Chapter 494: We're On the Same Ship"Wahahaha! Nico Robin, no one is coming to save you! Besides, they don't even know how to get to the Gate of Justice!!"To reach the Gate of Justice, they must first pass through a special underwater passage leading to the Bridge of Hesitation. Right now, Spandam and the others are inside that passage."Yes, yes, you are absolutely doomed, Miss Robin."Satoru indicated that he was really getting into the role.Robin was speechless. It seemed Satoru was always this fearless, no matter the situation.In reality, it was just that the enemies weren't worthy opponents.If it were Marineford, Satoru wouldn't have this attitude; he'd be running away as fast as possible... The game of finding the keys began. To increase efficiency, everyone split up to search.Franky planned to go to the kitchen first to replenish some Cola energy, and then he ran into Fukurou at the door.Usopp arrived at Jabra's room.Nami encountered the annoyingly loud Kumadori in the corridor on the first-floor reception level.Zoro didn't get lost this time and happened to find Kaku, who was also a swordsman.Sanji arrived at Kalifa's maiden boudoir. If nothing unexpected happened, he was about to face the unexpected.This was the first encounter between the crew and CP9, but it didn't mean the person they met would be their final opponent.As for Chopper, he was still in the middle of searching.Meanwhile, Luffy ran to the top floor, saw it was deserted, came back down, and stood on the ground behind the Tower of Justice, gazing at the massive Gate of Justice."I can see the Gate of Justice, but there's no path! How am I supposed to get there?!"There was no road on the ground behind the Tower of Justice leading to the Gate of Justice. As mentioned earlier, reaching the Gate of Justicerequires taking a special passage.Luffy didn't know this, and in his desperation, he tried to row across in a small boat.But "the waves were too big," and the boat was immediately capsized... "You seem to be in good spirits."Inside the underwater passage, Spandam walked in front, Satoru "escorted" Robin in the middle, and Lucci naturally brought up the rear.This sentence was spoken by Lucci to Satoru.It was redundant for him to ask; Satoru being the strongest in terms of strength was still a "sarcasm."His master, Beckman, knew just how "likable" Satoru's mouth was."That's right, I'm thinking about the future life your superior mentioned.""Besides, I see you're quite happy too, aren't you?""Your hands, lonely and itching for five years, want a satisfying showdown. Am I right?""Otherwise, why didn't you mention that there was a child and a small animal following us just now?""What!!""What do you mean by a child and an animal?!"Before Lucci could answer, Spandam panicked first."When we walked from outside to the entrance of this passage just now, there was a child following us."Satoru explained."What!! You both knew, so why didn't you say anything?!""What if that child leaks the information?!"Spandam blamed Satoru and Lucci.Satoru replied, "That's not my obligation, Commander Spandam of CP9. You should ask your subordinate why he didn't eliminate that child."Satoru threw the blame onto Lucci, who remained just as composed."Because you didn't give the order."Lucci replied, naturally addressing Spandam.Spandam couldn't believe his ears. Should he call him incredibly obedient, or did he have a screw loose?!"Are you an idiot? You have to ask about something like this!!"Spandam cursed.Lucci ignored him. Just as he said, he worked for the World Government, seeking only the legality of killing. Since the World Government appointed Spandam as his superior, he could only accept it. Otherwise, if anyone else weaker than him dared to curse him, their head would have definitely parted ways with their body by now. For example, Lucci's strength was insufficient to make Satoru's head move, though the reverse might be possible.Ignoring Spandam, Lucci looked back at Satoru. "Yes, as you said, I am indeed itching for a fight. I think you can satisfy me.""Don't say things that can't pass censorship.""Why say that? We're on the same ship, Mr. Lucci."Satoru smiled in return. He didn't want to steal Luffy's experience points."Hmph."Lucci snorted coldly. He knew Satoru's strength was certainly not weak, evident from the fact that despite being a Devil Fruit user wearing Sea Stone, he still managed to block kicks from Kaku and Blueno.Lucci, as a bloodthirsty legal assassin, endured five years on the ship solely due to the benefits of the job; otherwise, he couldn't have tolerated it. Now that he was back, he just wanted a satisfying fight. That's why Lucci showed that battle-hungry smile when Luffy and the others burned the World Government flag and declared war on them.But currently, in his heart, he still looked down on Luffy.He thought fighting Satoru would be interesting, but unfortunately, they belonged to the "same side."Satoru was smiling outwardly, but inwardly he knew Lucci looked down on Luffy. It was fine; Lucciwould soon learn what an overnight miracle was... The scene returns to Zoro and Kaku's meeting.Zoro stated that he was much stronger now than when he was at Galley-La Company.Kaku scoffed. No matter how strong he was, how much stronger could he get in one night? Kakuremained confident, after all, he was the second strongest in CP9's Doriki ranking."Is that so? You certainly sound motivated, like a wild beast.""Coincidentally, I am also a swordsman in CP9. Don't underestimate me. Just as you said, your true strength wasn't shown at Galley-La, and neither was mine."Zoro saw Kaku draw two swords. "Are you a Two-Sword Style user?"Kaku didn't answer. He simultaneously lifted both feet, then set them down again, performing a difficult maneuver."Rankyaku."The Rankyaku slash flew out. Zoro narrowed his eyes slightly, drew his twin swords to block the slash, and deflected it to the left and right.Resulting in two broken cabinets.It was then that Kaku replied with a smile, "My apologies, it's Four-Sword Style."Kaku could use Rankyaku while wielding swords with both hands, thus calling himself "Four-Sword Style."Zoro bit down on the wado ichimonji, unleashing all three swords."No problem! That means your entire body is a weapon!"Having said that, his body flashed, and he was already in front of Kaku, his right hand drawing his sword first.Kaku reacted quickly, his body floating in the air, and his right hand also drew a sword. With a clang, sparks flew as he blocked Zoro's blade.Seeing this, both men forcefully swung their swords, the blades colliding and forcing them apart.Zoro retracted his swords and prepared his stance.Kaku's body flew high again."Seventy-Two Pound Phoenix!!""Rankyaku: Hakurai!!"The sword technique was unleashed: Zoro's Spiral Pound Phoenix slash.Kaku, meanwhile, performed a large 180-degree backflip in the air and simultaneously released a Rankyaku slash—a long, vertical cut—which clashed with Zoro's spiral slash, resulting in an immediate explosion.Kaku was in the air, used Soru to appear a short distance behind Zoro, and swung his twin swords in a spinning slash toward Zoro.Zoro turned his body sideways, and his single sword, held vertically, blocked Kaku's spinning blades. Kaku's movements didn't stop, the blades cutting against each other and sparking. Kakurotated his body and moved to stand in front of Zoro.Kaku smiled. This kind of fight was exhilarating. Like Lucci, he had been holding back for five years.Zoro turned his body back, stepped forward, and his posture still looked like the Seventy-Two Pound Phoenix. Kaku confidently prepared to block with his swords.However, as he drew near, Zoro unleashed a single-sword slash. The Seventy-Two Pound Phoenix uses two swords, and the Thirty-Six Pound Phoenix uses one, but this slash by Zoro was neither the Thirty-Six Pound Phoenix."Hagoku!"
