Chapter 31 - Marineford War 4

After thinking about what to do, Kenshin jumped from the ship and dashed towards the right side of the bay. Many people were confused as everyone was going to the centre where the execution will take place but Kenshin is moving towards the side.

"What is that guy doing? That damn brat caused us to miss the chance to injure Whitebeard", said Sengoku.

"Sengoku-san should I go and kill him?", said Kizaru.

"No, he is but a single person. You three admirals stay here to fight with Whitebeard Pirates. The Vice-Admirals are there to protect the area. Now commence the plan and raise the Walls", said Sengoku.

After that like in the anime many things happens like the soldiers retreating, the pirates moving forward and the walls being raised. But here Whitebeard is more calm as he is uninjured.

Kenshin who was just moving forward didn't give much thought to them as he had helped them as much as possible. For now he will enjoy the fights with Marines. And yes, the Vice Admirals are on the side of the bay.

While on the the left side there are Tsuru and many others, in the right side there are Momonga, Stainless and others whom he wanted to fight. Kenshin was about to jump to enter the plaza when he saw walls twice that of previous one being raised.

"So, they started", thought Kenshin. He didn't bat an eye to it and still jumped and cross the wall. Seeing this many Marines were shocked. Sengoku was cursing him. The Admirals were glaring at him. Many pirates were also looking at Kenshin with reverence gaze.

"Why didn't he run straight towards the plaza to rescue Ace"

"He is not one of us. He said he wants to test his power or something"

"Damn him, we are fighting with our lives depends on it and that guy just fighting for fun"

Discussion ran through the pirates as they were discussing why Kenshin haven't helped them. Marco got angry and said, "That guy saved pops and that is already very good. Don't forget we are Whitebeard Pirates and it is our duty to protect Ace but the duty of a stranger". After that the pirates calmed themselves and began to think about their current situation.

Kenshin who has just jumped saw band of 6 Vice Admirals were standing there. Without saying anything, he jumped straight towards Dalmation as he believe him to be the weakest of them all.( Yes Kenshin is planning to fight with Navy, from the weakest to the strongest or stronger opponents)

Seeing that Kenshin was coming at him Dalmation got in fighting pose and the other five Vice Admirals moved back as they have their pride and they didn't want to gang up on a kid.

"Why are you helping Whitebeard Pirates?", said Dalmation.

"Me? No, I was just about curious about his full power", said Kenshin.

Kenshin then rushed towards Dalmation and tried to cut him with "Rising Demon" strike, Dalmation who has more power easily dodged it by moving to the side and made a claw to attack Kenshin.( Dalmation have some zoan type dog dog fruit along with Haki( both Kembunshoku and Bushoshoku) at high master level, two sublevel above Kenshin and Kenshin was not using his ki)

Kenshin who saw the attack barely dodged the strike with " Water Flow" technique. Just after dodging Kenshin used his fingers imbued with Haki and used "Piercing Death" to attack Dalmation's livers. Dalmation who saw this moved back a bit but saw Kenshin's sword coming down at him. Kenshin used left hand to use unarmed Martial arts and the right to use Sword arts.

Dalmation seeing the sword about to hit used kami-e and tekkai imbued with Bushoshoku Haki. Dalmation dodged that but was still hurt by Kenshin's incoming sword as his defence was not perfect. Dalmation looked at the injury and thought, " My power and speed is both higher than him but he still managed to injure me".

After getting injured Dalmation got very angry and attack at Kenshin with a barrage of shigans with his pointed nails coated with Haki. Kenshin was obviously not going to sit around and watch, so he started using his "water flow" in coordination with "dodging shadows" to dodge most of them but was still injured by a few of them. One of the serious injury include that in the shoulder where a small chunk of his meat was gone. Kenshin used his ki to stop the blood flow and accelerate healing process.

Within the next few minutes, the fight got more and more dangerous. Kenshin and Dalmation began making more and more deadly attacks. Kenshin's strength was lower but due to him using martial arts in between his sword arts, make his attack more unpredictable. Dalmation was able to dodge some of them due to Kembunshoku haki but he still was getting attack and injured. Kenshin was not totally unscathed, many. more injuries appear on his body and a single in his face but they were mostly scratches.

