Christopher glared fiercely, pushing Fletcher behind him before he did anything stupid. His eyes are drawn to Goldfinger as the man steps forward.

"I will give you the honor of joining Goldfinger," he sneers, "but only if you kill the man you came to save.

Christopher eyes are shadowed his bangs as he says darkly, "I would kill Fletcher in a heartbeat" Christopher's blue eyes snap open in anger as he continues "if I were the same assassin I used to be"

Gold fingers men charge forward angrily, Christopher lashes out! Tripping the men before they reach him! He jumps forward quickly snatching the best looking sword out of one of the lackey's hands before he could get up and jumps back to Fletcher. A smirk draws across the face of a boy on Goldfinger's side drawing Christopher's attention as he steps forward. The boy took out his sword pointing it at the two declaring "I want to fight you two "he brings the sword back to himself licking the metal enticingly. The boys smirk quickly turns into a frown as Fletchers says "that's so gross".

"You're a fool!" the boy shuts angrily "My devil fruit makes my body a complete nerve agent! It's a catalyst to anything, turning it toxic!" he looks past Rletcher challenging Christopher to battle. Christopher accepts the challenge pushing Fletcher behind him saying "Fletcher" fletcher turns his eyes to Christopher questioning " If you so much as interfere with my battle" he brings his sword forward "I will leave your crew!"

Fletcher nods stepping back while saying "I get it" meeting Christopher's eyes "the best cook can fight his own battles"

The screech of metal on metal greets the start of the battle as they both push away assessing each other's strength. The second strike shows the skills they possess as a small slash appears on the boys arm. He looks impressed but hardly surprised as he complements Christopher "you strike like the wind—"but is interrupted as they clash swords again. The boy continues as if he was never interrupted "where did you learn to swing like that?" as he parry's Christopher's blow.

"I was trained by my father to swing and fight likes the wind" Christopher answers as he continues pushing the boy slowly back.

The boy barley dodges as Christopher aims for his neck wanting to end the fight quickly. Red stains the boy's collar as the shallow wound misses a critical point.

"Maybe I need to get serious" the boy mumbles as he pause's the fight to press his fingers to the wound.

Blood comes away on his fingers. A sickly green light starts spreading across his skin which starts to bubble and warp. With a sickening squelch another copy of the boy appears next to him quickly followed by two more. Christopher attacks quickly before more appear, but only hits a copy. The same sickly green as the boy starts to spread up Christopher's skin with a painful tingle. Christopher breath becomes labored as the boy declares with a smirk of victory .

"I never did mention that my copies are poisonous did I?" Christopher turns his attacks the real one but had little success at the boy's new found speed evaded him. Christopher dodges back from a slash which only left a thin line of red and a tattered shirt. Scowling in frustration Christopher ripped his torn shirt away and attacks with renewed vigor. The poison begins to spread across Christopher's chest snaking toward his heart.

The triumphant smirk on the boy's face grew bigger, that smirk quickly disappeared as Christopher began to smile which soon turned into an ominous chuckle before he yelled "Did you forget that I have a devil fruit too?" with a grunt of exertion Christopher's muscles tense as brightly color starts begin to appear on his back oozing the green venom.

The sickly light recedes from Christopher's chest as the venom drips onto the ground burning holes in the rock beneath him. The boy taken aback yells as he rushes forward his sword drawn " Don't think you've won because you have a few tricks up your sleeve" they clashes sword again a spray of sparks putting them in a stalemate. Again and again they clashed trading blows back and forth as neither making a mark on one another.

A rumbling quake shakes the ground making both fighters lose their balance. The flat of Christopher's sword smashes across the boys head knocking him out. Angry at the interrupted battle Christopher attacked Goldfinger for interfering. His first strike pushes Goldfinger back forcing him to jump away from his men. Going on the defensive Goldfinger parry's and dodges Christopher blows. Slashes appear on Goldfingers arms quick as the wind. Goldfinger scowls fighting back but not getting very far as Christopher pushes him farther and farther back. Dodging a stab to his chest Goldfinger, tired of the futility of fighting a losing battle he angrily yelled "enough!" as a rumbling roar shook the ground stumbling Christopher stopping him from continuing to strike. Covered in slashes grimaces in anger which turns into superiority as Christopher gets up from the ground.

"You seem to have underestimated me" Goldfinger said as his skin swells and bloats. Christopher watched disgusted as lumpy grey boulders grew out of Goldfingers arms quickly covering his skin. Grasping his sword harder Christopher attacks Goldfingers arm. His sword gave a loud screech and groan at the force applied but had no apparent effect. "Your attacks are useless!" Goldfinger yelled as Christopher's attacks once again did no damage. "I ate the Ground-Ground devil fruit! I am a rock man! Goldfingers aims an attack at Christopher's chest skimming his side. Tenderly Christopher held his ribs already knowing that a bruise was forming. Christopher dodged an attack watching Goldfingers arm crash into the ground.
