Chapter 37: A Strange Reunion! Mysteries of the past.
In college...
The World Adventure (Piano Version) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Sonic: Hey, professor. Smokey ...
Smoker: Tch! You are as irritating as Straw Hat.
Prof. Pickle: Ah, Sonic. I see that you and the others have already completed the stage, right?
Nora: It was great! Like "BOOM", "ZAS"...
Ren: Especially the part where Nami charges you with electricity and unconsciously throws yourself into a Nevermore.
Nora mockingly sticks her tongue out at him, while Weiss speaks.
Weiss: Yes, but the temple was not open.
Prof. Pickle: Oh, don't worry, I'm sure as soon as you find the second half, it will open.
Yang: Alright then. To Adabat, this time during the day!
Nami: Aw... If only we could rest for a single moment...
Nami surrounds herself with an aura of depression and Weiss puts a hand on her shoulder.
Weiss: I understand you, Nami. I'm very tired.
Weiss is affected by her friend's depressed aura and kneels sadly and pathetically. Blake and Robin take them and smile at them.
Robin: Don't be discouraged, we'll see if we can find something to buy.
Blake: Also, that town has good views.
Ruby: Alright team ... Time to go to Adabat!
Beacon students, Straw Hats and Sonic: YEAH!
In Adabat...
Adabat (Day) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Tails: According to the guide, this town is an architectural marvel, built on water in a jungle full of ancient ruins.
Robin: Once we're done, I'd love to explore the ruins.
Tails: If you want I can help you, Robin.
Robin: I'd love to, Tails-kun.
Robien smiles at him and Tails blushes, earning a laugh from everyone.
Sonic: Man, how good it is here!
Sanji: Umm! And the food seems very mellow. I hope you don't mind me asking for the recipes.
Pyrrha: The water seems so crystal clear ...
Ren: There are many trees.
Franky: This place is SUPER awesome, perfect to relax for a few days.
While Ruby is lost in thought.
Jaune: Thinking of Zack, huh?
Ruby sees her friend approach and smiles at him.
Ruby: Yeah ... Why did he have to tell me that this time he wasn't going to come with us!
Jaune: Ruby, he and his friends have things to do, just like us.
Ruby: Yeah...
Jaune: Don't worry, you will surely see it soon.
Ruby: Yes, and I have to be strong like my brothers and him; and I have to be for my team!
Jaune: This is how they speak!
Ruby, full of enthusiasm, runs to meet up, but bumps into someone.
Ruby: Ow!
?: Agrrh! Hey, be more careful, brat!
Ruby: I'm so sorry sir!
Ruby raises her head and sees a rather thin-looking man, but nonetheless has well-defined muscles, a broad back, and a wiry body. His hair is blue and has a somewhat unusual appearance, reminiscent of a clown. He has a large, round and bright red nose that is, contrary to what it may seem, his authentic and natural nose, with which he was born and which also inevitably recalls the typical appearance of clowns.
In his outfit, he wears orange pants and a red sash with white stripes. He also wears a green Hawaiian shirt and has star-shaped sunglasses and a purple scarf on the neck. The man was still angry, until he saw Ruby's face and was surprised when he recognized her.
?: O-Oi, who are you...
Luffy: Ruby, Jaune! Where are you?
Jaune: Luffy, we're in trouble! Ruby has bumped into someone and he is very angry!
Immediately, Luffy, Sonic, and Yang come to their sister's rescue.
?: Ah, Straw Hat! It's you, damn it!
Luffy: Oh, it's Buggy.
Buggy: Stop saying my name in a boring way, you idiot!
Yang: Hey Luffy, who is this?
Luffy: Buggy, an acquaintance.
Buggy: Like "an acquaintance" ?!
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 OST- Buggy's Theme
Buggy: You want to know who I am, you say? I am the man who will become the King of the Pirates ... The man who will collect all the treasures in the world ... The legendary pirate, Captain Buggy!
A light shines behind Buggy, while Yang, Jaune and Sonic gasp.
Sonic: (gaping)
Jaune: "Oh my gosh, what a selfish guy!"
Yang: You are a loser.
Buggy: You were the one who wanted to know my name, you idiot!
Buggy grabs his knives and throws them at the blonde, cutting off a lock of her hair.
