SailorStar9: Well, with Chapter 131 up, this is Chapter 132 this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

M.M: As to where Sasha would be sent to, she would end up on one of the many inhabited islands that used to be under Selena's rule during the Void Century; the reason why it is inhabited is because only either Sasha or someone bearing the 'D' bloodline can enter it. The island itself serves as a storage area for quite a number of relatively important genealogy 'D' bloodline family scrolls, along with a massive armory. More importantly, it houses the ceremonial alter where the original 'D' Family Heads swore a blood oath fealty to Queen Selena.

Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, possible Ace/Sasha/Law if I get enough votes. And speaking of votes, the current pairing poll for Ace/Sasha and Ace/Sasha/Law is... (refers to reviews)

Ace/Sasha: 11 votes

Ace/Sasha/Law: 8 votes

SailorStar9: Well, looks like Ace/Sasha is currently in the lead by a margin. This poll ends in the 'Kuma Sends Everyone To Their Training Spots' chapter.

Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda Eiichirō-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.

Chapter 132: Arc 10: Overwhelming! The Navy's Fighting Weapons, the Pacifistas


"But who've thought that we'd meet one of the Pirate King's crew-mate in a place like this." Franky mused. "It surprised me. How should I put it..." he trailed. "He really left an impression, especially for a geezer."

"He is the most famous of Roger's crew-mates, after all." Usopp pointed out.

"So, he was a crew of the Oro Jackson, huh?" Franky recalled Tom's trial. "I'm glad I met him."

"Hey," Luffy voiced. "Why don't we go to the amusement park?"

"Will you shut up!" Usopp and Franky snapped.

"Don't you understand the situation we're in?" Franky scolded.


"You're kidding me!" Nami stammered, as a Pacifista with the likeness of Bartholomew Kuma appeared in front of the Straw Hat crew.

"Who're you?" Luffy asked.

"Stand back, Luffy!" Usopp shouted.

"He's one of the Seven Warlords." Nami replied.

"Seven Warlords?" Luffy echoed. "How do you know?"

"No matter what, don't let that hit you!" Sanji warned as the Pacifista raised a hand. "It's a shockwave."

"What's this?" Nami winced, the ground shaking from the shockwave after the Pacifista fired a laser beam from it's outstretched palm.

"He could even do this?" Usopp exclaimed.

"That's not a shockwave." Luffy remarked, dodging the attack.

"That's a..." Chopper gaped.

"Beam!" both Luffy and Chopper chorused in unison.

"Not the time to be impressed." Sasha reminded.

"Bartholomew Kuma..." Robin stated. "Why is he here again?"

"Is he that guy that showed up afterwards on Thriller Bark?" Luffy asked.

"That's him." Usopp confirmed. "Back then, he made some shockwave from the pads on his hand and caused us a lot of trouble."

"He was planning to eliminate us there," Chopper turned into Heavy Point. "But Sasha forced him to leave. I guess he returned to finish the job."

"Back then, you sure got us good." Franky readied his air cannon. "Coup de Vent!" he released the blast of air straight into the Pacifista's body, the impact sending the cyborg backwards into a tree.

"It worked." Nami noted.

"No, that troublesome guy us just fine." Franky corrected.

"Gear Second!" Luffy charged up. "I already know you're strong, so I'll go all-out right away."

"We've got no choice." Sanji growled, loosening his tie.

"Ex-quip: Ocean Empress Armor." Sasha summoned one of her top-tier battle armors, along with the 'Gaiden's Blade'.

Something's strange... Zoro mused. He feels different from back then. Is it just my imagination?

"Let's go!" Luffy gave the order.

The Pacifista attacking the crew was wrecking havoc with laser beams from its mouth in the grove.

"Unbelievable." Franky was shocked, the rain of attacks having split the crew up.

"From his hands and his mouth, too?" Usopp gaped. "Another one's coming!" he warned as the Pacifista prepared to fire another beam from its palm.

Luffy jumped to dodge the energy beam, the attack forcing Usopp, Franky and Brook to flee.


"Just what the hell was that?" Franky asked, the trio having hid inside a building to catch their breath.


Back in the fight, the crew's three heavy hitters charged at the Pacifista in unison.

"Santoryu..." Zoro readied his attack.

"Gomu Gomu no..." Luffy charged up.

"Diable..." Sanji heated up his leg. "Mouton Shot!"

"Jet!" Luffy let loose his flurry of punches.

"Roppyaku Pound Cannon!" Zoro finished the combination attack, the combined force sending the Pacifista skidding backwards on the ground.

"Tidal Force," Sasha was already charging for the final blow. "Azure Dragon Tail!" she released the powerful water vortex at the fallen Pacifista, the tornado of seawater sending the cyborg back even further.


"Did they get him?" Nami asked, her, Chopper and Robin had taken refuge behind a protruding root.

"The enemy is a Warlord." Robin reminded. "They won't beat him so easily. I can tell just from their expressions."


"Is he really that different?" Luffy asked, readjusting his hat and panting. "Does that mean that he's his twin or something?"

"That is a possibility." Sanji agreed.

"Anyway, if he's the real guy, then he would have instantly dodged our attacks." Zoro reasoned. "More importantly, he's not shooting out shockwaves and he doesn't have pads."

"Devil Fruit abilities don't instantly change overnight." Sasha stated.

"And if he's a fake, then that's a problem as well." Sanji agreed. "That means there are two people as strong as him."

Minutes later, the Pacifista got back to its feet and renewed its assault, the beams it rained on Luffy forcing the rubber man to run and dodge the attack.

Zoro took the opening and charged in with the '108 Pound Cannon', the energy blades cutting through the Pacifista's shoulder and revealing electric circuits underneath.

"Concassé!" Sanji landed a kick at the back of the Pacifista's thigh.

"108 Pound..." Zoro closed in, but was forced to dodge the incoming laser beam. Landing on the ground, he jumped to dodge a second laser beam from the Pacifista's mouth.

"Zoro!" Luffy hurried back, shocked to see the groaning swordsman on his back.

"Leave him alone, Luffy." Sanji barked. "We've gotten defeat this thing first." There's no way his wounds from back then could've healed completely. He mused. From what I can see, just standing up to face the enemy must be really painful for him. If this bastard isn't Bartholomew Kuma, then who is he? He looks exactly like one of the Seven Warlords. What the hell is going on?