Dalmation suddenly felt more pressurized but he couldn't figure out what is happening but the other five Vice Admirals saw, Kenshin's improvement. After a few moments, Dalmation was totally on the receiving end. Then with " Midnight Death" Kenshin made a deep wound from Dalmation's shoulder to waist (like Zoro's injury). Then Kenshin was about to attack when he dodged backwards.

Kenshin then saw the five Vice Admirals who were on the sidelines infront of Dalmation.

"Damn, how could we let one of our own get injured in front our own eyes", said Stainless and the others nodded.

"Onigumo you fight with him now and if you feel the need call out Doberman. Both of you guys have amazing partnership which will increase the battle prowess. In normal situation, Onigumo would have disagreed but seeing Kenshin defeat Dalmation with their own eyes, he didn't say anything even though Dalmation was the weakest of them.

Kenshin looked at his next opponent while taking deep breath. Even though his body is as strong as the Admirals, the continuous barrage of attacks he exchanged with Dalmation caused him to breathe heavily. Kenshin then thought, " I got my Haki levels upgraded to mid Master level. The next opponent is Onigumo with his 8-sword style, high Master level Haki and mid Master level Sword Mastery will be a difficult battle. But it will help me a lot".

Soon Onigumo and Kenshin started the battle without saying anything. The surrounding Marines were shocked when they first saw Kenshin defeating an above average level Vice Admiral. But when they saw the rest of the Vice Admirals, they sighed with relief as the rest five are top level Vice Admirals just below Garp, Momusagi and a few others.

Onigumo without waiting for Kenshin started to attack. Each of the eight swords was attacked with perfect coordination. Onigumo was using the two sword in his hands to parry with Kenshin's sword and the other swords to make surprise attacks at Kenshin's vital part. Kenshin was having a tough time to fight with this opponent even with years of martial art experience. It is because it is the first time he faced someone so unorthodox but highly skilled. But he still kept cool of his emotions and analysed the opponents attack pattern.

Like in the start of the battle with Dalmation, Kenshin was getting injured by Onigumo's attacks. Kenshin was keeping his vitals safe but his other parts were riddled with scars. Kenshin was trying to figure out his opponents attack pattern while dodging the attacks. And in the time of desperate need Kenshin was taking full advantage of his supreme level talent.

After ten minutes of fight, Kenshin was looking injured seriously. But he achieved his goal, Kenshin's haki level have now breakthrough to high Master level. Starting from now, Kenshin began to dodge the attacks more efficiently and the attacks that he was not able to dodge, he use "divine turtle" along with his high Master level Haki to get minimum injury as possible.(It looks seriously injured but Kenshin is not as after a injury happened, Kenshin quickly closed it with his ki)

Now the battle was on Kenshin's favour, he has in these 10 minutes analysed Onigumo's technique. Now, Kenshin easily evaded the attack and attacking at Onigumo's weak points or the gap between his technique.

Kenshin attacked Onigumo with "Bloodied Horizon" towards Onigumo's waist that was dodged easily but Kenshin used "dodging shadows" to move into Onigumo's blindspot and attacked with "chilling night" stance/form.

Onigumo who has managed to barely dodge Kenshin's previous attack used two swords from his extended arm to partially defend and then he used Tekkai along with Haki on his body to take the blow. When Kenshin's attack came it sent the two swords flying away and was about to attack when he felt his balance getting disturbed and he missed the attack and Onigumo was saved. Kenshin shouted in his mind, " Damn Whitebeard if you could have done that a bit late it would have been nice. Now if these five gang up then it will be a tough battle".

Yes, it was the moment when Whitebeard used his full power of his devil fruit power to turned the seas upside down. After that he turned to see the effect of Whitebeard's attack, he still maintained a calm face but was shocked inside by the level of destruction. He thought, " In anime it didn't feel like much. But this is like the ending of the world. I will have to work hard to reach that level".
