Chapter 97: The Great Battle of Wits

Mr. 2 had decided to try something new… turn into a Straw Hat so that Sanji wouldn't hurt him… so he turned into Usopp… unaware of the fact that Sanji regularly beat him all the time. So yeah…

"Why kind of friend are you!" yelled Mr. 2.

"No matter what face you choose it's still the same goofy illusion… it's the heart that counts!" explained Sanji giving a heartfelt speech.

That's when Mr. 2 turned into Nami… Sanji reacted well… like a love sick puppy, it was then Mr. 2 learned his weakness… poor, poor, poor Sanji…

Back in the desert, Ino still stared at Shikamaru.

"What is he doing?" asked Ino.

"Whenever Shikamaru plays a strategy game with someone, he does that whenever he tries to work on a move." Explained Choji, "He can beat almost everyone in a game of Shogi or Go."

"That's it." Said Shikamaru, he opened his eyes, "Here's the plan."

While Shikamaru was giving the plan, Temari got up after getting that bonk on the head.

"Ow…" she said rubbing the bump.

Temari sighed then took a breath she didn't like this at all. She really didn't want any part of this, but as long as her father worked with Crocodile, she has no choice.

"Looks like I'm going to have act like I never acted before." She thought, "I guess I can do this."

She prepared her fan and got up, that's when Ino showed up and kicked her legs from under her, she managed to catch herself.

"So that's it?" asked Temari, she prepared her fan and created a large of gust of wind.

"Partial Expansion!" came a voice.

And Choji made it so that his hands were gigantic and blocked the wind. The wind stopped.

"Is that all you can do?" asked Temari with a smirk.

"No that's now all." Said Choji.

That's when Choji expanded his entire body until he was the size of a giant… that's when he stepped on Temari.

And now for something completely different…

No… this author just wanted to say that… the fight is still going on.

"Did it work?" asked Ino.

That's when Choji fell backwards, revealing Temari unscathed.

"Is that all you got?" asked Temari.

"You already said that…" said Ino with a sweat drop.

"Well… I… never mind!" yelled Temari somewhat embarrassed by it.

She screamed a large gust of wind that cut into Ino and Choji. It's when she noticed a black shadow headed towards her feet. She closed her fan, stopping the wind and ran away from the shadow.

"So I was right, the fan needs to be open for her to use her powers." Thought a hidden Shikamaru.

Temari decided to follow the showdown to where it came, while dodging the shadows, she found where he was hiding.

"So you're the one who's pulling the strings." Said Temari.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Shikamaru.

"You're a strangest aren't you?" asked Temari.

"I am…" yawned Shikamaru.

"You're certainly lazy." Said Temari.

"And you would make an interesting opponent in Shogi." Said Shikamaru.

"We're supposed to be fighting now, not flirting." Said Ino as he arrived with Choji.

This made both sweat drop, big time.

"We're enemies, there was no flirting between us." Muttered Temari rolling her eyes.

That's when Temari unleashed a rather large gust of wind.

"Time for the next part of the plan!" shouted Shikamaru over the wind.

The other two nodded.

"Partial Expiation!" shouted Choji making it so his hand was giant once again.

"That's not going to work again." Said Temari.

She disappeared in the wind.

"Where did she go?" asked Choji as his arms returned to normal.

"Right above you." Said Temari.

They looked above themselves to find that Temari was flying over them using her fan. She then got into potion and unleashed a gust of wind that knocked the three of them away.

"Damn you." Said Ino getting up along with the two guys.

"You really think that you can beat me?" asked Temari, "What with you three, lazy, fatty and the one that pretended to be dead?"

Temari sweat dropped with herself, "Great, I didn't mean it like that…" she thought.

There was a defining silence…

"What did you call me?" asked Choji.

"Um… Fatty?" asked Temari realizing that it was really a bad idea she called him that.

"I'm not fat! I'm pleasantly plump! Pleasantly plump!" shouted Choji glaring at as harshly as he could at Temari.

"So… Choji…" said Ino.

Shikamaru nodded.

"So he absolutely loess it when someone calls him…" said Ino.

"That's right." Said Shikamaru.

"So then…" said Ino.

"I came up with a plan incase such a thing happen." Said Shikamaru.

"Oh really?" asked Ino.

"She's going to regret calling her that." Said Shikamaru with a smirk.

Back with Sanji the poor pervert… err… fool… yes… fool was getting beaten by a Nami Disguised Mr. 2.

"Where's your bravado Mr. Tough Guy? Do you even have the strength to stand up?" asked Mr. 2 who still looked like Nami.

Sanji managed to get up.

"I'm not beaten yet, he may look like Nami on the outside, but he's still that swan on the outside." Thought Sanji getting up, "You swan you're not so…"

However Sanji couldn't help but fawn over the disguised… uh… Ballerina.

"Why does she have to be so cute?" thought Sanji crying.

"It's so hot in this county, I feel like taking off some of my clothes." Said Mr. 2, mocking Sanji even more.

"Need some help?" asked Sanji going into full pervert mode.

That's when Mr. 2 began to beat him up some more…. That poor, poor, poor pervert… um… fool… then again pervert is a good description, right? He does read porn.

However Sanji noticed that Mr. 2 had turned back to his normal ballerina self in the attacks, Sanji tried to use this to advantage just when Mr. 2 used some sort of weird boomerang attack involving some of his make-up (don't worry… I don't understand how it works either)… but before Sanji could hit him, he turned back once again into Nami.

Little did Sanji know was that he was about to figure out Mr. 2's weakness when it came to fighting that way.

Next Time: Choji's mad and Temari will know the full force of a really angry "pleasantly plump" guy. Will they able to beat Temari... well it looks like it. Meanwhile Sanji discovers Mr. 2's weakness... While he be able to beat him? Find out next time!
