Ganzui raised his massive shield. The elephantine lower half of his body stomped heavily against the ground.
Mikita cracked her knuckles. "You're an interesting zombie," she said coolly. "Your lower body, it's that of an elephant," she added.
Ganzui's tusk-like grin widened. He leveled his sword at her. "I have not faced you before but I will take you and your shadow," he said.
"My shadow? No, you won't," Mikita shot back. She snapped her leg forward. "Storm Leg," she said as she kicked and unleashed a compressed blade of wind that screamed through the air. Ganzui braced and raised his shield. The strike slammed into it with a sharp crack, forcing him back a few steps. A thin fracture spread across the shield's surface.
"Your shadow will be mine," Ganzui growled. He stomped forward and the ground trembled beneath his elephant legs. "Stampede Breaker," he said as he charged. He raised his sword high, and brought it crashing down.
Mikita leapt into the air and narrowly avoided the crushing blow. She saw the ground breaking with the strike. There was some dust kicking in the air "Gravity Stomp," she shouted as her body suddenly became impossibly heavy. She plummeted downward like a boulder and her foot slammed into Ganzui's shoulder. The impact sent a shockwave rippling through the ground. There were cracks spiderwebbing across the stone floor.
Ganzui staggered but recovered with startling speed. His eyes gleamed. "Ivory Fang Slash," he said as he drove his blade upward in a tusk-like arc.
Mikita's eyes widened. She thought he recovered fast. She hardened her body instantly. "Iron Body," she said as the blade struck her mid-air. The force slammed her down into the ground. A dust cloud erupted around her as she hit. She coughed and spat her spit. She thought that hurt.
Ganzui loomed above her. He raised his sword with both hands. "Mammoth Crusher," he said as a massive blade came down.
Mikita rolled aside just in time. The strike split the ground where she had been. She sprang to her feet. "Meteor Strike," she said as she launched herself skyward. Her body became a gravity-defying projectile. She descended with terrifying speed and slammed into Ganzui's face.
The zombie reeled as his head snapped back from the impact. There was blood spraying but instead of falling, Ganzui smiled as he swung his blade in a wide arc.
Mikita leapt back however Ganzui followed up with his shield and slammed into her midsection. The blow sent her flying across the hall. She crashed onto her back.
Mikita groaned as she got up. She clenched her fist. "You don't feel pain, do you?" she asked.
Ganzui's grin widened. "Pain is for the living," he said.
Mikita thought this was tricky. She thought these attacks would have at least drawn blood and slowed them down. She smiled.
"Mass Shift," Mikita said as her blood surged like fire through her veins. Her muscles swelled unnaturally. Her forearms bulged before snapping back, her thighs expanded and shrunk again as her body adjusted.
"Trunk Whip Strike," Ganzui said as he swung his sword in a wide spiraling arc that cut through the air.
Mikita leapt aside. The blade missed her by inches. Ganzui followed instantly and his massive fist swung forward like a hammer.
Mikita landed lightly on his knuckles. She used the momentum to sprint up his arm toward his face. Her eyes blazed. "Poundage Strike," she said as her fist swelled with an impossible weight of 100,000 kilograms. She swung with all her might, the air itself screaming as the blow descended.
Ganzui braced as he raised his massive shield.
Mikita punched the shield. The impact was cataclysmic. Mikita's weighted punch slammed into the shield, and with a deafening crack, the shield shattered into fragments, shards of steel. They scattered across the ground.
Ganzui slid back as his defense crumbled. "What," Ganzui said. "You broke my shield," he added.
Mikita smiled as she landed on her feet. "There will be more things broken soon," she said. She thought the only way to defeat him was to put a cube of salt into his mouth.
"Dont get too confident," Ganzui said. "Stampede Breaker," Ganzui added as he charged forward. He raised his sword.
"Poundage Kick," Mikita said as she increased the weight in her foot to 100,000 kilograms. She swung her leg in a powerful arc. The sheer force of the kick generated a shockwave, the air rippling as her foot connected with his sword. The sword broke and Mikita kicked Ganzui. Ganzui went flying back and crashed onto a nearby wall.
He got to his feet and wobbled. He looked up into the sky and saw Mikita.
"Poundage Double Drive," Mikita said, increasing her weight to 100,000 kilograms. She came crashing down with both her feet together and struck Ganzui in the stomach. The force was explosive. Ganzui felt his rib cage shatter. His mouth was wide open. At that moment, Mikita tossed a cube of salt into his mouth.
Ganzui swallowed the salt. His massive frame convulsed violently. His muscles seized as his body twisted unnaturally. A thick, black mass oozed from his mouth before erupting into the air. With a guttural roar, his shadow tore free from his body.
Mikita landed on the flor and smiled. She saw his massive body laying on the floor. She th`ought it was tough. "You seemed to be someone strong when you were alive," she commented.
Kalifa and Honey walk towards Mikita. "Are you okay?" Honey asked.
"I am, he was tougher than I thought," Mikita responded as she drank down a Heal Drink.
"These zombies do have strength," Kalifa added as she touched her glasses.
"Did you guys see a purple zombie in a wedding dress?" Franky asked as he came running towards them.
"No," Mikita replied.
"Why?" Honey asked.
"She seemed angry and was shouting my love Absalom and something about not feeling him," Franky responded. "She then ran away," he added.
"Ben must have defeated him," Kalifa replied as she touched her glasses.
"Nami must be saved then," Honey added.
"That is super," he said.
"He is weird," Mikita commented.