Chapter 495: Is This a Zoo?!It had been a while since they left Small Garden for the Tower of Justice. Coupled with Zoro's high swordsmanship talent, Satoru merely taught him the moves and how to exert force, and Zoro learned Hagoku.However, Hagoku, a killing move from the land of giants, was indeed very damaging to weapons.Satoru's sword transformed from a bracelet, so he didn't need to worry.Therefore, Satoru suggested that Zoro use it as little as possible before he mastered the black blade.Because once a sword is forged into a black blade, its highest realm is:"Nothing I cannot cut, nothing can cut me."The former, "Nothing I cannot cut," is the highest realm, while the latter, "Nothing can cut me," is achieved as soon as the black blade is forged.The Worlds Strongest Swordsman Hawkeyehimself said that black blades never break... As Hagoku was unleashed and the blades clashed, Kaku immediately felt something was wrong. His eyes widened, and the next second he was shaken back, crashing against the wall with a bang.Landing back on his feet, Kaku had always held his sword in reverse, so wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand wouldn't cut him."This move is the one that guy who calls himself a wish spirit used in Iceberg's office.""Who is he to you?"Kaku asked.Zoro showed a smug smile."He's the wish spirit.""He calls himself an obscure miscellaneous swordsman.""Miscellaneous swordsman?""How interesting.""I truly underestimated you. You are indeed much stronger now than you were at Galley-La Company.""But at the same time, this old man has also gained new abilities!! Let me show you!!"In front of Zoro, Kaku began to transform.The devil fruit he ate was the Zoan-type Ushi Ushi no Mi, Giraffe Model.As Zoro watched in surprise, Kaku's neck began to stretch. However, he originally intended to transform into his human-beast form, but because it was his first time using it, he transformed into his full beast form. The ground, already cracked from their sword clash, now collapsed under the weight of his beast form, and both fell below...Usopp arrived at Jabra's room. Jabra's room, though called a room, had no bed at all.Rockeries, pavilions, wooden bridges, pine and cypress trees.It was a courtyard, Usopp thought to himself.His footsteps were stealthy, not daring to make a sound, because Jabra was right ahead, lying on his side on the grass, sleeping, with the key right in front of him.Usopp tiptoed over slowly, but then a chicken suddenly passed by his right.Usopp instantly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, 'Oh no, oh no, there's no animal noisier than a chicken. If it crows, this guy will wake up!'Don't look at me! Don't look at me!!Don't crow!! Please don't crow!!However, the next second, the chicken still crowed."Chirp..."Such an unexpected sound.Usopp, who had been on edge, was so utterly dumbfounded that he couldn't help but complain."What kind of chicken crows like that!!!"Jabra was woken up by Usopp's complaint and immediately struck Usopp, making him cough up blood and retreat. Then, he transformed into his wolf form, approached, and declared that although he looked fierce, he was actually very kind.No torture, only killing.He told Usopp to just bear with it, it would be over in an instant.However, just as he was about to attack, Zoro and Kaku fell from the ceiling. It turned out that Kaku's room was directly above Jabra's room.All four were visibly surprised.Kaku explained that he had wanted to transform into his human-beast form."A giraffe!!""A giraffe is falling from the ceiling and talking!!!"Usopp's eyes widened, his understanding of reality shattered.Jabra, in contrast to surprise, laughed very happily."Ga ha ha ha!!""Kaku, your ability is so cool!!"And Zoro, seeing the giraffe Kaku, and now the wolf Jabra, couldn't help but complain."A wolf!?""What's going on here!! Is this a zoo?!!"He thought, that pigeon bastard is a leopard, and now these two are a giraffe and a wolf. Is this what CP9 is like as an organization?It seemed quite logical too.Spandam is an elephant, because all his meager fighting power is in his elephant sword.Blueno is an ox, he looks like an ox.Kalifa is a sheep, in her Awa Awa no Mi form.Fukurou is just a name; he doesn't look like an owl anyway.Kumadori... if you had to say, his Life Return wiggling hair resembles an octopus.Looking at it this way, it really is the CP9 Zoo... The four gathered together.Zoro, Sniper King vs. Kaku, Jabra.Hmm... Sniper King provided remote assistance and at this point also discovered the "divine artifact," the seastone handcuffs.Kaku was mocked by Jabra.The two started arguing.Jabra felt sorry for Kaku, thinking he would be a giraffe for the rest of his life.Kaku retorted, "What's wrong with a giraffe! What's wrong with a giraffe!! I love giraffes!!!"Zoro interrupted their argument, asking if they were going to fight or not.Kaku and Jabra looked at Zoro.Kaku answered both Zoro and Jabra."You idiots, never underestimate the destructive power of a giraffe!!""Transform, Human-Beast Form!!""Let me show you my power after my rebirth!!!"Kaku's body began to shrink.His four legs turned into two.However, while his body shrank, his neck did not.Even in human-beast form, he still had a long neck."So ugly!!"Upon seeing Kaku's human-beast form, Zorocouldn't help but blurt out. He truly couldn't help it.Zoro himself regretted saying such a superficial thing.No, it's too shocking. I must remain calm, otherwise it will affect my swordsmanship!!And Kaku's face instantly darkened upon hearing Zoro's words.Jabra, meanwhile, laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.Kaku started arguing with him again, "Damn it, how long are you going to laugh?!!"Just then, a handcuff suddenly flew over, but it clamped onto Zoro's wrist."What's with this handcuff!?"Zoro was surprised, and then Usopp's voice came from behind him."Oh no, I'm sorry! Zoro!!"Zoro said to forget about the apology for a moment."What are you doing?"Usopp explained that since both of them were devil fruit users, the handcuffs would surely be effective."I originally wanted to throw it at them, but who knew his giraffe face was so funny.""I accidentally threw it off target."
Chapter 496: "Chicken and Egg Fight""I accidentally threw it crooked."Usopp's explanation for accidentally throwing the handcuffs onto Zoro's hand was that he laughed so hard when he saw Kaku's human-beast form with its giraffe face that his aim went awry.Jabra's laughter.Zoro's, "So ugly."Usopp's, "I laughed so hard at his face that my hand threw it crooked."At this, even a clay Buddha would be angered into ceramic. Kaku declared,"You guys are too presumptuous!!"Kaku supported himself with one hand on the ground and used the centrifugal force of his giraffe neck to spin at high speed."Not good!!"Seeing this, Jabra immediately flew up using Moonwalk.Zoro also immediately turned and pounced, pushing Usopp down as well."Get down!! Usopp."The next second, Kaku, spinning to his limit, unleashed a Tempest Kick with his foot."Tempest Kick: Round Slicer!!"The slash flew over their heads. No one was hurt. It seemed as if nothing had happened?No!!The entire Tower of Justice was sliced in half, centered on Jabra's room.Jabra landed and mocked Kaku for being emotional during a fight.Kaku retorted,"Shut up! What's wrong with a giraffe! I love giraffes!!"Jabra thought, I didn't say anything about giraffes.But he knew not to provoke Kaku any further, or even he would be attacked.Although he also wanted to fight Kaku, now was clearly not the time."Alright, alright."Meanwhile, Zoro and Usopp got up from the ground. Although Kaku had sliced the entire Tower of Justice in half, Zoro declared,"That's all it is, nothing impressive...""Click."Before he could finish his sentence, Zoro heard a click and had an ominous premonition.He looked down at his arm, and sure enough, the other end of the handcuff was locked onto Usopp's hand.They were now bound together."What are you doing!! You idiot!!""Waaah!! It's not my fault!!"The two targets were tied together.It was impossible for Kaku and Jabra to cooperate and fight together.After their key numbers didn't match.Kaku and Jabra decided,"Whoever gets them first, they're theirs!!"The two instantly transformed into human-beast form and charged over.Zoro and Usopp also instinctively turned and ran."Damn it, think of something quick!!""Waaahhhhh!!"The two ran out of Jabra's room.During their escape, they encountered Chopper in his human form and asked him to help them find key number two."With these handcuffs, we're at their mercy!!""Please!! You're our only hope!!"At Usopp's words, Chopper rubbed the back of his head."Hope? I don't care for your compliments!!"Although he said that, the corners of his mouth were almost touching his temples.After they split up.Chopper recalled Zoro's last instruction.Sanji, Nami, Franky, no matter who it was, if they got key number two, they were to bring it to them.Chopper pondered for a moment and decided that Sanji was the most likely of the three to find the key first, so he transformed into his deer form and followed the scent to find Sanji.But he didn't know that Sanji wasn't the first to get the key; instead, he was the first to be defeated.Because his opponent was "invincible" to him... "Damn it!! This is no time for tea!!"Sanji shouted.Kalifa, however, calmly stated, "But you've already had three cups.""Witchcraft!! I've been bewitched!! I almost got swallowed by the tsunami of 'Love Trap'!!"Sanji fell off his chair and sat on the ground, using his hands to keep his distance from Kalifa.A honey trap, simply invincible, unless the opponent doesn't like beautiful women."Enough nonsense! I won't fall for your tricks again, witch!""I haven't forgotten how CP9 bullied Sister Robin in the carriage.""Hand over the key!"Kalifa sighed, pretending to be very disappointed."It seems you're in a hurry. Very well, come and get the key yourself.""Where is the key?"Sanji retorted.Kalifa was no longer the bespectacled secretary by Iceberg's side, but a "witch" wearing fishnet stockings."Yes, the key is hidden somewhere on my body... where could it be?""Come and find out."Reason told Sanji to find the key quickly, but emotion said,'Screw that!'"I'd be delighted to serve!!!"Sanji practically flew over, then was kicked back by Kalifa, even he himself complained,"What am I even doing..."Kalifa kindly reminded him that Robin was slowly approaching the Gate of Justice, meaning she was getting closer to hell.Sanji said she didn't need to tell him, "This concerns Sister Robin's life. If you stand in my way, even if you're a woman! I won't hold back!! If you don't want to suffer, hand over the key!!"He said it, but his foot couldn't kick down.Sanji exchanged several kicks with Kalifa, only defending. He finally landed a kick, but it stopped just beside Kalifa's face, and he coolly said,"Take this kick."Kalifa was silent, then kicked him, a "chicken and egg fight."Sanji was in so much pain that even his hair seemed to be screaming."Oh oh... oh oh oh..."So much pain he couldn't even scream, that was the most painful."You woman!!!"This was Sanji's strongest insult towards a woman.Kalifa ignored Sanji's pain, Moonwalking back and forth in the air, then kicked Sanji from behind, but Sanji bent over and dodged it.Not only did he dodge, Sanji jumped in place, rolled in the air, locked on, and stomped down!With a bang, he stomped on the floor next to Kalifa's head, and the floor shattered.The floor now regretted why it had no gender."You've been flattened by me!! Give me the key now!!"Sanji, deceiving himself.However, it was true, if it were a man, that kick would not have been light.Kalifa marveled at Sanji's speed and reaction, but she did not accept Sanji's kindness.A Finger Pistol and a Tempest Kick sent Sanji flying off her."Give me the key!!"Sanji attacked again, but looking at the direction, this kick wouldn't reach Kalifa.Kalifa directly grabbed Sanji's tie, pulling him closer."I don't want to hear your useless shouting anymore.""Let me show you something interesting.""If you don't fight back, you'll die."
