As expected, Ryoichi's simple attempts to break Cortez with a one-two combo did not do much. After all the man Ryoichi is facing is a former champion. Boxing is a simple art with not many techniques. Once a person masters the techniques in the said art, it is time to focus on other aspects. At that point, it turns into a game of speed, reflexes, and power.

This match-up was just that at this very point—the game of speed, reflexes, and power. One tried to best the other. Punches are thrown, punches are dodged, punches are counter, and of course, punches are received. Each movement made brought the sweat out on the skin, and each punch thrown and landed made it fly off onto the ring floor, eventually having the blood mixed in with the sweat.

The match came to a momentary 'halt' as Ryoichi got pushed back against the ropes and had Cortez 'hug' him. In a normal boxing event, this would mean that the opponent would try to stop the fight for a brief moment to regain breath, it can also work as a defense mechanism... Overall it is usually a tactical push.

This time the push was indeed tactical... Tactical push to inject toxicity into Ryoichi's mind by laying out comments about his mother.

As much as this fight is physical, it is also mental, and Ryoichi gave his all not to let this affect him. The 'hug' hold was so strong in fact that even the referee had a hard time trying to separate them. Ryoichi did use it as an opportunity to wiggle himself free a bit and land a hook in the liver and rotate himself out from the robes, around Cortez.

Just as he was about to go for another punch, he had to stop himself. A loud ding of a bell indicated the end of a round, followed by another attempt to mentally twist Ryoichi. Once more, he did what he could to not let it affect him, and simply sit down on the stool where he would be tended to by his team.

"The punches... They should be affecting him..." he huffed out, clearly not out of breath but he did not pull his punches with the first round. He had to finish the fight as fast as he could, or else, the bet is lost.

Ryoichi's punches did not affect Cortez. It had nothing to do with the strength of the fighter, but more so the illegal enhancers that Cortez had leaned on from the underworld market.

As Ryoichi retreated to the corner, the second slid onto the tiny stool, and with minimal damage to work on, Castor assessed the situation at hand.

"Gashi Gashi... He indeed likes to play dirty. His heart. It's beating erratically. His pupils are also dilated. There might be a chance he's juicing." The disguised second theorized.

Slapping Ryoichi on his shoulders, "It doesn't matter though. No matter how powerful those punches might be... Doesn't matter if they never land. Go out there and stick to the plan. We're betting on counters. Timing is everything." Nox concluded.

From there on, the rounds seemed to slip by. It was better much even. Cortez would have the upper hand into the second and third, but as Ryoichi's counters started to land, the man's strength became a double-edged sword.

Even the audience was astonished at the fact a mere rookie from the Blues was holding his weight against a former Paradise Champion.

End of Round Five.

"The challenger seems to be in tip-top condition. Maybe we might get upset?" Betty inquired, clutching onto the announcer's table in immense excitement.

"Slim chance. On points, Cortez is ahead." Luis chimed in. "If this match goes any longer, the cards will swing in the former champs' favor."

"Did you forget... Points mean nothing in this wager. If Cortez cant score his knockout especially since the designated rounds have passed... He'll lose face." Lenny commented grinning.

In the second corner, Cortez tossed away his second and medically staff in a fit of rage. His four-round declaration had become mute, and now, the man was out for blood.

Grappling onto Paco's suit collar, the crazed boxer lifted his manager off the ground. "I need more. Mix those pills into my water. Let me go out there and finish this." Cortez whispered to the manager, whose legs were left dangling in the air.

"Cortez. If I do that your body will-" Paco responded whispering as well, noticing from the corner of his eye they had caught the attention of the referee.

Dropping the manager onto the ground, "I've already lost money. I won't lose my dignity as well! Do as you're told Paco!"Cortez shouted, dropping his body weight onto the second's chair.

"Timing is everything."

Ryoichi repeated after his 'coach'. The ten-second bell rang. Ryoichi's 'coach' put the mouthguard back in his mouth, and removed the stool. The next round is about to begin, and Ryoichi planned to give hell. The strategy is the same as it was before: dodge, and then counter!

And this technique was mainly used by Ryoichi going into round two... And then three... And then all the way into the fourth and even the fifth! To say that this tactic worked at all times is a stretch. As much as one changes tactic, the other can figure it out.

When each round began with Ryoichi trying to dodge and counter as much as he could, most of the time, every round so far ended with the two ending up in a full-out brawl, busting their faces up. Each and every round Ryoichi returned to his corner with his face more bruised up than before, and with his pompadour's gel having lost all integrity to keep the hair up, leaving his hair hanging down.

By the end of the fifth round, the referee had an even harder time separating the two brawling heavyweights.

"Yar punses ain shet!" Ryoichi spat out words through the busted lip and mouthguard-wearing mouth.

Eventually, the two were separated and each was pushed over to their respective corners. The brawl had gotten so bad that by now, Ryoichi's right eye was so busted and swelled up that he could barely even see through it.

"Ther two of hem... Wih one dew I puns?" He talked as much as he could. It was clear that the juiced boxers' attacks were taking a toll on Ryoichi... But it seemed the same were Ryoichi's attacks on Cortez.

