Hakumani Akito vs Rizono Siko

Location - One of the unnamed islands in the Grand Line.

Details - People usualy avoid this island, because of its emptiness. This island is famous for not being good for absolutely anything. Soil and climate hire are so volatile that no living creature or plant can survive for long. The waters around the island are actually a ring of thick mud. There are no fish in those waters. On top of this every night the soil exhaust clouds of poisonous gas, that almost has no effect on living creatures, but within minutes infects all the food and water it reaches. The island was shaped like a crescent, and was several miles long. The entire island was smooth. There was even a single hill. The island was only 20 meters above sea level, but the mug around it protected it from strong waves.

Prehistory - Siko sent note with a duel challenge to Akito. There was written to meet on that island and at that day, exactly at 07:45 PM.

Time - 07:51 PM

Siko walked calmly. on the crumbly soil. Today was one of the few days that he was smiling for no reason. He had come for a duel, so he had to be serious. Siko seemed as if seeking someone.

Akito also walked on the island. He wore black jeans with a black leather belt (like always) and a white button-up shirt (again: Like always.) His shirt's top two buttons were undone. On his feet he wore black dress-shoes. Over his shirt was a black tie. Hanging from his waist was Shashu, and strapped across his back was his Bat Blade. He walked with long strides, his head dipped a little, and his hands jammed into his jean's pockets. hanging from one of his wrists was his black bag. He looked around a bit before seeing a man with an orange bandana and a green sash. That must be him. Thought Akito, as there was no other person on the island.

The young pirate smiled out of politeness. He waved his hand to greet Akito. The guy looket just like the photo on the wanted poster.
"Yo, Whtie Bat. I'm glad you came. You accept the challenge, right?"

Akito took his left hand out of his pocket and waves slightly, before slipping it back into his pocket. "Siko, right?" He greeted, calling out to Siko. "If I hadn't accepted the challange, I probably wouldn't be here." He joked, walking up to Siko. He stopped walking once he reached the older man. "So, shall we begin?" He leaned forwards slightly , before rocking back on his heels.

"Yeah..." he said calmly "...We shall."
Although not knowning his opponent, Sico knew that the man in front of him had a realy great reward on his head. The first job of the young pirate was to reveal how strong exactly was Akito. He reached out forward with both his hands and whispered "Okuu Okuu no Wall".

// Read the topic about my devil fruit if you had not readed it already.

Akito took a few steps backwards. The giant sword that lay across his back hindered his movement but he didn't want to take the chance of putting it down - His opponent could easily grab it before Akito could react.

Instead, Akito left his Bat Blade strabebd to his back, and drew out Shashu. The metal blade gleamed in the sunlight. He wouldn't show off his Devil Fruit powers yet but he planend to use them in the battle. He held out Shashu defensively. He would let Siko come, then strike.

"A blade? Fine. Try to cut me!"
Siko didn't waste any time in thinking aboou a great plan or something like that. He just started running towards the other guy, while pushing the invisible wall. The pirate wasn't thinking about stopping before, or after hitting Akito with the wall. He woud just continue pushing it.

Akito noticed that Siko's palms were facing towards Akito while he ran towards him. That could account to one of three things. 1) Siko planned on attacking Akito with a palm thrust.; 2) Siko was pushing... something.; or 3) Siko had an odd way of running. The last one didn't seem very likely, so it was one of the first two... probably. Either way, it probably wasn't good for Akito.

Akito took a few steps back, his sword still held out in front of him. If Siko really was pushing something, then it had to have a limit to how tall it was. Siko was coming at him pretty fast, so Akito would have to hurry if he planned to fly into the air. He wouldn't be able to turn into his bat form with his sword strapped to his back, but he could turn into his Human Bat form. He wasn't as fast in that form, but it was a start.

Akito took a few more steps back and waiting for Siko to reach him.

That will take too much time tought Siko. He was't realy sure about the distance, but it seemed to be less then 50 feet, wich was good enough. Then he just punched the wall with his left fist, sending it flying at Akito. It wasn't as fast as the brick, but it would count as a stroke. After pounching it, Siko reached forward with his right palm and looked at the enemy.

Seeing Siko punch the air worried Akito. What was he punching for? At any rate, Akito knew that he should get out of here. The best place he could think of was the sky, but instead he ran to the right, and a bit backwards, hoping to clear the perimeter of the... thing that Siko sent flying towards him.

At the same time, Akito switched Shashu into his left hand, and put his right hand on the handle of his Bat Blade. Not bothering to take it out yet, but ready to pull it out at any second.

Seeing how Akito dodged, Siko tought Damn! Why everybody does that!? Can't they all just stand still for a second.
He looked at the other pirate. Just now Siko noticed his hair, the great sword on his back and the lack of shoes. Akito sure looked cool. I actualy like this one. he tought.
"Dodge again, if you can!" said Siko "Okuu Okuu no Brick".
But there was no brick or anything. The whole thing was a bluff. Siko pounched at the air, just as if he was sending something flying towards the bat guy again. He was making fun of Akito.

