Chapter 42 - Ishida vs The Second in Command!

The Battle of The Strongest gets interrupted as the 2 Shogunate Officers Jaggar and Mori arrive in Springtown. Causing Ryizen to flee the area only for Jaggar to catch up to him. And Ajax declares Ishida will not lose to Poka as he commands him to win.

Down in the basement that turned out to be a farther drop then Ishida intended he finally lands on the floor.

"Jeez that damn Ajax there's a basement he says. Didn't mention how far down it'd be." Ishida grumbles.

"Aahhhhhhhhhh!" Rumi screams as she falls down.

"Oh wait, don't worry Rumi, your Knight in shining armour will catch you!" Ishida declares as he leans into the air and scoops up Rumi before softly setting her down. 

"Jeez why did I pick an idiot like him to follow to this damn sword." Rumi gasps and sighs. 

"Rumi, are you hurt anywhere? Are you bleeding? Oh maybe I could use some of my suit to stop it!" Ishida starts blabbering on. 

"I'm fine Ishida jeez. Weren't you just stressed out and troubled 4 minutes ago?" Rumi sighs. 

"You know the lady's right. Besides, you have other problems to worry about kido." Poka's voice echoes throughout the basement level.

"Oh yeah you.I was busy saving Rumi. I completely forgot about you." Ishida says brushing himself off. 

"You can't just forget about me moron, I'm the whole reason you came down here to fight in the first place!" Poka yells revealing himself.

"There you are MartialArts: BarreradeButler!" Ishida yells as he kicks Poka off the wall. 

"Oh I'm not done with you yet! MartialArt: Puñetazolealista!" Ishida yells as he punches Poka as he bounces off the wall. 

"Woah woah woah woah timeout Jesus Christ!" Poka says slightly unsheathing his sword and disappears.

"Hmm he disappeared. Where could he have gone? And how big is this damn floor!?" Ishida mumbles to himself.

"Ishida's been acting strange ever since we've gotten here. I'm glad he's told me what's slightly worrying him, however I didn't think Ishida was this strong." Rumi thinks to herself watching the battle.

"Damn I told mister Nagama you were different I just can't tell why!" Poka groans revealing his location once again.

"Hello again bastard!" Ishida shouts before charging at Poka again. 

"Jesus, does he ever rest?!" Poka gasps as he moves out the way.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm as normal as can be." Ishida says as he removes his foot from the floor. 

"No way! No one has ever walked up to Mister Nagama like that until you arrive so what's your power!" Poka says.

"The power to kick your ass." Ishida simply states. 

"I was afraid you'd say that." Poka groans.

"Besides, you tried to take Rumi hostage in order to distract me. You're not gonna be forgiven ever for as long as I live." Ishida says, staring at Poka.

"Oh c'mon you're still on that you chivarist? Key word "tried" I didn't actually do it." Poka points out.

"Besides you and your little master do the same thing. What's with you not using your sword to fight me? I've kicked your ass enough, clearly you see you'll need it?" Ishida smirks.

"Well it's because my- y'know what better if I just show you rather than explain." Poka grumbles before fully unsheathing his blade. 

"It looks like a normal sword but that was the same case from mister Nagama. But knowing this town I gotta stay on my toes." Ishida observes. 

"So now you see me." Poka says before disappearing from sight. 

"Now you don't." Poka grins as he sword rests on Ishida's neck causing Ishida to shudder.

"What the hell?" Ishida thinks as he slightly turns around. 

"I swear I saw him teleport to Ishida! That can't be right, nobody can just teleport at will! Unless he has." Rumi mumbles analyzing the situation.

"So you must have some type of charm then huh?" Ishida says.

"Why of course I do. How else would I be named Nagama's second in command?" Poka chuckles.

Ishida pushes Poka off him as he creates distance away from him.

"You know that door for the beginning of the Death match? I did that." Poka explains.

"Oh can it if you can teleport then I'll just have to get rid of that damn sword!" Ishida says kicking a barrel at Poka but before it reaches him it vanishes before appearing above Ishida. 

"What the!?" Ishida gasps as he jumps out the way. 

"Hmm, it seems you still don't truly understand what my sword charm is. And here I thought you were a smart one." Poka taunts.

"That barrel didn't even reach him so how did it even come near me did he teleport it to me? But his sword didn't move?" Ishida contemplates in his head. 

"Seems you'll need another visual to understand how it works hmm." Poka groans before walking towards Rumi.

"Hey wait what are you doing I'm just a simple bystander!" Rumi panics.

"Hey you stay away from her you bastard!" Ishida yells as he runs towards Poka.

Poka simply stops in front of Rumi before slashing at her and she disappears.

Ishida stops in his tracks. 

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HERE YOU ASSHOLE!" Ishida yells out.

"Oh hush, give it a second." Poka says, rolling his eyes.

After a few seconds a faint scream is heard. 

"Ishida you bastard save me!" Rumi yells out as she is seen falling from the hole from earlier.

"What the?" Ishida simply states before catching Rumi.

"Alright I think I'm starting to understand. It's not teleportation. It's a matter of you warping people away." Ishida says glaring at Poka.

"Ding Ding Ding! Took you long enough butler. I have the warp charm allowing me to warp whatever and whoever I feel." Poka says, chuckling.

"Would make sense. But then how would you explain the door? We all saw you standing with Nagama so how'd you do it?" Ishida questions. 

"Can it dude. This is a battle I've done more than my fair share of explaining what my charm is; the rest is up to you. I just felt I needed to show you how hopeless you're gonna be in a few seconds." Poka laughs. 

"Dammit Ajax you really sent me up against a monster y'know?" Ishida mumbles. 

"Now mister Ishida if I can call you that. It's time to continue our battle but this time it won't be so one-sided in your favor." Poka says, slicing the air before disappearing.
