(and the eye on his trident suddenly seemed to open wide) kaoru : !? audience : what's going on!? that weapon...!! joker (quietly, silently, holding his trident and smile) : come on. midori : ...? domon : what's with him? he seems to get serious!? yanagi : hn... fuuko : ...what do you think? mi-chan. tokiya : he's different. completely different from the joker before. [battle level up... what does he mean?] kaoru (attack) : YA!! here I come, joker!! well, how will you counter!? (suddenly change anki into the scissors) third form, kyoku!! (but joker is just so calm... and suddenly...) joker (holding the scissors back with his bare hands) : like this. audience (shocking) : h... he stopped it!! and with bare hands!!? kaoru : ...!!? [w... what's this feeling... strange... like my body's not here...] joker (throws kaoru back) : hoii! kaoru : WAAA--!! joker (humming) : well! don't you... think my strength is amazing? kaoru (vein, triangle eyes, being thrown flat on the ground) : ......... [just like that time! he easily stopped the attack from J-kipa! unlike his looks, he's a powerful fighter!! but... there was a strange feeling...... what was it!!? I have to find out!!] (change anki again) fourth form!! boomerang!! (joker calmly reach out a hand and deflect the boomerang with such ease, in fact, he aimed it right back at kaoru) kaoru (sweatdrop) : !? (quickly catch it) AH!! (but...) ! [it's... light!? (stares curiously at kougon anki.) ...kougon anki weighs the same now... but in an instant...] audience : a... amazing!! he threw the boomerang right back!! deserves to be uruha kurenai's co-captain!! kaoru : [I know...... something's fishy!!] uruha audience : gooooo, joker!!! uruha!! uruha!! hokage audience : err... they're still here! these uruha supporters... of course. uruha's strength is their charisma. uruha audience : uruha!! hokage audience : plus the uruha side has victory within reach! of course the tension is off the wall. uruha audience : uruha!! uruhaaaa! man 1 : ...... as for kaoru... he really is strong. but... just getting a little uncomfortable. man 2 : hey!! don't say such things anymore!! man 1 : but... isn't he owned by joker's super strength! so I was just thinking... in a time like this--- only if... recca was here! keishuu : who's recca? man 2 : eh!! you don't know him!? man 1 : hokage's captain. he's strong like a demon!! man 2 : though he's a moron. man 1 : errr yeah. a moron. keishuu (sweatdrop, think) : a demon-like moron...? man 2 : [if recca... was here... (kurei looks at the hokage audiences) kurei : heheheh... [only in complete desperation do they understand that everything was just an empty hope. such fools...! your hope will b e shattered, and you will fall into the pit of desperation!! joker's super strength...? that just proves that you haven't seen through his real power!! and if koganei thinks thesame... then he will only DIE!! DIE!!] kaoru : ...... (thinks for a moment) [let me... try it!!] (throws out kougon anki in chain form) RYU!!! joker (very arrogantly) : what a monkey. you can't do much repeating the same thing. kaoru (picks up a rock meanwhile) : [if my guess...] kurei : !? kaoru (throws the rock at joker) : [is correct!!] joker (who just caught ryu in one hand, didn't expect the rock... which lightly hits and then bounces off his chest) : ERRR!? domon (super deformed) : THE STONE... fuuko (super deformed too) : IS FLOATING---!? (yep, it's floating ^.^) kagero : [so that's what happened... (relief)] joker : ......... so the cover's blown? (the rock lightly falls on the ground) kaoru : your power is not super strength! (smile) you're real power is------ GRAVITY CHANGE!! end of volume 14 chapter 7 translator's note : now, this is obviously not in the anime, needless to say, so I've gotta make a note... joker's gravity changing ability is really creating a field with his madougu and within that field, he can control the gravity freely. now... when in that field... which he used a few times with kaoru already and that time with J-kipa... the background is different with a strange haze, indicating that they are inside a kekkai *barrier/field*... but before you knew he can create such a field, you won't notice it, just thinking it's nice looking background... but now knowing it's gravity change... you would notice when that field is up, and they are up every time he did something incredible. if you look back... those people with the manga, they are the earlier hints that something is amiss... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