Sonic and Jaune: Oh, oh ...
Ruby: Yang, calm down!
Luffy: Buggy, you're done! Shishishishishi!
Buggy: What are you saying ...?
A black and evil aura comes out of Yang.
Buggy: Oh no...
Yang: My hair won't touch you bastard!
Yang activates his Semblance and starts beating the pirate nonstop.
Buggy: Ay, ow, help! She wants to kill me!
Yang: COME BACK HERE!
BGM Ends
Yang begins to chase Buggy down the coast, while Luffy helps Ruby up.
Luffy: Are you okay?
Ruby: Yeah ...
Sonic: And to think that this guy was in the same pirate gang as Mom as an apprentice ...
Ruby: I still can't believe it ...
Jaune: Well, while Yang takes care of him, we will go to the temple.
Luffy: Actually, this time it's just Sonic, Ruby and me.
Jaune: Really '
Sonic: Well, we had a lot of fun together. Also, so you and the others take a break.
Ruby: Take it easy, we'll be fine.
Jaune: In fact ...
The three of them had already run off when Jaune had an angry mark on his head.
Jaune: ... that's what worries me!
Jungle Joyride (Day) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
The brothers and sister are running through the town, surrounded by the sea.
Sonic: Uggg, water.
Ruby: Easy, bro. We have you covered.
Luffy: Sure, shishishi.
Sonic: Thanks guys.
The three of them run at high speed, passing the platforms and reaching land, then they pass in front of a spring, climbing a platform.
Ruby: Watch where you tread, guys!
Sonic: Roger that!
Luffy: Sure ...
Luffy stomps and starts falling off a cliff.
Luffy: AAAAAAAHHH!
Sonic and Ruby: Idiot!
Luffy rushes to grab a ledge and, using his arm as a bungee jump rope, propels himself up.
Luffy: Ugh, thank goodness, I thought I was going to die!
Ruby: You are silly.
The three recover from the shock and go to the top, where they start running, when they see a group of Aero-Chaser.
Sonic: Those things again!
Luffy: Let's finish them off!
Sonic drives himself against several of them, Ruby shoots them with Crescent Rose and Luffy finishes them with a Gomu Gomu no Bazooka. However, lightning strikes them sending them to the beach.
BGM Ends.
All three: Agh!
Sonic: But what ... are you both okay?
Ruby: It hurts, but I'll be fine.
Luffy: Who was it?
?: I'm here.
The three of them look like a very attractive female silhouette, dressed in a black suit, with gold acorn. The head is hidden under a hood, but long white locks emerge. He wields a spear in the shape of a spiral shell, but the main and most remarkable characteristic is that he wore a cape similar to that of the marines like Smoker and Tashigi, with the same kanji for the word "Justice" on the back. The only difference is that the sleeve cuffs are indigo blue.
28. Conversation: Nervous - One Piece World Seeker Soundtrack | OST
Hooded Mysterious: So you are the three that my Sensei was so upset about. Pathetic.
Luffy: Hey you! I don't know who you are, but leave my family alone!
Sonic: Are you from the Navy?!
Hooded Mysterious: You can say we know them, but I'm not from the Navy.
Ruby: He says it because you have the same type of jacket they wear.
Hooded Mysterious: It doesn't matter, my duty is to stop you in the name of "Justice".
Sonic: Justice? You don't seem to know what it is, if you attack people from behind.
Hooded Mysterious: "Rats", you mean. The insignificant beings like you, who all they want is to spread evil throughout existence, do not know what that word means. And more considering that you are the girlfriend of Masayoshi Orion.
The woman points to Ruby, while she, Sonic and Luffy are shocked by what they hear.
Ruby: How do you know that ?!
Hooded Mysterious: Don't worry, you won't live long enough to know.
BGM Ends and begins 16. Navy Admiral Battle - One Piece World Seeker Soundtrack | OST
The woman attacks Sonic at high speed, who pushes himself to one side to avoid her.
Sonic: Wow, it was close!
Ruby goes to the marine (?) And tries to cut her with Crescent Rose, but is blocked by her spear.
Ruby: Ngh!
Hooded Mysterious: Don't you know more than this? You are predictable.
She repels Ruby and kicks her sending her into a cliff.
Sonic: Ruby! You will...!
