Robin alighted herself from the ceiling with a rope made out of her hands. She pushed her sunglasses up on her forehead and glared evilly at the female Marine Captain.
Tashigi stared in shock at the Russian beauty. Her shock turned to anger as she pulled out her katana.
"You're Nico Robin of the Straw Hat Pirates! I'm here to kill you!"
"Do you want to kill me because I'm a Pirate," Robin asked, "or because you want Roronoa Zoro?"
Tashigi blushed and scowled the Pirate. "What would I want with Roronoa!? All he sees me as is the weaker arm!"
Robin chuckled. "I've seen the way you scowl each other, the way he gently attacks you with his sword, the way you lightly smile at his swordsmanship. Don't be embarrassed, Marine-chan. You and my friend make a cute couple." She jumped down from her rope and sprouted her hands on her elbow. "But I have no intention of giving my Zoro to you."
Tashigi lost the blush and grew angry. "Well then... I'm sure Roronoa would want a strong woman. Let's see which one of us deserves him!"
Robin chuckled again. "Sounds like fun. Cien Fluers! Clutch!"
She started choking Tashigi, but after a split second, Tashigi cut Robin's hands off and went for a chop at her head. Robin blocked them with a shield made out of hands.
"Slap!"
She slapped Tashigi to the ground, and her glasses fell off.
"Glasses...! Where're my glasses!?"
Robin sprouted several hands and slammed Tashigi into a wall.
Tashigi charged again and struck Robin with her sword. Robin retaliated by sprouting a tree made out of her hands and knocking Tashigi against the ceiling.
"... You're alright? What a tough oponent."
Tashigi squinted. She could just barely make out the tall figure of the cuvey woman. In the corner of her eye, she saw her glasses. She made a duck for them, but Robin used her limbs to smack her into the wall again.
The Marine slowly got up. Through her blury vision, she saw a hand hold up her glasses.
"Take them," Robin said. "I'll get bored if my opponent cannot fight me."
Tashigi slipped on her glasses and stood up, tightly gripping her katana.
She went for a strike to the head, which Robin blocked easily. "Slap!" Robin hit Tashigi against the ground. "Clutch."
Tashigi screamed in pain as her bones began to break. One of Robin's hands pressed against Tashigi's belt, and she cringed, vaporizing her hands.
"... Sea Prism Stone...?"
Tashigi took the moment to slash her across her stomach, making her fall to the ground. "Yes, Nico. My belt is made out of Sea Prism stone to protect my precious Katana."
Robin chuckled and stood up, holding her bleeding stomache. "Maybe you should make one of those belts for Zoro," she said. "I'm sure he'll want your protection."
Tashigi's anger grew. What was this feeling she felt? Did she actually love the Pirate? She went for another strike, but Robin smacked her into the wall with a giant hand.
Robin sprouted her hands and held Tashigi up towards the ceiling. Without warning, she dispersed her hands, letting her fall on the hard floor.
"I'm so sorry, Marine-chan," she said coldly. "But... Zoro's mine. And I'm not sharing, even if you ask. Mill Fluers! Gigantis Mono! Stomp!"
Robin's attack froze when it was inches above Tashigi. She dispersed her giant legs and fell on her knees. Wrapped around Robin's ankels was the belt.
Tashigi stood up and fixed her glasses. She pulled out her sword and slashed Robin across the back. Robin fell on the floor, bleeding heavily.
"... Roronoa Zoro..." Tashigi picked up her belt and wrapped it around her sword and waste. "... cannot go to someone weaker than me."
Robin looked up and smiled. She sprouted her hand on Tashigi's chest and held it out towards her.
"Then take care of him for me, Marine-chan. You won him fare and square."
Tashigi smirked and slapped Robin's hand.
"It'll be my pleasure. Thanks for the fight, Devil Child."
