Prelude:

The Straw hat pirates needed some supplies to continue their journey in the Grand Line. They managed to reach an odd city. This city is known for its unfolded mysteries regarding time-travel. It has been said that beneath the city lies a research project that was abandoned long time ago. It was intended to provide answers and solutions which is expected to be the stepping stone towards achieving time-travel technology. The adventurous nature of Luffy lead him in discovering an entrance to an unexplored tunnel. He was so excited about it which made him cared less about informing his crew on what he is up to. The tunnel lead him to an underground science facility. He unveiled the city's secret but accidentally pushed a lever which made everything operate and he instantly find himself in a very weird place. The buildings are extremely tall and he never seen something like it before. Nonetheless, Luffy was more surprised to find a blond guy infront of him asking what his intentions are. Luffy was very confused as to what is happening and really needs some time to think of it but the blond guy suddenly attacked him with a ferocious slash. He is Kurosaki Ichigo and the most awaited battle between the two most loved heroes has begun.

Affiliations:

Dadan family (former) , Straw Hat pirates

Age: 19

Birthday: May 5th

Height: 172 cm

Famous quote:

" I am the man who will become the Pirate King! "

Strength: Luffy is not the strongest pirate in terms of physical strength. However, his main power lies on how he can influence others to be with him to accomplish a certain goal. He also stands up for what he believe is right and gets stronger if his friends are threatened. If you want to mess with this guy, be sure not to involve his friends or he will surely beat you up!

Weakness: Like any other pirate who ate a devil fruit, Luffy, can't swim. He would drown underwater so the best way to defeat him is by throwing him into the sea. The fact that he gets easily affected by his friend's condition is also a weakness. He tends to make careless decisions if his friends are in great danger.

Fighting Techniques:

He has a wide array of attacks but all of them are mainly concentrated on hi rubber-like ability. His attacks include "Jet Pistol" where he stretches one of this hand to gain momentum and punches the opponent with it. " Bazooka" is one of his favorite techniques were he stretches and punches using both of his hands.

Kurosaki Ichigo

Occupation: Student/ Substitute Shinigami

Affiliations:

None

Age: 17

Birthday: July 15th

Height: 174 cm

Famous quote:

"Stay alive, no matter what occurs...I will find you."

Strength: Ichigo is famed for his hollow form. He is only a substitute Shinigami but his power is at par with those of a Captain class or even more. His Bankai form allows him to move so fast that even the fastest Shingamis can't keep up. He can also fire a heavy black force from his sword as he slashes it in air, a technique he calls Getsuga Tensho. Nonetheless, the main source of strength of this peculiar Shinigami is his power to unleash the Hollow in him and use its power to aid in battle. His so called hollow form varies in intensity which can be recognized on the shape of his hollow mask. This transformation provides him a huge amount of boost in terms of speed and power. In fact, it is a common sight for him to be consumed by the power as the Hollow inside him gains control, giving him tremendous evil power that even the bravest ins the Shinigami world fears.

Weakness: The only weakness that Ichigo has is the fact that there are some situation where the Hollow inside him overwhelms his will and gain control. Although it often leads to victory against his much stronger foes, his friends are also left in danger knowing that he is unaware of what he is doing.

Fighting Techniques:

The only special technique Ichigo uses is "Getsuga Tensho" where he slashes the air with tremendous power creating a wave forceful enough create a crater along its path. However, the intensity of this technique varies as it greatly increases if he is on his Hollow form. All in all, he rely on speed in every battle as long as his will to never give up and protect his friends no matter what it takes.

THE BATTLE

Ichigo started the clash with his famous "Getsuga Tensho" and caught Luffy off-guard. Luffy failed to dodge and took a direct hit. However, his rubber-like body saved him from taking too much damage from the attack. Ichigo rushed towards him to give the finishing blow but Luffy fought back with a fury of punches which gave Ichigo no option but to dodge. Luffy's punches continue to rain as Ichigo avoided them one after another. Ichigo finally was caught by a single blow as he missed a turn and was instantly smashed on the wall. Luffy extended his rubber arm backwards as he gets ready to use his "Jet Pistol" but Ichigo got away from the pile of debris and attacked Luffy with his Bankai form. There was no time for Luffy to throw his attack and he went flying again as the forceful slash of Ichigos zanpakouto caught him. Ichigo asked Luffy if he had enough but as we all know, he won't back down on a very skillful enemy that is why he rushed an attack with his "Bazooka". Ichigo was the one left off guarded this time and went off flying into the opposite direction, leaving his sword. However, the battle has just begun as Ichigo picked his sword in a spit second and started using his hollow form. Luffy increased his ability as well and used "Second Gear". With both of their speed and power increased, the battle went on until exhaustion lead them to a battle of will. Before something drastic happened, Zorro ( Straw Hat's Swordsman) interfered as well as Kuchiki Byakuya (Memeber of the 13 Protection Squad Captain) and ended the fight. In the end, both were satisfied that it was just a plain misunderstanding. The two forces of good eventually realize that they are on the same side.
