"Whoever you are! Get out here and fight!"
"Hmph. Such foul manner, Richie if you please."
A piercing beastly roar then shakes the very ground and air,
"uh oh"
A colossal cat, with snow-white fur, blood red eyes, jumps out from behind a red building, smashing it to little puny pieces,
"..."
"Wow, that's a big pussy cat, bigger than what I have seen."
"A cat?! Richie is no mere cat, he is a lion! You monkey brain!"
"By the way, what's that ugly white costume you're wearing?"
"Costume?! UGLY?! This is not a costume, it's my beautiful hair you straw hat buffon!"
"Hair? gross."
"Who the hell do you think you are you simpleton?! Don't you know who I am?"
"No idea."
"He's one of Buggy's top men, the beast tamer Mojajar."
"MOHJI! YOU OLD BUFFON!"
"Moje? You're a weird furry, old man."
"Furry?!"
…
"Are you ok furry old man?"
"RICHIE ATTACK!"
*GGGRRO* *swipe*
"Woah, that was close."
"Wait, sir Furry."
"MOHJI! YOU WANNABE KNIGHT!"
"We're sorry about calling you those names, sir."
"We're sorry?"
"Shut it Luffy! We're not looking for troubles, so can you forgive us?"
"And why should I do that?"
"Well um, you didn't come here just to fight right?"
"You're right, I came here to capture the straw hat kid and the swordsman, thanks to the ghost town, you all are very easy to find."
"Wait wait wait, look it's just a misunder-"
"Time for talking is over, see you in chains you- GAH!"
"Luffy! Why did you punch him?"
"What? He doesn't want to talk anymore."
"That doesn't mean you should hit him!"
"But he wants to fight us."
"Yeah but-"
"The straw hat boy is right, the Buggy Pirate is not one to take prisoners, so you, blonde knight, better be ready."
"BASTARD! RICHIE! TEAR THEM APART!"
The white beast, who stands by silently awaiting his furry master's order, lets out a thunderous roar,
"Alright, finally."
Charging straight at its enemy, expecting an easy meal, it opens its mouth, baring what seems like hundreds or thousands of teeth, all jagged with pointy ends that has ended many lives, its red eyes flare up with hunger just from looking at its prey, the red surface reflects the image of its victim and a distinct straw hat,
Chomping down when it is close enough, a bone-chilling crunch can be heard when both its top and bottom jaws make contact,
Blood dripping, each drop falling, splatting against the ground, painting it red, the broken piece of wood in the cat's mouth did,
"Lucky there's something there for me to grab onto."
Bellowing a cry of pain, as its blood flows freely, fill with unbridled rage, the beast's eyes now shine a sinister shade of red, it charges once more,
"Whoa!"
Learning from its mistake, instead of using its mouth to bite, it uses its claws to shred,
"Hey!"
Over,
"Stop that!"
And over again,
To its surprise, its prey jumps back, creating the necessary distance between them,
"Didn't know wood would piss you off that much."
*grrrr*
*cccrraacckk* the sound of knuckles pop, "Wonder who will walk out alive?"
*GGGRRRR*
"As if I will be devoured by you."
Both man and beast, lower their body into a stance, intimidating, watching, waiting for a movement from the other,
…
…
Tired of waiting, the beast takes the initial,
Once more, it charges forward, intending to end the fight quickly, displaying its many claws as a way to paralyse its foe with fear,
Its method works, for its foe, does not move a muscle,
Closer and closer it gets, still, the man does not move,
Closer and closer, until it is too late, jumping in the air and raising its titanic paw for the killing blow,
At that very moment, the man dashes sideways, moving out of harm's way,
"Gum-gum,"
Aiming,
"Pistol!"
No where to move, no where to dodge, the beast tanks a hit to the gut and flies through a wall with debris falling on it,
"Guess all animals follow the same pattern. Jaune! Get Zoro, we're going to find that lady."
*gggrrrr* a soft growl
"Fools! Did you think that a weak hit like that would put Richie down? Stand!"
Pushing itself up, it stands on its four legs,
"Richie is no ordinary lion, he's tougher and better than every beast in the world. Now Richie, finish what you have started."
Roaring a mighty roar, the beast charges once more,
"Again? Thought you would have learned by now."
Deciding it's about time the fight needs to end, for it is being drawn out to an unnecessary long period of time, the rubber man stretches his arms towards the beast in a twisted way,
Catching the beast off guard, the arms manage to grab hold one of the beast's leg and its mane,
Stun by the strange phenomenon before its very eyes, the only thing it can hear before everything spiral out of control,
"Gum-gum SPIRAL!"
Twirling and spinning, the beast spirals through the air, like a somewhat graceful swan trying to walk?
Letting go of the cat, it spirals in the air for few seconds, before falling down, landing on the pet store.
*woof?*
