Franky Wins, Chopper vs. Kumadori

Comments immediately appeared on the screen, poking fun at Franky's bizarre setup. {Th-this is a cyborg?! Th-that's hilarious! Hahaha!}

{Hahaha, it's my first time seeing someone use cola as their source of life. That's so funny!}

{That Chopper definitely did it on purpose, but I really want to see what other drinks would do to Franky!}

{What would happen if his drink were replaced with alcohol?! Would he get completely drunk and start using drunken fist? Hahaha!}

In the New World, on Egghead.

"Hee hee hee, that cyborg in the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates is so much fun! He actually uses cola as his power source. I've never seen that before," Lilith, the evil satellite, said with a hand over her mouth.

"And different drinks have different effects on him. I really want to capture him and study him," Edison, the thinking satellite, said curiously, scratching his head.

"Edison, you shouldn't be thinking things like that. You're not Lilith." Shaka, the good satellite, rapped him on the head and cautioned him. Then he muttered softly, "Though he really is worth studying."

"Cola?! That's a promising avenue of research. I'll try it sometime," Vegapunk, the main body, murmured, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

High in the sky, in the Jianying video on the screen, Chopper told Franky that Zoro and Usopp were handcuffed together and needed key number two to unlock the cuffs. Franky immediately said he would help find it.

Just then, Fukurou, whom Franky had hammered outside earlier, suddenly got up and strode menacingly toward him and Chopper.

Franky immediately told Chopper to stay where he was and watch closely. He was about to use a new weapon!

Then, under Chopper's eager gaze, he took off his coat, revealing two pitch-black cannon barrels, one on each shoulder.

Next, he raised his shoulders and told Chopper that these were no ordinary rockets, but homing shells.

Chopper's eyes instantly filled with admiration. Then Franky fired several shells at Fukurou.

Fukurou immediately turned and ran, with Franky chasing right after him.

Only then did Chopper understand that by homing shells, Franky meant that he personally chased the enemy. Chopper couldn't help making a jab at him.

Franky pursued Fukurou all the way, fighting him from the balcony into the sky, from the sky to the bottom of the sea, and then from the seabed back into the sky again.

For a time, the two were evenly matched, neither able to break away.

In the end, Franky used Franky Centaur to bind Fukurou's limbs tightly, then fired a Coup de Vent at his head. The blast sent Fukurou crashing into the ground and blew a huge crater in it. Fukurou promptly passed out, unable to fight.

System text immediately appeared: "The Straw Hat Luffy Pirates' shipwright, Franky, vs. CP9 member Fukurou."

"Winner: the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates' shipwright, Franky."

Meanwhile, Chopper had been lying by the edge of the balcony, watching the fight with great interest. Just as it ended, a loud crash suddenly came from the storeroom behind him. He hurriedly looked back and saw that the large refrigerator Kumadori had been trapped in had been smashed open, and Kumadori had stepped out.

But now he had grown an entire size fatter, and all the food in the refrigerator had vanished. Clearly, he had eaten it!

Chopper couldn't help remarking that he had no self-control.

To his surprise, Kumadori didn't care at all. He sprang into the air, then told Chopper to watch closely. He used Life Return to digest everything he had just eaten in an instant, turning skinny again.

The move left Chopper utterly stunned, and he immediately asked Kumadori to do it again.

So, at Chopper's request, Kumadori repeatedly made himself fat and skinny again. Only when he was exhausted and gasping for breath did he realize Chopper had been making a fool of him.

Furious and embarrassed, he immediately attacked Chopper. First, he thrust his long hair at him, but Chopper dodged it easily. Then he leaped high, gripped his staff, and thrust it at Chopper with the Shigan of the Six Powers. Chopper dodged that too, but the thrust left a deep hole in the storeroom floor.

Chopper knew he couldn't just keep dodging, so he raised a hand and punched Kumadori.

To his surprise, Kumadori blocked it with Tekkai. Kumadori was unharmed, but Chopper's hand turned bright red, and waves of pain traveled up his arm to his brain.

Chopper knew that without a Rumble Ball, he couldn't defeat an opponent of this caliber. But Rumble Balls were a powerful drug, and he could only take one every six hours. Taking too many would overload his body. He had already taken one while fighting Kumadori earlier, and if he took another now, he might lose control of himself.

For a moment, Chopper was torn.

Nami had already stolen the key Kumadori carried, so Chopper had no need to keep fighting him. But he didn't want Kumadori interfering with his other companions.

In the end, Chopper gritted his teeth and ate another Rumble Ball. His body was instantly enhanced, though he couldn't fully control those enhancements, and they would only last three minutes.

Even so, Chopper steeled himself and fought Kumadori. And so, the two waged a fierce battle inside the small storeroom.

Because Chopper couldn't control his body's enhancements, mishaps kept occurring during the fight, and he was beaten nearly half to death.

Finally, just as the Rumble Ball's effects were about to wear off, he managed to gain control of his body. Using Arm Point, he struck Kumadori with Hoof Print: Cherry Blossom Flurry.

Kumadori took the attack head-on with Tekkai: Steel, but Chopper's move nearly knocked him unconscious.

Down on one knee, Kumadori shakily stood up. Chopper lay on the floor, the drug's effects having completely worn off. Kumadori first stomped heavily on his head, then kicked him into a wall and followed up with a barrage of Rankyaku. Finally, he restrained Chopper with his long hair and aimed his staff at him, preparing to deliver the final blow.

Feeling the threat of death, Chopper could no longer heed Kureha's warning. With great difficulty, he pulled out a third Rumble Ball and swallowed it.
