Chapter 228: Law's Proposal



"Hehehehehe!" Cherry laughed.

"Stop it! Why don't you think of a way to fix us instead of mocking us!" Chopper (Nami) shouted at her.

"Hehehe! I must say that Law's devil fruit is very mysterious. To think he could swap your consciousnesses..." Cherry said. "As for putting you all back in the right bodies, I'm not really sure to even start. Some devil fruit powers will cease to function when the user is knocked unconscious or killed, but I don't think the odds are high that Law's devil fruit is that type." "It's worth a try. Go kick his ass, Cherry!" Chopper (Nami) demanded.

"No need to hurry. We'll run into him eventually." Cherry dismissed.

"Chopper, where are those rumble ball things that turn you into a monster? I need them to teach Cherry a lesson." Chopper (Nami) said to Jinbe (Chopper).

"Oiiii!" A distant shout called their attention and saved Chopper's body from getting beat up, much to Jinbe's (Chopper's) relief.

The rest of the crew, minus Cabernet and Merry, came wandering over atop an alligator centaur who didn't seem very happy to be a mode of transportation.

"Shishishi, you guys are here too!" Luffy chuckled.

"My legs?!" The samurai's head cried out at the sight of his lower half stuck to Luffy's back.

After a brief altercation in which Luffy didn't want to surrender the legs, losing his own centaur status in the process, the samurai cried tears of relief and joy at being made at least partially whole once again.

"I'll never take my legs for granted ever again! I swear it on my life!" the samurai cried.

Momonosuke seemed to be trying to take something from this lesson as well, looking down at his own legs with a serious expression.

"Where are we going to go now? All these kids won't fit comfortably on the Sunny, and we definitely won't be able to feed them all." Nami (Franky) said in a rare moment of seriousness that was ruined by the fact that the winter coat the samurai made for him was wide open as he posed with his arms in the air.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Franky, I told you to stop making my body do weird things, damn it!" Chopper (Nami) shouted at him.

"Franky?" Luffy asked, looking at Nami's body in confusion.

Something occurred to Cherry at that moment. A nugget of truth hidden amongst the lies. "Was your master the one who said he'd soon be recognised as the world's greatest scientist

soon?"

"Yes, of course! I don't know a thing about science, so naturally I'd listen to my betters on the subject." Brownbeard spoke with pride.

His words painted an image of arrogance in the minds of those who bothered to listen, but Cherry's mind was connecting bits and pieces of information. She suddenly stood up with a

jolt.

"We have to get off this island." Cherry said. "As soon as possible."

"Why do we have to do that?" Jinbe (Chopper) asked, fluttering his eyelashes innocently.

'Since when were my eyelashes so long?' Usopp (Jinbe) wondered.

"There's a high chance Punk Hazard is going to have a second disaster, and soon. This one is likely much worse than the one that destroyed all life on the island four years ago." Cherry

said darkly.

"You think Vegapunk is coming back to stop my master from usurping his title?!" Brownbeard asked with shock.

"No, idiot. Your master was the one who ruined the island the first time. I mean, the guy

literally gave you fools poison gas weapons and you never stopped to think maybe he was the one who made the massive poison weapon four years ago?" Cherry looked at him scornfully, scarcely believing somebody could be so stupid.

"T-that can't be... can it...?" Brownbeard found it hard to be confident, but his loyalty to the man who saved him and his crew wasn't easily shaken either.

"That's all the more reason we should act quickly. If you're willing to make an alliance with me, Straw Hat Luffy." Trafalgar Law said, appearing from around a corner.

"Hm? What for?" Luffy asked.

"To take down one of the Four Emperors." Law said, eyes blazing with determination.
