"..."
Half expecting the pirate twosome to turn tail and run at the sheer whisper of his name, Zabuza grinned proudly, lifting his nose to the sky. Several moments elapsed of deafening quiet, apart from a brisk wind sweeping the land. Droplets of sweat crawled along the swordslinger's brow.
Irritation setting in, he slowly peeled an eye open. Slim and shorty hadn't budged a muscle; instead scratching their heads in befuddlement. A vein bulging from his forehead, the alleged "demon" brandished his massive blade, pointing it at Straw Hat as if to declare a homerun.
"A-Anyway...at the very least, you'll serve as a worthy appetizer!" Alas, Zabuza gunned forward, sword in hand.
"Bring it on Zebra!!" Luffy taunted, leaping from a crouched stance. The mist shinobi trembled at the fool's mispronunciation, only serving to nourish his temper. With a broad swing, Zabuza heaved his mighty cleaver. Limber as ever, Straw Hat arched his spine a full ninety degrees, allowing the blade to flow harmlessly above.
Springing back, Luffy snapped his rubber dome forward, attempting a headbutt. The swordsman was quick; too quick. He caught Straw Hat's head with his free palm like a baseball, gripping the pirate's hair firmly and holding him steady for good measure.
"Too sloppy," the masked bastard sneered, hefting his beheader up for an additional strike. Sunlight gleamed from the sharpened tip as he forced it down.
Shunk!
Zabuza's eyes pulsed amply as pain shot up through his leg, halting the assault. Relinquishing his grip, Luffy's head retracted. The mercenary glanced down; a knife was sunken deeply into his foot. An ear to ear grin stretched along the stretchy boy's stretchy face.
Offering a gander to Buggy, he noticed the clown was short one hand; but the big-nosed freak certainly wasn't short on jeering smirks. In his overconfidence, the shinobi must have failed to notice the blue-haired pirate toss Luffy his dagger-wielding digits. That elastic prick must've had the dagger in his teeth the whole time, dropping it into my foot...wait, how can that other weirdo remove his hand?!
"Shishishi, I thank Zoro for that one. One-Sword Style: Knife-in-Foot!" Luffy chuckled to himself. "That's a stupid name idiot! Think of something flashy!" The clown criticized, tossing another stone at his head.
"Enough! I'm not going to bother filleting you. Instead, you'll become the main course for my ultimate Jutsu!," Zabuza threatened, withdrawing his giant apple slicer.
Fwip! Fwip! Fwip! Fwip!
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!!"
Following a sequence of odd hand gestures, the shoreline nearby began to tremble. A rising current gave birth to mammoth waves prior to dismantling. It danced above the surface, molding into a massive serpentine silhouette.
Buggy squealed hysterically, his eyeballs pulling away from his skull. His string bean partner lost himself in a complete frenzy, foaming at the mouth and fermenting with excitement. "DRAGON!!! SOOO COOOOOOO...glubabagaba...!!"
The azure beast came crashing down like a rogue wave upon the pirates, flooding an entire sandbank and submerging them beneath a blanket of sea water. It was evident their devil fruit weaknesses also applied in this realm; incapacitated and drained, they were powerless to react, falling helpless against the mercy of raging currents. The force of the impact devoured a set of log cabins before retreating to the sea, leaving a pair of drenched and dizzied captains in its wake.
Treading along the mushy sand, Zabuza stopped to gawk at the barely conscious captains. Hovering over them victorious, his spiked hair eclipsed the sun, shading a wicked gaze.
"Ack! He—He's a...cack!...Devil Fruit user?" An addled Buggy insinuated, coughing up sea water.
"Devil what? This is called ninjutsu, however that's not the first time I've been called a devil," the mist ninja explained, hoisting his portable guillotine in preparation.
"Zabuza, forget them. We have work to do," his partner ordered from afar before swiftly taking his leave. The masked assailant scoffed in chagrin.
"Time's up. My elbow is feeling better now, so instead of killing you I'll just amputate an arm."
Zlish!
His executioner blade swept clean through Buggy's shoulder, vaulting the dismembered limb aside. Curiously, not a spec of blood adorned the sword nor the clown. Passing it off as another oddity of the Omniverse, Zabuza merely shrugged, turned and disappeared. Moments later Luffy finally came to, but the smug bastard was gone.