Brick? So he can shoot a brick or something? Thought Akito, panicking slightly. It was clear that he had dodged whatever Siko had already sent at him, but he didn't know what this was. It was obviously a brick, but what was it's dimentions?

Akito dropped low to the ground, his hand stopping him from hitting the ground, into a push-up position. He raised his head and looked at Siko questionably. He waited about 5 seconds, before deciding that the Brick had already passed. He pushed his hands into the ground, straightening his arms, and jumped to his feet. He held out his sword, and waited for Siko's next move. I'll wait a bit longer, then attack. he decided in his head.

Man, he is slow. tought Siko. Still. This is fun.
He pretended to be angry, lowered his eyebrows and gazed at Akito.
"One more time!" he shouted "Okuu Okuu no Hammer~". After that he pounched the air again, but again, it was a bluff. Instead of sending anithing, he created an edged boxing glove, made of solid air, around his right fist.
Even if Siko actualy wanted to laugh at Akito, he still looked furious.

// Look at the fruit's topic again to see the hammer technique.

// It's about time to give you a hint.
// Just think about it. The solid air is invisible. It can't bee seen with eyes, becouse the light just passes through it. The sound however does not pass through it. It's reflected by that air. And you do know what that meens, don't you. You can see the solid air with your sonar.

Akito sighed, and ducked again when the thought hit him. "Invisible, eh?" He chuckled. Akito rolled to the right, and popped onto his feet once he completed a full roll. "Haaaaah." He breathed in deeply and closed his eyes. He suddenly squatted and jumped into the air... 6 feet into the air. His eyes flew open and he removed his swords. His arms moves quickly, throwing them far to his side. They landed on the ground about 40 yards away, handle first so nullify damage to them. Then, as quickly as he had thrown his swords he turned into a bat. "Bat Bat Transformation!" He said right before he transformed.

Sonar... He thought, opening his mouth and sending out an extremely high-pitched cry. The human ear was useless against the sound, but as a bat Akito could use it to tell where objects were. He could hear his swords; Siko; and most importantly: He would be able to hear any invisible objects.

There were none, but an interesting thing was that Siko's right fist seemed to be enlarged more then it appeared to be at first glance. What the... He thought, cocking his head slightly. It's like he has an invisible box around his hand like a... a hammer! He realized suddenly. So his hammer attack created... something around his fist. I'll avoid that one, and fly higher for now. He flew a few feet higher, now flying at 13 feet.

"What the hell !?" tought Siko after seeing the bat form. "You are..." to say it was even more difficult than to believe his own eyes. "You are..." Siкo gazed into the bat ears. He knew very well what those ears are and could recognize them anywhere. "You are a flying lynx!!!"

Akito blinked, then growled. "I'm a bat you fool!" He cried in rage. He flapped his wings and glared down at Siko. He shook his head slightly, chuckling. "Either you SUCK at Zoology, or you are fucking blind." Akito said, emphasizing the "blind". "Ugh." He rolled his eyes, before opening his mouth again. "Sound Wave." He said as he let out a deafening screech. This sound could be heard by humans and was so high-pitched that it hurt! Luckily, bats were immune to it.

After the sound escaped Akito's lips he transformed again into his Human Bat form and flew over to his swords. He landed by them and grabbed them - Bat Blade in his right hand and Shashu in his left hand - then ran at Siko.

"I'm a bat you fool!" - said Akito.

Siko was just about to say something like No, you are not, when he felt great pain in his ears. It felt like hundreds of people screaming in his ears. He could neither speak nor do anything to stop it. Then he saw that the flying lynx guy turned into his "half human - half flying lynx guy" form. The screams stopped, but most of the pain was still there. The flying lynx guy took his swords. Siko was too scared to think, but still... The flying lynx guy ran at Siko.
There wasn't enough time to think. The pirate did the only technique that could stop the lynx guy.
"Okuu Okuu no STOP~!"

// Your turn. Write a post about not moving and not breathing.

Akito suddenly stopped. He couldn't move or breath. Wha... What??? He thought, Crap, what the heck is this guy's power? Akito thought, panicking. He hadn't had time to take a good breath. He had air, but it was about to get very uncomfortable. Crap. I'm going to die. I'm going to run out of air and die! He thought, now stressing out. No... calm down. Gather your senses. As soon as he removes this, if he does, then take a breath and fight. Akito told himself, calming down a bit.

The pain was gone. Siкo finally could relax a little bit.
Less then a minute or it'll be a problem he tought. Ok. The Lynx guy can scream like that. A must not fall to that again. He's going to cut me too. That's bad. Perhaps a wall... Damn! I'm running out of breath.
Siko released the technique. He took a deep breathe and said "Okuu Okuu no Wall"

// By releasing the air, I also released the hammer around my fist.

