Oak Island pt 2
"Damn old man you're pretty tough" Cyrus grunted as he pushed against Garou's hand moving him closer to the table.
"I can say the same, this is the first time I actually have to put in some effort" Garou grunted back as he tensed his muscles and pushed back stopping Cyrus's advanced pushing him back forcing the two of them upright.
"Cyrus has now lasted a whole hour against Garou and doesn't show any signs of stopping!" The handsome man exclaimed as he secretly wiped sweat away "Come on folks show him some love!"
The crowd of men roared and cheered Cyrus on as Garou began to move his hand closer to the table.
"You said your last name was Blackwood correct?" Garou asked as Cyrus inhaled quickly before pushing back to stop Garou's advance.
"Yeah why?" Cyrus asked as he started pushing back.
"Because that's the same last name of my of my old sparring buddy" Garou said as he watched his hand get closer to the table "You wouldn't happen to be related to him or something?"
"Yeah he's my granddad" Cyrus said as he pushed harder before his body jolted forward as Garou's hand stopped inches from the table surface.
"Then I should show him some respect and stop toying with you" Garou said before he pushed back which launched Cyrus's hand towards the table with a sudden amount of force as half of the table suddenly cracked which shocked everyone.
"A-And Garou has won!" The handsome man exclaimed with more joy in his voice than normal.
"Look closely before you go declaring a winner" Garou said as a smile formed on his face as the handsome man had to lean in close just to see that Cyrus's hand wasn't touching where the table was previously at.
"I see he taught you a thing or two?" Garou asked as he stared at the well toned muscles and veins on Cyrus's arm before staring at his face to see the grin forming on his face.
"Yeah you can say that" Cyrus said as he tightened his grip making Garou form a smile and increase his own grip.
"Folks this arm wrestling match just got a lot more interesting!" The handsome man shouted before secretly wiping away more sweat.
She has speed and skill, I give her that Izayami thought to himself as he ducked underneath one slash before quickly hopping back to avoid another But she's going to need more than that to beat me
Izayami turned himself to the side to avoid a thrust with her right knife and quickly slashed down at her extended arm but missed as she quickly spun around and swung her right leg around which just gazed the top of his head as he ducked down and slashed at her stationed leg.
But what made his eyes widen slightly was the fact she was able to leap over and away with just one leg to push off.
She must have incredible muscle control to be able to do that so quickly Izayami thought as he rushed forward while watching Alizeh land with a crouch.
"You're pretty good" Alizeh spoke as she blocked Izayami's downward slash "So lets see if you can handle this"
She said while pushing his sword back with a sudden amount of strenght which left him unbalanced for a second but that was all she needed to blitz forward and get past his guard before disappearing from his line of sight.
"Knife style, Trillion cuts" He heard her voice come from behind him before an explosion of pain washed over his body.
He's really good Alizeh thought as she watched his blood drip from the many wounds covering his body and was glad to see that didn't stop him from tightening his grip on his swords as he spun around so fast he became a spinning top again while she leapt back.
"Nitoryu, Burning Sparks!" Izayami shouted as he swung his swords in a circular motion just as he stopped spinning which sent out two waves of compressed air spiraling towards her.
A grin formed on her as she landed and crossed her arms in front of her.
"Great Terra Stance!" She shouted as the two compressed air blades slam into her arms which sent her skidding back into the thick forest while wisps of fire and sparks of electricity left a trail for a couple of seconds.
She could of dodged that Izayami thought as he rushed after her What is she planning?
What a strong attack, I can feel my arms starting to tingle Alizeh thought with a grin on her face as she pulled herself out of a large tree and patted her arms before taking out different color dials and released her wires making it weaved around her Lets see how he deals with a little quick thinking.
After that she vanished with a burst of speed leaving wires everywhere.
"Come on Cyrus you can beat him!" An overweight man yelled which got a roar of approval as both Cyrus and Garou are standing up as they currently lock up in the upright position.
"I see Darius trained you well otherwise your hand would of been shattered the moment I added more strenght" Garou said as he pushed forcing Cyrus's hand towards the table.
