Chapter. 9: Secrets Revealed! The truth about RWBY and the Straw Hats!
Mazuri (Day) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
After feeling the shaking, the rest of the Straw Hats and Beacon hunters were in town, with a furious Yang and an annoying Nora with bulky bandages.
Yang: That filthy bearded man ...!
Nora: The next time I see you, I will break your legs and face!
Chopper: Please don't move! The wounds will open if you get up!
Nami and Ren bring water to everyone.
Jimbei: Oh, thanks, Nami. And you, Ren-kun.
Ren: It's the least after you helped Nora.
Meanwhile, Weiss and Blake were separated from the rest, as if they wanted to escape. However, Sanji arrives with dishes that smell wonderful.
Sanji: Alright make room! The locals have shown me some local dishes as a reward for helping them. Weiss-swan, Blake-swan, here you are with all my love!
Weiss: Idiot ...
Blake: Thanks...
Robin watches them very concerned.
Robin: Since Dr. Eggman and Blackbeard said those things about them, they have been very distant. I'm worried.
Usopp: I'm with Robin... huh? It's Luffy and the others!
His Requiem - One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 OST
Everyone heads to Sonic's group, Luffy, Zoro, Pyrrha, and Chip head to the town of Mazuri, with Tails leading Ruby. Yang sees his sister almost dead and runs immediately to catch her.
Tails: W-Watch out!
Yang grabs his sister, strokes her head, and lunges at Luffy and Sonic.
Weiss: Yang!
Yang: You two! What happened to my sister!?
Luffy: Blackbeard caught us off guard and she took a beating.
Sonic: And when we were in the temple, Mihawk appeared and fought against Ella and Pyrrha.
Straw Hats: WHAT, HAWK-EYE WAS HERE?
Nora: Who is it?
Robin: One of the Seven Warriors of the Sea and the best swordsman in our world.
Jaune: Really?
Pyrrha: Y-Yes...
Pyrrha slowly loses her balance and when she falls, she is caught by Jaune, who stares in horror at her friend's severed chest.
Jaune: W-Who has done this to you?
Zoro: Hawk-Eye, but if he had wanted to, he would have killed them.
The Beacon hunters were in shock; however, Yang grabbed both heroes, furious.
Yang: I thought you cared about my sister!
Luffy: Of course I do!
Sonic: She is a very precious friend to us!
Yang: Bullshit! You both went for those two and because of you she's almost dead!
Sonic: Don't you dare say we don't care!
Yang: It's the truth! You have no idea what it's like to have to take care of someone!
Luffy: What did you say ?! If you say things you don't know again, I'll kick your ass!
Yang: Come on!
Sanji: Luffy, don't even think about it!
Tails: Sonic please don't do it!
Yang: Neither of you know what it is to lose someone!
Luffy, at that moment, sees images of someone similar in age to his, receiving a fist of fire, protecting them with his body. Sonic instead sees several members of his family, turning into robots and two hedgehogs, being shot dead.
Luffy clenches his fists and stretches one of them wrapped in Haki.
Luffy: UUUAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Luffy catches Yang off guard, hitting her in the face with all his might.
WB: Yang!
Sanji: Damn Luffy!
Jinbei: Luffy-kun!
Sonic hits both, with a Homing Attack.
Luffy: You will be...!
Yang: You...
Sonic: Shut up!
?: ROOM!
When the three are going to hit each other, a dome appears and a rock comes between them.
Robin: That ability...!

?: If you have finished fighting among yourselves, I have a patient.
Everyone turns to look at a young man of average height, slim build, and dark complexion. Regarding his facial features, the expression on his face is characterized by penetrating gray eyes with quite marked dark circles under the grooves, and a grimace on the lips that usually outlines a slight smile. He has perennial black hair covered by a typical fur hat from the northern lands, as well as wearing sideburns and goatee. He has multiple tattoos of black color and tribal style visible on his arms and hands, the most characteristic being that of his left hand, where he has a letter tattooed in black on each of his fingers, so that they all form when reading the word " DEATH ". He also wears jeans with strange marks on the knee and ankle areas (like those on his hat), and pointy black shoes. He also has a pair of small hoop earrings on each ear. He wears a long dark coat, with his pirate band insignia at the bottom right and on the right sleeve of the coat. His name is Trafalgar Law, "The Surgeon of Death."
