Stussy Vs Borusalino

[ Stussy POV ]

0 Division Ship

I had kicked Borusalino back to create some space between us.

I wanted to test the limits of my strength, and fighting Borusalino was the best way to go about it. Borusalino was now standing on a clearing generally used for training by the crew. 

"Hm~ The Vampire Queen seems to want to fight me, how scary~," Borusalino remarked.

"Seeing how strong you are, it shouldn't be too much trouble, right?~" I asked sweetly.

Borusalino didn't have a chance to reply because he immediately ducked under my straight punch. I immediately followed up with a descending elbow, to which he held my arm in defense before raising his shoe and kicking me back.

"I was sent to watch the 0 Division.....I never thought I'd end up fighting you all.." Borusalino remarked.

"Don't worry, you'll be watching us. While playing with me!" I swiped across Borusalino with my claws, only for my claws to phase through him.

I began swiping furiously at him with both claws as they went through him. It was strange because I had already coated my claws with Armament Haki.

"He's using Observation Haki to predict your next move before dodging," Boris pointed out from behind me.

Borusalino's eyes narrowed a bit before jumping back a bit. He landed on top of the railing covering the ship's edge. 

"I'd love to stick around and play for a while...but I got to report back~," Borusalino said before quickly turning into light and reappearing high in the sky.

'I guess it's time to test that thing out.'

I had learned quite a bit about my Devil Fruit abilities. One was teleportation, but it was more of a theory I hadn't put into practice before.

I focused all my concentration on appearing next to Borusalino as the man continued flying away from our ship. Eventually, I began to feel something encompassing me before I immediately felt a change in gravity.

Opening my eyes, I locked them right into the surprised Borusalino as he tried evading my next moves. However, it was too late, even for someone as fast as him.

I grabbed his face right before teleporting back on the ship. Shoving him to a wall that happened to be near the cabin. I didn't want to destroy the ship, so I held back a bit of strength when I threw him.

The walls cracked when Borusalino slammed onto it. However, he was more shocked about what had just happened rather than being in pain. 

"That's a rather troublesome ability..." Borusalino muttered as he slowly stood up, "It's going to be troublesome trying to get away with that ability targeting me..." 

He immediately turned to light before appearing right before me, raising his glowing leg for a kick.

"So I'll just put you down and leave~," Borusalino said before making an axe kick at me.

My eyes narrowed as I rolled to the side to dodge the kick. The kick destroyed the deck's floors, causing a miniature explosion on the ship.

"Hey! If you're going to fight on the ship, try to leave it in one piece!" Boris called out from the background.

Boris remained sitting on that barrel and was now smoking a cigarette.

"You should pay attention~," Borusalino said as he was beside me.

I teleported away from him before he could land another kick on me.

"Yasakani Sacred Jewel," Borusalino called out as he spread his arms.

Countless projectiles of light immediately made their way towards me. I immediately began running to the side to avoid the attack. Leading to even more damage to the ship.

"You Marine idiots are going to pay for damages if you keep this up," Boris growled from behind the smoke as I kept running.

'I need a change of pace'

I immediately teleported behind him before sweeping at his legs. Borusalino immediately jumped before turning into light and reappearing on the cabin roof.

"Yasakani Sacred Jewel"

More light projectiles made their way at me, leading me to start another dodging spree as more and more parts of the ship were destroyed due to the battle. 

'I'm not going to win this fight like this; I have to find a way to counter those damned light beams.'

I immediately summoned some purple mist before transforming it into spear-like shapes. I immediately ran after him as I sent those spears his way. I kicked the planked floor before jumping to meet him eye to eye.

"Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven"

Borusalino immediately reacted before summoning a light sword and swiping it at me without hesitation.

I immediately coated my forearms with Armament Haki before blocking the attack directly, sending me flying through the mast of our already substantially destroyed ship.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you guys not to destroy the ship?"

The mast groaned as it slowly began to fall. 

"Everybody get out of the ship and head back to Water 7!" Boris immediately instructed as he leaped towards the mast.

"Hm~ your ship doesn't look too good. Shouldn't you be trying to help him contain the situation on the ship?" Borusalino asked.

I hesitated for a bit before taking that opportunity to lunge at Borusalino. This ship was already beginning to sink, so it was obvious that Boris had no intention of saving the ship and fixing it to his liking.

Borusalino immediately swiped at me with his blade of light. I ducked before landing two quick stabs on Borusalino's side, but I couldn't draw blood because Borusalino had already coated his side with Armament Haki before I could make contact with his flesh.

I jumped back before Borusalino swung his light blade right at the spot where I had been. The blade slid through more parts of the ship and caused an even bigger explosion than he had caused earlier.

The shadow of a gigantic axe immediately appeared after. Borusalino's eyes narrowed to a pin as he did his best to bend his body to dodge the attack.

Fortunately or unfortunately, he could dodge the attack before his head was split in two.

That moment of distraction allowed me to take advantage and land some attacks on Borusalino.

However, I had to admit that Borusalino's Observation Haki was better than mine. Fighting him became even more challenging because he was able to predict what my next moves would have been and was dodging them accordingly.

"If you want to beat him, you're going to need to think outside of the box," Boris said as he landed on the slowly sinking ship. The mast had already fallen to the ship's side, causing massive flooding to infest the ship.

I didn't have much time to fight Borusalino now; when the ship sank, he'd have the advantage because he was much faster than me when flying. He was the speed of light, after all.

I wasted no time lunging at him and started launching more and more attacks at him. Borusalino had already discarded his light sword, and he was now simply dodging everything I was trying to hit him with. 

"Scary~ if I weren't a light human, I'd have died ten times over~," Borusalino commented.

"Shut up," I growled.

It was apparent that I had a long way to go if I was going to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Borusalino.

"I think that's enough," Boris suddenly said as he landed beside me.
