Aerom dived deep into thinking as he saw the individual's lack of enthusiasm in his suggestion. He replied slowly, "I could eliminate all of you and switch allegiance to the other gang, which would definitely change the course of events dramatically. However, for the sake of peace and to deepen my relationships, I want to avoid such carnage and instead seek to broaden my circle of loyal colleagues."

Aerom, firm in his resolve, expressed his stance with conviction, stating, "The opportunity I present to you all is one that promises mutual benefit - a scenario where each outcome, whether victorious or facing defeat, ensures a position of power for all involved, particularly in light of my short-term residence in this vicinity." In an effort to encourage unity and understanding, he proposed, "Allow me to be guided to your supervisor for a talk that may result in a satisfactory outcome. If excitement is insufficient, I am willing to engage directly with your boss, leading our conversation in a more diplomatic direction that could pave the way for an acceptable conclusion that benefits all parties concerned."

Akai, was a bit disgruntled by this reply. His tone and diplomatic approach and cockiness in his own abilities struck a very deep nerve. He was about to burst his casket... However, he inhaled and exhaled letting his anger to subside instead of boil over for his situation was disadvantageous. Any wrong turns could, as Aerom confidently state, turn to fate in which Aerom kills them all. He didn't want Iris to die, Akai didn't fancy the taste of death either; he was still young.

He let off an exasperated sigh, he reached into his pocket and plucked a cigarette from his stash he had hidden away. He retrieved his lighter and he lit the tip. He puffed, he drooped and sighed once more. He let off a puff of smoke, he plunged his hands into his pockets and gave him a lightly annoyed reply as he turned away to lead the way... "Follow me."

Where they were headed was nothing discrete to anyone on the island. Their next destination was... Leiden, HQ however before that. Aerom had to release Iris, "I won't go on without a secured sense of peace between both of our units. Since this is the option you have chosen and one that I've, reluctantly, agreed to... Give me Iris without any strings attached and I'll ensure she doesn't bite your hand too hard."

Had Aerom chose to comply, they'd advance to the HQ in which Iris and Akai have a silent back and forth; an intense argument and discussion on the turn of events.

They came upon Leiden, HQ. Slowly approaching it from a distance, Akai led the group. They were bound to make amends in what way they could but the risk is too great to sacrifice lives needlessly.

He let off an exasperated sigh, he reached into his pocket and plucked a cigarette from his stash he had hidden away. He retrieved his lighter and he lit the tip. He puffed, he drooped and sighed once more. He let off a puff of smoke, he plunged his hands into his pockets and gave him a lightly annoyed reply as he turned away to lead the way... "Follow me."

After establishing an agreement with the other man, Aerom and his allies took the initiative to accompany him to their headquarters. "Alright, let's go," Aerom said in a forceful tone, demonstrating his readiness and commitment. This vital decision marked the start of their trip to the exact location they had in mind.

Where they were headed was nothing discrete to anyone on the island. Their next destination was... Leiden, HQ however before that. Aerom had to release Iris, "I won't go on without a secured sense of peace between both of our units. Since this is the option you have chosen and one that I've, reluctantly, agreed to... Give me Iris without any strings attached and I'll ensure she doesn't bite your hand too hard."

Aerom answered to the individual's request by saying, "I am willing to release your companion; however, any attempt to flee or launch an attack will result in unfavourable consequences," as he advised them in a forceful tone. Aerom's statements conveyed a feeling of gravitas, emphasizing that the situation required a careful balance of trust and responsibility from both parties concerned. Understanding the gravity of the situation, he emphasized the significance of mutual respect and obedience to prevent escalating tensions further.

