The avalanche reached the village, in addition to burying even the Lapahns.
Luffy walked through the snow while carrying Nami on his back and Sanji, who was injured due to the avalanche, under his arm.
As he walked, he saw a small Lapahn trying to pull its father out of the snow, so Luffy pulled him out without any problems to keep moving forward.
"I'll take you there," Luffy said, looking at the castle. "So don't die, neither of you!"
Just then, a shout was heard that made Luffy stop.
"There he is, Lord Wapol!"
Wapol alongside two of his subordinates mounted on a strange animal.
"Wait! How dare you humiliate me so many times, brat!" Wapol told him angrily.
"Get out of the way!" Luffy yelled at him.
"Mahahahah! Don't even dream about it! I have no reason to move from here!" Wapol said, and then saw the two injured people. "It looks like those guys you're carrying on your back and under your arm are already almost dead!"
Luffy ignored him and kept moving forward.
"Wait! Hey, Chess, I think I have a new law. Write this down," Wapol ordered his servant. "Anyone who ignores the King will be killed. So start by killing that sick girl and the unconscious guy who are ignoring me!"
"As you command!!"
Both of Wapol's servants went to attack Luffy, but Oliver came out from the snow, hitting Chess and making him crash into the other one.
"Oliver!" Luffy shouted, happy to see his nakama.
"Sorry, Luffy. I got distracted for a moment, but let me take care of these guys, you keep moving forward," Oliver told him, getting into position. "Nami and Sanji are the priority."
Luffy looked at his nakama, so he agreed.
"Alright! I'll leave them to you!"
Luffy ran off, leaving the fight to Oliver.
"Chess, Kuromarimo! Forget about Mugiwara and take care of that bastard!" Wapol shouted furiously.
"Yes, Wapol-sama!"
Chess and Kuromarimo readied their weapons to attack Oliver.
'Bow and arrow, and the other one spiked balls,' Oliver thought. "I can take you easily. You'll be easier than that Fishman."
Kuromarimo went after Oliver, being the first one, so he dodged the blow and then tried to punch him, but his right arm didn't move.
'Shit.'
Seeing that he couldn't move it, he tried to kick him, but was intercepted by several of Chess's arrows.
He punched one of the arrows, breaking it and dodging the rest, only for Wapol to immediately emerge from the snow trying to eat Oliver. So, taking out the spear he had in his inventory, he struck Wapol's face and propelled himself to get away from him.
'I think I'm at a disadvantage, right now I can't move my arm,' Oliver thought, not feeling his right arm, so he put the spear away again.
Taking advantage of the moment, Chess and Kuromarimo, using the snow as their cover, both appeared next to Oliver, having him in their sights.
"Checkmate!"
Chess aimed at him with his bow and Kuromarimo had one of his spiked balls to attack him as well.
'I can't block with Hoplomachia because of my arm, and I still have to learn how to use Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist. I need another combat style.'
Running out of time, Oliver wanted to try something. He summoned the Gacha Machine, having it block the spiked ball, so he tried to dodge the arrow, but it pierced his arm.
Even with the arrow in his arm, Oliver rushed at Chess, who tried to shoot an arrow at him, but Oliver was already right in front of him.
Concentrating his strength in the palm of his hand, he struck the bow, breaking it into a thousand pieces, then grabbed his arm and kicked him in the face, throwing him into Kuromarimo.
"These bastards are tough to beat, or I'm just getting weaker and weaker."
He summoned the gacha machine next to him again, taking cover behind it in case they attacked him from a distance once more.
"Shit, my arm really doesn't work anymore. I broke it or the disease has spread further. I need a way to fight fast, and the spear isn't an option if I can barely close my fist," Oliver said, watching his left hand begin to tremble.
He spent 1 million on a fighting style token and used it while pulling out the arrow along with his coat to wrap his arm and try to stop the bleeding.
"This almost looks like necrosis now. Maybe I should hurry up and get to the castle so they can check me."
While he was focused on bandaging his arm, he didn't even see the color of the sphere that came out.
[Fighting Style: Rokushiki/Six Powers]
A big smile appeared on Oliver's face, having received the knowledge of how to use Rokushiki.
"Now this is useful."
Right in that same moment of happiness, two arrows flew at him, which he dodged easily.
"Get ready!"
A fusion of Chess and Kuromarimo appeared in front of Oliver, meaning Wapol had fused them both together.
"I'll show you what happens to those who oppose Wapol-sama!"
He readied two giant arrows covered in fire with two spiked balls at the tips, and then shot them at Oliver, where he felt like everything was spinning.
'I have to finish this quickly,' Oliver thought. "Soru!"
In an instant, he moved in front of the strange fusion and hit it with everything he had, along with Electro, right in the stomach, sending him flying far away. To make sure he defeated him and prevented him from getting up, he started spinning a few times and launched a powerful kick, sending a current of air straight at them, causing a small explosion.
"It wasn't perfect, but I'm sure that will be enough."
He looked around searching for Wapol, but couldn't see him due to the snow and his illness.
He tried to find him, but he was surrounded by the snowstorm, which didn't allow him to see his surroundings.
"Shit, where is that bastard now?"
He tried to catch his scent, but everything kept spinning more and more, and the storm kept getting worse, so he kept walking, trying to stay alert to anything.
He heard a sound beside him, so he got into position in case he attacked him, but he heard another noise behind his back.
'Is he moving that fast? Or am I hallucinating now?'
He kept walking when he heard a whisper, stopping dead in his tracks when he saw a figure in front of him, falling forward with no strength left in his body.
"T-This... I have to... beat him..."
Before passing out, a message appeared in front of him.
