| - Previous: Black Bone Tower Part 9 Usagi: Hey, I just wanted to come out and check on you. I know how you must be feeling now. You don't like to fight without a reason. Chio: Yeah, I guess that's true. Usagi: I just want you to know that this tournament is not worth dying for. If this Little Mac is too much for you, there is no shame in standing down from the fight. Usagi: I know you'll do great, not matter the odds. [She planted a kiss on his forehead, which he quickly returned.] Chio: Thank you. Usagi: [Smiled.] Of course. Kimi: [Held up Alice's knife.] What did you call it again? Alice: A Vorpal Blade. Kimi: It's so light [Waved it up and down very gently.] But it's still sharp enough to cut a strand of hair in half. Where did you get such a wonderful blade? Alice: It came to me in a dream. [Smiled and took a small bite of her rice cracker.] Kimi: S'that so? Do you use it in your cooking? Alice: Certainly not. The Vorpal Blade is never to be used lightly. I merely use it when I am in need of it. Never for something so rudementary as cooking. Kimi: Ooohh. Alice: And what of your axe? It's so large, one would hardly expect such a petite to carry it around so easily. Kimi: [Smiled.] Yes, it was my father's. Alice: I see. Jana: And we're playing Poker? Lee: Yep! Five card draw, you've really never played? Jana: Oh, no, I'm much too busy to be playing such games. Lee: Really... on a Pirate ship in the New World, you haven't found any downtime to play Poker? How many islands have you been to? Jana: Besides our homeland, and this island, we've only seen one. Jiro: Oh? What was that like? Jana: Oh, there wasn't much to see [Picked up her cards and switched them around in her hands.] other than a bunch of forested areas, and some cannibal cavemen. Jiro and Lee: Cavemen? Jana: Yes, [put down two cards and picked up two cards.] Lee: How did you get through that? [Picked up three cards.] Jana: We ground their bones up and ate them. Can we only switch our cards out once? [She looked at both of them, where as both of them were staring at her in awe. Lee: You said that very convincingly. But yes, only once. Jana: Okay. [Showed her hands.] Three kings. Lee: What?! Jiro: Hmm. Oh well. [Put down his two pair, two fours and two sixes.] Lee: Beats the hell out of me. [Put down his two aces.] Jana: Play again? Announcer: Alright folks! There's only five minutes remaining, would our two contenders please make their way to the arena? [Huge burst of cheers.] Jana: Answers that, [Helped Jiro gather up all of the cards.] Announcer: On his way to the ring! Weighing in at 135 pounds, and a bounty of 150 million belli, give it up for the Tiger-Stripe Pirates' first mate! Here's Runagai "Lightning Legs" Chio!! [The crowd went absolutely wild!] Mac: So, you're Mr. Lightning Legs, are you? How come I didn't get a big introduction? Chio: Why do you care? Mac: No big deal, I suppose, I'll get a big one when I beat your pretty little face in. Chio: [Cocked his eyebrow up a bit.] A big one, huh? So beating up men is what gets you off? Mac: What'd you say? [Grin was gone, now he scowled.] Chio: Hey, I'm not judging or anything. [Had the smug grin now, his hands at either side of him.] Whatever Bobs your uncle, pal. Mac: Ooohh you're gonna get it now. [Got into his boxer poised position.] Chio: I'll believe it when I see it. [Fighting stance.] St. Owen: [Raised his hand.] Fighters at the ready! [Chopped down.] Fight! Mac: Haaaaaaa! [Charged forward, his gloves raised over to protect his face, elbows down to protect his chest and abs. He lashed out with a forward thrust punch, but completely missed.] Chio: Soru! [Disappeared.] Mac: What??! Chio: [Appeared behind him, and then swept a leg under, kicking his legs out and tripping him. As Mac fell to the ground, Chio got up and kicked him straight forward.] Chio HANDOU! Mac: Power Quake! [Punched the ground, causing a big shock wave to come straight for Chio, who did not expect such an attack at all.] Chio: Chio Raitoni Handou! Mac: GAH! [Spit up a little blood with his saliva as he started to struggle just to breath.] Chio: Chio Yabai Handou! [Jumped onto his hands and began to spin, his legs smacking Mac in the face and knocking him into the arena once again. The crowd gave another roar of cheering.] Mac: Errrr [Held his gut as he got up from the ground. He looked to see that Chio was nowhere near him, he was simply looking at Mac, waiting for him to make the next move, and he did.] Power Rush!