As he stared firmly at the assembled crowd, his mannerisms displayed a mix of power and empathy, embodying a leader seeking a peaceful conclusion in the middle of chaos. In a determined move, Aerom then signalled to the troops known as "paras" to begin the process of liberating the young girl, demonstrating his dedication to resolving the stressful situation. The exchange not only demonstrated Aerom's firm stance on the issue, but it also served as a poignant reminder that cooperation and dedication to a single goal were critical in defusing dangerous situations. The decision to release the girl, while a huge step toward healing, was accompanied by the weight of potential consequences and the need for continuing care in managing the complicated forces at work.


The group members' collective togetherness demonstrated a strong sense of preparedness and anticipation for the voyage ahead. Each member of the group moved forth with a feeling of purpose and commitment, demonstrating perseverance and fortitude in the face of the hardships that lay ahead. With each step, they left a trail of determination and unity, marking their journey with a tale of bravery and endurance. They marched forth together, ready to meet whatever challenges arose, unified in their mission, and resolved to triumph at the end of their journey.

As they continued through the strange surroundings, their gaze was drawn to a peculiar structure that stood out from the architecture of the surrounding buildings. This edifice, which stood out strongly, piqued Aerom's interest, prompting him to consider it as the central hub of the strange gang they were tracking. Sensing the gravity of the situation and the potential danger ahead, Aerom subtly motioned to his companions, a silent but powerful cue that urged them to increase their vigilance and readiness for any unforeseen threats that might arise as they approached their final destination.

The air was taut with suspense as they approached, their footsteps echoing in the calm atmosphere, each member of the party ready to respond at the first sign of danger. This vital juncture, fraught with uncertainty and surprise, required the companions to demonstrate unity and preparedness, a silent pledge that they would face whatever challenges were ahead together and emerge victorious. Their collective determination stiffened as they closed the gap, the imminent clash serving as a silent reminder of the gravity of their mission.

"This guy's a nut... I promised no monkey business regardless of whether or not you snarl at me. Even with Iris now following I can't believe that's his reassurance to our compliance. I hope ??? is willing to fight him on our behalf, I risked some heavy penalties following through with this peaceable union." Mentally commentated Akai, it swiftly turned into a brief rumination as his anxiety piled on the weight of his decisions. They traversed through the vast canopy of intricately built infrastructure, it wasn't perfect but it was maintained enough to give the illusion of a higher standard of living. Promoting the public image that Leidenschaftlich shared to the world.

The group had a large ways to go until they'd have conquered this territory, they still had to face those who governed through both the shadows and the public's naked eyes. The HQ peered at them from above, and even higher peered someone even greater! His suit's coat flowed in the wind as it precariously balanced atop his shoulders, with a sword in hand he seemed prepared for battle...

FWOOOOOOMMM-CRASH!!!
A blade of air ripped through the earth halting the group collectively, this was no feeble ambush or attack. Since Akai lead the way, at the base of his feet, was deep crevice carved through the solid rock via the attack. The man that stood atop the building seemed to have moved; he shifted in motions and then... Leapt down from atop the building!

"Akai...." Uttered the man as he approached them, he seemed a bit upset however Akai kept a calm composure. Akai stood his ground with a cigarette kept alit between his lips. He slowly reached and grabbed it, he pulled and exhaled a translucent puff of smog. The man approached slowly, having each his steps echo as the tension between the groups sky-rocketed. Iris stood in silence and lowered her head, she had nothing to say or add to the situation as it had unfolded before their very eyes.

"...Why did you bring outsiders harboring ill intentions?"

Despite their prior planning, everyone was taken aback when an unexpected assault occurred. The perplexing nature of the assault had a dramatic effect on the atmosphere, shrouding the place in a cloud of doubt and anxiety. An eerie silence fell over the gathering, broken only by the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, adding to the tension that hung heavy in the air.

"Akai...." Uttered the man as he approached them, he seemed a bit upset however Akai kept a calm composure. Akai stood his ground with a cigarette kept alit between his lips.

