 Riza Myew Nekozawa
The Sharp Shooter Kitty
Riza came back to Syrup village and stood at the entrance for a bit then took a deep breath and exhailed with a small smile. She had a good reason for comming here a very good reason. Her cat ears twitched slightly as she began to walk along the docks of Syrup village hearing the waves crash up against the peir. The sound of the ocean was soothing to her, it reminded her of the good old times when she was with her old crew out on the seas. Often times it was hard getting by cause they were on the run from many navymen and women. She gritted her teeth slightly thinking about the navy as she clenched her fists angrly. The navy....oh how she hated the navy.......They will pay for what they have done to her friends......

Riza Myew Nekozawa
The Sharp Shooter Kitty
Riza then let out a sigh and loosened up calming herself down as she closed her eyes and continued to walk. She suddenly stopped and looked to the side slightly to a forest narrowing her eyes slightly. The closest entrance to the forest from here. Riza then turned her body to face the forest and put a hand on her hip leaning to one side slightly. There was a rumor going on that Capitan Kuro was hanging out in the forests of Syrup town. Personaly she couldnt wait to meet him but wasnt sure if he would think the same of her. She let her hands drop to her side and took one last calming breath before she started walking into the forest her tail flicking back and foward behind her keeping her aware of her surroundings just incase something or someone was watching her.

Riza Myew Nekozawa
The Sharp Shooter Kitty
A sudden sound of bushes rustling caught her ears making her lower to the ground looking around her. Her hands were at the ready so she could fight if she needed to. Suddenly someone appeared behind her making her turn her head quickly and saw a tall man with sleeked hair and glasses over his peircing eyes. It was capitan Kuro, the person she wanted to see. He was the capitan of a crew who were catlike but noone of them were appealing at all."A cat lover eh? What may I do for you my fellow cat?" he asked pushing up his glasses with his palm. Riza turned to face him, it looked like he was going to be sincere since she had the apperance of a cat."I want you to teach me." she said sounding confident.

Riza Myew Nekozawa
The Sharp Shooter Kitty
Kuro at first looked at her then smirked pushing his glasses up again."I see, and here i though i would have a new crew member. Oh well." he said in a low meowing voice."I'm flattered by the thought but im already part of a crew." Riza said staring up at him looking at his hands slightly knowing that they probably had the claw gloves on them. She really should get herself a set of claws it wold go nicely with her image."What are you going to do with the technique I am going to teach you?" Kuro asked as the glare from his glasses hid his eyes and linked his hands behind him waiting for her responce. Riza gave a cold expression."I am going to avenge my fallen crew mates." She responded as Kuro pushed up his glasses one final time then smirked."Hm i see, well then lets see what you can do...." he said.
Stealth Walk 4/4!

Riza Myew Nekozawa The Sharp Shooter Kitty Riza got back to Syrup village and let out a small yawn not really expecting to come back but she needed two learn something else from the kitty captian kuro before she felt satisfied with her skills and abilities in the east. She walked back along the port the way she had came prior to this then entered the woods again. Oddly Kuro wasnt coming out as fast as he did before. So she was begining to wonder if something was wrong. Razor Claws Attack 1/5 Walking deeper and deeper into the woods Riza found a big group of odd cat looking people sleeping in a group. Ah it was nap time, at the end of the great mob of cats was Captian Kuro who was also sleeping. Riza stood where she was for a moment before quietly making her way to where Kuro was resting. When she got to where he was she squatted down and waved her hand in front of his face to see if he was even concious but got no reaction.'Guess hes really out.' Riza thought to herself and stood stretching. The atmosphere was so calming with everyone sleeping. Razor Claws Attack 2/5 Riza let out a silent yawn and looked back to Kuro who was sleeping. He would make a good uncle. Then again Chef Zeff would as well, he was like a coconut. Hard on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside. It took Riza a moment to realize how odd that sounded and frowned. Mabye she was at the Baratie a bit too long. Now she was starting to use food to explain things. Now that she thought about it mabye she should do something nice for the Kuro kitty