The difference in seconds was beginning to show. Castor had no experience patching up wounds or reducing swelling, the limited advice he'd acquired from the book was running its course.

As he'd apply ice to the swelling around Ryoichi's face, the undercover pirate couldn't offer much more advice aside from 'think faster. To him, both of them were incredibly slow, and the match itself frustrated him.

However, to his client's credit, in the later rounds, Nox started to see where his strengths shine. "Look, kid. Isn't much I can tell you at this point aside from watching those punches to the face. Your body's built sturdy, use his attempts at body shots to your advantage." Nox commented.

And with that, round seven commenced. Shortly after the boxer had been summoned to the center of the ring, Castor was tapped on his shoulder by two of the security guards.

Beckoned to deal with some 'admin' issues, the two suits escorted the second out of the arena and into the backstage area. After a few minutes of walking, the trio arrived in a secluded open area beneath the venue.

Nox had picked up from a while back that something was wrong, however, he'd pretty much just wanted to see who was behind this tacky ambush. Suddenly, the two men turned their attention to the second, attempting to subdue him with force.

One man carried a taser, while the other carried a pair of weighted handcuffs. Quickly annihilating the fodder security men, the ground began to swell, inflating similarly to that of a balloon. A loud explosion occurred after the swollen ground popped.

Transforming into his element, the man avoided any damage from the disbursed kinetic energy, and reformed moments after to the laughter of a masked assailant ringing out from the distance.

"Tahahaha... A Logia user. That might be problematic. Mr.Bastion. Mr.Kazuma sends his regards. He'd reach out himself but it's a conflict of interest at the moment." The unknown bomber announced.

"Gashi Gashi... That's an interesting welcoming card. I didn't know the resort owner wanted to greet their guests with unkind methods." Castor grinned, dusting off his gym suit jumper. "To what do I owe Mr.Kazuma this pleasantry?" Nox inquired.

"Doesn't matter. I'm just the guy paid to do the job." The blonde-haired seven-footer announced with a menacing grin. The man was of athletic build with a rabbit logo tattooed onto his fore chest. Black sunglasses, Hawaiian shirt, and slacks, it'd been almost like he was on vacation and the look on his face screamed, 'They called me in while I was enjoying myself.'

"You're not going back to that ring, second. Ryoichi Ayugai is prohibited from winning this fight. Too much is a stake, tahahaa" the assassin declared, chuckling ominously at the end of his sentence.

No answer was given to Ryoichi who needed clear guidance on which one of the multiple images of Cortez to punch, instead, he got the advice that he had already known, even though it is not always possible. It is almost as if things are easier said than done.

But he nodded his head. He was only given water by his second, but the bruises were not mended, not even cut open... Soon enough if he kept on getting punched in his face, he would look like he had visited a wasps nest head first.

The sound of two wooden pads clapping indicated the last ten seconds of the minute-long pause, a proper time to send each corner's fighter back into the fight. As the gong indicated the beginning of the match, Ryoichi went in, and so did Cortez. Round seven had begun.

Being too busy with the fight, Ryoichi hadn't even noticed that his second was gone from his corner. The fight began with Ryoichi going in with a couple of swift but solid combos containing a few swift jabs followed by a left and right hook with the left aimed in the liver area while right into Cortez's ugly face.

But all that Cortez's face did after the solid punch had hit was grin. It was clear the punch did do something, after all, Cortez's head turned, but did he swallow the pain, or did he simply not feel it enough?

"Out of my way, punk!"

A glove dug into Ryoichi's face, with the hand in that said glove, sending Ryoichi back into the ropes, and leading him to drop down on his butt with his back against the ropes. Cortez's 'juices' had begun to take full effect... It was now or never.

"And the challenger is down!" Said Luis, one of the commentators at the side of the ring into the microphone.

"One!" Said the referee as he was counting on his fingers near Ryoichi

"And all it took was one punch. Ayugai truly was gasping the final air with this round." Said Betty, the second commentator.

"Two!" The referee counted while Ryoichi was still sitting down, head bowed down... But still breathing.

"And the challenger second is also gone, talk about bad luck and loss." said Luis once more

"Three!" The third finger was up followed by the shout. At this point, an arm could be seen moving up and to the side, leaning against the ropes.

"Did you see how it only took that one solid punch? Perhaps the rumors spreading around were true, the rookie challenger was way over his head?"

"Four!" Ryoichi's shaking legs began to move and his arm of his began to support him in trying to start helping him up.

"Or a foul play..." Finally the third and last commentator named Lenny opened his mouth to express his view on it.

"Five!" Ryoichi had finally started to push himself up using the arms that were on the ropes to push himself up.

"What are you talking about Lenny? No way in hell there's foul play involved!"

"Six!" the tension was brewing in the boxing hall with the crowd separated into two, ones cheering for Ryoichi to keep getting up, and ones who were cheering for Cortez who seemed like he had already gone celebrating. The commentator table was none better, the neutral bunch full of former boxers and fans of the sport had found topics to discuss.

