## One Piece Chapter 372, pages 1-3: Parage - Chapter: 372 - Pages: 1-3 - Characters: Franky, Nero ### Summary Page 1: The battle on the roof of the Puffing Tom continues with Franky facing Nero above the roaring sea. The page labels the fight "Franky vs Nero," and the roof shakes as the train charges through the storm. Nero attacks with another slicing kick, "Rankyaku-- Sen!!!" A note explains that Rankyaku means hurricane leg and Sen means line. The cut rips across the roof, and Franky is forced to keep moving while the engine below pounds onward. The clash is fast and unstable: Nero uses government assassination footwork and air-cutting attacks, while Franky relies on his strange body, toughness, and raw power to stay in the fight. Page 2: Nero keeps probing Franky's body. Franky blocks with "Star Shield!!!" and the star-marked forearm catches the blow with a loud "Bam!!" and "Clang!!" Nero sees the trick and says, "There's just no way he's human!!" He decides that Franky is hiding another weapon and prepares to breathe fire again. Franky answers the pressure by firing "Master Nail!!!" and launches nails from his arm while Nero dodges. The fight becomes a contest of hidden tools against the Four Forms: every time Nero thinks he has understood Franky's weakness, another mechanical surprise appears from Franky's body. Page 3: Nero leaps out of range with "Geppou!!!" and Franky realizes the nails will not be enough. He mutters, "Nails!!?" and then decides, "I'll just have to use some tools..." While Nero keeps dodging through the air, Franky opens a compartment and prepares something more direct. Nero is still fast, agile, and confident, but Franky notices the pattern behind his movement: "He flew away again!!" and then, thinking of the techniques Nero has shown, concludes, "He's tough, and still haven't completed my training for 'Shigan.'" The fight is beginning to reveal that Nero's CP9 skills are incomplete.
