Straw Hats Versus Two Warlords Part 2

As the castle slowly transformed, it turned into a sand castle. The bricks and concrete changed into sand. The ground and the ceilings changed into sand.

Everything changed into sand except for its shape. It was still the same castle.

"Wow! I didn't know you could do this, Vivi." Chopper returned to his cute form and spoke. His face was almost dropping to the ground in shock.

"It's indeed a great move. But, how long can you hold it with your physical strength?" Kuma asked, not bothered by her grand move.

Vivi was sweating hard. This move costs a lot of stamina. If she hadn't used that potion, she wouldn't be able to do it.

But even with that boost, this move was still too hard for someone like her.

Listening to his tone, Vivi knew she couldn't hide her weakness. The fact was clear. Her physical strength was weaker than most men in this crew.

Even among females, she was the weakest in terms of physical strength.

Of course, that's because Liam had taken extra care to train Nami while Robin had been escaping from the world her entire life.

"Even so, it is more than enough to keep you busy until my friends arrive. I know your move. You can instantly teleport anyone you touch to another place."

"I am pretty sure that without enough Haki, it is not possible to block your attack. Considering our strength, all three of us do not have enough Haki to block your attack."

"But this is my Kingdom now. This is my castle. Everything that you do can not escape my eyes."

"Like this."

As soon as she said, Vivi controlled her hand and caught Kuma's palm, covering it with sand.

In an instant, she made it impossible for him to use his move.

But of course, Kuma was a veteran pirate. He could easily use his Haki to counter her move.

And that's exactly what he did. He also found that even with a little bit of Haki, he was able to counter her sand.

'So, even though her range has improved a lot, it is still very weak to Haki. So, she isn't using Haki to reinforce her Sand. Come to think of it, she can't even use Haki, right?'

Kuma thought to himself and nodded.

Vivi wasn't capable of using Haki, especially since she hadn't trained much. But she was very close to awakening Armament Haki.

As for Observation Haki, she had already awakened it. But it wouldn't be that useful in this battle since her physical strength was already consumed by her Sand Castle.

As soon as Kuma found her weakness, he dashed towards her. Instead of using his move, he decided to use Haki and physical strength.

Since he was made into a cyborg, his body was almost made out of iron and metal parts which gave him a lot of durability.

Kuma ran in front of Vivi and punched forward. His punch coated with Armament Haki could do some serious damage, but Vivi wasn't going to let him attack her.

She controlled her sand and instantly wrapped Kuma with it. Before even Kuma could react, he was alone in the room.

His Armament Haki started countering the sand as it fell. When Kuma used his Observation Haki, he found Vivi's presence in another room.

'So, she can even move the rooms in this castle.'

It might look like he was displaced, but the truth was different. Her Sand didn't have the power to move him.

Instead, she used her sand to hold him down so that she and her crew could.

"Vivi, we can not run away. His Observation Haki can sense us. We will fight him, and you will cover us."

Chopper spoke with a serious tone. Unlike Vivi, he only had Armament Haki, but even he knew it wouldn't take Kuma more than a few seconds to find her.

"Alright, Chopper! I will give you my best support. Wait, another helper has arrived."

Vivi bit her lips and nodded. Originally, she thought this move would help her fight against Kuma, but she underestimated her consumption and her opponent's strength.

In her previous move, she was supposed to move him but she couldn't do it because of his immense Armament Haki.

Realizing this, she knew she could only prevent him from using his Devil Fruit at critical moments, so she decided to follow Chopper's advice.

At the same time, she also found another presence in the castle and immediately opened several walls.

"Hello, Vivi-san! I knew something big was happening when the entire castle turned into sand. I am not late, am I?" Brook asked as he walked into the room.

"No, you are just in time, Brook-san."

Vivi shook her head and replied.

"So, where is this warlord?" Brook asked. Just as he spoke, the sand wall on the other side tore down as Kuma walked into the room.

"Here he comes."

Chopper took a deep breath and looked at Franky. Both nodded their heads, and the next moment, they dashed toward Kuma.

[Strong Right]

[Heavy Kong]

Chopper and Franky shot their fists at the same time. While Franky's hand was made out of metal, Chopper had Armament covering his fist.

As they jumped and jumped, Kuma instinctively used his palms to block their attacks, but the sand instantly covered his palms and made it unable to use his devil fruit as he wished.

Bang!

But of course, this was Kuma and his Devil Fruit. Even with Vivi's sand blocking those paws in his palms, he had more than enough power to deflect the sand.

He released so much force that even Chopper and Franky were sent flying.

Vivi quickly caught them with her sand hands and pulled them down.

"Damn it! This bastard has too much power."

Franky cursed as he got up from the sand. At this moment, Brook suddenly appeared behind Kuma and closed the cane in his hand.

[Arrow Notch Slash]

Crack!

A large cut appeared on Kuma's chest, but it only pierced the skin and didn't even reach the muscles.

Of course, Kuma didn't have muscles, which Brook also noticed and shouted.

"Miss Vivi, his body is made out of some kind of metal."

"Wait, how did you do that?" Vivi was in shock when she saw Brook landing a proper blow on Kuma. She had seen his strength.

At best, he was comparable to Chopper without his strongest form and stronger than Franky.

But Vivi was smart. She instantly drilled a hole underneath Chopper and helped him reach behind Kuma.

Chopper poured Armament Haki into his fist and punched forward.

This time, Kuma managed to react. He turned around and punched as well.

Bang!

Their fists collided in the middle, causing Chopper to grit his teeth. He was losing strength and skill.

Kuma's strength and Armament Haki were better than his. In an instant, he got the upper hand.

But, from behind, a powerful blast of concentrated air came. Before Kuma could react, it struck him on the back.

[Coup de Vent]

At this moment, Brook suddenly appeared in mid-air, caught Chopper, and moved out of the way of Kuma.

While this was happening, Vivi transformed the walls back into their original form as Kuma flew towards them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Kuma crashed against several walls and flew out of the castle. His body flew several hundred meters away from the castle.

At this moment, Zoro, who was also running around the sand castle, saw the entrance to the castle and smiled.

"So, that's where doors are."

"Hooo! That worked but now, I am out of Cola." Franky sighed a breath of relief as he gave Vivi a thumbs up.

"That was a wonderful strategy, Miss Vivi. How did you know he wouldn't be able to counter Franky's move?" Brook asked while putting Chopper down.

"Because when you attacked, he couldn't react either. I have seen the reaction speed of Zoro and Sanji. They should easily be able to block your attack after blocking Chopper's and Franky's."

"So, when I thought about it, I remembered Liam calling him a cyborg. Then, I realized his brain works like a machine, one thing at a time."

Brook was surprised. You know, when she made this strategy, only five seconds had passed. That meant not only did she figure out Kuma's weakness in five seconds, but she also made a counterattack.

"Fortunately, that strategy worked. Because I am out of Cola." Franky shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

Suddenly, Vivi's expression turned pale. Before she could say anything, Kuma instantly appeared in front of them.

Except for his torn clothes, he barely had any deep wounds. The only wound was the one Brook gave him, and it revealed some of his mechanical parts.

"That was a nice strategy. Unfortunately, I am a Pacifista made by the Greatest Scientist of all time."

"Let's end this battle."

Kuma said as he pressed his palm forward. At this moment, he was targeting Franky, who was unable to move.

"No!"
