Chapter 557 - The Three of The Four

The Three sisters were all in the arena. They hadn't changed physically but did now hold weapons of some sort. Nanwida held a long Odachi in her hand, but it did not hold a hilt or binding around it. She held it merely by the large tang of the blade. It had the Kanji '制' on it. Leroy did not know what it meant. 

It meant Control 

Tadi wore knuckle dusters made of that same pinkish metal. 

And Sifa held two gun that looked like miniature cannons, and were decorated with metallic accents on them as well. The barrels seemed to be inches in radius 

"So. You want a piece of me too?" Leroy said as he landed a meter or so away from the women. A wary smile on his face. Thoughts to himself ran through his mind 

'Funs over…Gonna have to go all out here…' He tightened his fists while his eyes shot from woman to woman. Looking them all up and down. Sifa was shorter than him. Nanwida an inch or so above. And Tadi about equal to him. Which meant that she had about as reach as he did. Hand to Hand Clearly 

Nans sword gave her nearly 3 meters of extra length from her fully extended arm. 

And Sifas armaments strapped to her gave her versatility. Strength, Precision, Utility. He could their strength at that point. It was a loose feeling. And to them, Leroy seemed to glow faintly, just as he had before 

"Oh. We're gonna put you through your paces alright. See what your really capable first hand!" Nanwida said, flicking her sword to the side. 

Just before she rushed forward, Leroy looked back up at Eliza. Seeing that right now, more than ever she was paying close attention to how he acted 'Guess thats even more reason not to play around!' 

"Hmph!" Nani dashed forward! She was so fast! Almost too fast for Leroy to keep up! It made his mind boggle at such extraordinary speed! She began to swing her Odachi! 

With quick reflexes, and strained muscles, Leroy moved as fast as he could! Bringing a hand up to grip onto Nanwidas hold on the tang and stop it in its tracks while he braces the same hand with his other! 

"I'd say not bad. But I'm honestly disappointed. I figured you'd be able to keep up with at least that speed!" She gave a sturdy bump to the back of her blade, sending Leroy back! 

"Second…Gear!" He erupted with steam as a huge ball slammed into him! It exploded against him in a small smoke screen that filled his head! Causing him to hack and cough roughly! 

Between the assault on his lungs, he saw it! Tadi rushing forward! Leroy breathed deep for a moment, the gas burning his throat as he breathed out hard! Clearing the gas add Raising his arms just as block the straight punch! 

"Erngh! Ow!" Pain wracked his arms. He felt a minor fracture forming! But…How?! That was not painful enough to be forceful to bypass his rubbery body! It was ass if he was a normal person that was hit in just the right way to cause a minor injury! 

Tears stung his eyes from the gas that had only mere moments ago been invading him! 

'Is she wearing sea stone?!' 

"You seem confused. Well. You've got a whole lot more to learn little man!" She did a backflip in the middle of her words! Breaking his guard and allowing for her to land on her hands and deliver a spinning crescent kick! 

It slammed into the side of his ribs! Another bruise and damage to his body?! But there was nothing on her feet! Not even shoes! 

Nanwida came now swiping at him! He moved from side to side quickly! Left! Right! Down! Move! Move Move! But even with gear second- 

The moment he stopped, putting distance between the three. He could feel the sting of cuts on his face. Blood dripping down his arms, hands, cheek and forehead. He had just barely dodged them! And he was moving so fast! 

All of them were moving too fast for him to process! 

With a deep breath and a hard flex to his body he forced the blood to go even faster! Heart pumping hard, and faster! Boosting him to even further beyond! "Full Throttle!" 

"Grah!" He exploded forward! Then Leapt up into the air! His leg going high up into the air! Then, with all the force he could muster, he forced it to inflate! 

"Hngh!" 'I can feel…Myself…..Getting Dizzy! Bloods not moving…Fast enough to keep up with 3rd Gear!' He grit his teeth hard 

'Back when I fought Barbry…I could only do it because of that form…And then all of the adrenaline…It was do or die! But even right now, my body isn't able to put me in such a state!' 

