Chapter 190 · Clima-Tact

00AI-written

The chapter title page reads "Chapter 190 'Clima-Tact'". Below it, an underwater scene unfolds in the Goldfish Empire. Hachi, the octopus fishman, lunges forward with a wide grin, arms outstretched as he receives a gleaming golden trident from above. Bubbles trail behind the weapon. A crowd of fishmen and sea creatures cheers wildly beneath a large arch labeled "GOLDFISH EMPIRE". The Goldfish Princess watches among them. At the bottom, a caption states: "HACHI'S OCEAN FLOOR STROLL VOL. 8 'HACHI RECEIVES A GOLDEN TRIDENT AS A REWARD'".

Nami runs desperately, sweat flying, gasping "IT'S NO GOOD... I CAN'T OUTRUN THEM ANY LONGER..." with heavy "HUFF HUFF" breaths and small panting effects. In a sunlit town square with palm trees and arched buildings, a tall man in a long coat stands with his back partly turned, a large "オオオオオ" sound effect behind him as he declares "I HAVE TO FI-". Nami glares back with a fierce expression. A woman with a large afro stands nearby with one hand on her hip, saying "CLARE". The man, wearing a coat marked with the kanji "吉", also says "CLARE".

Nami shouts "NOPE." and dashes away with motion lines and a "DASH!" effect. The afro-haired woman remarks "Aren't you impatient..." while the tall man replies "How tiresome...". The man suddenly lunges forward with a dramatic black cape flare and outstretched hands, grabbing toward Nami. She ducks and twists away with a startled "!". Large impact effects "ババババ" fill the panel. Nami cries out "AHH!" and "HUH!I" in shock as the attack lands near her.

Zoro clashes violently with the afro-haired woman in mid-air, blades drawn as spikes fly everywhere. She is hurled backward with limbs flailing. A large "!!I" reaction bubble appears. In a close-up, Nami yells "ZORO!". Zoro, sweating and focused, glares ahead with a small "!" effect. In the background, the tall man and the woman lie defeated on the ground near a stone tower, their bodies crumpled amid dust clouds.

A massive vertical slash rips through the stone pillar and surrounding buildings with explosive force. Debris flies everywhere as the impact sends shockwaves down the ruined street. A cloaked figure in black stands in the foreground while a swordsman in a striped coat holds his blade ready. Someone shouts in shock, "!!!I" The narration reads "ゴロゴロ" as the pillar splits. A woman with light hair stares in disbelief, exclaiming, "THE STONE PILLAR... SPLIT VERTICALLY!I" The swordsman mutters, "SplitI You're mistaken... That was definitely the sound of a blade just now..." while the cloaked man replies, "You're in my way..."

The cloaked man and the swordsman clash violently amid flying rubble. Massive impact SFX "ドゴゴォー" and "CLANG!" echo as blades meet. The woman cries out, "You cut it, didn't youI With that arm of yours..." The cloaked figure remains silent with "......" The swordsman, Roronoa Zoro, looks on and says, "I see..." while the woman reacts with "WHA!I" In a close panel Zoro notes, "That's one hell of a body you've got there..."

Daz Bones stands tall, flexing his transformed arms covered in gleaming blades. He declares, "I've eaten the 'Supa Supa' fruit. Making me into a human blade." Flashback panels show a pirate-hunter rejecting Baroque Works. Daz continues, "That cut down 100 bounty-hunters at Whiskey Peak... There was a pirate-hunter who rejected B.W.'s invitation, and killed Mr. 7..." Zoro smirks and replies, "Hearing that sure does take me back... But you know, it was your organization that was at fault for rejecting my conditions..." Daz answers, "Ha, That must've been you as well."

