| - Stephen:*shadowed eyes*10 years...going to waste like this... Stephen:*angered look*SASAGAWA KENSHIN!! Marimo: This is the part I didn't want to deal with, these annoying soldiers. Revy: It's gonna take us a lot of time, and you gotta hold back to not... Marimo:*serious look*Yeah, I know. ????: I guess we can take care of them for you! Marimo:*smiles*So my words reached you in the end. Old man: I understood that this is what we have to do from the very beginning, however, these guys needed some time to think about it. I think your final words before leaving the mine were what really convinced them. Revy:*surprised*Mine? What are they talking about? Who is this old man? Old man:*smiles*An old pirate who still has some fighting spirit inside of him. Revy: What's...that power? Marimo:*wide grin*Oh...so it seems you seen some of this world, if you're able to use Busoshoku Haki. Old man:*grins*Don't talk to me like that, brat! Now, it's been some time since I touched a sword, so I'm sorry if I'm not exactly skilled. Old man:*shadowed eyes and smiling*Tch...I really got old, since I never cut this deep. Revy:*serious look*[That was very similar to the way I wield my sword, but his skills...are on a completely different level.] Old man: ALRIGHT MEN!! PICK YOUR WEAPONS AND LETS OBTAIN FREEDOM, TOGETHER!! Men: YEAAAAAAAAAAH!! Revy: Are them really...the people who disappeared? Marimo: Yeah, they were forced to work in these mines until the day they die. Old man:*wide smile*Hey, Kenshin! Are you really that tired after your right? So far, I took out more people than you! Marimo:*arrogant smile*Don't get too full of yourself, ancient swordsman! Old man:*laughs*Ancient swordsman? Revy:*smiles*You really managed to do this on your own... Revy:*tears rolling down on her face*Everyone... Old man:*warm smile*These are happy tears, am I right? Marimo:*smiles*Is that your way of celebrating? Cause we're still far from taking this island back, so come here and fight as well! Revy:*smiles*Yeah...lets go, everyone! Revy:*panting, but smiling*This...this is almost over! Marimo:*shadowed eyes*Right, your part, that is. Revy: What are you talking about? Marimo: You should step away now since your part is over. Marimo:*grins*He's coming. Marimo:*sharp look*You really took your time to come here, Stephen. Stephen:*cold look*Sasagawa Kenshin, we finally meet. Stephen: So you escaped as well. Old man: Yeah, but this time, I won't be the one fighting you. I know I can't win against you anyway. Revy:*surprised*You fought Stephen before? Old man: That's the reason why I was sent to the mine. I'm not actually from this island. Revy: Why would you try to get to this island then? With all the darkness around it. Old man:*serious look*I wanted to protect some persons that I love, but I failed. I'm sorry for that. Revy: [Why would he...apologize to me? Can he actually be...? No, it can't.] Marimo: Sorry, but I think it's a bit too late for you to get away from us. Marimo: You two, please protect them. Old man: Alright. Take care and make sure you win this. Old man: What are you gonna... Revy: If I will have to, I'm gonna fight as well! Old man:*serious look*You shouldn't! I'm sure you are strong, but this guy is clearly out of our league. The only thing we can do is listen to Kenshin's order and take care of these people. Revy: Whatever you say. Old man:*smiles*[She's not gonna listen to me, is she?] Stephen: You probably know very well what you did, am I right? Marimo: Yeah. I destroyed everything these guys over there worked for in 10 years. Marimo: [His speed...I wasn't able to see a single movement from him, he just van...] Stephen: I will finish this before you even draw out your... Marimo: At first, I just wanted to have a fight with you. Now...it's not about what I want to do, but what I have to do. I can't lose against you. Marimo: But then again, I'm the type that only prepares a way to fight and a way to celebrate after winning. So losing is not exactly an option. Marimo: Fire Demon's Shadow Attack!! Stephen:*annoyed look*Tch... Marimo: So I gotta deal with an annoying Logia? Stephen: Not exactly. My Devil Fruit is not a Logia. Marimo:*serious look*[Is he trying to trick me? My attacks were simply passing through his body earlier...] Stephen: Since you defeated Chishin and have such a high bounty, I guess I should take you more seriously. Stephen: These are called Tarotokado (Terra Cards), and each one of them has a special ability. Marimo: Don't think that you're gonna surpass me in speed twice. Stephen: This is the reason why you were actually able to keep up with my speed this time. Attack Tarotokado!! Marimo:*serious look*I know for sure you're not a swordsman. Marimo: Fire Demon's Roar!! Marimo: Fire Demon's Army!! Stephen: Element Tarotokado!! Marimo: Blazing Blades: Death Cycle!! Marimo: Blazing Blades: Burning Devastation!! Stephen: Trap Tarotokado!!' Marimo: [Tch...he's not even fighting seriously yet.] Stephen: This type of card has two uses. Look around you. Marimo: This didn't stop me earlier, why would they now? Stephen: Before you did that, you could take a look at the ground as well. Stephen:*sharp look*Get destroyed...with your own element. Element Tarotokado!! Stephen: I'm sure that wasn't enough to take you down, so I guess I'm gonna... Marimo:*shadowed eyes*Are you sure you were slower earlier because of that axe? Marimo: These are just some annoying tricks. I guess these cards weren't made from your Devil Fruit, but from another. Anyway, playtime is over. Marimo:*shadowed eyes*It doesn't matter if you take me seriously or not...because either way... Marimo:*determined look*I'M GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN NO MATTER WHAT!! Marimo:*shadowed eyes*I shouldn't forget that this is not just a fight that I have to enjoy anymore...this is a fight to save many lives...that's why... Marimo:*piercing look*I'm gonna cut you down as soon as possible, Stephen. Marimo: Fire Lightning Demon, Ougi: Demon's Wrath!! Stephen:*maniac look*It would be interesting if it's you the one who kills them and not me! Marimo:*shadowed eyes*You idiot, that slash can only hit one target. Stephen:*angered looK*How...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?? Marimo: The first slash I hit you with. If you remember well, all the slashes I sent towards you were burning ones, except for that one that actually cut you. That was one of my special slashes, one that puts a special mark on you that I can trigger whenever I want. When that mark is triggered, one of my slashes is gonna follow you until it cuts you. Stephen:*coughing blood*That...that doesn't make any sense! How could you track me with a slash? Marimo:*wide smile*Because of my Devil Fruit of course! Didn't you think...my swords might actually have their own will?
