Chapter 190: Chopper's Feelings

Sakura was barely there. She was still in shock from the night before. She tried everything to stop Sasuke. But she was able to achieve nothing.

Needless to say she was having a serious case of BSOD.

"Sakura stop feeling sorry for yourself!" said Ino.

Sakura and looked up at Ino.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Said Sakura.

"Then maybe you should focus on rowing." Said Ino.

"What?" she asked.

"That's enough!" yelled Nami, "We're almost caught up."

"You okay?" asked Isaribi.

Sakura glared and walked away.

"At least she was able to row." Said Ino.

Back on the boat, Sanji and Chopper still stared Jirobo.

"What are you?" asked Chopper.

"This is the second level of the cursed seal." Said Jirobo.

There was an awkward silence…

"You still can't fight at full strength, can you?" asked Sanji.

"Shows up you know." Said Jirobo.

He proceeded to punch Sanji. Sanji skipped over the water several feet before crashing into the water.

"Sanji!" yelled Chopper.

Chopper turned to Jirobo, only for Jirobo to punch him in the face. But Chopper managed to get up.

"You're getting up?" asked Jirobo.

"I won't let you hurt someone special to me." Said chopper.

"What's that supposed to mean. You care about Sasuke?" asked Jirobo.

"I don't care about Sasuke!" said Chopper, "We don't talk that much… but because you took him you hurt someone else."

"Oh, I get it, the pink head, right?" he asked.

Chopper glared at him.

"I heard about what happened that she cried to get him to stop but he just punched her in the gut." Said Jirobo, "She's clearly shallow why would you want her."

"Shut up!" yelled Chopper.

Jirobo smirked…

"You hate Sasuke. Don't you?" asked Jirobo.

"I don't!" cried Chopper.

"You do…" said Jirobo, "Are you fighting me because he's a crew member?"

"No! That's not it." Said Chopper.

"Then why are you fighting." Said Jirobo.

"I'm jealous of Sasuke… I am…" said Chopper, "I mean Sakura does… she does love him. But I just want her to be happy. And what you're doing is hurting her."

Chopper couldn't but to think about Sakura, how she looked before he left. She was absolutely devastated.

"I don't care happens as long as she is happy." Said Chopper.

He took out a rumble ball.

"What is that?" asked Jirobo.

Chopper just glared at him and put it in his mouth, "Rumble!" he shouted.

That was when Chopper shifted into arm point.

The two began to exchange blows. Both of them seemed to push each other back when they did.

"How is he this strong?" thought Jirobo.

"Can I hold this for three minutes?" thought Chopper.

It went on for almost a minute and the two backed away.

"Chopper do you need help?" asked Sanji who seemed to be watching the fight.

"When did you get back! And why haven't you been helping me?" asked Chopper.

"I heard you say everything about Sakura." Said Sanji, "So I figured you didn't want help."

Chopper couldn't help to sweat drop, "I do need help." Said Chopper.

Chopper switched back to Brain Point began to whispered his plan to Sanji.

"Are you sure?" asked Sanji.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can find it." Said Chopper.

Sanji sighed, "But you better fix me up." He said.

"What are you planning." Said Jirobo.

That was when Sanji ran towards him and aimed a kick for his face.

"That's not going to work." Said Jirobo.

However Jirobo had no idea that this was a distraction.

"All right! Lets' find your weak point." Thought Chopper.

Sanji continued to kick him several time over, but it did nothing to Jirobo.

"So why are you fighting?" asked Jirobo, "He left on his own choice."

Sanji kicked him in the face.

"You talk too much in a fight." He said.

Jirobo tried to punch him, but Sanji dodged. That was when Jirobo flinched.

"I found his weakness!" said Chopper.

"Oh yeah, what?" asked Sanji.

Chopper ran towards him in heavy point, and punched him. But did nothing, Jirobo punched him back, but Chopper switched to guard point.

"What's his weak point?" asked Sanji in a low tone.

"We have to just hold on." Said Chopper, "You'll understand soon."

"So just keep dodging?" asked Sanji.

Chopper nodded, it was all they could do for now.

Jirobo tried to punch them and kick them, but all they did was dodge. And each time he did he would get tired. That is until he suddenly collapsed on the deck and suddenly went back to normal.

"So what happened?" asked Sanji.

"He could only hold the seal for a short time before it would stop working." Said Chopper, "And when it did it would exhaust him."

"I see." Said Sanji.

Both of them fell onto the deck.

"Let's rest for a bit before heading back." Said Sanji.

Chopper nodded.

Back on the Going Merry, Sakura watched as they got closer to the ship.

"Sakura stop doing this to yourself." Said Ino.

"What do you mean?" asked Sakura.

"I was there too." Said Ino, "I failed in stopping him too!"

"You don't have any idea…" said Sakura.

"You had him and then he knocked you out! Gaara saw what happened!" said Ino, "I asked him!"

Sakura glared at her, "How can you ask that!"

"We will get him back." Said Ino, "I mean if Luffy was able to get Nami back when she willingly left. He can get Sasuke back."

Sakura's eye widened when she said that.

"Did you honestly forgotten about that, I mean you were in on it." Said Ino.

"Thank you…" said Sakura, "I needed that."

"But don't think you're going beat me when Sasuke is back." Said Ino.

"Yeah right." Said Sakura.

Sakura got a strange feeling.

"What is it?" asked Ino.

"I don't know why, but I think… but I feel guilty about Chopper for some reason." Said Sakura.

"I don't get it sometimes…" said Ino with a shrug, "How can someone be so oblivious to a crush."

"What?" asked Sakura staring at her with white eyes.

"Just never mind." Said Ino.

"Hey! We're getting close!" yelled Usopp.

On the ship, the Sound 5 (well the Sound 4) looked to see the Going Merry wasn't do far behind them.

"Looks like Fat Ass couldn't hold them for long." Said Tayuya.

"So which one of us should go?" asked Sakon.

They all turned to Kidomaru, they knew that he had faced Sasuke… meaning that they had little knowledge how to defeat him.

"I guess you're right." Said Kidomaru with a shrug.

He jumped into a boat that was very long, had many strange poles all over it. He lowered it. He knew that it was going to be fun to mess with those pirates…

And hopefully he'll be able to fight one of the ones with a bounty.

Next Time: Kidomaru attacks the Straw Hats and the only way to stop him is using long range attacks. Can Usopp and Isaribi manage to defeat him or will they fail? Find out next time!
