Reunion and revealed feelings

Chapter 6: Past meets present

Kasai couldn't help but be shocked. Could this young man be who he says he is?

"I'll spear you the time to think. Yes, I am Rugal Bernstein's son. And I think you know why I'm here." said the blond man.

"Enlighten me...." replied Kasai.

"You killed my father. I'm here to return the favor."

Just then, he stretched his arms, took them to his back and then brought them in front of him. A grey energy sphere formed and Adel shot it at Kasai. She dodged by rolling under it and the sphere hit the wall. Kasai was on one of her knees and looked at the wall that was the victim of the sphere: there was a huge hole in it. Just then she heard Adel say "Kaiser Wave" and when she turned to face him an energy wave hit her straight on and she dropped to the ground.

"KASAI!" yelled both Ace and Luffy.

The other pirates, seeing this young man's power decided they loved life and started getting as away from the Summit Building as possible.

Kasai slowly got up and started smiling.

"Is this all Rugal Bernstein's son can do?" she taunted him.

Adel got mad and shot two more smaller energy waves. One from the floor up to Kasai's knees and the other was from her neck and slightly went above her head. She jumped over the first one and when the second one came, she bent her body in mid air so that she wouldn't get hit. But Adel shot another wave right after Kasai jumped over the first one, this wave being from the floor up to Kasai's head. She could do nothing to avoid it and she was hit.

Kasai fell once more to the floor. The most damage was done to her torso, where her jacket was completely ripped off. Luckily she had a T-shirt under that jacket.

She started to get up again.

"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" Luffy tried to get past the wall that was between him and his brother and Kasai, but to no avail.

"It's no use, Luffy. You can't get past that wall." said Kasai looking at him and Ace after she got to her feet.

"Jade Flames, I'm disappointed!" Kasai turned to where Adel was, but he was no longer there. "You of all people should know that it's not wise......" she turned to look in the other direction, nothing. "...... to not pay attention to your opponent!" she looked up slowly and a pair of feet met with her chest and stomach, and she was plunged into the ground.

"KASAI!!!!" Luffy and Ace thought of the worst.

Adel got off Kasai. He took her by the neck and raised her. But he didn't squeeze his hand; maybe he wanted to make Kasai die a painful death or maybe he was thinking how could she kill his father if she couldn't beat him.

Suddenly, Kasai grabbed Adel's arm, kicked him in the stomach and then threw him over her shoulder.

Luffy and Ace were speechless. She was still alive.

Kasai was breathing hard and looking at Adel.

"Maybe you won't believe me, but I never wanted to kill your father. I found out he was killing innocent people and I went to talk to him; maybe I could have convinced him to stop. But he didn't want to listen; he attacked me and I had to protect myself. I never intended this to happen." she confessed.

"You liar! DIE!" and Adel rushed at Kasai, ready to continue the fight. Kasai got in a defensive stance and Adel seeing this, he grabbed her with his arm. He turned around and rushed towards the wall he came from and smashed Kasai into it. She wanted to scream from the pain but all the air was knocked out of her lungs and she desperately tried to replace it. Adel let her go and Kasai slid down the wall and she dropped to one side.

Ace and Luffy couldn't believe it. Kasai wasn't moving nor did she show any signs of breathing.

"Come on, Kasai! Get up! "said Ace in his mind.

"You bastard! You killed her!" yelled Luffy at Adel.

"She was hardly worth the effort." replied Adel coldly.

Just then, a green light started to glow around Kasai; she started to get up.

"Finally! You're not gonna hold back any more!" said Adel pleased and he charged at her.

Kasai brought her leg up faster than anyone could see and kicked Adel in the chin, sending him into the air. When he was coming down and he was in reach, Kasai did the same thing two more times, but this time her leg was covered in jade flames. Adel fell to the floor and his clothes were on fire.

He managed to put out the fire and got to his feet. He charged at Kasai once again. Kasai brought her hands in front of her and made a big jade ball of flames, which she sent at Adel. It hit him straight on and she threw two flame waves at him too. Adel fell to floor, unable to move.

The fire that was on him extinguished itself. Adel looked at Kasai.

"You may have won now, but I'll return. I won't rest until I avenge my father!" and a gast of wind picked him up and he was gone.

Kasai remained looking after him. "Please, understand. "

The invisible wall disappeared.

Just then, Kasai started to feel really weak. Her vision became dark and she started to collapse. Before she could hit the ground, Ace caught her.

Kasai could hear Luffy and Ace calling her, but her hearing was soon gone.