for teaching her and what not. Just because she was a pirate that didnt mean she couldnt be polite. Razor Claws Attack 3/5 Riza sat down and thought for a bit, what should she do? Mabye a bottle of milk? Yea that could suffice, so riza crept off to the village and looked around for bottles of milk. At first she wasnt successful but then she found three bottles of milk sitting outside of a house. Her eyes became shifty as her tail flicked behind her and her ears twitched. She then snuck over to the house and stole two of the bottles and rushed off. Now true pirates stole but the fact that she was stealing milk was a little odd even for her. Razor Claws Attack 4/5 When Riza got back everyone was sleeping in the same way she last saw them, even Kuro. She must have moved a lot faster than she thought, pushing the thought aside she crept over to Kuro and set the bottles next to him staring at him once more. Normaly people would be thinking what a strange guy but naturaly she could relate because she was cat like as well. Seeing that Kuro wasnt going to wake up anytime soon she clicked out her claws and wrote a little message for him to read in the tree bark. Just to let him know that she gave him the milk and that shed hopfully see him soon. With the message in place Riza left Syrup Village. Razor Claws Attack 5/5!

Riza Myew Nekozawa The Sharp Shooter Kitty Just as Riza was about to leave someone caught her by the wrist making her turn her head to see who it was. It was Captian Kuro he was holding the two bottles in one hand."Care to have a drink?" he asked. Riza thought for a while then nodded."Alright." she said, Kuro let go of her wrist and motioned for her to follow him so she did. They stopped off at a peek that over looked the ocean and the peir. Cats outta the bag 1/6 Kuro took a seat on the rock while Riza plopped onto the grass, Kuro tossed her one of the milk jars. She caught it with casual ease and opened it then drank a little bit while Kuro chugged most of it down in one big sip. Riza held the bottle with both hands watching the waves roll in and out. Kuro then opened his mouth as his elbows leaned against his knees."Tell me Kitten what made you decide to be the way you are? ... Not that i care, just.....curious." He said and pushed up his glasses with his palm Cats outta the bag 2/6 Riza looked at Kuro from the corner of her eye then back to the ocean."I grew up around cats and i loved them a lot." she said simply and took another sip from her milk."Then why do you love the water so much?" Kuro asked noticing that she kept staring at the water."Because I dont like fire." Riza responded expressionlessly. She hated fires and didnt like being near them, it was alright if it was a camp fire or cooking fire since its managable. She just cant stand huge out of control fires. Cats outta the bag 3/5 Kuro stared off at the sea pushing his glasses up again making the glare hide his eyes."I see, youve been faced with quite the predicament." He said."What brings you back to my village anyway kitten?" Kuro asked and took his final chug and let out a loud sigh now holding an empty glass. Riza took another gulp of her milk and stared back at the ocean as the wind blew her hair around making her ears twitch."Theres another technique that I want you to teach me." Cats outta the bag 4/6 Kuro smirked."Are you even equiped for this attack?" he asked then heard the sound of blades moving making his eyes shift to her on alert. Riza was smirking with the caws on her hands. Kuro closed his eyes and gave a small chuckle facing the ocean again."I see, Kitten got herself a set of claws." He recalled that last time she was a clawless kitty. But now she was equiped and set for the next technique eager to learn it. Cats outta the bag 5/6 Kuro stood up and put a hand in his pocket while the empty bottle was in his other hand."Well then lets get started." He said. Riza finished off her milk and stood up following him back to the woods but a different section."Now im only going to show you this once, you need to use stealth walk so you are hard to see and attack with your claws like this." Kuro instructed then vanished. Suddenly scratches appeared on the trees and Kuro reappeared. Riza nodded and replayed the attack in her head then used stealth walk and started striking at the trees."Hm, your cuts could be cleaner and try to go a little faster i could still get that sence of you." Kuro said. Riza nodded then used stealth walk again and shashed at the tree barks then reappeared next to Kuro looking at the work she did. It wasnt too shabby actually. Kuro pushed his glasses up with his palm."I see a copy cat." he said using his play on words."Very well, youve passed." he meowed out. Cats outta the bag 6/6!

