One Piece Fanfic: The Jagaimo Island Story Arc

Tashigi gripped her sword as she charged towards Krull. As she glared at him, she could not get over his appearance.
"Roronoa..." She whispered to herself.
Once she was close to Krull, she raised her sword and slashed viciously, but he quickly leaped out of the way and slashed her way.
"Aiiee!!" Tashigi screeched as she raised her sword and blocked the attack.
"Not bad.." Krull complimented her as he pushed his sword down against her own.
"Your not so bad yourself!" She grunted back as she pushed the sword back up.
He's not fighting as well as Roronoa. Why not? Tashigi thought to herself.
Krull quickly ducked to Tashigi's side and made a desperate swipe at her chest, but once again she managed to block the incoming attack.
Roronoa was more fierce than him.. Is he holding back?
Tashigi knocked Krull's blade away and slashed at his face.
Krull's eyes widened as Tashigi's sword cut the bandana off his head.
"Whew, that was close... But you'll have to do better than that!" He laughed.
Tashigi smiled and leped back. "No problem!"
He's less graceful than Roronoa.. He's slower as well.. But why?
Tashigi was knocked out of deep thought by the sight of Krull's sword coming straight at her.
"Whoa!" She cried as she dodged the sword and slashed at Krull's waist. Once again, she managed to cut his clothes.
Krull leaped back and peered into Tashigi's eyes.
Theres something about Zoro that she can fight.. I have to lay my hand on her.. He thought to himself as she watched Tashigi taking some deep breaths.
"Tired already?" He jokingly asked.
"Not at all!" She replied with a smile as she clenched her sword and charged at him.
Make her think I am going for her legs.. Then grab her arm..
As Tashigi approached, Krull thrusted his sword right at Tashigi's face. She quickly raised her sword and blocked it. He grinned as he took one arm off his sword and grabbed Tashigi's arm.
"W-What.. Hey.." She groaned as she took an arm off of her own sword. Krull quickly leaped over Tashigi's head and landed with a gentle thud.
She quickly spun around to see herself standing in front of her.
"So thats how you do it.." She sneered as she sliced at her mirror image.
Krull jumped out of the way and sliced at Tashigi's wrist. She blocked this and then reached for Krull's leg. Krull looked down and spotted this, but he did so a little too late. Down he came on Tashigi and the two of them rolled in the sand and behind a sand dune.
The marines waited anxiously for a minute or two until Tashigi stood up, breathing heavily. She pulled her glasses out of her pocket and slid them onto her face.
"D-Damn it!" She cried after a moment as she looked around.
"Sergeant! Whats wrong?" A marine asked as he took a step forward.
"That pirate.. He got away." She sighed as she turned her gaze to the woods.
A few marines exchanged glances and then one turned to face Tashigi, who was still about twenty feet away and behind the sand dune.
"We'll go after him!" He exclaimed as he ran to the woods, followed by the other six or seven marines. Tashigi brushed the sand off her coat and looked down at the ground. "Sorry if any of that got on you." She giggled as "she" looked at herself.
Keiko's eyes widened. "Krull.. Is that you over there?"
"I didn't think that marines were so stupid!" He laughed as he rubbed the back of his head. He picked Tashigi up and sat her against a tree and then ran over to Keiko.
"Hold your arms out, I'll cut you free." He informed her.
Keiko held her arms out and watched Krull bring Tashigi's sword down upon the chains which snapped in the middle. Krull repeated this with the handcuffs on Keiko's feet. Immediately after, Krull helped her up and gave her a warm hug. "I'm sorry.. That I wasn't there for you.." He said as he kissed her lips softly.
Keiko smiled. "Let's get off this island."
"No, not yet.." Krull said as he let go of Tashigi and stepped back. "I have to go find that Smokey bastard and convince him to get off the island somehow.. I will help Luffy and the others to that extent, then we will leave."
"But.." Keiko blinked a few times. "How are you going to convince him?"
Krull smiled as he adjusted his glasses. "You are forgetting who I look like!"
