Yami appeared over Strawberry and his eyes glowed red as he slashed down on him. Strawberry kicked under him and blasted up over the slash, kicking at Yami's head. Yami blocked with his hand and slashed down on Strawberry's leg.

Strawberry's leg turned back and Yami was blasted away.

He flipped in the air and saw Strawberry above him, kicking out at the air and sending a black air slash at him. Yami was stunned and slashed out, sending a purple air slash at the black one before flipping and using Reiryoku on his feet and hand, sheathing Crimson as he slid on the air, leaving a trail of glowing purple flames from his hand and feet.

Strawberry hummed and looked at Yami, mumbling "What technique is this..." Yami was silent and looked at Strawberry, who added "No matter, I'll just capture you alive. Vegapunk can get your secrets from you..." he crossed his swords in front of him in a '+' shape before turning them black and slashing out, saying "Justice Cross."

A cross shaped slash flew at Yami, who rolled to the side and pushed off, charging at Strawberry. He lunged forward and growled "Enma's Rage." as he spun and slashed out. The purple haze covered him and he smashed into Strawberry, who blocked with crossed swords and was sent sliding back in the air.

Yami spun out of Enma's Rage and slashed upwards, breaking Strawberry's block. He took Crimson back and thrusted forward at Strawberry's head. Strawberry tilted his head out of the way and Yami cut him across his cheek.

Strawberry stomped on Yami's chest and kicked him away, saying "That's dangerous... Your bounty is completely wrong. It should be over half a billion..." Yami flipped in the air and narrowed his eyes. Strawberry touched the cut on his cheek and said "Seems like I need to get serious."

Yami spoke "You talk a lot." Strawberry replied "Not usually." as he covered his swords and legs in black before blurring, Yami muttered "Shunpo?" as he spun around and slashed out against Strawberry's double sword slash down.

Yami's eyes widened and he barreled to the down, crashing into the Court Building, kicking up a cloud of dust. Strawberry muttered "Observation haki? In Paradise?" Yami shot out of the smoke and slashed out in a pentagram before stabbing through the middle.

Strawberry blocked with his swords crossed and slashed out. Yami ducked from the crossing swords, before spinning in the air and slashing Strawberry's swords to the side, shooting his leg out and kicking Strawberry in the chin, sending him flying into the Tower of Justice.

Yami straightened out and held his sword over his head, letting out purple smoke.

The Tower of Justice was slashed in half and a dark purple ring exited from the cuts. The top half of the Tower of Justice, slid down off the lower half and Strawberry shot out, Yami had his eyes closed and Strawberry slashed out at him, Yami tilted to the side and dodged the slash before slashing down and opening his eyes.

Strawberry covered his body in Haki and got cut across the chest. The wound was very shallow and Yami frowned "What is that. Why does it block me..." Strawberry took his haki off and his marine uniform fell off in shreds, he had a thin line on his chest that was bleeding slightly.

He looked at Yami and said "You were able to cut through my haki? Your bounty is definitely wrong." Strawberry sheathed his swords and his arms turned black as he pointed forward and pushed extremely fast.

Yami's eyes widened and he cut the air bullet with his sword. Strawberry hummed and shot a bunch of flying Shigan at him like a machine gun. Yami cut the air bullets constantly and Strawberry kept shooting them at him, slowly inching forward as the intensity of the shigans increased.

Yami was focusing hard listening to the songs of warning as he cut in front of him incredibly fast, he narrowed his eyes at Strawberry who was definitely closer than he was before. Strawberry suddenly blurred and punched Yami right in the stomach. Yami's eyes widened and he coughed out blood, getting blasted across the sky.

Strawberry chased after him and said "No... it's not quite Observation Haki..." Yami wiped his mouth and kicked behind him, stopping himself from flying away any further. He touched his stomach and cleared his throat as Strawberry appeared behind him slamming his hands down like a hammer.

Yami spun around and slashed at his arms, just barely cutting into his skin as he met Strawberry's fists with his own, holing onto the hilt of Crimson. Yami was sent flying down through the sky and blurred appearing behind Strawberry and slashing out as fast as possible. Strawberry got a slash on his back and turned around but Yami disappeared to behind him again and slashing down before jumping and slashing through Strawberry's hat, cutting off most of his hair, making him look normal.

He jumped back as Strawberry paused.

Yami created distance between him and Strawberry and looked vigilant. Strawberry touched his head and felt his short hair. His calm face morphed into an enraged one, showing anything other than calmness for the first time, as he said "You're dead, kid."