The spearwoman swoops down on Sonic again, only to be stopped by the rubber pirate. Luffy, enraged, beats her nonstop and sends her into the water. However, he manages to get out immediately, pointing the spear at him in a signal of combat. Ruby, although injured, meets with Sonic and Luffy and the three begin to fight together against the woman who seems to be from the Navy: Ruby activates her Semblance and Sonic creates a Whirlwind, forming and cutting tornado, however, the silhouette cuts him with his spear. However, he doesn't realize that Luffy already had the Red Hawk ready. Luffy's blow hits her squarely and burns her. The marine (?) Spat out some saliva and went back on the attack, changing her target to Luffy.
Hooded Mysterious: I admit that you know how to fight as a team, although it is not enough!
Luffy receives a blow from the spear on his left shoulder, while screaming in pain. The hooded woman draws her spear from the pirate's shoulder to try to stab him in the stomach. Then Ruby appears trying to cut her and she stops her. Showing annoyance, he tries to kill her, but Ruby blocks all the attacks with great skill.
Ruby: I won't let you kill my family.
Ruby unleashes her Haoshoku Haki, surprising the woman and stunning her, letting Luffy and Sonic deal a double hit, sending her into a wall.
BGM Ends
Hooded Mysterious: Ha. Not bad, I must admit.
The three heroes are tired, but they are still standing, defiant.
Sonic: Please ... This ... is ... nothing.
Ruby: Well said ... Sonic.
Hooded Mysterious: I could finish you off right now ... But I won't. For now.
The Mysterious Hooded One throws a key at them and the three of them recognize it instantly: it was the diune half of Adabat's Key of Gaia.
Sonic: Why?
Hooded Mysterious: My original mission was another and you have won our impromptu combat. Nothing more to say.
Luffy: But we can still fight! We are not done!
Hooded Mysterious: For me, it was a total defeat. We will see us again.
The hooded woman leaves, leaving the three fighters tired, but with a smile.
Two minutes later...
The hooded woman stops to rest leaning against one of the trees, when she receives a call through a very technologically advanced communicator.
Mysterious Hooded: Sir!
?: Admiral Bles, did you do it?
Mysterious Hooded: Yes sir!
The marine (?) Takes out a file with Zack's photo and smiles satisfied.
Mysterious Hooded: Although it is only a part, it contains information about the captain of the 7th Division of the Dragon King Pirates.
?: And you say you found it in the temple, along with the key?
Mysterious Hooded: That's right. I can't tell you how it is possible, but the information is true, sir.
?: What does it say?
Mysterious Hooded:
"Entry one: I have found this dying child that my robots have found. From my bunch of flops from that damn hedgehog and his friends that even Infinite couldn't deal with it. It gave me the idea of creating something like a monstrous weapon; the perfect weapon. So chew, they won't know what hit it. This boy's name is Zacksry Masayoshi Orion. According to the data, I searched his mind with my machine. It appears that his father was a former pirate and his mother a hunter. He also claims to have three sibilings. , an older sister, a little brother and a little sister. During his life is fine, he met Cinder Fall. Ohoho, that fool is so easy to fool and manipulate of her delighted to think that it is love but it is not. Apparently he made a deal with Rob Lucci, a member of CP-0 and Magellan. She and her partners; Mercury Black, Emerald Sustrai... It appears that they led the Grimms to massacre the boy's village and its people, destroying his family in the process. I bet you humiliated and tormented him, explain the stab in the stomach and the bleeding death."
"Entry two: Thanks to my flea-sized Bggbots, I've started collecting genetics from the strongest warriors in all known worlds. So I went back in time to pat down to collect more databases and their biological cells every time they get close. to a near-death battle and absolutely wounded from their previous adventures." It's all I could find sir.
?: Hmm ... How do you know the information is true?
Mysterious Hood: It has the Robotnik logo.
?: I see ... It's not much, but we already have a solid base from which to start investigating. Nice job. And take off the hood.
The hooded woman is disguised as a beautiful woman with red eyes.
?: Good work, Selvaria-san. I knew you were the one for this mission.
Selvaria: Sir ... You are very kind.
?: Silly stuff. I am not nice, I am fair. Be careful anyway. And inform me of the situation at all times.
Selvaria: Yes, Sensei.