"He did, I actually thought about giving up at one point" Cyrus said as he pushed back slowly forcing Garou's hand to the table "Which only angered me since I was willing to give up so early"
Garou watched as his hand was quickly moving towards the table despite all pushing back with his strenght.
"So when I finally completed my training I made a promise to myself to keep trying to achieve my dream even if it means I have to tear my body apart to do so"
"Oh and what dream do you have to put yourself through all that pain?" Garou asked as he locked eyes with Cyrus and silently stared in shock and awe when a much younger Darius Blackwood appeared.
"Huh? why do I keep getting injured so much, I though you of all people would understand" Darius spoke as his grin grew wider before he slammed Garou's hand through the table shattering it to pieces "If I want to become the next Yonko I have to be crazy tough to beat the other Yonkos and world government, keep you and the rest of the crew safe and most of all make the world a safer place for my children and eventually grand children, now come on lets spar without holding back!"
"AND CYRUS IS THE WINNER!" The handsome man declared which made Darius image fade away to reveal a toothy grinning Cyrus who is raising his fist in the area.
Garou glanced down at his red stinging hand, the shattered pieces of the table then stared at Cyrus's raised fist to see that his wrist is broken but fixed it without a hint of pain on his face.
"Are you all right old man I didn't hurt you did I?" Cyrus asked as he tossed two medium size sacks into the crowd and threw one over his shoulder.
"N-No I'm fine, though can you tell me what your dream was again I spaced out for a second" Garou said as Cyrus simply flashed him a smile.
"Sure I said that I want to become the next pirate king" Cyrus said as Garou gave him a smile as he saw Darius standing next to him with a huge smirk on his face.
"Well seeing who your grandfather is I know you will become the king in no time" Garou said as he turned his head and stared at the crying handsome man.
"Well old man you better stay alive until then since I wanna spar with you instead of a arm wrestling match" Cyrus said as he made a fist making Garou chuckle.
"Oh yes I would love to test your combat strenght, now if you'll excuse me I have to comfort my grandson" Garou said with a smile as Cyrus watched him pat the handsome man on his head and walked off the stage.
"The sun's already setting" Cyrus muttered before a look of sudden shock appeared on his face "Oi old man do you know how to get to the tavern from here?!" Cyrus asked before a loud boom rung out as a large amount of smoke suddenly began to rise into the air "Actually can you tell me how to get to that smoke cloud from here?"
So she set up traps now! Izayami thought to himself as he rolled to a crouch and patted the burnt part of his kimono She's just full of surprises, though I better get to someplace more open to avoid anymore tricks.
With that Izayami quickly climbed up and tree and began to leap from tree branch to tree branch with rapid succession.
Damn even in the trees! He thought as his right leg brushed against a thread before loud rustling sound could be heard making him turn his head to see a large uprooted tree swing towards him How the hell did she uproot a tree that large!?
Izayami tightened his grip on Raikiri and slashed downwards easily slicing the tree root in half and was surprised to see a thread be sliced in half as well
She tied it to the tree as well, how much string does she have! Izayami thought as he glanced around and waited while something made his nose wrinkle.
"What your smelling is a flammable gas which a friend of mine taught me how to make" Alizeh voice came of from somewhere as Izayami landed on the ground and could now see the mist like cloud surrounding him and the surrounding area which made him break out in a sprint and only take a couple of steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
"You can't outrun it since despite smelling bad its also has traces of nerve paralyzing chemical in it to stop my opponents from leaving so soon"
From where Izayami was he could see a branch move and saw Alizeh standing tall with cocky grin on her face as she lit up a weird looking cigarette with a blood red lighter.
"Now if you somehow manage to survive the explosion which might I add is a big one, then I would seriously consider joining your two man crew" Alizeh said as she exhaled purple smoke and tossed her still flaming lighter at Izayami's direction before the enter area a few feet in front of her was engulfed in a huge fiery explosion as the shockwave was strong enough to bend trees backwards.