OOC: Kay

IC: Akito could feel himself start to move again. Finally! He thought, as he inhaled deeply. "Okuu Okuu no Wall!" Said Siko. Akito looked up. That again? Hmm... That was... a wall... He thought, trailing his thoughts off. So, if it's a wall I should go around it or... over it! He took a few steps back, then ran at the wall and jumped 10 feet into the air. He then began flying higher. This should be good. He thought. After flying so that he was directly over Siko, he pointed his sword downwards and stopped flying. "Hehehe..." He chuckled calmly, as he dives towards Siko, his swords pointed at his head.

By flying that high, Akito had given him too much time to think and react.
From the air again tought Siko. This time he had swords with him. It was too obvious what his next move was going to be. Siko stretched out his hand and started saying "Okuu Okuu no.." The lynx guy started falling towards him. Siko waited for the right moment and added "Slide!" He created a slide above himself.
After the swoop Akito should be infront of the wall again.

// Man! I love that ability!

OOC: Damn you. >.<

IC: "WooooaaaaAAAAH!" Cried Akito as he slid down the slide. "Crap." He muttered. He hit the ground hard on his stomach. "Jerk!" He cried, pointing at Siko. He frowned. He would have to come up with a new tactic. And fast! But with that wall there he wouldn't be able to charge at Siko. Sound Wave was effective but took too much time to prepare. Sonar was helpful, but he needed to be able to rely on something else for now.

Suddenly the plan hit him. Perfect! Absolutely perfect! he thought in triumph. He gave Siko a smug look before raising his left arm and sinking his teeth into it. Ow... He thought, flinching. But he needed to finish this. Having made the bite on a vein he sucked... hard. Blood flowed from his body into his mouth. Upon getting the right amount - About half a mouthful - in his mouth, Akito tilted his head up, and removed his teeth from his arm. Then he pursed his lips together, trapping the blood in his mouth. Hehehe. You're going down. He thought. He pushed the blood into his right cheek with his tongue, and bit down on his tongue, trapping the blood in his right cheek. Then he leaked some blood into his mouth, and swallowed that bit. NOW! He thought.

Akito jumped into the air, and flapped his wings. Upon reach a height of around 18 ft he spat the blood at Siko in small bullets. The bullets were small but very destructive. Once the last of the bloos passed his lips he turned into his bat form. Not flapping his wings (for that would take time and he needed to be fast) he opened his mouth and let out a deafening screech again with another Sound Wave attack. He then started falling to the ground, but flapped his wings and kept the Sound Wave coming.

OOC: Check my Devil Fruit topic for information on Blood Bullets.

Siko tought of a great idea. "Okuu Okuu no Wha" he said, and it worked. Now he was deaf. By that time Akito was just finishing his blood drinking. It seemed as he was going to atack from air again. The pirate tought it should be a close ranged atack again, but he was wrong, and he saw that too late.
The first bullet only scratched him on the left shoulder and slightly tore his garment. At that time, Siko has already begun to act. He stretched out his right hand upwards. Just then a second bullet hit him. His left hand was injured - a little lawer from the shoulder. "Okuu Okuu no Lance" shouted Sico, but coudn' t hear his own voice. The solid air protected him, by deflecting the other bullets.
Siko coudn't hear the sound wave too. It didn't affect him. His left arm however was too injured and it was hard to move it around.
Siko started running towards Akito with his lance infront of him. He was Using his "Okuu Okuu no Step" technique to get close to the lynx guy. He was about to try to stab him.

// Check the "Wha" and "Lance" techniques in the topic.

Akito saw Siko step up into the air. What the hell? He thought, astonished by the fact that his Sonic Wave wasn't affecting him. In a split second Akito adjusted the pitch of his screech into Sonar. That's when he saw the block of air Siko was standing on, and the air around his ears. But what he saw best was the lance in Siko's hand. Akito's bat-eyes widened and he closed his mouth. Crap! He thought, panicking once more. He suddenly flew sharply upwards. Dammit! This guy's going to stab me with that! His Devil Fruit power... what is it? Can he harden air or something? He thought as he flew.

Akito looked down and saw his swords - He had dropped them when he slid down the slide. My last chance... He thought. He sharply dived down, flying towards his sword with impossible speeds. Upon reaching 3 ft above the ground he turned into his Human Bat form. Not flying, he hit the ground hard. "Oof!" He grunted as the impact scraped his cheek. Not holding back because of the sudden impact he jumped to his feet and grabbed his swords. His Bat Blade in his right hand, and Shashu in his left hand. He then turned to face Siko. Come on, Air-Man. He thought, snarling slightly. He held his Bat Blade by his side, and Shashu was held out defensively.

"Stand still you freak" shouted Siko, who was still thinking that a lynx should not be flying around. He couldn't hear his own voice, but didn't care about that anyway. When Akito dived down Siko just jumped after him without using his step technique (until he reached 6 feet above the ground). After the free falling, he stepped on the air again and began falling slower. Siko jumped towards Akito, trying to stab him with the lance one more time.
