16.2 Death
At first, Kimimaro's countenance was grim as he felt Enel's heartbeat had stopped! However, soon he relaxed his posture slightly as he felt the once-stopped heartbeat of Enel were covered with lightning pulse and massaging it gently to bring Enel back to life.
Kimimaro uncovered his bone mask when he saw Enel slowly open his eyes.
"Yaha, *cough, I, I think I need to rest, for..a while.." Enel forced out a smile weakly toward Kimimaro.
Kimimaro sighed in relief as he patted Enel's shoulder. "I told you to be careful with his Haki." He smiled toward Enel.
"I'm...Sorry, Yah...ha..ha.." Enel lost consciousness in an instant after he saw Kimimaro's usual gentle smile.
Kimimaro shook his head and let Enel get some rest despite being in the middle of battle.
Bullet's Haki and his battle experience had successfully caught both of them off guard. However, Kimimaro doesn't feel discouraged.
Kimimaro slowly stood back, he raised his head to look at Bullet who folded his hands in front of his chest.
"Now, let us continue?" Bullet taunted Kimimaro while grinning sinisterly.
"You're the strongest person we've faced until now. Next, please be advised, surrender, or die..." An ominous spark could be seen briefly in Kimimaro's eye.
contrary against Bullet's expectation, Kimimaro undid his bone armor and revealed his lean yet muscular body, sweat and traces of blood could be seen all around his body.
"I thought you would be protected using those armor?" Bullet couldn't help but ask.
As the last tip of his bone armor returned inside, Kimimaro tilted his head and answered, "It is, but, it also slowed my movement for a bit.."
"I see, sacrificing your speed for strength, that's good thinking. But, now what? you'll be fully exposed against me now!"
Kimimaro jerked his left shoulder joint for a bit, and slowly the skin around his shoulder revealed an arm bone which emerged outside.
calmly, Kimimaro unsheathed his arm bone which had been modified into a sharpened bone sword.
"Kahahaha! Interesting, I thought you were a Martial arts user, I never expected you'll pull out a sword like that!" Bullet began to make his stance ready.
Shaking his head, Kimimaro replied, "Unfortunately. Douglas Bullet, Let's dance. Tsubaki no Mai(Dance of the Camelia).
Bullet was feeling a slight chill deep inside when he heard Kimimaro. At this time, Bullet could feel more pressure emitted by his opponent after he decided to change his combat style!
"Kahahahhaha! That's what I want!" Bullet shouted as he kicked the ground and rushed towards Kimimaro.