Roronoa ZoroDaz Bones

Zoro stands with swords drawn, stating firmly, "I'LL JOIN ONLY IF I GET TO BE THE BOSS." In the flashback, Daz recounts, "Instead of accepting my offer, that idiot tried to kill me, so I had no choice but to off him." A Baroque Works agent laughs, "Fufufu! What a fool!" Daz adds, "I made myself clear to your agent." Zoro responds with a grin, "Though I have to say, after hearing what a farce your organization is, I'd reject the offer even if I were allowed to become the boss. So have you come to try to persuade me as wellI"

In a fierce clash, Roronoa Zoro swings his swords with explosive force, sending debris flying as massive impact SFX erupt around him. Close-up panels capture his intense glare. "And what if I am...I What does that make you!I" he demands. Another panel shows his gritted teeth: "Thinks he can make a fool out of me...I" A woman with dark curly hair watches with a slight smile, reacting "Ooh-" as the dialogue continues, "A swordsman on a small-time pirate crew like you." The scene shifts to Zoro in motion, cloak billowing. "Or a mindless tin soldier who can only follow orders...I" A large speech balloon declares, "A puppet without a will of its own, strung along by that false bait called 'Utopia'...I"

Ms. Doublefinger stands poised with her weapon, declaring "I'll deal with him," while another voice confirms "That's what you're gonna say, rightI" and receives the reply "Do as you wish." The tall cloaked figure labeled "Ms. Double Finger." looms nearby. In the ruined street, a spiky-haired man sweats and exclaims "...She's not here." A panicked voice shouts "OH CRAP! NAMI!!" Ms. Doublefinger smirks, "Well then, I guess that leaves me with the girl..." Tension rises as a close-up reveals a spiky hand extending with SFX "ゴオオオ.." and a shocked face reacting with "!!!"

An empty alley echoes with "HUFF" sounds as a lone figure stands in the distance. Nami appears in close-up, sweat drops visible, thinking "WEAPON MODIFICATIONI" with a puzzled expression. In a workshop, she sits and explains, "I just want a strong-enough weapon so that I won't be a hindrance to others... Especially for the upcoming battle..." Usopp responds from his workbench, "The heck are you goin' on aboutI" Nami continues, "I know I'm no real fighter, though I do have a good sense of style... And I'm cute..." Usopp replies enthusiastically, "Yes! A new weapon for me!"

NamiUsopp

Nami speaks to Usopp, "...But you know, it won't be long before we arrive at Alabasta." Usopp replies, "You of all people can understand how I feel, right, UsoppI" Nami insists, "For Vivi's sake, I want to be able to fight with my own two hands as well!!" Usopp works at his bench saying "Wait just a second!" and "Sorry for asking..." Nami answers "Oh... Yeah, I guess you can't just expect to become stronger that easily..." She smiles as Usopp presents the finished weapon amid hearts and excited dialogue: "Thank you sooo much!" "Now, about the costs for the materials..." "Then you'll make one for me!I Thank you so much, Usopp! I love you!" Usopp protests, "Uhh, weapons don't come free, y'know..." "Impossible for even Usopp the Great...I" as Nami reacts with shock "Uhh...!I" and the large SFX "どん!" emphasizes the moment.

Nami stands with her back turned, gripping three Clima-Tact rods while thinking, "THAT'S RIGHT... JUST WHAT AM I DOING!I RUNNING AND HIDING FROM PLACE TO PLACE... DIDN'T I MAKE MY MIND UP TO FIGHT!I" In the streets below, she watches the distant battle and resolves, "I WON'T LET THE B.W. DO AS THEY WISH WITH THIS COUNTRY ANY LONGER!" A voice wonders if the others are safe. Nami's face hardens with determination as she declares, "I'M GOING TO GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT!" and "EVEN I CAN TAKE DOWN A SINGLE WOMAN!" She grips the rods tightly, ready to act.

Nami

Nami leaps from a high ledge with the Clima-Tact rods, but is struck mid-air by a powerful blow. She crashes violently into the ground with a loud impact, rolling across the stone. Dazed and bruised, she looks up in shock as sharp spikes suddenly shoot toward her from off-panel. Multiple "POKE! POKE! POKE!" sounds ring out as the thorns strike around her. Nami clutches her arm in pain, eyes wide with surprise at the unexpected attack.

