White Tiger

"Vista!" 

Jozu took a squat beside's his mates and checking his condition, 

Vista squinted his eyes and gritting his teeth in order to supress the wounds caused by Kimimaro's two bone blades. 

"I'm fine!" Vista tried to stand up and reassured Jozu, even though Momonga and Kimimaro action took him by surprise, Vista breathe a sigh of relief slightly when he felt that the injury was missing slightly from important organs.

Blood still flowing out slightly from his wound which he attempt to supress it by tightening his muscle. 

Seeing Jozu and Vista regained their footing, Kimimaro patted away some dust from his outfit after Jozu body slammed him. 

Jozu refocused his attention towards Kimimaro who walked slowly. he said, "Don't force yourself, i'll deal with him..." 

"Who is he? i never know there's a marine on this caliber from HQ.." Vista mumbled as he glared toward Kimimaro and occasionally Momonga. 

Instead of answering Vista's question, Jozu cracked his knuckle and neck as his body fully turned into diamond, he began to walk closer towards Kimimaro to fight.

Vista shook his head as he turned towards Momonga who had been ready to fight another round. 

Kimimaro still with gentle smile squinted his eyes as he saw a huge diamond man approaching. 

"Diamond Jozu, 662 Million Bellies. I wonder how much i can get if i sell your diamond body?" Asked Kimimaro nonchalantly. 

Before Jozu reacted, Kimimaro vanished from his spot suddenly!

A fist imbued with Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki appeared on Jozu line of vision! Without any fanciful moves, Jozu raised both of his diamond hands in boxing stance to defend himself. 

*Boom! 

A huge shockwave appeared when Kimimaro's powerful fist blocked by Jozu's hands! 

Kimimaro raised one of his eyebrow as he saw Jozu didn't even budge when he punched him. 

Behind the diamond hands, Jozu expression was calm with a tinge of coldness seeping through his eyes. 

rather than pulling back, Kimimaro simply threw another punch towards his opponent, again, again, and again! 

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, no matter how powerful Kimimaro threw his punch, Jozu just stood there like a diamond statue. His sparkling body doesn't even have scratch on it. 

Kimimaro took no time to ponder, utilizing his speed, he circled around Jozu while throwing barrages of punch against the diamond man! 

Shockwave after shockwave blowing away the rainstorm from their battle. until suddenly, 

"Gotcha!" Jozu grinned cruely as he finally gotten a hold of Kimimaro's hand. 

*Woosh...

Jozu pulled Kimimaro forcefully overhead and threw him towards the ship's quarterdeck! 

*WHAM!

"Aaaaaah! CAPTAIN!" Inside quarterdeck, Tiana and the others were startled as Kimimaro suddenly broken through the wall. 

not minding his failure, Kimimaro stood back as he contemplated. 

His powerful attack seemingly doesn't do anything to Jozu as the diamond man simply stood still as he gotten barrages of punch. 

"Mass density huh?" Kimimaro mumbled slightly. 

True to his ability, Jozu ability to transform into diamond gave him an incredible defense and mass, Jozu was so heavy that his body could neutralize Kimimaro's impact momentum due to his sheer body mass thanks to the diamond density, it was all simple physics.

Jozu could stand all day and he would not move from his spot easily even with Kimimaro powerful assault. 

there were several ways to make Jozu move and defeat him, but Kimimaro need some space to do it and clearly the ship's deck limited space couldn't satisfy his need. 

Taking a deep breath, Kimimaro glanced towards Tiana and his crews inside the quarter deck, then he put his attention towards the Whitebeard's ship which attached securely to his own ship, and finally he put back his attention towards Jozu below. 

"Tiana." Called Kimimaro, 

Tiana immediately stood ready for any command. 

"sir!" 

"...Escort Vegapunk and the boys to Whitebeard ship, we need to abandon this ship. Jozu is too troublesome to deal with right now. go tell Daigin my order." Said Kimimaro.

"But sir..." Before Tiana could argue, Kimimaro raised his hand which by now had a mass of protruding bones out of it.

"Do it, i'll deal with Jozu and Vista while you evacuate, clear out the remaining pirate crews on their ship and set sails immediately." 

Without waiting for reply, Kimimaro used Soru(shave) and vanished from the spot. 

Seeing her commander had already left, Tiana began to shout commands while she cleared up her table and taking every important documents and maps from there. 

Meanwhilre, Jozu kept his attention toward Kimimaro who stood at the quarterdeck's hole and seemingly gave out a commands before he vanished. 

Jozu immediately heightened his attention when he saw Kimimaro vanish from the earlier spot. 

Suddenly, his senses gave out warning from overhead, he throw his head back and saw Kimimaro now floating above him while stretching out his hand below. 

"Hmm!" Jozu grunted when he saw his enemy growing several sharp arm bones below, immediately Jozu put his hands above thinking that Kimimaro might wanted to use his ability against him. 

Seeing Jozu reaction, Kimimaro chuckled slightly as he immediatly spreading his bones to Jozu's surrounding, aiming at the floor! 

Seeing the bone spears actually doesn't aiming at him, Jozu wonders on what the enemy wanted to do. Does putting a cage around him would make Jozu helpless? Of course not, his ability could destroy Kimimaro's bone even when his Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki was weaker. 

*BOOM!
