"Such a hassle, you little brat..." Taki ran forward, lifting her chainsaw high above her head.

"Huh!?" Taki moved so fast that Kaizoku struggled to react.

As Taki reached Kaizoku, she attacked from above, swinging the chainsaw downward. However, Kaizoku managed to dodge the blow, quickly leaping to the right.

Kaizoku's evasive move caused Taki's chainsaw to stab into the ground. As she tried to pull it out, Kaizoku quickly got up from his fall and kicked her hands, forcing her to release her grip on the chainsaw.

Following up with a side kick, Kaizoku knocked Taki to the side, leaving her chainsaw stuck in the ground. "Sorry, lady, but you forced me to hurt you."

Kneeling down, clutching her stomach in shock, Taki thought to herself, (Huh? He's just an ordinary human with no training, yet he managed to injure me internally... I need to report this to Lord Ishayaki.) Taki stood up with a blank but furious expression.

"Equal rights, equal fights. I'm no coward," Kaizoku declared, brimming with confidence after separating Taki from her chainsaw.

"Equal fights...? Alright, if you want fair rules... Come on, kid." Taki assumed a stance, ready for hand-to-hand combat.

Kaizoku holstered Destion at his right thigh. "Come on, lady... I won't hit you seriously."

Taki rushed at him again, throwing a punch with her right hand aimed at Kaizoku's face. He blocked it with his left hand and countered with a punch to Taki's cheek using his right hand.

The punch landed, and Taki spun to her left, using the momentum to kick Kaizoku in the head.

The kick knocked Kaizoku to the ground, the pain in his head unbearable. Taki followed up, attempting to stomp on his face.

Kaizoku caught her right foot just before it hit him. He responded by kicking her left leg hard, causing Taki to fall to the ground beside him.

Kaizoku quickly got up and positioned himself on top of Taki, attempting to strangle her. "Die! Die, you damn woman!"

Though in a desperate position, Taki managed to throw a powerful punch with her right hand, hitting Kaizoku's left cheek and breaking his grip on her throat.

Taki gets up from the ground swiftly and closed in on Kaizoku, who was still lying down. She grabbed his hair and began dragging him toward her chainsaw.

Kaizoku tried to resist, but Taki's grip was too strong.

Once they reached the chainsaw still embedded in the ground, Taki started it up. She then hurled Kaizoku's head toward the spinning blade, intending to slice his head in two.

Kaizoku tried to get up, but Taki stomped on his head, pinning him down. He strained to hold his position, knowing his head would be cleaved in half if he didn't.

"Huff... Huff... An entertaining fight, but too bad, kid... I'm the winner..." Taki said in a tired, pained voice, her wounds from Kaizoku taking their toll.

Kaizoku ignored what Taki was talking about and remained focused on staying in his position.
