AND HERE WE GO! ZORO VS ERZA! THE FIGHT EVERYONE WANTS!
The two brave warriors have been standing in place for over 2 minutes now, analyzing, scouting for flaws and openings, distractions as little as getting dust in their eyes could mean the end of both of them, at least, that's what Erza thought was going on, in reality, Zoro could read her like an open book, his Observation Haki allows him to see right through her every move, he was just waiting for her to make the first move. Then, Zoro yawns, boredom got the best of him, leaving him perfectly open.
PENTAGRAM SWORD!
Erza quickly took advantage of his misstep to land a hit. suddenly, she felt a stinging pain, and she looked down to see that she got cut, it wasn't a misstep, it was a trap.
SANTORYUU: ONI-GIRI!
Zoro jumps in to land a slash. Erza blocked, but was overtaken by the sheer weight of his right blade, not only that, but combined with his monstrous strength, she felt like she was trying to lift a giant.
''How could this guy have so much strength?!'' she thought, but it wasn't over, Zoro didn't give her any room to think, and was laying down on her a barrage of slashes. She could barely keep up, he was like Kagura, if Kagura was a 100 foot demon with three blades. she knew she couldn't keep up with him in close range combat. So she jumped back, and summoned thousands of swords
''EAT THIS!'' She yelled as thousands of swords rained down on him, but he did not falter.
SANTORYUU: TATSUMAKI!
A tornado of slashes formed, sucking it the blades and pulling her towards it. She couldn't hold her ground, neither could the nearby trees, that were getting uprooted from the ground. She had no choice.
EQUIP: ADAMANTINE ARMOR!
That armor was her ace in terms of defense, but being of the defensive was exactly what Zoro wanted. As she willingly got sucked into the tornado, He made a stance. Erza was holding her own in the vortex, her armor wasn't taking much damage, but when she saw Zoro in that pose, she knew something big was coming, yet she couldn't switch out for any speed enhancing armor as she would be cut to pieces. So she braced herself for the attack of her life.
SANTORYUU: 600 POUND CANON!
A giant slash flew towards the tornado and got sucked, this in turn massively amplified the tornadoes cutting power. He could screams of pain as blood and armor bits flew out the tornado, after a while, it finally stopped, and he watched Erza's wounded body slowly emerge from the smokes. And there she was, limping on her one leg, covered in slash wounds, her armor was completely decimated.
''Had enough women?'' He asked.
''FAR FROM IT'' She yelled out. she then charged in, Armor resembling that of a leopard appeared onto his body, and her speed seemingly increased ten-fold. But Zoro had experience with those kind of opponents, from CP9 agents to Gear Second Luffy and even to Mihawk during his two year training, a speed of that caliber was nothing to him.
NITORYUU: RASHOMON!
He slashed with his two blades, two slashes flew towards her, giving her legs two deep wounds, she lost balance, and the speed she collected caused her to trip, fall and roll towards Zoro, who seemed to have prepared the finisher.
NITORYUU: ICHI GORILLA! NI GORILLA!
as she was closing in, his arms turned huge and he swung as she fell towards his blades
NIGORI-ZAKE!
A massive burst of blood splattered of the floor, luckily for erza, he hit her with the swords handle. She crashed through several buildings, and felt several of her bones cracking, she was at her limit, and yet the fight had barely begun. She slowly felt her consciousness fading, but was determined to win. For a brief moment, she forgot all moral, all fatigue, all pain and all thought, all she had was the will to win, the thought of losing to such an opponent would break her pride in an instant, with all of her strength, she charged in in her Nagagami Armor, ready to give up everything for one goal only, to beat his swordsman.
NAKAGAMI STARLIGHT!
Zoro blocked, but was indeed surprised of how much power was much into the attack, it propelled him backwards, as the hit the floor, Erza switched to Morning Star armor. landing a decisive blow.
PHOTON SLICER!
Zoro was hit with a huge burst of light, but wasn't gonna give up just yet.
UI-TORA GARI!
He slashed the The light beam, but the attack didn't connect with Erza, who had seemingly disappeared, but has he got up, he was quickly hit with a Giant spear, and there, she was, in her Giant Armor, she pulled out another spear and was ready to throw, but Zoro was fast, he quickly got upclose and slashed right through her armor.
TORO NAGASHI!
He cut thought the armor, but missed her, and she took advantage of the opening to hit hit with her Purgatory Armor's Mace, sending him flying. Thinking she won, her sudden adrenaline wore off and she fell to her knees, exhausted, but then the rubbles cleared, and Zoro came out with few minor injuries, a couple of bruises and a small amount of blood leaking from his head.
''Not bad, you're tougher than you look.'' he said. And with that, he turned around and left. Erza was confused, why was he leaving? was he scared? is he pitying me? The thought of being pitied didn't fly with Erza, and she demonstrated that by charging in with her Purgatory Armor, but the attack was easily blocked.
''Guess I overestimated you, you're weaker than I thought'' He said.
''WHAT?!'' Erza exclaimed. ''A true swordsman knows when he is defeated, and acknowledges his enemies power, respect is the best weapon after all, even towards your foes'' he said. Erza couldn't believe she's being lectured by a pirate, let alone one with the world's worst sense of direction. ''You're at your limit already, so why fight on?'' asked Zoro.
''I fight for my friends, pirate, and unlike you, I have a responsibility: to protect them,they are all counting on me so I can't lose, I must win for not only y pride, but for theirs as well.'' She said with honor.
Zoro has then realized how similar the two swordsman are, and for a second, he could have sworn to have seen himself talking, the him from all the way back to his first fight with Mihawk, so he knew exactly what to do.
''Very well he said, then draw your strongest blade!'' he responded. ''Very well'' she answered and she dawns her clear heart clothing.
''Before we do this, tell me your name.'', said Zoro.
''Erza Scarlet'' she responded.
''Erza... I will remember that name'' he softly said, sheeting two of his blades.
''LET'S END THIS!'' Erza exclaimed.
the two swordsmen/women charged in one last time. this time both are giving in all they got. (p.s this attck is made up for Erza as she never had any named attack in her clear heart clothing)
CRIMSON SAKURA!
ITTORYUU: SHISHI SONSON!
a moment of silence struck the battlefield...
...
...
...
...
Suddenly. Erza chest bursts open! leaving a giant gaping wound! Zoro on the other hand felt a slash on his cheek, as blood flows out of it, Erza's near unconscious body falls and the same time as zoro's blood hits the ground.
''I lost'' Erza whispered to herself, mortified.
''LISTEN UP ERZA!'' ZORO CRIED OUT, '' YOUR FRIENDS WON'T LOSE HOPE JUST BECAUSE YOU LOST ONE FIGHT, EVEN IF YOU DID, THEY WILL STAND UP FOR YOU, THAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP!''
Erza was in shock to hear such words coming from his foe, almost as if he wanted her to win.
''YOU ARE STRONG ERZA, AND YOU PUT THAT STRENGTH TO BETTER USE THAN ME! YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS LOSS, SO SAY IT, SAY THAT YOU WILL SURPASS ME! PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL SURPASS ME! MAKE IT YOUR GOAL AND CRUSH ME THE NEXT TIME WE FIGHT GOT IT?!''
Erza, on the verge of tear cried out''GOT IT!''.
''Good,'' Zoro calmly said, ''now let's get you to a hospital''.
