-Rings the bell- words: 0554 |
In the mid-afternoon light of what was turning out to be a rather boring day, Durzo strolled along one of the city streets in his usual garb consisting of his black and red trench coat, dark blue pants, dark blue toeless boots and the Shearer sword strapped to his back. Looking up towards the sky, he briefly wondered where his raven Nevermore had run off to, as when he had left the marine base it had been accompanying him only to fly off a few minutes into their trip. Undoubtedly though it was probably looking for food to steal from the various shop stalls set up in the street, so Durzo was not too concerned.
While Shelltown was essentially the back end of nowhere in terms of importance, it was one of the few places he could resupply without issue. The men stationed on the island were generally some of the youngest and inexperienced and as such, when the reputed Vice-Admiral Chum wanted supplies they hopped to and did as they were told. The draw back to dealing with these grunts however was that the base commander usually had some job or other that he officially called upon Durzo to take care of. Generally it was taking care of some pirates who had set up a base on a nearby island, this time however it was dealing with a problem within the town itself.
It was for this reason that Durzo was out strolling the town. He had been given the description of a few individuals who had stolen a ship right out of Shelltown's port and essentially made the Marines stationed there look like fools in the process. Now Durzo did not care one bit how foolish the thieves had made the Marines look, what he did care about was that it made the base commander indebted to him if he even made an attempt to take care of the problem and if he succeeded the commander would be indebted to him for a very long time. Of course, the potential to participate in a touch of violence did not hurt matters either.
As he turned a corner, Durzo spotted one of his two targets walking down the street in his direction as if she had not stolen a ship from this very port. He had to give the girl credit, she had guts at the very least. While the girl may have bolted from any senior ranking marine or even a contingent of the grunts, since Durzo was out of uniform he figured she would likely just take him to be a mercenary or bounty hunter of some sort.
After the first glance at her, Durzo continued to move forward, his eyes flickering to the various stalls around him partially to cover his nature, but in slight curiosity as to whether there was anything good to pocket in the fight that was to ensue in mere moments. Waiting until he was within fifteen feet of her, Durzo's right hand shot up to the hilt jutting above his right shoulder. With flawless skill, Durzo unhooked the bandaged blade from its harness as he dashed towards the red haired girl and seamlessly moved into a savage chop directed at her. Durzo only hoped she would not go down without giving him a decent fight.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Aaaah, back in Shelltown to stock up again. Yumi and her crew tended to alternate between this place and the pirate set up near the grand line's entrance for stocking up. Sadly she couldn't currently remember the name of the place for the life of her, all she recalled was getting really drunk with Shura the last time they were there, and had since sworn off rum, having only terrible memories of what happened, though what happened exactly she wasn't sure, all she knew was that it sent shivers down her spine.,,
The good thing about Shelltown was the lax security. Sure, it was a marine controlled island, they even had a major head quarters here, but like north blue was the least dangerous of the 4 blues, shelltown was one of the least caring islands. So long as you weren't currently doing anything, no one seemed to care. Heck, Yumi herself had stolen a ship from this place, and most of the marines just preferred to ignore her, rather than attempt to take on the red head and her giant friend who had stolen a ship from their very port.
Yawning quietly to herself, Yumi tossed an apple up and down in her free hand as the other moved to cover her mouth, before snatching the green fruit out of the air and taking a nice juicy bite. "Mmmm~ Can't beat a good apple!~" She probably would have continued walking, when a vision shot into her head. Known by many as a form of Haki, the girl had dubbed it her "mind's eye" and had used it to her advantage in many battles before. This time she saw a sword swinging towards her, bandaged, and blunt enough thanks to said bandages to only knock her down. Sadly for the bounty hunter she spotted in the distance, who had yet to truly charge her, she was quick to react, jumping up over his swipe and falling into a roll, kneeling behind him now and glaring back, dusting herself off as she rose to her feet.
"Ya know, it's polite to take me on a date before we get down to business." She smirked a little as she dusted herself off, a little more cocky these days thanks to her new powers. "So, lemme guess, bounty hunter?"  CODED BY SYLVIE |

