​

Focused on Kuro's movement, Shin looked closely at move that he made. Seeing how he handle himself against the Venus Flytrap, the skyman was in awe. He was amazed, and quickly understood that he needed to take him out quickly. As Kuro made his way towards the duo, Shin smiled as he prepared himself to counter him.

"You're not as weak as you seem"

Just as he was about to make his move, he stopped moving as he saw Kuro's Cat Spin. Due to the spinning, Shin knew that his regular moves would't cut it. Fortunately for him, Rafiki stepped forward. After swinging his staff around, the humandrill started to spin, just like the Black Cat Captain. The blue haired gunman was surprised and extremely happy. Seeing his comrade about to clash with their opponent, Shin didn't want to disappoint, so made up his mind on what do.

Shin held up his blowgun and dashed towards the pair. However, he moved diagonally to keep a safe distance for his target. Blowing into his blowgun, 3 rapid air compressed bullets were shot right at Kuro. Contrary to before, this time Shin activated his jet dial to increase the speed of his attack. If Rafiki's counter is successful, the attack would hit his foe's chest.

Removing his blowgun from his face, Shin stopped movement as he waited to see how the attack impacted him. He also was curious to see what his friend had in his "bag".

Spinning madly with his Cat Claws, Captain Kuro sought the lives of the two individuals in front of him. A polite butler, turned into a mad pirate. The change in facial expression, behavior, and bloodlust was like night and day, and Kaya was lost for words, incapable of doing anything but watching on as things unfolded. The Cat Claws collided with Rafiki's fighting staff, which shared most of the same movements with Captain Kuro's own technique - a detail that he did not miss. Putting his all into the Cat Claws, Captain Kuro aimed to push through, but to no avail. Rafiki was physically stronger, a consequence of his inhuman physique, and Humandrill physiology. Captain Kuro's spinning attack was broken, and some stress even reach his hands, though not much due to the length of the katanas that he used for claws. As he took a few steps backward uncontrollably, due to Rafiki's overwhelming attack, Captain Kuro, at a loss for balance, was hit in the chest by a couple of air compressed bullets.

Spoiler

Shin's DPR: 41-60: 3. Wall/Tree Level + B:+2 = 81-100: 5. Large Building Level

Captain Kuro's Durability: 21-40: 2. Small Building Level

Skidding backward from the blow, Captain Kuro came to a stop. His chest was bleeding, and some blood trailed from the corner of his mouth - but luckily, the bullets were air and not metal, and as such the wound was not deadly, for now. Realizing that Rafiki was physically stronger, and Shin was a ranged fighter, Captain Kuro found himself in a severely disadvantageous fight, outnumbered. However, he had an ace up his sleeve. The technique that allowed him to defeat an entire ship of Marines. A technique so deadly, that even the great Captain Kuro himself could not fully control it.

But, he had no choice. A glare of his glasses hiding his eyes behind it, Captan Kuro suddenly slumped. His arms fell beside him, limp, and his body started to sway. Something was happening, and Rafiki and Shin better be ready for it.

Shakushi...

Scoping Syrup Village - #11​

With teamwork, they duo had landed a considerable blow. Kuro, pushed back, took a minute to compose himself. Rafiki watched as Kuro’s aura changed, as he for into a whole new stance, of a man possessed. This time, Rafiki took a step back.

[Rafiki] “W-W-Watch out! This is one of the highest bounties men in East Blue!”​

​

As a “bounty hunter”, the Humandrill would know. His eyes were glued to Kuro. Pole at the ready, he dared not to make the first move. It was a mix of fear and caution. As a close-range fighter, he’d have to wait.

Rafiki planned to use Kuro’s techniques against him for one reason; he did not want to reveal moves with WG allegiance. Though Rokushiki is a secret martial arts, the agent didn’t want to leave things to chance.

Shakushi

[Rafiki] “W-W-Watch out! This is one of the highest bounties men in East Blue!”

Hearing loud and clear, Shin swiftly took out a pop green that he inserted into his weapon. The jet dial still active, the skyman didn't wait to shoot his ammo. Understand the type of enemy he was against, Shin decided to go on the offensive. Moving fast, the ammo released mid air 5 star shaped plants. If successful, the attack would cut Kuro's arms. By using the increase speed gaining from the jet dial, Shin designed this move to be the most valuable one from his pop green collection.

"This should slow him down"

Yelling back at Rafiki, Shin kept his eye on his foe. With what he saw and Rafiki's warning, Shin knew better than to turn his back to his target.

Swaying back and forth as if he was in a trance, Captain Kuro had the attention of his two opponents. Rafiki decided to stay still and observe for now, his watchful monkey eyes constantly prying on every movement Captain Kuro made. Shin, on the other hand, went onto the offensive. As he put his blowgun into his mouth and was about to fire, Captain Kuro suddenly accelerated. The set of Shuriken ripped through the air, but Captain Kuro was gone. He had literally disappeared from in front of his opponents.

Suddenly, slash marks started to appear on different spots on the ground, sporadically and impossible to predict. Captain Kuro was hard to see, but one could assume wherever the slash marks appeared, Captain Kuro had just disappeared from. Some of the slash marks appeared on the wall next to the doorway where Kaya was standing. Dangerously close, but it seemed it was not intentional, for Kaya was safe, and Captain Kuro was gone as quickly as he had cut. Suddenly, a set of five katanas swiped from behind Shin. It was Captain Kuro.

