GOFF-Iken Versus Karasu and Leo

It was a calm, humid, and sunny day with a slight breeze making the overall temperature nice for those who were relaxing. A large forest with a large variety of trees and plants filled a small island from coast to coast. The island was sub tropical and was only seven miles East to West and 10 mile North to South. Albeit a rather small island it would be relatively easy to to get lost in the thick forest and brush that covered the vast majority of it. In the middle of the island was a small lake that would only a mile long and wide. The lake was as blue as the ocean the surround the the island, the only difference was it was of fresh water. On the west side of the island there is a small town with a port, the town consisted a many wooden shacks spread along the coast.

Iken was walking along the semi sandy coats the island looking for new nakama. Every time the young man took a step sand would get everywhere and all over his boots, but Iken didn't really seem to mind. Iken was a young man in his early 20's, he hand brown hair with sapphire blue eyes that seemed to glow. He could feel the sun beating down on him, every exposed spot of his white skin was warm from the sun rays. With a small sigh Iken wondered why he can to a practically deserted island on a recruitment mission. Granted there was a small port and fishing village that turned out strong men every once in a while. However right now it seemed that all of the potential members were just that, potential for they were just children.

Leo sat in a lake in the middle of a tropical lake, washing himself. He had been on this island for days with his 1st mate and it was starting to annoy him.
"Are we ever gonna get off this green rock?" he complained to Karasu, annoyed and walking out of the lake

Karasu polishing his 2 guns
"If we want nakama there should be some around here"
Karasu hands Leo a towel.
"besides you shouldnt be complaining, atleast you like the heat"

"Ha, yeah" replied Leo, drying off. Once he finished, he grabbed his 3 swords and started practicing with them on a tree

Karasu sat back and enjoyed the scenery, he dozed off and noticed someone walking their way, "Leo... i think we have a guest"

The heat began to get to Iken, with his heavy coat and cloths he needed to keep hydrated. Iken looked all around and at the ocean that surrounded the island, however he knew he couldn't drink the salty concoction. Knowing the area from studying the islands map beforehand. So this way Iken knew the terrain of the island very well and thus knew that there was a fresh water lake in the center of the island.

Entering the forest Iken walked through the thick trees and shrubbery that separated him from the life giving water of the lake. Before long the forest became almost impassible, this called for Iken to unsheathe his sword. He pulled out his lightning blade. As he pulled it out a crackling was head, this noise became louder the more he revealed of the blade. Using the electrical current of the sword to increase cutting power, Iken was able to easily to cut through even the largest of trees.

As Iken got closer and closer to the water source the smell of the fresh water became stronger and stronger. With his super sense of smell Iken could smell it miles away. However Iken could smell something else too, he could smell that there were at least two other humans near the lake. Deciding not to even bother with them Iken continued to walk through the forest towards the lake.

Leo turned around to see a giant tree fall out of view
"i think its safe to say whoever that is is powerful" said Leo, getting into a fighting stance

Karasu quickly got up, picking up his now new looking guns, he puts both guns in front of him in a fighting stance,both arms aiming straight at the guest.

Iken continued to walk towards the lake until it came into sight, two men also came into sight at the same time. Both of them were in fighting stances, one with a gun and the other with swords. They were directed at Iken in a threatening manner. This wasn't what Iken wanted whats so ever, he was thirsty and didn't want to fight over a drink of water. However Iken wasn't going to let this slide, he wasn't weak and didn't need to back down. The two men needed to learn that threatening a pirate captain wasn't a smart thing to do.

With his free hand Iken reached behind his back, he then pulled out a six foot long metal spear. In his occupied hand Iken still held the crackling lightning blade ready to strike. Slowly walking closer Iken was ready to jump into action, if either of them attacked Iken would counter. Iken's senses were on overdrive as his heart pumped oxygen and adrenaline to his muscles. All of the tension made the following moments very surreal and it seemed that they lasted for an eternity each.

"Lower your weapons, I wont back down. I'm here to get some water and if you attack I wont hold back." Iken said with a stern voice.

