Chapter 271: Sanji vs Yama

Nami, Sanji and Usopp were on the Going Merry. Sanji was at the helm of the ship. Nami and Usopp stood outside. Nami leaned her hand on the white railing of the ship. Usopp looked at the ship. There were lots of boarded up wood acting like bandages for the ship.

"The Going Merry has taken a beating," Nami remarked, her voice tinged with concern.

"She is a tough ship," Sanji shouted.

"She will make it," Usopp said.

"We need a shipwright to check and make those repairs," Nami said. Her fingers traced the railing. She added, "The gold we get will help." Her eyes were sparkling.

"You just want the gold," Usopp muttered to himself. 

"I wonder how Luffy, Zoro and Chopper are doing?" Usopp thought to himself. He looked at his hands covered in bandages. He thought back to when that priest Shura attacked them and they lost. It was a miracle that those birds came and saved them.

"They will be fine," Nami replied. 

"It's Chopper who I am a bit worried about," Usopp said. He also took some hits when they fought Shura.

"Kaya was there to treat you both up," Nami replied. She added, "She is a good friend, she was worried for you." 

"Kaya and I are best friends, we used to tell each other stories all the time in the past," Usopp said. He added, "Then she got ill and lost that smile." He paused and said, "Since she has joined them that smile is back and it's bigger." 

"Ben does that," Nami said. She smiled at him, helping her and her sister. She thought that Nojiko also had that smile on her face. 

Sanji ran out of the helm of the ship. "I heard Ben`s name," Sanji fumed. He added, "He is a monster that pretends to be innocent."

Usopp and Nami stared at him. "You are being a bit over dramatic," Usopp commented. 

"He," Nami was about to say when she thought he may be right. Ben has been touching her whenever he can. If it was anyone else then they would be looking for a new hand but Ben was okay. 

"That monster wont get to you Nami," Sanji shouted. There were flames in his eyes. 

Under the bright daylight, a sudden explosion reverberated, illuminating the surroundings with unexpected flashes. The deafening explosion echoed through the air, shattering the tranquility of the surroundings.

"Sounds like a war," Nami said, her voice edged with tension.

"A big war," Sanji added, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the horizon.

At that moment, from the treeline a two came out of the treeline. One was a obese man with a triple chin. He had a round body shape with long wavy black hair and tanned skin. He has bags under his eyes and thick lips. He wore a white toga with black vertical stripes, three on each side. He had gold bracelets on both his wrist. 

The other man was wearing a light red fur vest and red goggles. Kamakiri, the other man, had scratches all over his body. His face looked frustrated. He fired his bazooka at the obese man. The cannon bolt went towards the obese man. There was an explosion and a large black cloud of smoke appeared.

"He just shot him point blank," Usopp said. 

"Crazy," Nami remarked. They both looked in shock. Sanji observed the battle. He lit his cigarette and took a puff. 

The obese man rushed out of the smoke. "Mountain Belly," the obese man said as he body slammed Kamakiri with his stomach. 

Kamakiri had no chance to escape and got hit by the obese man's belly as he got crushed. "Yama," he shouted as blood left his mouth. His goggles cracked as he went down and hit the ground with a loud thud. 

"Baa!" Yama said as he watched Kamakiri fall down. 

"He got belly hit," Usopp commented. 

"What is Baa?" Nami questioned. 

"I don't know," Usopp replied. 

Yama looked down to see a ship sailing down the river. "None shall escape God Enel," he declared as he dashed towards the Going Merry.

"He is coming towards us," Nami remarked. 

Sanji puffed his cigarette. He looked at the obese man coming towards him. He jumped into the air. He looked at Yama. "Collier," Sanji said as he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to Yama`s neck. Yama took the hit to the neck, he went flying towards a tree and hit it. Yama spat some blood out. 

He slid back to the base of the tree. Sanji jumped onto him. "So you are one of them?" Sanji asked.

Yama got up. "We serve God Enel and he has ordered us to wipe all out here," Yama replied. 

"Wipe it all out?" Sanji asked.

"Yes everyone," Yama replied. He had a smile on his face. 

"Mountain Drop," Yama said as he jumped into the air. He did flips several times, and then put his leg forward. He went for a drop kick towards Sanji. 

"Flanchet," Sanji said as he kicked Yama`s stomach. Yama got hit by that attack and went flying back. He stumbled, landing on his feet, the impact jarring his entire body. His breath came in ragged gasps, panting loudly. Clutching his stomach, he winced in pain. 

Sanji then up to Yama. "Mouton Shot," Sanji said as channeled all his might into one leg and launched a flurry of kicks. His face, stomach, and chest bore the brunt of Sanji's relentless assault. Each kick landed exactly as Sanji wanted.

Yama took the attack and went flying back as Sanj landed the final kick. He landed on his back. His body was in pain. There was blood leaking from his mouth. His breathing was rapid. "God Enel, I will not lose," Yama shouted as he got up. 

Yama started running towards Sanji. His eyes narrowed onto Sanji. His face had a look of determination. "Ten-Fold Axe," Yama shouted as he got closer to Sanji and used his large belly to drop onto him. 

Sanji was about to kick Yama when his sash around his neck which had ten Axe Dials sewn onto it, activities. Sanji kicked Yama, however the Axe Dails sent an X shaped air blast at his leg. 

Yama was kicked away by Sanji and landed on the ground. At the same time, Sanji went stumped back. His leg got cut and was bleeding. His trouser was partly destroyed. There was some blood leaking from the cut wound. Sanji looked down.

"This was my nice trouser," Sanji remarked. 

"Cuisseau Shoot," Sanji as he ran towards Yama. He raises his forward. He launches a hard kick to Yama`s thigh. Yama took the hit and went flying. He hit a tree. Yama's eyes went blank as he spat blood. He landed on the ground with a big thud and went unconscious.

"That is one down," Sanji remarked. "Time to see what Nami-swan is doing, she may need my help," Sanji said as he ran towards the Going Merry.
