Serious: Sorel Pirates Chapter 2: Travelling towards Arabasta

((Cant post now; will post soon))

Shadow spun around, being engulfed in a shroud of smoke.

"Huh?! What's going on?!"


((Cant really post much till Anime posts))

"What the...WHO THE HELL DARES TO SLAP ME?!" Raphael shouted and spun around with a sword slash, not seeing anything because of the smoke.

When the cloud of smoke faded away, two similar characters emerged from inside. Two characters looking exactly the same. Down to even the smallest detail. There were two Raphael Sorels on the deck.
"Was it you who slapped me in the face?! You'll regret that!" The other Sorel attacked the other one with a lunge.

Shadow saw two Reapheals.
"Dam it, two times the lame-ness."
He crawled up to the fighting Sorels, and started ringing for no reason.

Raphael counterattacked with an evasive action which is initiated by dropping a hand to the floor and lowering the body under the opponent's oncoming blade accompanied by a straightening of the sword arm to attempt a hit on the opposing combatant.

Raphael(fake) parried the attack by swinging his sword in a circular motion and jumped over Sorel(real) and slashed down at him.

Raphael (real) spinned around and blocked the slash. "You're pretty good." he said "But I'm better" and he kicked towards the fake's stomach.

Zero got a bunch of rope from belowdeck and went to attach his boat to the back of the marine ship, away from the battling Raphael Sorel's and the rest of the Sorel crew.

"shall I eat one of them and see which one is real?"
traffic yelled from the sorel ship
(ps sorry for the late response, I didn't get a notice of a new post)

"But what if you eat the real one?" Olcadan yelled back while fighting off marines "Then we'll have no more captain!"

"Traffic, are you nuts? I will not allow you to eat me!" The fake kicked at the real one's leg, quite effectively blocking the kick. The fake dropped another smoke bomb on the deck and started slashing and stabbing at Sorel rapidly inside the cloud of smoke.

"Traffic, you moron, if you're going to eat anyone, at least eat the snail!". After the smoke bomb hit the deck and the real one noticed he was attacked he used his Defènce Rapide (Rapid Defense; combines his superhuman speed to swing his blade around him, parrying incoming attacks and bullets).

Zero leaps on board, nullifying the sound with clever positioning. He then activates his breath dials to take him to the tob of the cabin on the deck, but behind the highest part. He takes a position and observes

"Whichever one is the bigger idiot, we know it's Rapheal!" Shadow shouted from the deck.

"but captain... what should I do?!"
traffic asked sad

"LIKE I SAID, IF YOU GONNA EAT SOMEONE, EAT THE SNAIL AND THE FAKE ONE OVER HERE!!!" Raphael shouted.

"Okay, that spazzy one is Rapheal" Shadow pointed out. "Quick, eat him and use the fake as our captain"

This could devolve fast. Zero pressed his wrists and two blades sprang from the sleeves of his suit. He still kept hidden, awaiting for when One decided to flee.

The fake decided that he should start fighting at full power. And that is what he did.
He touched his face with his left hand and he turned back into himself and hit Raphael's rapier aside with his own and dropped his rapier. Dekal charged closer and started stabbing at Raphael with all his fingers at the same time (Shigan).

He demorphed. He's not going to stand if this continues. Zero leaped down from the roof, using his breath dials and descending in between Raphael and One and turning towards the other crewmembers.

After his Rapier was hit aside, Raphael thought Damn it, this is going nowhere, if it continues like this neither of us will get a clean shot. he then duck a little bit and let the fingers hit him in his left shoulder. After that he stabbed towards his opponent.

Olcadan jumped towards the newly arrived opponent and tried to cross slash him with his clawed feet while shouting "FUKUROU KIRI!".

As Olcadan approached, Zero clacked his elbows together and surged forward just enough to get the newly sprang left elbow blade to the point where the claws crossed each other. Then he thrust with his right wristblade at Olcadan's neck.

After his claws were blocked Olcadan saw a blade coming towards his neck and blocked it with his left wrist-guard, he then proceeds to launch a punch at his opponents right elbow in an attempt to break it.

Zero did a specific tap with both his legs, before throwing himself back, causing the strike to miss. He then placed his hand on the ground behind him and struck upwards with the feet blades that were now there, slashing at Olcadan. He finished by flipping into a standing position somewhat further back than he was before.
(Err, is Olcadan approved? I see no admin posts in the thread for that char...)