Leo looked at Iken intently, he was strong, probably stronger than both of them combined. Leo looked at Karasu "he didnt do anything, and he just wants some water, theres no need to fight right now" he said lowering his weapon slowly, hoping karasu would do the same

Karasu looks at Leo, and stares back at the self proclaimed captain.
"Leo what would Anubis think of us if we back down from a fight, im going to be warlord of the sea one day, and that means Ill never back down from a fight." Karasu looks at the man proclaimed to be a captain,"WELL LET YOU DRINK,IT WOULDNT BE A FAIR FIGHT UNLESS BOTH SIDES ARE AT THEIR FULLEST!!" screamed karasu, then he walked back to the tree and sat down in the shade, with both guns still in his hands.

"ehhh" said Leo, face palming "go ahead, sorry about that indecent, my friends a little eccentric" he said to iken

"Sigh....if you want to fight fine. I'll show you hell, I'll drink later when you two can no longer stand." Iken said with confidence.

Iken was an honorable man that believe that fighting should only be done when necessary. It seemed that the man was gun ho to fight and wouldn't take no for an answer. Being an honorable man Iken wouldn't strike first, little lone when the mans guard was down. Getting into a fighting stance Iken waited for the two men to come at him.

"Come on if we must do this, lets get it over with." said Iken in a calm collected tone.

Karasu accepted the challenge and got prepared, he put both his guns infront of him, he will not fire until his captain gives the order. His blood now pumping his aim will surely be better. His Pistols triggers seemed less heavy.
-is this what they call being trigger happy?- he thought

"...go" said Leo blandly, obviously not wanting to do the fight, he shot fire at Ikens head

Karasu waited, when he heard his captains "go" he shot into action. Shooting 10 bulletts in a fast manner while swinging his guns, making them curve and become unpredictable. Aiming mostly at his head and upper body. -The distance should give me an advantage- thought karasu

Despite the two mens speed, this was nothing Iken couldn't handle with a few quick moves. Stabbing his spear into the ground Iken used the newly free hand to once again reach behind his back. This time he pulled out a large orange European style long sword. Despite having little time to react Iken was able to do so much due to training. The training allowed him to use the surreal moments that happened naturally in every human to do amazing things.

As the fireball sped towards his head Iken swung his Rejection Slayer at the fireball. The sword sliced the ball in half with out much difficultly causing it to dissipated instantly into nothingness. All the time Iken stayed in the same calm state not hesitating or jumping the gun for even an instant. Iken's battle experience certainly put him over the edge in the case as it did a majority of the time. Surging electricity in the blade of his lightning blade he caused it to magnetize attracting the curved bullets to it instead of their original target of his body.

"Namikaze Fan Shield"

Putting the two swords hilt to hilt Iken began to slowly spin them. Faster and faster the two blades seemed to appear as one solid object. As the bullets came close Iken, spun the swords faster and faster. Soon all ten bullets were in range and all ten of the bullets hit Iken's swords. The bullets bounced off the swords doing no damage what so ever. Iken smiled, he could easily counter both of them at the same time, he had confidence that he already had the fight in the bag.

Leo watched Iken in awe and horror "im going to die" he thought to himself and then turned to Karasu again "you wanna keep fighting?"

Karasu watched as his bullets were easily countered, this fight wasnt going to be easy for him, but if he ever wanted to be a schinchibukai hed need the resolve to do it, he looked at his enemy. karasu stood for a moment and thought a plan to counter his defense. "Leo.." he whispered "im gunna need you to Fill the air in front of me with fire, i have an idea" he whispered lowly. "Just make it wide ok captain?" we will not die today, he thought to himself"we will keep fighting till our last breath, i only take orders from you and this guys pissing me OFF!!", this last part was heard well from the island.

