Chapter.7: The power of the darkness!
The hidden power of Ruby and Sonic!
By day, in the port, Ruby wakes up, in her underwear and walks on the deck of the Ocean Tornado.
Ruby: Ahhhh... Sleep was what I needed. Although it is a bit complicated to be Devil Rose... The pajamas were not my size.
?: Wow, really? Is that why you are almost naked on the deck?
Ruby: Yes, I was really thinking about putting on my clothes, but I thought that if I got up early nobody would notice. Plus, it's incredibly liberating...
An uncomfortable wind blows and Ruby jumps.
Ruby: Kyaaaaaaa! Who?
Look up and see Luffy, head cocked to the side.
Luffy: What's wrong with you, why are you screaming?
Ruby: Why do you think?! I am almost naked!
Luffy: Ah, it's just that.
Ruby: "Just that"?!
Sonic: Ruby, are you okay? I seemed...
Sonic sees Ruby only in her underwear and quickly covers her eyes.
Ruby: KYYYYYAAAAAA!
Sonic: I-I-I'm so-sorry!
Luffy: But what's wrong with you?
With all the fuss everyone wakes up.
Yang: Ruby...? What do you...?
Go to Ruby in her underwear and activate her Semblance, Burn, ready to hit Sonic and Luffy.
Sonic: Y-Yang, this is not what it seem...
Yang: You two...
Luffy: But what is it? We have only seen your sister in underwear.
Sonic: Idiot...
Yang: I DON'T THINK YOU FORGIVE!
In Spagonia, people wonder how it is possible that someone has received such a beating. Sonic had several bruises and a bump, while Luffy...
Nami: You are stupid! How can you think of looking at a girl when she has no clothes?
Luffy: I-I'm sb… orr… blyy.
Yang: That's it, Nami. It was not so bad either.
Sonic: Says the one that almost killed me!
Ruby: I feel sorry for my sister; she is very overprotective.
Weiss: For starters, what were you doing on the deck just your underwear?
Ruby: When I'm Devil Rose, my clothes grow with my body, but it doesn't come back when I'm me, so my pajamas got too big for me.
Blake: Too bad...
Ruby: Well, I thought it wouldn't matter if no one saw me.
Usopp: The problem is that Luffy saw you; he has no idea about these things.
Jaune: I have to know: how is it possible that HE is the captain?
Usopp: I wish I knew.
By the time they got to college, they saw the Marines roaming back and forth without stopping.
Tashigi: Thank goodness! Smoker-san, Professor, they're here!
Smoker: It was about time! What the hell were you doing?
Yang: You don't want to know.
Prof. Pickle: Oh, you are here! This is worrying.
Tails: What is it, Vice Admiral Smoker?
Smoker: That Eggman guy is in Mazuri!
All: WHAT?
Smoker: And what's worse: he is accompanied by a pirate from our world!
Nami: I thought so!
Sanji: Do you know who he is?
Smoker: No, but if my suspicions are true, we have a problem.
Luffy: What are we doing wasting time? We have to go to Maruziki.
Nami: It's "Mazuri", you idiot!
Everyone heads to the port, while Ruby stops Sonic and Luffy.
Ruby: Guys, wait a second.
Luffy: What's up?
Sonic: Ruby, is something wrong?
Ruby: Sorry about this morning.
Luffy: Shishishi! Don't worry, it was my fault.
Sonic: The truth is yes, but... It was an accident. Do not worry.
Ruby: Do you think we can save this world?
Luffy: Of course!
Luffy takes one of Ruby's hands.
Luffy: Don't worry, together we will make it. And if you ever can't do it, I'll be by your side!
Ruby blushes when Sonic grabs her other hand.
Sonic: Yes! And if you or Luffy are in trouble, I will cover and protect you!
Ruby gets like a tomato, and smiles.
Ruby: Thanks.
Luffy and Sonic smile.
Sonic: Come on, slow one. If you don't fall behind.
Ruby couldn't hear anything, she was fantasizing.
Ruby: O-O-Okay, I-I'm co-co-coming.
Yang sees this and smiles.