Chapter 497: ChivalryIn the reception hall corridor on the first floor of the Tower of Justice, Nami confronted Kumadori.Nami thought she had shaken off Kumadori, but in the next second, her hair was entangled by Kumadori."Good, I got you!""Now, I'm thinking whether I should stab you to death or strangle you to death!"Then Kumadori began a rather incomprehensible Kabuki chant.And then, with tears, he said."When you reach that world, remember to tell my mother that I... am doing well!""Alright, go die!""Spring Melody of Love"This move was a combination attack where he used his Life Return hair to bind the enemy, then stabbed them with "Finger Pistol: Q".Finger Pistol: Q is a special Finger Pistol extension technique used by Kumadori, where he forms a circle with his index finger and thumb, then rapidly thrusts an iron staff through the circle. Even though the end of the iron staff has no sharp parts, the object hit will still have a hole punched clean through it.As everyone knows, villains die from talking too much. After Kumadori said all that, just as he was about to strike, Chopper arrived and slapped his face crooked with a Hoof Print.Although Chopper rescued Nami, Nami was also coughing up blood from being strangled. But no need to worry, in the world of pirates, coughing blood is the lightest injury.Nami told Chopper to escape now. Chopper was confused, "Aren't we getting the key?"Nami took out a key, "I got it when he wasn't paying attention."The Thief Cat's passive skill.Chopper, filled with admiration and surprise, didn't forget to ask Nami which key it was as they fled. Nami answered, but the key was number three, which was useless for Zoro and Usopp's handcuffs."What a shame, it's useless."Chopper sighed.Nami was puzzled, and just as she was about to ask what the key number was for, something crashed down in front of them."A doll?""No! It's Sanji!"Sanji, completely smooth and round, without a single edge, like an inflatable doll, fell in front of them. This was Kalifa's masterpiece."What happened? Sanji, why did you turn into a smooth glass doll, and you're seriously injured."Chopper, as a doctor, immediately checked Sanji's injuries.Nami was worried and also exclaimed, "There's such a powerful Devil Fruit Ability user in CP9, to beat Sanji like this.""Cough, cough, cough, I... I'm sorry, I... didn't win, didn't get the key."Sanji said weakly.At this moment, Nami noticed a gaze from the rooftop, looked up, and met Kalifa's eyes. Nami then knew the reason."You really... didn't win?""Did you fight seriously?""You went soft because your opponent was a woman!""For your so-called chivalry, you almost died! Do you know that!"Nami accused.Sanji lay on the ground, saying, "It's not that I want to die, but I was taught from a young age not to kick women, so...""I would rather die than kick a woman!"Although Satoru was a bit disdainful of Sanji's personality that made him unable to move when he saw a woman, as a knight and a gentleman, he was indeed qualified; he was just too rigid, which was a weakness.Nami and Chopper fell silent.Nami sighed and tapped Sanji with her clima-tact, "Idiot!"Chopper was startled, "What are you doing, Nami!""Since being a deserter also goes against chivalry, then you might as well give up one principle! Which is more important, that or your life?""Leave that woman to me, I won't go easy on her!""Also, I... have a new respect for your chivalry."As soon as Nami said this, Sanji, even in his slippery state, managed to prop himself up halfway, "Did she just say, 'I have a new respect for you'?"Chopper tapped Sanji's head with his horn to wake him up, "No!"Nami walked up the stairs, meeting Kalifa's gaze, "I'm not that gentle."Kalifa rested her chin on her palm, "Me neither... It seems we get along well."And at this moment, Kumadori caught up again, and Chopper struck once more."Hoof Print - Cross!"Both hooves struck together, leaving a cross-shaped imprint on Kumadori's abdomen. With one blow, Kumadori was beaten to the point of spitting blood.Chopper declared, "Nami, you go deal with that woman, I'll take care of this man!"...By now, everyone's final opponents had been confirmed, except for Sanji, Luffy, and Satoru.Sanji was still in his slippery state.Satoru was still 'escorting' Robin.As for Luffy, after his small boat capsized, he was thrashing in the sea, almost full of water.On shore, Chimney and Gonbe, who had followed Lucci and the others here, saw Luffy thrashing and shouted anxiously."Wow! Pirate big brother! What are you doing!""Meow meow!"Just as Chimney and Gonbe were trying to figure something out, at a critical moment, Forest Mask Bai Yun arrived, walking on air.Looking at Luffy thrashing in the sea, Forest Mask Bai Yun only thought, 'My foolish little brother.'"Luffy, give me your hand, be careful not to drag me down."Bringing Luffy back to shore, Forest Mask Bai Yuntold Gonbe to jump on Luffy's stomach.When Gonbe jumped, Luffy's mouth spewed a jet of water like a fountain. Now that it was out, he felt better."Thank you, Masked Satoru, Cat-Rabbit, I feel much better."Luffy couldn't distinguish Satoru's ever-changing identities, so he called him by his current features. If he was dressed like the usual Satoru, then he was Main Body Satoru! Yes, that's how it was.Forest Mask Bai Yun shook his head, "You didn't even think, how could such a small boat make it across, and you're a Devil Fruit Ability user.""But Robin was taken over there! If we don't hurry, we won't be able to save her!""If I'm not mistaken, little Chimney, and Gonbe, you know how to get there."Forest Mask Bai Yun said."Really?"Luffy sprang up.Chimney looked surprised and adoring, "That's right, big brother, how did you know?!""Just a guess. Alright, take us there."Forest Mask Bai Yun replied... Chimney led Luffyand Forest Mask Bai Yun to the entrance of the underwater passage, an iron door painted with the World Government symbol."It's very hard, this door."Forest Mask Bai Yun knocked on the door; it made a metallic sound.Chimney said Spandam opened it with a key."But there's no key.""Masked Satoru, move aside, I'll do it!"Luffy bit his thumb, intending to use his not-yet-fully-mastered Gear Three, Balloon Bone.Forest Mask Bai Yun smiled in return, placed his hand on the door, and activated his Dark-Dark FruitAbility; the entire door was absorbed.The clone can choose one of the six devil fruitAbilities possessed by the bracelet: fifteen minutes during the day, thirty minutes on a moonlit night.The six devil fruit Abilities replicated by the bracelet haven't been updated in a long time; they are still the Light-Heavy Fruit, Bomb-Bomb Fruit, Human-Human Fruit, Flower-Flower Fruit, Mera Mera no Mi, and Dark-Dark Fruit."Save your strength, Luffy. Lucci, that pigeon-raising bastard, and Robin and I, Spandam, are on this path. Go chase them, save me and Robin.""I'll go wander somewhere else, after all, someone is making a wish."After absorbing the iron door directly, Forest Mask Bai Yun said to Luffy.Luffy nodded firmly, running inside and saying, "I'll definitely bring you and Robin back!"Watching his retreating figure, Forest Mask Bai Yunturned and left, calling Chimney."Let's go, I'll take you back to your grandma."
Chapter 498: I'm Here to Eat"Mwahahaha, thank you, Satoru, for bringing my precious granddaughter and little Kunbei back."Although Kokoro was always tipsy, she played an indispensable role in the Enies Lobby invasion plan, and her mind was very clear. Even though she didn't know about Satoru's clone abilities, she knew that Forest Mask and wish spirit were all Satoru."You're welcome, Kokoro. You and Chimney are both great heroes in this operation.""Meow meow.""Of course, and you too, Kunbei."Patting little Kunbei's head, Satoru really liked these strange animals. A rabbit that meowed wasn't common."Well then, Kokoro, you should hide for now.""Mwahahaha, alright, don't worry about us. Although the World Government isn't much, they wouldn't attack old people and children. If you have something to do, go ahead.""Want a drink?"Kokoro generously offered the wine bottle in her hand.Forest Mask Bai Yun's back of the head dripped with'sweat' (a common visual gag for embarrassment in manga/anime), "You're too kind, I don't drink."With that, Forest Mask Bai Yun turned and flew away... The scene shifted to Franky and Fukurou's battle.The two were exchanging punches.Even though their eyes rolled back with each punch, they still endured the pain to taunt each other."Your punches aren't strong enough.""That's not a fist, that's a waistband!!"However, in their engrossed punching match, they also smashed through the kitchen wall and entered the kitchen.Door: Sometimes I feel so redundant.Author: So you don't want to be crashed into?Door: Pretend I didn't say anything, haha... Inside the kitchen, to Franky and Fukurou's right was an oversized refrigerator."Great, we finally made it into the kitchen!""Wow! There's such a big refrigerator here."Franky was eager to get a cola from the refrigerator, but at that moment, Kumadori, hitting Chopper, also smashed through the wall next to the refrigerator and entered the kitchen."Damn it, I used the rumble ball too early, three minutes have passed."Three minutes ago, Chopper could leave a cross mark on Kumadori's abdomen. Three minutes later, he could only be beaten into the kitchen by Kumadori, even in his Heavy Point form."Your life, which you've retrieved for the third time, is about to end!! Die!! Yo-ho-ho-ho!!"Kumadori was still noisy, spinning his metal staff a few times over his head but not striking down. Just as he was about to strike, Chopper pried open the refrigerator door, and Kumadori crashed right into it. Chopper immediately got up and shut Kumadoriinside."Great, it's locked!""Great, he's locked up!"Chopper raised his hands and cheered.Fukurou, meanwhile, shouted worriedly, "Kumadori!" After all, they were colleagues.Franky was shocked, "Hey, I still need to use that!""Hey, hey!! Gorilla, I still need to use that refrigerator!!"When Franky shouted, Chopper finally noticed someone else was there and was startled."Waaahhh!! CP9 and a punk!!""I'm Franky, we're