"I might of actually overdone it" Alizeh said as she stared at the thick black cloud surrounding the area before a pair of snow white colored fox ears suddenly appeared on the top of her head and her nose transformed into a shiny black dog like nose.
Her ears twitched and nose wrinkled before she let out a sigh.
"It reeks of burnt flesh and I can't hear him, A shame really I might of actually enjoyed being part of a pirate crew" She said before exhaling another puff of purple smoke and hopped off the tree branch.
She reeled in her wires and placed the unused dials in a sack attached to her waist as her fox ears went back inside her head and her dog nose turned into a human one again.
"I wonder how he's captain will take the bad news, actually I don't think he every told me what his captain looks likes" She said as she walked away from the blast zone with her hands in her pockets.
"ITTORYU!" A voice suddenly yelled making her freeze in place "SLASH OF THE SCORCHING LION!"
Alizeh whizzed around and stared at a large lion with a fire mane sprinting towards her while holding a jagged sword in its mouth.
Despite this whole situation being totally weird, I can now smell his scent coming from the cat which means this must be some kind of illusion to hide his movements Alizeh thought as she tensed the muscles in her arms He's also moving slower than before which must be from the explosion or the style of the attack itself either way I can get him off balance again and crush him.
Alizeh watched the lion race towards and snarled with fire glowing in its eyes before it suddenly turned into a wisp of fire and disappeared making her eyes widen as she heard a roar and spin around to see the now burning sword inches from her face.
How did he get behind me so fast! She thought as she quickly regained her composure and tightened her grip on her knives but was surprised once again when the sword wasn't moving to slice her and a hand was on the lion's arm holding it in the air.
"Izzy I'm glad you found someone strong enough to fight but you shouldn't kill yourself to win" A calm voice said from behind the burning lion which made Alizeh stare in silence as the flame beast faded away to reveal a soot covered Izayami who is dripping blood and has patches of bright red skin where his kimono has burned away.
"I can still fight so let go" Izayami growled as he held his sword tightly and took a single step forward.
"I know you can but your old wounds have already opened up which doesn't make this a fair fight" The voice said as Alizeh glanced at Izayami's body to see that he is pouring blood from bullet wounds on his left arm and right leg "Go take a rest"
"Fine, be careful she uses traps and quite fast" Izayami muttered as he sheathed his swords and sat against a tree before falling asleep.
"Got it, so you're our new nakama then?" Cyrus asked as he glanced at Alizeh.
"I would be if he managed to beat me" Alizeh said before a smirk formed on her face "but that challenge still applies to you since you are the captain"
"Sure and what happens if I can't?" Cyrus asked.
"Well Izzy over there agreed to both of you giving up on being pirates" Alizeh said as she saw Cyrus glance at Izayami before a large grin formed on his face.
"If that's the case then I should fight you without holding back" Cyrus said before releasing the sack and rotating his arms "And to make sure you come at me with all your strenght if you win you can have ten thousand berri"
"I could buy some nice things with that much money, alright its a deal" Alizeh said as she spun her daggers around before getting into her fighting stance "Lets fight"
The moment those words left her mouth she stared in silent shock at the fist which is a couple of inches away from her face. She twisted her body and managed to turn out of the way which made Cyrus's fist graze the tip of her nose before she leapt back.
If my body didn't move by itself I would of been in serious trouble Alizeh thought as she stared at Cyrus who lowered his fist This guy is way different from the swordsman
"Wow you actually managed to evade that punch" Cyrus said with a happy tone "I'm glad Izzy chose you to join us"
"I haven't joined yet!" Alizeh shouted as she rushed towards Cyrus and blitzed around him before landing a high kick to the right side of his neck which didn't seem to faze him as he spun around with a spinning back fist which missed as she quickly used her other foot to kick off his arm.
I nearly broke my foot with that attack, I might actually have to use my powers against him Alizeh thought as a smile formed on her face as she rushed towards Cyrus with her knives at the ready.
And that's the end of the second chapter with Cyrus's turn at fighting Alizeh. In the next chapter the world government learns of old and new threats.