Yang: "My little sister ... You will be itchy"
Eggman Again - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
In Mazuri, Eggman's robots and pirates held the locals, questioning them about the Gaia temple.
Yawa: Wh-Who are you?!
Eggman: Oh ho ho ho! Fear not, my good villagers!
?: Zehahahaha. My partner is right. If you all behave, we won't have to do anything nasty.
Eggman: You just have to tell us where the Temple of Gaia is.
Kwod: We won't tell you anything! Neither of the two!
Kwod picks up two stones and throws them both, hitting Eggman, but the other absorbs him and shoots him into the sky, scaring everyone.
Kwod: What just...?
?: Zehaha! Nice shot boy. I think you will be a great member of my crew!
Eggman: So you dare to defy me, do you?
When the thing seems lost, Sonic appears destroying the robots and Luffy knocks out the pirates.
Eggman: Sonic!
Sonic and Luffy appear with Team RWBY and JNPR; and the Straw Hats in full.
Sonic: Yo Eggman. Thanks for that skydiving adventure the other day!
Eggman: I should have know you´d still be alive, you stubborn little hedgehog!
?: Well well; it's you.
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 Fruit Of Darkness (OST)
Luffy shudders to find out whose voice it is. He turns to see him better. His beard is heavily populated, so he wears it collected with various ties. He wears a black shirt with large white buttons (although he is wearing it open) with a maroon border, a large brown belt holding dark blue long pants with dozens of light blue decorations, and dark boots with a little heel, as well as a large black pirate hat with her jolly roger next to a pair of adjacent feathers and a bright orange feather scarf. His name was Marshall D. Teach.
Luffy: You ... Blackbeard!
Teach: Zehahahaha! How long, Straw Hat! I've heard everything you've done on Whole Cake. Challenge Big Mom and win her, not only that, but one of The Seven Sea Warriors joined your crew, being Jimbei! Even become the Fifth Emperor! Although I think it is too soon for them to call you that. Zehahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Luffy growls angrily as the Straw Hats get ready.
Nami: Ruby, you and the others stay behind.
Ruby: Why?
Robin: That man is terribly dangerous.
Weiss: Please, it doesn't seem dangerous...
Teach: Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.
Weiss is petrified, while all the hunters are surprised.
Teach: What's going on, princess? Did you think that because I am not in your world, I cannot collect information about you? Your father must be desperate; I bet surrendering to him would be a very lucrative thing!
Blake: How...?
Eggman: Blake Belladonna, former member of White Fang, a terrorist Faun organization.
Blake panics, as Jimbei recalls his conversation with Blake.
Jimbei: "So this is what tormented her. Damn you, Blackbeard and Eggman!"
Eggman: Uh, your record is impressive, even murders.
Blake: No... I... I...
Yang: Stop it! Nora!
Nora: You don't even have to say it!
Both fighters run until the two, however Teach smiles.
Teach: Kurouzu!
Teach reaches out to his two opponents and activates the force of gravity from his darkness to pull them into his hands. He then stamps them on the ground with his massive force.
RWB and JPR: NORA, YANG!
Teach throws them into one of the buildings, knocking them unconscious.
Jaune: Nora, hold on!
Ren: Chopper, can you...?
Chopper: I'll take care of it!
Ruby sees Teach's destruction, and then unspeakable anger seizes her.
Sonic: Eggman, how come you fell so low!
Eggman: I don't have time to listen to you, hedgehog. Oh well you can end up as Ace.
That name was the trigger. The Straw Hats are scared of Luffy, who trembles with anger.
Luffy: Don't... dare... you... talk... about... ACE!
A strange presence emerges from Luffy, knocking out the pirates and helping the animals, impressing Sonic and Ruby, as well as the rest of the Beacon Hunters. Eggman is frightened and feels a pressure, while Teach smiles.
Teach: We are leaving, Straw Hat. Bye!
Eggman and Teach leave, leaving our group behind.
Chip: Wha? Hey! Wait, that's dirty play! Come back here!
Sonic: Just ignore it. Everyone is fine?
Mazuri (Day) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Locals say yes, but our heroes are touched. Ruby clenches her fist, digging her nails, causing blood to drain.
