Enter the Arena... As Your Avatar (v4)!

-counters with Maragidyne-

-Grins at the unexpected trip and lets go of the whip, retracting his arms-

-As he does this, he dashes forward and jumps into the air above Balrog-

Gum Gum...

-Minato is badly burnt, and his pants are now on fire-

-puts out the fire with his hands and casts Tarunda on Adachi-

(not enough time to get back up)

(swings the blade blindly, hoping to smack Luffy out of the way)

-nothing doing-

-Luffy kicks down rapidly and repeatedly at Balrog's back, like his punched before, but in kick form-

Stamp Gatling!!!

(well, that's embarrassing)

(gets stomped into the ground a bit)

(tries to simply throw Luffy off his back in response)

-in response, Adachi casts Heat Riser on himself before unleashing Vorpal Blade-

-he'd have to have some impressive reach to be able to grab Luffy-

-His rapid fire kicking is managing to keep himself above Balrog-

-Though he does eventually stop and flips off to behind Balrog-

(more like shake him off)

(finally gets up, roaring. Well, he's mad)

-Turns back to Balrog-

You still got fight in you, ya big beast?

-Gestures for him to come at him-

Then bring it!

-Minato suffers a severe cut, which is bleeding at a high rate-

-tries to stop the bleeding with his hand-

I see that you intend to kill me... very well, I will not hold back.

-raises Evoker to his head-

(cracks the whip in the air, roaring)

(feints another whipsnap before charging with a straightforward cleave)

-Sees through the feint and jumps off to the side to avoid the blade-

Hoo! I'm gonna have to get extra serious if I wanna beat you down!

(attempts to swat him aside with another whip strike)

-Braces himself and goes flying over a building, sliding to a stop against the ground-

Hot, hot, hot!

-Magatsu Izanagi lunges at Minato again-

...(slowly advances towards him, taking careful steps to not fall for any feints/traps)

-Magatsu Izanagi is suddenly stopped when he collides with what appears to be a young girl-

-Adachi glares- Bugalabunghheble!

-just speaks in tongues for a few seconds-

-Jumps up to his feet, takes a deep breath, and plants his fist against the ground-

Alright... get ready for something big.

Gear... Second.

-Pushes down on his legs, making them "pump"-

Ah, mister, that wasn't very nice of you...

Adachi, I'm going to have to borrow something from you.

-with the help of Alice, Minato begins spamming Spirit Drain-

(stops for a moment, evaluating if this new mode can be of any threat to him)

...(picks up the pace, dashing towards and this time keeping his posture standing as he goes to deliver a devastating sword blow)

-Steam rises off Luffy's body as his legs pump back into place-

-Looks up at Balrog approaching-

-Just as the blade is about to descend on him... he disappears, leaving behind a cloud of steam-

(confusion)

(quickly swings the blade in full-circle in case he just got behind him)

-Adachi glares at Alice and says this◊-