comrades!!"Franky replied.And Chopper also reacted, "Who are you calling a gorilla!!"Franky retorted angrily."Your reaction is too slow!!""I know you're Franky, a punk, a shipwright. Satorutold me."Chopper returned to the first question.Franky couldn't keep up with his train of thought."Never mind, this isn't the time to talk about that. Do you want to save Robin!!"Speaking of saving Robin, Chopper cried again, "Of course I do, boohoo...""Then quickly get me three bottles of cola from the refrigerator!! That way I'll gain power and immediately defeat them to get the key!!"Franky said, his hair was flat, he was indeed weak.As a doctor, Chopper couldn't believe it."Who gets energy from drinking cola!!""That person is me!! Hurry up!!"Franky yelled back.Fukurou, behind him, finally spoke up."How long are you going to argue? And you even dream of drinking beverages in battle!! How rude!!""Beast Evasion Secret Art: Fukurou's Wild Punches"This move was an enhanced version of Fukurou's Beast Evasion. It first created multiple clones, then besieged the enemy with continuous punches, and was an extension of Finger Pistol.Franky covered his head to block, only able to throw one punch because he had no energy, "Bean Left Punch!!"A super weakened version of Weapon Left Punch, the bean hit Fukurou's face. Fukurou was enraged, 'What do you mean? Looking down on me, are you!?'"What was that!!"Fukurou knocked Franky down with a punch.Chopper also reacted."Ah, right! He's my comrade now! Let's do as he says. As long as I quickly open and close it, he won't be able to get out."As Chopper spoke and was about to do so, a bottle of drink was automatically thrown out of the refrigerator.Because, when Kumadori was locked in the refrigerator, someone was already inside... "Yo-ho-ho-ho!! Long-Haired Bai Yun~ How are you here~"The person inside the refrigerator was none other than Satoru, or rather, a Satoru clone, sitting in the middle, eating steak and drinking red wine.Satoru currently had six clones: one was Forest Mask Bai Yun, one was with Ace, and one was riding the waves with the going merry.There were still three left, so you should never be surprised where Satoru might appear from.Other than a toilet, any other place is possible, even inside someone's stomach, for example, if he accidentally swallowed a bullet."Can't you see? I'm here to eat."The Satoru in the refrigerator, let's call him Ice Bai Yun.Ice Bai Yun replied as such.Kumadori was clearly stunned for a moment, "No, didn't you and the commanders~ go to escort Nico Robin~"Kumadori always spoke with a Kabuki accent."Oh dear, you found me out. In that case, I can't let you leave."Ice Bai Yun pretended to be flustered at being discovered, but his mouth didn't stop, continuing to eat his steak."Yo-ho-ho-ho♦ What do you mean♦!"Kumadori raised his staff and aimed it at Ice Bai Yun."Nothing. Your opponent isn't me.""Actually, if you want to leave, I won't stop you."Ice Bai Yun's words confused Kumadori. What did this kid mean? He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.Kumadori didn't reply, walking directly to get food. He was badly beaten by Chopper during the three-minute rumble ball duration, so he needed to eat some food and use Life Return to recover his energy.However, as he reached for the food, an arm suddenly appeared and snatched it away first.Kumadori's eyes widened. Isn't this Nico Robin's ability?!!He turned to look and saw Ice Bai Yun resting his elbows on the table, his palms crossed facing Kumadori.The condition for using the Flower-Flower Fruit is to cross one's hands; the direction the palms face doesn't matter.
Chapter 499: Yes, I Am Nico RobinInside the refrigerator, Kumadori couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Ice Bai Yun using Robin's Devil Fruit Ability.The Marine's understanding of Satoru was still limited to Alabasta, and they weren't very familiar with Satoru's Devil Fruit Ability. Otherwise, Satoru's bounty might have been more than 80 million.Among the entire Marine, perhaps only Garp knew Satoru's Devil Fruit Ability best."Yo-yo-yi! Isn't this Nico Robin's ability?!"Kumadori exclaimed in surprise.Ice Bai Yun nodded, "Yes, I am Nico Robin."Kumadori's eyes widened."Impossible! Lucci is with her, and Nico Robin is wearing seastone handcuffs! There's no way she could escape!"Kumadori didn't believe Ice Bai Yun's nonsense.Ice Bai Yun replied, "You're right.""But it's a fact that I can use the Flower-Flower Fruit's ability.""This..."Kumadori was confused again. Just then, the refrigerator opened a crack, and Ice Bai Yun used a blooming arm to throw out a bottle of drink, which seemed to be iced coffee."Eh?!""This refrigerator actually has this function!"Chopper, looking at the drink that landed in his hand, was very surprised, but he didn't forget to throw the drink to Franky."Franky! Catch!"Franky kicked Fukurou away with both feet, immediately caught the drink, and drank it."I'm revived!""Revived, my foot! It's so bitter!!!"Franky's hair turned into the character for 'bitter' from the taste, and his expression was as wrinkled as the character for '囧'.Fukurou was speechless, and with a straight punch, he used Beast Power to send him flying back.Franky got back up and threw the iced coffee back to Chopper."What is this stuff?! I don't need to be refreshed, I want cola!!!""But, this..."Chopper didn't know how to explain. Just then, another drink flew out of the refrigerator, and Chopper reached out to catch it."But what? Hurry up!"Franky urged him, and Chopper threw the drink over again."Catch!""Alright!"Franky caught it, tilted his head back, and drank it, his hair instantly shrinking."What a disheartening... sour taste!""It's like drinking pickled plum juice, climbing a pickled plum mountain, and meeting a pickled plum grandma! So sour!!!""You idiot!"Franky threw the concentrated pickled plum juice back to Chopper.Chopper wasn't surprised this time; instead, he found Franky... very interesting!Including Ice Bai Yun, who threw the drinks from the refrigerator. Franky had originally drunk spinach juice and tea, and his reactions were also very interesting. Throwing these two was to see what kind of reaction he would have, and sure enough, his hair didn't disappoint."Hey! [Your expression clearly says 'give him other drinks to see what other reactions he'll have']!""Damn deer! There won't be a next time!""No, no, no, that's just your imagination."Chopper replied, his eyes sparkling.However, this time Ice Bai Yun indeed threw out cola. After Chopper caught it, he threw it to Franky."These are colas, right?!""Yes, thanks!"Finally, it was cola. Franky jumped up and caught his "source of life."Fukurou didn't know why Franky kept asking for cola. In any case, hitting him was the right thing to do."Hmm? What are you up to? But you won't succeed!""Rankyaku!"Fukurou's Rankyaku slash hit Franky directly in the back.His back was flesh, and Franky screamed in pain."Uwaaahhh!!!"However, after falling to the ground, he instantly got up, leaning his body, pressing his arms together, and loudly declared."SUPER!!!""Chappapa, is that all? Drinking cola isn't that impressive, huh?"Fukurou looked at Franky striking this strange pose. Is that all? Is that all after drinking cola? He thought there would be some big move.Meanwhile, Franky struck a punching pose, his hair also perked up, and declared."Fool, prepare your defenses.""Chappapa, it's just a soft punch...""Strong Hammer!"As Fukurou spoke, Franky punched him in the abdomen. The huge impact made Fukurou's eyes roll back, blood spurted from his mouth, his rounded body bent like a shrimp, and he flew out, smashing through the wall and landing directly on the balcony.Chopper was so shocked that snot came out, "Woah-oh-oh!!!"Franky was very satisfied with this punch and said, "Sorry, my previous punches were indeed soft."Chopper suddenly realized and took this opportunity to tell Franky about Zoro and Usoppneeding the number two key."How annoying, I understand the situation now."Franky acknowledged.At this moment, Fukurou got up again."Chappa! I'm getting angry!!! Chappapapa!!"Chopper marveled at Fukurou's resilience. Frankytold him to just stand there and watch.Then he pulled down his shirt, revealing his shoulders. His shoulders were tattooed with text: "BF" on the right shoulder and "37" on the left, meaning "Franky Battle 37." At this moment, his shoulders suddenly protruded, with two cannon barrels on them.The design looked like "But it's snow~"... This move was called:"Franky Radical Beam!""It hurts. Every time I use this move, I'm prone to dislocation, so I don't like using it."Franky complained.Chopper said, "Then don't use it!""Chappapapa! You fool, for someone who can use Six Powers, cannonballs will never hit them!"Fukurou was not at all afraid of Franky's Radical Beam.But Franky showed a smug, delinquent smile."No matter where you hide, you can't escape my Franky Radical Beam.""Because these cannonballs have a tracking function!"At these words, not only Fukurou but also Chopperwas shocked.He thought, "Tracking cannonballs? I've never seen them before. Franky actually has them? What is he...?" Just as Chopper was marveling at Franky's technological prowess.Franky started firing cannons while following Fukurou."You stop right there!"It turned out that he wasn't actually firing tracking bullets, but Franky was attacking while chasing the enemy."So you're the one doing the tracking!!!"Chopper was both shocked and speechless, feeling his emotions had been wasted."Damn it, you dare to trick me!"Fukurou's figure flashed and disappeared.Franky looked around but couldn't see him.Fukurou began to boast, stating that he was a master of Soru, faster than lightning, and his movements were as silent as an owl, which is why he was called Soundless Fukurou."I am the perfect assassin. The target can only see me the moment they are killed... Oh-oh!!"As Fukurou was speaking, he was punched by Chopper.Chopper found his hiding place by relying on his sense of smell, as Fukurou couldn't constantly be moving. If he were, he would need incredible speed to move so fast that his figure was completely invisible.