1/4
As Ariana continued to run she bumped into another guy startling herself. She fell back and looked up at him scrambling back.
"Oh sorry about that"
The man said extending a hand to help her up. He had glasses on and dressed fancy. Ariana took his hand and he helped her up to her feet. Ariana sighed feeling relieved but her heart was still pounding. She was still breathing heavily the guy took note of this and asked
"Whats the rush?"
Ariana paused for a moment too tired and out of breath.
"mermen..."
Was all she could utter at the moment and continued to pant.
2/4
"Ah those mermen are causing trouble again I see."
Kuro said noticing Ariana was bruised and bleeding.
"Follow me... I'll get you cleansed and then show you a few things that should keep you safe. Ariana followed Kuro to a park where there was a public pool stopping by a store to buy some things to clean her up. Once at the park he swiped blood from her face and cleaned her up. Kuro stood up and fixed his glasses then did a few funny sequence of steps appearing behind Ariana and sitting at a table.
3/4
Ariana looked around then stared at Kuro.
"Um joker illusion?"
She asked looking to him. Kuro smiled and replied
"No not even close. This move isnt an illusion at all, its all real. With a few fancy steps you'll become quicker than the eye can manage to keep track of. Ariana smiled then stood up looking to Kuro.
"Well how do I perform this?"
She asked ending with a bit of excitement in her voice probably her first time she had sound enthusiastic about something. The fruit was changing her personality a bit.
4/4
Kuro stood up and smiled taking each fancy step one at a time slowly for Ariana to see. It looked like some goofy dance a child would do when no one was looking or the exact opposite a dance they'd do to get people to look.
"Follow my steps carefully"
Ariana did as he said following his steps doing the little goofy dance. She poofed and everything seemed to move slow to her as she stepped everyone around lost track but she felt as if she were on drugs.
"And there you go. It may take some getting used to though"

Requirements: The user must know Stealth Walk and have a sharp weapon.
Post Length: 5 posts
1/5
Ariana kept practicing the foot steps and disappearing moving rapidly running all over the place moving stuff and exchanging it. One minute her a bottle was on a table next it was gone and her underwear was there then she switched it back. Suddenly she started moving slow again like a regular human. Kuro just laughed looking at Ariana having fun with the technique.
"What happened?"
She asked a bit confused as to why it stopped. She performed the foot movements again and took off in circles around Kuro playing around by messing with his glasses and tilting them so they rested on his fore head and ears llike they were sun glasses and he was at a beach.
2/5
"Well after a while this technique wears off and you'll become regular and visible to the naked eye again. There is a prolonged version of this that I wanted to teach you but I'd have to teach you Razor claws attack since my purpose is to teach you to defend yourself. Now listen, this attack is very powerful but if you are struck you'll become visible."
Ariana nodded runnign around he wouldnt be able to see it. Kuro stuck his arm out catching Ariana as she passed.
"Okay now watch carefully because I'm only doing this one very slowly might I add."
3/5
Kuro performed the foot steps and vanished moving rapidly around Ariana. He popped up in front of her then leaped into the air with his claws out ready to pounce on her. He slashed at the areas around her watching her flinch though she knew he wouldnt hurt her flinching was something she alwayss did for she believe even experts made mistakes and when they did it were horrid ones. Kuro landed lightly before Ariana and smiled to her.
4/5
"Thats how you do it and once you get good you can do something like this."
Kuro performed the steps and began to move fast unable to be tracked by Ariana. He slashed multiple trees and kept moving on using stealth walk for an extended time period seeming itd never end Ariana stared in awe. Kuro then came back and stopped before her smiling seeing her facial expression. Ariana knew she would have fun with this technique and she was definitely going to pay her shark friends a visit.
