"100,000 Thousand Massacre Sword!" I roared, bringing my blade down with the force of a king's decree. The sky above us split as a massive wave of sword energy rushed toward Zoro, the very air trembling under its power.
Zoro crossed his swords and braced himself. "I'm not backing down!" he shouted, summoning all his reiatsu and elemental power into one final move.
"Cerebus' Wrath!" he cried, unleashing a combination of flame, ice, and lightning that merged into a colossal energy blast aimed straight at my attack.
All of his three swords, each bringing a different a elemental attack at an single location, maximize the attack.
The two forces collided in a cataclysmic explosion, the resulting shockwave tearing through the platform and sending massive waves crashing into the sea. We both stood firm, refusing to yield an inch as the clash of our powers sent ripples through the battlefield.
As the dust cleared, Zoro stood there with a deep gash running from his shoulder to his stomach, his left hand missing, blood dripping from his wounds. Despite the injuries, he remained on his feet, breathing heavily, a testament to his strength and willpower. I pointed my sword toward him.
"I won," I said calmly, and Zoro, exhausted but still proud, gave a slow nod of acknowledgment.
From the side, Vivi gasped in shock at Zoro's condition, while Luffy frowned, visibly upset to see his crewmate in such a state. I turned toward Luffy and spoke with a firm voice. "What are you standing there for? Fix him. You can do it now, right?"
Luffy's worried expression faded, his eyes lighting up as he remembered his newfound abilities. He hummed, clenching his fists as black and white cursed energy began to swirl around him. He approached Zoro, his aura radiating power and focus.
With a deep breath, Luffy extended his hand toward Zoro, and the cursed energy enveloped Zoro's body. The energy flowed through the deep gash, rapidly mending the torn flesh and bone. Zoro's severed hand began to regenerate, muscle and sinew knitting back together, until his arm was restored completely.
Though Zoro was capable of healing himself with his reiatsu, he had expended every bit of energy in our intense battle. Now, thanks to Luffy's Reversed Cursed Technique, Zoro's body was whole again. The wound was gone, leaving only a faint scar as a reminder of the clash.
Zoro rolled his shoulders and flexed his fingers, testing his newly healed body. He gave a quick nod to Luffy. "Thanks, Captain. Guess that new powers of yours isn't so bad after all."
Luffy grinned. "Shishishi! Just don't lose next time, Zoro."
I watched with interest, impressed by how quickly Luffy was mastering his powers. Turning back to Zoro, I smirked. "Not bad, Zoro. But remember, you'll need more than brute strength to beat me next time."
Zoro gripped his swords tightly, his eyes burning with determination. "I'll get stronger, and the next time we fight, I won't lose."
Thud!
"My turn next" Sanji said, appearing on the platform puffing up smoke.
"Sure," I nodded, and this time, I copied the Renewal Taekwondo from Sanji. I didn't have any unarmed combat techniques before, but now I did.
I closed my eyes for a moment, letting the knowledge of the taekwondo settle into my body. It felt like I had trained in it for years.
"Let's go," I said, as Sanji nodded, taking a deep puff and tossing away his cigarette. He rushed toward me, his speed impressive.
I got into a stance, ready to meet him. As our kicks collided, I smiled at him. Sanji's eyes widened in surprise as he saw my movements.
Sanji's eyes widened in surprise when he saw my move perfectly matching his kick. "You know it too?" he asked, mid-battle.
I smirked and nodded. "Of course. I was the one who sent you to that world, remember?"
He grinned, but there was a spark of competitiveness in his eyes. Sanji wasn't one to back down, especially not from a challenge like this. Without missing a beat, he launched a flurry of kicks, each faster and more precise than the last. His Black Leg Style combined seamlessly with Renewal Taekwondo, creating a unique blend of martial arts that was difficult to read.
But I was ready.
Matching his speed and power, I countered with the same techniques, deflecting his strikes with fluid movements. Each clash of our legs sent shockwaves through the air, our kicks echoing with impact. The platform beneath us trembled as the force of our battle grew more intense.
Sanji's eyes lit up with excitement as he unleashed a powerful spinning kick aimed at my head. I ducked, sidestepping just in time and returning with a swift counter-kick to his side. He blocked it with ease, his feet barely touching the ground as he twisted mid-air, coming at me from another angle.
"You're holding back, Sanji!" I called out, my voice cutting through the battle's intensity. "Show me what you really got!"
Sanji's grin widened, a glint of determination in his eyes. "You asked for it!"
In an instant, flames erupted around his legs as he activated Diable Jambe, his signature fiery technique. The temperature rose rapidly as his legs became engulfed in flames, each kick now carrying the power of fire with every strike.
I braced myself, meeting his fiery kicks with a newfound intensity. Our battle reached a new level as I pushed my body to match his power and speed, using the taekwondo techniques I'd copied. The heat of his flames clashed with my movements, but I wasn't backing down.
Sanji leaped into the air, his leg blazing with intense flames as he shouted, "Flaming Dragon Strike!" A massive oriental dragon of fire erupted from his kick, roaring as it charged toward me with ferocious speed.
I grinned, unfazed by the incoming attack. "Alright then, let's see how this goes," I muttered to myself before launching my own technique.
With a swift motion, I kicked the air, channeling my energy into a powerful Air Dragon Strike. A swirling dragon made of compressed air formed from my kick, coiling and spiraling toward Sanji's flaming dragon.
The two dragons collided in midair with a thunderous crash, the force of the impact shaking the entire battlefield. Fire and wind intertwined, each element trying to overpower the other. The heat from Sanji's flaming dragon met the cutting winds of my air dragon, creating an explosive shockwave that sent ripples through the sea beneath us.
