Chapter 7: A taste of revenge

*roar* charged a massive beast, it's huge brawny body was a mixture between a rhinoceros' and an elephant's. It opened its weirdly shaped mouth as it aimed to decapitate Matthew. 

Seemingly to the other side, stood a ready for battle posed Matthew, as he held onto  his precious spear which he now called 'bayonet', pale white energy radiating from his bulging veins, caused by the grip strength. 

" Haaa!" He shouted. Bloodlust intensified as he channeled an unnatural amount of power behind the thrust, the familiar white beam now had green shades surrounding it, increasing its travel speed and destructive power. 

The beam hit the animal quite hard, its front limbs were completely obliterated from existence, causing its body to drop and bleed to death. 

'...the fusion is somewhat effective' matthew was experimenting, using the wind to enhance the speed behind the crescent strike, or at least that was the idea behind. he basically combined a basic version of rankyaku, one of the marines six marines, and the third movement of Hozoin-ryu. 

Yes, Matthew can actually use rankyaku, a fact he just learned today. The concept was very similar to the crescent strike, except he had to manipulate the wind from the atmosphere and release it as the desired structure. it wasn't easy to do, as the process was very exhausting for both the mind and the body, not to mention, the wind 'energy' was very wild in nature, so it was hard for the novice him to tame and use. 

Crescent strike used internal spiritual energy, something Matthew didn't want to touch as he can't use any of the 3 haki types, so he resorted to not exerting his full power when using it and compromising as much internal energy as possible. The wind will act as a substitute for the lost energy, hopefully yielding the same result. 

For his delight, It worked quite well. The crescent beam held the same momentum and capability as it did before, the wind particles gave it those weird greenish colored tints. its beautiful pastel-green hue made it a fulfilling treat to the eyes, somehow matching Matthew's hazel colored pair of globes, and adding more paint to the picture

" sir matthew, you still haven't talked to me about this move you use, how come it pierces the tough animal hide so easily" 

" it's my now 'signature' move, 'crescent kaze' as some would call it. But it's still too early for you to even attempt to replicate the process, your muscles are underdeveloped…" 

"... I apologize…"

" your movements are still sluggish. you reveal way too many openings when fighting. And you barely even strike at weak points… "

"... I apologize…"

" your Conqueror's haki is still at its infancy stage. you cannot manipulate world energy yet. Oh and There's those overflowing emotions you have yet to perfectly suppress and control… "

"... I apologize…"

"... Hmm, Can you stop apologizing? "

"... I… I apologize sir matthew… "

"... I forgive you, can you stop now?... " what seemed to be a casual conversation between the pair of disciple and teacher ended, as Matthew took notice of her status panel

She was a sword genius, probably at the level of zoro's childhood friend, as matthew expected, 'the D's are monsters' he thought while eyeing the fully clad in light leather armor albino girl, wearing a steely expression. 

"... For the love of the many-faced god, let's keep moving, you said your village was somewhere down that hill?" 

"... Yes sir, it should be around there…" 

"... Why are you looking at me like that?" 

"... It's just that… you don't really give off the impression of a religious person… "

"... Hahaha, well I'm not the most devoted one you will find, but I do indeed follow a god… "

"... Does your god bless fields and cattle? Or does he oversee time and space and the like?... "

"... No, for he does no such thing… The many-faced lord is almighty, for he forgives and executes the sinners… no mere faith can equate to his greatness… "

"... So he's responsible for death… for emotion… for birth? "

"... Life and death are two sides of the same coin, sweet Angella. The moment we die, an all black wearing angel will be sent by his highness to guide us through fertile lands once again, when our sins grow ever too great to borne, the scythe descends from the dark angel, claiming what ought to be a tribute to the many-faced god. the blood will flow from the neck… and wash away our many sins…"

"... Did you happen to witness his miracles and feats?... " curiosity about her master's life, slowly rose from the inside. 

"... The spear I hold is a miracle, one too great to be overlooked. Once I bring him the desired sacrifices, the price of my life will be paid…" he explained vaguely

"..." 

Deciding not to entertain the young girl's blasphemous thoughts any further, they resumed walking until voices were heard through the woods. 

" oi, Rorge, have you found any footprints for the little bitch yet?"

" not yet, we ain't got that much time do we?" 

"... Rudger won't be pleased…" 

" yes, no shit" 

The 2 guys looked like a pair of twins, literally. The same mat of black hair, held above an average looking face with weird nose and mouth shapes, it quite the comedic sight, seeing both idiots searching for a 12yo little girl. 

The girl in question seemed surprisingly calm, as they both approached, her hands were tightened around her wooden sword handle, she seemed ready for a fight, a fight that Matthew was excited to witness

"... Their blood is yours to claim, show me that I didn't waste my time training you" 

"... Of course sir, I won't disappoint" sure enough, she made her appearance on the soon-to-be-a-battlefield green plain, hand fettered on the sword, a resolute expression showed on her face, a face that the twin had recognized. 

" oi, isn't she the scared cat we were searching for" 

" Yihahahaha, the gods have smiled upon us today, Rudger will truly be pleased" 

Her murderous intent flowed, not minding their speech, her gaze sharpened as she prepared to swing her blade. 

" To a man with the loudest mouth, the clever angella will strike him first… stand still as if you had been carved of stone… Don't lose your focus, the moment you do, the many-faced god will feast on your soul… a fine swordswoman will deliver the first move… " Matthew's lessons replayed in her mind in slow motion. 

"... Does she really think she can beat us, Rorge? " the first man said as he took out his mace and shield

"... This girl is in denial. Don't worry, once the leader gets hold of your body, your death will come shortly after, Yihahahaha haha…" spoke the other loudly as he prepared his Saber 

*splash* a blue colored wide arc that held enormous amounts of power behind it traveled forward as it severed Rorge's left hand.

" Aahhhhhhh! " He screamed in great pain, applying pressure around the cut to reduce the serious bleeding caused. This was Shintō suru, a powerful move that Matthew taught to her, using a variation of his 'crescent kaze' that should in theory work well with swords. 

" Rorge! You little bitch, I will murder you!" the other twin charged onwards holding onto his big metal-spiked mace, bringing his shield in front, hoping it somehow stops or blocks the scary looking blue attack. 

*woosh* he swung horizontally, aiming to squash her head. She dodged to the side, easily evading the attack, as she inspected his movements in details

'... too weak, too many openings, barely getting hold of his anger' the pirate couldn't compare to her master Matthew, who could see her moves coming a mile away. Not once did he flinch, even when she went all out with her Conqueror's haki. 

"Haaa" she tilted her body to the side, gracefully dodging another swing that aimed for the hands this time. 'he is way too predictable. not only that, he can't even hold his mace properly…' 

Did she really run from lowlifes this weak? Maybe she truly deserved that suffering. But now, she had to end it swiftly. 

"... Strike swiftly… don't miss the heart… make it a silent one, silent as the night…" 

His movements stopped, as his heart was pierced through. His body dropped, signaling her first kill in her life. 

" y-y-you little devil. Are you a demon's spouse? Y-You don't even blink as you kill in cold blood…" Rorge commented in great fear at her performance. She looked at him Strangely.

" 'your death will come shortly after', I remember hearing you say that, where did that confidence go…" not wanting to waste any time, she stepped to his side, her red wooden sword appeared to be deadlier than any other weapon. 

" William,Rudger….They will avenge us…"

" oh, I'm sure they will, you poor thing… " she said as she separated his head from his body…
