"So...while we are waiting for our train to reach Argus, why don't you tell us a bit about your adventures, Jaune?"asked Yang, wanting to know what Jaune and Cat Viper had to say.

This caught the two members of the Ten Red Scabbards off guard, as just a moment ago they were drinking a hot cup of green tea, while Cat Viper was helping himself to some lasagna at the same time

"Um, sure..."said Jaune, as he didn't see any need to hide anything about where he had been or what he had been doing the last thirteen years, besides his willingness to meet his end at Onigashima.

"So, who is the guy you two served?"asked Weiss, wanting to know who is this man that these two strong warriors respected so much

"His name was Kozuki Oden, and he was by far the most selfish man I had ever met."said Jaune with a smile.

"No going to argue with that."added Cat Viper, causing the old friends to chuckle a little.

"Was he strong?"asked Nora with curiosity.

"Well he threw his Nanny when he was only a toddler, caught two rabbits when he was barely walking, and when he was a young child he knocked out a bear with one hit."said Jaune, remembering all the stories he heard about Oden during his rebellious past.

"Anything else?"asked Nora, wanting to know what just how strong this guy her leader called lord was.

"Well, from what my friends told me he wants cut apart a giant boar the size of a warship in half with one slice."said Jaune, as Oden told him that he just wanted some boar meat and the parent boar came looking for his baby, one thing led to another and that's what happened...

Although Jaune suspected there was more to the story as Kin'emon and Denjiro always acted strange whenever that story was told again.

"Woah..."said Ruby, as that sounded impressive.

"Are you sure he didn't make that up?"asked Weiss, as cutting the boar the size of a warship with one slice sounded next to impossible.

"It happened!"said Jaune and Cat Viper at the same time.

"Okay, I was just being skeptical!"said Weiss in her own defense.

"So, can you tell us about his weapon or weapons?"asked Ruby, wanting to know about a samurai sword or swords as she was a weapon nut.

"Enma and Ame no Habikiri are among the twenty one great grade swords of the Meito class. Those swrds were forged with the power to cut apart the underworld and the heavens! Emna is a sword that is said to drain you of your Ryou, and no one besides lord Oden have been able to master it. Ame no Habikiri is said to be extremely sharp, and by combining both swords and made lord Oden a force of nature."said Jaune, as Ruby carefully wrote down everything he was saying.

"What about this Pirate King, Gold Roger?"asked Pyrrha, as Jaune has mentioned his name on more than one occasion.

"Hahahahahaha, it's Gol D Roger, a lot of people get the name wrong."said Jaune, as a lot of people do mistake the name Gold Roger for Gol D Roger.

"So, how did he become the Pirate King?"asked Ren, curious as to who this man was.

"Well he was the most free man in the world. He could do whatever he wanted, when he wanted. And he had the strength to prove it to everyone."said Jaune, knowing that Roger could take on the likes of Whitebeard and lord Oden.

"What about his weapon?"asked Ruby, wanting to know what weapon was worthy of belonging to the pirate king.

"His Cutlass was named Ace. It was a strange Cutlass but it was one of the twelve supreme grade swords of the Meito class, meaning it was one of the greatest weapons in the world. That sword could unleash devastation on anyone who was against Roger."said Jaune, as Ruby once again wrote down everything he was saying.

"What about his abilities?"asked Ren, wanting to know the Pirate King's abilities.

"Well, he had his sword and flintlock pistol. He used his wits and grit to survive any battle. Roger wasn't a coward in any form or way and you better not have insulted his crew in front of his face, otherwise you were in for a world of hurt."said Jaune, knowing that Roger wouldn't run away if someone he cared about was insulted...

And those unlucky who insulted his crew ended up dead...

"So, if you insulted one of his friends he never run away and made sure you paid for it."clarified Weiss.

"Yeah, as far as I know he never had a scar on his back even once as he never ran away from a fight."said Jaune with a smile."The same could be said about Whitebeard. That man never had a scar on his back and I doubt he ever will have a scar on his back..."said Jaune, as Cat Viper looked at him with a concern look.

'He doesn't know that old man Whitebeard has passed on...' thought Cat Viper, who knew it was possible as Jaune was sent twenty years into the future, so anything that happened in the world in those twenty years... he wouldn't know anything about it...

