Chapter 97: Arc 8: Ending The Fight! Stop the Rampaging Chopper!


"The mirages from before." Kalifa realized. "Only one is real?"

"That's right." Nami confirmed. "Only one is the real thing; the others are just distortions created by the extreme cold, illusions of the air itself."

"Illusions?" Kalifa echoed. "How mysterious and beautiful. But if you think about it, you'll realize that illusions can't be hurt by attacks. So, the entire point of this is to mislead me. Getting this serious... that's not cute at all."

"Thunder Charge." Nami powered up a thunderbolt. "The real one of us is among the ten."

"So what?" Kalifa shrugged.

"And also," Sasha charged up a water wave with her blade. "Aqualung!" she released the seawater wave.

"Thunderball!" Nami merged her wave of thunderbolts with the wave. "Only 20% of the attacks are real. Can you dodge all of them?"

"And that's 100% power for you." Sasha declared, Kalifa was stuck by the combined elemental assault. "Didn't we tell you? You got careless."

"The Clima-Tact is a lot different for before." Nami realized. "This much power in a simple Thunderball, with our next attack, we'll defeat you."

"Why are you making promises like that?" Kalifa questioned. "You're too cocky."

"It's not a promise." Nami corrected. "It's a forecast. I have control over humidity and temperature. The weather in this room is all mine."

"Why does it matter if you've controlled the weather?" Kalifa asked. "The Rokushiki surpasses any human abilities. Insolent girls!" she used Soru to move behind Nami to kick her, only to find that she had attacked a mirage.

"The probability of finding the real one is 20%." Nami added, charging up a dark cloud between the two ends of her Perfect Clima-Tact. "In today's sky," she dispelled the camouflage after Kalifa took out two mote of her clones. "In the field of stable pressure, there will be violet currents and some storm clouds. Soon, the lightning and thunder may even pierce your chest. Be careful of the numbness of the heart." she reactivated 'Mirage Tempo: Fata Morgana' on herself. "Dark Cloud Tempo!"

"I showed you before how I can guard against lightning." Kalifa reminded. "I just have to be prepared.

"When you guard like that, you have the disadvantage of being unable to move." Nami pointed out.

"Don't underestimate me." Kalifa warned. "Are you saying that you can defeat them with a simple attack? Well, 'Soap Sheep! I don't need to only hit the real one. I'll simply engulf all of you with a wave of 'relax bubble'. Sheep Cloud: Giant Tidal Wave! All that will be truly engulfed is the real one."

"Have you forgotten that you're facing two opponents?" Sasha reminded. "Overdrive: Huge Tidal Wave!" she blocked the rising foam wave with a water wave of her own. Not yet, Nami? She wondered, defending off Kalifa's Shigan by trapping her hand within a water bubble that formed from her blade when the CP-9 agent tried to stab her sword.

"Lightning will come forth from the storm cloud to Clima-Tact." Nami declared, Kalifa turning to see a crackling dark cloud near the ground. "Sasha, get out of the way!" she shouted. "Thunder Lance Tempo!" she ended the fight, once Sasha cleared the path and struck a streak of lightning straight through Kalifa's body. "No matter how strong you are, my forecasts are always right."

"Our nakama was waiting." Sasha disengaged her armor. "We're claiming our key."

"Deer-gorllia!" Franky climbed through the gaping hole Monster Point Chopper left on the wall. "Where are you?"

"Franky?" Nami blinked. "Why were you there?"

"It's you two." Franky climbed in through the hole. "That deer-gorllia of yours came this way, right?"

"Chopper?" Nami echoed. "Yes, he did."

"What happened to Chopper that he had to take on his Monster Point form?" Sasha asked.

"How would I know?" Franky retorted. "I was about to ask. Can't he change into that kinda thing?"

"He mentioned it to me before." Sasha admitted. "But I've never seen him enter that mode before."

"Really?" Franky nodded. "I thought you guys would know how to deal with him. If we don't do anything, and we just let him rampage like that, we don't know what'll happen to this tower."

"Yeah." Nami agreed. "It doesn't look like he'll listen to us. And he didn't even recognize us."

"What caused this?" Franky asked.

"This happens if Chopper consumes three of his Rumble Balls in under six hours," Sasha frowned. "But he told me he can't control his Devil Fruit transformations if he took even two within the time limit."

"Then, there'll only be one way to deal with it." Franky concluded. "Anyway, good job. The two of you took this woman down?" he looked at the defeated Kalifa. "We need the key she had, the number two key."


"Outta the way, you guys!" Franky warned Zoro and Sogeking, Zoro having blasted Kaku and Jabra apart with the '36 Pound Cannon'.

"Franky, what the hell're you trying to do?" Zoro demanded, seeing the cyborg readying his air cannon. "These guys are our..."

"I know, shut up." Franky retorted. "This is the only solution. Devil Fruit users have only one weakness. I'll shoot him into the sea. Sorry, but this is what I have to do. Coup de Vent!" he fired his air cannon at Monster Point Chopper, the shockwave sending him falling into the wall behind him. The wall then crumbled outwards, causing Chopper to fall into the seawater below.

"Don't worry." Nami assured, arriving with Sasha in tow after Franky jumped in after Chopper. "We already worked it out together."

"You're finally free?" Kaku chuckled, when he and Jabra heard the crank of the Sea Prism Stone cuffs being unlocked.

"Don't laugh." Zoro warned. "You should be regretful. A chance to kill me like you could before will never come again." he drew his second blade. "World Government!"
