Chapter 111: Weather Stick and Ninja Crow! A Piercing "Duet"!
In the intricate back alleys of Alubarna, the smoke of battle filled the air.
"Stab, stab."
Shattering sounds echoed one after another.
Miss Doublefinger, wearing a blue bodysuit, approached step by step with an alluring yet murderous gait like a model's.
She casually waved her fingers, and those seemingly slender digits transformed into incredibly hard spikes.
In an instant, they easily pierced through the hard stone brick walls like cutting through tofu, leaving behind deep, bottomless holes.
"What's wrong? Can you only run away?"
Miss Doublefinger looked at the orange-haired girl retreating in a panic, a cruel smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"Little girl, now... no one can protect you anymore."
"Shut up!"
Nami was drenched in sweat, her hands tightly gripping the three blue rods she had just assembled—this was her new weapon, the "Weather Stick," given to her by Usopp before he left.
"As long as I have this... I can fight too!"
Nami frantically recalled the instruction manual and waved the rod at her enemy.
"Take this! Solar Ray!!"
"Poof~"
There was no laser as imagined; instead, a bunch of bright small flowers comically popped out from the top of the rod.
"Eh?!" Nami was dumbfounded.
"Hmph, boring." Miss Doublefinger continued to close in.
"Wait, wait! Let me try again! Thunderbolt Charge!!" Nami waved the rod once more.
"Bang!"
This time, a red boxing glove on a spring popped out from the tip, wobbling limply twice.
The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
"Ara ara."
Miss Doublefinger stopped in her tracks and sneered, her eyes filled with contempt.
"Are you here to perform in a circus? If you wanted to make me laugh, you've succeeded."
"Caw caw!!!"
At that moment, the Crow Clay, who had been perched on Nami's shoulder, could take no more.
His feathers bristled as he cursed at Miss Doublefinger.
"What are you talking about, you skimpily-dressed ugly woman!! I can't listen to this anymore! You're so annoying!!"
"Ugly... ugly woman?"
Veins instantly throbbed on Miss Doublefinger's forehead, and her composed expression crumbled in an instant.
"It seems I need to skewer you both together!!"
She completely lost her patience, her arms snapping straight as her ten fingers turned into sharp thorn spears, thrusting out like a rainstorm.
"Stinger Finger: Double Stinger!!"
"Waaah!!"
Nami cried out in alarm and desperately rolled to the side.
Although she barely managed to avoid vital areas like her heart, the dense spikes still grazed her body.
"Rippp!"
Several deep bloody gashes were instantly carved into Nami's shoulder and thigh; blood seeped out, staining her dancer-style clothes red.
As sharp pain hit her, Nami slumped to the ground, panting heavily, her hand holding the Weather Stick trembling slightly.
"No... this weapon is too complicated..."
Nami bit her lip, cold sweat sliding down her cheek.
"If I don't figure out the principle behind this rod... I'll really die here!"
Fear spread through her heart, and she instinctively wanted to run.
But at that moment, the image of Vivi kneeling and bowing to the guards for her country flashed through her mind, as did the image of Luffy insisting on fighting even after being blown away.
And then there was that man... who always stood in front of her.
"Everyone is giving it their all..."
The look in Nami's eyes changed, and the fear in the depths of her gaze was burned away by a flame called "resolve."
Using the Weather Stick to support herself, she slowly stood up and looked directly at the powerful enemy before her.
"I am... the Navigator of the future Pirate King!!"
"How can I fall here!!"
In that instant, her instincts as a genius Navigator awakened.
She stopped caring about those flashy "magic tricks."
Instead, she calmed her heart, feeling the flow of the air and the faint energy emitted by the three spheres of the Weather Stick.
"Cool Ball... Heat Ball... Electric Ball..."
"I see."
A sharp light flashed in Nami's eyes: "By using these three types of bubbles to change the density and temperature of the surrounding air... I can create 'Mirages' or even 'Thunderclouds'!"
"It's time for a counterattack!"
