Zoro vs Kaku

Explosions rip through the air as a long-haired man is hurled backward amid flying debris and impact lines. "SIZZLE...!!" A series of smaller panels show the same man speaking: "AND THE DEVIL CREATES THE SEA-SONING..." "...GOD CREATES FOOD" "HAA..." "...HAA..." In a wide shot he lies amid smoke and rubble on a stone floor, declaring "I THINK I MIGHT HAVE..." "SPICED HIM UP A LITTLE TOO MUCH." while small "TAP..." sounds mark footsteps approaching.

From below, the long-haired man looks up at a collapsing tower as figures tumble through the air. "DOKAAAN!!" "HAA..." "HAA..." "...!!" He wonders aloud, "ARE THEY TRYING TO DESTROY THIS TOWERI" while another voice asks, "THE GIRAFFE AND MARIMO..." In close-up he examines a ornate key, saying "I, TOO, SHOULD DELIVER THIS 'NO.1 KEY'" and "QUICKLY..." A second man in a dark suit stands before a wall labeled "GATES OF JUSTICE" and "SHORTCUT", noting "I GUESS NAMI-SAN AND THE OTHERS HAVE ALREADY GONE TO WHERE ROBIN-CHAN IS."

A masked man with wild hair grips a dark-haired woman by the head on a high bridge, shouting "WE'RE HERE...!! WE'RE ON TOP OF THE 'BRIDGE OF HESITATION'...!!!" "LOOK, NICO ROBIN." She winces, "OUCH!!" He continues dramatically, "I WILL BE THE GOVERNMENT'S... I MEAN, I WILL BE THE 'WORLD'S HERO'!!!" as the massive "GATES OF JUSTICE" open in the distance. "IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY... BUT ONCE WE PASS THROUGH THE GATES, THE BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATES IS RISING NOW" while he waits "FOR THE STEPS OF THE HERO!!!"

The Straw Hats and allies charge across the massive bridge toward Enies Lobby's towering fortress. "WE'RE CROSSING IT, NICO ROBIN...!!!!" someone yells as the group races forward. "NOW!! LET'S GO!!" Explosions rock the structure while Franky shouts "HRM!I I SEE SOMETHING!!" and "EVERYTHING'S MEANINGLESS IF I DON'T MAKE IT!!" Warships receive orders: "ALL WARSHIPS, CONFIRM YOUR POSITIONS!!!" A massive blast erupts near the entrance. "WHOA!!" cries a figure as debris flies. A close-up shows a determined face asking, "IS THIS THE EXIT!!I"

Luffy clashes violently with a leopard-like fighter. "STRAW-HAT!!!" the enemy roars as Luffy is struck, yelling "UGAH!!!" Franky intervenes, shouting "QUIT HATING ME ALREADY!!! I'M YOUR FRIEND NOW. GIVE IT UP!!" Luffy retorts, "WHAT DID YOU COME HERE FOR, BASTARD!I" and calls out "FRANKY!!!" Elsewhere, Franky demands, "WHERE IS NICO ROBIN!!I I BROUGHT TWO KEYS!!" while facing Lucci, who asks, "ARE YOU HAVING A HARD TIME FIGHTING HIMI" Lucci stands before a door labeled "WORI" and "BOVT" as Franky prepares to fight.

Luffy, breathing heavily, refuses help: "NO...!!! RATHER, PLEASE GO STOP ROBIN!!" Lucci offers, "DO YOU NEED A HAND OR TWOI" Franky points out the door behind the pigeon guy, yelling that Robin was already taken through it. Lucci smirks as Franky declares "SUPER~. LEAVE EVERYTHING TO ME, FOOL!!" and "I'LL TRY TO KEEP HIM BUSY WHILE YOU GO FOR THE DOOR!!!" Luffy turns toward the exit with renewed determination.

Kaku in full giraffe form crashes through the battlefield. "I TOLD YOU..." he says as he attacks. A fighter retorts, "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT, YOU HERBIVOROUS ANIMAL...!!!" while declaring "THAT I PREFER MEAT!!!" The giraffe-man is sent flying amid massive destruction. Below, an ally strains to reach a key, thinking "I'D BE A LOSER IF I DON'T MAKE IT IN TIME!!!" and "EITHER WAY, I NEED TO GET THE KEY QUICKLY!!!" while Kaku's form looms nearby with heavy breathing sounds.

Zoro leaps through the air gripping both swords, declaring "NITOU-RYUU"... as he swings with a powerful double slash labeled "NIGIRI"!!! The impact sends him climbing higher up the tower. Below, Kaku's massive giraffe-hybrid form charges upward. Zoro counters with another strike, shouting "TOU-ROU"!!! Kaku's close-up face smirks as he taunts, "DO YOU GET STRONGER OR SOMETHING IF YOU WEAR THAT WASHCLOTHI" Zoro replies simply, "MAYBE."

Kaku's enormous transformed body lunges with a crushing blow, yelling "OUTOU-ROU"!!! Zoro flashes past with "HIRA-MEKI"!!! The two clash violently in mid-air, blades and limbs colliding in a burst of impact lines. Kaku's giraffe legs slam down creating a sand crest as he roars "SAMON"!!! Zoro is hurled backward by the force.

