Cursed Seas and Slashing Tides

Battle at Port town: Defeating Buggy's Crew

Zoro vs. Cabaji

"Are you ready to be defeated!?" Cabaji shouted.

"Hm. Save the big talk. I'm not losing to a circus performer." Zoro said confidently.

Cabaji charged forward, spitting flames at Zoro's face. Zoro dodged under the flames, then kicked Cabaji, stunning him long enough to slice his arm.

"Ahhh! You bastard!" Cabaji screamed. He sped up a nearby wall with his monocycle, then leapt into the air, preparing to strike Zoro from above.

Zoro easily sidestepped the attack, slicing Cabaji across the chest as he landed.

"Is that all you've got?" Zoro asked, his voice flat with disappointment. Cabaji collapsed, unconscious.

Zoro glanced over at the other fights.

"How are the others doing?"

Luffy vs. Buggy

"You're gonna die here, boy!" Buggy snarled.

"No, I won't." Luffy replied, calm as ever.

Buggy threw a handful of knives, followed by launching his lower half, concealed blades jutting from his boots. Luffy jumped to dodge the attack but was quickly pursued by more knives. He latched onto a nearby house, evading the flurry of blades.

"Gomu-Gomu no...Pistol!" Luffy's outstretched arm shot toward Buggy, who evaded the punch.

"What an interesting Devil Fruit." Buggy sneered, preparing to sever Luffy's arm with a knife. But before he could, Luffy grabbed a pillar and launched himself toward Buggy, narrowly missing as Buggy detached his body parts to avoid the strike.

Ryomen vs. Mohji

Across the tavern, a scream echoed. Mohji lay unconscious at Ryomen's feet.

"Will that do it?" Ryomen muttered, watching the lion grow more aggressive despite its master's state.

"What the-!" Ryomen exclaimed as the lion lunged at him. He barely dodged the attack. "Come on, get out of here! You're free!"

But in a moment of distraction, the lion's paw slammed into Ryomen, sending him flying through a nearby building.

"Ahh!" a voice shrieked. Ryomen glanced up, seeing Nami standing nearby with a bag of treasure.

"What happened?" she asked, startled.

"Nothing. Just got caught off guard." Ryomen grumbled, getting up. "You done looting?"

"Hmhm." Nami replied nonchalantly.

"You should go. It's dangerous.”

"Like I need you to tell me that. I was already leaving.”

The lion appeared outside, still aggressive and waiting for another round.

"Tsk. You really want to fight me that badly?" Ryomen grumbled, scooping Nami into his arms. As the lion charged, Ryomen dodged, then flicked his fingers. "Dismantle!"

The building's structure collapsed onto the lion, knocking it out.

"Put me down!!" Nami shouted angrily.

"Uh... right. Sorry."

Luffy vs. Buggy

"I promised I'd return this hat to Shanks!!" Luffy shouted, his voice echoing through the streets.

"Wait, that's Shanks' hat!? No wonder it looked familiar!" Buggy rambled, his expression darkening as memories flooded back.

Before Buggy could continue his rant, Luffy delivered a swift punch to his groin.
