Usopp and Nami continue to run from Page One and Ulti

Much to the chagrin of Nami and Usopp, members of the Flying Six are still in hot pursuit. Ulti and Page One are hot on their trail as they have transformed into their beast forms. Unfortunately for the Straw Hats, Ulti proved to be too powerful when she finally engaged in combat.

At some point, she headbutts Usopp so hard that his skull cracks under pressure. Ulti even managed to capture Nami by forcefully grabbing her. It's not looking very good for either of these Straw Hats. It remains to be seen how Nami or Usopp will get out of this situation. Either way, they haven't been beaten up this badly in a long time.

Brook and Chopper are having a hard time over at the Live Floor. Queen's deadly virus is now spreading everywhere. At one point, Brook is bitten by someone with the Ice Oni. It's even worse for Chopper, who is clearly shown to be infected.

According to Queen, victims inflicted with the virus will perish within the hour. Chopper does not have much time left in One Piece Episode 1008. Should Zoro fail to retrieve the antidote, fans can only hope that Chopper makes one for himself. Now is the perfect time for the good doctor to shine.
