Images began to blur as his vision changed. Things became brighter with more distinctive outlines. Anything that was not opposing him was toned a blue white color. His cremates were a dull yellow hue, so it was easy to determine the blackened opponents from his yellowed comrades.

So this is the so called dragons sight eh? Gives me a headache.

Focus.

"Here they come. There climbing up the side of the ship." Sanji stated, poised legs with from the railing where the grappling hooks had landed.

Chopper was hustling Luffy back into his office. "I'll join the fight in a moment, let me sedate Luffy!" Everyone hers, but no one responded. The door slammed shut, acting as a starter gun for the whole event.

Gunshots splinted the wood as they boarded the ship. Men dressed in western type clothing (Black vests and worn jeans with WRANGLE written down the left leg.) leaped over the banister of the ship to begin the assault. The few girls that were also included in the ambush wore short shorts or skirts with cut off t-shirts that had WRANGLE written above the berets.

A rain of bullets filled the air, only when they landed and stuck did the crew of prates notice that there were no bullets at all, they were tranquilizers.

"OI, heads up! A rain of 'tranks headed this way!" Sanji hollered as he sent three men overboard with one kick.

"Roanoa Zoro. Ive wanted to face you for a long time... my name is Concepcion. Are you willing to duel me?" it was very faint, but Zoro could here the ice tone of a killer under her voice.

Zoro lowered his swords, "If you want to duel me, then I accept." He smirked.

"You were on our wish list for ages. The Boss wanted you to join us so bad. Then you became one with those whom you've hunted, and the Boss became enraged. Your entire crew has been our main target for a while now, only problem was that you all were so far ahead of us we were having problems catching up." As she was speaking she drew her sword. Its blue and black blade was shining in the upcoming darkness, the hue was like watching the moon through a sapphire. "Meet the diamond edged blade, Burūmūn Howaitosutā. This is the edge that will cut you down."

"I'de love to see that, but I doubt it will happen." The few who watching all saw the mocking laughter, reflecting in his face. "So lets begin then." A strange deranged smile was twisting on his face.

"YOU WILL DIE!" The woman screamed as she launched herself at him.

"Not if I can help it." Zoro laughed slightly. Changing his position so he would be ready to guard.

"Mōkin Dasshu!" Concepcion shouted as she ran at Zoro.

"Apparently you think I'm stupid." He said, as he moved his blade to defend his back. The diamond blade clashed with his own, chipping Shuusui. The woman smiled as she attempted to enlarge the crack.

Shit!

Its a diamond blade. What would you expect?

Will I be able to cut it?

You should be able to. If you can't, and you are willing to allow me to intervene, I can melt it.

No. this is a DUEL. If I'm about to die go ahead.

"Single sword style, DRAGON TWISTER!" spinning he managed to hit Concepcion's sword out of her hands.

"Aagh.." she moaned as she fell. Her frustration was easily evident.

Zoro kicked the sword back to her. "Stand up. Unless you give up here and now."

"Never." She growled, taking up the sword. "Baryonyx Tsume!" immediately bringing the sword down in an arch, the blade facing her. Zoro steeped back easily.

I've noticed. You've never turned so far where you couldn't see her.

She jumped, Zoro blocked but the sword slid up and into his right shoulder about four inches. He hissed as he forced the sword out from his shoulder, drawing blood. The edge of the blade was purple with blood. Concepcion flicked the sword downward, painting a small arch of blood on the stained wood beneath her.

"Lets begin." She said searing. The ice in her voice was no longer hidden.

A/N: Ok Concepcion's moves are dinosaurs. I got most of them from .com...these are in order: Raptor dash, most of the names actually didn't change when I translated them. So Baryonyx is a dino... Baryonyx Tsume is Baryonyx Claw. Her sword's name means Blue Moon White Star.
