[center][h3]Elvira vs Griffin: Devil Fruit?[/h3][/center]

The word 'Chibi' rang in Elvira's ears and her mind. Her stare didn't change except for a slight twitch. Ray looked at the marine, "Now you've done it mate, she may have let you live, but now..." He didn't finish his sentence, he merely looked at the pirate he was about to fight and said, "We should take this somewhere else." Before waiting for an answer he jumped off the top and landed on the ground, waiting for his opponent. The marine took a step and Elvira dash forward at lightning speed, then she vanished into thin air. She reappeared right at the marines leg, going for a slash across his leg.

His brow raised in confusion at Ray's words. What exactly was that suppose to mean? That was her moniker after all, she had created a reputation as a pirate and she was but a small child, it was to be expected. Still though, he was surprised none the less by Elvira's disappearance. She was fast but he would have a caught glimpse of her if it was speed alone. 

No, she wasn't so fast that she would vanished. Something else was at work. 

Still without his stance he felt a shift in the air near him and as quick as possible brought his katana to bear the strike against his leg. The clang of metal was mute in the loud chaos but he was quick to backpedal away from the girl. His last retreating step was only a feint as he effortlessly flip through the air and came down where Elvira was, his katana ready to intercept most strikes towards his torso but more so ready to slam down towards her small frame.

Just as she did before she vanished, she came back into sight, a mere two or three meters up the stairs. She gave the cold dead look at him, her breathing was calm and so was she. She looked at her hands, her weapon was missing. She looked back at the marine and dashed once again, as if she still had a sword in her hands she was at his neck...

He landed with a swirl of dust. She had vanished again and now he felt like he was starting to understand the situation. He looked around himself with caution, slashing his katana around before realizing she had appeared on the stairs. He fixed a cold stare on before realizing her blade was gone from her hand. He would have trusted it if he nagging feelings wasn't prodding him. 

Better be safe just in case, he told himself, keeping his guard sharp. 

Griffin was able to keep track of her this time so he quick to lift his blade in defense of his neck. He felt the essence of a blade in her hand, the grip she was holding thin air with was too reminiscent. Again his blade clanged against her and he leaned his neck back, staring down the girl. 

"Invisibility," he commented to her with a half-smirk. "Your Devil Fruit power is invisibility. Impressive bu-" He said but was interrupted by the war cry of another.

An old withered pirate came charging up the stairs, too many days in the sun. Elvira and Griffins blade swung into the old pirate, killing him almost instantly. She pulled her sword from his chest, blood dripping off the air. Blood was across her face. Griffin looked at the dead pirate and back Elvira, well, where she was. She was already back at the top of the stairs, sword sheathed and Drake wiping the blood off her.

Griffin could hear the blood from his katana splatter against the ground. She was better than he thought she was but he had no doubt in his mind that if they had continued, she would have been caught and arrested. He'd have to apply for seastone cuffs once he got back to headquarters or else he'd lose her eventually. 

He fixed his gaze on her and Drake. "I'll let you go this time," he spoke out, sheathing his katana. "Only because your announcement has only made my stage all the grander. Be ready to here my name a lot on your journeys." He turned his back to them and begun to walk away through the crowd. He could tell he wasn't completely ready to face the three of them. At least not together. 

Drake over looked this marine, he had no doubt his name will be recurring again. What was it again? Griff- Geff- Miff- Muffen? Thats right, Muffen was this marines name, kind of strange Drake thought to himself.
