The earthquake finally came to a stop, the castle no longer shaking. Nobody could tell what just happened, but some were relieved that the island didn't sink like some thought. Zoro gazed at the hole in the rooftop, frowning deeply. Robin approached him with a knowing look:
"I saw it too, Zoro...O-Kiku-chan's arm..." she spoke.
"I got a late start. I wish I could just fly there. But every route has its challenges" he said.
Those who were infected with Ice Oni stood back on their feet, and charged at them at full speed. Zoro and Robin prepared themselves for a fight when a wall of blue flames engulfed the enemies. Marco made his appearance, smiling cheekily down:
"Straw Hats!" he exclaimed.
"Marco the Phoenix!" cried out Robin in surprise.
"Yeah, that's who I am-yoi! You guys are the main force, why are you still here on this floor?!"
"It's not like we wanted to be!" Zoro retorted.
"Heh. Is there anything I can do?" he offered a cocky smile, one that was quickly replaced by surprise and shock at the sight of the Ice Oni. "This is..."
"Warming up your bodies will halt the progress of the virus!" Chopper repeated. "It takes time to produce many antibodies. Meanwhile, the virus will keep spreading and more people will get infected! So please, find some! Fire! Flame! Sufficient time for survival!"
"Then let's do this-yoi!"
When Chopper asked for assistance, he didn't envision himself being set on fire with the help of Marco's Devil Fruit. The reindeer screamed in pain while his comrades could only watch in horror. Zoro and Brook were quick to react and charge at the former commander. Marco dodged their attack while commenting on their short temper. It's only when the skeleton reached for Chopper to put out the fire that he realized the flames weren't really burning him.
"Chopper-san, you need to relax!" Brook told him, finally managing to calm down the doctor.
"...Huh? I'm burning but I'm not getting burned! It's not too hot, nor cold...This flame is comfortably warm" Chopper grinned with a small flush, appreciating the feeling.
"Dr. Chopper!"
Chopper shot a look behind him to see both Miyagi and Tristan waving at him to get his attention.
