Chapter 667

Shaken by Brownbeard's murder and Nami's abduction, Luffy sets out after the brothers. Franky insists on coming since his body was the one stolen, then swallows a Rumble Ball to fight and immediately loses control in Chopper's Monster Point. The transformed cyborg turns on Luffy in a blind frenzy, exactly the danger Chopper warned of, leaving the rest of the crew to watch the two captains' allies tear off across the snow.

High on the slope, the chained Nami berates her captors, who mistake the cyborg body's vanity for an okama and boast of the bounty awaiting them. Luffy follows the prints straight off a cliff, and Rock conjures icicle spikes below him, but Luffy shatters them with a Haki-charged Gatling. When Rock fires, Luffy catches the bullets and sends them back doubled in power with a new technique learned from Rayleigh, blasting Rock in an explosion. Franky has a flash of clarity, hurling a falling chunk of mountain at Rock before Luffy finally knocks him out with an Elephant Gun.

Scotch flees up the peak with Nami only to find Law waiting. Law slices the yeti in two, then drops him with Counter Shock, the first time he is shown crippling a foe so brutally. As Luffy frees Nami, Law lays out his pitch: a dormant secret on this island could plunge the world into chaos, and survival in the New World means either sheltering under an Emperor or constantly defying one. Knowing Luffy will never serve, Law proposes an alliance to topple one of the Four Emperors. It is also revealed the brothers used KYP-laced bullets to leave Zoro, Sanji, and Brook drunk and unconscious.
