CHAPTER 52- Monsters
Chapter's Quote: "Kill an emotion, and you step away from the beast."


As soon as Chopper ate the third Rumble Ball, his hair started to grow and so did his antlers.

Dylan watched silently as Chopper became his monster form.

Chopper gave a loud roar and stared down at Dylan who was calmly staring back.

Chopper raised his fist and brought it down onto Dylan.

Chopper's fist went through Dylan's body, which only made Chopper angrier.

Chopper gave another roar and started stomping and punching where Dylan was.


All over the island, everyone that was conscious, heard Chopper's roar.

"Was that Chopper?!" Nami asked frightened.

Nami thought back to Enies Lobby and to when she saw Chopper in that huge form.

On another side of the island, Zoro stopped and looked over to where the roar was coming from.

"Sounds like Chopper." He said and went back to running around randomly.

Robin stopped and looked around. "Was that Doctor-san?" she asked out loud and continued to walk forward.

Franky was staggering to stand up as he heard Chopper's roar.

"That was that reindeer-gorilla again." He said, looking to where Chopper was roaring from.


Chopper stopped attacking and stared down at where Dylan was.

The dust cleared and Dylan's body was healing itself again.

Dylan continued to calmly stare up at the massive monster as it roared again.

Chopper roared and attacked again.

Dylan let a sigh out and raised his hand.

A wall of earth rose from the ground and stopped Chopper's fist.

"You're too noisy." Dylan said as he stared into Chopper's eyes.

Dylan closed his hand and Chopper roared in pain as the earth slowly crushed his fist.

Dylan opened his hand and lowered it.

Chopper raised his two fists and punched Dylan.

Dylan's body was unaffected by Chopper's punches and kicks as Dylan calmly stared.

Chopper let out another roar, and Dylan sighed again.

Dylan then, stood up and walked off of the pile of bodies that were now crushed by Chopper.

"You are far too noisy." Dylan said as he raised a hand.

From the ground, Chopper was tied up by the earth and as Chopper roared to get free, Dylan raised his other hand and closed it.

Chopper then started to sink into the ground.

Dylan opened his hand again when Chopper's head was the only thing above ground.

Dylan stared at Chopper's head and Chopper let out a roar again.

Dylan sighed and muttered quietly. "Tsuchi Giri."

Chopper roared in pain and after a while of roaring, Chopper suddenly stopped and became unconscious.

Chopper turned back into his normal form, and Dylan brought him out of the ground.

Chopper's lower body was covered in slashes as he breathed heavily.

Dylan turned around and walked off as if he was bored with the fight.


Across the island, Robin was walking into the park until she stopped and looked toward where Chopper was last heard.

"I hope Doctor-san is okay." She said with a concerned tone.

She looked in front of her and continued to walk forward.

In the city, Franky had managed to find Usopp, and picked him up.

"I really hope you're still alive!" Franky said through gritted teeth as he headed toward the dock.

Sanji was still leaning against building, but he wasn't knocked out.

He was smoking calmly and turned his head to see Franky staggering toward him.

"Oi Franky, some help would be nice." Sanji said to the cyborg.

Franky managed a grin and walked closer.

"Can't you move?"

"Nah, my legs seem in be broken."

"Who could do that?"

"Nami's sister."

"Her? Wow, she's quite powerful."

"You can say that again. She also used this weird weapon, you wouldn't believe it! It could talk!" Sanji said with a small grin.

Franky narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"That little girl Marisa also had a weapon like that. Her arm became giant with a shield attached to it. She called it Mecha, I think."

Sanji's eyes widened and then said. "Lock-chan's was called Sacir."

"Did she call it a Zodic?"

Sanji nodded and Franky narrowed his eyes again. "It's quite strange."

"I at least know that when they use it, they can't use Roushiki."

Sanji grinned at his discovery and Franky placed Usopp down on the ground next to Sanji.

"So Usopp was beaten too?"

"Seems so."

Sanji sighed and calmly blew out smoke from his mouth.

Franky looked toward the city and muttered. "The other guys must have already found a fight. I think it's safe to guess that they can all use those Zodic things?"

Sanji nodded and stated. "If that little girl and Lock-chan knew how to use it, they must have had someone teach them."

Franky nodded and rested against the building also.

"Now we just have to wait for Chopper or someone to come and help us."


Luffy, Nami, and Varen continued to run down street after street as they searched for the Ragnarok Pirates.

Varen was behind Nami and Luffy as they talked to each other.

Luffy was telling Nami about everything that happened with more detail then the others had managed.

Nami made a promise with Luffy not to tell the others and she told about the Image Reflector, but only a little.

She didn't mention about what Suni had said. "It becomes the person you want to see most."

Varen scowled as Luffy laughed with Nami.

Varen stared at Nami as they rounded a corner.

"Hmph, what does Luffy-kun see in her? Can she really be that important to him? She's only a navigator, and they are replaceable." Varen thought and brushed away some of her black hair out of her eyes.

They turned another corner, and suddenly, a cold laugh echoed around them.

"Look who's here! The brat, his girlfriend,"

Varen smiled when she thought he was talking about her.

"and my little brat of a sister!"

Varen's eyes widened and she froze as she looked up into the grinning face of Takai.

Luffy and Nami turned to face Takai and Nami shouted. "I am not his girlfriend!"

"Sure, whatever you say. In my opinion, you are."

Nami grew red in the face as she glared at Takai who merely laughed when he noticed.

"Luffy-kun… keep on going." Varen said with her hair hiding her eyes.

Luffy and Nami looked at her as she pulled out her kunai.

"I'll take care of him." Varen said as she looked at Takai with such rage and hatred.

"Oh? You take care of me? That's a laugh! Go on and look just like Father did when he saw me! I enjoy that face!" Takai shouted happily.

Varen was seething with anger as she jumped up and slashed at Takai.

Takai stopped laughing and caught Varen's kunai with two fingers.

"Rankyaku." Takai said but didn't swing his leg.

The shockwave came from behind Varen.

She glanced behind her and jumped out of the way as it passed harmlessly by Takai.

Varen looked and saw that they were surrounded by Takai's mini sickles.

Varen cursed under her breath and threw a shuriken at Takai.

The shuriken went through Takai's head and into the sky.

Luffy and Nami watched until Luffy suddenly grabbed Nami's arm and ran.

"Luffy!? What about her!?" Nami shouted as Luffy let go of her arm and let her run next to him.

"She said to leave it to her, so I am." Luffy bluntly stated.

Nami looked at Luffy and then nodded. Behind them, Varen was facing Takai as the she glared at her older brother angrily.

Takai chuckled and raised his hand. The ten mini sickles flew toward his hand and merged together.

Takai grabbed the shadow and pulled out the scythe he used against Luffy before.

Varen glared at the scythe and muttered. "Kurai Takai. The Scythe of Death."

Takai grinned and pointed the scythe at her.

"Good going, you did some studying. Now I feel like killing you even more." Takai said with a chuckle.

"Heh, sorry but I'll be the one to kill you."

"You won't be even able to scratch me."

"Wanna bet?"

"No, cause there is no reason to."

Varen glared coldly as Takai chuckled again.

"Let's see if you've improved from 10 years ago." Takai said and brought the scythe behind him and took his stance.

Varen took her stance and they stared at each other.

They both jumped at each other in unison and the clash began.


Kill her, Takai! XO

Sanji: Oi! Aren't you supposed to be rooting for us!?

If I was, would I have you lose?

Sanji: ...

Nah, it's just Takai.

Takai: Just? T.T
