Chapter 31: Showdown! Niri vs Gosler

Disclaimer: Don't own One Piece.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

BOOM BOOM

Niri let out a loud sigh as she reloaded her father's pistol, "This guys good...but not as good as me,". She leaned against the box of ammunition she was hiding behind, trying to think of the situation. He's got two close-combat pistols, meaning he shoots well from a distance and he probably likes to get as close to his target as possible... she looked around the box's corner and saw him skulking around the other boxes, so where is his flaw?

"Hey, if you're gonna have a duel, then get your ass out here, you little snot!" Gosler yelled.

Niri took off her bandanna and scratched her head, "Damn...," she put the headpiece back on and snapped her pistol shut, all the chambers loaded. She looked back and saw that Gosler had his back turned to her. She grinned and aimed right at his back, then pulled the hammer.

BOOM BOOM!

Niri barely had time to duck as Gosler shot another two bullets at her that would've taken her scalp off if she hadn't moved at all. She squeaked, How did he know...?

"You're hammer needs a little tuning girly, I could hear a snap like that a mile away!"

She sweatdropped, Ok...NOW I know how he knew. So what now? she thought as she looked around the corner again. Gosler was standing in the same spot, spinning both pistols around his fingers. She frowned He can hear my gun load and being ready to fire...so how the hell can I get a clear shot off him?

A whirring sound made her tilt her head, He's reloading already? He only fired off two shots...wait she counted off her fingers and soon a grin appeared on her face. His guns can only have two rounds at a time...this gives me the advantage!

She rolled out from behind the crate and aimed her gun at Gosler, "You need more than a couple of shots to win this fight, Gosler," she said mockingly. The man smirked, "That's why you think, you little bitch!".

With amazing speed, Gosler ran at her, holding the butts of his guns outward. Niri's eyes widened, "Aw shit!". She barely dodged the curved blades as they swooped over her, Forgot about those...

Gosler glanced at her and brought his bladed weapon down on her, slicing her hand. She cried in pain as her father's memento went across the floor. Niri grabbed her nicked hand and glared at him, "That was a cheap shot, you sonofabitch,". Gosler cackled as he pressed the barrel of his right pistol between her eyes.

BOOM

"Eh?"

Gosler missed! The point blank shot he had was a complete miss!

"FUCKING ASSHOLE!"

A muffled noise later, Gosler was doubled over, holding his groin in pain. Niri stood up and blew a lock of her hair out of her face, "A real gunner never pulls a cheap shot...,". She walked over to where her gun lay and walked back over to him, and pressed it against his back.

"You said...no cheap shots...," Gosler gasped slowly.

Niri pulled back the hammer, "This isn't a cheap shot. It's a shot used in executions," she muttered before pulling the trigger. The gunshot echoed and Gosler slumped over, a dark wet spot growing on his shirt.

As she walked to the exit, Niri spun her father's pistol around on her finger, "Now I'm off to find the Treasure Room...,". Halfway there, she stopped and looked to the side. An object on a nearby crate caught her eye. It had two barrels, medium length, a dark wooden stock and a large belt next to it. She reached over and grabbed them both, "Ooooh...I likee this!"

She checked the barrels and saw that they were already loaded and saw that the belt was lined with at least two dozen shells. "This is the best looking shotgun I've seen in a while," she murmured as she strapped the belt around herself, "Hate for it to go to waste,".

BOOM!

Niri looked over her shoulder, the barrels of the shotgun smoking, "A real gunner doesn't sneak up either," she hissed as Gosler's decaptitated head went flying halfway across the room. It hit the wall and fell to the floor with a sickening splat while the headless body slumped over, blood spewing from the stump.

Taking a deep breath, Niri held the shotgun close to her body and then exhaled, "THIS...IS MY BOOMSTICK!".