Nami: Law!
Luffy: Tarao! Why you are here?!
Law: I met the "White Hunter" after my crew and I entered a portal. Because of what is happening, this girl is in danger.
Yang: Yes, because of those two!
Sonic and Luffy: Shut up, at least we were with her, not like someone I know!
Yang: What did you say?!
Law: Straw Hat, if you really care that much, come here and help me get her to my submarine!
Blake: Why should we trust you?
Law: I'm a doctor.
Jaune: Really? Thank you!
Law: Don't give them to me until I've saved her! Tony, I will need your help, hurry!
Chopper: Got it! Pyrrha, you need treatment too!
Pyrrha: Okay!
Luffy carries Ruby to the Sunny and the Ocean Tornado and next to him is Law's submarine, the Polar Tang. At night, the three ships sailed for Spagonia to inform the Professor and Smoker; while they are still pending Ruby. Sonic, Luffy and Yang do not speak and WB does not know what to do with their secrets and the status of their leader.
Suddenly, Law and Chopper emerge from inside their submarine and leap into the Ocean Tornado, causing the Beacon and Straw Hats hunters to reunite.
Law: We have good news: it is stable.
Chopper: And as incredible as it seemed, tomorrow she will be fully recovered.
A ripple of relief spreads through everyone, even Sanji and Brook cry comically.
Brook: Thank goodness Ruby-san is safe! I am so happy that tears are coming out! Although I ... I can't cry! Yohohoho!
Sanji: Shut up, bunch of bones! My Ruby-swan is safe and that's what matters!
Law: Not entirely. Can anyone tell me what happened to transform it?
Weiss: Don't worry; that happens to him every night.
Blake: Could it be that she is recovering sooner?
Chopper: It could be...
Law: Basically it's your will to get ahead.
Sonic, Luffy and Yang breathe relief, and look at each other, embarrassed.
Janue: How is Pyrrha?
Chopper: Fortunately, the most serious thing was the stab in the shoulder.
Pyrrha: Jaune... Guys...
Pyrrha comes out, bandaged all over her torso and accompanied by a bear with white fur and dressed in an orange jumpsuit. Her name is Bepo, a navigator for the Pirates of Heart.
Bepo: Be very careful and pay attention to everything the captain and his friend tell you.
Pyrrha: Thank you, Bepo.
JNR runs to hug her friend, calming down the tension from before.
Zoro: Well, it's about time you told us things, right?
Persona 4 I'll face myself - 2nd Version (OST)
Nora: Hey, you also owe us an explanation!
Nami: It is true.
The Straw Hats look at each other, nodding.
Nami: Very well, we will tell you what you want.
Nora: Okay, who are those "Seven Warriors of the Sea"?
Zoro: There are seven powerful pirates allied to the World Government, which gives them a "pardon" for all their crimes.
Blake: You mean ... what could they do what they want?
Robin: Yes and no. In exchange for all this, when they are needed they must render their services, their immense power and renown to work hand in hand with the government.
Yang: Wow, often they have a system set up in the World Government.
Robin: It was done this way to keep the balance between The Three Great Powers: The Navy, The Seven Warriors of the Sea and The Four Emperors.
Zoro: These are the personification of what it is to be a monster.
Nora: What did you say?
Jimbei: Let me explain it, they are the four most notable and powerful pirate captains in the world, although they are neither allies nor enemies among them, preferring to go it alone in most cases. These four people live in the second part of the Grand Line (known as the "New World"), exercising impressive control over numerous pirate crews and islands. I myself worked for one of them.
Jaune: Really?
