2nd Rankyaku: Voice

[toysrusreject]

I've heard that there are quite a number of swordsmen around here. I'm sure there must be a few of you who wouldn't mind some practice against a fellow swordsman, right?

[Silence.]

Ah. That's right. Didn't you want to fight as well, Straw Hat?

Comments

[ahappylie]

That would depend on what the practice entails, I suppose.

[toysrusreject]

A spar would probably be the best description.

[ahappylie]

What sort of swordsmanship do you practice? I'm of the Tennen Rishin style.

[toysrusreject]

Ah. I practice the Yountou-Ryuu style.

[ahappylie]

Yontou-Ryuu? That's one I don't think I've heard of.

[toysrusreject]

It means that I use four swords. How about your style? I'm not sure if I'm familiar with it.

[ahappylie]

That...might be why. I've never seen someone use four swords! That's quite an accomplishment. Tennen Rishin won't sound nearly as interesting compared to what you do.

[toysrusreject]

It's a little more complicated than you'd think. I'm still curious about your own style, though.

[ahappylie]

Perhaps we should spar then? I would suggest finding some sort of armor though - wouldn't want to harm each other, now would we?

[toysrusreject]

Seems like the best way, doesn't it?

You can get some if you want. I don't need it.

[ahappylie]

Yes, it does. Although...I do insist you at least get something. I dislike sparring people who aren't properly protected.

[toysrusreject]

You can trust me when I say that my body is enough protection.

[ahappylie]

If you insist then.

Where should I meet you?

[toysrusreject]

Do the barracks sound fine to you?

[ahappylie]

That sounds fine to me. I was already on my way there for practice.

[toysrusreject]

I'll be there before you know it.
