Intimidation Agents! [ACTION]

[kendonobara]

[Here is Aya, standing at various places around Thor, looking sour. Not so different than usual. He stops you in your tracks.]

Thor Issued Passenger Status card, please.

[He's not kidding. He seems to have been given an official looking armband as well.]

Comments

[santoryu_marimo]

...Eh?

[Zoro heard Aya. He just doesn't see why he's suddenly being asked for his card.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[Zoro knows well enough not to use his full power right away, so he starts off with just two swords. Taking a fighting stance, he pauses for a moment to size up his opponent.]

[kendonobara]

[Aya notices that the other seems as if he's waiting for something, or just analyzing him. Either way, being on the defensive is smarter, as Zoro isn't an enemy. Any other time, he would strike first.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[It doesn't take long for Zoro to finally make the first move. He starts off simple, lunging forward as he slashes with his swords.]

[kendonobara]

[This is an unusual predicament, as Aya is used to fighting an opponent with one sword. He manages to block both swords once Zoro got close enough. There's a close call with one of them, but he manages in the nick of time.]

[He obviously needs to work on his speed.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[Since this isn't really a serious fight, Zoro doesn't plan to go full-strength, unless he really needs to. He still keeps to two swords for now, giving them more time to warm up.]

[Zoro pauses a bit of a distance away from Aya, then swings his arms with enough force to send an air-projectile towards his opponent.]

1/2

[kendonobara]

[Just when he thinks he has things managed...]

[Aya rolls out of the way as the air-projectile comes at him. The force is very strong, and he could hear just how powerful it is. If it had actually hit him, he would be in shreds.]

[Amethyst eyes widen in awe before looking back to Zoro, smirking when the moment of astonishment passes.]

[kendonobara]

Impressive.

[santoryu_marimo]

I'm just getting started.

[Figuring it's been long enough, he places a sword in his mouth, gripping it sideways with his teeth, then draws the third. Zoro pauses again to take a ready fighting stance, grinning at Aya from around the hilt.]

[kendonobara]

[With the use of three swords (one between his teeth?!), Aya makes no further further comment as he takes his own stance. He's aware of the a high possibility that this demonstration will not come out in his favor. Luckily, it's only a demonstration and nothing more serious.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[Even if it is just a demonstration, Zoro always enjoys a fight. Sparring is just as important as anything else, to keep his body in good shape for the real thing.

Finally using his santoryu style, Zoro decides to begin with his Ushi Bari attack - he holds two of his swords up like bull horns and charges forwards towards Aya.]

[kendonobara]

[This is new. Very new. Being unsure with how to act is frustrating. Deciding to do or...well, not die, but yes, he charges forward as well. Instinct always worked best in such situations.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[Zoro isn't looking to seriously injure Aya, but he does want to win. For this fight, his goal is to just knock over or disarm his opponent, if he can.]

[kendonobara]

[The attack comes in, and Aya sees that there is little choice but to roll away or lose his weapon. Rolling away would mean getting hit unless Zoro planned to avoid that.]

[So roll away he does.]

[santoryu_marimo]

[Throughout all his training, Zoro has learned to control his strength pretty well. It's not the first time he's done some harmless sparring, so when he slashes at Aya, he hits with the blunt side of his swords. No need to break someone's nose when you're just flexing some muscle.]

[kendonobara]

[There is a lot of power in Zoro's attack, and with the blunt side of the swords attacking him, Aya worries less about getting injured. On one knee, Aya feels himself slide back a bit at the power.]
