Haruki yawned a bit as he looked into the street. He was sitting on a café with an outside platform so that the people could sit outside and enjoy the sunny days. But he was not there to enjoy himself. Oh no, he was looking for someone. A specific someone. The computer in his sunglasses had been running ever since he sat down, scanning the street. Now and then a face was sent to the upper right corner with the bounty under it, but it was not the person he was looking for. This time he was stronger. And hopefully he would be able to take her on.
Taking a cup with his right hand, he sipped the contents. Nothing like coffee when searching for someone. All his gear was equipped too. Only that every last bit of it except the revolver on his hip was turned invisible by his devil fruit power. His revolver, and the sunglasses. Hopefully she would appear soon. Watching over the street was tiring. Not to mention boring.

Catherine often frequented Lyneel Kingdom. Why? That was something she wasn't sure of herself. It was almost like she was drawn here. It did not matter too much to her though. There was good restaurants, good ingredient shops and often something fun going on. She'd had a lot of fun here. She remembered the bounty hunter she had fought before. He had tried to sneak attack her and had paid the price. She wondered what he was doing now.
Little did she know that he was looking for her, aiming to get his revenge with his new might. However, he did not know that she was also quite different from the last time they fought. Her devil fruit's true form had been unlocked. This of course caused her to lose some powers, but other powers were now much stronger. Plus, she was not more skilled in non-devil fruit combat.
She walked along the street munching on an apple. It was a delicious apple, much more delicious than was normally found. Why was it so delicious? She could not explain it. It was given to her, along with many other ingredients that filled the sack on her back, by a magical monkey in exchange for rounding up his ostriches. Strange, but true.

Haruki smiled as he saw the image he had been waiting for appear on the upper right corner. So there she was, looking so carefree with her apple. Well it was good that he saw her first. Now he could follow her. Getting up, he invoked his power on himself, covering him and all the still visible gear partially invisible. He had paid for the coffee when he got it, so he just jumped over the small fence separating the platform from the street, and made his way through gaps and openings, starting to follow her.
As he jumped over the fence, Eralia squeaked as she was pulled along, through the fence. She managed to get herself into the same pace as Haruki. Unlike him she went right through people and she was able to see him even if he had the fruits power invoked. So she could keep track of him. And the apple eating girl he was following. She knew why they were there, so she asked no questions. But if she had to, she would step in between them. No one was going to kill her student, that’s for sure.

Catherine was not aware she was being followed though she had a strange feeling she was being watched. She continued to walk for a while then suddenly spun round ready to throw the trench knife if she saw an enemy. However, she saw nothing at all. She glanced about, but still saw nothing.
"Must be imagining things." she said to herself as she continued on her way. Her hand lightly rested just inside the pouch that Death was stored in. If necessary she'd use it, but right now nothing seemed to be happening.

Haruki smiled to himself as Catherine had suddenly turned around only to not notice them. Or, notice him at least. The streets were getting emptier for some reason, so it was easier for him to get closer to her. Knowing that the risk of what he was about to do was extremely huge, he just had to do it. He set off running. What was he going to do? He was going to run past her and try smacking her butt. Just to check if she would find him. He had no idea why, but he had hoped for a situation where he could do that. Eralia sighed, following him.
Your decision wether you want the buttsmack to hit or not….and you are allowed to autohit him for it :3 |

Catherine almost leapt 3ft in the air, or that was how it seemed, as she was slapped on the butt. Someone was nearby and that someone couldn't be seen. Well, if that's the way they wanted to play it. She thrust her hand down towards the ground and the air below her fist seemed to shatter. THis sent a massive shockwave into the ground that would cause a miniature earthquake in every direction around her. She was the epicenter and the radius was 10m. It would easily hit Haruki.
The damage caused by the blast would be dependent on the distance he was away from Catherine. If he was within 2m, which was very likely, he would be sent flying forwards with heavy damage to his lower body. The shock would possibly be enough to shock him into visibility. The further away he was from Catherine the less damage would be done and the less distance he would be thrown. Still the surprise would likely shock him into visibility unless his concentration was of the highest level.
The power of this technique was massive, enough to send a giant flying a few feet especially if the giant was close so for someone as lightweight as Haruki it would send him flying. Probably with enough force to go through a wall if there was one nearby.
------------------
▌ NAME: Padella (Frying Pan)
▌ LEVEL: 3
▌ MAJORS: Power
▌ MINORS:
▌ DESCRIPTION:
This technique is expected to be the main use of this particular fruit. With this the user sends a shockwave into the ground, normally by stomping their foot to break the air just above the ground. This creates a large area of effect earthquake around her for 10m. Those close to the epicenter(within 2m) will be the worst affected and will be sent flying and have large amounts of damage to the lower body. The further away from the epicenter the less damage is done and the shorter the distance a person is sent flying. This has enough power to even send a giant flying a few feet, particularly at close range.
This has a slight vartion which is more linear in direction. The user launched a shockwave diagonally downwards, normally from the fist. This sends the entire power of the shockwave through the ground. This launches the power of the shockwave forward 0.5m wide, but for every metre it is away from the epicenter it gets wider till it reaches its maximum range of 15m where the width is approximately 5m. The wider the area the less effective it is. However, this is more powerful then the all around version. When this is used she calls it mezzopadella.
It is possible, if near large amounts of water to create tidal waves with this ability in either form though the waves will be significantly bigger if used with the mezzopadella.
This requires a two post cooldown.

