Chapter 33: Vivi vs Shura part 2
'Maybe I didn't think this thought.' Thought Vivi as she barely dodged the flaming spear.
Even without his bird, Shura was still a very strong individual who could give someone like Zoro or Sanji quite a bit of trouble.
After avoiding another attack, she decided to try something.
'Well, this worked against Bellamy.'
She turned her left arm into a stream of water and pushed it to Shura. He tried to move aside but she can change its direction. The stream of water separated from her body and turned into something more similar to a slime-like substance.
"What is this?!" Shura was surprised by her new move but didn't have time to say more as the slime made its way toward his face.
"Got you!" Cried Vivi as the water globe covered his head completely.
"What? it looks alive!" Chopper was also surprised since she has never shown them this move.
Shura started to suffocate and like Bellamy, He tried to remove the substance with his hands to no avail. But then He did something that Vivi didn't expect. He took his spear, activate the flame dial inside, and press it against the water.
A loud hissing sound erupted from the contact and Vivi felt a strong rush of pain, like her body, was being boiled.
"AHHHH!" She lost her concentration and the water globe on Shura's face was released.
"Vivi!" Chopper rushed to her side.
Shura started to cough but He never took his eyes off her. He then chuckled.
"I thought fire was useless against you. It seems like weren't being very sincere."
Vivi regrew her arm and stood up again.
"Let me help you! Well, fight him together." Said Chopper.
Vivi nodded. She hated to admit it, but she was still no rival for someone like Shura.
"If you can hold him for a moment. I'll take him out with the impact dial."
Chopper rushed forward to get hold of Shura while Vivi tried to flank him.
"Ok, let's try this." Vivi turned her legs into water and propelled herself at great speed to Shura's side. This was a technique she stole from Crocodile.
'This needs more practice, I barely have any control when I'm moving, but it should be enough for now
"Cloud strings!" Shura called and more invisible strings were formed. He already knew that they were useless against Vivi, but it was enough to stop Chopper.
"Ohh no!. I can't move." Chopper panicked.
"I'll take you out firsts!" Shura pointed his spear at Chopper's face and started to bring it close.
"Noo" Vivi moved to Shura's side and attacked him with her right hand but Shura immediately stopped his motion and turned to counter Vivi's attack.
'Oh no! that was a feint.'
Shura just pretended that He was going to Kill Chopper to force Vivi to move and then counter her attack.
Shuras spear changed directions from Chopper to its real target. Vivi's right hand, the one that had the impact dial on it.
"Aggg!!" Her hand burned and she has forced to change its shape and bring it away from Shura, making her drop the dial on the ground.
As she took a step back, Shura kicked the dial away from Vivi.
"No more dials for you." He smiled confidently.
'Okay, what now?.' She looked at her fists.
'I only have these now…but they won't be enough…I can't win.'
"Let's end this first!" Vivi watched in horror as Shura pierced Chopper's chest with his spear.
Vivi saw for a moment a flash image of Luffy being impaled by Crocodile. When she heard Chopper scream snapped something in her mind.
Shura pulled his spear back but seeing that his target was still alive, He was prepared to finish the job. He did not even see Vivi move, but the next instant, there was a fist on his face.
He grunted as He was pushed back and turned toward his attacker.
Vivi didn't make a sound as she launched another attack. She extended her arm by turning into a stream of water while keeping her fist intact in order to have something hard to hit with.
Shura was ready this time and blocked the incoming fist with his spear by turning it sideways. He could hear the sound of bones cracking and breaking as they made contact with metal….but Vivi did not even flinch.
She attacked again the same way but Shura noticed that this time it was faster and stronger than before. He managed to block it again, and once more He was sure that He had broken some of her bones…but she did not stop.
He looked at Vivi's face. Her eyes were opened but her expression was completely blank.
"This is ridiculous, I'm sure her hands are broken!, what the hell happened to her? She seems to be in some kind of trance."
Another fist came in and Shura had barely managed to block it this time.
"She is getting faster!"
Vivi's attacks keep coming. She was attacking with both of her arms, launching her broken fists one after the other while getting stronger and faster.
The strength of an elemental logia attack is independent of the physical strength of the person. It all depends on the level of expertise and experience of the user.
Vivi had been unconsciously holding back for fear of getting hurt, it is a natural instinct of preservation that all humans have. But in her current state, she can feel nothing. The only thing on her mind is to kill her enemy and do it most efficiently, no matter the cost.
Shura's idea was to block her attacks until she got tired and then rush at her for the killing blow, but her attacks didn't stop and they were getting stronger.
"I need to do something."
He turned his spear to point at Vivi and when the next attack came in, He pierced her fist with his fire spear. The hand made a sizzling noise as it lost its shape and turned to vapor.
This did nothing to deter Vivi. Her next blow came so fast that Shura had no time to block and was hit in the stomach.
He was sent flying backward and landed next to the wooden rail of the ship.
He stood back up with a small trail of blood coming from his mouth.
"What the hell are you!"
Vivi said nothing, She brought both of her arms back. Her eyes shone brightly for a moment. As she moved them forward, her arms turned into two vortexes of raging waters that served as propulsion for her fists.
Shura had only time to bring his spear up to his chest in an attempt to block.
As Vivi's fist collided with the spear, Shura heard a loud crack, but He soon realized in horror that thing that broke was his spear. The handle had snapped, severing the spear in two.
When Shura looked up, He saw that Vivi was already preparing another attack like the previous one but this one seemed even more powerful.
Her eyes shone brighter with a golden light as the torrent of water that was once her arms moved around in a spiraling motion.
Shura's battle instincts forged over many years of battles were telling him that his end was near.
Vivi's attack impacted Shura's chest making him spit a mouthful of blood. The rails behind him broke as He was pushed backward.
As Shura was falling into the water with his body broken, knowing that He would never come back up again, He uttered his last words.
"I was wrong…you are a..."
