Chapter 123: Lucci: We Join Forces, Your Crew Gets Wiped Out!
Under the dark, cloud-covered sky, Enies Lobby was a scene of cannon fire. Only the Tower of Justice at the island's far end remained the sole towering structure.
At this moment, within a spacious room inside the Tower of Justice, the green-covered floor was pitted and scarred, a complete mess.
Dust billowed everywhere in the room as Kumadori, his pink hair dancing wildly like a lion's mane, attacked.
"Yoyoi~~"
Kumadori leaped into the air with a loud cry, his long hair coiling like an arm with an extended index finger, raining down a dense, storm-like barrage of stabs towards the ground.
"Life Return: Lion Finger Pistol!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! The attacks, powerful as cannonballs smashing down, continuously bombarded the floor, blasting out crater after crater.
Chopper, in his reindeer form, used all four limbs, agilely weaving through the countless thick strands of hair.
"The Rumble Ball's time is almost up..."
Chopper looked up gravely at the sky above. His opponent was using Geppo to maintain an aerial advantage, continuously attacking with his long hair.
"One minute left..."
If this drags on any longer, once the Rumble Ball wears off, my only option will be...
—To call Reiner for help!!
"No, no!"
Chopper quickly shook his head, a determined look in his eyes. "Chopper, you're a man! How can you hide behind Reiner every time!?"
Since I said I'd handle this enemy with Robin, if I'm a man, I have to keep my word!
Seizing the moment before the Rumble Ball's effects wore off, Chopper transformed into his human-like form. Unlike his usual burly appearance, his figure now became even more slender.
"Jumping Point!"
This was a specific enhancement targeting particular body parts, achieved by using his specially made Rumble Ball to disrupt the transformation wavelength of Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
As Chopper pushed off hard with both feet, his figure leaped up rapidly, arriving before Kumadori in the blink of an eye.
Then, his arms suddenly swelled several times their size, muscles bulging, veins popping. Chopper brought his hooves together, gathering power.
"Arm Point!"
"Tekkai!" (Iron Mass!)
Facing Chopper's attack, Kumadori reacted instantly, tensing his entire body, blood surging, muscles hardening to an iron-like defense.
However!
"Deux Fleurs!" (Two Flowers!)
Two arms suddenly sprouted from Kumadori's shoulders. He instantly recognized this as Robin's ability but looked disdainful, saying unconcernedly:
"With your Doriki value, you cannot possibly shake me while I'm using Tekkai!"
"How about this then?"
Robin sneered, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Poke Eyes!"
Before her words faded, the two arms shot out rapidly, viciously poking towards Kumadori's eyes!
"Nani!!"
Kumadori was instantly alarmed. He saw two dark shadows flash, and his vision immediately plunged into darkness, intense pain surging through his mind.
"Ahh!! My eyes!!"
Kumadori's face contorted, the stinging pain in his eyes making tears stream uncontrollably.
The tension in his entire body slackened, and his Tekkai defense dissipated along with it.
"Kokutei: Cross!" (Hoof Print: Cross!)
Chopper roared explosively, his hooves forming a cross as he smashed them forward, heavily striking Kumadori's chest!
Bang!
The powerful blow from his Arm Point sent out a shockwave, and Kumadori was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing to the ground!
Rubble splashed as a deep crater was blasted into the floor. Kumadori lay within it, his arms trembling as he struggled to prop up his body.
"Bastard woman!"
Amidst the thick smoke, Kumadori gritted his teeth, large, crystalline teardrops at the corners of his eyes, as he glared fiercely at Robin. "To actually use such a despicable move!"
"Despicable?"
Robin scoffed disdainfully. "CP9, who walk in darkness, doing the World Government's dirty work... you actually dare to speak of 'despicable'?"
"What do you know, stinking woman!"
Kumadori used his long staff to prop himself up, yelling loudly, "Our actions! They are the indispensable darkness behind justice! How dare a mere pirate compare themselves to us!"
"Enough! Simply unreasonable!"
Robin's brow furrowed as she coldly shouted, crossing her arms to activate her ability. "Trenta Fleurs!" (Thirty-Six Flowers!)
"Useless!"
Kumadori's long hair danced wildly as he boomed, "That was just carelessness earlier! Having mastered Life Return, I can cover even my eyelids with Tekkai's defense!"
Dozens of arms simultaneously appeared all over Kumadori's body, coiling around his ankles, knees, elbows, shoulders, neck, and all other joints, locking him tightly.
"Just catching you is enough!" Robin stated coldly.
"Nice job, Robin!"
Chopper's figure appeared in an instant. Kumadori, seeing this, immediately manipulated his long hair, coiling it into sharp spikes that thrust towards Chopper.
The dense strands of hair were hard and swift!
"Arm Point!"
Facing the storm-like attack, Chopper's gaze was resolute; he didn't dodge in the slightest. At this moment, his eyes were fixed only on Kumadori!
Puchi! Chii! Chii!
The sharp, pointed hair continuously tore through his flesh. Chopper endured the intense pain, letting blood fly as he charged towards his opponent, hooves brought together, a red glint flashing in his eyes.
"Damn it!"
Kumadori, his joints bound by Robin's dozens of arms, couldn't execute Soru or Geppo to dodge at this moment.
"Tekkai: Gou!!" (Iron Mass: Steel!!)
Seeing Chopper charging with unstoppable momentum, Kumadori looked alarmed. He could only grit his teeth, tensing his entire body, unleashing his strongest defensive technique.
The next moment, he seemed to see countless cherry blossoms falling!
"Kokutei: Sakura Blizzard!!" (Hoof Print: Falling Sakura Profusion!!)
Chopper roared fiercely, concentrating all his strength into his arms. His hooves, like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms, lashed out frantically, pounding violently against Kumadori's body.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The air rippled with impact after impact, like a storm beating down on a calm lake. Kumadori's entire body was battered, skin splitting and flesh mangled, leaving behind countless sakura-shaped imprints.
The power was so great it seemed capable of shattering even steel, each palm strike delivered with full force in continuous succession!
"Three seconds left!"
Kumadori's body was continuously beaten back. Chopper pressed close, roaring deeply, and before his strength was exhausted, unleashed his strongest blow!
"GO DOWN!!!"
BANG!!
As his hooves struck down fiercely, Kumadori's body shot backward like a cannonball!
He skidded headfirst, plowing a trench dozens of meters long, until crashing heavily into a corner of the wall.
BANG!!
The wall instantly cracked and spread, stone fragments continuously falling and burying him. Kumadori's eyes rolled back white, completely losing consciousness, unable to rise again!
"I won... I won..."
Chopper involuntarily reverted to his small, cute form, his body toppling backward onto the ground. He panted heavily, a joyful grin spreading across his lips.
"I did it... Did everyone see!? I beat him!"
"Nice job, Chopper."
Reiner strode forward, lifted Chopper with one hand, and placed him on his shoulder, chuckling softly. "You fought honorably until the very end. Like a real man."
"Even if you call me a man..."
Chopper lay limply on his shoulder, blushing as he said weakly, "...it won't make me happy, you bastard~~"
"Hurry up, let's go."
Reiner walked towards the door, Frieren monitoring the movements of the entire island. "The Marines outside seem to be making a move again. Now that my stamina has recovered, it's time for me to head back."
Just as his words fell, several brown sand walls erupted from the ground, surrounding Reiner and the others.
BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! Countless cannonballs flew in, and violent explosions echoed continuously, the soaring flames intercepted by the sand walls outside.
