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

True Form

"I'm gonna get you, you piece of shit!" Zoro swings Shusui, that is coated with Armament Haki towards Gyokko's neck. He wanted to get back for what this art-obsessed piece of shit for tossing him out towards the forest.

*Swish!*

As soon as the tip of Shusui hit Gyokko's neck. Gyokko disappeared, leaving his skin away. Turns out the outer skin is to hide Gyokko's true self. Zoro was taken aback by this and did not expect this kind of thing at all. He shed his skin? What is he, a caterpillar? 

Muichiro caught Gyokko's movement within his side eye. He looked up on a tree. He lets out a sigh. When he thought everything would be over, Gyokko is persistent and refused to die.

"Ugh, what a pain. Would you please stop jumping up on trees?" Muichiro is getting tired with these antics of teleporting to random places. Zoro just nodded as a sign of agreement.

"What are you, a monkey or something? I had to agree with the brat for once. Can you just forfeit your life already?" Zoro really wanted this to end.

"Stop calling me that. I'm not that young." Muichiro glared at Zoro once again. Which Zoro just shrug it off.

"Hey, monkey! Get off the tree dammit!" Zoro pointed his sword at Gyokko. He wanted to face this coward directly, no bullshits anymore.

"Now, I will show you my true form!" Gyokko exclaimed as he slithers around the tree in the shadows, staring at them.

"Oh, okay." Muichiro replied with no interest or whatsoever.

"No one gives a fuck about you!" Zoro replied.

"You're the only the third and fourth one to ever see this!" Gyokko thought that they should be honored to ever be graced with such sight. No one had ever seen his true form in ages. Too bad, no one had ever lived to tell the tale about his true form.

"That's quite a lot." Muichiro never thought that they were the third and the fourth seeing this freak of nature. So there's nothing worth noticing.

"For the last time, no one gives a shit about your true form or whatever!" Zoro told Gyokko to hurry up and stop wasting their time with pointless banters. They're not here to listen to the Upper Five praising himself.

"Shut up! Once I get serious, no one has ever survived!" When Gyokko decided to become serious, he had never seen a Demon Slayer that could ever defeat him.

"Oh, wow...." Muichiro rolled his eyes.

"Shut your mouth, you insolent brat!" Gyokko had enough of Muichiro interrupting his grandeur speech as he was about to reveal his true form.

"These transparent scales are stronger than diamond! I developed this form inside my vase." Gyokko proudly stated. He was proud of his true form which he deemed as the greatest masterpiece ever existed in the world.

"The same shitty vase that looks like a hardened puke?" Zoro interrupted him.

"Shut up! I'm not finished yet!" Gyokko really hated the uncultured folks like both of them. They're really impatient and rude. Muichiro had a sharp tongue and known for talking down other people and Zoro......well he's a pirate.

"Kneel before this perfect, beautiful form!" Gyokko retained his facial features and muscular physique but now possessed a more humanoid body covered in transparent scales akin to a fish. He also grew much larger, attains longer fish tail-like hair, black markings on various places around his body, webbed hands, and a long serpent-like tail in place of his legs.

Muichiro didn't react. He just gave Gyokko a judging stare and didn't even utter a single word. His face is expressionless. While Zoro is covering his mouth and holding his stomach from laughter. Gyokko looks like something out of his fever dream.

"Say something, you dunce! You really get under my skin, you miserable brat! And you! Stop laughing! What's so funny huh?!" Gyokko had enough of these two Demon Slayers. Everything is not going to plan because of these two.

"Bwahahahahahaha! I can't! I can't! You look like crossbreed of autistic mermaid and a stage 4 cancer patient! Is that your attempt at a 'unique' makeover? Hate to break it to you, but you're rocking the 'hideous' vibe a bit too convincingly." Zoro could not stop his laugh.

"No, it's just that you told me to shut my mouth. Also, I'm not at least bit surprise-

*Bam!*

*Bwam!* 

*Bam!*

*King!*

Before anything, Gyokko rushed with flurry of punches aiming for both Muichiro and Zoro. Zoro simply dodged all of those attacks while Muichiro retreated back on top of a tree. With his uniform almost turned into a fish.

"Didn't you just tell me not to flee into trees? What a pain!" Gyokko made Muichiro eat his own words.

"No, it's just....that stink. My nose can't handle it." Muichiro pinched his nose. He can't stand the smell.

"Don't let your guard down kid." Zoro reminded Muichiro to stay alert at all times. Although the fish smells very bad, Zoro wasn't bothered by it. Maybe due to his clogged nose as he is suffering from a cold right now.

"I guess your shitty makeover isn't all just for show, huh?" Zoro saw the preemptive strike earlier and managed to evade the attacks. He managed to not have any of his clothes turned to fish unlike Muichiro.

"You're good, kid?" Zoro asked whether Muichiro taken any injuries. Muichiro didn't answer. Zoro took that reply as a yes.

"What do you think of my godlike hands? Anyone my fists touch turns into adorable fishes! And my speed! My body is flexible and tough! Thanks to my flexible scales, I can bend in any direction I like!" Gyokko went further and further to compliment his real form which he deemed as the true masterpiece.

"Even the strongest attacks are pointless if they don't hit." Muichiro lets out a mocking smile.

"You're done?" Zoro picked a booger out of his stuffed nose. He just quietly listened with a blatant expression he wasn't impressed at all. He had seen something much crazier than weird-looking demon.

"Well then, ready for round 2?" Zoro asked if Gyokko is ready for a second round. Gyokko just smirks as he raised his fists.

*Tap*

"Don't forget about me too." Muichiro jumped off the tree and landed on the ground.

"It's unfair if you're the only one who's getting serious. Maybe I should be getting serious too, don't you think?" Zoro cracked his neck. He's going to show this demon what happened when he decided to get a little bit serious.
