The Twos attacks launched forward at one another! Colliding into each! Hornigold then gripped down, piercing his claws through the Captain's hand! It caused him to grimace! But it meant that Hornigold was distracted! Leroy then launched his other hand out to the Side!
The Confusion that Rackham had felt before, at the rooftop of the Tombs. Where He'd been Struck by an unknown force from had been in truth a Sneaky tactic employed by The Red Sash Captain.
The Cracks on the Wall near them was not just from the Previous attacks and Drawn out Battle. But specifically from where the Rubber Man had slung his fist forward at just the right angle to bounce his fist off the wall! Redirecting his attack to impact the Golden Man before he could react and turn intangible!
This Tactic was the same that he used at that moment! His arm slung out to the side of him, stretching and elongating before impacting one of the Nearby decorated pillars, cracking and crumbling it, but redirecting it all the same! The force wasn't as much as it would be with a head on attack, but with the Possibility of it not landing, it was a tradeoff he was willing to make!
"Bouncing Shot!" Leroy Yelled as his fist impacted the Side of Hornigold's face! With enough force that The Ex-Marshal Began to feel the taste of metal in his cheek! His claw released the Rubber Man's hand! "Ack! Damnit!"
"Where did that Come from!" Before his Eyes could fully adjust, Leroy shot out another fist! Aimed right for the feet of the Pirate before cracking the floor and bouncing up! Impacting right into his Jaw in a Severe Uppercut! "Bouncing Shot!" Leroy shouted again, Rackhams head reeling backwards causing him to stumble
Grinding his Dress Shoes into the Sandstone. Dust from the battle puffing into a small cloud around the polished leather, hand reaching to his face as the sight blurred from the Fireworks finally regaining "Hah…Hah…Hrn…" Hornigold grit his teeth tight. 'That's what he did…Using my lost sight, gaps in my reactions, landing hits on me…Smart…'
"I'll give you that!" Hornigold gave a small weak smile, but the Grimacing frown took over his face. As did the serious look spread across Leroys.
The Barrage of attacks zipped towards Leroy from behind! Lurching up behind him, Looming with power and strength! Hornigold then Commanded the Attack to commence with a Clench of his Golden fist!
'Behind!' Leroy shouted in his mind as he could feel the difference in the air around him. Sensing that something was coming!
"Sling!" Th-wack! Leroy leapt into the Air and slung his elastic foot into the Jaw of Gold. Shattering it! "Stomp!" Thrusting around he delivered a straight kick to the Spiked ball. Grimacing as he felt the gold pierce through him!
But by the Time he got the last of the 'Knots' it was too late! As he thrust his fist forward, blades sliced the flesh just as what had happened with his other when Hornigold caught his attack! The remaining blades of Gold suddenly sped by him! Slicing his arms, calves, and thighs as he attempted to bring up his arms to block!
His Rubber constitution being incredibly susceptible to blade, even if his muscles were incredibly Taut with iron like density!
Blood trickled down his Body, when he felt a strange sensation!
It was his Sash! His Own personal treasure, something he held so near and dear to his heart had been sliced! Holes piercing through the Vibrant fabric as blood soaked into it!
'Damnit!' "Ha-rah!" Leroy slung his arms high into the air! Nearly touching the mural above him before clasping his hands together and slinging them down in front of him! Slamming them into the Gold with monstrous force! Shattering the Gold! "Guillotine!"
Before the Shards and Chunks of Gold could even land onto the ground, the Captain of the Red Sash pirates, with such immense and staggering strength left in him, kicked his legs in midair and bounced off the Air itself like a platform! Rocketing towards Hornigold with Staggering speed!
Zipping through the Air, the Captain's Fist was Clenched tight! The Grimace and Scowl on his face couldn't help but be turned into that Sneer! The Same Deranged and Angry smile that he wore many times in the past.
There was something Primal about it. About this fight. Leroy was finally able to put in so much effort into this fight. He was forced to, but the fact that Hornigold could take it, and was forcing him to grow in the midst of the Conflict, constantly bouncing back, losing energy yet his muscles seemed to be reignited with new found vigor!
He'd trained for so long after Azar had left to be ready that every Fight he had up until this point was Easy, and at Most Troublesome and needing some form of effort, but now! He was able to cut loose! And on top of that He was even stronger now than when He landed on the Island a day prior! Stronger than what Rango Scotch had predicted he'd need to become!
It was Exhilarating! 'I can't believe it, A bastard like him and I have this strange feeling of wanting to thank him for such an exhilarating Fight…!' Leroy thought to himself 'A fight I would gladly take on if it meant kicking his ass for what he did to me. And to this island. But nonetheless I'm giving my all!'
KA-THAM!
The Two finally Collided mere moments later, the Sneer wiping away and turning back to the Scowl of concentration and determination!
Leroy's fist Slammed into the Golden Mans Own! The Force delivered to the Artificial Limb was enough that it caused cracks to form! The Claws that were extended outwards for a pointed palm strike pierced his skin and then cracked and shattered! Causing the Golden King to Scowl
"I spent Years trying to get to the Right place in this country! Rumor after Rumor! Whispers Of a Treasure to Rival the One Piece!" Hornigold Shouted as Leroy Delivered a Kick to his side, swiftly blocking it with his fractured golden hand. He was having no time to think about reforming it, with just how much pressure Red Sash was putting on him
"When I finally got power, I renamed this place to Reflect its importance to me!" Chryos was the Name of his Company. Something that he held so dear, 'Chryos' 'Gold' all of it was to show that he had a grip on this country. But now, in the face of all of his struggle was a meager Rubber Pirate!
"Like I give a shit!" Leroy demanded as Hornigold transformed his hand into the Long Pike from before! "Zloto Wasp!"
With a swift movement, Leroy dodged out of the Way! And Planted his Fist into his sternum! Causing Rackham to lurch in pain! But he wouldn't let up! "I'm kicking your ass and Freeing this country!" Leroy Declared as another attack sped towards him! Claws yet again! "Feral Manus!"