5/5
Ariana imagined herself slicing them up and having them falling off the plank before they walked it. Am evil smirk crossed Ariana's face and it was making Kuro nervous. He waved his hand in front of her face snapping his fingers. Ariana snapped out of the trance and stared at Kuro blankly
"Well give it a shot with your sword. Start slicing things up"
Ariana nodded once slightly then performed the foot steps for stealth walk then began to move rapidly pouncing at a tree slashing it with her katana smiling widely showing her swordsmanship and all her training results

Technique Name: Cat's Out of the Bag Attack
Description: The user uses Stealth Walk exactly three times without re-appearing. The user can then attack the opponents at will. If the user is hit during this attack the Stealth Walk's effect wears off.
Requirements: User must know Stealth Walk and Razor Claw Attack and have a sharp weapon.
Post Length: 6 posts
1/6
Kuro smiled adjusting his glasses by pushing them up to his face using his palms. He then performed the stealth walk steps once again and took over moving all over the place slashing as many trees as he could while repeating the stealth walk three times in a row. It seemed that was all he could manage and by the looks it also seemed like thats all he needed to finish off a large crew. Ariana didnt catch on to it but it was consecutive uses of the stealth walk. Simply because he was so fluent she figured he had done something different but no matter how hard she looked it was the same old steps
2/6
"how are you doing this and how many people can you kill with this? How fast can you kill that many people?"
Ariana was so caught up in this technique it was that one thing she had been seeking deep inside without knowing. Kuro stopped then looked at her smiling.
"I can kill many with this. Probably a few fleets with this."
Arian's mouth opened as she stared at him. Kuro just laughed and closed her mouth pushing her chin up.
"Well then how do you do that?"
Kuro smiled walking to her and doing the steps again
Ariana grew irritated watching she wasnt picking up on it at no matter how many times Kuro showed her she couldnt see the difference
3/6
Kuro finally stopped looking at Ariana staring dully and waiting for a reply. The reply he hadnt been getting for the past few minutes. Ariana looked back at him with a frown and pouting a bit crossing her arms and getting fed up
"I cant see the difference in the foot steps just tell me."
Ariana wined to him not so enthusiastic anymore and so annoyed she could feel her eyes burning from the tears she wanted to shed. Kuro sighed looking at her and noticing her eyes watering up thinking he better tell her before the water works began.
"Thats because I didn't change anything Ariana."
Kuro said looking to her, she still seemed ticked off and his answer didn't make it better
4/6
Ariana kept her arms crossed and had her angry stubborn face on showing she wasn't going to reply. Kuro sighed again letting his arms drop and his head bow showing a dramatic expression of how he felt.
"Anyway once you do stealth walk you can re-perform it before it wears out and keep slashing, but be quick about it and time it well. You should be able to tell if it is wearing off or not simply by how much slower you are becoming as you attack. Your opponent wont notice but you will and not doing anything about it and trying to force that last movement might mess you up.
5/6
Ariana looked at Kuro at the corner of her eyes then began to loosen up hearing answers she had been waiting for but the wait made her stressed and ticked her off. She took a deep breath looking at Kuro seeing he didnt like being ignored. She felt bad and somewhat threatened so she began to do the steps to not be a spoiled brat. He was only trying to help her the least she could do was try the technique. After doing the funny steps and dance she began to move extremely fast slashing trees one by one at a rapid pace unable to be tracked.
6/6
Kuro smiled looking at the trees ghaving ex marks on them from Ariana's little training. As Ariana felt herself gradually slowing down she performed the steps again doing the dance and started picking up speed again moving at a rapid rate. If she were to attack a fleet she felt she'd be able to take them all down as well like Kuro did. Ariana returned to Kuro and stopped before him instead of pouncing and slsashing him she pounced on him and they both landed on the ground. Kuro laughed as his glasses were crooked on his face and Ariana was on top of him perpendicular to his body.
"well you got it and I got to go."
Ariana smiled and got up then helped Kuro up.
