boom....
With the collision of attacks the atmosphere trembled slightly, the air converged until it dispersed in the surroundings making the waves of the sea shook in succession. Joshua stepped up to Cancer's right side of his body in a several steps, then he slashed horizontally across his waist. Such attack did not escape Cancer eyes as he backflipped passed the blade over to his left hand, then cut across Joshua's stomach at a fast speed.
"Lets see if you can block that," Cancer sneered as his flipping was about to come to an end.
Joshua saw the sword which is about inches away from cutting him but he still remained calm as he hardened his body. When the sword came incontact with him flickers of sparkle gnashed out as it passes by creating leaving only a slight scar.
"He even knows tekkai..."
Cancer eyes flashed with a little more surprise as he saw the this. He knows another type of the navy six style technique just where did he get such information from.
"Thats not all his physical capabilities seems not bad," Cancer brow wrinkled deeply as he thought of this. For someone in the West sea who can train themselve to this degree it is really a bit suprising.
But he gathered his thoughts as he felt the incoming danger, he stepped on the air and met the sword which seemingly looked like it was about to cut his upper body.
Ding...
The sounds of metal rang out through air bringing an odd level of added noise in the atmosphere but that didn't stop them, as the fight contiuned. Cancer flicked his hands in a javelin like position, then striked at Joshua shoulder blade, the ray of yellow continue to leave residue image as the sword broke through the air at high speed. Joshua countered the attack by leaning his upper body to the side which caused the sword to by pass him.
A slight haze of black light flashed in his eyes as he used this slight opening to cut at the passed by hand. Cancer eyes slightly shrank for a second there was no movement until he disppeared from the original spot and appeared above Joshua. A white light flashed in the eyes and weak yet strong force erupted from his blade as he striked down at Joshua fiercely.
Peng...
Without turning around Joshua drew back his blade, lifted it up and blocked the strike of the sudden reappeared Cancer.
whooohh....
The dull sounds of air ripples spread out disturbing the atmosphere which was at bay. "Really a bit capable," Cancer thought has few points of distain washed away from his eyes even though he doen't want to admit it he might have to display a little but more to defeat Joshua. This made his face go dark, and the anger in his heart was brewing.
Joshua who as already backed away, looked on the rising aura of Cancer with squinted his eyes the next level of battle will ot be small.
"The real battle is about to begin," Johus thought calmly. Then the black flames started to protude off his body causing the surrounding air to become dark, the terrfying latent heat totally dulled the atmosphere of its bright colour as the flames makes its apearance the world. He grasped the sword as he went in a normal looking stands.
"This.."
Cancer whose aura was converging looked on Joshua with a bit of solemnnity. He can feel it.... he can feel the dark creepy aura that is constantly being released from Joshua's body. The horrible latent heat made his face appear fine layers of sweat.
"Just like what the information says the heat of the flames are not normal," he thought at heart as he looked before him with a condensed expression. He has gotten all the information currently known about Joshua black flames and even though all is not accurate the base of the data is true.
"Is he also a swordsman, cause the stance seems normal but it looks totally without any flaw," Cancer tried to analyse the situation. It was like Joshua who is a devil fruit user turned into a expert swordsman who is like a impenetrable fortress, simply without any openings.
"This can't be , from the start of the battle he has only been brandishing his sword around, I must be seeing things," he added as he shook his head in denial, simply not believing what he just saw.
The auras of both persons converged and the sea down below boiled as the air stifly moved around the atmosphere. The oppressive atmosphere released in the air gave of a creepy vibe but the rising tension felt as if a dormant volcano was about to erupt.
Then...
"Raging bull.."
Cancer called out as he neatly cut the blade across the sky creating two huge yellow arc which paled the surrounding air with its birth. The two monstrous slashes madly galloped in the air, in an interwined format as it releases strong repressive aura in the atmosphere. The slashes continued to interlock until it forms one untamed raging bull that insanely rushes toward Joshua.
The huge bull which was abot 4 times the size of Joshus drown down on him as he roars signifying his ferocity.
Death slash....
Joshua grasped his blade has he made an instanteanuoes cut along the sky, the gloomy yet terriying huge arc ran from Joshua sword. The darkness that was entrapped in the distorted slash left residue negative energy in the air as it crazily rush towards the bull.
boomm...
One black, one pale yellow skill collided creating huge amount of power ripples the surrounding air. The constant pushing back of each other caused a slight dent in the the atmospheric layer as waves of strong breath continue to spread out. Then both exploded causing the air to assemble in they sky, the shockwave it released shook an radius of almost a 100m in succession.
Smoke filled the air but the battle continued, a territying slash cut through the smoke in half . Joshuo who felt his sense tingling off, imeddiately side stepped as he dodged the slash which cut piece of his hair.
"The level of speed is up another grade," Joshua thought, even though they haven't played long, Joshua could realize that Cancer main power lies in speed then strength would be right after. Even though he uses a sword he doesn't seems to have mush sword play so he relay on his speed to cover this up.
Right as he was thinking of this, Cancer appeared right before him radiating intense yellow aura he slash out. Sounds of the wind cutting in half as the sword broke through the sky with after images of yellow light flowing behind of it. Joshua expression condensed as he blocked the sword attack immediately.
whooohh...
The winds violently rush out to all the cardinal points of the earth.
"Can still even block such attack," Cancer eyes slowly shrink as he thought. His strength as just been more than doubled and his speed went up to huge degree but he can still block it. The strength is not small.
burn...
Joshua coldy said as the terrfying flames rised from his body changing the warm sunny day to night. The violent and maddening chaos thoughts wildly jumped onto Cancer wanting to enclosed him to total darkness. Cancer expressed changed instantly when he saw this , he did not dare to have direct contact with the flames as he flickered away in the air.
But it wasn't over yet...
Distorted fist...
Joshua instantly appeared right above him and a huge of fist which had a diameter of 5m blasted down unto him. Chaos, sorrow, pain, despair etc totally withered the surrounding atmosphere with its abominable existance.
"Don't act too arrogant boy," Cancer snorted with distain but deep down their concealed some hidden dread.
Great whirpool.....
He gripped the hilt of the blade then spun around fiercely and a huge tornado compast of several different gases was formed . It continues to grow in size as the power mutiplies as well and thick layers of air was condensed as it came into being.
boooomm....
A huge shockwave resounded through the sky fierecely trembling the atmosphere in to chaos, simply not wanting it to be at ease.The horrible power clash made the area they fought paled in bleakness as the monstrous air spread out . The waves of the ocean galloped in the air wildly as both attacks are interwined which caused the atmospheric prssure to concave.
Joshua hurriedly retreated from the after effect of the collision but right when he was doing that his expression changed. Right that moment, Cancer appeared behind Joshua slashing his body in two.
