## One Piece Chapter 372, pages 3-5: Parage - Chapter: 372 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Franky, Nero ### Summary 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. Page 4: Franky baits Nero while shifting through his own tricks. Nero boasts, "See ya!! I'm going to the next car!" but Franky tells him, "Ah! Stop right there!!" and warns, "Don't try to play cheap!!" Nero spins away with "I got ya!!!" and "Beans left!!!" Franky taps at the floor and answers with a casual "Huh?" before revealing that he has already read the movement. "I've already figured you out!!" he says. Nero protests, "I saw right through your plan!!" but Franky keeps the pressure on: "Too bad." The exchange is less about speed now and more about who has truly understood the other's style. Page 5: Franky lands the discovery he needed. Nero cries, "Ah!!" as Franky's strike catches him, and Franky says, "I did it!!" Nero snarls, "It hurts!!!!" Franky identifies the missing piece in Nero's Four Forms: "I've found your weakness!!" When Nero tries to counter with "Soru!" Franky still clips him and says, "Ouch finger!!!" Nero curses, "Bastard..." Franky understands now that Nero can move fast and dodge, but he cannot harden his body with Tekkai. Without that defensive form, Nero's speed cannot protect him forever from Franky's direct hits.