Chapter 500: Nose StormFukurou was hit by Chopper, exposing his location. His expression was both embarrassed and disbelieving.Chopper immediately reminded Franky, "He's hiding here!"Franky looked over and only saw Fukurou's zippered mouth forming a rhombus."He seems incredibly surprised...""Damn it! I've never suffered such humiliation! I am CP9!"Fukurou first jumped off the ground, spinning his body at high speed to get away from Chopper and Franky. Then, combining it with Soru, he rapidly turned towards Franky's chest and used Tekkai!"Tekkai: Tamatebako!"At this moment, all the force of the attack converged at the very tip. After hitting Franky, the power generated by the high-speed rotation delivered a powerful blow. He smashed through the wall with Franky and then rushed out another three meters, causing both of them to fall into the sea. Fortunately, neither of them was a Devil Fruit user.Moreover, there was a waterfall nearby; if they didn't get out quickly, they would fall down.Chopper was anxious but helpless."If they get swept away, they'll fall right down the waterfall!""I can't go into the sea!""Go, Franky!"Having fallen into the sea, all Chopper could do was cheer.At this moment, Chopper heard a crashing sound from behind.The refrigerator door opened, and Kumadori was kicked out by Ice Bai Yun. Then the refrigerator door closed again, blocking the view. Chopper didn't see Ice Bai Yun and thought,"This refrigerator has so many functions; it can even throw people out."Actually, inside the refrigerator just now, no matter what food Kumadori wanted to take, Ice Bai Yunwould first take it away with his blooming arm.Kumadori felt he was being played and attacked Satoru, then he was kicked out.Ice Bai Yun said, "Wouldn't it have been better to attack me sooner? You could have gotten out earlier. Anyway, you won't get a single bite of food."...Back to Franky and Fukurou in the water.Fukurou was very proud; even if he was swept down by the waterfall, he could escape with Moonwalk, but Franky couldn't.Franky surfaced and saw another Satoru rowing a boat past him.The Satoru who was rowing the boat, let's call him Ship Bai Yun."Long-Haired Man! How are you here?!"Franky was surprised."Do you need help?"Ship Bai Yun didn't answer but asked in return."Of course! Yes! I don't want to drown here!"Franky immediately replied. Was there any need to hesitate?But Ship Bai Yun said, "Oh, I can't help much. The boat is too small, and I'm not here to save you.""However, I can help you get a little further from the waterfall."With that, Ship Bai Yun grabbed Franky's spiky bangs and swung him towards Fukurou, who was flying away with Moonwalk."Ah! Ouch! Damn Long-Haired Man!!!"Franky's hair hurt terribly from being pulled, but he didn't forget to grab Fukurou's foot."What?!"Fukurou was pulled, and his body immediately dropped a certain height, scaring him half to death. He quickly stomped his foot in the air to stabilize himself."Let go of me! Using Moonwalk with one foot can't support two people!""We're going to fall!"Franky said, "Then take me back to shore before we fall.""Do you want to fight me while supporting my weight? Hmph, the outcome is obvious, although I'll also be seriously injured.""So, we're in the same boat now. Let's get to shore quickly."Fukurou listened to Franky and actually agreed."Alright, let's get to shore first. But the moment we land, that's the moment we decide the winner.""Chappappa, because I just thought of a way to defeat you in one move!"Fukurou was very confident.Franky smiled in response, "Me too, Brother Fukurou.""Hurry up and take me to shore so I can kill you in one move."Franky urged.Fukurou frowned, "No need for your nagging! I'll make sure that stinking mouth of yours can't utter another word immediately!""Super Spin: Tekkai: Tamatebako!"Fukurou swung Franky, performing the horizontal impact version of Tekkai: Tamatebako, rapidly sending Franky crashing towards the Tower of Justice's spire."At this speed, we'll crash into the spire!"Franky spun as he was swung, "Indeed, if I crash like this, I'll be shattered to pieces."But Franky was not flustered."Franky Centaur!"He used the four legs of his centaur form to clamp Fukurou's body, getting on top of him, but this couldn't stop Fukurou's rotation."It's useless, this speed can't be stopped now!"Fukurou said proudly.Franky's lips curled, "That's not necessarily true.""70mm Caliber: 0.2 Liter Cola Cannon!""Small Coup de Vent!"Franky fired a Small Coup de Vent in the opposite direction of Fukurou's spin. The explosive force, combined with Franky's four legs firmly gripping Fukurou, forcibly stopped Fukurou's rotation."What?! The speed is slowing down!"Fukurou felt it was unbelievable.Franky's actions didn't stop. Once Fukurou was below and he was above, he declared, "Now the shore is below us.""Take this! 70mm Caliber: 1.5 Liter Cola Cannon!""Super!""Coup de Vent!"A Coup de Vent, powerful enough to destroy a sailboat, erupted against Fukurou's chest.The massive impact made Fukurou's eyes roll back. The moment Franky fired, he simultaneously released his four legs. Fukurou's entire body slammed onto a balcony floor of the Tower of Justice, sinking three feet deep, spitting blood, and fainting.After Blueno, another CP9 agent was defeated.Franky fell from the sky, his mouth wide open, "SUPER!!!"Then he landed headfirst... Meanwhile, Zoro and Usopp ran in a circle and returned to Jabra's room. Zoro felt this wasn't working."I have an idea. Let's play rock-paper-scissors, Sniper King.""What?!""The loser cuts off their hand. That way, we can break free from the handcuffs, and then take the arm to Chopper to reattach."Usopp couldn't believe what he was hearing."People aren't dolls! Are you crazy?!"Zoro fell silent, then suddenly had another flash of inspiration."I have another idea.""I don't want to hear it!"Usopp predicted.It turned out he was right."Hold on tight, Sniper King, you are now a'sword'."Zoro grabbed Usopp, and Usopp grabbed a sword, and thus the limited-edition sword, "Nose Storm," was born."I want a lawyer! I'll sue you someday!""Chopper, hurry up!"Usopp felt utterly panicked. My life matters too!
Chapter 501: MonsterUsopp had turned into the famous sword, Nose Storm. He only hoped Chopper could quickly retrieve the number two key.Speaking of Chopper, let's switch the scene back to him. Kumadori had just been kicked out of the refrigerator by Ice Bai Yun.Satoru, everywhere... "Damn it! You deceiver, you deserve to be hanged!!"Kumadori cursed at the refrigerator.From Chopper's perspective, it was quite foolish.Kumadori also noticed Chopper."You deer-man, you're still here!! Then I'll deal with you first!!""Sleeping in mountains for a thousand years, sitting by the sea for a thousand years! Enduring wind and dew, walking the path of an immortal!!""Finally mastering Life Return!!!""From the hair, internal organs, to the sweat on the tips of my toes... I can permeate my consciousness into every part of a person's body at will!! As long as my mind is unified, my entire body is under my control!!""Although there's no food to convert, it's enough to execute you!!"Kumadori didn't make a move, just spouted a lot of verbose nonsense again.Chopper extracted the key point, "Permeating consciousness even into hair, I think I read about it in a book, something called... consciousness training.""Your hair wiggling like an octopus, that's the effect of this ability, isn't it?"Kumadori was not pleased to hear that."Yo yo yi!!! To call me an octopus!! How rude!! I am a mighty Lion!!!""Majestic... Powerful... Strong!!!"Hearing Kumadori's words, Ice Bai Yun in the refrigerator almost continued, "A galloping steed..."Some DNA was stirred.Back to business.Kumadori finally made his move."Life Return: Hair Binding Technique"His hair, like octopus tentacles, could freely extend, retract, and writhe to grab Chopper. This was Kumadori's usual method of trapping opponents; it was the same move that trapped Nami earlier.Chopper immediately transformed into his deer form and fled, "It'll be bad if I get caught."Kumadori used Soru to flash onto the ceiling, then used "Finger Pistol: Q!" from above on Chopper.The metal staff struck the ground, causing it to crack.Chopper thought, 'Good thing I dodged.'Kumadori landed and attacked Chopper's back furiously."Finger Pistol: Q!""Q!!""Q!!"He unleashed a flurry of Qs.But his deer form was when Chopper was most agile, and he dodged all of Kumadori's attacks.However, Chopper also knew that simply dodging wouldn't defeat Kumadori.Gritting his teeth, he transformed into his Heavy Point and punched Kumadori in the face."Iron Body!!"However, after hitting, Chopper's hand was even more injured."So painful!!!"Chopper now understood that without using Arm Point, he couldn't defeat Kumadori.However, with Chopper's current strength, taking three rumble balls in a day would cause him to lose consciousness.The first one was fully mastered.With the second one, the wavelength of his transformation would be chaotic, and Choppercouldn't control the form of his transformation at will. There was only a one-seventh chance of accurately transforming into Arm Point.Hit directly in the face by Chopper's punch, Kumadori was furious. Even though he wasn't severely injured, it was insulting."I'll skewer you!!!""Lion's Birch Blazing!!"Flames erupted from Kumadori's metal staff. With this flame buff, he could then use "Finger Pistol: Q" to attack, or even shoot fireballs generated from the metal staff at his opponent.Chopper turned and fled, taking the second rumble ball. However, his transformations repeatedly failed, and he was continuously struck by Kumadori."You animal, you're really troublesome!!""Life Return: Lion Finger Pistol!!"Kumadori used "Life Return" to transform his hair into many hands with extended fingers, simultaneously launching a barrage of Finger Pistols at Chopper.After this move, Chopper lay on the ground, with several bloody holes in his body."A lion's gaping maw knows no mercy!!!"Kumadori shouted, with a sense of 'now you know my power'.Chopper lay on his side on the ground. Although his body was in pain, he knew this was his last chance and he had to seize it.Kumadori brought his staff down, and Chopperdodged, but still didn't transform into Arm Point."Lion's Birch Blazing!!"Kumadori pursued, Chopper