The Black Blade Assassin

Struggle and Pain

Milah on the left, Leo bottom right and Mack top right. Unfortunately, I couldn't get Mack his flowery yukata, but that's the best I could do.

Milah uses daggers, so she's a close-combat and long-distance fighter. Saki smirks. That's fine. Saki uses swords after all. She can slice just about anything. She can't cut sea prism stone, unfortunately, but she doubts any swordsman has yet to accomplish that incredible feat.

Leo was more of a problem. He was hand to hand fighter but he had created impressive techniques that Saki wasn't sure how to counter. Eh, she'll figure it out along the way. Hopefully. Apparently, he also used pistols now, as they were in holsters on his waist. That's ok. So long as Saki is fast enough (which isn't a problem) she can easily slice any bullets incoming in half.

Saki unsheathes Phantom and her Norowareta Ha, quickly knocking one of Milah's daggers away. Saki doesn't bother checking where it went.

She should've.

'Duck!!'

Saki simply moves her head to the side as the dagger whooshes straight past her ear.

'Thanks, Nyx.'

Milah smirks as a tiny cut starts to bleed on Saki's cheek.

The crowd 'ooh's.

Saki chuckles, humourlessly. "So, that's what you've been up to. Devil Fruit, eh?"

"The Redirect Redirect Fruit," Milah confirms, an arrogant smirk plastered on her face. "I can redirect anything so long as I touch it. I threw the dagger and purposely missed but at my command, I could control where it went."

Usually, Saki was super excited to see new Devil Fruits in action, but this time was different.

"That's a sucky power."

Milah scowls. "You're just jealous."

'Watch Leo. He's acting suspicious.'

'Already on it.'

Saki tilts her head, genuinely confused. "Why would I be jealous? I would drown. I mean, can you even redirect bullets coming at you?"

Milah falters. "I..er..."

Saki laughs. "That's so stupid!!"

'Dodge left.'

Saki internally panicked for a second. 'What way is left??!!!'

Don't worry, she figured it out before she was flattened like a pancake.

Nyx sighs. 'Did you seriously just use your pointer fingers and thumbs to remember which way is left?'

'Of course, I did!!! Left are right are confusing!!!'

A small crater was now where she just was, Leo standing in the middle of it, having caused the damage. He smirks. "Why'd you hesitate in dodging?"

Saki huffs and ignores him. Seriously, why do people talk so much and monologue on and on? Most people are just that stupid that they tell Saki their techniques! How dumb are they?

Milah whips out 3 kunai and 3 daggers, throwing them in random directions.

Saki doesn't move, eyes tracking each one with Nyx's and Phantom's help.

'Duck and roll!'

'Jump immediately after!!'

Saki does so, avoiding three daggers and then dodges right, missing one kunai. She knocks the other two kunai harshly to the ground with her swords.