As the pandemonium developed in a gripping display of suspense, a well-dressed gentleman effortlessly descended from the towering structure, projecting an air of elegance and authority that caught the attention of those gathered below. The atmosphere crackled with awe and intrigue as he approached the waiting crowd. Onlookers' faces, caught in rapt attention, gradually shifted as emotions flickered across their features, creating a momentary dance of astonishment and adoration. It was a moment flavoured with the palpable intensity of long-awaited rendezvous, a meeting full with meaning and opportunity.

Aerom, ever the acute observer, couldn't help but ponder aloud the scene developing in front of him, wondering who the distinguished figure approaching was. "This," he speculated, "could very well be Gilbert, the leader they have been anticipatively waiting to meet." And as the man of mystery approached, his presence appeared to weave a spell over the assembly, braided with strands of intrigue, respect, and terror. It was a moment that hung in the air, full of unanswered questions and truths, on the verge of revelation.

When questioned, Aerom replied elegantly, "I am willing to address that query." Aerom highlighted the strategic nature of their mission, saying, "My purpose in coming here was to build alliances and engage in friendly combat to assess your capabilities." Aerom revealed the deliberate method behind their appearance, stating, "Since they were defeated by us, their only option was to summon us to this location." This excellent explanation not only illuminates the circumstances underlying Aerom's entrance, but also hints to a larger goal of developing relationships and assessing the strength of their adversaries. This response gives critical context for how the outcome of the previous encounter influenced their subsequent decisions and interactions by revealing the underlying objectives driving Aerom's behaviour.

"So they lost the battle?" Thought Gilbert, a string emotions befell him; ranging from disappointment to concern and then to a strong sense of unease. His allies had been defeated and as such they were ordered to bring him right to their leading commander; "...and that just so happens to be me. I don't trust this man at all, his words; the way he structures his sentences and the dead "fact-burdened" speech deeps him as somewhat maniacal, but through the logistics I can believe him purely because of his actions thus far. Had he wished for something much deeper then he would have attacked without hesitation and so this, is what marks the war... Whether or not I win and keep the sanctity of Leiden."

"If you want to make alliances then shouldn't we discuss things more formally rather than standing outside waiting for a well awaited battle?" Questioned Gilbert. This, of course, was directed to Aerom; the main orchestrator of the meeting.

"Smart... Avoiding immediate confrontation through using democratics." Mentally noted Akai, staring from Gilbert to Aerom as he awaited a response.

"My purpose in coming here was to build alliances and engage in friendly combat to assess your capabilities." Aerom revealed the deliberate method behind their appearance

"Bull$%&!" Angrily exclaimed Iris, who had been deep in contemplation. "He nearly took my life dammit! How do we expect to trust him so easily after the bleak instance of both Akai and myself dying due to their unwanted appearance on the island!" She glared at Aerom, her hostile emotions profoundly leaking from her essence; providing a tense air around her.

What would happen next, depends entirely upon Aerom's next decisions. As differing views collide in a silent discord amongst the guardians of Leiden...

How do we expect to trust him so easily after the bleak instance of both Akai and myself dying due to their unwanted appearance on the island!" She glared at Aerom, her hostile emotions profoundly leaking from her essence; providing a tense air around her.

After receiving that information, Aerom looked at her and said, "You started the attack by firing on me. My comrades simply acted in self-defense. It is not our fault that you have less strength than even our weakest member." The exchange highlighted a perspective in which the conflict's initiator shifted blame to the perceived other party, justifying their actions as defensive measures.

Aerom thoughtfully responded to the leader's offer, expressing both keen interest and agreement with the proposal. While demonstrating his willingness to collaborate, Aerom wisely emphasised the importance of careful consideration before fully committing to the alliance. To facilitate this critical assessment, he proposed an interesting and engaging solution: a friendly duel that would not only test both sides' strengths and potential, but would also deepen their understanding of each other's capabilities.
Aerom proposed this duel to promote transparency and mutual respect in the partnership-building process, emphasizing the importance of a thorough understanding of power dynamics on both sides. This strategic move was intended to lay a solid foundation of trust and cooperation, ensuring informed decision-making and, ultimately, increasing the potential success of any future alliances that may form.

