CHAPTER 4
DRAGON'S MEAL
"HIARGHHH...!"
"HOAHHHH..!"
A loud, like a sound of bombard implodes in whole stadium. The three referees too frightened and fell sediment outside from the battle square. They manage to hits each other head and stop, immediately referees rise up both their red and white flags. All agreed. The result of hits, is draw. The stadium fell into loud and vociferous state.
Both Zoro and Law steps back, pant and take breathe heavily, waiting for the judges to give a call to continue.
Mihawk and Ryuma looked at each other. Then they nodded. The 16x High Speed Camera was confirm it too. No doubt.
Their hits were done in the perfect exact time. All the cameramen in duty jaws drop. They never see human who be able to catch this kind of monstrous speed. A haunting chilling and shivers run through all their skins.
It's like watching a haunted video. The more they played and rewind the video of Zoro and Law's battle, the more mysterious energy shooting their guts. With some scary dark-theme background music rattles around the corner of their wrinkles spirits.
"Wha.. Wha... What are they?!"
"They really an Akuma..!"
"Is they really a human..?"
Mihawk stated his observes first.
"I understand. Both manage to catch each other's speed, but I believe Roronoa moves his hit a little fast and more energetic than Trafalgar.. Based on how his legs moves."
"Well, Trafalgar got the reactive superiority. He is excellent. Trafalgar was able to notice when Zoro change his attack form in short and pay him back in perfect time. I could say... Trafalgar got a perfect handwork in observing his rampaging opponent.."
"Well, you right Roronoa-san. Both of them are interesting. Seems Trafalgar didn't waste his time after the last three years tournament. Guess he is lucky to have some experience in this kind of battle before. What an improvement."
"If not, Trafalgar won't qualify as the great, didn't he..?"
"Hmm.. Did you also taught Roronoa with some kind of rough battle, Roronoa-san..? Roronoa look familiar with that kind of moves.. Ambushing people."
"No. I only gave him the basics."
"How strict. I can see why he like to play around with people under his level."
"That was his original habits. Zoro often took challenges from gangsters who like ambushing their victims as their top priority. You know. They just got a wrong pick up and wrong time. It always happen. And.. Zoro keep sneak out from his practice in Dojo, gone play somewhere with that Mugiwara boy."
"But.. Instead from practice and taking street fight, I heard he love sleep."
"Even in his sleep, he is still a hyper kid. And make friend with that super hyper kid."
Ryuma shrugs, glares to the certain kid named Monkey D. Luffy, who sits beside his son, Koshiro and granddaughter, Caimie. Mihawk smile, hearing Ryuma's complains about his grandson behavior.
Of course Mihawk recognize that super hyper kid, Luffy. Only certain high ranking members in Police HQ know about Luffy's real shadow.
"Your grandson has grown just like you, Roronoa-san.."
Mihawk snorting out his feedback on the complaint, while Ryuma only sighing more hardly. Mihawk found it as something amusing and interesting in the same time, how his old rival's problem turns to be.
"Looks like I can't blame it on my son or my daughter-in-law."
Mihawk only smiles. Vergo who sit beside the Judges table, keep watching Law's shape. Mihawk eyeing his glare to Vergo, tried to make sure about 'something'.
"Gladly, I never mentioned about Mugiwara to Law. It's unfair, but better for him."
"It's more best than better."
Said Mihawk in his stern and deep tone voices. Ryuma, Mihawk and Vergo nodded unison to the referees.
Their breath is steady. Zoro closed his eyes. Law checks his Shinai for instant.
Referees give both of the young man some command to continue the battle.
Suddenly, Law feels chilling shivers run through his body. 'Haki..!' Law glare to his opponent, Zoro. 'Roronoa's Haki.'
Zoro stand firmly, it's like that teenager doing some meditation while slowly level up his beastly Haki.
Slowly, Zoro open his eyes. There a hint sparks of red light from Zoro's eyes, shows his horrifying draconic expressions.
Then a big, menacing scary Demon statue wearing devilish Joker face, have canine tooth and three pointing horns rising up behind Zoro. It has four hands. Three of its hands holding a crescent-shaped at the edge of the long swords, while the other hand holding a gourd-shaped Sake bottle. It followed by the two long and big red and dark green Asian dragons wrapped around that statue, formed tall and high behind Zoro.
The intimidating deathly dark, skully aura surrounds Zoro's figure. The air temperature around Zoro is shaking and hot.
Zoro elevate both his Shinai highly above his head. His long Shinai shadowed with Kitetsu visuals, while his shorter Shinai was shadowed with Yubashiri. Suddenly a reflection of another Katana formed on his armored helmet or accurately, Zoro's mouth. All of this gives the imagination of terrifying legendary Santoryu style.
