"YAAAAWN! Alright. I'm game. But only a little. Don't wanna mess up my place and I'm a bit sleepy after that meal. So how about just something quick?"
"Fine by me."
Both of you get up from your seats and start moving downwards.
As you're about to leave however Nutmeg pulls you back.
"Hey. Good luck!"
"Thanks!"
You go down with Roronoa and have the area cleared for you. It wouldn't be too nice if someone got caught in your clash. Zoro then pulls the bandanna off his sleeve and puts it on his head. He then draws two blades and puts one of them in his mouth, then he takes out his last sword with his freed up hand.
"I gotta say, I've been itching to try on for size for a while now."
"How are you talking like that?"
"Now we'll see if you're a swordsman or just a dumbass with a sharp stick."
He crosses his arms in front of him with the swords pointing upwards. You get a chill from just looking at him.
"Oooooh. You got spicy swords too! Nice!"
Your skeletal hand moves to withdraw Argent from its scabbard. Instinctively you hold the sword with both hands as you suspect you'll need it.
"I always wondered what happens when those clash!"
"Santoryu: Rengoku-"
As he's pulling back in preparation for the attack you start to focus and your eyes glint red.
"Red Voice!"
"-ONI GIRI!"
He takes off in a mad dash so fast he disappears from sight. In that instant you take a step forward and thrust out the tip of Argent with all your might. A loud crash can be heard when Zoro suddenly appears at blade point. There is no impact, no great explosion, nothing. Just him standing there with his three swords crossed at a single point and Argent holding all three back. His sole eye quickly darts to where you struck him. He is too seasoned of a fighter to display shock from just that. But from the spike in his heartbeat it becomes obvious that he is in disbelief.
"Zowie that was close!"
Another step forward and you blow his swords back. He stumbles backwards before stopping, his blades shaking.
"How did you-"
"That's where the weakpoint is, isn't it?"
You tap your shoulder with Argents spine.
"Just before striking you cross all three swords to hit someone with three times power. Smart. But if you hit that point with just enough strength you can stop it all."
"I-Incredible..."
"Hmmmm? What's wrong Soul King? You're shivering."
"Nothing Jinbe-san. I'm just... taken aback. I haven't seen Zoros marvelous swordplay in two years. And now his technique is more terrifying than ever. And yet... the young man perfectly stopped it. That thrust was... perfect."