Jaune on the other hand looked at the relic of knowledge and felt a strange sensation coming from it, almost as if he could hear a heartbeat? But how was that possible as it was just a fancy lamp...a lamp that contained all the knowledge of Remnant, but still...it maybe magic but it couldn't be alive... right?

"We have company."said Cat Viper, as Jaune and him could feel multiple sources coming in at once with their observation Haki.

"Is it the Grimm?!"asked Qrow, readying his weapon.

"They must be attracted to the relic of knowledge."said Ozpin, through Oscar.

"Well, we should teach them a lesson!"said Yang as she cracked her knuckles.

"Yeah, by eliminating them!"said Ruby, as she pulled out Cresent Rose.

"Now hold your horses."said Jaune, as he and Cat Viper stood up from where they were sitting.

"I think it's time we show these younglings how people on the Grand Line fight!"said Cat Viper, pulling out his right hand with his sharpened claws!

"Yeah!"said Jaune, pulling out Crocea Mors and Kashu.

"Wait!"said Pyrrha, but before anyone could say anything they blinked and samurai were gone!

"Where did they go?"asked Blake, wondering where those two ran off to.

Suddenly they heard footsteps on the train roof and they soon got their answer!

"I think they're on the roof."said Pyrrha, worried about Jaune as he was still recovering from his wounds he suffered from Jack.

...

"It's been a while since we've really fought with one another, hasn't it?"asked Cat Viper as he was cracking his neck.

"I believe the last time we fought together was when we were escaping Orochi and Kaido's forces."said Jaune, as he began coding his swords with Ryou!

"Nyaaaa! Time to show these soulless creatures real power!"said Cat Viper, as multiple winged Grimm began flying in.

"Crimson Cat Dance!"said Cat Viper as he jumped forward it again slashing through Grimm after Grimm with his sharpened claws.

"Arc style: meteor barrage!"said Jaune as he began thrusting his sword so fast that they release flash waves of energy that started decimating the Grimm like they were being shot by bullets!

"Nya nya! I don't think you Grimm can handle my electro!"said Cat Viper, as he began electrocuting the grim with his electoral powers!

"Arc style: Venus Storm!"said Jaune, as he put his feet together and took a deep breath before he began rotating like he was a spinning top!

Soon Jaune began slashing through the grim like he was a buzz saw as he cut apart limb after limb, head after head with his razor sharp swords! Cat Viper meanwhile grab the particularly large Grimm's head and slammed it into the mountain wall, causing it to quickly shred into swiss cheese as soon as it made contact with the rock formation!

"They are pretty persistent!"said Jaune, noticing more Grimm were showing up!

"You youngsters look like you could use some help!"said an old woman with mechanical eyes, or would look like mechanical glasses?

"Who are you?"asked Cat Viper, clawing through a handful of Grimm.

"You then just call me Maria. And I think it's time these Grimm learn not to mess with humans!"said Maria she revealed that her cane was a scythe!

"This old lady still has some fight in her, impressive!"said Jaune, as Maria swung her scythe and cut through a handful of Grimm.

Maria was about to be struck when out of nowhere Ruby came flying in and cut down the grim that was about to attack her!

"You to may be powerhouses, but the both of you have injuries on yourself so it's better if you rest. Leave the rest to us!"said Ruby, revealing that her and the rest of team RWBY were now on top of the train.

"Nya! Like my warrior's pride will allow me to step aside!"said Cat Viper, as even though he only had one hand he could still fight!

"Yeah, don't underestimate us just because we're injured!"said Jaune, slashing through a Grimm head as he said that.

"Time for us to show you the results of our training!"said Yang, as she somersaulted into the air and struck a flying Grimm with her fist, before shooting it point blank in the face!

Blake was about to be struck by multiple Grimm, when she used her semblance to, then she pulled out gamble shroud and using her elongated ribbon managed to slash through multiple heads at once, killing the Grimm that surrounded her instantly!

Weiss meanwhile for multiple glyphs to act as platforms for her and Ruby to work together so that they could take out multiple flying Grimm at once with their combined attacks!

"Jaune, you really have some great friends."said Cat Viper, as it was clear that despite the many years apart from one another the friendship was still as strong as ever.

"Yeah..."said Jaune, as he would really miss leaving these guys behind but knew he had a duty to free Wano from its current Shogun and his benefactor.

He made a promise and an Arc never breaks a promise!

"What are you two old guys waiting around for? Are you going to fight or are you going to play chicken!"said Yang, infuriating Jaune and Cat Viper.

