Showdown in the Forest
Luffy and others can hear the squishing sound of the grass. It seems Shikamaru and Gin has come. They all get alert. They plan to ambush and take him through surprise.
Shikamaru (Remembering)
Shikamaru: Lucy what about traps.
Lucy(Showing the map): These are location of traps. Try to get him in one or two trap.
Shikamaru(Present): Smiling.
He finds the location of the trap and forces Gin to the trap..
They both are standing face to face.
Shikamaru: Who are you? And why are you ruling here? How do you know about the other worlds?
Gin: Laughing loudly… I knew.. I Knew… I knew… I had been waiting for you…
Shikamaru: for me?
Gin: Yes.. Master would be happy… feel honoured to have a merciful death.
Shikamaru irritatingly forces his right foot forward to trip the wire…
It triggers a mechanism, a blade comes swinging and aims for Gin.
As it is about to strike Gin, it gets deflected with his own blade which extended almost 12 feet forcing the trap to be an unsuccessful attempt. It seems the blade has its own life and is operating on whims of Gin.
Shikamaru seeing the extended blade loses his focus and makes an opening.
Captain Gin senses the vulnerability and bounces back breaking the jutsu, maintaining a certain distance from his shadow.
Again the sword is extended for a thrust aiming for Shikamaru but it gets blocked. Shikamru holding his kunai in defense. The deflected sword again aims for severe organ slashes. Shikamaru duck under and again blocks his attack and run towards him to get him into his range of jutsu.
Shikamaru: Shadow possession jutsu
His shadow has almost reached the Gin but suddenly Gin jumps high in the air
Shikamaru(smiling): I knew it you would jump..
Luffy: Gear second 2
As soon as Gin jumps into the air he is punced by Luffy
Luffy: Red Hawkkkkkkkk…
Luffy makes his entry into the battle against Gin and punches him in his face.
Being in the air and caught off guard he is unable to deflect the attack and takes a punch.. He is sent flying in the woods.
Shikamaru: Nice timing luffy
Luffy: Yeah
They run towards him and gives him no chance to regain his foot.
Luffy: Jet gatling gun
Luffy rapidly and continuously delivers a barrage of high-speed punches at Gin. Each punch is infused with his Gear Second technique, which involves accelerating his blood flow, enhancing his speed, and delivering powerful strikes.
Captain Gin(utters): Flash steps
He moves swiftly, evades Luffy’s barrage of punches and close the gap raising his sword to pierce Luffy’s heart.
Luffy is sent flying.
Shikamaru: Luffyyyyyyyyyy……
Gin: One down..How many of you are here? I doubt you are only two. Anyways it doesnot matter. I will find you all and give you a gruesome death.. (laughing wickedly)
Suddenly Taurus comes charging at Gin, swinging his axe with full force aiming at his head. Gin taking advantage of his agile body ducks under swiftly, finds an opening and slashes his ribs creating a severe injury. Taurus screams in pain.
Lucy(Screams): Taurusssss!!!!!..
She runs to the battle ground in his aid and immediately sends Taurus to celestial world.
Gin: I knew you were more than two. Smiling in mystery and the larger the greater…
Gin sprints towards Lucy to kill her. Seeing Gin approaching, she freezes in fear, unable to move. His aura immobilizes Lucy from defending herself and is standing in disdain waiting for her death to approach.
Gin: You are a smart girl. The more you resist the more painful your death will be.. Stay still and I promise to give you a painless death… Laughing evilly
As Gin bolts towards Lucy, he falls into a pit filled with sharp spikes pointing upwards. Gin cries in pain, “AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH”.
Lucy(Smiles): You are so easy to trick. I manipulated you to fall for one of my trap and you fell for it. You are so naive. The first rule of the battle is never underestimate your opponent.
Shikamaru: Nice Lucy… Good job to lure him to your trap..
They both approaches in curiosity to the pit but now they can hear a giggling sound from the pit. They are stunned to see Gin standing in his sword which is stuck horizontally into the pit. The sword extended itself creating a platform to stand and prevented him from the bed of spikes.
Gin: Yes you are right. Never underestimate your opponent.
He instantly bounces and kicks Lucy in her face and slashes Shikamaru on his chest, injuring both of them.
Shikamaru (in pain): Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!…Shadow possession Jutsu
Shikamaru’s shadow extends and paralyzes Gin…
Shikamaru: Yes never underestimate the opponent….
He forces Captain Gin to throw his sword in the bushes.
Gin (resisting): I should have killed you earlier….