"what are you up to?" asked leo "oh well" he said as he put his hands out Mera Mera TITAL WAVE he yelled as the air and ground filled with fire

Karasu witnessed his captains great strength once more,"this is why i joined you" he whispered in low voice, BULLET STOORM!!
Hundreds of bullets were fired through the hot Flames covering the complete front side of karasu, The bullets came in hundreds covering a shade that seemd unhumanly, the Bullets curved marking at The sorrounding area of The captain, Aiming for his entire body and most of his sorroundings, after fired karasu kneeled in pain as his fingers began to numb. "The heat.." he whispered to Leo "will take away the magnetism from my bullets", "and the covering you just gave me made... it possible to surprise him". His fingers turn purple for hitting the trigger hundreds of times in a second.

Iken figured the wall of flame was some sort of smoke screen and they were planning something. To be safe Iken needed to be prepared for anything, he knew even weak fighters could pull out miracles if they were pressed hard enough. This was a simple trait the almost every human possessed, when being controlled to tightly they always find a way. All of the sudden Iken seen super hot flaming bullets emerge from the fire. Iken was rather surmised they were going with such a forward attack. Even with the large number of bullets coming at him Iken wasn't all the impressed, the battle was rather stale and nether side moved on bit.

Once again Iken put his swords hilt to hilt and began spinning the quickly at high speeds. The two blade soon began to spin so fast that they seemed like one solid object. This time was different from the last time Iken blocked, the bullets weren't attracted to his lightning blade like they were before. Despite this fact the hundreds of hot bullets still collided with the two swords. Some of the bullets were cut into pieces before ricocheting, while the rest just hit and plopped down like all of their energy was stolen.

"Namikaze Fan Shield"

Iken wasn't a stupid man he figured out why the bullets weren't attracted right away. The fire heated up the metal bullets so they lost their magnetism thus were not attracted to his lightning sword. Being a rather battle smart person Iken also knew when to act and when not to, and now was his chance. The foe gave him a tool to work with, the wall of flame was his to use now in his favor. Picking up his spear Iken got ready to throw it, however the foe wouldn't know this since their view of Iken was cut off. All the two noticed was a six foot long spear hurtling towards the from an extremely close distance. The spear seemed to just appear from with in the fire, it was aimed directly for Leo.

Leo watched the bullets go through the fire and out of sight. He waited for a few seconds, then he heard it. It sounded like a whooshing sound of some sort. Just to be safe, Leo geppoed into the air, and below him, a spear shot out "wow" he said "i couldve been a goner" now being above the wall of fire he could see Iken standing there. Leo growled and said to himself "time for my ultimate attack, it probably wont get him that bad but its worth a shot.

Leo ingulfed his body in flames in the air and let himself start falling. As he fell and picked up major speed, he suddenly sorued 5 feet above Iken. During that short amount of time, he crawled into a ball position and then yelled out MERA MERA METEOR STRIKE

While His captain Jumped karasu remembered the coordinates of the enemy, He sat down and used his middle finger to fire, -i shoot normally with this but its still a shot- Karasu Shot 2 bullets aiming for the captains head, if he stopped to counter the captains meteor strike... he wouldnt notice the 2 bullets heading towards his head in such a short time.

Despite Iken's spear missing it's target it still pretty much severed it's purpose and Iken was ready. Iken's foe was doing something, it looked interesting to Iken so Iken watched as the man caught on fire. To Iken's surprise the man began to fall downward at high speeds. He literally made himself into a living meteor-man. As the man fell towards Iken with a great force, Iken figured he had a couple of options.

Iken could block and potentially end the fight by killing the young man by slashing him with the sword. Or Iken could do something else, he could try out a new move he had recently developed. Iken then noticed the two bullets coming at his head that were fired from the other mans gun. Of course Iken could still block both attacked since he had two swords in hand. However Iken decided to go with his new move just as the mans attack would have hit.

Leo's attack hit causing dirt from the ground to shoot upwards and the fire from his body to shoot out in waves outward. His attack hit, however it didn't hit Iken, just the ground. A flash of yellow light from behind Karasu gave him no more than a seconds warning as Iken then appeared inches away from behind Karasu. All he would have seen was a yellow flash. Iken had his lightning blade only moments away from slashing the gunman from behind.