dodged, and the transformation failed.He continuously dodged, attempting to transform three times, but still didn't succeed."Huff huff... What's going on? Why can't I transform!!""My body can't hold on much longer."Chopper was panting heavily; other transformations also required stamina, and time was running out."Hurry up and transform into Arm Point!!"As if his words held power, this time, Choppersuccessfully transformed into Arm Point."Wow! It worked? When did it change?""Never mind!! I'll bet everything on this move!!"Chopper brought his hooves together and actively approached Kumadori."Lion Finger Pistol!!"Kumadori brought down his Lion Finger Pistol. Chopper's eyes were firm, not avoiding it at all, because he wasn't afraid!Even if he coughed up blood, he would rush to Kumadori's front.Kumadori felt something was wrong and immediately used, "Iron Body: Steel!!""Hoof Mark: Cherry Blossom Blizzard!!!"This was Chopper's self-proclaimed strongest technique.With multiple heavy blows from his hooves, leaving many cherry blossom-like hoof prints on Kumadori's body, the cumulative power was so immense that even Kumadori, who was using Iron Body: Steel, was blown away.The invincible Iron Body was broken again.Fall down, this is my strongest attack!!Kumadori was sent flying backward, spitting blood, and Chopper collapsed, hoping that Kumadoriwould fall as well.However, Kumadori still endured. Although heavily injured and with blood smeared on his face, he was still standing."Oh dear... Oh dear... What beautiful cherry blossoms are dancing...""I can't... take it anymore!!!""Lion's Roar, Five Thunders Striking the Peak!!""Yo yo yi!!""Lion's Roaring Thunder!!"Kumadori kicked Chopper into the air, then punched him towards the ground, causing the ground to shatter.Then followed up with a series of attacks."Tempest Kick: Lotus Flower!!"A special Tempest Kick extension technique that emits a large number of slashing waves, but its power is not as high as a single full "Tempest Kick: Disorder".It's the difference between continuous attack and burst attack."Life Return: Hair Binding Technique"After a flurry of attacks, Kumadori tied up Chopper, intending to deliver a fatal blow.Ice Bai Yun, observing in the shadows, gripped his own arm to prevent himself from interfering.Everyone needs to grow; he can help for a while, but not forever."Come on, Chopper."Ice Bai Yun knew that Chopper was about to activate his uncontrolled monster form. He was there to help Chopper calm down after defeating Kumadori.Kumadori chanted again, but the words were different from the Spring Chant of Love, so this move was called."Life Return: Willow Chant of Love!!"However, the moment the metal staff struck, Chopper's Heavy Point body reverted, instantly breaking free from Kumadori's hair restraints.As he fell from the air, Chopper took the third rumble ball.Even though Dr. Kureha had warned him of the seriousness, taking the third rumble ball would turn Chopper into a monster, a true monster.
Chapter 502: I Am OmnipresentHe recalled Dr. Kureha's warning.Within a day, the third rumble ball would turn him into a monster, a monster that wouldn't recognize anyone, that would lose consciousness, be unable to control itself, and would rampage and destroy until it collapsed from exhaustion and died.But at this point, Chopper had no other choice. To defeat Kumadori, to get the key and save Robin!!As he fell gravely injured, Chopper ate the third rumble ball, praying in his heart that no one else would come into the room.The transformation was almost instantaneous, expanding like a balloon.Tiny Chopper instantly became gigantic, like a giant.His form was that of a Human-Beast, with horns on his head, fur on his body, and reinforced legs, weight, fur, arm strength, and horn strength in all parts. His power was extraordinary, but unfortunately, he couldn't control it freely yet.Kumadori's nose dripped with snot in shock, but Chopper turned and walked away, completely ignoring him.Kumadori felt looked down upon. He gripped his metal staff tightly and resolutely flew up using Moonwalk."Tempest Kick: Lotus!"A series of Tempest Kick slashes struck Chopper's back, merely tickling him.Chopper slowly turned his head. This time, Kumadori didn't even bother with an incantation, directly thrusting his metal staff, "Willow Chant—""Bang!!!"Before he could finish his word, Kumadori was directly slammed to the ground by Chopper, who then wildly pummeled him.By the time Chopper stopped, Kumadori had already lost consciousness. Chopper then grabbed Kumadori's head and continued walking.The third CP9 member was defeated... Zoro and Usopp were still running. Although Usopp had transformed into the famous sword [Nose Storm], each swing would cost 0.1 of Usopp, so Zoro couldn't attack well and could only flee and defend.So, Usopp still shouted, "Chopper!!!" hoping Chopper would quickly return with the key.As for Chopper, he was now holding Kumadori and walked to the balcony of the Tower of Justice. His mind was confused; he only knew he had to find Zoro and Sniper King, but he had forgotten who they were, though he knew he had to find them.So he came to this balcony, preparing to climb the Tower of Justice.But then, a pair of shoes appeared in front of Chopper, tapping the ground. His gaze moved upward, and it was naturally Ice Bai Yun."Chopper, do you choose to sober up, or shall I help you sober up?"Ice Bai Yun said with a smile.Chopper stared at Satoru with blank, vacant eyes, then flicked his arm, throwing Kumadori towards the main island of Enies Lobby. There, the Franky Family and Pauly's shipwrights had already been captured, as they were only about 50 people and couldn't possibly deal with thousands of Enies Lobby guards. When Kumadori was thrown over, the guards couldn't believe it either."He's one of the CP9 officers!""No way! He was thrown over! He's so badly injured!""What on earth happened over there?!"Back to the Tower of Justice.After throwing Kumadori, Chopper raised his palm and slammed it down on Ice Bai Yun.Ice Bai Yun's figure flickered, dodging the attack.However, Franky, who had just climbed up behind him, only caught a glimpse of the giant Chopperbefore being slammed down."What the hell is going on?!"Franky complained.As he fell, he guessed based on the monster's appearance."Could that be the Reindeer?!""Impossible!"He rolled over with a bang, Franky landing face-first, but his front was steel, so he wasn't badly hurt.As he got up, facing the sea, he saw the giant Chopper being thrown from the top of the tower and falling into the sea."What?!"Franky was dumbfounded. What was happening?!Just now, when Franky was slammed down, Chopper and Ice Bai Yun were on the balcony.The only mental ability Satoru currently possessed was the "Low-Level Hypnosis Technique" replicated from Jango, Kuro's subordinate.Ice Bai Yun tried to hypnotize Chopper, but it was useless. He couldn't enter Chopper's consciousness, which meant the hypnosis technique was too low-level."Then I apologize, Chopper."Having no other choice, Ice Bai Yun could only use his Flower-Flower Fruit Ability. Countless blossoming arms stacked into a large arm, grabbing one of Chopper's legs and pulling it forward. Chopper lost his balance and fell backward. Ice Bai Yun stepped forward."Hagoku!"He unleashed a Hagoku hand-blade, and Chopper's body was sent flying by the shock. But because it was a clone, the power wasn't enough to send the now giant Chopper into the sea. Ice Bai Yun was seen stepping forward and flying, spinning, and then delivering a Nine Heavens Thunder Double Kick to Chopper's back. Air Compression Techniqueerupted, and with another round of impact, this time, his bones were enough to send Chopper flying onto the sea surface, falling rapidly, which was the scene Franky witnessed.Although Franky was surprised, he immediately thought, Chopper is also a devil fruit user! Wouldn't falling into the sea be the end for him?!He then thought of jumping down to save Chopper, but at that moment, Ice Bai Yun came down."No need, big iron man, someone will save Chopper.""Long-Haired Man?""Why are you here?!""Weren't you following Nico Robin?""What was with the rowing just now?""And what was with that wish spirit?"Franky turned into a hundred thousand questions.Ice Bai Yun gestured for Franky to look at the sea surface. There, a diligent fisherman was pulling in his net. He had caught a little deer today, a bountiful harvest indeed.Franky's gaze followed, gradually locking on. Wasn't that fisherman Ship Bai Yun, who had just thrown himself up by his hair?!"Another one!!!?"Franky's eyes widened in shock.He turned to look at Ice Bai Yun, who smiled."I am omnipresent.""Just leave Chopper to that me.""Nami, that short-haired, lightly dressed girl, is on... the third floor from the top. You can go meet up with her. Then, to get through the sea to the Gate of Justice, you can go to the back of the tower; there are people there to guide you."After speaking, Ice Bai Yun transformed into a bullet right in front of Franky and fell to the ground. Creating clones consumed a lot of the Main Body's stamina; the more clones, the more stamina consumed. Disbanding them when no longer needed was the correct choice.Franky watched the bullet on the ground with his mouth agape, then picked it up and examined it closely."This guy is even stranger than me. What kind of ability is this?""Never mind. Nami, that girl, third floor..."After noting the location, Franky started climbing the stairs again, hoping there wouldn't be any more unexpected twists this time... Beneath the underwater passage between the Tower of Justiceand the Gate of Justice.Spandam and his group had already reached the exit. As long as they went up the stairs, they would be on the Bridge of Hesitation.Actually, the passage was also part of the bridge, just that a section was underwater, and the other half in front of the Gate of Justice was above the sea.Because Robin stopped.So Spandam explained to her."Once you cross the remaining half of that bridge and enter the Gate of Justice, and the gate closes, you will never have another chance.""You will pay the price for the sins you committed before.""Hahahaha, don't be naive, no one will come to save you!!"However, as Spandam's words fell, Luffy's voice came from the passage."Robin!!!"