"Tch-" She muttered as she angrily turned the opposite way, not because of their rebuttal but due to the fact that Akai had began glaring at her.

Aerom's proposition was interesting, especially to the likes of Gilbert. Though this sprung the premise of trust and a strong bond between parties which truly peaked his interest was Aerom's motive behind his arrival. Truly, it was something noble; would it be such a dastardly act to simply ask? Gilbert hesitated to bring Aerom inside as his intent was for a duel, if that's what awaited them after a thorough discussion wouldn't it be better to wait outside? Their intentions were already laid out to one another with absolute transparency and so what was left was to clear inquiries.

Gilbert questioned, "What it is do you want from this partnership? Allies come and go as they please for life is fleeting and it is precious, so Allying with us; What benefit do we bring to you?" It was the simplest of questions one could as in this situation for afterwards he wished to meet the eagerness Aerom presented for a duel; He hadn't truly accepted it just yet as Akai and Iris were still opposed to the adversaries being there, one could read it from their demeanors...

As a bounty hunter traversing the dangerous world where pirates and marines rule with unrivalled authority and raw force, I am continually confronted with the problem of operating without the same degree of strength at my disposal. This disparity in strength motivates me to take a new strategy to achieving my goals — rather than depending exclusively on raw force, I intend to broaden my reach by forming a network of strategic partnerships and alliances. My ambitions are strategically underpinned by the assembling of a varied array of allies, each of whom adds a new dimension to my impact. I hope to strengthen my position and effectiveness in this high-stakes environment by leveraging these partners' collective power and diverse skill sets.

In light of the current rumours, it has come to my attention that your group possesses qualities and capabilities that closely match the characteristics I seek in potential friends. Your reputation precedes you, and the potential synergy that may be realised through partnership has enormous promise for improving the efficiency of my operations. I believe that by collaborating with your group, we can develop a formidable alliance that will benefit each partner individually while also strengthening our collective position in this complicated landscape.

Gilbert smiled, he was intrigued by Aerom's desire. It was feasible but a battle to determine a proper partnership still rung red flags in his subconscious. Afterall fighting to your best for the sake of a test only bares fruits of there was something at stake, "I'll hear you Aerom." Stated Gilbert. He didn't give himself much time to ponder the possibilities of what might occur after this joint alliance.

"Though I had initially prompted a little meet inside of our Headquarters to discuss things formally it seems that there was nothing to discuss in the first place, you find intrigue in our lands and so decided to peacefully challenge us to a duel over partnership. Had I accepted blinded I don't think things would have worked out so smoothly, but a factor still remains; the purpose behind our fight."

"I teeter favorably to the both of us fighting as the alliance proves beneficial to both parties, since you are no longer an enemy but rather an asset and the same from we to you. So when we do duel, and I give it my all then must we part ways?" He inquired, as he armed himself firmly holding his sword. "It seems sketchy in it's own right that we fight then you leave, must I bequeath you with information?"

"Wait, Gilbert; you're gonna fight here?!" Mentally exclaimed both Iris and Akai, widening their eyes in unique shock; Akai gritting his teeth whilst tightening his teeth upon the cigarette that had been in his mouth.

Aerom made it apparent that he was willing to engage in formal conversations, emphasising the importance of assessing the opposing team's capabilities before forming any partnership. To attain this understanding, he advised engaging in a friendly duel to quickly analyse the other party's abilities and skills.

The goal of this suggestion was to use the duel as a practical approach for sharing significant insights that might not be obvious through simple conversations.Following the duel, Aerom proposed that a pleasant chat might still take place at the headquarters, emphasising the necessity of keeping a cheerful and cooperative atmosphere even after a fierce competitive battle. By taking this method, Aerom hoped to ensure that the decision-making process was adequately influenced by direct experiences gained throughout the duel.

