Serious: Haru Nenji's Duels Chapter 4: Journey at Jaya AND Luke Grantz's Investigations Chapter 1: What happened in Skypiea?

Miyu gasped.
What was going on here? She thought she was the only one with that power.
If he himself was smoke, then she couldn't attack him with it.
But at least he didn't seem to be too experienced using it.
She drew the smoke back to her arms. What the man was doing looked a little like punch.
"White vine!"
She dodged it by simpla catapulting herself into the air.
If the smoke ouldn't harm him, then she'd have to.... what exactly? It was the only thing she could do.

The man then suddenly made smoke and filled the room with it. Then suddenly he was about to punch Miyu but Luke blocked it. Are you all right?

"Yes, thank you..."
She knew he wasn't Haru. Her brain told her he wasn't.
Still, she had trouble keeping her distance.
"I seem to be in a bit of trouble... We have a smoke and a wind user here. With my powers, we have a handicap. I can't hit either."

Hayato was yawning loudly as he watched the match. His eyes narrowing as he followed the movements of the fights , "Why don't they just get the two to aim at each other? Wind will suck up that smoke forcing them to have to stop using their powers then you can strike em." of course they couldn't hear him from where he was./ THe doctor sat up and continued watching

Luke has thought of Hayato's strategy even before the match started but he seemed to like the challenge. Miyu you also fill the arena with smoke. now!

Miyu wondered what good it would do, but if he wanted her to do it so bad, why not?
SHe turned her arms into smoke. The arena was filled with it after bare seconds.

Luke then dashed through the smoke and had done something to the 2 opponents. The smoke cleared and it showed that Luke was handcuffed to the wind man and the smoke man's legs were chained to the ground. Luke then spoke Even if the wind man uses his powers to try to blow me away he will come too and of course if the smoke man try to ambush you. He will just stay in that position so target him always.

Miyu looked at the men and sighed. Just one last try.
She had to make one last try, no matter how hopeless it seemed.
"Please, you guys... Just give up now, okay?"
She knew they wouldn't. Smoke started forming at her feet.

Luke just laughed. and you call yourself a pirate? inexcusable. . Luke grabbed Haru's Master Lyneen Sword and pulled the wind man into him. The wind man tried to blow him away but he was handcuffed to Luke so it is no use. Luke then gave the wind man a powerful slash. It is your turn Miyu. Show me what you got

Miyu flinched when the man was pulled into the sword, but she had no time to waste. She looked around and saw a pipe lying on the ground. Just what she needed.
"White launcher!"
The man didn't even known what hit him when he was already old cold, a thin line of blood running from his forhead where the pipe had hit hit.
Miyu turned to Luke. Talking like that, it was completely clear he couldn't be Haru.
"For your information, I never wanted to be a pirate! And being a pirate doesn't mean yo're a bloodthirsty, cruel being either! We're not all like that!"
She was a little angry.
"And most importantly, don't you use Harus face to say such things to me!"

Luke laughed sarcastically. Oh come on "Miyu-chan". There is nothing to be mad about . Luke then kissed Miyu's forehead and walked away.

The announcer then spoke. Looks like we got some powerful fighters here! Next, round 2! READY? Fight! . Suddenly a lady came out who is a flame user. Then next a man who was an ice user. There is the enemy, "Miyu-chan"

Miyu ignored him. She was pouting.
Not only wouldn't he change back into his own body, he had also kissed her forhead. Not that she minded that much, but she had some standards to uphold.
Instead, she made another half hearted try to convince the opponents.
"Okay, give up, please."
She knew they wouldn't. That's why she increased the grib on her pipe and started turning her legs into smoke again. She aimed for the girl.
"White launcher!"

The girl then spoke. Ooh, too furious we see? Flame Explosion! . The battlefield was covered with flames. Luke then wasted no time and tried to ambush the girl but the boy blocked him with an ice sword. That's not nice attacking a girl

"Only mean people hit girls."
And she had figured Luke didn't really fit into the category "super nice guys". It reminded her of someone, but she couldn't tell who. She shook the feeling off and instead, since the man seemed to be occupied, went for attacking him.
She jumped towards him from behind and aimed for the back at his head with the pipe.
In the back of her mind, she was a little shocked how fast she got used to fighting with it. And how fast she had gotten used to fighting at all.