But as soon as he swiped, he was on the move yet again. Next, he came for Rafiki, the five katanas slashing from his right, aimed toward his right thigh. And yet again, as soon as he slashed, Captain Kuro was gone. A powerful, seemingly perpetual, and unresting onslaught. Even after he had attacked the two men, more and more slash marks started to appear on various parts of the ground, the trunks of nearby trees, the rocks and stones in the area, among other.

Captain Kuro was going all out.

Deathmatch with Kuro - #12​

Hundred Plans Kuro swayed back and forth like a demon. Shin heeded the call, shooting to maim. With no warning, the man blurred and disappeared. What came next was a state of panic.

Cuts and slashes appeared on various places in the terrain. Kuro appeared for a second, before his trance took him again. Rafiki looked around, not knowing what to do, where to look. Suddenly, blades cut against his right leg. Rafiki took a knee and grunted. Blood damped his hairy leg.

The Humandrill looked around intensely, before jumping. High in the air, Rafiki looked down at the ongoing destruction. Before he began falling down into the air, Rafiki kicked his legs. Bouncing on the air itself, the agent stayed afloat through Geppo.

[Rafiki] “D-D-Damn it!”​

​

Safe in the air, or so he thought, Rafiki waited for an opportunity. He would wait till Kuro finished before counterattacking. Unfortunately, he had no way of helping Shin down in the ground at the moment.

Shin was completely taken aback from Kuro's Shakushi. As he foe disappeared and reappeared, Shin started to wonder how he was able to move faster, after all he took. He knew that he wouldn't go down that easy, but he wasn't ready for his power up. Seeing the different slash being made, the skyman quickly looked towards Kaya to see if she was safe. In the same time that he saw that she survived the attacks, Shin was hit by Kuro's slash in the back.

"URGHHH...."

Grunting as he felt the pain, Shin fell on his knees. He almost dropped his blowgun, luckily he caught just as he was about to drop it. Feeling quickly his wounds. It hurt but it was bare able. Getting up, Shin quickly took out another pop green. Looking around, Shin saw at that moment Rafiki being also a victim of Kuro's rapid attacks.

Looking at his comrade as he used his Geppo, the blue haired marksman smiled, he loved witnessing unique fighting style. The humandrill was starting to grow on him. Unable to clearly see where his enemy was, Shin decided to shoot his ammo nearby. If successful, a Rafflesia flower would sprout up and release a foul smell capable of disabling Kuro's senses.

Spoiler

Midori Boshi: Rafflesia (緑星・ラフレシア , "Green Star: Rafflesia"): The user throws a Pop Green at his enemy, not aiming for them specifically but a place near them. The pop green reveals a rather large Rafflesia flower. The flower then excretes a foul smelling odor, disabling the enemy's senses with its stench. Stunning enemy for 1 turn. (21 Mastery)

 

[kakashi19283]

Captain Kuro went into a frenzy, swinging his body left and right a number of times hypnotically before disappearing from sight. The entire area was now at his mercy as his Cat Claws ravaged anything and everything in sight indiscriminately. Both Rafiki and Shin found themselves at the mercy of the Caw Claws - the former suffering a slash on his thigh while the latter suffered slashes on his back. However, it seemed like Captain Kuro did not have full control of his attacks, which explained the shallowness of the wounds. Rafiki moved up into the air, using Geppou to sustain his airborne position and stay out of range. Shin took out another Midori Boshi and shot it at the ground nearby. As Shin was busy doing that, he would have found himself at the mercy of the Cat Claws once again, this time his shoulder. However, he would have gotten his shot off successfully. The Midori Boshi spawned a large flower that suddenly started to unleash a deathly stink. It took a few seconds, and a few slashes cut down the flower as well, but before long, Captain Kuro had to breath in and the foul smell got to him. His Shakushi was cancelled, and he reappeared, coughing.

Ngh... what is this...!

Captain Kuro said, his eyes blurring and watering due to the foul stench. Shin's brilliant idea to get Captain Kuro out of his Shakushi trance, now offered an opening for the two to strike.

The minute Kuro broke his Shakushi due to the effect of his Midori Boshi: Rafflesia, Shin didn't even wait a second before this golden opportunity. Shin swiftly activated his jet dial in his blowgun and blew 3 air compressed bullets at his foe. This time he aimed for the chest. Removing his weapon from his face, Shin smiled as he watched the scene. If successful, the attack would cause heavy damage due to the increase in speed with the jet dial.

"You're quite the interesting fellow.."

Holding his blowgun, Shin kept the jet dial activated in case his enemy was still up for more. After all he went through, Shin knew better than underestimate Kuro.

Deathmatch with Kuro - #13​

Hundred Plans Kuro was in a frenzy. Rafiki keep afloat, waiting for his chance. Shin let out a flower, it emitting an odor most foul. Rafiki stayed outside of the fumes, until his eyes traced Kuro; the pirate had come to a stop, dizzy.

Rafiki did not waste a breath. He immediately used Geppo to propel himself diagonally downwards at his top speed. He had his wooden pole cocked back, his eyes brimming with energy. With a shout heard in the town nearby, Rafiki came down on Kuro like a meteor.

[Rafiki] “Shigan: Cue!”​

The wooden pole came down on Kuro’s head with the speed of a Shigan, like a large gunshot. Rafiki aimed at Kuro’s upper back from above, the impact point such that it would create a Large Building size crater. With his dexterity and skill, Rafiki would use Geppo to re-aim should Kuro move, noticing Shin’s attack. A twin attack aiming to knock out Hundred Plans Kuro.

In the crater, Rafiki would be caught in the fumes. After he came down, he felt much like Kuro, disoriented and lost.
