Chapter 337: Luffy is in trouble!
Vivi ran outside and quickly understood why everyone had decided to remain inside that room.
Between Kaido and Ace, the place was a fiery hell.
"Vivi, we need to get Luffy out of there; he is going to get roasted at this rate," said Nami.
"Yes, I know…" Vivi clenched her fists.
Normally, she would have already jumped into action, but right at this moment, it would be difficult for her to put out a small fire, much less something like what was in front of her.
Nami noticed her hesitation and realized the problem.
"How exhausted are your powers?" she asked in a low voice.
Vivi got closer and whispered into her ear.
"I have no problems maintaining my shape, but little more than that."
"Oh no…" Nami frowned.
"Let me help then," Law approached them.
Both Vivi and Nami turned around and glanced at him.
"Were you listening?" Nami looked somewhat annoyed.
"I wasn't trying to pry on your conversation, but I just have really good hearing."
"I suppose we could use your help. How big can you make your 'Room'?" Vivi asked.
Law observed the distance.
"Not enough to reach him where he is…" Law pointed. Luffy was a good one hundred meters away, resting on top of a dilapidated building. "Maybe half of that."
"Okay, I'll run the other half," she said.
"Are you going to be fine?" Nami asked with concern.
"Yes, I think I can do that much. Oh…I just recalled something."
Vivi took out a small cube of ice with something black inside.
"What is that?" Nami looked with interest.
"Your new helper," she answered. She released the hold on the ice cube, and the creature inside managed to escape.
"I'm free!" Zeus yelled with joy.
"Wait, I think I recognize this little cloud," said Law.
Nami went pale.
"Why did you bring this? This thing is too dangerous!"
"Hey! I'm not a thing! I'm Zeus!" The cloud looked offended. "Where is Momma?" he asked while looking around.
"She is dead, little one," Vivi was not one to beat around the bush.
"What? That's impossible! No one can hurt Momma!" Zeus exclaimed.
"Vivi, be more tactful at least," said Nami.
"It's true, Zeus. You know it is…your connection with her has disappeared, can't you feel it?"
Zeus nodded sadly.
"What am I going to do now?" It didn't seem like he cared about revenge.
"Worry not, I already found you a new Momma."
Vivi smiled and pointed at Nami.
"She will take care of you."
"You will?" Zeus glanced at Nami with hopeful eyes.
Nami recognized the opportunity. Zeus was a being created by Big Mom using her own soul and was incredibly powerful. He could make a very useful ally.
"Of course, stay with me, and I'll take care of you."
Nami used her Clima-Tact to create a few electrical clouds that Zeus happily ate.
"Delicious!" The cloud grinned.
"Now, it's time to get to work," said Vivi.
"I'll create a room and use it to get you as close as possible. You have to grab Luffy and bring him back to the room; then I can get the two of you out," said Law.
"Sounds like a plan… Let's go!"
