Zoro’s features pulled into an instant, sinister grin. The Swordsman mimicked the Exorcist, in kind, drawing Shusui. He held the blade at an angle, towards the ground.
“P’rhaps you should let that blade do the talking, huh?” The Pirate Hunter goaded, spreading his arms slightly, signalling a free advance from the Exorcist.
And advance he did, a vein still bulging from his forehead as he leapt towards the cocky Pirate. As the gap closed between the pair, Yu Kanda swang Mugen towards his foe, in a horizontal arc aimed directly for his midsection. The action triggered a slight reaction in Zoro, a derisive snort and a quick step backwards, followed up by and upwards swing of Shusui, forcing Kanda’s blade off course. However, the technicality this Exorcist possessed was nothing to snort at. Kanda landed, grinding his heel into the brilliant white surface, throwing him into a neat spin. The resulting momentum, in tandem with an outstretched blade caused the Pirate Hunter to dart backwards a few steps, caught off guard. He had to find comfortable ground with the new physics and the apparent lack of ability. Zoro ground to a halt some feet away, his free hand giving him some leverage over his stance. Knelt, his fist planted onto the bright white surface, the Hunter was poised to strike. An inhuman burst of speed left the man as he leapt towards Kanda, Shusui outstretched before him. The Exorcist was ready for the lunge, his blade already placed to defend. He caught the strike with the flat of his blade, however, he had underestimated the Pirate Hunter’s strength, causing him to be blown backwards a fair way. A look of shock and or awe remained plastered across Yu Kanda’s face as his opponent straightened up to his full height, revealing an impressive form, to say the least.
The Exorcist furrowed his brow as he studied the newer Prime before him. The Pirate Hunter took a few steps forwards, approaching the Prime before him, his right hand gliding over the hilt of his second Katana, Sandai Kitetsu.
“You sure can talk the talk, but you're not quite ready to walk the walk. Time's up, it's my turn.” Zoro smirked, flicking his thumb at the guard that rested between the blade and hilt, drawing his Katana. Yet another burst of speed allowed the Prime to close the gap between the two men in the matter of a blink of an eye. Roronoa unleashed a brutal flurry upon Kanda, successive blows deflected through some manner of sheer dumb luck or..
Kenbunshoku Haki, The Hunter’s thoughts lingered on Haki for a moment, a grimace crawled its way across his features. His flurry shattered by the speed and finesse of his opponent, Zoro bounded backwards somewhat, Katana dropped to his sides, angled toward the ground once more.
“Haki, huh? Makes things a bit more interesting..” Zoro muttered quietly, glaring coldly towards the Exorcist.
