A Cook, A Doctor, A Ghost and A Ronin.

Bagel

*Whoosh!*

"Let's get this party started!" Uzui rushed towards Brook with both of his hands holding his sword. Brook smiled, he is excited for this fight.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho! Well, if you insist..." Brook put his cane sword on his waist, while he is standing tall, waiting for Uzui. His hand is ready to pull his sword out from his scabbard. 

"Try this for your size!" Uzui leaped as his foot took off the ground. He put his sword in horizontal position. He swings his sword downwards.

*King!*

Their blades clash, Uzui backed away. Then he goes for another strike. He swings his blade again. It was perfectly blocked by Brook.

*King!*

Both of them throws attacks after attacks without each of them seems to be letting up. They swings their violently and with their strength put in their swords. Both of their sword clashed each other.

They keep on striking, blocking and parrying. Consecutive attacks are thrown against each other. So far, both of them manage to block and parry each other's strike without any of them getting hit.

*King!*

*Fwoosh!*

*King!*

Their blades clashed multiple times as sparks are created by their clash. Uzui restrained himself from using bombs to keep others sleeping. The loud noises definitely going to make a lot of noise for sure.

*Fwoosh!*

Brook disappeared between his eyes. Uzui is stunned. Where did he go? How the hell did he do that? Then, Uzui could hear the sound of a sword going for his neck. He's behind me?!

*Swish!*

In the nick of time, Uzui hold his sword apart and spins rapidly at all directions, creating a sphere that defends him from any attack from all directions. Brook backs away. He is an inch away from being defeated.

Tch, this skeleton's movement is fast! If it weren't for my reflexes, he would actually got me! Uzui thought. He was originally try to fasten his pace to overrun Brook, but he is surprise at how fast Brook actually is. 

"Excellent swordplay." Brook complimented Uzui for his amazing and peculiar swordsmanship. He had never seen anyone uses their sword like Uzui. Uzui's sword are designed chained with other sword, making it useful as a nun chucks. 

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going down easily." Uzui won't go down without a fight. 

*Zoom!*

"Now, my turn" Brook dashed towards the Sound Hashira who is prepared.

Brook went and swings his sword vertically, straight for Uzui's torso. But Uzui saw through the attack and jumped high in the sky to avoid it. Although Uzui is leaving himself defenseless in midair. 

"You're open!" Brook saw an opening and lunged his sword at Uzui. He can't dodge midair!

*Thoom!*

*Shing!*

Brook thought that the strike got Uzui, but Uzui is persistent. He spins his body midair, dodging the thrust that almost got him. Few strands of Uzui's hair are cut by Brook. That's how it is so close the sword from defeating Uzui right there. Shit! That's too close!!

"Impressive. You are indeed worthy of the title Hashira!" Brook never expecting that from Uzui. No wonder he is granted the title Hashira. He managed to dodged the attack midair, an inhuman feat.

"Of course. I'm not a Hashira for nothing!" Uzui barely managed to evade the attack. It's a hell of an experience for him. In his heart, he is so relieved that he could dodge that.

"Then show me everything you got, Tengen-san." Brook requested to Uzui to stop holding back. He wanted to see how truly strong Uzui is when he's at his full strength.

*Foom!*

"I was about to anyway!" Uzui Dashes forward to Brook.

Sound Breathing, First Form: Roar!! lift both of his swords above his head, then slams it down on Brook with great force that he could muster whilst simultaneously creating explosion with his bombs to deal more damage, causing loud sound similar to thunder being created. 

*Ka-boom!*

Uzui backflips away to see how well did it work against Brook. Is it effective to the likes of him? The smoke started to clear bit by bit, Uzui is curious. He didn't care if others have awake. He wanted to see how could he beat this skeleton.

"*Cough* That's a bit *Cough!* unexpected at all."  Brook didn't expect Uzui to use explosives at close range at all. Brook's kimono is a bit tattered by the blast.

"So I took that as a Sound Breathing? So that's how you fight." This is the first time Brook had seen Uzui's techniques. From the explosion, he could also smell something fragrant and sweet.

"Wisteria-based bombs?" He guessed.

"You have sharp sense of smell, do you?" Uzui is impressed at how Brook could easily guessed.

"I have a sharp sense of smell because I have a good nose! Ah! I'm dead so I don't have a nose! Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!" Brook cracked as skull joke in amidst of the fight. Uzui is surprised at what Brook said. He's dead?

"Well, it's my turn." Brook walk slowly while carrying his cane sword with him. 

"Aubade Coup Droit!!" Brook launches a thrusting technique. Brook creates a highly compressed blast of air using his sword. Then, he fired it off like a gun towards Uzui.

*Ka-Thoom!*

*Crash!*

Uzui evaded the attack again. Uzui is stunned. Semi-flying thrust?! He is schoked. He had read some reports from Rengoku when he first encountered Ronin. The Ronin launches a semi-flying slash towards Rengoku before he disappeared. So this guy could do it too?!

Uzui looked back. He is lucky. The wall behind him is demolished by the thrust. With a perfect circle in the wall. If that were me, I would be dead where I'm standing! What a devastating strike!

"Ah, I broke the wall! I'm going to be in so much trouble after this!" Brook is concerned at his own fate. He will definitely get scolded for destroying the wall in the Zen garden located at their backyard.

"Are you planning to turn me into donut?!" Uzui shouted. 

"No, I actually prefer bagel over donuts, but you could say that." Brook shrug his shoulder. He's more into bagel than donuts. Uzui going to be more cautious after this. One mistake, and he's probably be dead.

"Now, shall we resume?" Brook asked.