Haruki was grinning when he smacked her butt. He had not thought that he would actually succeed. But he actually did it. Invisibility was something he seriously loved. Eralia just shaked her head. She had to do something about his habit of doing perverted stuff at some time. But for now, she just went with it. And then he was hit by the earthquake. He had not paid attention, and had not managed to get more than a meter away from her. The next moment he was flying through the air, Eralia pulled along with him, towards a wall. The next second there was a big hole in the wall. Haruki had hit it with such a force that there was a big hole instead of a man shaped hole. Inside the building, his body was slowly turning visible as he struggled to get up. His feet was not obeying his brain. And considering his feet was what he needed most in fights, he was in serious trouble now. ”Was that worth it?” Eralia asked him. Only he could hear her voice, so he smirked. ”Worth it” he responded, turning around as fast as he could with his damaged lower body. Oh it hurt, but he was not about to let her get any more free hits. At least he had managed to keep his gauntlet and the gear attached to it invisible.

Catherine walked over towards the large hole in the wall unsheathing Agony as she did so. This was the weapon drawn from the seastone. The two weapons it had been a set of had been sold because they did not suit her new preferred method of fighting and they were very weak blades, or at least compared to Agony and Yubashiri. Agony used to be a heavy blade, but it had been reduced in weight so it was easier to wield. She walked through the rubble and stared at the person with a mixture of annoyance and surprise. So the bounty hunter had gained the power to turn invisible? Was it some sort of camouflage device or was it a devil fruit.
"You again?" she asked looking at him. It seemed his arms had healed nicely. She had broken them in their last battle. Or perhaps it was more apt to say that he had broken them. "You managed to get a bit stronger then?"

Haruki had gotten up now. At least he could stand. Wether he could move or not was yet to be known. He looked at Catherine, smiling. ”Maybe. After all, you kicked my ass too fast last time for me to really do anything.” he said, moving his left hand up so that it was horizontally aligned with his chest. He then placed his right hand on the invisible gauntlet so that it looked like he was pushing the air because of the gauntlets size. And then he pushed it. At the same time as he pushed it he moved his left hand as fast as he could to the side in a wide arc, and the tip of the swords made something that looked like rifts in the air. Just as he finished the arc, the rift looking blades shot forward towards Catherine at the speed of 15mps. They were so big that they would probably slice the walls as well as going out through the hole. And just to be sure, he moved his right hand down to his hip and pulled out the revolver, ready to fire if he had too.
Eralia was standing a bit away from Haruki, feeling the battle aura coming off from his attack. She was just watching for now, to determine the power of both her student....and his opponent.

Catherine saw him doing something with his arm. What was he doing? It seemed like his hand was pressing against something, something she couldn't see. Shit, could he also turn his weapons invisible without him being invisible? That was bad. She didn't know what weapons he had nor how strong they were. There was only one thing for it. She would have to use her devil fruit again.
As he swung his arm three blades of air were launched. Yet they would not reach her. She thrust her hand forward and shattered the air generated a massive shockwave. This was her taglierre, her chopping board, technique. It was perhaps one of her more useful techniques functioning well as an offense or defense. Plus it was able to black non-tangible things like fire. The shockwave would disperse the air blades, but that was not all. It would continue on for 15m with serious concussive force. It would break through walls and objects and probably send Haruki flying again.
Unfortunately, she would not be able to use that again for a little while and it would still be a short while before she could use her padella technique. Still, the force would likely send him flying giving her time to recover.

Haruki’s eyes widened as she countered. His wind slash did not even reach her. This was bad. Really really bad. He had barely managed to pull out the revolver, and he raised his left hand up, feeling it hit the gauntlet. The force of the attack made the invisibility literally peel off from the gauntlet, revealing it and his three swords attached to it. And then it sent him flying. However, as he was airborn, he lifted his right arm, still holding the revolver. The tinted lenses in his sunglasses blocked his sight with numbers, data collected as the fight was going on, before they disappeared and he pulled the trigger while aiming at her. What that came out of the revolver were not ordinary bullets. He had changed them with blinders earlier. So if she blocked it with an attack, it would ignite. If it hit her, it would ignite without piercing her. And even if she dodged, it would ignite behind her. But that would not have any effect. So hopefully she would get blinded by it long enough for him to recover a bit. That was what he thought as he hit the wall behind him, going through it. God damn, he had to be breaking a record soon. Two walls in little time.
blinder ammo :3 |