This strategy was designed with the assumption that engaging in a physical demonstration of abilities and strategies would provide a more complete understanding of the opposing team, allowing for more successful and strategic debate in the future. Overall, Aerom's comprehensive recommendation intended to develop a balanced informed attitude to making decisions by combining practical demonstrations and following discussions.

"Wait, Gilbert; you're gonna fight here?!" Mentally exclaimed both Iris and Akai, widening their eyes in unique shock; Akai gritting his teeth whilst tightening his teeth upon the cigarette that had been in his mouth.

Aerom advised carefully finding a spot completely free of people, preferably an open space where the cold wind may calm any tensions prior to the non-lethal fight. Aerom emphasised that the goal of the duel was to demonstrate abilities and tactics rather than participate in a fatal conflict, with a focus on appraising each other's prowess rather than inflicting harm.
His solution was to guarantee a safe and controlled show of strength, in which both players may push their limits without risking catastrophic injury to one another. Aerom aimed to promote a sense of honour and sportsmanship during the encounter by emphasising the importance of testing abilities in a respectful and skill-focused manner, creating a supportive environment for both parties to showcase their martial prowess without the pressure of a life-or-death situation looming over them.This approach emphasised the spirit of friendly competition and mutual respect, encouraging a display of talent and dedication in a way that valued the art of battle without resorting to cruelty or excessive aggressiveness.

"This here is fine enough." He declared. On the precipice; the empty space connecting the city and headquarters. A the bright sun shun overhead and a gentle breeze began to blow. Illuminating our surroundings, the base was situated atop a hill. Tucked away so that in the event we were to be raided the battle could extend beyond civilization. Into the thick of the fauna and woods that laid beyond the front of the geological form. Into the thick forest so that they can tussle it out as much as they wanted.

"Our subordinates can get along fine, Akai and Iris can escort them inside whilst we duel. The limits are the very edge of civilization, the imaginary firmament at the base of this hill. From beyond that point our battle is free, I am ready when you are." He declared.

Both Akai and Iris' jaws dropped. Even though they were shocked they couldn't necessarily disagree with his reasoning, Afterall; Iris punched a building off it's foundation in an attempt to crush the group down at the docks. (A feat that had yet to be reported to Gilbert)

"Just needed the confirmation." Replied Gilbert.

"This here is fine enough." He declared.

Aerom paused to contemplate, feeling a flood of comfort sweep over him as he thanked whatever greater power led his decision to accept the offer. In that little period of introspection, a sliver of doubt crossed his mind, wondering if the response he received may have been different - possibly even negative. But, in the end, he clung to the comfort of his decision and the tranquility it brought, reassured by the knowledge that he had made the correct option.As he reflected on his chosen route, Aerom couldn't shake the nagging sense in the back of his mind, a subtle reminder that uncertainty was always on the horizon. However, he opted to focus on the positive, allowing appreciation and relief to fill his heart as he faced the unknown future that lied ahead.

"Our subordinates can get along fine, Akai and Iris can escort them inside whilst we duel. The limits are the very edge of civilization, the imaginary firmament at the base of this hill. From beyond that point our battle is free, I am ready when you are." He declared.

As the group discussed their next moves, Aerom's agreement expressed through the air, expressing his belief in the planned strategy. "That sounds like a well-thought-out strategy," he said with a firm nod, his eyes sweeping across his companions, who were ready for the mission ahead. "Did you all catch that?" he said, his words both confirming and calling to action.

"Accompany them to the building," he directed, his tone strong yet encouraging. "We'll regroup later." Aerom's leadership reflected through as he addressed his allies with both authority and camaraderie.

Turning to face Gilbert, Aerom's focus shifted effortlessly as he evaluated their next move. "Shall we proceed with our movement now?" he asked, his tone open to debate but his intent unwavering. The weight of their collective decisions lingered in the air as they waited for Gilbert's reaction; the success of their mission depended on every step they took collectively. Time appeared to stand still for a moment, each instant brimming with potential as they prepared for the difficulties and triumphs that lay ahead. Aerom and his comrades, with their links formed in the crucible of shared purpose and mutual respect, stood unified in their commitment to face whatever the future contained.