Then from out of nowhere the girl then grabbed Miyu's arm. Where do you think you're going? . The girl then punched Miyu at the face. Luke then shouted Miyu! He was about to go to Miyu when he was blocked by the guy. I'm your opponent remember?

Miyus head flew back.
She was so surprised, she didn't even have the time to really feel the pain. No one had ever really hit her in the face like that before.
She freed her arm from the girls grab and stumbled backwards, hoding her hand to the spot where the girls fist had connected with her face.
She could feel tears rushing to her eyes.
She grabbed the pipe, which she had let go of, and ran towards the girl. It was most unusual for her to actually try and use force, but somehow, she couldn't tell why, it became more and more normal.
She aimed for her face with the pipe, but stopped mere centimeters before it and hit her in the stomach as hard as she could with her other fist.
And she wasn't a weak girl.

The girl then was down to her knees. That was not nice! Flame Fist! Flame then surrounded the girl's fist. She then aimed at Miyu's head with all her force.

Luke and the guy battled equally with their swords. You're good. But not good enough! Ice Sword! . Suddenly the guy made two ice swords and tried to slash Luke but he managed to dodge. that was a close one. well let's see what Haru can do! . Luke grabbed the sword basket and threw all the swords

Miyu could feel the heat of the flames on her face.
For a second, she thought that was it, but her body seemed to react on its own.
"White vine!"
Her legs turned into smoke and suddenly, she was high above the battlefield.
The problem was that she wasn't so sure about what to do now.
Then it hit her that she could easily use this situation for an attack.She turned her legs back to normal and let herself fall towards the ground.
With the speed she gathered, if she hit the girl, it'd hurt.
She aimed for the girls head with the pipe.

Then the two seemed like they were waiting for chances like this. The ice man then punched the ground and ice grabbed Luke's legs. He was not able to move. Then he jumped beside the flame girl. Let us go and use that attack! . Then they both raised their hands and aimed at Miyu. Ice and Flame Cannon!

Luke knew he must do something so that he can help Miyu. Suddenly he became a Vic e Admiral, grabbed a sword and threw it at the ice user. It hits the ice user and was not able to fire an ice beam. That is the only thing I can do Miyu!

Miyu saw the attack coming, and even thought the man wouldn't be able to fire, the girl was still going to attack. In such situations, she was thankful she had the means to dodge.
"White launcher!"
She hadn't aimed for the girl, that would have been suicide. Instead, she used it to change course. She was racing towards the man, who was distracted by the hit. In a seconds time, she was there and hit him on the head with all her strenght. Having a weapon, even though it was only a pipe, really was useful.

The man was starting to collapse when. Ice Beam..... He fired a beam and it hits Luke. Luke then transformed back into his original form and the girl took the chance and kicked him. Luke flew into the wall

"Ha... Luke!"
It was a reflex that she wanted to call him Haru. She didn't know why, somehow it always seemed to be Haru who got into trouble.
She ran towards him, turning her back to the girl.
"Luke! Are you okay?"

Luke then stood up but held his back on the wall. Yes I am fine. But looks like. Its a one on one fight.... You can do it. Go.

The flame user then spoke. aww.. haw sad? But I don't care! Flame Beam! . And the flame user fired a beam towards Luke.

Miyu didn't waste time thinking.
"White launcher!"
The girl had been focused on attacking Luke, she didn't have time to dodge.
Miyu hit her in the gut, forcing her to lose balance. The beam, of course, changed direction with her fist and shot a hole into the roof.
Some burning pieces of wood fell down.
Miyu got back to her feet and picked the pipe back up.
She hadn't expected it to work that well. Maybe she had some talent as a fighter after all. She shuddered. Talent as a fighter... That was the last thing she wanted.

The girl ran and touched the pipe. Suddenly it became so hot. Still gonna hold that pipe? . She then aimed a kick to Miyu.
