Chapter 337: Arc 18: Preparations OK! Chopperphage Nebulizer


On the Live Floor...

"It's like the heavens have given me a reward at the end." Hyogoro mused. "I was imprisoned and only waiting to die, but now I've made it this far." "But if I go on, I'll only risk your lives. I'm sorry I assigned you in a tough role." he set his katana aside and waited for Yatappe to cut off his head. "But do it for me."


With Chopper...

Red cracks started appearing on Chopper's iced over body as the ice sheet evaporated and melted off. "It's successful!" Chopper cheered. "We need a lot." he informed Miyagi and Tristan. "Everyone's waiting."


On the Live Floor...

"You don't look well." Queen mocked Marco. "Marco. Isn't it about time to end this?"

Marco flew up to dodge Queen's machine gun fire.

"I won't let you get away." Queen continued his attack relentlessly.

"Bluebird!" Marco swerve to dodge the attack fire and released a phoenix-shaped fiery projectile at Queen.

"Don't try to act tough, you bird brain." Queen snarled, cutting through the attack with his sword.

Just then, King intervened, swing his sword at Marco.

Marco managed to parry away the blade with his talons, only to have King smack him away with an open palm.

"Prepare yourself." King growled. "I'm gonna torment you to my heart's content."

"Have fun, idiots." Queen mocked. "I'm gonna turn all the idiots and scum into Ice oni."

"I now understand a little why Wano has been so feared." X Drake admitted.

"What are you waiting for, Yatappe?" Hyogoro snapped. "Empty your mind. If I turn into an Ice Oni..."

"I know." Yatappe sobbed. "Give me a minute."

"Queen-sama!" one of the infected Pleasures called out. "We're your subordinates. Why do we have to die from your virus?"

"You're irritating me." Queen sneered. "Shut up, you peons. You fools are useless now. If I've no use for you, you're garbage. Ice Oni is my masterpiece virus. It's meant for you guys. Pleasures, you've already lost the ability lottery, you're just cannon fodder that can only laugh. Waiters, no matter how long you wait, no more Smile fruits are coming. You guys lost the chance to gain power. The forever Waiters; as the name suggests, all you can do is wait. The only way you good-for-nothings can help the formidable Beast Pirates is to become an Oni before you die and do something worthwhile to close out your lives. I'm telling you all to die. We have tons of troops."

"Wait!" Chopper ran in just as Yatappe was about to cut off Hyogoro's head. Kicking away Yatappe's sword, he landed in front of Hyogoro. "I need you wait. I'll save him now." he squirted the vaccine into Hyogoro's mouth. "Boss, swallow it."

Hyogoro's started smoking and the ice cracked and melted off.

"It worked." even X Drake was impressed.

"Miyagi, Tristan, listen." Chopper turned to Miyagi and Tristan. "Hurry up."

"We're ready, Dr. Chopper." Miyagi and Tristan rolled out a cannon and Miyagi loaded the vaccine cannonball into it.

"Chopperphage Nebulizer, shoot!" Chopper gave the order.

The cannonball was shot out, turning into a pinkish dense mist when it exploded.

"Inhale as much of the mist as you can." Tristan shouted.

"This is the most effective way to save you from the Ice Oni." Miyagi added.

"What do you think you're doing, Raccoon?" Queen sneered, enraged that his virus was so easily countered. "What have you done to my masterpiece?"

"It's impossible to give the medicine individually to thousands of warriors on this floor." Chopper met Queen face-to-face. "So, I crafted my own virus out of the antibody. A bad virus can be beaten by a good virus. This way, everyone can ingest the cure by inhaling the mist."

"You're just a doctor in a petty pirate group's ship." Queen snapped. "Where did you learn such skills?"

"We scattered all over the world and trained ourselves." Chopper replied.

"Even my subordinates have recovered from the Ice Oni." Queen snarled. "How dare you?"

"You shouldn't use a virus in a fight so casually." Chopper barked. "It'll surely get out of hand."

"Why do I have to be taught ethics by a raccoon?" Queen sniped. "Who do you think I am?" he then fired off his 'Black Coffee' attack at Chopper, only to have several Pleasures jump in and take on the attack. "What are you doing?" he demanded. "Get out of my way, you weaklings."

"Shut up, Queen." the leader of the Pleasures' group retorted. "Our brothers are almost killed by you and were saved by Raccoon-san here. Instead of death due to a crazy superior, we'd rather die siding with the one who saved us."

"You shitheads." Queen twitched.

Marco flew in, collaring Queen in a fiery choker. "That was impressive, Raccoon." he grinned. "Do it."

"Thank you, Marco." Chopper acknowledged. "There's one more thing I wanna say." he chomped down a Rumble Ball. "Monster Point. I'm not a raccoon." he slapped Queen across the face.


On Onigashima's roof...

"Guys, think before you move." Law warned, Luffy having been struck into a boulder.

"What's wrong?" Hybrid Kaido asked. "It's not over, right? Let's keep fighting. Bring it on, all at once."

"Let's go." Luffy took the charge and slammed a 'Kin'niku Fusen' into Hybrid Kaido.
