Match 19739 Moon Knight vs. Roronoa Zoro

[Macklemore]

"Where the hell have I found myself now?" mutters Zoro to himself, placing his hand on his forehead and looking upward. "Ugh, as if that would help me. I'm hopeless."

Perhaps on queue, a few hooded men walk out of an alley which houses what is renowned as the slimiest bar in New York, bumping into the green-haired swordsman on purpose.

"Sorry, I didn't see you guys there," says Roronoa, still unsure of what direction to take if he wishes to find the nearest body of water.

"Really, buddy, seems to me like you're just seeking some sort of attention. I can tell, most people that have that hair color nowadays do," says one of the men, causing the other to laugh as if he said anything of merit.

"Right, look, I don't really have time for this back and forth. Can you let me know where I am?" 

"What a way to disrespect the home of the New York Yankees. There's no way you don't know where you are. The Greatest City in the World buddy," says another one of the men as they walk away, leaving Zoro baffled as to what happened.

"What the hell was that all about?" he says, before turning his attention to the bar that the young gentlemen just walked out of. Moving his body toward it, he pushes the doors open to reveal a who's who of renowned mobsters, lower ranking members, and sleazeballs of New York fame. Of course, somebody who was new to this place would have no reason to care about them. Not that he would even if he was a denizen of New York.

"Beer, please. And directions to the nearest body of water."

"What, the Hudson?" replies the bartender.

Overhearing the conversation, two members of a local gang sit themselves on each side of the swordsman. "Hey, if you need someone to, lets say, escort you to the Hudson, we can do it."

"Yeah," says the man on the other side of him, "we can do it. Just take our services and trust me when I say we can get you there faster than anybody else could."

"Of course, you would need to give us some money. A few dollars. You know, cause we managed to get you there with no hassle."

"Yeah, as a sign of good faith. It would help us out a fair bit."

Zoro sighs. "There it is again. I don't have any doll hairs. I have no problems paying you with gold, however."

The men chuckle. "Heh, what, d-did they bring back the gold standard or sumthin?"

"Yeah, come on. We are sophisticated here, we like greens. Not to say that we won't take your gold, don't get us wrong. We know that doesn't depreciate over time."

`Why was that funny`, Zoro thought to himself. "Look, I have found myself in a place where people treat me like a lunatic. The gold IS the standard everywhere I've been, this is the only place where it isn't like that. Bring me to the place I need to go or not, either works for me. I don't really need the help from you guys."

They flash their guns to him, neatly packed in straps on their legwear. "Hey, we don't really need to be insulted, we just offered, in a friendly manner might I add, to help out a lost guy such as yourself. We don't need the sass from a green-haired degenerate like you."

"Funny, people like you always flash their guns at me from a meter away. Tell me, who do you really think is faster on the draw? Me, or the both of you combined?"

Frantically seeking out their guns, the gang members reach downward only to have Zoro throw slice their bodies in half with one swoop. "Pathetic," he says, sheathing his sword back and drinking from his mug as the two men's upper bodies fall down on the dirty, cigarette ridden bar floor.

Suddenly, it was silent. And then, the sounds of guns being loaded up was the only thing that could be heard. Placing his mug on the counter in front of him, Zoro sighs. "Alright then, if it needs to be done."

"Damn it, I really wish at least you didn't get shot. I'm sorry," Zoro tells the bartender, now lying in a pool of blood. Whether the blood belonged to him or any of the other 40 dead people in this bar was another question. "Whatever, I'm no where near closer to finding where I'm supposed to go. Guess it's time I left this place," Zoro said, sheathing his swords back as he pushed the door open only for an all white man to kick him across the bar and directly into the bathroom, the only thing stopping him from flying further back being the bathroom tiles that stopped his movement.

Closing the door as he entered within, the being sees the bloodshed and gets angry with the swordsman. Moving out of the bathroom, Zoro gets annoyed. "I just got done with one of you."

"No no, you got done dealing with them. What I am, is unlike anything you know. Khonshu give me strength."

Moon Kight wins. Nuff said.

[patrickthekid]

Given how strong and fast One Piece characters can be, I'm going for Zoro.

[RakaiThwei]

I'm going with the anime character.

Wish I would have gotten to this and the Gonzo fight sooner. Some good stuff, Macklemore. 

For the record I would have gone with Zoro, who still would have lost.
