"Why does it always rain when something bad about to happen?" Willis thought to himself while staring at the sky. The others stood at the entrance of Arlong Park, staring at the two swords wielders. Nami looked at arlong park, remembering how her captain, Zoro, and her other crew mates came and rescued her and her town people from that merman called arlong. she also remember the time she spent in that damn map room Arlong put her in. drawing maps for countless hours. In fact, her fist time in that place it was raining.
"This is an Omen…" Nami thought holding and umbrella. "I really got a bad feeling about this."
Nami also had given the rest some umbrellas as well. The only one who didn't take one was Willis, he stay in the rain in the same spot not moving an inch. Mikashi stared at the bandanna wearing pirate and wonder why he is still in the rain. "Willis-kun…" Mikashi spoke, "don't you want to get out of the rain?"
"I'm fine…" Willis spoke. "I feel that if I move…something will happen that I won't be able to do.
The two swords wielder stared each other down. Astusmi lifted her sword while holding her shield close to her face. Zoro held one sword in one of his arms. "Why don't you use that Santoryuu style your famous for Zoro?" Astusmi spoke.
"I won't waste my technique or someone like you." Zoro said, "I only use them if I feel like it."
Astusmi smirked, "very well, that will make your death much easier!"
Astusmi charged towards Zoro ready to strike. She looked at Zoro and noticed something strange, Zoro had his eyes close. "The hell….why is his eyes close. Is he trying to mock me?!" she thought. Astusmi lifted her sword in the air swung her sword downward. However, Zoro block the attack above him with his sword. Astusmi face made a surprised expression when Zoro block the attack, "how…he had his eyes close. Hoe did he block that attack!?"
"Do you see…?" Zoro said while he slowly opened his eyes, "you can't defeat me…at this level."
Zoro lifted his sword to counter Astusmi sword as it was on his sword. Zoro the move his Sword for a horizontal slice on Astusmi right. Astusmi moved her shield and blocked the attack coming towards her right. As Zoros sword clashed with Astusmi shield, Astusmi felt a stinging pain in her blocking arm. She looked and noticed that blood was coming from her blocking hand. Her eye widen as she realized why it was bleeding, "n-no way…is he so strong that a shield wont even block his sword attack!?" Astusmi shook her head to clam herself down, "clam down, I still have my move's to use to attack him…I will not lose here!" with Astusmi free hand and sword in that Hand, Astusmi pulled her claymore to the side and yelled "Kaze kire!" she move her sword to slice zoro, but Zoro dodge the attack, flipping behind Astusmi.
The wind Astusmi cutted made it way to the wall. Once it hit the wall it made a cut mark in the wall. The others look at the cut mark in the wall, "damn, she a strong woman." Nami spoke. "Even I couldn't cut wind."
"Astusmi is strong!" Mikashi spoke, "she'll beat this Zolo guy or whatever his name is!"
"Miss…" Nami spoke "I'll forgive you for saying that because you're young. However know this…" Nami ten pointed to Zoro as he and Astusmi fought with their swords. "That man, he trained all his life just so he could be the strongest. Now that he is the strongest, he can't lose to anyone. Someone like your friend might not stand a chance."
"But…" Mikashi was about to speak, however Jon interrupted before she could get out what she want to say, "Miss Mika…she has a point. To be honest, if their captain wasn't alive from the get go, he probably be the pirate king of this world."
"Pirate king…" Mikashi spoke. "This guy….is he that strong?" Mikashi then stared at Astusmi and Zoro as they fought with each other. "Astusmi….please make it out of here alright."
"Itorryuu Iai…." Astusmi put her sword in her sheet, she then charged towards Zoro at fast speed "taka Degeki!"Astusmi slice trough Zoro with her claymore. But Astusmi noticed that the quick slice she did was no damage to Zoro. "He blocked it?!" Astusmi thought while she turned around, only to find that Zoro is standing in front of her. "How did he?!" Before Astusmi could get ready for a block, Zoro slashed her chest/torso region. Astusmi gave a quick yell of pain as Zoro sliced through her before jumping back a few feet to dodge another attack. He held her chest as the blood started running down her chest.
"Astusmi!" Mikashi yelled out.
Willis just stood and watches, only cringing at that last attack that Zoro did on Astusmi. Meanwhile Nami turned to her sister, "Nojiko…." Nami said getting Nojiko's attention. "Could you go back to the house and get medical supplies for me."
"Medical supplies?" Nojiko said.
"Also make sure you contact the doctor as well." Nami said, "tell him it an emergency."
Nojiko nod her head and started to run in the rain to get medical supplies, and contact a doctor. Nami turned back to the fight between Zoro and Astusmi and continued to watch the fight. Astusmi charged towards Zoro and got ready to strike him again. However, as soon as she swung her sword. Zoro disappeared in a quick flash and appeared behind Astusmi, slicing her back. Astusmi dropped her sword and feel to knees.
"This can't be…" Astusmi said to herself, "are we own a whole different level….is what all I train for worthless?!"
"Do you see now…?" Zoro spoke, "you can't defeat me."
"Shut up…" Astusmi said breathing heavy. "I will beat you Zoro, for what you did." Astusmi tried to pick herself up, but she kept falling to the ground as she struggle to get up.
