Series Title: The Last
Episode 19: “The Test of Kings”
🌅 Opening Scene: Return to Training Grounds
After naming Auron and leaving the Wind Tribe, the Roger Pirates return to a secluded rocky island surrounded by deep mist and endless waterfalls—an old battleground once used by pirates for intense training.
Roger stands at the cliff, the wind brushing against his coat, eyes closed.
Roger (to himself):
“The next war is coming. I need to see where my strongest warriors truly stand.”
He turns around and calls out two names.
Roger:
“Fugitora. Taro.
I want to see your blades clash with mine…
Right here. Right now.”
🧔♂️ Taro: The Dark Swordsman
Taro steps forward.
He wears a deep purple robe, black armor underneath, and carries a single long katana.
His eyes are sharp, with a red glint whenever his focus peaks.
His blade, Kurayami-no-Kiba ("Fang of Darkness"), is wrapped in dark bandages that unravel when he draws it.
His fighting style is aggressive, built on sudden dark surges of slashes.
Taro’s Signature Opener:
🔥 “Dark Boom – Black Rift Slash”
A sudden burst of dark energy that explodes from his blade and pulls enemies toward him like a vacuum.
⚔️ Fugitora: The Flashing Twin Blades
Fugitora spins his twin blades and grins.
He's flamboyant, fast, and dangerously unpredictable.
His style mixes entertainment and speed, with explosive footwork and blade spins.
Signature Technique:
💥 “Flash Lotus Barrage”
A spiraling combo of sword strikes in circular patterns, confusing opponents before the final burst strike.
🌊 The Arena: The Clash with Roger
Roger unsheathes his blade of will, Kamigami, a massive broadsword with ancient inscriptions glowing dimly.
He plants it into the ground and smiles.
Roger:
“Come at me… both of you. Together. No holding back.”
The ground trembles.
⚔️ FULL BATTLE: Roger vs. Fugitora & Taro
⚡Phase 1: Opening Exchange
Taro launches with Dark Boom – Black Rift Slash, cracking the ground open and sending a dark pulse.
Roger sidesteps, deflects the energy with his sword and grins.
Fugitora leaps with a flurry of spinning strikes, moving so fast his blades blur.
Roger blocks with one hand and kicks the ground—sending shockwaves.
“You’ll need more than flair and shadows!”
🔥 Phase 2: Fusion Attack
Taro and Fugitora synchronize—
Taro plunges the battlefield into Dark Zone, a shadow dome that dims light.
Fugitora’s blades suddenly glow bright, using the darkness as contrast.
Combo Move:
⚫💨 “Shadow Bloom Inferno”
Taro creates black whirlwinds. Fugitora dances through them, every slash causing delayed shock explosions.
Roger is pushed back for the first time.
He wipes blood from his lip.
Roger:
“NOW it’s getting interesting.”
⚡ Phase 3: Roger Unleashed
Roger roars with Conqueror’s Haki, the island cracks in half, trees rip from roots, birds flee the skies.
He slams his sword into the ground:
💥 “Heaven Divider”
A golden arc of haki cuts the sky and splits the sea mist. The dome shatters.
He grabs Fugitora by the cloak mid-spin and slams him into a rock.
Blocks Taro’s death stab and counters with a heavy punch coated in haki.
“Your spirit… is strong. But your instincts… still need work!”
💢 FINAL MOMENTS
Taro, bloodied but still standing, launches one final move:
⚔️ “Black Bloom: Full Moon Slash”
A wide, sweeping horizontal slash of dark flame.
Roger meets it with a thunderous vertical slice:
⚡ “Divine Gate Breaker”
The clash sends a beam of energy into the sky—blinding light engulfs the area.
When the dust clears…
Fugitora is on his knees, panting.
Taro is still standing, sword down… then finally collapses, exhausted.
Roger is standing tall—but sweating.
Roger (grinning):
“That’s what I wanted…
The blades of the next era.”
🏁 After the Battle
The rest of the crew runs in, impressed.
Aero claps from the trees.
Echo whistles.
Sera tends to Fugitora’s wounds.
Roger walks over to Taro and helps him up.
Roger:
“You start your fights with darkness.
But I see light deep in your core.
Keep sharpening your blade, Taro. One day… it may surpass mine.”
🌙 Final Scene: Nightfall Meditation
Taro sits alone, sword beside him, staring at the moon.
Taro (whispering):
“Darkness was always my armor.
But maybe… it’s not my only path.”
From the shadows, Auron watches from a nearby cliff—eyes wide, inspired.