"You're going to regret saying that, Yang Xiao Long!"said Jaune, as he was sure to make Yang pay for it later!

"Arc style: Harvest Moon!"said Jaune, as he lifted both swords high in the air and began swinging them in the form of a full moon before he unleashed a powerful slash wave in the form of a curvy line!

"Duck!"yelled Cat Viper, as everyone who had a soul heated his warning and ducked down in the nick of time, avoiding the flash wave as it cut through the remaining Grimm!

"Crimson Cat Dance!"said Cat Viper as he slashed through whatever was left!

"Waoh!"said Yang, as she was impressed of that slash wave was so strong that it even cut a part of a nearby mountain.

"I told you, I've been training non-stop to face someone who is a hell of a lot stronger than me! And even now I must continue to get stronger if I ever hope to defeat him!"said Jaune, as Kaido wasn't known as the strongest creature of the Grand Line for nothing.

"Okay, I think that's all the Grimm that were in this area! I must say, I've never seen two people fight like that. Nor have I seen a faunus as furry and as large as you, my feline friend."said Maria, wanting to know more about these mysterious warriors who she's never heard of despite the fact they clearly packed a wallup inside their chassis.

"Haahh... let's go back inside as I'm freezing."said Cat Viper, who was one who was never too fond of the cold despite the fact he was covered in fur.

"Yeah, I can feel my stitches opening up."said Jaune, as last thing he needed was to be put under bed rest like he was during the initial hours of his injuries by Ruby and Pyrrha.

"Yeah, as I think we're about to go through a tunnel and I don't think any of us are mountain proof."said Blake, pointing over to a nearby tunnel that the train was about to pass through.

"Good point."said everyone else as they made their way back inside the train.

-=O=-

[Argus: Remnant]

"So... we finally made it to Argus."said Jaune, as everyone looked outside the window to see a giant wall that protected the trade City from the threat of Grimm.

"Wow!"said Ruby, as she was amazed by the amount of sentient engineering and must have taken to make that wall.

"It's like nothing I've ever seen before."said Cat Viper, as the nobles of their world would be surely jealous of the engineering of this world.

"Now, we're about to pass through the wall so I think everything should be okay."said Jaune, as he looked extremely nervous for some reason.

"What's wrong, Jaune?"asked Pyrrha, wondering why he was so nervous.

"I think I know where we can go for a place to stay... the only problem is I don't know how to explain everything that has happened to her."said Jaune, as he knew this was going to be one of the toughest battles of his life.

"Her?"asked everyone else, wondering what he meant by that.

"Haaa... it's been more than thirteen years since the last time... I wonder how her and her wife are doing with their son."said Jaune, as everyone else was wondering who he was talking about.

But Jaune didn't say another word as everyone disembarked from the train and began heading into the middle of Argus! As they were following the former leader of team JNPR, they couldn't help but notice how nervous he was as it was like he was going to see someone he hasn't seen for in a long time. But who was this mysterious female he hasn't seen in a long time? What was her relationship to Jaune.

Pyrrha couldn't help but wonder this as part of her was saying that it was an ex-girlfriend or something..

Jaune on the other hand arrived at a normal looking house and made his way to the front door before knocking. A few seconds later a woman who bared a strong resemblance to him answer the door.

"Hello...Dad, what are you doing here?"asked the woman, before noticing that it wasn't her dad.

"Jaune, is this your sister or something?"asked Cat Viper, as Jaune slapped himself in the face as he couldn't believe his friend had just spilled the beans before he had a chance to tell his sister that it was him.

"Jaune!"said Jaune's sister, has she got a better look at the man in front of her.

"Hey, Saffron... it's been a while."said Jaune, as everyone behind him gasped upon seeing that it was his older sister, or in this case kind of older sister was the person he was talking about.

Saffron meanwhile we came teary eyed as she looked Jaune up and down before she gave him a bear hug.

"I wonder if this is a dream but if it is I don't want to ever wake up."said Saffron, as for the longest time she thought her brother was dead.

That he died at the Battle of Beacon!

"No, I'm alive and I have a lot of explaining to do."said Jauen, as Saffron began pulling him into her house.

"You sure have a lot of explaining to do, mister!"said Saffron, as Jaune knew he was going to get the earful of his life.

The others meanwhile this nervously looked at each other for a moment before deciding to follow him inside as it had been a long day and they were honestly very tired!
