Chapter 188 'Okama Kenpou'

At the Alubarna palace, a voice commands, "Destroy..." followed by a shocked "WHAT!?". The grand, multi-tiered palace of the royal family is shown with its large domes and towers. In the courtyard, Commander Chaka, in his jackal guard uniform, speaks urgently to Princess Vivi. "THIS HAS BEEN THE PALACE FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY FOR OVER 4000 YEARS!" he exclaims. The royal guards stand in formation behind them, looking distressed. One guard shouts, "WHAT'RE YOU SAYING, PRINCESS!?" while another pleads, "PLEASE ABANDON SUCH FOOLISH IDEAS!" Chaka looks down at Vivi, his face stern but desperate, and begs, "PRINCESS VIVI! PLEASE!" Vivi stands resolute, her face bruised and bandaged, listening to their protests.

Chaka continues to plead with Vivi, his expression intense. "THE KING MIGHT BE AWAY, BUT YOU CANNOT APPROVE OF SUCH A RIDICULOUS PLAN!" he argues. A guard in the background adds, "COMMANDER CHAKA, DO NOT MAKE THE WRONG DECISION!" Vivi stares back at Chaka with unwavering determination, her eyes fierce despite her injuries. Chaka looks at her, sweat forming on his face as he realizes her resolve. Vivi simply states, "THE COUNTRY IS ITS PEOPLE." Chaka is taken aback, murmuring, "...Princess." Accepting her decision, Chaka drops to his knees and bows deeply before her in the palace courtyard. "WE SHALL DO AS YOU SAY," he declares loudly. The royal guards standing behind them are completely shocked by this turn of events, exclaiming "!!!?".

The scene shifts to the streets of Alubarna, where a fierce battle is taking place. Sanji is lying face down on the cobblestone ground, heavily bruised and bleeding from his head. Mr. 2 Bon Clay stands triumphantly over him, pressing his swan-tipped shoe firmly onto the back of Sanji's head. Mr. 2 laughs mockingly, "Gahahaha! You turned out to be all talk, didn't you!?" He taunts the fallen cook further, asking, "Has the first-rate cook got any strength to even stand up now?" Sanji struggles under the weight of Mr. 2's foot, his face contorted in pain and anger as he tries to push himself up from the ground.

Sanji glares up from the ground, his face covered in blood and dirt, and growls, "DON'T GET COCKY WITH ME, YOU GOD-DAMNED..." He thinks to himself, "DON'T THINK I'LL CONTINUE TO TAKE YOUR ABUSE LYING DOWN...! NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU RESEMBLE NAMI, YOU'RE STILL THE SAME OKAMA INSIDE!" However, Mr. 2 suddenly uses his Devil Fruit power to transform his face and body into a perfect replica of Nami. Seeing Nami's face, Sanji instantly loses his composure, his eyes turning into giant hearts as he swoons, "Okamaaa! <3". He mentally curses his own weakness, thinking, "DAMMIT NAMI, YOU'RE JUST TOO CUTE!" Mr. 2, fully utilizing Nami's appearance, poses seductively. He slightly opens his top, blushing and panting, and says in a feminine voice, "Oh, this country's just soooo hooot... It just makes me wanna strip off all my clothes... <3". Sanji is completely captivated by the display.

Completely falling for the trick, Sanji rushes over to the Nami lookalike on his knees, his eyes still shaped like hearts, and eagerly offers, "May I help?" Suddenly, Mr. 2, still in Nami's form, strikes Sanji with a brutal karate chop to the head, yelling, "OKAMA CHOP!" Sanji is sent crashing to the ground. Mr. 2 immediately transforms back to his normal, heavily made-up face, laughing maniacally, "SILLY GOOSE!" Sanji recoils in pain, clutching his face and screaming, "MY EYE!" Without missing a beat, Mr. 2 follows up with a powerful kick, shouting, "KICK POINTE!" The heavy sole of his swan shoe slams directly into Sanji's face, sending him flying backward from the impact.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay strikes a dramatic pose, laughing uproariously, "GAHA HAHA HAHA!" Sanji is shown on his hands and knees, panting and heavily battered. He glares at his opponent, muttering, "Ngh... I've just about had it up to here with your games...!" Mr. 2 suddenly plucks the swan-shaped mascara from his eyes with a "PLUCK" sound. He throws them like projectiles, shouting, "MASCARA BOOMERANG!" The sharp boomerangs spin rapidly towards Sanji. Sanji quickly dodges out of the way. Seeing Sanji prepare to counterattack, Mr. 2 instantly transforms back into Nami. He cowers defensively, crying out in a high-pitched voice, "Kyaa! Please don't kick me! <3" Sanji, mid-kick, is forced to abruptly halt his attack, sweating profusely as he cannot bring himself to strike Nami's face.

