"Breath of Water, Third Form:Dance of the Swift Current."
Giyuu swings his blade at Akaza in a way that mimics the movement of waves on the surface of water. Akaza smiled as he looked at the water pillar in front of him.
"The water pillar? It's been around fifty years since i ran into someone good. Destructive Kill:War Style!!!"
Punching in front of him, Akaza creates large shock waves that fly forward. Seeing this, Giyuu already planned for how to defend himself.
"Breath of Water, Eleventh Form:Lull."
Giyuu ceases any body movements and enters a state of complete defence, deflecting and blocking any incoming attacks with imperceptible speed. However, Akaza merely smiles in excitement as he was enjoying this fight.
"I've never seen that form before. The last water pillar I killed never used that!"
"Dance of the Fire God:Scorching Crimson Mirror!!!!"
Tanjiro unleashes two horizontal slashes at the demon in front of him. However, his eyes widened when he didn't feel his sword make contact. When he turned around, Akaza was behind him and was about to strike Tanjiro's head.
"Dance of the Fire God:Parhe-"
Before Akaza could hit Tanjiro, the Upper Moon was suddenly punched through several walls. As Tanjiro looked at the person who hit Akaza, all he saw was a muscular man wearing a bird mask.
"That was for killing the flame pillar. Though don't think i'll let you off the hook. I'm gonna make you feel three times the pain you made Yozora feel when you killed the flame pillar. COME AT ME, UPPER MOON THREE!!!"
Akaza soon stood up as he looked at the person who punched him. Soon he charged forward and throws a barrage of punches. Seeing this, Rappa also unleashed a barrage of punches. As their fists collided with each other, both Akaza and Rappa were smiling ear to ear.
"Any normal human would've lost an arm if they tried to block my punches. Your name, what's your name?!"
"Kendo Rappa, remember that name. Because its the name of the man who'll send you to hell!!!!!"
Rappa suddenly sweeps Akaza by his legs and drove his fist through the demon's torso. Akaza coughed up blood and kicks Rappa away from him. However as he did this, Tanjiro and Giyuu used this oppurtunity to strike.
"Dance of the Fire God:Fire Chariot!!!!"
"Breath of Water, First Form:Water Surface Slash!!!!!"
As Tanjiro leaps behind Akaza, he spins in the air while releasing a flaming attack in a circular motion which resulted in Akaza losing his right arm. Afterwards, Giyuu generates enough momentum to create a powerful single concentrated slash, resulting in Akaza's chest being cut open.
"Amazing.....all of you have remarkable strength. Now then, its time to cut loose."
Akaza quickly regenerated his body as he charged towards Tanjiro. Seeing this, Tanjiro lunged forth to attack the demon. When Tanjiro got close enough, he jumped over Akaza and landed behind him. Soon he swung his blade at Akaza's leg.
"Dance of the Fire God:Flame Wa-"
"Destructive Kill, Leg Form:Cap Tip Slice!"
Akaza performed a reverse, rising axe kick to strike the demon slayer behind him. Seeing this, Tanjiro used his blade to try to block the attack. While he managed to block most of the attack, he was still grazed by it. Soon he felt blood rushing out of his nose.
"This much power despite being just a scrape."
Giyuu quickly charged at the upper moon as he swung his blade to counter each of Akaza's punches. The demon smiled as he admired Giyuu's swordsmanship.
"Elegant! Your finely crafted swordsmanship is just beautiful! Give me your name! I want to remember you."
"I will not give my name to a demon. Names are not to be shared. I hate speaking, so don't talk to me."
"So you hate talking, okay then. But i love talking, so i'll ask you again and again. Tell me your name!"
Akaza soon tries to kick Giyuu, but the pillar used the hilt of his sword to block the attack. However, Akaza simply smiled as he knew this would happen.
"Destructive Kill, Leg Form:Flowing Light Flash!!!!"
Akaza launched multiple, rapid straight kicks that each produce powerful shockwaves. When his attack connected with Giyuu, the water pillar was sent crashing through several walls.
"Giyuu-san!!!!!!"
"Oh, so his name is Giyuu?"
Akaza suddenly appeared before Tanjiro. Soon the two fighters prepared themselves for their next attack.
"Dance of the Fire God:Bone Burning Sun!!!!"
"Destructive Kill:Dual Layered Demon Wick!!!!"
Akaza punches rapidly with both arms at once, each producing powerful shockwaves. Seeing this, Tanjiro performed a circular slash to defend himself from the frontal attack.
As Tanjiro was pushed back, Rappa charged forward and unleashed a barrage of punches. Akaza soon copied the same action as both him and Rappa traded punches at incredible speed. Soon they both jumped back with both of their hands dripping with blood.
"Kendo Rappa, you're not a demon hunter yet your strength is astonishing. I can tell, you're just like me. You love to fight strong people with everything that you have. But i must ask, why did you mention Kyojuro?"
"Bastard. You and i couldn't be more different. Death doesn't just affect the person who died, it also affects the people the deceased care for. Your action had consequences, yet here you are with a shit eating grin. The brat...........no, the man that beat me can't waste his time on you, so i'll do him a favor by kicking your ass!!!!"
Akaza looked at Rappa for a moment. He could tell that Rappa had a deep respect for the individual that he's fighting for. Soon Akaza laughed as he charged at him.
"I see, but with no blade and no breath style....what can you possibly do, Rappa!!!!!!"
Suddenly, Akaza was in front of Rappa. Soon the demon lands a hard punch on Rappa's face. As this happened, Rappa coughed up blood as he thought to himself.
"What can I do?"
~Flashback~
"Listen Rappa, you have great strength and speed. In fact, its almost down right scary how strong you are. However, this training i have for you will be difficult. While your punches are strong and fast, they're wild and sometimes just waste energy."
Rappa and Yozora were in the yard of Yozora's home as Rappa was undergoing Yozora's pillar training. Soon Yozora gave Rappa some advice.
"If you can somehow focus that speed and power and learn to control it instead of letting your attacks fall all over the place, then perhaps you can make your own fighting style."
"Bra-..........Yozora. That style you use, you know, the one that's sort of like the Breath of Water. What's it called?"
"Shigure Soen Ryu. Though its a bit unorthodox. Hell, i only managed to use it because i saw someone else us-"
Suddenly Yozora had a great idea. He stood beside Rappa and took a deep breath. Soon he looked towards Rappa, as he told him this idea.
"Rappa, i'll show you the body movements used for Shigure Soen Ryu. After that, Kurome will show you the body movements for Breath of Water. If you can somehow incorporate those movements with your strength and speed, you'll be unstoppable."
~Flashback ends~
"What can i do, that's simple Akaza."
As soon as Akaza's fist made contact with Rappa's face, Akaza suddenly felt himself get struck in the face with incredible speed and power.
Soon Akaza looked at Rappa. As he did, he noticed that Rappa's arms moved in a way similar to flowing water. As Rappa took a stance, he answered Akaza's question with four words.
"I can kill you."