Kaku's scythe-like giraffe leg swings down with "KAMA-KIRIN"!!! Zoro grunts "UGH!!!" as he is struck. Kaku stands in full hybrid form and activates "MUSHI-KAKU" and "TEKAI", his body hardening. Zoro is sent flying into rubble with a massive crash labeled "UWAAH!!!" and impact sounds. Kaku's smaller panels show him shifting stance while the ground cracks.

Kaku's face twists in anger as he shouts "SHUT UP!!! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!!!" and declares "WITH THIS SQUARE STANCE, I HAVE NO BLIND SPOT." Zoro glares back, asking "THAT A GIRAFFE HAS FOUR 'LEGS'I DID YOU NOTICE..." Kaku snaps "MY ATTACK HAS ALREADY BEGUN!" and demands "ARE YOU GONNA FIGHT OR NOT!!!" while using "RAN-KYAKU." Zoro stares in surprise, reacting "HUH!I" as Kaku continues his assault.

Zoro glares upward as rain pours down. "AND RAIN ON YOU...!!!" he growls. "WILL BE REFLECTED DOWN BY THE CEILING," another voice continues. "THOSE SLASHING ATTACKS I SENT ABOVE..." The ceiling shatters under the barrage. In the next instant Zoro leaps high, blades flashing. "KIRI-SHIGURE!!!" he roars as countless slashes tear through the air. "UWAH!!!" Kaku cries out, struck by the storm of cuts. "ZBBBR...!!" The giraffe-man crashes down amid debris. "IT'S A DOWNPOUR OF SLASHING ATTACKS!!" someone shouts. "THERE ARE TOO MANY TO TAKE!!!" Kaku blocks desperately with "TEKKAi" as impacts rattle his body. "BOH!!"

Zoro's intense stare fills a close-up panel. Below, Kaku's massive giraffe form looms as the swordsman is hurled through the air. "HAA... DRIP... DRIP... HAA...!!!" Kaku pants heavily. In a sudden counter, Kaku fires his nose-gun. "BIGAN!!!" The powerful blast erupts with "KACHINCH!!" and "!!!" Zoro is sent flying backward amid shattering debris and impact lines.

Explosions rock the battlefield. "OAAAH!!!" Zoro yells as he is blasted away. "UGH... GAH!!" he grunts on impact. Kaku stands transformed in full giraffe form atop a rocky outcrop, laughing "FUFUFU..." while smoke rises. "I'VE TRAINED MYSELF TO BE SO, 'KIRINGER.*'" Kaku declares. "HMPH!!!" Zoro replies, breathing hard. "YOU'RE A TOUGH MAN...!!! YOU AMAZE ME," Kaku continues. "HAA... HAA..." Zoro catches his breath. "BASTARD...!!!" he snarls.

Kaku looms over the fallen Zoro, mocking him. "KIRINGER-JAA-GER-JAA... NO, NO, I'M NOT 'KIRINGER'-JAA... KIRINGER. I'M A KIRINJA! KIRINGERI" he rambles. Zoro glares back furiously. "I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY IF YOU MAKE FUN OF ME...!!!" he shouts. "HMPH!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU ARE!!! SHUT UP!" Zoro snaps. He draws his swords. "SHISHI"... "ITTOU-RYUU"... "ITTOU-RYUU"... The blades flash. "FIRST... LET ME BREAK YOUR 'TEKKAi' THING..." Zoro declares. Kaku counters with "RANKYAKU".

Kaku in full giraffe Zoan form launches a devastating spinning kick from above as Zoro counters with a powerful upward slash. Massive impact erupts with the sound effects "ROUDAN" and "SONSON" as debris and shockwaves fill the air. The narration labels the technique "DRAGON SLASH". In the aftermath, Zoro stands with swords drawn while Kaku looms over him. Zoro mutters "FU--!!" Kaku remarks, "MAKES SENSE... YOU ARE ONE TOUGH CUSTOMER." Kaku continues, "IT'S FOR ME TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD TAKE YOUR ATTACK WITH 'TEKKAI.'" Zoro replies with a quiet "..." Kaku asks, "DID IT FEEL LIKE CUTTING STEELI"

Kaku unleashes rapid strikes labeled "NI GORIRA" and "ICHI GORIRA". Zoro blocks and counters with "SANTOU-RYUU..." as the clash intensifies. Kaku then delivers a massive spinning slash called "NIGORI-ZAKE" while Zoro responds with "BIGAN", creating an enormous explosion of force and debris that shakes the battlefield.

The powerful exchange continues with heavy impacts and shockwaves. Kaku is sent flying back, exclaiming "NGH!!!" and "...!!I" while questioning the technique. In the next moment both fighters catch their breath. Kaku says, "I IMAGINED THAT YOU'D FALL, HUH...I AFTER ALL THOSE CHEEKY COMMENTS... YOU HAD NEVER..." Zoro retorts, "SAME GOES FOR YOU!!!" Kaku shouts back, "HOW ARROGANT!!!"