"For what I did…" Zoro said while he raised an eyebrow, "are you stupid or something, it was your farther fault for being the strongest in the world. It not like I just want to randomly kill him." Zoro stared at his white sheeted sword, remembering why he said he would be the strongest in the world. "I made a promise for a friend of mine, that I will be the worlds strongest for both of us. I had no choice but do it."
"A promise huh?" Astusmi said while she finally was able to pick herself up with her knees. "Well…I can't say I made any promise like that. I didn't have anybody to promise to." Astusmi then grabbed the handle of her sword. "But, you also said you had no choice in the matter right?" Astusmi ten picked herself up on her feet, letting go of her shield and holding her claymore in both of her hands. "If you had no choice but to fulfill you friend dream, then I got no choice because my Dream is to kill the one who slain the only thing that mattered to me!!!!"
Zoro smirked at the SPEECH Astusmi just gave him, "heh, you know, you kind of remained me of my young self. Let me ask you something, are you willing to fight for your dream even if you life was on the line?"
"Damn right I would…." Astusmi said, "If I can't defeat you then I rather be struck down right now!"
"Very well then…." Zoro said. Zoro then grabbed his other two swords. He put his prized sword in his mouth and the other one in his hand. "You deserve to see my Santroyuu style, but before I strike you down. Tell me your name woman."
"My name is Astusmi…" she said, "I don't care about wealth, fame or power….all I care about is achieving my goal!"
"Good answer…" Zoro said, he crossed his arms and took a stance, "Santoryuu…."
"I'll hit him with my best attack…" Astusmi thought.
The rain poured harder then it did before. Everyone stared, holding their breath to whatever the outcome might be of this match. Astusmi and Zoro stood as they waited for the first one to make their final move. Astusmi lifted her sword and yelled, "Kaze no Shuuha!" unleashing a wave a wind that broke the ground below it.
"Oni…." Zoro charge through Astusmi's attack, breaking the Kaze no shuuha as he stormed through Astusmi attack, "Gli!"
Astusmi closed her eyes, "Father….I'm Sorry."
Zoro sliced through Astusmi sending her in the air as blood came through her mouth and out her body. Blood also came from her chest torso region as Astusmi body fell into the pool that Arlong Park had before it. Zoro put his swords in his sheaths as Astusmi fell into the water. Zoro then walked out of Arlong Park and headed back to the village.
Mikashi and Willis looked horrified as Astusmi fell into the pool of water. "Astusmi!" Mikashi said while she had her hand over her hand. Willis ran towards the pool while also yelling Astusmi's name. Willis jumped into the pool of water hoping to save Astusmi, however he forgot that he can't swim due to he devil fruit power so he started to sink as well. Willis seen Astusmi body sinking into the depth of the water.
"Astusmi…." Willis thought, "Damn…I….can….swim!"He tried moving his arm to swim but it was no use, Willis sank to the bottom along with Astusmi.
-----------
"What do you mean he can't swim!?!?" Nami yelled at Mikashi.
"I'm sorry!" Mikashi said as she filched for a bit. "He has a devil fruit…so he can't swim"
Nami begin to take her shoes off, she was going to jump in and try to save the two before they fell to their doom. As soon as she stood up however, Jon stops her from moving by putting his hand in front of her. "Just wait a sec miss Nami…" Jon said. "By now they are at the bottom of the pool. Carrying that much weight will drown you as well. It best not to go."
"Bastard…" Nami said, "You just don't want to save them because their pirates, I didn't think the government would stoop so low as to let someone die."
"Government?" Mikashi thought, "this guy is world government?!"
Jon then walked over to Mikashi, taking his Capone style hat and put it on top of her. "Hold this for me." he said. He then walked over to the pool of Arlong Park making Nami and Mikashi wondering what is he about to do. "Just what is he planning?" Nami thought. Then leaned on the edge of the pool while on his knees. He rolled up his sleeves "I forgot what power I had, but now I remember." Jon said, and that when the strangest thing happen.
Jon arm literately sunk into the ground.
"Fuse!"
Nami and Mikashi wondered what Jon was doing at the moment. Until they seen a stone hand risen from the water. "What is that?!" Nami said.
"It looks like…a...stone hand?" Mikashi narrowed her eye so she could get a better look. She seen Willis and Astusmi lying on the stone hand. The stone hand moved to the ground near them and place them on the ground. Jon then moved his hand from the ground as the stone hand disappeared. Jon then walked over to the bodies as they lay on the ground motionless, he walked over to check their pulse to see if there are alive. Mikashi and Nami ran over, dropping their umbrellas and running in the rain.
"Willis….Astusmi…." Mikashi eyes gotten watery as she seen her two Namaka lying on the ground. One was bloody from head to toe, the other looks like he'd drown. "Their not…not…."
"We'll one is barley alive and need medical attention as soon as possible." Jon said.
"What about this guy?" Nami asked while she tried to get the water out of Willis's body.
"Leave that to me…" Jon then bawled his fist up and called out "Tekkai!" making his body hard as iron. He then proceeds to punch Willis in his stomach. Water came out of Willis mouth like a fountain as he started to breathe for air while coughing up the last of the water in his body. A sweat drop ran down Nami's head as she wonder did Jon just se that opportunity to punch someone?
Willis lifted himself and imminently went towards Astusmi. Her eye were slowing closing on her, her breathing heavy, she felt like it was her time. "Willis…Mikashi….dad…..I'm sorry….I'm so sorry….
