Part nine - Once, a liar, a cheater and a deciver met 19/??

To begin with, Buchi radically solved the problem of oil spilled on the slope - he brought down the rock, filling the entire slope. One powerful kick and the problem was solved. And that same kick allowed Nami to appreciate Buchi's newfound strength. Johnny and Yosaku might well have done something like that, but not herself. It is one thing to destroy a small section of a rock, and quite another to level it entirely to the ground. There was no question of any passage between the two rocks now, which did not stop Buchi and Sham from reaching Nami. Before the girl had time to blink an eye, both pirates were next to her - hypnosis for speed turned out to be no less effective than for strength. Fortunately for Usopp, Nami has long been accustomed to fighting even stronger and faster opponents, so she not only managed to avoid the attack herself, but also saved Usopp. Taking him with her, Nami then threw it far to the side so that it would no longer get in the way. At the same time, the girl appreciated the attacks of Buchi and Sham.

Sham attacked very quickly, but, firstly, he attacked not fast enough to catch Nami by surprise, and secondly, he attacked her with steel claws that simply could not harm her. Fruit Sube-Sube no Mi (Slippery-Slippery Fruit) guaranteed Nami's inviolability. But Buchi, in the literal sense, tore the ground with his feet, which under certain circumstances could become dangerous, therefore, first of all, Nami focused on the big man. In speed, Buchi was noticeably inferior to Sham, who, in turn, was just as noticeably inferior in this to Nami herself, which is why the girl got close to him at the strike distance without any problems. And she hit. Several times in a row. With all might. With a predictable result. Buchi simply ignored the girl's punches on his torso, even worse, the big guy, then easily blocked all of Nami's punches aimed at the groin - one of the few ways to deal with such impenetrable monsters - and his head was so high that the girl simply did not dare to attack her. To hit Buchi on the head, Nami would have to jump, which gave an excellent reason for a counterattack - in the air, without supports, it was a hundred times more difficult to dodge the blow than on the ground. In some situations, it is completely impossible. And then even a fruit could not help her. No, the blow would have slipped off her anyway, but, without support, she would also be blown away.

After several minutes of furious exchange of blows, the fight stopped of itself. Sham and Buchi's attacks did not work on Nami, and Nami's attacks did not work on Buchi, which Sham brazenly used, otherwise the girl would have knocked him out long ago. The situation is stalemate. The pirates could not defeat Nami, but Nami herself could not defeat the pirates. In addition, if she tried hard, she could still deal with Sham, but not with Buchi. Even though the big man was slower than her, but, having only two vulnerable spots, he could easily block all blows dangerous for himself, and Nami's speed did not decide anything here. Now the girl would have a sword instead of a staff, or at least just one knife, and everything could change, but what was not, that was not. And it's not a fact that Nami would use them. Unlike the "boys" she knew, the girl was not very fond of blood and murder. On the other hand, Nami did not need any swords, knives, daggers or anything like that. In the arsenal of the girl there was a weapon a million times more terrible, destructive and effective:

- Boys, help me, please! - did not even shout, but just loudly said Nami.

The result was not long in coming. Before Nami had time to finish the last word, Buchi's huge carcass was imprinted deep into the ground. Moreover, with such force that the whole area around literally began to shake, as if during a strong earthquake.

- You used the first level "Family Help" spell, - Johnny said first, as soon as he landed next to Nami. - The spell will remain in effect until the enemies are completely destroyed ... Seriously, Nami, you could have put in a little more strength before calling for help. You don't know, but Yosaku now, because of his long tongue, is lying around with a bullet in his head, Zoro again managed to get lost, I just came, and you immediately called for help. Can you imagine what it would be like if I was even a little late?

Yosaku and Johnny are gone, Zoro is lost, which means ...

- It's good that you was in time ... - Nami uttered a little nervous laugh.

Luffy on the battlefield was akin to the Armageddon spell in board games. There were never any enemies equal to him in strength, which means that everyone involved suffered from his presence, as well as from Armageddon. The enemies of the family, of course, always ended up much worse, but the family itself got a lot. What to do? Such was the price of helping Luffy. Fortunately, in Nami's mind, Luffy only needed serious intervention once. Then Zoro, as now, was lost, and Johnny and Yosaku could do nothing against the enemy who ate the logia fruit, so Luffy simply had no choice but to intervene.

Quite frankly, the encounter with the "Trump Family", led by the "Bear King", before the mess with Craig, was the only time Luffy intervened in order to really help his family, rather than complicate things further. The result of the intervention, however, turned out to be logical. Nothing remained of the "Trump Family", as well as of the "Clockwork Island" ... no, of course, something of all this remained, but it was necessary to search with a magnifying glass. After all, Luffy did not want any of their opponents to stay alive, and reported to anyone who did not need about his real strength, therefore, in killing and destroying everything and everyone, he did not hold back then ... or, rather, stopped holding back newfound found Zoro. Although, frankly, they both worked there, as never before. So, calling Luffy for help against the Black Cat pirates was akin to calling a battleship; if two young children fought over the sandbox, everyone would suffer, including the sandbox itself. Actually, that's why "Armageddon".

Unlike Nami, her "savior" was recognized almost instantly:

- Johnny the "Beheader"! - Sham involuntarily stepped back as soon as he recognized his new opponent. - What ... what is one of the Pirate Slayers doing here ?!

- Isn't it obvious? - the guy slightly tilted his head to the side. - I'm going to kill a little pirate ... - Without finishing, Johnny jumped to the side, so the intended attack went to Nami ... predictably without causing the girl any harm.

The new enemy turned out to be a tall man in glasses and a black suit, with slicked back, dark green hair, on whose hands were gloves, a kind of "Cat's Claws" in the manner of Sham's gloves. The difference was that Sham really had claws, albeit steel, and the new guy, instead of claws, had katana blades sticking out. Even more unusual, the whole thing looked really dangerous, and not at all stupid or ridiculous. The question remained who he was, but Nami and Johnny had one very sensible guess.