"Okay, and thank you for everything I really love that technique."
Kuro smiled in reply then took off using stealth walk. Ariana did the same deciding not to go and attack the mermen

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao wandered around Syrup Village for quite some time, trying to find Kuro so he could learn his speed techniques. He had heard from the locals of Loguetown that Kuro had the fastest techniques in the world, aside from the CP9's Soru. Whoever they were. He needed to learn how to move at high speeds, so who better to train with than the man with the fastest techniques in the East Blue? "Now where could he be?" Hisao asked himself. He hummed to himself as he wandered down the street, thinking about all the new techniques he had learned.(Stealth Walk)
(1/4 posts) Hisao was pulled out of his reveries of training with Shanks, Johnny, Yosaku, and Tashigi, and becoming the greatest Swordsman alive, when he walked into a slim dark figure, and falling down onto his a**. He looked up and stared Kuro in the face. Hisao rolled backwards onto his feet and stood up, brushing the dirt of him. He smiled and looked at Kuro. Kuro just stared back, giving him the death glare. He then lifted up his glasses with his middle finger. I saw that! Hisao yelled mentally. But he just smiled, bowing and apologizing. "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." Hisao said, bowing again.(Stealth Walk)
(2/4 posts) Kuro just glared at Hisao, making a look that made it seem as if Kuro wanted him dead. "Do you just like standing there like an idiot, or do you need something?" He asked coldly. Hisao nodded and asked to be taught the Stealth Walk technique. Kuro was against it, but finally agreed, showing Hisao how to do it. The Stealth Walk technique was an odd technique, and one Hisao didn't fully understand. He had fallen several times, and it just didn't feel right when he did it. Hisao let out a sigh after performing the technique for the tenth time, still not being any better.(Stealth Walk)
(3/4 posts) Kuro was about to teach him the second technique when Hisao called a time out using his hands to create a T. His left hand vertical and his right on top, horizontal. Kuro let out a deep sigh, his shoulders dropping. "What is it now you poor excuse for a Pirate?" He growled. Hisao took a step back, offended. Hisao mumbled something under his breath that Kuro couldn't hear, still taking the comment as an offense. Maybe if you didn't yell at me so much I wouldn't have so many questions... He thought. Hisao looked up at Kuro and let out a sigh. "I just don't understand how you perform the Stealth Walk. Could you explain it please?" Hisao asked. Kuro glared at the Swordsman and lifted his glasses with his palm. He then went into great detail about how to perform the technique and Hisao finally got it. After successfully performing the technique, he left and headed towards Orange Town.(Stealth Walk: Complete!)

Noah had returned to the East Blue, far more experienced than he had left it. He had only been gone a short while he himself didn't know how long but in spirit he had been gone awhile. He was far more aware now, realizing that he was a target for Marine attempts he was being extra careful. He liked the East Blue it was a place booming with life and he remembered the eccentric people he had met here the first time. Suddenly a large man, who resembled a cat jumped in front of him.
1/5 Hard Muscles
Noah hadn't really been looking at where he was going he was too caught up in thought. This cat man was large and Noah bumped into him, fat and he had a stupid look on his face. When Noah didn't even acknowledge his existence by just walking by him this look of stupidity changed to rage. He didn't make a sound but he lurked behind Noah for a little while. Noah tried to pay no attention to the man simply thinking he was crazy, he didn't want to attract crazies. They tended to be easily angered like himself and it was inevitable that he would try and fight them.
2/5
Noah made a dash to get away from the guy, despite his large size he was fairly nimble keeping up with Noah and eventually slammed him into the ground. He wasn't abnormally strong or anything. Noah wasn't sure why he was so quick to attack and so he began to ask him, while still laying down from the attack, "Why the ******** did you hit me?" asked Noah. The catman didn't reply, he seemed as though he didn't understand the question like a retarded child who didn't know how to speak the language. Sort of like an animal really, just like a cat. He glared at Noah who couldn't help but laugh a bit.