Nami: Ruby...
Ruby: I'm going for them. And let no one stop me.
Two hands appear on his shoulders. Luffy and Sonic look at her, willing Eggman and Teach to pay for this.
Sonic: All three of us.
Luffy: Come on. Gear Second.
Luffy pumps blood through his entire body, turning pink and expelling steam.
The three begin to run at full speed.
Zoro: Ugh ... what a bummer. You guys have a lot to explain. Pyrrha, come on.
Pyrrha: Y-Yes.
Zoro and Pyrrha begin to follow them, although Zoro goes in the opposite direction.
Sanji: Marimo, follow Pyrrha-swan!
Zoro: Nghhh, shut up!
Zoro runs, yes, following Pyrrha.
The three heroes, furious with Eggman and Teach, follow closely behind as they continue searching for the temple.
Teach: Oi, Eggman. You're good?
Eggman: Yeah, but what was that thing in the straw hat doing?
Teach: That is called Haoshoku Haki, the ability to impose the will on others.
Eggman was stunned by such power.
Teach: However, unlike the other two types of Haki, this one cannot be taught. You MUST be born with it.
Eggman: Ngh ... Wait, are there two more guys?
The Egg Beetle - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Sonic: Eggman!
Luffy: Blackbeard!
Ruby: We are not going to let you run away!
Eggman: Rrgh! How did you get there so fast? It doesn't matter, your path ends here.
Suddenly Eggman turns around and prepares for combat, appearing next to him an arachnid-shaped robot with a huge clamp.
Teach: Nice pot.
Eggman: Behold my new power! "Egg Beetle", GO!
Sonic hits one of the sneakers, ready to fight.
Luffy: Sonic, Eggman is yours. I'm going for Blackbeard.
Ruby: I help you, Luffy. He hurt my sister and laughed at my friends.
Sonic: You know, I'm really mad right now.
Boss Battle (Day) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Sonic begins to fight Eggman, while the two leaders remain with Teach.
Teach: Zehahahaha! This will be entertaining!
Teach tries to hit Luffy, but he is too fast and hits him with his black fist. Ruby takes advantage to cut him, causing blood to flow.
Teach: Argh, that hurts me more than any other human being!
Ruby: That's for my sister.
Teach: Heh, not bad, but you shouldn't underestimate me. Black Hole!
Luffy: Ruby, get out of there!
Teach spreads its darkness over a large area and, like a real black hole, it swallows whatever is in place. When you ingest multiple objects, it is subjected to a large amount of gravity and crushes it. Ruby is trapped.
Luffy: RUBY! Bastard! Gum-Gum...
Teach: Kurouzu.
Teach extends his darkness, catching Luffy.
Teach: You are still too impulsive.
Then from the hand that Luffy was holding, a white orb appears.
Luffy: It's...!
Teach, smiling, crushes Luffy, breaking the ground and releasing everything he "gulps" from his darkness. Luffy takes huge damage, and Ruby is fleeced crashing into a tree.
Luffy: R-Ruby ...!
Meanwhile, Sonic and Eggman continue their fight.
Eggman: Take this!
Eggman tries to cut Sonic with his pincer, but this one uses the turbo to hit him, causing him to make several bell turns.
Eggman: You little...!
Suddenly they feel the tremor that Teach caused.
Sonic: What's going on?
Eggman: OH HO HO HO HO! So your "friends" haven't told you.
Sonic: What are you talking about, egg face?
Eggman: My partner has the power of darkness and the power to cause earthquakes.
Sonic: WHAT?! "It can't be possible... unless..." The powers of the Devil Fruits.
Eggman: That's right, with that power I can take over the world! But you won't live to tell it. Pumps away!
The Egg Beetle throws bombs at him, which he successfully dodges.
Meanwhile, Zoro and Pyrrha are destroying robots.
Zoro: You are very annoying. Santoryu Ogi: Rokudo no Tsuji.
It consists of a very fast attack, since it is barely visible. Cut off Zoro's enemies and the affected area is again cut into six parts. Pyrrha uses her Semblance and repels machines.