Miss Doublefinger descends dramatically from above in a cloud of smoke and debris, striking a pose with one leg raised. Nami lies on the ground staring up in disbelief. Miss Doublefinger smirks and says, "It's hopeless, missy." with a mocking "Fufufu..." Nami thinks, "SO IS SHE A DEVIL FRUIT USER TOO!I OR DOES SHE HAVE SOME SORT OF SPECIAL SPEAR-LIKE WEAPON...I" while spotting the threat. From the shadows, Miss Doublefinger adds, "It won't matter where you hide or how far you try to run away..."

NamiMiss Doublefinger

Miss Doublefinger stands tall and declares, "After eating the 'Toge Toge Fruit,' I've become a thorn-human. I can grow thorns from any part of my body." She demonstrates by extending massive spikes from her hand. Nami sweats nervously, thinking, "IF I GET CAUGHT EVEN ONCE, I'LL BE PIERCED ALL OVER AND DIE AN EARLY DEATH... THORNS THAT CAN EASILY PIERCE EVEN A SOLID CONCRETE WALL!!!" Nami then steels herself and shouts, "I've got more than a fair chance of winning!" Miss Doublefinger replies, "Don't tell me you're seriously going to try to fight meI" Nami answers, "That's right!" while raising her Clima-Tact rods.

From a high vantage point, Nami aims her new weapon down the street. "USOPP! I'M COUNTING ON YOU!" she calls. "THE CLIMA-TACT! HAVE A TASTE OF MY NEW WEAPON!" she shouts as she fires. In the next panel Nami grips the staff and explains its power: "Depending on how it's assembled, the Clima-Tact can create natural disasters of all kinds! It can conjure clouds! Summon rain! Call forth winds!" She then declares, "NOW I JUST PUSH THIS BUTTON HERE..." and activates it. "FIRST! CLEAR WEATHER!" The weapon produces a bright flash and sound effect "ギャン!!" A close-up shows a surprised face reacting, "WHA...I"

The Clima-Tact fires with a massive "ボワン!!" explosion labeled "TEMPO!" and "FINE-". *tempo: weather in Italian/Portuguese. Colorful pieces and doves burst outward as Nami kneels and laughs, "Kyahaha! How delightful! Doves flew out!" Usopp watches from the side and exclaims, "Wow!" In the next scene Usopp approaches the collapsed Nami and asks, "A... Are you okayI" while sweat drops fall. The weapon then malfunctions violently, sending Nami flying amid debris. Usopp yells in shock, "THE HELL WAS THAT!I"

Nami steadies herself and reads from the manual while aiming again: "ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THIS SHOULD FORM THE RIFLE." She steels herself, thinking, "NO! I'VE GOT TO BELIEVE IN MY CREW-MATES!" The next mode activates with "CLOUDY TEMPO!" and a giant eye-like cloud forms. Usopp shouts, "THIS TIME'S THE REAL THING!" Nami fires, producing "シャキン!!" and the result is a bouquet of flowers. Usopp reacts with surprise, "Such pretty flowers!" while Nami says, "Oh my!" A close-up shows Nami's frustrated face as she sweats and thinks, "POOR GIRL..." The weapon then erupts again with "マジックショーガーン!!" and Nami screams, "HOW THE CRAP CAN I USE THIS!I"

SBS corner. D: What are "Orange Pekoe" and "Apple Tea"I O: Oh I'm sure you can figure out what Apple Tea is, rightI It's a type of tea. And orange pekoe is another kind of tea. It's true that all the members of the BW like different kinds of tea. Mr. 3 likes "Earl Grey", Miss Golden Week likes "green tea", Mr. 5 likes "gunpowder tea", and Miss Valentine likes "lemon tea", and so on. They drink it at a lot of different places. But Mr. 2 likes "takopa". D: Nice to meet you, Oda-sensei. I noticed something when I was re-reading the books. I'm talking about this person (the face on the left) in Volume 18, p.162, 2nd panel, And this person (face on the right) in Volume 19, p. 15, 5th panel. Are they the same personI O: Yes. That's right. You're quite correct. If you look at the current "Rebellion", you'll see a lot of members of the "Suna Suna Clan" in it. Well spotted. It shows an 11 years later comparison of Suna Suna Clan members and notes that most people in the Rebellion call Kouza "Kouza-san", but sometimes hear just "Kouza" or "Leader".
