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

Exposed

Sanji exhaled clouds of smoke from his lungs. As soon as the nicotine hits, it begin to clear his head little by little. He slowly becomes more and more rational in thinking as he is racking his brain for a solution in this problem. 

Sekido began to realized how dangerous this opponent truly is. This is the first time in ages that a man could withstand his lightning attack. He overestimated his strength including other demons. A man that could relax in this situation, smoking like nothing happened is not someone that they should mess with.

"That lightning shock is not that bad. Thanks for the electrotherapy. I really appreciate it." Sanji thanked Sekido, which makes the demon even more astonished. This isn't usually what occurs after he used his electricity generation, usually people just blacks out. This cook just shrugs it like it was nothing.

"I've had worse than this. This much voltage ain't doing shit to me." Sanji grinned. He'd fought with Enel, the self-proclaimed god before. The man with the devil fruit that is dubbed 'The Invincible Logia'. Enel's attacks are even stronger than Karaku's if it were to compare. Too bad that no matter how strong Enel is, his match back then was Luffy. Due to nature of Luffy's devil fruit, Enel was not much of a struggle.

"How about this?!" Karaku rushed in flurry of punches. Even though he knew he can't match against Sanji's Haki, the excitement of battle is real. Adrenaline rush is what he's having. He can't help it.

*Fwoosh!*

*Bang*

*Crash!*

*Dum!*

Sanji clashed his foot against Karaku's flurry of punches. Shockwaves were produced every single time the collision happened. Sanji blocked the attacks carefully and with ease while holding on a calm demeanor.

"Escalope!" Sanji launches one singular kick with a terrifying power straight in Karaku's forehead, continued with a another kick to the torso.

*Dush!*

Karaku put his hands together and successfully blocked the attack. He was pushed few meters away. Urogi then blitzed towards Sanji in high speed, trying to claw him up again with his sharp talon. 

*Swoosh!*

"Brochette!"  Sanji jumps over the top of Urogi and aims one leg directly downwards. He then drops downwards while spinning like a drill as he strikes Urogi with his extended leg. Straight to Urogi's face.

*Bam!*

Urogi fall flat to the ground. Sekido butted in and bashed his Khakkhara on Sanji. Sanji blocked the attempt on trying to zap him with lightning again. "Tough luck! Same trick won't work twice on me!"

*Thoom!* 

*Thoom!*

 *Thoom!*

Aizetsu thrusts his spear with incredible speed and precision. Seeing the chance, he took it without any hesitation to turn the cook to a mincemeat. Sanji was taken off guard by Aizetsu's sudden attack. Shit! These guys didn't gave me a single room to breath!

*Fwoom!*

Sanji  sidestepped away. He successfully dodged the attack just in time. His clothes were ripped and torn everywhere. The spear almost got him. He needed to be more careful. The demons are relentless. Even though they are in disadvantage, they keep on fighting. If they took some damage, they could just regenerate slowly.

"Honestly, you guys are such a pain to deal with." Sanji retorted in irritation. These demons don't know when to quit. No matter how much Sanji beat them senseless, they always get back up for more. Demons have unlimited stamina and regeneration ability after all.

"The demon that split the more it was cut. Emotion Manifestation, wasn't it? I guess you guys are clones of Hantengu. Upper Rank 4." Seeing closely how the Blood Demon art works and the engraving of emotions in each of the eyes of the demon match with Law's intel.

The four demons raised their eyebrows and dropped their jaws in shock when they heard Hantengu's name from Sanji's mouth. Sekido is agitated and bewildered at how Sanji knew about their Blood Demon Art. 

"Looking at your reactions, I supposed that my guess was correct?" Sanji hit his mark. Now he has confirmed who is he fighting against. Aizetsu does not expect that Sanji knew about them. 

"This confirms one thing, that fighting all four of you guys are pointless. If I just went straight for Hantengu, you guys will die." Again, they were in awe and horror when Sanji just revealed their weakness. How did he found out about it?! Sekido cursed.

"And if I am correct, he's hiding as we speak. Right....there!" Sanji set his gaze upon the forests right behind the mansion that collapsed. Using his Observation Haki, He managed to pin point the exact location. All of the demons were in panic mode. Dammit! Observation Haki? Should have expect that one from him! Aizetsu is concerned.

"Overwhelm him! Attack him with everything that you got! Don't let him get close to Hantengu!" Sekido ordered. He and the others won't allow Sanji to get close to Hantengu. Karaku, Aizetsu and Urogi nodded. They begin to attack Sanji more and more relentlessly. If Sanji gets close, its a game over for all of them. If he gets close, we're all dead! Must protect Hantengu at all costs! Karaku charged in first as a vanguard so others could get close to Sanji.

They must do everything they could before Sanji caught up to the real body. With Sanji's speed, its possible for Hantengu to be defeated just like that. Sanji's speed and explosive power is what makes him a terrifying opponent. 

"Looks like the secret's out, eh?" Sanji smirked. He was entertained by their reactions. Still, he is ready for anything that might comes on his way. His feet are in flames, ready to fight as he activated Diable Jamble.

Seeing the demons begin to be more and more relentless, Sanji knew he hit another mark right there. They are getting desperate to protect Hantengu. Their faces says everything that Sanji had to know about the current situation.

Sekido, Urogi, Aizetsu and Karaku charged towards Sanji all at once. All of them are clad in Haki. Sanji grinned. His feet are up in blazing flames as he activated Diable Jamble. He's ready for whatever that was coming his way.

*Boom!*

"Let's play!" Sanji rushed towards the four demons.