Pyrrha: Hey, about...
Zoro: This is not the time! Senhachiju Pound Ho!
Zoro maintains a horizontal sword, just like the one in the mouth, behind the shoulder and the other also behind him but diagonally. Zoro then propels himself forward, propelling the swords as well, and launches three slashing air and energy projectiles at the enemy, which forcefully transform into large cuts of compressed air and energy.
Pyrrha: Impressive.
Zoro: Besides, we have also hidden some things from you. The best thing will be that when we are all together we tell each other everything.
Pyrrha: Right, we have to find Ruby and the others.
Pyrrha runs in the direction of the Egg Beetle, when Zoro goes to the city.
Pyrrha: Zoro, this is it.
Zoro: Grrr. I know where it is!
Pyrrha had a drop on his head.
Pyrrha: I am not so sure.
Back with Ruby and Luffy...
Ruby was bleeding from the head and had a broken arm and Luffy, for his part, was also bleeding, he also had several bruises and was exhausted.
Teach: Hahahahaha. Is this all the Fifth "Emperor" can do? Ha, it's not worth fighting with you anymore, Straw Hat.
Ruby stands up, with Crescent Rose on her remaining arm, challenging Blackbeard.
Ruby: Leave him... now.
Teach: Zehahaha! Have courage, I recognize you and a great will. But you are just a girl.
Ruby: I'm not...!
Ruby falls to her knees, to the limit of her strength. Teach approaches her, ready to capture her.
Luffy: Blackbeard... Leave her...
Teach: Don't worry, Straw Hat. You will be an amazing member of my crew! Your friends will be perfect slaves! And her sister, although she is a hairless woman, will be a perfect wife.
Ruby already had enough.
She stood up suddenly, encouraged by the huge fury.
Ruby: No ... I'll let you...
Teach: Huh?
Ruby: I WILL NOT LET YOU TOUCH MY FRIENDS OR MY FAMILY!
And then from Ruby, an aura similar to Luffy comes out, hitting the whole place, greatly surprising Luffy and even Teach, who smiles.
Teach: "Who would have imagined it... She has it too!"
With Sonic, he continues to fight the Egg Beetle, which already has smoke and fire coming out of it. The robot fires missiles at Sonic, failing a lot.
Eggman: Hedgehog nosy!
Sonic: Prepare, Eggman.
Eggman: I don't understand how they can worry you so much. They are losers.
Sonic: Repeat that if you have the guts, Eggman!
Eggman: And your brother ... I should have died along with yours!
Sonic clenched his fists. Eggman crossed a line.
Sonic: You ... I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO MAKE FUN OF MY FAMILY!
Sonic unleashes the same type of presence as Luffy and Ruby, scaring Eggman.
Eggman: It is not possible...
Sonic, enraged, goes through the robot causing it to explode.
Sonic: Ha, same as ever, all bark and no bite!
Eggman: I will remember this!
Eggman calls Teach with a custom Den Den Mushi.
Eggman: Teach, they beat me, we're off!
Teach: Zehahahahaha! It seems that we will have to meet on another occasion, Straw Hat and Red Reaper!
Teach gets on the Eggmoblie and they both escape.
Ruby: Come back!
Ruby, exhausted, falls when Luffy catches her.
Luffy: Ruby! Easy, I have you.
Zoro and Pyrrha, who had just arrived, were surprised.
Zoro: You've seen it, right?
Pyrrha: Clear as the day.
Chip: It's what Luffy did when he got really mad, right?
Chip hovers next to the two swordsmen.
Zoro: Where do you come from ?!
Chip: I hid, and I looked for the temple of Gaia.
Sonic: Zoro, Pyrrha, you are here.
Pyrrha: We have just arrived.
Luffy appears, with Ruby in his arms.
Sonic: Ruby, no!
Pyrrha: What happened to him?
Luffy: That bastard of Blackbeard ...
Zoro: You will catch him on another occasion. Now let's go to that temple and restore that piece of the planet.
Sonic: Yes!
Little did they know that, above the temple, there was a solitary figure, watching them.
?: Interesting...
To be continue...