"Die!!"
On the opposite side, the enraged Miss Doublefinger gave Nami no room to breathe.
She roared, and sharp thorns grew from every inch of her skin as she curled into a giant spike ball.
"Stinger Hedgehog: Sea Urchin Rush!!"
"Rumble!"
Like a heavy tank covered in spikes, she crushed the ground along the way, barreling toward Nami with an all-pulverizing momentum!
"So fast!"
While retreating rapidly, Nami frantically swung the Weather Stick, creating a large number of Heat Balls and Cool Balls in the air.
But it wasn't enough; it took time for the bubbles to merge!
Seeing the terrifying thorn tank about to crash into her.
Nami shouted loudly to Clay, who was circling in the air and cawing anxiously.
"Clay!! Quick!! Now's the time!!"
"Use that move of yours!!!"
"Caw!! Here I come!!"
A red light flashed in Clay's eyes in the air.
He suddenly tucked his wings and dove down like a black meteor, surprisingly not dodging but stopping directly in the path of Miss Doublefinger's charge.
Facing the rolling spike tank.
Clay took a deep breath, his chest puffing out high, and a surge of energy gathered at his throat.
"GAAAAAHHHHHH——!!!!"
A high-frequency, extremely piercing scream erupted instantly!
At that moment, ripples seemed to appear in the air.
A visible high-frequency sound wave, like a sharp drill, ignored the thorn defense and pierced straight into Miss Doublefinger's eardrums.
"Aaaaahhhhh!!!! My ears!!!!"
Rotating at high speed, Miss Doublefinger felt as if a red-hot iron rod had been inserted into her brain; the whole world was spinning.
This high-frequency sound wave targeting the auditory nerves instantly destroyed her sense of balance.
"Bang!!"
The charging Miss Doublefinger instantly lost her balance, and her thorn form was forced to deactivate.
Like a drunkard, she wobbled and tumbled to the side.
Finally, with a "boom," she crashed dizzily into a thick wall, getting herself stuck inside and unable to move.
"Good chance!!"
Nami's eyes lit up as she seized this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
"Great job, Clay!!"
The Weather Stick in Nami's hand danced like the wind.
The countless Cool Balls and Heat Balls she had just created collided and merged rapidly at this moment.
Air humidity soared, and currents convected violently.
A small, pitch-black Thundercloud quickly formed above Miss Doublefinger's head, with dangerous lightning flickering inside.
"This is the final blow!"
Nami pointed the tip of the Weather Stick at the Thundercloud, providing the final guidance.
"Thunderbolt Tempo—"
"Thunderbolt Strike!!!!"
"BOOM!!!!"
A thick and dazzling golden lightning bolt, carrying the wrath of nature, struck down with pinpoint accuracy.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
Miss Doublefinger, still paralyzed from the ringing in her ears, was instantly swallowed by the lightning.
A powerful current coursed through her entire body, even charring her hard thorns black.
"Thud."
The smoke cleared.
The previously arrogant female agent was now charred all over; her once smooth blue hair had turned into an afro, black smoke puffed from her mouth, and she collapsed with her eyes rolled back.
She had completely lost her ability to fight.
"Phew..."
Nami coolly blew away a wisp of smoke from the tip of the Weather Stick and tucked her orange hair, ruffled by the wind, behind her ear.
"Sorry about that."
She looked at her fallen enemy, a confident smile playing on her lips.
"It seems... my control over the weather is superior."
"Caw-p."
Clay flapped his wings and landed triumphantly on Nami's shoulder, holding his head high.
"Heh heh, of course! With the help of this great one's Voice of the overlord of the sky, this kind of trash isn't even worth mentioning! Caw!"
"yeah!! Very good! We won.!!"
Nami happily hugged Clay on her shoulder, rubbing against his pitch-black feathers.
"Well done! Clay! When we get back, I'll have Tatsuya praise you properly!"
"Caw?!"
The alley battle ended; the "Duet" of the Navigator and the Ninja Crow was a complete victory!