The Joker faced Demon statue with four hands moves, and lowers its gigantic head a little. As that thing moved, it produces an epic heart blow noises. The three pointed horns facing Trafalgar Law figure, as it is the three formed katana in Zoro's hand. The two dragons move to the either side of Zoro, snarling and growls to Law.
"I told you, I will give you taste some blood today.."
Zoro promises in his whisper, calm down his mad-temper shrieking two cursed Katana. Those Katana's shriek is those dragons terrifying hungry growls. Ryuma and Mihawk keep watching the two young swordsmen inside their battle ring. One of the swordsman-in-rookies-age already awaken his Demon.
The legendary Three Horned Demon.
And it's wielding his deathly Santoryu swordsmanship.
Koshiro stand up suddenly from his sits. His son is going all out seriously on this opponent. What scares him is Zoro really planning on 'killing' the heir of Trafalgar. Koshiro really aware of what that 'killing technique' is capable on. That strong Haki is able to chop the victim ability before kill it.
Zoro's insanely intimidating killing intent shocked everyone in the stadium and anyone who watches the match live from television. The gasping sounds can be heard clearly to ears. Some of them already peed in their pants watching the awoken Three Horned Demon right in front of their eyes.
Caimie's eyes wide open, an adore sparkles shining her big eyes. That's why she adores her big brother. 'Kyaa~~! Nii-chin is adorably cute in that form~~~!' Caimie squeaking happily in her brain.
Law tensed a little. 'Finally, show up your real demon..' Law strengthens the grip on his Shinai and calm his pace, ready to facing those monstrous demon which shadowed by dark aura in front of him. Law closed his eyes, meditating and calms himself. He level up his own Haki.
Law opens his glowing blue eyes, and a cold blue-like aura surrounds Law, give an audience the feeling of calm, shivers by chill coldness and freezing look in the same time. A thrilling rise of growling white giant tiger, appears within Law's blue aura.
Here's comes the awaiting Surgeon of White Tiger Demon.
Facing Zoro's menacing Three Horned Demon statue and two dragons with dark auras.
From far, Luffy sat still, with his arms folded, watching his awesome Zoro in the middle of his battle field. Ryuma and Mihawk watch with their stern eyes, amazed with both intimidating 'haki' from both rookies.
The both Demon was completely awaken. Ryuma's Shusuui and Mihawk's Kokuto Yoru rattles, screams desperately wanting to joins those brats.
Vergo, who sits beside Mihawk, sweat dropped. He worried a little, but he believes in his brother strength. Law is strong enough to defeat any enemies that stand on him. He just hopes and wishes for his brother's safety. Tough his stoic face didn't tell, but no one knows his brotherly caring heart.
Vergo knows Roronoa's heir strength and brutality very well. Vergo eyeing Luffy far from his seat. Vergo knows Roronoa's friend who Zoro always trained with, the strange boy called Luffy, the monkey that wearing strawhat.
Luffy might looks common boy to most people but Vergo knows what that boy capable on. And that boy's real identity. Vergo was told his younger brother in their daily training about Law's opponent's fighting style, Santoryu. Vergo only tell about Zoro's sadistic records, without touches any matters relating Mugiwara as the warnings.
Actually, these problem pair is a real deal in Police Department, they were known as Duo Monsters. The strength each one of them, is equal to 100 men strengths.
Vergo remembers, Zoro was caught by Police on his 12 years old because drink 2 barrels of old wine. That green haired kid didn't even drunk. And the monkey boy wiped down the entire gang of newbie Mafia only on his 11 years old. That's so monstrous habits for a mere little kid.
Ah, Vergo didn't see why something shitty like that related to this battle.
Vergo never questioning General Aokiji, why that lazy-ass of Third Battalion in Police HQ always let that monkey-style kid deal with the gangster of vandalism and under age criminals. Vergo was told by his upper senior; Aokiji pays that kid secretly for the works, while Aokiji only came at the last moment, and take the criminal to juvenile prison after the raven haired monkey-boy deal with them.
Kid nowadays know how to make money easily. Vergo stare back on the battlefield.
Zoro smirks inside his head mask, inviting and dared Law to attack him. Law can see it clearly, that most 'humble' smirk invitation. Law annoyed, that green leafy brat mocked him Law can't stand it.
Law lost in his impatient temper. Law step forward, dashing to his opponent. Zoro chuckle. Zoro dodge Law's blows and swing his Shinai forward. Their Haki filled Shinai collide again. The terrifying dragons and white Tiger biting each other, the growls heard like a thunder.
Some reporter's camera lenses broke and shattered, hit by the high volts Haki. Some of the audience screams in fear.
