Another One Bit The Dust
Zoro clenched his teeth and dust was thrown into his eyes. He could fight without his eyes, but stinging and burning along with blindness was a nuisance. He felt the air shift as Eric lifted his hand. Feeling him begin to strike his arm down, Zoro rolled left and tipped off the building.
"Shit!" Zoro cursed, hanging onto the building's edge. Eric stood over him, and Zoro could feel his triumphant sneer.
"The tables have turned, Roronoa Zoro!" Eric laughed with glee. He brought his foot up, and stomped as quick as he could. Dust clouded up, filling Zoro's eyes, mouth and nose; choking him. Zoro reached forwards, gasping, and grasped Eric's ankle. Eric continued to stomp, oblivious, until Zoro grabbed his ankle to hard it crunched. He howled in pain.
"No sword-style..." Zoro rasped.
"Eh?" Eric leaned down to deliver a slash. The Sickle Sickle fruit was the source of his power - and nobody without Devil Fruit powers would stand between him and eternal life! Wind tore Zoro's shirt, and when Zoro felt his skin split he clenched his teeth. Then he smirked. Opening his mouth, he leaned forwards. Zoro grimaced, before biting down onto Eric's leg.
"Mmph..." Zoro grunted as he yanked Eric to the floor. Eric landed with a thump, winded, but the pain in his leg was excruciating.
"Get off!" Eric scrabbled at Zoro's neck and face, but Zoro wouldn't comply. Eric screamed as he felt his knee dislocate. "Gyaaaaa!" Eric felt blood pouring down his leg. Looking at Zoro, he felt like he was staring at a real demon. Eyes shadowed ad dark underneath the black bandanna, mouth dripping blood, he was a true devil. Zoro finally couldn't breath from all the blood, so he opened his mouth and sat back as Eric shrieked in pain and horror.
"Y-you...!" Eric stammered fearfully.
"Me," Zoro replied calmly.
"You bit me!" Eric screeched. "Take this!" Eric's arms were blurs as he waved them. Wave after wave of sharp attacks sliced Zoro's skin, but Zoro saw Eric's leg shaking. He knew that if he withstood a few more attacks, Eric would fall. As he predicted, Eric collapsed. Before Zoro could attack him, an ominous sentence stopped him.
"Gum Gum..." Zoro's eyes widened.
"Shit! No-" A hand grabbed his shirt collar. Eric watched in surprise as Zoro was yanked away. "AAAAGGGGHHHH!"