Chapter 503: Grow Strong!When they were almost at the end of the underwater passage, Robin stopped. She seemed to have heard Luffy's voice.Indeed, she had.Not only her.Satoru heard it too.Lucci was the same, a smile gracing his lips. A fight would be best; everyone else was battling. Aside from having to protect that idiot Spandam, it was incredibly boring.Only the idiot Spandam hadn't heard it. Seeing Robin stop, he mocked her, asking if she was scared to death. Too late! Once she passed through the Gate of Justice, she would never have another chance.But as his words fell, he was immediately slapped in the face."Robin!!!"Luffy's shout echoed through the passage. Judging by the volume, he wasn't far."What!!!"Spandam's eyes widened in fear, snot running down his face."What?! How... how could I hear a voice?!!"Meanwhile, Lucci was already itching for a fight. He turned and said,"Sir, you should take Nico Robin and leave first.""Alright! Alright!"Spandam immediately agreed, looking utterly terrified. Little did he know, his nightmare would only begin after Lucci left.From Luffy's perspective.Luffy was running through the passage and arrived at a room at the end, where there was a door."A door?""It doesn't seem to be made of iron."Realizing the door wasn't iron, Luffy flew up and kicked it to pieces.Inside the door, Lucci stood before another door. Beyond this door was the ascending spiral staircase that led to the latter part of the Bridge of Hesitation."The space has widened. What is this place!?"Luffy was confused, but his gaze immediately locked onto Lucci.Lucci grabbed the brim of his hat, revealing a battle-hungry smile. "Welcome..."Luffy glared. "Ah! The pigeon guy!!!"...Enies Lobby, inside the Tower of Justice.Here's the current situation for everyone:On the fourth floor, in Jabra's room: Zoro, Sniper King vs. Kaku, Jabra.Jabra and Kaku possessed Key No. 1 and Key No. 5.The fifth floor (which Ice Bai Yun and Frankypreviously called the third floor from the top) was Kalifa's room.Nami vs. Kalifa. Kalifa held the life-saving key for Zoro and the Sniper, Key No. 2.As for Kumadori's Key No. 3, it had been stolen... oh no, 'taken' by Nami from the very beginning.Franky, holding Key No. 4, was climbing the stairs, rushing towards Nami.Inside the room at the pillar of the Bridge of Hesitation.The showdown between the two commanders.Luffy vs. Lucci.Meanwhile, Sanji had been washed into a slippery state by Kalifa and was leaning against the reception area on the first floor.At this moment, a pair of feet appeared in Sanji's vision. He wanted to look up to see if it was an enemy or a comrade, but he had no strength.Kalifa's Devil Fruit Ability was quite overpowered; it could even wash away strength. The touched feet couldn't even stand. However, contact was also simple: Haki was superior to devil fruits. Haoshokuand Armament Haki could negate devil fruitabilities. If one didn't have these two types of Haki, then simply rinsing with water would suffice."Oh my, Sanji, how did you become so slippery? Is chivalry really more important than life?"Hearing this voice, Sanji knew it was Satoru, with that annoying "Oh my" tone."Satoru...""Mhm, it's me.""Life always needs some persistence. This is my persistence."Sanji replied.Forest Mask Bai Yun was holding a showerhead and spraying water on Sanji."I don't understand, but we are comrades, and I support you.""Now, grow strong, 'Sanji Flower'."As the water from the showerhead drenched Sanji, the invisible [Golden Bubble] was washed away, and Sanji's body returned to normal, no longer slippery."I'm growing!!!"Sanji suddenly stood up, feeling full of strength.Forest Mask Bai Yun hadn't expected Sanji to play along so well with that line."…""…""Cough, cough, want one?"Sanji's way of fully recovering was to smoke a cigarette. He knew Satoru also smoked, so asking was polite."No, I'm in a good mood right now."Sanji always had a cigarette with him, whether he had something to do or not.Satoru would at most smoke one when he was in a bad mood. After all, he was influenced by Beckmanas a child, so it was hard not to learn to smoke."Mhm."Sanji hummed, then lit his own cigarette, exhaled a puff, and was fully revived."Two CP9 members have been dealt with now.""Chopper and Franky took care of them.""Nami is still fighting Kalifa, a duel between ladies.""On the fourth floor, Zoro and Sniper King might need you.""There are two CP9 members there. With Sniper King's current strength, he can't defeat the third-ranked CP9 member yet, so you're perfect for it."Forest Mask Bai Yun explained the current battle situation to Sanji.Sanji listened silently and nodded."The third-ranked? Is Mosshead dealing with him?""It's the second-ranked," Forest Mask Bai Yunreplied, then added,"He's also a swordsman."Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke."Phew~""Then never mind. Swordsmen should be left to other swordsmen to deal with.""That Mosshead bastard is a powerful swordsman."Forest Mask Bai Yun returned a smile."You praised him?"Sanji couldn't stand those words."Who praised him!!""I'm leaving!!"With that, Sanji looked up, took a step, and flew into the air.Forest Mask Bai Yun watched the departing Sanjiwith a smile, of course, a smile of relief at his growing proficiency with the Air Compression Technique... Inside the spiral staircase."Hurry! Hurry! How could pirates chase us all the way here!!"Spandam ran ahead, urging Satoru to hurry with Robin."Hey!! All CP9 members! Answer me!!""Why are pirates here? What are you all doing!!!""Hey! Hey!"Spandam didn't forget to blame CP9 as he walked, but after pressing the den den mushi in his hand, no one answered.Satoru knew what was happening and didn't stop him initially, because it was the World Government's island, their territory, so it was good that it was being blown up.Robin, however, panicked. "Wait! That thing in your hand is..."The object in Spandam's hand, used to communicate with CP9, was precisely the Golden den den mushithat summoned the Buster Call."Go... Golden!!"This fool had confused the Golden den den mushiwith an ordinary den den mushi... At Marineford, the Silver den den mushi that received the Golden den den mushi's orders rang out."Buruburu~ Buruburu~"The entire communication room instantly erupted."The Silver den den mushi received a signal!!!""The location is Enies Lobby!!""Quickly call the five Vice Admirals near the destination!!""No, judging by the distance, it's faster to go from Marineford!!""It can arrive in 30 minutes!!!""Quick! Immediately assemble ten warships!!!""Admiral Aokiji has activated the Buster Call!!!"Stopped🔊 BrowserCh. 505 / 210523.99%Ch. 505 / 210523.99%ReadDisplaySpeechSettingsMoreIntroAbout UsContact UsChangelogDMCACookie PolicyPrivacy PolicyTerms of UseStatsCopyright © 2022 - wtr-lab.comv1.13.4
Chapter 504: Satoru is Someone Who Listens to AdviceAfter Marineford received the Buster Call signal, it began to assemble a fleet of ten warships, which would reach Enies Lobby in about thirty minutes.Meanwhile, at Enies Lobby, Spandam, who had summoned the Buster Call, couldn't believe it himself."Damn it, this is bad! This is the Baby den den mushi, how could I be so careless as to press the Golden den den mushi button!""I actually... activated the Buster Call!"Spandam's voice was transmitted through the Baby den den mushi to the entire Enies Lobby's broadcast.At this moment, his voice was coming from the CP9's den den mushi and Enies Lobby's broadcast den den mushi.The Soldiers on the main island could hardly believe their ears."A Bu-Buster Call! No way!""Don't do anything foolish!""Quickly request a cancellation!""It's Robin's voice!"Luffy heard Robin's voice from Lucci's den den mushi."Otherwise, things will be uncontrollable!""Robin!"This was the voice coming from Kalifa's den den mushi and Nami's reaction to Robin's voice."What are you saying? You're asking me to cancel? Do you know who you're talking to?!"Spandam's voice rang out.The entire island could hear it.Including Zambai and the others who were captured, "What is this? A broadcast?""Wahahaha, this is good too! Activate the Buster Call! There's nothing wrong with it!"After his initial surprise, Spandam began to spout such nonsense.Satoru and Robin just watched him spew such ridiculous words. However, Satoru released his hand that wasn't even holding Robin tightly."That's right, this is good. I am the World Government's Agent No. 9...""There's nothing wrong with activating the Buster Call to safely deliver you to the World Government!""This way, no matter what happens here, all the pirates here will be killed in the end!"Robin, who had experienced a Buster Call, only felt ignorance listening to Spandam's words!"What nonsense are you talking about! It's absolutely not that simple!""That kind of attack is merciless!""This entire Enies Lobby will be reduced to ashes!""Whether it's buildings! Or people! The entire island will..."At this point, Robin couldn't help but choke up."A nightmarish concentrated bombardment that sacrifices everything to achieve its goal!""That is the Buster Call!""Because you don't even know what happened at Ohara 20 years ago!""You ignorant bastard!"This was the first time Robin had cursed someone, using 'bastard' to curse Spandam, and even the word 'bastard' felt wronged.Spandam, however, didn't care at all, and instead looked as if he had everything under control."Ah, enough... For the World Government, that's no big deal.""That bastard Cutty Flam burned the blueprints for Pluton.""So you're the only clue to the ancient weapons!""This is about a combat power that can overturn an era!""If we can flawlessly eliminate... those idiots who want to take