Akai and Iris stared at each other briefly, they both shared a similar discombobulated expression as their new mission was to escort and entertain their enemies, or so previously established. Gilbert had a brief conversation with their leader, though he had yet to receive the damage report caused by Iris, he was in an excited mood. Intrigue filled his mind as he got into stance.

Akai and Iris reluctantly lead the others, a sweat bead formed and dropped from Akai's temple. It was something not even he could possibly fathom, stuffing his hands in his pockets he walked off with the small group. Engrossing upon the base in the distance.

I got this idea from Ichimonji after Infinity showed me
Now, the choice is yours @FELI D AEROM. Gilbert is ready and the first move is now yours!

Akai and Iris stared at each other briefly, they both shared a similar discombobulated expression as their new mission was to escort and entertain their enemies, or so previously established.

While Aerom followed the enemy captain, Anala and the rest of the squad decided unanimously to join the opposition team. Despite the leader's affirms to relax, Anala's senses remained on high alert, fully knowledgeable of the confusing situation they found themselves in and acutely aware of the potential risks of entrapment. Their decision to integrate into the enemy crew was not rash, but rather a carefully planned strategic action.

Driven by a compelling combination of fascination and foresight, the group understood the huge benefit that mingling with the enemy could potentially provide. By joining their rivals, they hoped to obtain crucial insights into their activities while also exercising prudence, knowing that one false move in the complicated web of alliances and betrayals may have disastrous effects. The group's collaborative position represented a bold move toward unraveling the enemy's motivations, all while keeping a close eye on their own safety, walking the narrow line between danger and opportunity with steely resolve and a prudent knowledge of the high stakes at hand.


When Aerom and Gilbert arrived at the scheduled duel site, he scanned the broad expanse of the plain, his eyes intently scanning the horizon as he meticulously planned every move for the impending conflict.

"Well aren't you courteous..." Gilbert mockingly replied, a wide and eager smile on his face intending to convey a respectful subtlety between Aerom and himself. He raised his blade and got into form, "It's ludicrous that I made allies with a potential random who had engaged both my allies. Iris was clearly wounded when they'd all come back to base. To blissfully evolve this far in the situation is just..."

"...Baffling." Pondered Gilbert. His once thriving smile diminished, tensely fixated on his new adversary as his focus and anger brewed. Gilbert of Leiden was one of the many lines of defense the peaceful Leidenshacftlich possessed; with his most notable attribute being his extreme mastery in "Rokushiki" or the Six Powers; originally taught to members of the world government either hailing from the Marines or Cipher Pol.

Gilbert clad is leg in armament haki, quickly he turned his sword; slashing the dirt in front of him to strategically provide a temporary smoke screen of dust; his intent, to completely shatter the stern silence between Aerom and himself and startle the newcomer. He waved his leg at Hypersonic Speed...

A horizontal blade flew through Gilbert's temporary cover, splitting both it and screeching through the air as the 3-foot blade speedily rushed upon Aerom!

...His blurred limb whiplashing at the last moment, breaking the sound barrier as he drew an imaginary and lethal line with his foot.

Rankyuaku!

Aerom quickly raised both hands, masterfully manoeuvring the water molecules and droplets encircling him with instinctual grace after noticing the approaching ray of light. With a fluid twirl, he expertly choreographed a rotating water barrier that formed a protective bubble around him, effectively repelling the approaching attack. This seamless exhibition not only highlighted Aerom's outstanding mental acuity and thorough mastery of the elements, but it also demonstrated his well-honed defensive plan, a clever response developed in the heat of immediate danger.

Eight Trigrams Palms - Revolving Heaven

Equal DPR: Attacks cancel each other out, though the area around the clash may still take damage.

