Cursed swords. They are a mysterious power that grants demons extra power. No one knows the true meaning of how these Cursed Spirits came to be, but one thing is for sure, they make the user near unbeatable.

"You say your power is to do with controlling wind, right?" asked Mr Bushido.

"That's correct," replied Tony Law.

"Well, it looks like I'll have to become wind, then. No, I am the storm," smirked Mr Bushido.

"What?" wondered Tony Law.

"Cursed Spirit: Susanoo!" called Mr Bushido.

As Mr Bushido said this, blue-coloured clouds formed around him to make a traditional Japanese Samurai armour. Lightening bolts flashed around him, and his Demon aura spiked drastically.

"This power is immense. So, there is a reason why he is classed as one of the strongest." thought Tony Law.

As Tony Law was about to start an attack, Mr Bushido was already right in front of him. He slammed his sword in front of Tony Law and caused a big wound to open up. Blood spilt quite heavily due to the sharpness of the blade and the millions of cuts the gush of wind caused too.

Tony Law tried to recover too but wasn't able to in time as Mr Bushido was still on his tail. Tony Law pulled his blade from its sheath and tried to clash back at Mr Bushido. To counter Mr Bushido's Susanoo, he tried to manipulate all the wind around him and push him down. However, Mr Bushido was able to counter it all by creating clouds around Tony Law and thundershock him.

Tony Law jumped out of the way of the thundershock and threw a wind-shaped kunai. Mr Bushido's cloud armour engulfed the kunai and made no damage to him whatsoever.

"You're not disappointing like that brat from before." praised Tony Law.

"He'll come to one day. Suzuki will be the person to lead this Demon World to a brighter future. I know he will."

"Destined not to make the same mistake. I've heard that you wanted Shinra to be the beacon of hope. But that didn't end too well?" teased Tony Law.

"I'm fully aware of my faults. Your provocation will lead you nowhere," responded Mr Bushido.

"Very experienced. Guess I'll have to kick it up a notch," said Tony Law.

"Oh no, it's over for you now. Susanoo: Thunderous Hurricane." chanted Mr Bushido.

Mr Bushido pointed his blade towards Tony Law and fired off his attack. A huge spiral of wind made its way towards him. Thunderbolts jolted off the hurricane to give the attack more flare.

Bang!

Tony Law tried to avoid the attack, but it was pointless as most of Mr Bushido's moves cover all recovery points.

As the smoke raised from the attack, it revealed a frazzled Tony Law. Electric burns covered his body along with cuts seeping with blood. 

"It looks like I will need to go one step further to defeat you," said Tony Law.

"Oh?!"

"Core Crush," smirked Tony Law.