'I wager I can only do these hyper-titanic moves a few times before I'm spent!' 

"Hyper-Titanic! Mortar!" Leroy slung his foot down! 

"Look at that!" Anno screamed finally breaking away from the awe she was seeing, getting back to commentating 

The three sisters all leapt backwards! Leroy could see Sifa aim a gun to fire at him! He couldn't let it make contact with him! Who knew what sort of ammunition she had! 

Sifa was a master chemist. Making concoctions and propellents for her weapons. Primarily using gas as the main medium of delivery! 

Leroy quickly moved out of the way, Leg snapping back into place with enough strength that it caused him to spin in the air! He swiftly readjusted himself and propelled himself back down to then throw a punch full force right at Nanwidas Face! 

She smiled and dodged to the side! It was like clock work! So simple and easy for her to accomplish! "Ajna. Or Observation." 

'What?! He thought to himself. Barely having time to Register as Tadi lammed into him with her fists! Another crack! And then quickly followed up by a three piece! Right into the arm, then left into the rib, then straight into his chest! 

"Shrine. Or Busoshoku!" She said as he was attempting to keep on his feet, but they were speeding up to him so quickly! And they weren't even using any special techniques visually from the looks of it…But…Their bodies were seeming to glow! 

"What is this!?" Anno said "The Sisters seem to be…Glowing!" 

"Hahahah!" A Shout suddenly caught Leroys attention, snapping to sifa who had a wired and crazy look on her face as purple gas filled her nostrils! "Finally! You're putting up a real fight!" 

She leapt forward, doing a summersault before twirling in the air and throwing make shift canisters that exploded all around! More chocking gas that was even harsher than before! Eyes watering as she shot another load that exploded on impact! Leroy quickly dodging only to see that the round was melting into the ground! It was acid?! 

"Kaff Kaff Kaff!" He breathed raggedly, hacking a lung while barely able to dodge and counter against Tadi's assault! "Three Layer Iron Fist!" She slammed a fist into his ribs again, then another and a final third! 

'What is she doing?! She's avoiding my face…They're clearly not going all out!' He thought to himself as he swung fist that 10x as fast as his normal speed but Tadi effortlessly dodged it! 

"Iron Side!" She said, slamming into Leroys side! Causing him to roll across the ground and hack up blood! 

"Serpentine Riptide!" Nanwida gripped with both hands and swung down! The slash of air that came out split into four and molded into Snakes! Barring their fangs and ripping into leroy! Scraping cuts forming across his thigh, stomach, arm and stomach! 

"Gah! Agh…Grah…." He attempted to rush again! But was effortlessly dodged! Another cut into his back by a viper made of air! A Punch to the stomach! A Bullet to the side that exploded and knocked the wind out of him! 

He was quickly loosing any sense of ground… "Hagh…Haff..Haff! Ngh…" 

"Stop!" He screamed loudly! An eruption of energy flew forward in an explosion of Red! Streaks of energy shooting off of Leroy for a Moment! It washed over every person in the Stadium! Some of them falling to their feet, and others loosing consciousness all together! 

As for the Three Sisters, they each literally stopped in their tracks as if the words had power to cease every action! Washing away the glow on their body as Leroy stayed on his hands and knees…Before… 

"He's out…" Nanwida said. Looking to her arm to notice that the bandage around it had began to become undone… 

'What a weird man…During that fight…He attempted to pull it off. But the moment I ripped away and defended it…He stopped…' She wrapped the bandage back tight. 

"The Strange Man has been defeated by the Three Sisters! What an amazing performance by our Leading Ladies!" Anno shouted. But the arena…Was silent. Many of them were knocked out…Or utterly silent at what they had just witnessed. Even in her own voice. Her solve was shaken…Barely able to stay awake… 

"So…You do have Melammu…The Color of The Supreme…a Conquer." Eliza said to herself… "It must truly have been an Ase after all…" 

The Doctors were slow to come out and lift Leroy onto a stretcher. Eliza next to it to give an order "Do not take him back to his cell. I do not think he will be awake for some time. Take him to the Iris's. He should rest up there…"