Sorry its short.
words: 0218 |
Even as his opening strike failed to connect with the woman, Durzo felt himself starting to grin slightly. He always enjoyed a good fight and the fact that the girl was observant enough to react and clear his strike was a good indicator that she would at least put up some kind of fight. Turning slowly as the woman spoke, Durzo brought the blade to rest on his right shoulder after her first statement, smiling until she made a guess as to his occupation. To this the Fishman could not help, but to chuckle slightly.
"I've never been the dating sort, as for me being a bounty hunter. . . try again."
Upon finishing his line Durzo's left leg quickly shot out in a snap kick aimed for the little redhead's cheek due to the difference in their height. Even as his left leg moved he planned to spin on his right foot and bring around the immense Shearer blade hoping that if the kick missed its mark that the blade might be able to still connect on its pass due to its longer length. Additionally the blade would be kept at an angle so that if it did connect that the scales of the Shearer blade would slice through both the bandages and anything it managed to connect with.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" "Not a bounty hunter eh? Well in that case..." He didn't look marine, leaving only one other option. She thought on it for a moment when another vision burned through her mind. This one clearer than the last due to the more harmful intent behind it. She saw the kick, and while most people could have dodge that alone, she now knew about the sword, and thus the extra reach that would come with it. If this guy wanted to take her down, she couldn't spend too long playing around.
As the leg came in she ducked beneath it, and with her legs coiled up like a spring, she leaped back, avoiding the wide range, staggering to a stand as she tried to keep herself stable.
"Pirate then? We attack one of your crew's ships in defense and you want payback, that it?"
Not wanting to play around Yumi got in close, spinning her left leg in a kick for the odd man's chest, the whole leg igniting in a red flame at the last moment. CODED BY SYLVIE |

Guess again =P words: 0336 |
As both his kick and sword slash connected with only the air, Durzo could only feel happiness at how good the red haired pirate's reflexes and reaction time were. At the very least she was making Durzo somewhat happy he had agreed to take care of this problem for the base commander. As the girl jumped away, Durzo moved back into a relaxed stance with the massive blade casually held up with just his right hand.
It was as the young woman steadied herself that she made another guess, this time stating that he was a pirate who had come seeking vengeance for an attack against some of his crew. While she was correct in the assumption that he was there for revenge, she once again misjudged who he represented; although truth be told he was not that surprised given his tendency to never dress like a normal marine.
"Wrong again."
At that moment the red head launched an attack of her own, snapping out a violent kick. While Durzo had been expecting some sort of attack, when her leg became wreathed in flames, it got Durzo's smile to widen considerably. It seemed that the girl had a few tricks up her figurative sleeves. . . such was completely fine with Durzo, as he had tricks of his own.
As the kick moved towards him, Durzo pivoted his body as he stabbed his bandaged blade into the ground, using it as a barrier for the young woman's fiery kick. While there was no noticeable change to the blade, in reality Durzo utilized his advanced form of Bososhoku Haki to coat the scale like blades under the bandages with the black coating that was stronger than most armors.
Durzo's hope was that the girl's flames would burn away the bandaging and in doing so, her leg would come in contact with the Bososhoku enhanced Kairoseki blade. If such a thing were to occur then he would pull the blade upwards in an attempt to shear away at her leg.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Though she didn't know it, the part of her that held the Kuja blood also enhanced her legs, strong legs was a natural trait of the Kuja women afterall. Thing was however that even with that little boost of power, she felt her entire leg hit a brick wall in the form of her opponents blade, her eyes shooting wide and staggering back as she struggled to stand, glaring at the odd man before her, and the now revealed scales of his sword. An odd man, an odd sword, and neither bounty hunter or pirate...That, and her leg felt like it was gonna bruise really bad after hitting something so hard...
Wait, her leg was hurting? That wasn't right...she tried igniting her arm with flames as if to go into a punch, but instead, she got nothing, at least for a moment before they flickered into life, and her leg felt like it was beginning to heal.
"Okay...what on earth did you just do to me?" She shook her hand, the flames discipating as she glared at her enemy right now. "No pirate...no hunter...gods...if you're a marine I swear I'm gonna seriously start questioning the government of these seas." CODED BY SYLVIE |

Sorry it took so long. words: 0312 |
The moment the girl's leg impacted on the weapon Durzo felt a sudden rush of amusement surge through him. While Durzo loved combat in general, he also had a particular love of fighting Devil Fruit users, merely because they tended to rely far too much on the powers they acquired from the fruit and more importantly it was especially fun when they did not understand what Kairoseki was. As fate would have it this young woman seemed to be just one of those people, as she quickly spoke out with the slight sound of surprise in her voice.
"Third time's the charm! I'm Vice-Admiral Durzo Thrasher, figured you might want to know when you submit your little complaints to the government."
The last statement was said just as Durzo's smile widen to an outright grin, his left hand moving out to tear away a handful of bandages to reveal the majority of the scales that had previously been hidden under them. Without any apparent difficult, Durzo lifted the massive sword with his right hand, slowly turning it right side up and bringing the handle to be held by both hands.
"As for what I did. . .let's just say you devil fruit users rely on your abilities far too much."
Right as he finished speaking, Durzo's hands twisted the sword's hilt in a specific manner. This action in turn allowed the water that continually built up within the core of the sword to very slowly release along each of the scales bearing a few drops every few moments. Immediately after doing this, Durzo did a quick spin and performed a savage horizontal slash that sent small droplets of water through the air towards the red haired girl with all the lethality that came along with mastery of Fishman Karate; the wall of small water droplets effectively becoming equivalent to a barrage of gunfire.
