## One Piece Chapter 417, pages 6-8: Ashura - Chapter: 417 - Pages: 6-8 - Characters: Kaku, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 6: Kaku insists that his long neck is useful, but so are his arms and legs, declaring, "I'M A PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER WHO CAN TURN UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS TO HIS ADVANTAGE!! LOOK!! LOOK AT THE FIGHTING TECHNIQUE THAT I CAN GENERATE WITH THIS REACH!!" Zoro can only say, "YOU REALLY COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE, HUH!!?" Kaku launches "KILIMANJARO!!!" again, while Zoro admits, "I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH YOU...!!" He shifts to "SANTOU-RYUU" and "TATSU"--dragon--as he prepares to meet the incoming reach with a tornado-like sword technique. Page 7: Zoro releases "MAKI!!!" with his three-sword tornado; a note says Tatsumaki means tornado. Kaku braces with "TEKKAI!!!" but feels the force immediately, thinking, "STRONG...!!!" The impact throws him upward, and Zoro notes, "HE... JUMPED TO THE UPPER LEVEL!!" Kaku counters with "GEP-POU" and slams back down as "PASTA MACHINE!!!" His strange compressed body turns the battlefield vertical, dropping from above with a heavy "TATATAN!!!" while Zoro watches for the next opening. Page 8: Kaku crashes down in his compressed form, but Zoro waits and meets him with a clean crossing of blades. Kaku reacts, "!!?" and Zoro says, "THANKS FOR WAITING." Kaku lands back on his feet, impressed by his own new reach. He explains, "IF I CAN CONTROL THE 'REACH' OF MY ARMS, LEGS AND NECK... I CAN SWING THE SWORDS ANY WAY I WANT...!!" Zoro, breathing hard, now faces not just a giraffe body but a four-sword fighter using every stretched limb like an extension of his blades.