Her attack had been successful. It had defended against the airblades and sent her opponent flying. He had grown stronger that was for certain. He would never have managed that the last time they fought together. Her shockwave had only just been able to block it. A truly impressive growth. What interested her as much was the gauntlet. That was what he had been hiding with his invisibility. A gauntlet that seemed to have the end of three swords sticking out of it. They had to of been what he launched the wind blades with. Her keen eyes noted that one of the blades was definitely seastone. That could be bad.
However, she wasn't given much time to think. As he flew backwards he had used his gun to fire a shot at her. She didn't have enough time to dodge, but she managed to raise her sword in time. This would prove to be a mistake for her as this caused the blinder to ignite which ruined her vision temporarily. She couldn't see anything. However, it hadn't pushed her back or disrupted where she was looking. She charged forward swinging her sword diagonally launching off a blade of air.
This travelled at 10 meters per second and had a range of 15 meters. It was as strong as her sword, which was skillful grade with every enhancement except seastone. Swift, strong and with high cutting potential. She had aimed it straight ahead of her hopefully hitting Haruki.

Haruki gasped for air as he hit the ground. Her attack was powerful, that’s for sure. It was actually so powerful that Eralia began to shimmer. He heard the sound of his blinder ammo igniting, and a powerful light from inside the building. And then, something that looked almost like his wind slash swept over him. He could see it as it passed over him. He was lucky there. It was only a single air blade, but it was definitively more powerful than his wind slash.
He got up slowly, his lower body giving off almost numbing pain as he did. He had managed to hold on to his revolver, and since his wind slash needed a little more time for him to be able to use it again, he fired off another blinder towards her. Even if she was unaffected because of the blinder he used first, it could throw her movements off with the impact. And hopefully he would be able to hit her forehead. But the time he had taken to get up could have ruined his chance. But he would take it anyway.
As she sent off the air blade, Eralia had become totally visible. The battle aura from the attack had been enough to take away her invisibilty, but she was still a spirit that was impossible to touch by anyone she did not want to be able to touch her. She had been dragged along as Haruki went flying, and was now standing in the hole of the wall, leaning against the side being able to see both of them with a glance here or there. Now, she was wondering how she would react to her sudden appearance.

Catherine's vision had recovered by the time he began to get up so she saw him aiming the blinder. However, what distracted her slightly was the appearance of the spirit. There had been a second fighter here all the time? Yet all the movements had seemed to be Haruki's. Was she just waiting for the right moment? She leapt to the side to avoid the blinder. It was a narrow miss flying just past her ear. A bit closer and it would of hit her dead on the forehead which likely would of caused a more extended blindness.
"You've gotten a lot better Haruki." she said calmly. "And more confident, but perhaps because you are not alone." The woman smirked slightly. Did Haruki really think numbers would stop her? Catherine looked at Haruki for a moment. He was the main threat she was sure and the only way to get the woman to do anything would be for her to really show off her power. It was time to show off the true power of her padella technique. With a quick burst of speed of her Hunter technique she covered a lot of the distance between the two of them.
With a thrust of her hand she launched her fist downwards diagonally. Like before this launched an earthquake. However, rather then being an all around technique like before this was all focused in one direction straight towards Haruki. It started off at 0.5m and every meter it got wider till it reached its maximum range of 15m where it was as wide as 5m.
"Mezzopadella." she stated as she launched it. Due to being focused in one direction it was more powerful then the normal padella.
▌ NAME: Cacciatore (Hunter) ▌ LEVEL: 3 ▌ MAJORS: Accuracy, Power ▌ MINORS: Haste ▌ DESCRIPTION: This is a high speed movement technique which uses powerful precise movements in order to acheive high speeds. With this the user tenses the muscles in their legs and then kicks off the ground allowing them to move over a shot distance of 5ft in nearly about a second. Using this she can quickly launch herself off in any direction including upwards or at a diagonal. The reason this requires accuracy is that the kick off has to be precise or the power in the legs is not used properly and so the speed is reduced. Due to the high speed movement if she launches an attack it will generally have more concussive power. This can be used once before requiring a four post cooldown. |

Haruki’s eyes went wide as the blinder missed. God damn it. Now he was in trouble. He then tilted his head. What did she mean with numbers….oh god, her attacks were powerful enough to make Eralia appear? Well, he was surely in trouble. And then she attacked. Out of nowhere she got closer before using her earthquake tech. Oh, he was screwed…
Eralia smiled as she saw the female noticing her. Well, the confusion was common when people saw her. But she could not let her do this next attack. It could kill Haruki. So therefore, as Catherine used her tech, she walked right through her and kicked Haruki in the chest in an angle, sending him flying into the wall. It was less painful than being hit by the attack from the pirate, that was for sure.Haruki himself was surprised. Not by the fact that she kicked him. Oh no. He was surprised because she decided to intervene.
