[Kid Only]Midnight Crimson

[JAVIER SANTANA]

JAVIER THEME SONG

The area was tranquil; Loguetown was safely fastened in their beds or taverns, sleeping or drinking. Few were outside, and in this tightly compacted suburban area, it was easy to see why Javier would meet his duel here. It was dark, the moonlight fastening the droplets of moisture arising from the heated ground. Rain was coming, but not for hours. It was that stirring feeling, reminiscent aura that traced the atmosphere before a storm.

Javier took a last drag of his cigarette before thrashing it out and stomping on it, sparking the ground, then fading into a lifeless memory. Exhaling the smoke, he stood in the street, walking down and staying near the right side of the buildings. The lazy piece of shit had gone and forgotten where this anonymous duel was to take place, but whoever it was had either set him up, or was just plain cocky.

Fashionably late as usual, Alastor casually strolled along the dark town. Of course with the shit talking mouth he has, Alastor made a duel with a man by the name of Javier Bandana, or something like that. After standing there for about ten minutes, his bright mind figured that this ‘Javier’ must’ve forgotten about his location for the duel. ‘It was the perfect timing for the battle and this random bastard forgot where to go...I specifically say ’ he thought to himself as the people of Loguetown began to settle in their beds and taverns. Naturally, he wasn’t one to give up on a duel that was thought be a bit of a challenge so escaping to the rooftops, he began to leap from building to building in order to find this ‘Javier’.

It had been a short amount of five minutes until he came across a fellow who was smoking a cigarette and not leaving the area. As he stomped it out, Alastor came to the conclusion that he had to be Javier Bandana. Quite ninja-like, he flipped off the roof and land onto a nice pile of hay that had cushioned his fall. “Javier Bandana, I suppose? Figures that a guy like you would forget the simplest directions but whatever..I’m guessing, Mrs. Javier will want me to escort her to the proper area?” Alastor said in a quite cocky and mocking tone while bowing properly.

In the short amount of time he waited for a reply, Alastor analyzed his opponent. He was thin but not frail as a decent amount of muscle showed on his body. More an agile character, he might’ve had a slight advantaged over Al, which could prove fatal if he didn’t keep his head on a swivel. He may not have been as strong but quick blows could prove disastrous. Al on the other hand was pretty strong and fast. He may not be equal in speed but the strength advantage could prove a great asset in the fight.

Javier glanced up as the words left his mouth. He had already determined the capabilities of this Alastor the last time they met, which he vaguely remembered, but he did note that he was strong, well built, but looked like a pansy. Javier could take a hit, he had trained his body for brutal combat. This man...he was not so trained in that area. He was strong, all power, like a brute. Javier smirked at the missed attempt of his own, personal last name.

Clenching his sword, he simply nodded and turned away from the boy. He was young, and by all means what Javier considered dumb. While he himself was not book smart, he was at least street smart. "Good luck, boy, finding a Mrs. Santana." He stated. All the while, his guard, senses, were perfectly aware and ready to counter any attack that rained down on him, although he seemed to let his guard down. Javier never attacked first, it wasn't his style.

Even though that wasn't his style, it had led to defeats before. A first, well aimed strike could stumble him, make him dizzy, disorient him like any other human. He didn't want that now did he? His Haki was up and ready for use, and he immediately prepared to see what this mans move was. Hopefully this duel would be quick and easy, a simple Knockout. They were both pirates, yes, but Javier didn't want to kill another pirate in the streets without an audience. It didn't accomplish anything at all.

The pathetic attempt at making a witty comeback barely phased Alastor. It was quite amusing to him like when children make fun of each other with names like 'chicken nugget' or 'dodo head'. After a good amount of time, he noticed that Javier had clenched onto his sword, ready to defend of attack. Kuraikarite was still in it's sheath and Alastor planned on keeping it like that for the duel but this was nothing to play with.

Slowly gripping the hilt, he unsheathed the sword and let it rest on his shoulder. The sleek black metal of sword shined in the moonlight but it hadn't shed blood before. It was actually rather dull. What would be the fun in beating someone up with a sword if you killed them too fast? It could cut but not so easily, Kuraikarite was a bone crushing weapon, literally.

Alastor smirked and opened his mouth to talk more trash. "C'mon, Princess. Ladies first..."

"Well." Javier's words left the trace of his amber lit lips.

Turning to face his foe, he drew his sword and held it before him in a casual, nonchalant form. The blade tipped the gray dirt before him, and his sandals etched the earth with his weight impounding them down. The air was still, as no breeze could fondle the moment of such a heated situation. Javier remained calm, collected, intact, or so it appeared. Deep down, the fires of anger reached out to strike with all he had. Not because of the insults, but because of the challenge.

"Grow some damn balls and strike." His words were sketched with a raspy anger hidden behind his calm features. Despite the eagerness to strike, he wasn't about to leave himself open. If he did strike first, he'd make it worth it.

Javier felt the desire to plant his sandal into this mans teeth grow larger and larger by the moment. Unable to retain himself further, he put his grand scheme of this battle into motion: Kick Ass.

Drawing his blade and placing one step forth, he threw a sidearm slash aimed to maim his foes sword arm. He took his first attack with caution; throwing his weight forth, his knee's were slightly bent and his body slightly hunched, ready to drop, roll, or jump, depending on his opponents first move.

~Four Days IRL passed, turn skipped~

Javier's blade hit with direct contact, immediately disabling his foes arm, causing his to drop his blade. Javier was surprised at Kid's lack of ability. How interesting that a big mouthed bastard would fall so easily. Squinting his eyes, he followed the attack up with a bash to the nose with the hilt of his blade.

The hits obviously connected and hit, knocking the boy out. As he landed on the ground, unconscious, Javier bent over, taking his 600 Berry's, his Kuraikarite and Sheath, adding it to his waist, and his dried beef an backpack. Walking off he smirked slightly, and left the area with his new riches.

[battle won]

[Miles]

Topic is now closed. The sword Kuraikarite and the 600 berries belonging to Alastor Wargrave has been successfully looted and removed from his account and character - and added to that of Javier Santana's.