Because Sanji stopped his attack, he is struck in the back by the returning mascara boomerangs, crying out "UGHH!" as they slice into him. Mr. 2 catches the boomerangs with a "CLACK!", shouting "MASCARA CATCH!" Still wearing Nami's face, Mr. 2 smiles wickedly and says, "As much as I'd loooove to play around with you some more, I'm afraid I haven't got the time! I've got myself a princess to kill, after all!" Sanji glares at him, enraged by the threat to Vivi. Mr. 2 transforms back to his normal self and begins to spin rapidly on his toes like a ballerina. "So I do believe it's time to finish you off for good!" he declares. As he spins faster and faster, he chants, "SPIN, SPIN, SPIN! I'LL SPIN UNTIL MY VERY PASSION BURNS THROUGH THESE SLIPPERS!"

Mr. 2 Bon Clay launches himself towards Sanji like a human tornado, shouting his technique name: "OKAMA KENPOU! MÉMOIRES OF THAT SUMMER DAY!" He spins across the street, kicking up dust and debris. Sanji barely manages to dodge the high-speed spinning attack, panting heavily, "HUFF... HUFF..." As Sanji watches Mr. 2's movements, he notices something and thinks, "Hmm? Could it be?" Mr. 2 doesn't let up, immediately launching another precise kick aimed at Sanji's face, yelling, "JOUE! (Cheek)". Sanji leans back, narrowly avoiding the sharp tip of Mr. 2's swan shoe as it slices through the air right in front of him.

Sanji performs a backward handspring to evade Mr. 2's relentless assault. Mr. 2's missed kick slams into the stone wall of a nearby building with a massive "SHOOT!", causing a large explosion of rubble and dust. Sanji lands gracefully on his feet a short distance away, exhaling a sharp "GAHH!" as he recovers his stance. He looks at Mr. 2 through the settling dust, a confident smirk appearing on his bruised face. "I've finally figured the secret behind your fruit..." Sanji declares, having deduced the weakness in Mr. 2's Mane Mane no Mi powers during their exchanges.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay reacts with exaggerated shock and anger, yelling, "WHAAAT!? WHAT'RE YOU ACTING SO CHEEKY ABOUT ALL OF A SUDDEN!? JUST WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOU'VE FIGURED OUT ABOUT MY FRUIT!?" Sanji calmly explains his deduction: "You can't use your Okama Kenpou when you're in Nami's body, am I right? Of course, I can't attack you either then..." Sanji continues, pointing out the flaw, "But just before you can attack me... You'll always turn back into an okama, By touching your face with your left hand..." Mr. 2 breaks into a nervous sweat, forcing a loud "GAHAHAHA!" laugh. Sanji smirks, "Bull's-eye, huh." Mr. 2 tries to play dumb, sweating profusely with a panicked expression, "W-whaaat? What was that again!? I couldn't hear you at all!"

