her attacks before she kicked me away, skidding me toward the sand that made small clouds of sands.

I coughed before I brushed away the blood again that kept trailing down from my nose. I stood up again before I ran toward where the girl is, I divided my right hand’s fingers into Asian dragon’s talon-like as I coated them with haki before my slashed her face hard, with made her flew away as a clear two short claw marks appeared on her left cheek that started to bleed before she landed on the sands with big puff as clouds of sands appeared as she landed.

“I never thought I’ll use this one,” I muttered as I saw my right hand, that still forming dragon’s talon before I put them back to normal. “I felt like an asshole to scar that pretty face of yours.” I said as I saw her sat up and wiped away the blood from her new wounds without any expression.

“No one cares about it anyway.” She replied as she stood up, “I gave away my humanity for the sake of my brother’s and my life after those pirates kidnapped us.” She continued.

“You were kidnapped?” I asked in confusion, “yet you still work with that Alligator, who is obviously a pirate even though he works with the World Government?”

“He saved us,” she replied as her arms formed to scythes, “and he gave us a reason to live as he recruited us as agents and bounty hunters after we ate our DF that gave by those pirates that got us, forcibly.” She continued before she lunged at me, which I quickly hold it back as I crossed my arms in front of me using haki.

“And now, to repay his effort to raise us up, we must kill all of you and that princess of the country.” She finished as we face-to-face before she kicked my stomach fair and square as I skidded away a few feet, thankfully I could protect my stomach area using haki despite I still using it on my arms. Then suddenly I heard a loud whine and I turned my head. I saw that Flame was strangled by the sand ‘doll’ while the brat was laughing maniacally.