you away!""Sacrificing... a few thousand Soldiers is also unavoidable for a bright future!"Casually sending his subordinates to their deaths, Satoru really didn't know how this guy became an officer? Inheriting his father's business?"More importantly, this concerns my future."And he, in his smugness, hadn't realized that the Baby den den mushi was still on. The Soldiers on the island heard their officer's true colors through the broadcast."Huh? What is this guy saying? He wants to sacrifice us? What a joke!"In response to Spandam's statement, Robin shouted sharply, "What do you take human lives for?!"When Satoru heard this, he felt that Spandamshould be chopped into a thousand pieces to fit the scene."Don't forget, CP9 is the World Government's assassination organization. If 100 people must be sacrificed to save 1000!""Then we can kill 100 people without hesitation! True justice must be accompanied by ruthlessness!""Besides, what if these incompetent Soldiers, who can't even stop pirates, die?""What a dictator's dog... dog statement!"Satoru originally wanted to curse, but thinking of his luck, he forcibly changed it.Spandam thought he misheard, "Bai... Satoru, what are you saying?""As a Marine spy, you don't agree with my idea?""What! A Marine spy?!""Who? Satoru?""Long-Haired Bai Yun is a Marine spy?!"The Soldiers once again received shocking news.Zambai and the others also took it seriously."What! Long-Haired Bai Yun is a Marine spy?!""No wonder he stayed with Nico Robin all this time but didn't rescue her."As for the Straw Hat Pirates, they naturally knew that this was just Satoru playing Spandam.Satoru is a Marine spy? You'd have a greater chance of saying Luffy is the grandson of a marine hero. (ಡωಡ)"You should worry about your own reputation first. The den den mushi broadcasted your words."Satoru pointed to the den den mushi in Spandam's hand.Spandam then reacted."Eh! What! This is bad! Did everything I just said get broadcasted?!""Um... actually... I'm Straw Hat Luffy..."Spandam tried to fool himself.However, the Soldiers weren't fools."Who are you trying to fool!"Robin, ignoring everything, leaned directly next to the den den mushi and shouted, hoping Luffy and the others could hear."Everyone, quickly leave this island!""Enies Lobby is about to be bombarded by the Buster Call!""Everything on the island will be reduced to nothing!"Seeing this, Spandam gritted his teeth and slapped, "Stop talking so much!"However, before his hand could strike, it was caught by Satoru. At the same time, Satoru swept away the Baby den den mushi from Spandam's hand. The Baby den den mushi rolled down the stairs, broke, and the call was instantly cut off."Satoru, you...""Slap!"Spandam was suddenly slapped by Satoru and fell onto the stairs.He was stunned."What are you doing? Are you crazy, Long-Haired Bai Yun!""Don't think you can hit me just because you're Garp's man!"Spandam shouted.Satoru is someone who listens to advice, so he slapped him again."Slap!""Otherwise, I'd say you're stupid, Spandam, CP9's officer.""I do know Vice Admiral Garp, but unfortunately, I'm not his spy. I am a genuine pirate, Long-Haired Bai Yun.""What!!!!"Spandam didn't know how many 'whats' he had said, his eyes wide, unable to believe what he had heard.
Chapter 505: Just Kidding"What?! This is impossible!!"Satoru said that he was not an undercover agent but a genuine pirate. Spandam couldn't believe it. He had a pirate by his side?This was like tying himself to a ticking time bomb!"No!!""Impossible!!"Spandam turned and scrambled upwards with both hands and feet."Don't you come over here!!!""Long-Haired Bai Yun!!!""I'm telling you, I'm with the World Government. If you dare to touch me, the World Government won't let you off!!!"Satoru stepped forward and smiled slightly."You seem to think too highly of yourself, Spandam.""What do you think you are? The World Government would go to great lengths for you?""Besides, even if I don't touch you, we've already fallen out with the World Government. Touching you again would just add a bit of flair."Upon hearing this, Spandam immediately turned around and thrust his Elephant Sword."Get lost!!""Elephant Tusk Assault!!"Spandam thrust his Elephant Sword. Funkfreed's elephant head, with its trunk transformed into a long blade and tusks, extended towards Satoru, stabbing at him.But Satoru simply raised a hand calmly and slapped it away, causing the elephant's head to twist.The elephant's eyes were so stunned that only pure stupidity remained, as if it couldn't believe it had been slapped."Hahahaha!!"Satoru suddenly laughed."Just kidding, Officer Spandam of CP9."Satoru's capriciousness left Spandam bewildered."Wh-what?!"Satoru spread his hands and shrugged, explaining."I said before, I get very into character.""Before the Straw Hat Pirates are dealt with, I am one of them. I won't agree to you casually attacking Nico Robin.""So, I'm just fulfilling a comrade's duty, and incidentally reminding you not to be so rough.""Of course, if the Straw Hat Pirates are defeated, then she's yours to deal with."After all that, Satoru just couldn't resist hitting Spandam to vent his anger."Do you understand, Officer Spandam of CP9?"Satoru asked.Spandam's mind was a mess, unable to figure out what was wrong with Satoru, but he thought, "I... I think I understand...""So, now... shall we continue escorting Nico Robin?"Satoru nodded, looking as if he was teaching a teachable child."That's right, but you can't act recklessly. However, once we enter Justice, it means the Straw Hat Pirates have lost, and then I won't interfere."He then helped Spandam up."You can understand me, right? Everyone has their quirks, and getting too into character is mine."Spandam replied with a forced smile, "Haha..."He thought to himself, if I say I don't understand, I'll probably get slapped again. Damn it, when this is over, I'll definitely report you and make you a Marinetoilet-cleaning grunt!"Alright, let's keep going."Satoru pointed ahead, then walked back to Robin, continuing to escort her and whispered."We have to wait for everyone to get the keys back.""Trust everyone, Sister Robin."Robin didn't understand. If he knocked Spandam out now, and they went back to find them, wouldn't it be the same?But Robin didn't speak. Although Satoru was sometimes childish, just like Luffy, he was always reliable, always seeming to know everything.Combined with Satoru's previous mention of the "Seeing through all things eye" that could see the future, Robin chose to believe Satoru, and could only choose to believe Satoru now... and return to the island.After the broadcast ended.The guards began to flee, even abandoning Zambaiand his group. Saving their lives was paramount.Luffy and Lucci clashed.Luffy wanted to pass, but Lucci wouldn't allow it, for a very simple reason.Without activating Gear Second, Luffy could exchange blows with Lucci, but he couldn't threaten Lucci at all. Even after being punched, Lucci still had a smile on his lips.Luffy and Lucci's battle wouldn't be decided quickly. Neither of them had used their ultimate moves yet; it was just a mutual probing.Let's switch the scene back to the others.Fifth floor of the Tower of Justice, Nami vs. Kalifa."Things happened so suddenly. Staying here too long will cost us our lives," Kalifa said after learning that the Buster Call was imminent, though no fear was visible on her face.Nami declared, "If you're going to escape, hand over the key first!!"Kalifa's response was to use Soru to flash behind Nami and embrace her."My apologies.""I originally wanted to play with you a little longer.""But I also need to evacuate quickly."Nami's eyes, visible through Kalifa's fingers, were filled with surprise and panic. "Oh no!!"Kalifa's hands moved over Nami's body, touching every inch, and then her Devil Fruit Ability activated."Golden Bubble!!"As Kalifa pulled away, Nami had transformed into a state similar to Sanji, with smooth and shiny skin, so round she couldn't stand, and her attack power halved.However, when Kalifa launched a Rankyaku at the seemingly helpless Nami, it passed right through her.It was an illusion!"Mirage Tempo!"This was Nami's technique of using cold air to change air density, which, under significant conditions, could cause abnormal light refraction, creating her own illusion to disrupt the enemy's judgment.Each of the Straw Hat Pirates has their own fighting style; using the weather is Nami's."I'm over here."A voice came. Kalifa turned and launched a Finger Pistol, which again passed through."Another illusion!!""Where are you?! Come out!"Although the illusions affected Kalifa, Nami also knew that she wouldn't get the key this way, and in her current state, if she didn't revert, even walking would be difficult."What should I do?! What should I do?!"Nami pondered in the shadows. As each illusion was broken, Kalifa would find her. She had to come up with a solution."Bubbles?""Golden Bubble!"Speaking of bubbles, Nami remembered what Satoru had told her on the rocket man."Bubbles? Just wash them off with water."Nami was puzzled then why Satoru would tell her that. Who doesn't know that bubbles can be washed off with water!"So Satoru was reminding me how to solve my current situation!""He really can see the future!!""Bathtub!!"After realizing how to solve it, Nami immediately ran towards Kalifa's bathtub, but she fell.Kalifa turned to look."So you're here.""You can't even stand steadily, why don't you surrender?""If you're so capable, then knock me flying! I've never hated the bubbles on me so much."Nami retorted defiantly.Kalifa returned a smile."Still talking tough, then I'll grant your wish and send you flying into the clouds."
