a  shriek  of  muffled  pain,  mixed  with  a  groan  so  loud  probably  anyone  who  passed  close  by  could  hear  it.  his  teeth  clenched  hard  enough  just  to  dull  the  pain  of  the  sacred  blade  that  like  a  soup  spoon  stirred  in  his  gut.  it  burned  his  skin,  the  steam  coming  from  the  wound  and  hissing  at  both  of  them.  damn  hunters  and  their  toys.  he's  going  to  make  this  blonde  bitch  suffer  for  this,  later.  now,  at  least  he  had  any  use  of  the  moss-knight  fighting  for  his  weeping  princess  somewhere.  at  every  twist  of  the  blade,  ace  let  out  another  pained  sound,  all  until  zoro  finally  decided  to  remove  them.  giving  him  the  moment  to  cover  the  wound  with  large  palms,  too  bad  because  he  even  liked  that  meatsuit,  and  now  for  that  it  was  damaged.  

❝  obviously  i'm  jumpin'  from  happiness  you  mortal  chewtoy.  ❞  ace  spat  back,  tilting  his  hand  to  see  its  entire  surface  covered  in  oozing  blood.  healing  a  cut  with  a  holy  blade  is  hard  indeed,  and  he  hoped  he  would  still  have  time  after  this  circus  for  a  night  at  the  poker  table.  he  grabbed  the  chair,  sitting  down  to  press  his  hands  back  to  the  wound,  breathing  a  little  heavier.  those  swords  were  no  joke,  but  zoro  had  learned  a  lot  since  losing  his  eye.  a  scar  that  ace  liked  to  watch,  it  brought  him  memories,  beautiful  but  somewhat  bloody  moments.  

❝  two  more,  actually.  someone  is  killin'  my  clients,  and  that  is  not  to  my  likin'.  just  like  they  killed  her,  well.  she  was  also  my  client  after  all.  ❞  the  stupid,  shit  -  eating  smirk  appeared  on  ace's  face.  not  exactly  kuina  but  her  father  who  was  just  as  desperate,  exactly  like  all  people  looking  for  that  one  wish  for  which  they  can  give  up  everything.  his  head  tilted  to  the  side,  eyebrows  raising.  ❝  oh  y'didn't  know  ?  her  daddy  was,  to  be  more  precise.  she  got  caught  up  under  their  feet  so  they  took  down  both  him  and  her.  nothin'  surprisin'  for  demons  to  lose  the  precious  temper,  eh  ?  ❞

"Can't say I'm surprised," Zoro says, almost teasing. As Ace spits out such venom, Zoro starts to push the blade just a little bit deeper. Only by a few millimeters, as he knows the holy blade alone would be enough to burn. One, then two seconds of dealing immense pain to the other, Zoro finally pulls himself away, along with the blades that once pressed into the demon's skin. He flicks away the blood that lingered on it. Hopefully now, Ace would get the message. He doesn't need her name sullied by a demon.

"That was just a warning." He wasn't the same swordsman that faced him back then. While his eye lost to the demon, he had more of an incentive to train harder to win. His grip on the swords tighten, as he knows he shouldn't be trying to piss him off.

With a sigh, he does his best to release the tension building up in his shoulders. This encounter was really starting to get to him... as if it wasn't already given his initial reasons for hunting him down. "They're out of you. Happy?" His swords are now lowered at his side. One step, two steps, now three steps away from the other. "Tell me more about these demons. So there was more than one that attacked her then."