"That's commendable, superior to your subordinate, but not enough to pose a threat to me," Aerom said cautiously, hinting a level of superiority. This suggests that the performance is adequate. Although Aerom's comment emphasised superiority, it also conveyed a sense of respect for his opponent's skill level. Furthermore, it demonstrated his calculating confidence in his own abilities without discounting the ability of others, laying the groundwork for a strategic war of wits and techniques. Using his expertise and polished talents, he executed the difficult technique "Maruchi" with precision and grace to quickly advance towards his opponent, seamlessly transitioning into the next move "maruchi ken."

Maruchi (マルチ means "speed "): The user's movement speed is increased by Mastery/5.

The "Maruchi" technique demonstrated his mastery and control over his motions, while the devastating "maruchi ken" added a layer of surprise and immobility to his attacking strategy. This strategic combination not only allowed him to close the gap rapidly, but it also placed him in a position to acquire a tactical advantage over his stunned opponent. The seamless integration of these approaches demonstrated Aerom's combat prowess and strategic acumen, highlighting his ability to react and counter any opposition efficiently, laying the way for a thrilling battle that tested the limits of skill, strategy, and tenacity.

"That's a strange technique..." Thought Gilbert. His interest piqued in Aerom's method of defense, he hadn't seen it before and couldn't quite put to a comprehensive style that fit anything he'd seen before. "Could that be water? Would that make him a fish man, if he's capable of creating such a defensive dome out of nothing."

His wind blade clashed with Aerom's defensive spin, the attacks cancelled out one another. Dust and dirt flew about from the sharpness of Gilbert's rankyaku however to be dispelled in one quick motion triggered his fighting instincts, up-ing his caution against this new foe.

"His speed increased!" Noted Gilbert once more, the gap between them had been closed with significant grace. Aerom attacked! His movements were easy to follow and Gilbert felt the immediate threat of Aerom's attack however he maintained his composure enough to attack. "He's too close for my sword..." He quickly thought, Aerom's fist slicing through the air. Gilbert lowered his sword even further holding it's tip adjacent to the earth.

He met Aerom's speedy fists with an attack of his own. His face tensed with the threat of battle, he jutted out his hand executing another gem of Six Powers; Shigan!

He thrusted his left arm upwards and intercepted Aerom's fist through flanking the man's fist with his fingers! Veering his arms off their course, protecting himself and allowing him to take a few defensive step backwards; slowly but surely, to open the gap between. At least to open it to such a degree that he could swing his sword!

The fists met, he spaced Aerom with minute steps; tracking the man's movements as he attempted to get a quick jump on his foe... Quickly though, he had positioned himself in such a way that both parties would receive noticeable lag in their techniques, their fists needed an adjustment in time to be launched to ensure that either one would hit a target; Gilbert, forced this scenario to temporarily reset their battle so that neither had the advantage, that was until his next movement... SORU!

61 + 12 = 73, Not much but Aerom can track Gilbert

His speed spiked in ferocity and he slid across the ground, circling about to Aerom's presumed blind spot; directly behind him on his left side. He twirled his blade and slashed the floor, opting to use another facade to hide his next attack. Dust kicked up into the air, covering a majority of his body, he let go of his blade. Forming both hands into a primed state to perform Shigan once more, he clad them in armament haki and stepped in on Aerom...

Shigan "MADARA"!
He ferociously attacked Aerom, thrusting his clad Shigan arms in a barrage to force the advantage once more!

Shigan "MADARA"!
He ferociously attacked Aerom, thrusting his clad Shigan arms in a barrage to force the advantage once more!

Aerom, a diligent man who foresaw the impending attacks, took precautions by wrapping his arms in armoured haki, exhibiting his expertise and fast thinking in the face of peril. This defensive technique clearly demonstrated his grasp of fighting tactics, emphasising his commitment to improving his talents and remaining one step ahead of his opponents. Aerom effectively fortified his arms with the impenetrable barrier of haki, consolidating his status as a fearsome force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. The shimmering aura that emitted from his armoured arms symbolised his unwavering resolve and unbreakable drive to triumph over any opposition, creating dread in the hearts of all who dared to face him.

