[VS] Size Matters [Titho/Logan]

[pepsi]

-- // SIZE MATTERS

When Titho entered in the barren, oblong-shaped arena, his eyes couldn't keep up with the albedo. He closed them, trying not to be blinded for too long. He wasn't sure exactly why he had agreed to entering the tournament, it was probably just that stubborn head of his. Always trying to prove he's stronger than any challenge. Ah, yes, the pride of Giants suits their size.

He wasn't a Giant, however. Not in that exact moment, at least; he didn't want to draw too much attention to himself, and so he opted for the more considerate, Hybrid form. Many of the guards had an actual hard time convincing themselves that no, that wasn't a helmet and no, that wasn't a full set of armor.
Titho didn't care. It wasn't their fault if they didn't believe him, and he couldn't really explain himself very well.

So, the most unsuspectable Giant in the world stepped into the dry ellipse of the arena, noticing that on the other side stood another extremely tall figure. He kept on walking forwards, thinking to himself how it could have possibly passed trough the same tiny gate as him.

As the Titho came out into the barren, oblong-shaped arena, there standing before him was another extremely tall man, he wore a smirk on his face as he walks towards his opponent.

Logan stared at titho with his different colored eyes, as he was stretching and trying to loosen up, he had Agree on entering the tournament to get some real fighting experience with his devil fruit, as he only had training dummies to train with.

And as Logan got to the center of the arena, he looked at the other man,”hope you don’t go easy on me”he said, as he wanted a fair fight.

The other person approached towards the middle point between him and Titho, and revealed himself to be way too short to be a Giant. Some kind of half-Giant, maybe? It was rather hard to tell. The man, looking at Titho through his dichroic eyes, seemed eager to fight.
However, he also wanted to take things slow, at least at the very start. Titho wasn't an impatient person, fortunately for him.

Titho exhaled when the man asked him to not go easy. That was exactly the right place to ask such a thing, Titho thought; probably the nicest request he got that day. His own pride as a Giant compelled him to commit every inch of his body into a fight. It was a matter of honour, not just a matter of size.
So, the armourclad Titho shifted his stance, bringing one foot back and both arms in front of his body. He then extended one palm, and in a cheeky invitation to start the battle, he bent his fingers twice towards himself.

He definitely had something to show his opponent.

As Logan just smirks as he chancing his stamce as well, putting on foot in front while putting his arms up offensively in front of his body, and as he saw the giant man make the hand gesture, Logan then launches upwards towards Titho.

You then see him reel back his arm and yelling,”Hydraulick punch!”he yelled as goes and swings his arm at titho stomach, but before it made contact with titho you could see that in between Logan fist and elbow, his Forearm Had transformed into a Dark grey piston as it then went launch into Titho stomach.

This would increase the power and damage of the punch, as you can see Logan smirking, as this was going to be fun he thought, as he hadn’t had a fight in a while.

And so, the fight had begun. Titho had been in many a fight in his lifetime - after all, fighting between peers was a staple in his country of origin. He was also pretty darn good at it, despite not being the most aggressive of fighters.
In fact, he typically won by pure war of attrition. For this reason he was called by his mates...

... The "Boring Champion".

Titho saw the enemy leap towards him, of a sudden, as if trying to catch them by surprise. Istinctively, his arms that were already pretty close to his body crossed into his signature defensive stance.
Something else caught his attention, however: something, at the back of the man's elbow... a piece of machinery? Was the man one of those people that willingly made themselves half-machine?
He fully expected a retaliation, just not that the enemy would have jumped to their best cards already. And then, he was forced to jump to those cards too.

Among the varied and colorful branches of the animal kingdom, there's the one of insects. Some people love to collect insects, encasing them in glass or other resins. Some even enjoy collecting them and pinning each of them to a board with thumb tacks.
In any collection, however, there is one insect that can't be pinned this way. In fact, its shell is so hard...

... that it normally can't be pierced, stomped on or otherwise shattered.

The name of this insect is "Ironclad Beetle", and its peculiarly hard shell gives it his name; "Ironclad Beetle" also happens to be the exact name of the creature in which Titho, having eaten his Devil Fruit, was capable to turn into.
In other words, his defense was off the charts.

When the hit connected, Titho felt the hammering power of the piston being driven into his forearms; the impact pushed him backwards for a few feet.
However, he wouldn't even budge. The impact merely displaced him, but he rigidly translated into the new spot without as much as a limb moving.
Titho's armoured eyes looked up to the enemy, popping up from under his crossed arms. His left reached his shoulder, and motioned as if he was to shrug some dust off of it. From behind the chitin mask that made up his face, Titho was very evidently smirking.

He then went back to extending a palm and calling for a new attack. The guy could've done better, for sure.

-- NAME // Titho Kjartan Morana

-- CLASS // E

-- TECHS USED // Egis Elytra
Titho assumes a defensive stance, typically crossing his forearms before himself or even kneeling down. Then, he concentrates fully on keeping his poise and defending what is behind him from any attack. When used in the Hybrid form, the shell of the Ironclad Beetle helps him gain additional defense.

