Chapter 6 - 6: Claus vs. Sakaki

Claus and Sakaki let out their battle cries and ran towards each other with great momentum and speed. Leaving the ground they were standing at destroyed!

Boom!...Boom!...

Sakaki threw a first straight powerful punch aiming for Claus's solar plexus.

woosh!...

Claus wrapped around the arm that was thrown with his right leg and used it's momentum to lead it while using the turn to use his other leg to follow up with a kick towards Sakaki's face.

Wish!!!..

Sakaki without even looking blocked the incoming left leg with his left arm, but Claus was expecting that and used that arm as a point to bring the other leg that was wrapped around the punch thrown under his knees towards Sakaki's neck.

Sakaki knowing what Claus was trying to do ducked his head and used his right leg as a lead and leaned on it, shifting his weight wrapping around view on Claus's blindspot. But How could he know that the blindspot he saw, doesn't exist for Claus, due to his Observation Haki. Back towards Sakaki who went and thrown quick rapid punches.

Fwoosh!...Fwoosh!...Fwoosh!...Fwoosh!...Fwoosh!...Fwoosh!...Fwoosh!...Fwoosh!...

Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...Ba!...

It looked like blurs, multiple fists in fact, but before it can even touch Claus it was blocked by the same speedy rapid opened palms of Claus who received it gently not letting it hurt his palms. Don't think they just stood there No! They were moving at extreme speed Looking like a quick blur to the untrained eyes but towards the other masters who was watching it was a showdown between two masters of the same caliber exchanging masterful techniques or you could say experience.

Sakaki felt that his punches were hitting the air. Kensei Ma's eyes were widened by this seeing a Chinese martial arts technique.

"First a Muay Thai...Now Kung Fu. What an interesting young man." Akisame said witnessing the quick exchanges between Sakaki and an Unknown master.

"Indeed he is." Hayato also added. Just smiled seeing those two fightings.

Miu was shocked that this mysterious young man no older than her by a few years already going toe to toe with a master of Sakaki's caliber.

Shigure was just silent with a little shock expression but she quickly went back to her silent self, while Tochumaru was Cheering like a fan.

Sakaki jumped back a few steps away from Claus creating space.

Tap...Tap...Tap...

He smiled enjoying the fight so far. "Haha, Kid No Claus you've earned my respect," Sakaki said while lowering his center of gravity the ground beneath his feet started to crack. He pulled back his right fist like a cocked gun readying to fire.

Claus opened his eyes and used his eyes to copy what Sakaki was going to do, so he did the same and the ground underneath him also cracked.

The masters who saw this was shocked this was Sakaki's technique but he just easily copied it without any flaws. Miu looked confused at what's gotten into them and asked Akisame. "Why are you all shocked Akisame?"

"Well, Miu not only is he able to go against Sakaki on the equal ground he is copying Sakaki's technique and it looks the same but he's integrating it into his style," Akisame said then he looked towards Hayato, "Hayato-san who is this young man that you brought back?" he asked.

The others hearing Akisame's question looked towards Hayato who laughed, "Hoho, I brought this young man from..." They all looked towards Hayato with Intense curious faces, but the answer they got was "The front gate!" They all fell hearing this.

"Moo, Bad Grandpa!" Miu puffed up her cheeks and looked away towards the fight.

"Hahaha, but it's true." Hayato laughed at how he got them. "Who and where indeed." He asked himself inside his head.

Back to the fight...

Sakaki released his cocked fist with the speed that caused friction with the air generating flames around his fist.

Swoosh!!!...

Swoosh!!!...

While Claus smiled and did the same. Everyone was watching intensely at the spar or you could say it was more of a battle.

Sakaki's fist reached Claus first and was going to hit him square on, but Claus was waiting for that! Forcefully canceling the technique he used a karate move full body counter. Where his hands are parallel to each other to his stomach in a ready stance. So using Sakaki's technique he copied. He used it as a defense instead of offense.

Pa!...

Claus's left hand guided Sakaki's firey fist and parried it down away towards him on his left side while he used his other hand to use the same move that Sakaki just used.

Swoosh!...

"You forgot I use Karate!" Sakaki said. He kicked towards Claus's head with his right leg!

Vwooo!!!...

Claus calculating that his fist wouldn't make it in time quickly ducked down!

Fwoosh!...

Whereas Sakaki's left kicked just went over Claus's head. Claus close to the floor took this chance to do a leg sweep on the leg Sakaki was standing on.

Shhhwooo!...

But who was Sakaki? To fall towards that easily? Then he wouldn't be a master, so he jumped up with that one leg and spanned in mid-air then dropped kicked Claus.

Claus not being able to connect his leg sweep rolled and used his hands as support while he brought his legs up and kicked towards Sakaki rapidly like Chun Li's kicks. Sakaki who was still in mid-air used his dropkick to block the first Claus's rapid kick and used it as a rebound to stay in mid-air!

Ba!...Boom!...Ba!...Boom!...Ba!...Boom!...Ba!...Boom!...Ba!...Boom!...Ba!...Boom!...

They were going kicks for kicks! It was Intense! Sometimes Claus was on the defense than he returned to attack, while Sakaki did the same. The people who were watching could feel the air blow towards them it was like they were next to a mini-tornado. The temperature of the air started raising too, because of the friction their fists and legs caused against the air. The ground was rapidly being destroyed! It was crazy!

Miu seeing this wanted to say something but her grandpa beat her to it. Hayato disappeared and appeared between Claus and Sakaki one hand blocking Sakaki's kick while the other blocking Claus's.

"Why don't we say we stop right here and call it a draw. Before you boys destroy the whole place," Hayato said.
