Chapter 192: It's Just a Prank Bro



The promised date of the Straw Hat's reunion.

"Ehhhhh?! Robin?! But I saw you get kidnapped by world government agents?!" Chopper cried out in confusion when he ran into Robin, Nami, and Usopp.

"Did you now?" Robin giggled.

"That wasn't Robin, Chopper. That was one of the fake Straw Hats that have been

impersonating us," Nami explained patiently.

"Really?!" Chopper felt very flustered. "I suppose she didn't really smell like Robin..."

"Oh, what do I smell like?" Robin asked curiously.

"Like old books and coffee," Chopper said, sniffing at Robin's shoulder.

"Now do me! Do me next!" Usopp exclaimed.

Chopper sniffed at him. "You used to smell like rubber and gunpowder, but now you mostly spell like strange plants."

"That makes sense, I've mostly shifted away from gunpowder ammunition in favor of my pop greens," Usopp nodded his head.

Chopper sniffed at Nami. "Nami smells like oranges and... Nami do you have a problem you'd like to tell me about? There are many ways to curb addictions to illicit substances that I can help you with."

"What?! No I don't!" Nami denied.

Robin giggled before speaking up to explain. "It's the money, Nami. People use Beri bills to snort... stuff. The Beri bills we get a hold of are even worse given how often they're in the hands of pirates."

"I guess I do spend a little too much time counting it... but Chopper, you shouldn't be saying stuff like this in public. What about doctor/patient confidentiality?" Nami complained with a pout.

"It's okay because I knew you weren't on anything. There's no way Nami would waste money like that, ehehe." Chopper laughed.

"Hahaha, Chopper has you all figured out, Nami!" Usopp mocked.

By the time the four of them had reached the ship, Usopp sported a new red bump on his head.

Chopper greeted Cabernet and Merry joyfully. They had a unique relationship amongst the crew, with Cabernet and Merry both being ships, Chopper and Merry being animals, and Cabernet and chopper being human zoan fruits.

Cherry had previously said that Luffy's fruit was a Zoan, but they weren't really sure if he had a human zoan fruit or something else. After all, none of them had ever heard of people with rubbery flesh that were immune to bullets.

"So where is everyone else?" Chopper asked.

"Luffy has yet to arrive as far as we know. Brook is doing some kind of concert. Zoro wandered off somewhere as always and Sanji went looking for him," Franky answered, coming above deck.

Usopp and Chopper squealed in delight at the sight of his "magnificent" cyborg form.

"Luffy has, in fact, arrived on the archipelago." Rayleigh said, walking over with Shakky behind him. "As for Cherry, she's up to no good I expect. She was drawing up some sort of blueprint for a contraption in the bar yesterday, and giggling menacingly all the while."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A shiver went down their spines and they asked nothing more about Cherry.

...

"I'm so disappointed in you boys. Don't you know it's rude to try to spoil a lady's fun?" Cherry asked rhetorically.

The marines she had caught spying on the meeting place of the fake Straw Hats couldn't respond through the gags in their mouths. They couldn't put up much of a fight either given that they were buried in the tree up to their necks, and quite firmly so.

skin. Cherry had worked very hard to make objects retain her devil fruit's fusing property for a short period after she was no longer in physical contact. Smaller objects, such as this glitter, retained it longer than larger ones.

"Who the hell thinks they can joke around with Straw Hat Luffy?!" The fake Luffy shouted

angrily.

"Me?" Cherry dropped down directly in front of him.

"*PSSSSSSSSS* The sound of sizzling flesh.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Fake Luffy screeched in agony, clutching his chest as he

doubled over to the ground.

Cherry turned to look at the other fakes with the visage of a laughing devil.

The custom made brand in her hand was then clearly seen by them and the crowd. A white hot

claw mark, the very same that the celestial dragon's put on their slaves.

"That's Cheapshot Cherry!" A voice shouted from the crowd.

The silence was palpable. At least it was until Cherry vanished from her place and another

scream, this time from fake Zoro, cried out.

Pandemonium was unleashed. It was very clear to everyone but the dullest of fools what was going on here. These Straw Hats were fake, and now the real Harpin D. Cherry had come to punish them with a damned celestial dragon slave brand. They all had the same thought. 'Don't fuck with Cheapshot Cherry.'

Cherry managed to brand about half of the fakes when the marines stormed the clearing along

with the pacifistas. That made it a bit more difficult, but Cherry was persistent and managed

to get them all in the end.

Thankfully Luffy had run off instead of sticking around. Otherwise he might have even attacked Cherry for 'hurting their friends'.

As Cherry turned to make a retreat, a pacifista blocked her path.

"You aren't going anywhere, Cheapshot!" Sentomaru's voice carried across the battlefield as

he charged towards her.

Cherry didn't stop, slow down, or even change directions in the slightest.

*Crunch!**BOOM!!!*

Instead, she directly ran THROUGH the pacifista, leaving a Cherry sized hole in her wake

before it exploded.

Between her Hasshoken, armament haki, and devil fruit, these mechanical soldiers weren't

even worth the scrap they made them from in front of her now. If they could use haki, they might have proven to be a challenge, but these were only corpses without wills of their own. As Sentomaru lamented the loss of a battleship's worth of funding destroyed just like that,

Cherry shouted to him. "Sorry, I don't have the time to catch up! I hope we meet again, sumo

guy!"

With that, Cherry accelerated to full speed and disappeared.