Sanji stands tall, lighting a cigarette as he confidently addresses Mr. 2. "It's just as you said! Without this supple body I've trained everyday, I caaannn't uuuuussseeee my Okama Kenpou! But so what!? You're already in pretty bad shape!" Sanji mocks Mr. 2's previous statements. Mr. 2, dropping the act, strikes a dramatic ballet pose, spreading his arms wide. "SOOOOO WHAAT!?" he yells back defiantly. He prepares for his next move, announcing, "And on top of that! It's now time for my Okama Kenpou's... PRIMA!" The swan heads on his shoulders seem to perk up as he gets into a specialized fighting stance.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay points to the swan decorations on his shoulders, explaining, "And let me just add this! The one on your right is male, while the one on the left is female." Sanji, unimpressed and annoyed, retorts, "LIKE I CARE!" Mr. 2 laughs boisterously, "GAHAHAHA! Well, we'll just see how much you care when you get a taste of 'em!" He launches into a rapid-fire kicking assault, shouting, "OKAMA KENPOU- BOMBARDIER!" The panel shows a flurry of kicks, with the swan heads on his shoes striking out like a barrage of missiles towards Sanji.

Sanji desperately dodges the barrage of kicks. One of Mr. 2's kicks misses Sanji and strikes the stone wall behind him with a loud "PIERCE!". Sanji looks back in shock, exclaiming, "AH-" as he sees a perfectly round, deep hole punched straight through the thick stone. "W-WHAT'S WITH THAT HOLE HIS KICK LEFT ON THE WALL...!?" Sanji wonders aloud, sweating. Mr. 2 laughs triumphantly, "GAHAHAHA! Correct! Dodging was the correct answer!" He then reveals the secret behind the destructive power, pointing to the swan head on his shoe: "A curved neck! And a steel bill!" The swan's beak is shown to be made of solid steel.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay continues to explain his technique, posing confidently. "It's best to think of my kicks as a rifle shot, But one with quite a laaaarrge bullet! When true power is concentrated onto a single point, It causes no unnecessary destruction!" He then launches another fierce attack, leaping towards Sanji with a powerful kick. "ALLOW ME TO GIVE YOUR BODY SOME VENTILATION! DEUX!" he shouts. Sanji barely manages to lean back, dodging the steel-billed kick that grazes past him. "WHOA!" Sanji yells, followed by a grunt of pain, "NGH! UN!" as the sheer force of the near-miss affects him.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay continues his relentless assault, throwing another high kick and shouting, "ORAA!" Sanji quickly ducks under the attack and counters with a sweeping kick of his own, yelling, "COLLIER!" However, Mr. 2 anticipates the counter and swiftly leaps backward, dodging Sanji's leg. "I DON'T THINK SOOOO!" Mr. 2 taunts as he evades. He lands gracefully and immediately prepares for his next move, his steel-billed swan shoes ready to strike again.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay lands a devastating kick on Sanji, sending him crashing into the ground with a loud "UGH!". Mr. 2 laughs maniacally, "GAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA! LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!" Sanji struggles on the ground, thinking in frustration, "DAMN IT! HIS RANGE IS SO MUCH LONGER!" Capitalizing on his advantage, Mr. 2 leaps high into the air above the city streets. "FLY, FLY, WATCH ME FLY!" he sings out. He prepares a diving attack, shouting, "OKAMA KENPOU- MÉMOIRES OF THAT WINTER SKY!" as he plummets towards the injured Sanji.

Sanji slowly gets to his feet, coughing up blood. He analyzes the situation, thinking, "It'll take longer for him to recover after an attack... If I can dodge the first attack, speed is on my side... But at the same time..." Mr. 2 dives down from the sky, screaming, "REST! IN! PEACE!" However, mid-dive, Mr. 2 uses his Devil Fruit power to transform his face into Nami's once again. He laughs wickedly, "Gahahaha! Too bad so sad! Let's see you attack this!" knowing Sanji's weakness for women will prevent him from countering.

As Mr. 2 dives towards him with Nami's face, Sanji calmly points and says, "Hey, I think you've got something on your cheek." Falling for the trick, Mr. 2 (as Nami) instinctively reaches up with his left hand to touch his cheek, asking, "Huh? Really?" The moment his left hand touches his face, his Devil Fruit power deactivates, and he transforms back into his normal, okama appearance, gasping "AH-". Seizing the perfect opportunity, Sanji delivers a devastating, full-power kick directly into Mr. 2's exposed side. "BASSES-CÔTES (Bottom-Ribs)" Sanji shouts as his foot connects with a massive impact. Mr. 2 is sent flying violently through the air, coughing up blood and screaming "BUHAH!?".
