Chapter 65: Bubbles

"What?" Exclaimed Kaku. "Are you saying that… it's my fault…?"

For a moment she almost felt a bit of sympathy for the sad giraffe. But then she remembers what those guys put Robing through.

"Your conscience can rest at ease. At least for this particular murder. I'm the one that killed your partner." Said Vivi without changing her expression.

Kaku's expression turned to anger. "You despicable pirates!"

Vivi waved him off. "Yes, yes…get off your high horse, Mister We have permission from the WG to kill any civilian that gets in our way."

"That's!...." Kaku was at a loss for words.

Vivi turned to Zoro.

"After you beat this guy." She pointed to Kaku. "And you are considering sparing his life, remember everything that they did to Robin, and what they want to do with her afterward."

Zoro stared at her with a serious expression. "I know!"

Vivi was walking towards the door when she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh!, before I forget. The key from the other guy should be somewhere around the room. Remember to pick it up before leaving."

"Around the room? you mean under all this ruble?!" Asked Zoro.

"Yes…good luck with that!" She turned and left in a hurry, ignoring all of Zoro's complains and yells.

—--------------------------------------------------------------

Vivi heard something crash against the floor as she was about to enter the next area.

The room was narrow but very tall and filled with stairs that went around the walls. This was the center stair of the Judicial Tower and in the middle of it lay a deformed body that Vivi was very familiar with.

"Sanji" Vivi muttered.

"Gauhh" He made some painful sounds and moved a bit. His body was glistening and smooth.

Vivi used a strong stream of water to wash away the bubbles that were covering Sanji, allowing him to return to normal. His wounds were still very bad and He was unable to stand.

Sanji turned to look at Vivi.

"I-Im sorry…I lost. I couldn't get the key."

Vivi sensed someone above her and looked up. Kalifa was standing up the stairs, looking at them with a smug smile on her face.

"You got very unlucky with the opponent. Don't beat yourself about it, Sanji. Leave this one to me. Hang in there, Chopper will be here soon."

Vivi made her way up the stairs until she reached a room where she felt Kalifa's presence.

After opening the door, she found the former secretary taking a bubble bath in the middle of the room.

She seemed to be completely naked, only covered by the bubbles.

Vivi looked thoughtfully at Kalika.

"If you are trying to seduce me…that won't work!"

"That would be more believable if you weren't staring at my chest…those bubbles are not going to disappear any time soon by the way."

"Tsk!, get off that bathtub so I can kick your ass!" Yelled Vivi.

'Focus Vivi!, you don't wanna end up like Sanji! That would be too embarrassing.'

Kalifa chuckled.

"Why?, I can fight you just fine from here."

Vivi noticed several groups of bubbles slowly moving toward her.

She created a wave of water that washed them all away.

Kalifa looked very surprised at seeing her ability countered like that.

'Why is she so surprised? Did Lucci fail to tell them what element of Logia I was?'

"Sorry to tell you, but your ability will be of little use against me."

Vivi made a punching motion. "Blast!" She created a high-pressure stream of water that crushed against Kalifas bathtub, breaking it into pieces and sending her flying.

"Noo!!" Kalifa screamed.

After Vivi's attack, all of the bubbles have been cleared out, giving her a clear view of Kalifas attributes, who was currently lying on the wet floor with her butt pointing up.

"That's a nice view, but are you going to stay like that all day?" Vivi teased.

"Ugg…" Kalifa stood up. "Ahh!" She then realized that the bubbles covering her were gone and quickly tried to cover herself with her hands.

"You didn't think thought this whole 'fighting naked' thing, right?" Vivi asked.

Kalifa looked at her with pure rage. "Shut up. I was not informed that your ability was water! Just that you were a logia user."

She then created more bubbles to cover herself and got back into battle mode.

"Are you going to fight me like that? At least bring your sea-stone weapon, you were given one I assume. You are going to make me look like a bully otherwise." Said Vivi.

"I don't need it!" She jumped in the air with geppo and got closer to Vivi.

"Rankyaku!"

The slashing wave of air traveled a great speed towards Vivi.

"This will be quick then...Soru." Vivi disappeared from the spot, letting Kalifa attack hit the empty space.

The next instant, She was in front of Kalifa as she landed. Vivi didn't use any technique or ability to attack her, just a regular punch to the face.

Kalifa had no chance to dodge it. She ended up getting hit with a loud crunch and falling backward.

Vivi didn't give any rest and she continued her attack, another punch to her face. Followed by several more as Kalifa was trying to get away, eventually tumbling down to the ground.

"S-stop…please!" Kalifa seemed to have given up after the beating that Vivi had given her.

Her face was red and swelling up, her eyes had become tiny and she had several teeth missing. She looked like a professional boxer after fighting for twelve rounds.

"As a professional assassin. You are really pathetic, Kalifa." Vivi looked at her with a mix of disgust and disappointment.

As Kalifa tried to stand up to run away, Vivi used soru once more and punched her with all her strength, completely shattering her jaw.

Kalifa went back down and stopped moving. Her face was completely destroyed.

"That was for what you did to Sanji."

Vivi approached her and checked her pulse. It was weak but Kalifa was still alive.

She considers for a moment to finish her off. But it didn't sit well with her to kill a defenseless girl.

'Maybe I do have some of Sanjis weaknesses after all.'

"You are fired!" She told to the unconscious Kalifa before walking away.

"Right, let's not forget about the key" She remembered.

As she was looking around the room she noticed the key on top of a coffee table. Next to it were Kalifas clothes, laying on top of a chair. Vivi then looked at herself again. Her clothes were so tattered that they barely covered her lady bits.

"May as well"