When Logan pistons reels back into place, he then lands back on to the ground as he looks at titho, ‘well that could have gone better.’he thought, as he looks over the now armored titho in all hsi glory.

‘So your a devil fruit user as well, neat.’ He said to himself in thought, as he Start to try and think of a way to get past this giants armored skin.

But then Logan thought of something, as he then launches towards titho, running at full speed you then see him then go and slide on the ground, going between Tithos legs.

As then logan then stop right before the back of the knee joints, and using the momentum of the sliding, Logan yells”Hydraulick kick!” As he then transform the part between his ankle and knee joint, into a piston as with the force of the swing and piston.

It goes to hit the back part of the knee joint, where Logan thinks would be a less armored then the rest of the body, because you can’t have everywhere armored.

Once again, the enemy picked up on Titho's advice to go on and invent something else. They leapt forwards again, this time going right to the side of the Ironclad Beetle; the attack was brought to the back of the knee.

But that wasn't the real issue.

Titho had the pride of a Giant. And with their pride, came unbearable rules by which he had to fight; some form of honor code, to speak. Giants were incredibly respectful of the rules they had imposed for themselves.
And so, when Titho's eyes were blinded by the sand of the arena, he didn't even think of putting up a defense. He only felt the extreme disappointment in looking at such a disrespectful child.

His knee was struck, although he didn't lose his balance; he was extremely good at keeping one. The hit was still pretty powerful, and he had to kneel down from the pain in his leg. It was about time to show his enemy something to put him in line.

And just like that, the sun over the tall man was shadowed. Not by a cloud, but by the hulking mass of a Giant; the height of the Giant was at least twice the one of the already tall piston-man, if not more. There was no trace of the armor he was wearing just a second before.
From his crouching position, the Giant charged up one fist: it wasn't aimed at his enemy, since he was facing the wrong direction to do so, but towards the ground.

When it connected, then, the whole arena was shook as if by an earthquake; it became very difficult to stand on such terrain. Titho, however, didn't have any problem: as stated before, his balance was near perfect.
He took the opportunity to turn around, and strike again: this time, his punch - that was large enough to cover the man's chest entirely, for sure - was aimed directly at his solar plexus.

-- NAME // Titho Kjartan Morana

-- CLASS // E

-- TECHS USED // Landskjálpti Mäkt Atgeir
Titho punches the opponent shifting the weight into the punch; the combination of weight and strength is enough to send lighter opponents flying, depending on the difference in weight and height between Titho and them. If used against the ground when Titho's height is at its maximum, it can cause the ground to shake in a large area around him.

As Logan was getting up he then felt the giant sized fist hit him, He then was sent flying back into the wall of the arena, making a hug smoke cloud.

And as the smoke cleared you can see that he had a dent in the wall as around logan you can see it cracked and some pieces of rocks falling off.

Logan then raises his head as most other people would be knocked out or killed but he had taken hits before, but he had to it mitt that titho hit him good, he then looks at giant,”you got Yourself a good punch.”he said as he then Pulled himself out of the hole he made from getting launched into it.

You then seem grab the wall, then planting his feet into the wall as well, as then You can see both of Logan’s forearms and his legs transformed into pistons.

As then Logan using the pistons as propulsion, shot himself forward, but before he left the wall he had grabbed on to you can see two giant pieces of rocks.

And as he was flying towards Titho, using the still transformed forearm pistons to then shoot the rocks at the giant at high speeds, and from behind Logan was reeling back his arm to prepare a punch.

With the full strength of his heritage as a Giant, Titho managed to launch the enemy so far it lodged itself into a wall of the arena. It had been a while since he felt it necessary to turn to his original form to fight, but it was rather satisfying to pull off the extraordinary feats of strength that such form allowed him.

The man, however, wasn't knocked out from the attack. Titho was rather surprised; his face, now entirely visible albeit slightly against the light of the sun, morphed into a slight frown. He was still able to talk? Remarkable, he thought.
Titho shifted again into a defensive position, just to be sure.

In a flash, the man sprung out from the vertical crater - quite literally sprung out, given his piston-powered jump - and went as far as shooting a pair of rocks towards the Giant. Using his humongous fists just like he had done a moment prior, Titho smashed the rocks into a million shards that went flying in all directions.
His knuckles took quite a beating, and reported a decent amount of cuts; it didn't matter much, since he had managed to turn the offensive of the enemy on his head.

Logan still flying at high speed at Titho, see how he dealt with the rocks and just smirks as those rocks were Just distractions as he flys between Tithos legs, and was heading towards the wall of the area Behind his opponent.

As he was about to hit the wall he then turns his legs back into pistons to then immediately Propel up and was heading for the back of Titho Head.

Then using the momentum and speed he had, has he then screams,”Hydraulick Punch!”as he then goes to punch Titho, as also the piston shoots out making the punch more devastating in nature, as he just keeps the smirk on his face.
