Meanwhile, in the stadium, Dess perpared for his big match. He stepped up onto the arena, to notice that Kensai, Shaoken's right hand man, was already waiting for him.
"You're fighting so soon?" Dess batted an eye.
Kensai grinned, resting his sniper rifle on his shoulder.
"You seem like an interesting fighter. I was rather pleased by your fights with Sora and Naraku." Kensai replied.
"And although it'd be fun to fight the Captain or his little blonde friend, my orders are to take care of the one with the highest bounty in the crew. The Angel of Death." Kensai explained, grossely pronouncing Dess's epithet.
As the match begun, the two warrriors exchanged a menacing look. Without a second to waste, Kensai began firing at Dess with extreme precision, aiming for the eyes. However, Dess managed to narrowly dodge each attack, though this made him easy to be caught off guard. Continuing to fire at Dess, Kensai ran around him, hoping to find a blind spot that would help end the match quicker. However, as soon as he found that blind spot, Kensai seemed to have run out of bullets.
"..What?!"
Using this opportunity to strike, Dess used his Angellic wings to fly toward Kensai, and engage in hand-to-hand combat. As Dess punched toward Kensai with a flaming fist, Kensai blocked the attack with the side of his sniper rifle until it was reduced to rubble. With nowhere left to hide, Kensai rolled away from Dess, and seized a pistol from his belt, shooting multiple times at Dess. Although these weren't normal bullets, Dess seemed to be kept in place, as Kensai was using a paintgun. "
What the-?!" Dess tried to move, but was swiftly kicked in the chest by Kensai.
