Chapter 199: Arc 13: A Deadly Fight in a Blizzard! The Straw Hats vs. The Snow Woman!


"Mocha, that delicious candy belongs to everyone, doesn't it?" Monet chided. "You mustn't fight. Come on, eat it together with your friends like you always do."

"No!" Mocha protested. "No one here is gonna eat this thing!"

"You silly little girl." Monet scolded.

"What are you doing?" Nami demanded.

"We don't have time to mess about with you!" Usopp agreed.

"That's a little cruel." Monet remarked. "I know so much about all of you. You Straw Hats have been causing trouble foe everyone. It's wonderful to meet you all."

"Who the hell are you?" Zoro glared.

"I'm Monet, a Yuki Yuki Fruit user." Monet chuckled and flapped her wings, causing cold wind to blow in the snowed-in Biscuits Room.

"Usopp, Brook." Robin turned to the pair. "I'll hold back the children here, both of you need to find some Sea-Stone handcuffs."

"Why would that..." Brook started.

"Luffy asked me to." Robin explained.

"I don't get it, but okay." Usopp nodded to Brook.

"I will go with you." Kin'emon declared. "I must continue my search for Momonosuke."

"It's cold." Nami winced as the blizzard raging in the room after the trio took off. "The whole room is in a blizzard. I just took off my coat. What is a Yuki Yuki Fruit? Damn that snow woman."

Meanwhile, Chusi, with Chopper on her back, was preventing the children from chasing the fleeing Mocha by puffing out smoke from her snort and causing the children to stop and cough.

"Everyone, stop!" Chopper warned. "You shouldn't eat the candy. Mocha, run!"

"You all have to come to your senses!" Mocha pleaded, increasing her distance between the children and herself.

"'ll try to hold them." Robin decided. "If even for a little while."

"Don't do that." Monet attacked the Hana Hana Fruit user from the back with a pair of ice picks.

"Are you alright, Robin?" Nami knelt beside the older woman.

Monet flew in for a second attack, only to be blocked off by Zoro's sword.

"You four, go stop those kids!" Zoro barked. "She's a Logia type. I'll take care of her."

Parrying Zoro off, Monet flew in once again, clashing with the green-haired swordsman with her ice picks.

"It's just a scratch." Robin assured. "We must stop the children quickly."

"Nami, we have to hurry." Sasha urged, the children rushing past the confused Chusi. "The kids are going to leave the room soon."

"Chusi-chan, please go after them." Chopper requested. "I promised that I would hold them, but I couldn't and I put Mocha in danger."

With a nod, Chusi spread her wings and took off after Mocha.

"We got to catch up with the kids and Chopper." Nami urged as she, Sasha and Robin ran for the door.

Dissolving into snow, Monet disengaged from Zoro.

"Where did she go?" Zoro looked around for his missing opponent. "Hey you!" he snapped, realizing who Monet's target was and ran towards Nami. "What are you doing?" he managed to block Monet's attack on the navigator. "Why are you trying to attack the weak ones?"

"It's strategic to finish off the weaker foes first." Monet reasoned.

"Zoro, move out of my way!" Nami retorted as the two clashed again. "Heat Egg!" she slammed a segment of her Sorcery Clima-Tact into one of Monet's wings, melting it. "The heat worked, just as I thought." she grinned. "Don't come after us." she warned, three Heat Eggs circling the Sorcery Clima-Tact as she took off with Sasha and Robin.

"She hid herself in the snow again." Zoro growled, seeing Monet reform her wing and melt back into the snow. "Don't you wanna fight me, snow woman?"

"The exit..." Nami exclaimed, as snow started building up at the door, sealing it.

"Snow Fence." Monet shut the door with snow. "Perpetual Snow." she trapped Sasha in her snow.

"She did it again!" Zoro cursed, seeing the giant snow monster towering over the trapped water wielder.

"Cuatro Mano: Spank!" Robin's four palms freed Sasha as they shattered Sasha's snow prison

"Water Severing Blade!" materializing a crystal sword and coating its blade with pressurized water, Sasha sliced Monet's snow monster form into half.

"Oh please." Monet chided, reforming herself. "Those children are the Master's precious test subjects and I'm responsible for protecting Caesar and his experiment. Who planted this rebellious spirit in Mocha's mind?"

"Move out of my way!" Zoro barked, cutting through the snow barrier covering the door. "You go ahead.
