Chapter 7- Zoro

"Oni Giri." Slashing across his chest, a cross of blood began to form, dripping down Doberman's chest, he replied in kind.

"Biting Jab." Drawing his sword back, he struck forward stabbing at me 8 times, leaving the impression of a bite mark in my chest.

"Ittoryu, 360 Pound Ho." Launching a blast of compressed air at Doberman , striking his chest it causes a slash shaped wound to appear.

"How can you break through my Haki so easily?" Shouted Doberman, "With it my skin is like steel, and I know you aren't using Haki."

"I am the man who can cut steel, Ittoryu Iai." Sheathing my blades I held Wado Ichimonji. "Shi Shishi Sonson." Quickly striking out with my sword I slice the Vice Admirals sword in half before sheathing my blade.

"You destroyed my sword, that was solid steel."

"This fight is over." I say, charging forward I attempt to slash Doberman, but he dodged. "Stay still."

"Do you really think that this fight is over, just because I am weaponless." He turned to face me. "Why do you think they call me Doberman?"

"Shit, you're a devil fruit user aren't you?"

"Inu Inu no Mi: Model Doberman." He said, transforming into a half man, half doberman. He had black fur and a dogs snout, his hands and feet transformed into paws, extending his claws he pounces towards me. Slashing at my chest I block his paw with Wado Ichimonji.

"Fury Strike." Slicing multiple times he cut my shoulder's and stomach as he kicked me with his leg. "Bite Lunge." Throwing his head forward he tried to bite my head, I moved my head and leapt backwards.

Sheathing Wado Ichimonji I gripped it and Shusui. "Nitoryu Iai." Drawing my swords, I slash with both before sheathing them again.

I was met midway by Doberman with his own attack. Bringing down both paws we meet in the middle.

"Rending Claws."

"Rashomon."

Clashing in the middle, rips in the ground appeared around us. Two in front of me, four behind me. Several buildings were damaged and destroyed. Jumping backwards I run to the side drawing all my swords. "Rankyaku." Doberman shouted, swinging his leg, sending a curve of air at me. I jumped over the blast and replied in kind.

"Nitoryu. 720 Pound Ho." Striking out with Sandai Kietsu and Shusui I send air blasts out at Doberman, he dodges with Soru and strikes back at me.

"Rankyaku: Machine Gun." Dropping into a sumo like stance, Doberman began punching the air rapidly, sending out hundreds of air blasts at me I begun running towards the remains of the old police station, buildings exploding behind me. Getting showered by rubble, I run past a group of Pacifista who are bearing down on Brook.

Kicking Brook out of the way I run past the Pacifista, them being destroyed by the air blasts. Moving towards Doberman I prepare an attack, "Santoryu." Putting my swords in the 12 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions I begin spinning them. "Twelve Thousand Worlds." Ducking under his arms I open up several slashes along his arms before opening a large slash along his stomach.

"Those who's attacks are without distinction, is no warrior at all." He launches at me without slowing, he struck my blades with considerable force, turning my body I force him away and send him flying underneath the part of the candy factory which was still standing. Jumping after him I perform a downwards slash on Doberman, he back steps to avoid slash. "Stand still you bastard."

"I will not fall to pirate scum like you."

"You are the scum, attacking indiscriminately, destroying your own men."

"Absolute Justice is the only way. Justice at all costs means that the losses are acceptable."

Then happened something that I did not expect, lightning shot through the metal roof of the factory and struck both of us sending us flying away from each other. Pushing myself up I look at my blackened state, "Damn you Nami."

Jumping up I look at Doberman who is pulling himself up also. "What was that?"

"Our stupid navigator, always interfering with my fights. Although this is the first time she's electrocuted me."

"Sounds like she's trouble, much like Nid is to me."

"What's the worst she can d…" suddenly we are both peppered with small black hairs.

"Things like this." Staggering backwards he falls over as his foot gets caught in a spiders web.

"Well both of our pains have interfered, looks like you are worse off though." Suddenly another, much larger bolt of lightning came out of the ceiling striking my and leaving me lying on the ground.

Slashing the web around his foot Doberman walked up to me. "Who is worse off now." Picking me up he propped me against the wall. "Jabbing Claws." He started stabbing me with his claws multiple times, leaving a series of bleeding holes in my chest. "Rokogan." Putting his fists against my chest he shouted, "Cannon." He sends a blast through my chest, I feel several ribs crack. The wall behind me begins to crumble, "Cannon." I feel several more ribs crack, this time the whole wall collapses covering us in rubble. Bursting out of the rubble, Doberman jumps backwards to avoid the falling section of roof. I hear Nami screaming on top of it, I stand up, blood seeping from the wounds in my chest.

Dust swirls around me, going in my eyes, a great weight on my back. I endure and stay standing. "What are you?" I hear Doberman say, raising my eyes I see that Nami is sliding off the roof pulling Sophie with her.

"Nami, you bastard. YOU SHOCKED ME TWICE!"

"Well it was your fault for standing under a metal roof when I use lightning based attacks."

"Get out of my way then, while I kill this bastard." She picked up Sophie and began to move into one of the buildings, turning towards Doberman I throw the roof off of my back onto him. He catches it.

"How could you hold this with your injuries." Slicing through the roof, I slash to the bone of his shoulder. Flipping over him I remove my sword while slicing open his back.

Landing I buckle over coughing up blood, "Shit that attack did more damage than I thought. I need to finish this quickly."

"It looks like you are on your last legs Roronoa Zoro. Ultimate technique." Drawing his arms back Doberman dropped into a low stance and pounced forward. "Rankyaku, Guard Dog Strike." Landing on me he struck me with Rankyaku from all 4 limbs before biting me in the shoulder. "Why don't you go down. No one has ever been able to stay standing after so many Rankyaku's."

Throwing him off I prepare my swords. Dark energy begins pulsing around me. "Demon of the 9 blades. Asura." Two copies of my body appear out of my body. "Kyutoryu." Pulling my 9 blades back I prepare. "3240 Pound Ho." Swinging forward I send a large blast of compressed air at Doberman striking him in the chest he is sent flying backwards, smashing through several houses. Bouncing along the ground he strikes a rock and is sent high into the air. I charge at him. "Kyutoryu, Ushi Bari." Pointing all my swords towards him I charge forward. "Stampede."

I strike him full on, stabbing him 6 times and slicing him 3. He gets sent flying towards the bay. Skimming on the water he splashes down next to the last marine ship and begins to sink. "Thank you for the fight."

I allow the energy to dissipate from around me, my extra bodies disappeared and I sheathed my blades. Walking over to the building where Nami ran in, I find her crouched inside applying bandages to Sophie. "Who hurt her so bad?"

"Captain Tashigi"

"What! Tashigi is here, that means Smoker will be as well."

"I haven't seen him yet."

"Luffy or Aokiji will have to deal with him."

Grabbing some bandages I begin to wrap my wounds. "I guess that this is the doctors."

"Yeah. Zoro something strange happened in the battle with Tashigi."

"Oh?"