They broke the collision and make another hard and roughly hits on each other again.
Demonic Joker stabbing the Blue Tiger, while the Blue Tiger clawing the armored Dragon's skin with it's scythe shaped claws, and it's sword like tail whipped and lashing Zoro's Demon body. Their human form seems faded, swallowed inside the menacing Beastly Demon fights.
Their Shinais clashed and produce the sound like heavy metal clashing. A fire sparks resulting from the bamboo swords clashed. No. The bamboo swords shape were change with Zoro's three Katana and Law's long Nodachi.
It's like you're stand in front of your worst real nightmares.
Law thrusts his attack numerously. Zoro simply dodge it and vanished in a blink of eyes. Law halts and suddenly terrifying figures of Zoro appears beside Law.
Law, Ryuma, Mihawk, Koshiro, Vergo and Luffy widen their eyes. Zoro already moves his Shinai on air, swinging the incoming attack on Law.
"Santōryū Ōgi - Rokudō no Tsuji!"
Law stunned and tried to defend himself in short time by the blink of eyes, but then feels both of the mad dragons has wrapping tightly around his body, one of it caught his throat leave Law breath chocked, stopping Law's time to react.
Zoro hitting Law's head and some score-marks body areas, six times simultaneously brutally fast and cruelly hard that he did not seem moving at all. Law only feels his head got hit 2 times brutally, his vision already blurred. He hoped his neck didn't broken caused by the deathly impact.
The dragon that chocked Law's throat, biting Law's left shoulder, where the sixth and last hit was placed, with Zoro's Shinai that shadowed with burning Kitetsu.
The red dragon enjoys it's meal. The promised blood.
Zoro grins evilly, his eyes glowing with scarlet red. The bloody color of victory.
It's in a blink of eyes attack, but the impact leaves Law's body instantly numb feels like it paralyzed. Law too shocked he couldn't even process the screams of pain that eating over his body.
Words and pain screams dead on his throat. It's feels like his body was chopped into bits with unsharpened and rusting saw blade. And now he felt it clearly; Roronoa's demonic wrath. The unimaginable and word-less torture that ripping his skin and flesh slowly.
Audiences could only see Zoro's last hit on Law's left shoulder. Ryuma and Mihawk's face more stern and serious. Koshiro is sweaty and still wearing his worried face. Feel worried toward the young Trafalgar.
Vergo clenching his hand, he couldn't do anything to stop Zoro from abusing and torturing his brother in front of his eyes. But then Vergo relaxed, hoping Law would take it as lessons, that outside there no one could predict how crazy and dangerous people can be. He did warn his brother before.
Luffy's face normal but serious. Then he smiles. The words 'Oh...' softly slipping from his smile, seems like Luffy has see something that caught his notice, a little changes about Zoro's familiar way of attack.
"Zoro is a bad boy.. Bully is naughty~~ Shishishi"
Luffy chuckles with playfully tone.
Law's white kimono at his left hand got a beautiful bloody ornament little by little. The place where bitten by dragon's Kitetsu.
Law can see his opponent multiplying into three-four persons, torture him silently. His legs cramped. Zoro still didn't pull down his Shinai. Zoro watch his prey resisting in silent agony.
Slowly, the terrifying monsters vanished in the thin air, leave the nightmarish growls and whimpers echoing through the gigantic stadium and lastly, the ghostly silent fills in, replacing around it.
Luffy wear his identical strawhat on head, cover his eyes and shows his smile. But it looks more like smirking, a creepy plus sweet one.
"The tiger whose eats tiger."
Luffy whisper inaudible in deep voices, but still can be heard by Koshiro. Koshiro keep silent. He understands who are the tiger that eats and who are the tiger that eaten. Luffy knows Zoro very well. Koshiro smiles for their mutual understanding. Koshiro watch his son.
Caimie closed her face with her hands, too scare to see how his mad brother feed his hungry Katana. She knows those Katana is cursed, and never touched it even once in her life. Caimie did hear its cries on every fullmoon. Caimie understands why Zoro only let Luffy hold Wado but not Kitetsu. That Katana did biting people.
Kitetsu bite Trafalgar Law, while Zoro only watch on his struggling prey. What a nightmare.
In the battlefield, Zoro counting with his sotto voice,
"Three.. Two.. One.."
Law's body swaying before his vision turns blank and collapse, weakly. Zoro's lips mouthing his last counting.
"Zero."
BUMP! Law falls on the Kendo's battleground. His Shinai slip from his violently trembled cold hand, fall beside his fallen master.
'M-My body... I.. I Lost..'
Guys! Should listen to this epic instrumental music as the ending soundtrack for Law moment;
