Pirate Zoro vs. Soldier Braham

In a dense jungle, the wind rustles through the tall grass. Zoro stands with his back to the viewer, holding two of his swords, facing the masked Shandia warrior, Braham. Braham stands at a distance, holding his pistols ready. The tension between them is palpable as they prepare to fight amidst the giant trees and thick vegetation.

Braham opens fire, shooting his pistols rapidly. Zoro quickly dodges the bullets, the impacts kicking up dirt around him. Braham then leaps high into the air, using the skates on his boots to propel himself. Zoro looks up, his expression serious, as Braham maneuvers above him. Braham continues to shoot from his elevated position, forcing Zoro to stay on the move.

Zoro looks up in surprise, thinking, "How did he manage to jump without preparation!?" Braham fires a barrage of bullets from mid-air, shouting "Ungh!!!" Zoro dodges the incoming fire, explosions erupting where the bullets hit the ground. Zoro realizes, "Usopp said they have many types of wavers. That roller-blade thing is probably equipped with one of those... It uses sharp wind to float..." Zoro loses sight of Braham in the thick jungle and thinks, "Where did he go? There is that damn gun that shoots flashing lights!! Now I can't even grasp his position...!!!"

Suddenly, Braham appears above Zoro, firing his guns. Zoro reacts quickly, "Wha...!!" and dodges the shots. Braham lands and continues his assault. Zoro draws his third sword, placing it in his mouth. Braham notices and says, "Three katanas...?" Zoro gets into a stance, preparing an attack, and mutters, "Tiger..."

Zoro unleashes his attack, shouting "...Hunt!!!" He dashes forward with incredible speed, slashing at Braham. Braham barely manages to dodge, exclaiming "Guo!!!" as the attack slices through the ground and vegetation where he just stood. Zoro lands and immediately turns back towards Braham, declaring, "You won't escape!!"

Braham lands on a massive tree root, grunting "Nnnh!!!" He looks down at Zoro and taunts him, "As if a crappy swordsman of the blue sea... could possibly match me! Who doesn't have any wavers or dials..." Braham holds out his hand, revealing a small Dial. "Do you know what this little thing is!!?" he asks. He activates it, saying "'Milky Dial!'" Zoro looks on in confusion, "Huh!!? Oh!!?"

Braham uses the Milky Dial to create a trail of clouds in mid-air, skating along it with his waver skates. He shoots at Zoro from the cloud path, saying, "Randomly hopping around is not what we call sky combat, you know." Suddenly, a giant sky eel bursts out of the clouds, its massive jaws wide open, heading straight for Zoro. Zoro yells "Ghaa..." in surprise but quickly reacts, slicing the giant eel cleanly in half with his swords. As the two halves of the eel fall away, Zoro remarks, "An eel...!!? If I barbecue this baby... it might be worth eating..."

Braham takes advantage of the distraction and shoots Zoro in the leg. Zoro cries out, "Wah!!" and falls to the ground, clutching his bleeding leg. He pants heavily, "Haa... Haa... So dumb!!! He got my leg...! As if it wasn't hard enough already!" Braham aims his gun at Zoro again. Zoro thinks to himself, "I gotta get rid of that flash gun first!...Maybe I can..."

Braham points to his masked face and says, "How unfortunate! Look at my goggles!" Zoro confidently replies, "It's over! Your flash gun is... powerless against me now! You should holster it!" Braham retorts, "They don't look like sunglasses to me..." Realizing his mistake, Zoro pulls his clear goggles over his eyes and yells, "Damn it!!!" Braham continues, "You seem to dislike my flash gun! That's normal. It prevents you from catching the perfect time to cut. You don't stand a chance. Your leg must hurt. But don't worry, I'm gonna finish you now." Zoro smirks and replies, "Don't worry about me! It's just a scratch. I got shot when I was admiring a damn eel. I need more training—"

Braham opens fire again, the sound of his guns echoing, "Bang! Bang!" Zoro desperately dodges the barrage of bullets, grunting "Hnng!!" as he scrambles through the tall grass. Braham watches him and mocks, "...Trying to run away!?" Zoro continues to run, yelling "Waah!!!" as bullets tear through the vegetation around him.

As Zoro runs, Braham speaks philosophically, "Sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, thought... The 6 senses are sometimes good, evil or neutral! Each of them can then be pure or tainted...!! They make up the thirty-six passions of life." Zoro stops running and stands still, listening. Braham aims his guns and says, "As of now, you may have a pistol... But it's a cannon I'm aiming at you! In both range and power, my weapon is superior. You've done well, but... you're a dead man!" Braham fires his guns.

Zoro turns to face Braham, his expression fierce. "A cannon? Have I knocked you insane? Where is it?" he asks. Zoro glares intensely through his goggles and says, "I'm gonna show you. Open your eyes wide..." He gets into a stance, holding a single sword horizontally in front of him. "Joke all you want!! One Sword Style... 'Thirty-Six'..." Braham continues to shoot, the bullets flying towards Zoro.

Zoro swings his sword with immense force, shouting "...Pound Cannon!!!" The swing generates a powerful, spiraling projectile of compressed air that shoots towards Braham. The attack hits Braham head-on, shattering his pistols and sending him flying backward with a massive impact. Braham is completely overwhelmed by the sheer force of the flying slash.

Braham lies defeated on the ground, groaning "Urgh..." Zoro stands victorious, sheathing his sword. He looks at the fallen warrior and says, "No hard feelings. It has nothing to do with you. But you wanted to eliminate me... And I'm not the kind of guy who is gonna wait till that happens! I'm quite expecting to leave this jungle alive!!!"

Elsewhere in the jungle, Chopper is wandering alone, crying. "Luffy, Zoro, Robin... Will I ever see them again? I dod't even dow whad direction I'm going adymore... *sob*" He walks past a tall, imposing figure with a strange hairstyle and wings—Gedatsu. Gedatsu looks down at him and mutters, "A raccoon...?" Chopper suddenly notices some ancient structures and cheers up, "The ruins!? Already!!? Ah? Wow! Maybe everyone is already here!" As Chopper happily walks away, he starts to worry again, thinking, "...Or am I doomed to die here alone in the middle of nowhere? Oh, wait... isn't this heaven? Will I go to heaven if I die?" Gedatsu just stands there, watching the reindeer walk away.

On the Going Merry, Nami screams in horror, "Sanji!! Gyaaah-!!! Gyaah-!!!" A heavily charred and smoking Sanji falls onto the deck. Nami rushes to him, crying, "Sanji!!! Nooo!!!" She presses her ear to his chest and panics, "...!!! Hey!! I don't hear any heartbeat!!!" Gan Fall looks on in shock, yelling, "Sanji! Ah-!!! Sanji! Hang in there!!! Oh, no!!" Nearby, Usopp is also lying on the deck, similarly charred and unconscious. A bird cries "Pieee!!!" and someone stammers "C... Can't be...". Then, a sinister voice laughs, "Yaha hahaha haha!!" Gan Fall glares angrily towards the source of the laughter.

Enel is sitting casually on the railing of the ship, looking down at them. He smirks and says, "Hahaha— What an idiot. Attacking me wasn't a good idea... Assuming I'm not yet here to kill you." Gan Fall, furious, demands, "Then why are you here!!?" Enel smiles widely, his eyes half-closed in a mocking expression. "Hah— Such a cold greeting! Especially since we haven't seen each other for 6 years, former God... Gan Fall." Nami kneels on the deck, holding the unconscious Sanji, while Usopp lies nearby.