3/5
Noah jumped onto his feet and cocked his hand back he then threw a punch as hard as he could to the man's chest. It was a perfect hit however Noah didn't get the reaction he expected instead the catman's body sort of just shrugged it off. He didn't understand how the man could be so resistant to Noah's attempt. His punches were hard, as hard and as painful as anyone's. He touched the catman's chest to see if he had really withstood the blow; it was hard as a rock, as though his muscles weren't human. "What the..." said Noah silently.
4/5
The catman snickered, "Hard Muscles, I can contract them so that there is less room for damage. Pretty much anyone can do it, if they know how." Noah tried to punch him again this time weakening his defenses, the catman cringed. "Hehehehe, not bad!" he shouted. He was a bit of a weirdo but Noah realized he was smarter and more dangerous than he seemed. He tried to retaliate by punching Noah who tried to do what the catman had boasted about but was unsuccessful, it was too difficult to contract muscles. On his second attempt he was able to do so and stopped a strike from the man, it appeared as though even in his contracted state he wouldn't be able to stop a bullet or anything special like that.
5/5

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao "Bushido" Miyamoto arrived in Syrup Village for the second time in his life. It had been about a week since he had been here. Last time, it was to learn Stealth Walk from Kuro. That was an experience he wished not to remember, ever again. Just the thought of Captain Kuro's training sent a chill down his spine and made his blood boil at the same time. If he never saw that man in his life again, it would be far too soon. Hisao was in the town now just to relax. It was a small town with not a lot happening. He had been training his a** off the last month, and he just needed some time to finally relax. So that was exactly what Hisao had planned.(Hard Muscles)
(1/5 posts) Of course, your plans never work out the way you want them to, ever. And Hisao's "vacation" to Syrup Village wouldn't be any exception. Hisao had docked his pathetic excuse for a ship at the local docks there, and slowly made his way up the long dirt ramp that lead from the docks to the Village. "Why the hell would they make something like this?! This is just ridiculous!" Hisao yelled as he spent ten minutes climbing up the ramp. The Swordsman's hand reached over the ramp as he dragged himself over the ramp, crawling on all fours. This was way too much effort for something like this. But finally, Hisao finally made it up the ramp.(Hard Muscles)
(2/5 posts) The young Swordsman laid sprawled on his back at the top of the ramp that lead to Syrup Village, his arms and legs thrown out around him as his chest quickly rose and fell with each breath. Why would they build such a thing? Hisao caught his breath after laying on his back for a few minutes and slowly opened his eyes. There, right in front of him, were two large eyes staring back at him. It took his brain a moment to register what he was seeing. Hisao had this problem a lot whenever something rather sudden happened to him. This time was the same thing. His brain took a second to catch up to what was happening.(Hard Muscles)
(3/5 posts) Above the supine Swordsman was a pair of large eyes. The skin around the eyes was pale, with a black spot around the left eye. A cow...? Hisao asked himself, wondering what this thing was above him. The head holding the eyes was rather round and plump, with a wide mouth that had two sharp teeth. A vampire... cow...? The Swordsman wondered, really confused now. The man that resembled a vampire cow moved away from Hisao, allowing him to get up. Hisao did, and quickly began to walk away. The man silently followed the Swordsman, still not saying a single word yet. Hisao began to quicken his pace.(Hard Muscles)
(4/5 posts) Hisao continued his quickened pace, trying to out walk the fat cat-like man that was following him. He would look back over his shoulder every other step, the fat man closer with every glance. Suddenly, Hisao broke out into a full run and darted around a corner. As soon as he broke eye contact with the man, Hisao turned around and threw a punch at where he had just been. The punch connected with the man that was chasing him, but nothing happened. Hisao pulled his hand back and yelled in pain. The man's muscles were like stone. After recovering, the man introduced himself and apologized for following him. With everything cleared up, the man known as Buchi taught the Swordsman the technique he had just used to stop the punch.(Hard Muscles: Complete!)

