100- Zora VS. Akira

After Zora repels Akira's attack for Lucy, her fight with Akira continues.

Akira started swinging his sword quickly and forcefully toward Zora while looking at her coldly.

At a close range, Zora leans toward Akira, using two of her swords to block Akira's attacks while twisting her body around as she is constantly moving to approach and eventually tried cutting through Akira's stomach with the third sword.

Akira moved his sword and placed it in front of his stomach to block the third sword attack.

Next, Zora executes a multi-hit running attack with two swords held out like a bull's horns.

Akira was able to predict every attack Zora made, and he easily fended off them during the attack as well.

Zora retreated to dodge the attack, then holding her two swords horizontally above the shoulder, Zora then performs a circular swing that launches two air pressed projectiles spiraling towards Akira.

*Nanajuni Pound Ho*

Akira grabbed his sword vertically and swung it at great speed and shot a wind blade toward Zora's attack.

When the two attacks collided with each other, Zora's attack disintegrated and Akira's wind blade continued to advance toward her.

Zora leaped aside to dodge the attack, then holding her two swords horizontally above the shoulder and the other in her mouth in the same direction, and then performs a circular swing that launches three air compressed projectiles spiraling towards Akira instead of two, tripling the power of the technique.

*Hyakuhachi Pound Ho*

Akira's expression did not change and he did the same attack as before and unleashed a wind blade, but unlike last time this time both attacks disintegrated when they collided with each other.

*Soru*

Immediately after that, Akira moved very quickly and disappeared from his place and then appeared near Zora and swung a sword in a circle trying to cut off her head.

Zora crossed her sword in front of the attack, but Akira's sword, as if it was a snake, moved smoothly between the two swords and continued its attack. Fortunately, Zora was able to stop the attack with the sword in her mouth.

*Gazami Dori*

After Zora repels the attack she positions all three swords are horizontally parallel, suddenly clamping down on the target like a crab's claw for a guillotine like effect that would normally cut a person's head off.

*Tekkai*

Akira used Tekkai which can hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, in order to nullify damage taken from attack Zora.

Sparks flew when Zora's swords collided with Akira's neck but didn't leave a single scratch on him, if she wanted to cut it while he was using Tekkai she would have to use a stronger attack than this.

As soon as Zora lifted the swords from Akira's neck, he started moving again and swinging his sword very quickly towards Zora, but Zora was able to block the attack.

After that the two of them continued to fight closely and their movements were very fast and sparks were flying from their swords, neither one retreated nor lost one to the other.

After a while of fighting like this, Akira backed away and then looked at Zora coldly.

"You are a good swordswoman and it is fun to fight against you, but I will end this fight here." Akira said indifferently and then gripped his sword tightly, ready to use one of his strongest attacks.

*Sen no sashi kizu*

*a thousand stabs*

Akira uses his maximum speed to bring his sword forward repeatedly in a blurry, rapid barrage of strong stabs that creates the illusion of his having multiple swords.

Zora tried to block all the stabs, but she couldn't because Akira's attack is very fast, but she was able to block the stabs that targeted her vital areas. Wounds started to accumulate on her body, but over time she started getting used to Akira's attacks and she started to block better.

As indicated by the name of the technique, Akira continued to stab more than a thousand stab wounds before stopping, and Zora was able to block the last hundred stab perfectly.

Zora was able to learn Kenbunshoku Haki while blocking Akira's quick stabs.

A bit of surprise appeared on Akira's face but it didn't last long until he returned to apathy, "Let's see if you can stop this."

*Sekishingessha*

*Red Crescent*

Akira gripped his sword horizontally tightly and a powerful aura emerged from his body and when he swung his sword horizontally, a crescent-shaped, red-colored air pressed projectiles then spurted out.

Zora felt so pressured by this attack, if she didn't use her full strength at this moment, she would definitely be killed.

*Kiki Kyutoryu: Ashura*

Zora, with her Tetsusaiga in her mouth and her other two blades held out in front of her, creates an illusion born of her spirit.

To onlookers, it appears as if Zora gains an additional pair of heads and four more arms, all wielding duplicates of her swords—each appearing twice more, for nine swords total. At the same time, an indistinct, six-armed, asura-like silhouette forms behind Zora, the same entity she comes to resemble.

*Ashura: Ichibugin*

Zora, holding her swords so that the blades are pointing toward the red crescent and Akira. She leaps toward them at great speeds, powerfully slashes them with all nine of his swords at once, and ends up behind Akira's back, holding her blades in a manner that makes them look fanned out.

The attack was strong enough to disperse Akira's Red Crescent—his strongest attack—by turning the massive slash wave into "mist" before slicing up Akira, finishing him off.

The two swords shattered into Zora's hand after performing this technique.

Shock was evident on Akira's face even after he died (due to Zora's attack), Akira had not expected to die so easily at the hands of someone who had not entered the Grand Line.

Zora killed the Vice Captain of the Steel Fist Pirates: Akira who had a bounty of 100,000,000 Belly on his head.

Once the fight was over, Ethan appeared at Zora's side and used magic to stop Zora's bleeding and then held her in his arms. "You did a good job. You are much stronger than before, and you will be stronger in the future."

Zora smiled upon hearing Ethan's words, after which they both looked at Lucy's still unfinished battle.

At this moment, two notices from the system appeared in front of Ethan.

[Devil Fruit user (lizard lizard Fruit: Chameleons) has been killed, Do you want to get his Devil Fruit for 3,000 points]

[Devil Fruit user (Blaze-Blaze Fruit) has been killed, Do you want to get his Devil Fruit for 2,000 points]

[The users of these Devil Fruits in Southern City died at the hands of Kuina and Makino]

'Shouldn't I at least be close to the user in order to extract the Devil Fruit.' Confusion appeared on Ethan's face.

[Since the last system upgrade, the system can extract Devil Fruits from dead people near your harem members.]
