"No…No no no!" Caldera's vein popped in his forehead in anger as he jumped down from the dome "No! Damn it all! That was not how this was supposed to go!"
"Not some dumb Honorable death bullshit! You barely even fought!" He was furious that Beowulf didnt listen but helped him!
"Someones mad…" Kale grinned as he gave a cheeky smirk
"Furious…." Boos and Jeers filled the air at the disappointment and chagrin of the Spectators. "I guess we're going to have to fast track our fight now…"
"You sure you can handle it little man? You sure youre anger can keep up? Or are you gonna break down and cry…" He egged the First Mate on, only for the man to begin heating up, a wash of hot air flowing through the arena.
"Were doing this. Here and now! And Barbary is gonna have to put up with having a charred corpse instead of something to turn in!"
His arm began to bubble and boil, turning into a glow of orange and black before dripping to the ground. Steam rising from the condensation evaporating. He had become a highly viscous molten rock!
Magma was not fire. It was technically liquid rock. Being far more tangible than the plasmatic form of Flames or Electricity. In a sense, he had the ability to control the earth beneath his feet under specific circumstance
This was the Power of The Magma Magma Fruit. A Logia class that allowed Caldera to Manipulate, Produce, and Turn his physical form into Molten Rock
"Pyroclastic Blast!" Calderas fist began to bubble and pop, growing into a large louse glob of Magma only to suddenly to be manipulated and explode off his limb! Flying forward!
Kale grit his teeth as he leapt to the side! The Magma exploding like a balloon of water! Lava splashing across the tile and causing it to melt, The First Mate zooming across the distance to close in on Caldera!
'I have to be careful, my slices need to be quickl, And I can't stab him or else these blades, even if of higher quality that Sujikiki, won't last long!' Kale thought to himself as he brought both blades down and sliced Calderas arms in three!
The Magma went limp across the ground. It was– Strange, It clearly took more force for the limb to be cut as if he weren't slicing through normal rock but was also fighting against Calderas own Durability reflected supernaturally in his Magma!
But quickly the arm regenerated itself in a bubbling blob that stacked upon itself as if one were slapping clay on top of more before sculpting it
"Not so easy to handle ain't it!?" The hand then began to morph and split down the middle, growing teeth and definition!
"Molten Drake!" A Dragon spewed forward! Connected to Caldera Arm as it wriggled and waved like a serpent through the air! 'Move!' Kale screamed as he jumped, dodging out of the Molten Rocks path, leaping up out of the way and using Senkusha and Kikumori to shoot compressed blades of air towards the Molten Human!
"Daizo-Ho!" One! Two! The Flying Blades Slashed into Caldera as once again landed a distance away.
Calderas Neck was gashed deep but was uninjured physically, small drips of magma trickling between the sideways wedged wound while his other side was cut deep, an enlarged version of his neck 'wound'
Both began to close up slowly. Calderas body resolidifying with a hardy crack of his neck from side to side.
Kale flipped Senkusha in his hand and clasped it in between his Teeth, unsheathing Jager again.
'I feel stronger. Stronger now than when I first clashed with Beowulf. With the weight of Jager in hand, being able to use more of my strength with my third blade, and feeling that I've physically strengthened…I can handle this…'
Kale crossed his arms and slammed them out to his side, Kikumori suddenly glowing, and Jager becoming engulfed in flame.
Quickly with exploding muscles filled with vigor, he sprinted forward at the speed of a bullet to cross the space to clash with Caldera!
"Volcanic Blade!" His hand generated magma and shifted into a four blade weapon, spinning around and flying straight towards Kale! Then another and another! The Red Sash First Mate swiped quick and made quick work out of them!
"Eruption!" Calderas body flexed as the ground began to shake! Pillars of Magma spewing out of the ground in bright orange and dark black molten rock! They tried to engulf Masamune in excruciating heat!
But the Swordsman Slice one! Then another! Bubbles popping and bursting, mere tear drops of Lava splashing against his skin, pain shooting through as the sensation was quick, white hot and sudden!
It was then washed away as the effects of Kikumori began to activate! The Pain washed away as the Fatigue faded into nothing!
An image of a snake suddenly flashed behind Kale! Calderas eyes narrowing and scowling deep! The pipes on his head bubbling with anger!
"Mamushi-Kari!" One strike! Two! His mouth sword passed through a pillar without needing to be moved, Three! Jager was then swung as a giant pillar of magma shot up in front of him!
"Shuirogeki!" The Blaze of the blade strengthened as it sliced through pillar before it could fully grow! But something strange happened on contact–
Where the blade had sliced the pillar clean in two, it had no longer been molten! It looked as if it had solidified! 'Don't tell me…' Kales grin widened as he determined just the true power of Jager!
This blade, this Masterful Blade that would be known in todays terms as a Great Grade blade, not only had the power to engulf in flame, but it nullified flames completely! Absorbing the ambient heat!
"Hrah! Issen-Ho!" Kale used Jager to create a compressed blade of fire to fly through the air! Slicing into Caldera and causing Blood to erupt from the wound!
"Grah!" The Molten Rock around him ceased their movement began nothing more than pools of lava!