"You cannot deny the fact that there have been bad rumors going on and scandals emerging on our former champions' side."

"Seven!" Ryoichi had finally recollected himself, standing up, even pushing himself off the ropes.

"Stop your pickering! Our challenger is up on his feet." Betty finally opened her mouth after Lenny and Luis had gone at each other for a while.

"Should've stayed down, puta!"

The referee stopped the count and moved over to Ryoichi, grabbing a hold of both of his gloves and looking into Ryoichi's eyes. "Are you good to go? How many fingers am I holding up?" the referee held up three fingers in front of Ryoichi's face.

"Threee..."

As Ryoichi looked into the referee's eyes, it felt as if for a moment, his eyes flashed light blue light, and all of sudden, a weird wave emerged from within him, spreading all around the boxing hall. Seconds after, a countless number of people, including the referee, began to faint, and some who didn't, either were surprised or felt the cold sweat come on their neck. If that was not an indication that Ryoichi was good to go, then nothing else is.

Sanpaku (산빠쿠)

The arena sat quietly in anticipation as the brutish exchange between the two boxing savants reached its climax. It wasn’t that the patrons didn’t want to make noise, it was more like they were compelled to the ‘boxing’ spell that was an impending knockout.

Throughout the halls, the sounds of the men shoes squeaking against the bloodied,sweat drenched floor created a hypnotizing tone. One single misstep meant either man’s end.

“When I was younger…” Cortez began to ramble, “I told mi abuela I wanted to be a luchador. She said - ‘Cortez. God blessed you with many things but poise wasn’t one of them. Luchador are nimble, swift and strong… You’re way to frail of a thing.” Cortez declared, tears swelling in his eyes.

“The next week she was shot dead in the streets by noble scum over some needle work she’d done wrong for a mistress. The worlds a cruel place isn’t it? I never became a Luchador and that noble never breathed another day after abuela’s funeral. An eye for an eye.” Cortez concluded, dropping his guard as he inched closer to Ryoichi’s position.

Meanwhile, in the hallways outside the arena, Castor elegantly avoided the swelling explosive humps that seemed to be conjured by the mysterious tourist assassin.

”Super cool. If it wasn’t for that poor posture of yours, it’d say you’d have the strokes of a swan. But it’s more like a gracefully waddle like pheasant - tahahaha!” The assassin exclaimed.

”Gashi Gashi… This is the most exercise I’ve gotten in awhile. I’m not sure if I should take that statement for a compliment or an insult but your abilities do intrigue me.

Unfortunately, I’m here on vacation myself so I can’t afford to draw too much attention. It’d like to end this discretely. My client awaits.” Castor stated, assembling the pieces of his Clima Tact.

“Ah. A Weatheria Native? It’s been awhile since I’ve seen one of those.” The assassin declared astonished.

Summoning a series of black thunder clouds, a haze encompassed the area, rendering Castor virtually unrecognizable to the naked eye.

Swelling the hallways, the space between the ceiling and the floor shrunk with little passage in the middle, similar to that of a vein. The random bystanders were caught in the middle, squeezed beneath the contorting walls and floors before the entire area exploded.

The explosion caused the lights in the boxing arena to go haywire momentarily. As the smoke dissipated, Castor dismembered arm clutched against the assassins throat.

“Ahhhh… Now my disguise is all ruined. Paku Paku Paku…” Castor chuckled sinisterly.

Reassembling his physical form, Castor impaled the now fractured pieces of his Clima Tact into the shoulder, solar plexus and knee cap of the hovering victim.

Using his electricity, the metallic wedges began to spin a drill like manner. As blood splatter against the rumbled ridden halls, Nox three eyes locked in synch with the rebels own.

“Tahahaha… Such bad luck. Who knew I’d run into the hotshot rookie Sanpaku himself-“ The assassins speech cut short from Castor frying the man’s throat with an electrical jolt.

"N... No... No way... Him?!" As a fair share of the boxing hall had collapsed, Lenny, the final commentator muttered into the microphone as he saw the two other fellow commentators drop their heads onto the microphones and then slide off of them onto the table with a thump of a noise.

This event that remained a mystery for Ryoichi even lead Cortez to ramble as he was approaching Ryoichi with lowered guard. Those who had managed to remain conscious and less fazed by the entire situation may have thought that Cortez had a momentary desire to let his opponent know of his upbringing, perhaps share some lesser-known facts about him with a respectable opponent...

The reality, however, is often disappointing.

Cortez was doing nothing but trying to save his own backside, hoping to get on Ryoichi's good side. Despite the man being a tough boxer, possibly tougher than many, even he was not untouched by the "king's" ambition.

Without the referee to officially start the match up at this very point, Ryoichi took matters into his own hand with a strong hook right into the approaching Cortez's stomach, followed by a left straight to punch him away from him.

"We all got a sob story. That does not give us the right to be a bully." With determination shining from Ryoichi's very own eyes like Aquamarines, Ryoichi continued the fight with only one aim now...

To win.
