Luffy ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 408 title page, "Monster vs. Kumadori." The cover story continues: The name of Miss Goldenweek's strategy, "Meet Baroque," Vol. 38, "Pirate King" and "Hero." The Baroque Works dream sequence turns its subjects into two grand symbols: one dressed like a pirate king, the other like a hero, both posed inside the broken prison escape fantasy. Page 1: Kalifa's room is still filled with water, foam, and the wreckage of Nami's lightning attack. Nami stands with the Clima-Tact, watching the smoke and bubbles drift across the room. Kalifa's voice cuts through her confidence: "That's what you get for being too confident in yourself...!!" Then something rises from the foam with a huge "!?" The attack that should have punished Kalifa has not ended the fight at all. Instead, the room goes quiet around the strange dome of bubbles forming in the bath, and Nami realizes her opponent is not simply hiding. Page 2: The bubble mass swells with "bloop bloop bloop," and Kalifa emerges from inside it, calm and unharmed. Nami cries, "Eh!?" Kalifa smiles, "... Hoho," and rises from the bath in a shower of foam. "What a surprise," she says. "I never thought I'd ever be struck by lightning indoors." Nami tries to understand: "What... was that thing that protected her from the lightning...? It turned into bubbles and disappeared...!!" Kalifa gives only the warning that matters: "If you don't solve this mystery... you have no chance of winning." Nami studies the effect: "...!! It's just like soap dissolving and forming bubbles... Maybe the 'Awa Awa' no Mi made her a soap-woman or something." Page 3: Nami understands the ability, but Kalifa refuses to let that equal victory. "B-but even by knowing my ability, it doesn't mean you can win!! You insolent fool!!" Nami thinks, "I guess I got that right. I feel sorry for her!" Kalifa states the truth of her Devil Fruit: "That's right, I am clean lines personified!! After eating the Awa Awa no Mi, I've become a 'soap-woman.' Who can create bubbles from any part of her body!!" Nami, despite the danger, blurts out, "Wah, she's so sexy... If she were my secretary, I'd be happy!!" then corrects herself in fury, "Wait, I'm not a man!!" Page 4: Kalifa demonstrates control over her bubbles. Nami asks, "But isn't it rather inconvenient for battles? It doesn't look very strong!!" Kalifa answers, "But I can control the bubbles I create from my body... any way I want." She shapes them into "Bubble Master!!" and the bubbles from the bathtub move at her command. Then she forms the ridiculous but dangerous "Soap Sheep!!" Nami stares and asks, "Are you an idiot?" Kalifa answers coldly, "Appearances can be deceiving," and sends the attack into "Hitsuji-Gumo Relax Hour!!!" with the note that it means "sheep cloud," also a pun between chika and awa. Page 5: Kalifa explains why Nami lost strength when she entered the room. "Think about it; why did you lose your strength when you first came in?" Nami realizes it: "That's right...!! It's most likely because of her ability...!! Bubbles...!! Now that I think about it, when I stepped into this room... the floor was covered with bubbles!!!" Kalifa fires the bubble sheep: "Shoot!!" Nami is hit with "splorch!!" and cries, "Argh!!!" as the foam clings to her body. Kalifa smiles, "You noticed it a little bit too late... Hoo hoo." Nami staggers under the effect, the bubbles already draining the strength from her again. Page 6: Nami finally names the danger: "I'm losing my strength...!! So, losing it earlier was because I stepped on the bubbles on the floor...!!" Kalifa says, "You'll slowly see what's so terrifying about this ability..." and the floor erupts beneath Nami. She screams, "Aauuh!!!" as the room splinters under the impact. Kalifa explains, "The bubbles I diffuse from my body can remove anything. From stains and dirt... to strength... and more." Then she reminds Nami what she is: "And don't forget one thing... I'm an assassin of the secret intelligence organization." Page 7: Nami refuses to stay helpless. She notices, "I can move!! This attack blew away the bubbles...!!" and grips her Clima-Tact: "...!! I won't forgive you anymore!!" She fires "Thunder Ball!!!" and the charged orb bursts toward Kalifa. Kalifa steps close with "tap tap," admitting, "Only that weapon is still foreign to me...!!" Nami tries to seize the opening, but Kalifa slips behind her and catches her with "Golden Hour!!" Nami gasps, "Wha...!?" as Kalifa puts her hands on Nami's body and begins coating her again with bubbles. Page 8: Nami tries to escape with "Soru," but she cannot stand. "Eh!? I can't stand up!? Ack!! Wh-what is this!? My legs...!!!" Kalifa calmly explains while foam curls around her hands: "Isn't it beautiful? Anything I touch wi...