Defence : 81-100: 5. Town Level+ Haki (+2) = 120: 7. Mountain Level
DPR 1 below dura: somewhat effective

Aerom, determined to protect himself from the unrelenting assault, tactically used his body, although this resulted in noticeable marks ruining his previously beautiful skin. Despite the fact that his wounds were not very severe, they demonstrated the overwhelming intensity and ferocity of the attack he had heroically survived.

Aerom calmly stated, "That was quite a formidable strike; you've compelled me to unleash my haki." With a steely resolution in his glare, he declared, "Now, you have left me with no choice but to respond in equal." These shallow yet obvious scratches spoke to the hot nature of the conflict. Aerom's decision to use his heightened talents while acknowledging his opponent's strength emphasised the gravity and seriousness of the situation.

Aerom gently grasped the water drops in his outstretched fingers, viewing them as potential weapons ready for launch. Every droplet, resembling precious ammo, appeared to pulse with an invisible power, ready to be channelled at his command. Aerom deftly shot these watery bullets at his opponents with unshakeable precision and a furious determination written across his concentrated face. Each droplet was driven forward with relentless force, replicating the fast and precise movements expected from rifle bullets.

Aerom's decision to use his heightened talents while acknowledging his opponent's strength emphasised the gravity and seriousness of the situation.

"Is he brushing off my attack?" Pondered Gilbert, his body relaxing as his onslaught came to a sudden halt. His muscles rested and thus he lowered his arms, he reached and grabbed his sword in this brief moment; Lo this might've been a very foolish decision.

Aerom reached, grabbing the water molecules present in the atmosphere, he molded them; using them in an offensive manner. He pelted the particles with immense strength and speed; in the down time of Gilbert's attempt to retrieve his blade the attack had come. He could see them coming, but the position he placed himself within made it exceedingly difficult to defend; switching his attempt once more he raised his arm to cover his eyes, he armored himself and girded himself to be struck.

81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A(3) = 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only)
61-80: 4. City Block Level + Armament Haki(1) = 81-100: 5. Town Level
Verdict: DPR 1 higher than dura: quite effective

The pellets collided with Gilbert's body, however even with his haki dampening the immense threat he suffered. He flipped over, being knocked off his feet and straight into the ground; his body sunk inwards at the points of contact the water pellets made. He coughed, wheezing desperately as the searing pain travelled throughout his body, "Dammit..." He softly exclaimed.

He laid on the ground, his face stricken with grief; sweat amassed on his forehead and his torso thumped and whimpered as a repercussion of what he had experienced. "So he controls water?" He thought. He extended his legs and kicked himself up, the searing pain still lingered however he decided to stoically force himself through since the battle had yet to finish. He stood tall, and stared at Aerom. He clenched his blade tightly, he clad both his arms and sword in Armament Haki though taking an aggressive approach in the battle, right at this given moment; became difficult for him.

"I had my concerns about his abilities, but to be something like this is peculiar to say the very least. The way he attacks is extremely reminiscent of Fishman karate however, he's clearly not a fishman. Either way, I have to be mindful and careful of which routes and paths I take in full on confrontation against him." He continued to ponder.

He focus intensified, his moments taken to think were cut short; he raised his blade and veins popped at his temples. Gilbert always tried his very best in a battle and here is no exception, the dug his toes into the ground and darted off. At exceptionally high speeds, breaking the limits of sound he shot around the battlefield about Aerom...

Focusing his entire offensive to his blade, he homed in on Aerom; swinging his blade at such an extreme speed that, his afterimages created the illusion that he was slashing with two blades at once! Each slash expertly executed to converge attacking his limbs one after the other!