This was to be Naoki's first time outside of the West Blue, in all his years he had never ventured outside of those waters. It was a terrible thing to think of a Navigator only ever exploring one water, but it was true. Thus, to be Naoki's first trip to an East Blue Village, he decided to choose Syrup Village, from the tales that Naoki had heard this was the village where Ussop, sharpshooter to the Strawhats had been born and lived most of his life. Now, Naoki too was walking these paths; on his hands were the claws that he had just bought from the weaponry, he had picked out the more pastel coloured pair to match his clothing. However, this attracted the wrong attention.
1/4 - Stealth Walk
Naoki heard a rustling in the bushes, causing him to tighten his guard; his arms were closed tighter in, his claws guarding his torso. "Awful. Awful use of the claws" a voice said, as it pounced from the bushes, a flash of black. Naoki clashed claws with the man, he was sick of being pounced upon with this being the third time in which he was caught off guard. This man also had a pair of claws on, these were of a brown colour, it took Naoki a few moments to register who this man was, the master of the Stealth Walk; Captain Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates. Naoki had read about this man in one of his many books back on Clockwork Island. "I'm pretty sure you lost to a man with your current style, I doubt you're using them correctly" Naoki said, a smile on his face.
2/4
Kuro's face was red with fury. He pushed Naoki backwards with some force behind it, which caused Naoki much happiness. "Did I touch a nerve Kuro?" Naoki asked, getting back into an offensive stance. Kuro scowled, he didn't reply and just sprang once again for Naoki, who thought he was ready for it, only to be mistaken as he saw Kuro disappear, Naoki thought he had seen this technique before, thinking it was the Joker Illusion technique he had learned from Pin Joker, but he was wrong. Luckily Naoki hopped back a step as Kuro swung his claws for him, just cutting at the threads of Naoki's jumper. Maybe he had hit a nerve.
3/4
"Well, well then. You nearly got me there didn't 'cha?" Naoki said, laughing, then he pushed back on his feet and then sprang forward, copying Kuro's movements, disappearing and then reappearing behind him. "But that won't happen again" Naoki said, a claw stationed under Kuro's chin. A look of shock and horror drawn across Kuro's face, once again someone had achieved his techniques speed. But he didn't let this development stop him, he smiled and pushed up his glasses with the palm of his hand "Is that so?" he said, disappearing once again he suprised Naoki with an aerial attack.
4/4

Naoki was shocked to see Kuro disappear right from under his nose. "This isn't possible" he said, hearing Kuro from above he spun around, it being just in time and thus causing another clash of claws, the sound of steel ringing throughout the village. Naoki was relieved to be able to defend it, this was his first time actually fighting, he didn't count his encounter against Pin Joker as a real fight, his encounter with Needles was also more of a frenzied escape. But this was truly a fight for his life, he wouldn't run away scared this time. He was a man, a pirate, he flew the Jolly Roger and stood by its teachings, he wasn't going to run.
1/5
As the pairs of claws all clashed together, Kuro started to make odd movements to try and out smart Naoki, creating an open in which he could get a good attack in on the relatively new fighter, Naoki didn't tell Kuro this as that would have been suicide, causing him to move up a gear due to the ease that he could probably defeat Naoki with if he did so. It was during this clashes that Naoki started to realise the main thing in which he lacked, that of a real martial art style. He pushed Kuro backwards and swung his arms low. His breathing was starting to get heavy, he needed to finish this quickly.
2/5
"You are looking tired boy, you sure you can continue? Because you said I wouldn't be able to attack you anymore. You are doing a good job of keeping that upheld!" Kuro said, a sneer wiped across his face. "Oh, this is just the beginning Kuro. Just you wait!" Naoki said, pointing a claw at the Black Cat's Captain. "Then come, attack me!" Kuro shouted, breaking into another run towards Naoki who as he got closer, jumped up into the air and kicked Kuro in the back of the head with his heel. He landed at an odd angle, but he soon spun around to face Kuro, hoping he hadn't seen the poor excuse of a landing.
3/5
Kuro hadn't seen the terrible landing due to his head facing the ground, Naoki had pushed Kuro to the floor. He took this himself as an achievement that he thought was amazing, but no doubt there would be more amazing times to come. When Kuro stood up to face Naoki, it was easy to see that he too was on his last legs, his once finely combed hair was now falling across his crazed eyes, aswell as one of his lenses being cracked. Naoki smiled and ran forward twards Kuro, he would attempt to finish this as soon as possible.
4/5
Naoki wasn't going to let Kuro recover from the kick to the head, if he did it may give Kuro the chance and energy to finish Naoki off. The technique that Naoki had decided on using to defeat Kuro was the technique that Kuro had used on Naoki shortly after his completion of the Stealth Walk. Naoki quickened his pace and then disappeared using Stealth Walk, he reappeared above Kuro, his arms crossed with his claws flaying out from his shoulders. As he fell back down to the ground he unfolded his crouching position and cut Kuro down with his claws, he made sure not to kill him, just knock him out, Naoki was not a killer.
5/5 - Complete.

Naoki watched Kuro fall down to the ground, blood seeping through his shirt. This bothered Naoki somewhat, he took off his claws and stuffed them into his bag, then ran over to Kuro, picking him up off the floor slightly, supporting him by the back. He was knocked out, it was that simple. Naoki looked around and saw no villagers around, besides...why would they assist someone who had defeated Kuro with such brutality? He was about to give up when he saw a rather rounded individual walking towards them. Naoki was about to call out for him, but it soon seemed apparent he was aiming for them, for Naoki in particular, an angry expression pasted across his face.
1/5 - Hard Muscles
This man was named Buchi, he was one of Kuro's subordinates which meant that he was no means happy by the defeat of his Captain. He immediatly swung a left towards Naoki who moved out of the way, taken aback by this sudden attack, the fourth time he had been attacked like this it seemed. "You have harmed the Captain!" Buchi said, swinging again and this time hitting Naoki in the stomach, causing him to cough and splutter, the wind had been blown straight out of him by this fists of rocks. Naoki wouldn't stand for this and swung for a right, it connected with Buchi's chest, but it appeared to injure Naoki more. This man must have eaten some Devil Fruit to have such a rock-like physique.
2/5
Naoki felt an immense surge of pain fly through his hand, he looked at Buchi with a confused look on his face. It didn't look like he even noticed Naoki attacked him. "What are you?" Naoki asked, shaking his hand violently to get the feeling back into it. Buchi blinked and pointed at himself. "I am Buchi" he said, a simple tone in his voice, it appeared that he meant Naoki any real harm, but was merely defending his Captain. Naoki blinked, then pointed at himself "I am Naoki" he said, copying the simple tone of voice Buchi spoke with.
3/5
Buchi blinked again, there was a sense of awkwardness around the whole situation, it was easily acceptable but Naoki felt as though he should have done something. He stuttered slightly and soon explained the reasons for why the event had conspired. "Erm...I'm sorry about your Captain Buchi. He appeared from out of nowhere, I had to defend myself. I'm sorry" Naoki said, bowing to Buchi who returned the bow with a smile and a thumbs up. Naoki sighed, he was glad to hear that there were to be no hard feelings between the both of them, there was more to this Buchi character then first met the eye.
4/5
Buchi knelt down to pick his Captain up, it was obvious to anyone with any common sense, that Buchi was a loyal nakama to Kuro; he may not appreciate Buchi, but Buchi was a loyal man. He turned around to walk away, taking Kuro back to base. Naoki nearly let him go when he suddenly remembered that he needed to ask Buchi about the technique that he uses. Buchi revealed that it was to be no Devil Fruit, but a technique in which you harden the muslces. Naoki was amazed, it seemed such a simple technique to master, and he did in no time at all. Once finished, Naoki bade fareweel to Buchi and left for some more islands in the East Blue.
5/5 - Complete