Jimbei: Yes, and it was an ordeal.
Blake: How scary.
Nami: Blackbeard is one of them.
Beacon Hunters, Sonic and Tails: WHAT!?
Usopp: Yes, after killing his captain and stealing his ability.
Sonic: Ah, the trembling I felt when fighting Eggman! Is that the power you stole?
Luffy: Yes.
Everyone turned to Luffy who had that serious face that even scared.
Yang: Luffy...
Zoro: Well we have already told you part of us; now it's your turn.
Blake gulps and she musters up the courage.
Blake: It's true, I was a terrorist.
She takes off her bow and reveals her cat ears.
Blake: I am a Faun. In my world, the Fauns have been discriminated against since I can remember. That's when I joined the White Fang. At first, we demonstrated peacefully, yearning to be recognized as equals. But we went on to attack indiscriminately until doing terrorist acts. I... managed to flee in time.
Weiss: And all because of my family.
Everyone turns to Weiss, who made tremendous efforts to maintain his emotions.
Weiss: You see, my grandfather, Nicholas Schnee founded COUSDE, which is a Dust company.
Nami: Ruby told me they were my value.
Weiss: "Wow, she found out in the end ... he." Anyway, after his father died, he took what little he inherited and used it to gather a mining team. I oversee expeditions from Dust and around the world. Thanks to him, I build a trusted reputation of our family.
Franky: Ow, Weiss, your grandfather must have been a man among men!
Weiss smiles at Franky, however, his eyes darken.
Weiss: Those happy days ended when my father, Jacques Gelé, entered the family.
Everyone is silent, while Sonic has his eyes closed and Luffy's sight was black.
Weiss: My grandfather's health was deteriorating back then all the time in the mines. Somehow, she managed to convince him that he was the right man to take over. Under his leadership, I employ morally questionable business techniques. He drove out Dust's small shops even if they weren't a threat to him.
The Straw Hats listened in awe to Weiss's sad family story.
Weiss: My father exploited the less fortunate of Mantle and other kingdoms to work in the Dust mines. It is a dangerous occupation that often ends in injury ... or accidental death.
Law clenches his fists, remembering Doflamingo and at the same time, sympathetic to Weiss, just like Sanji for his chidhood with Germa 66.
Chopper: That man ... What he does is unforgivable!
Weiss: You fall short. Most of the victims were Faun, which led to my family becoming their number one public enemy.
Blake grabs her hand, while smiling at her friend.
Weiss: The worst thing is that it was very abusive with my brothers and with me.
Nami covers her hands with her mouth.
Weiss: He only married my mother by the family name. He said it on my tenth birthday. Then my mother couldn't take it anymore and started drinking. At the time I left for Beacon, I didn't see her without a drink in hand.
Everyone was furious with the monster of Weiss's father and Blake's past.
Robin: No matter what world we are in, there will always be people like the Tenryūbito.
So Luffy is furious.
One Piece OST - Franky Theme.
Luffy: UUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
He runs up to Weiss and Blake and punches them both in the face with his punch. Everyone is very surprised, Yang, for his part, becomes enraged activating his appearance.
Yang: Luffy, you will be...!
Sonic runs up to the three of them and kicks them.
Tails: Sonic, not you too!
Sanji: Damn idiots! I will take you down!
Weiss: What was that for!
Blake: We have told you about our suffering, which led me to flee once from my friends...
So Blake, shed some tears.
Blake: ...and you hit me on top!
Then Luffy picks them up and hugs them, looking them in the eye.
Luffy: Then you don't have any!
The two are shocked as Luffy continues talking.
Luffy: If your father treats you so badly, then fight! You don't have to continue being his daughter! And Blake, getting the Fauns to have peace is possible! Jimbei and the others are the proof!
The two hit Luffy by pulling him back.
Weiss: It's easy for you to say, you are a pirate!
Blake: Not to mention that you're not from our world!
Both: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH!
Luffy: Right, but if I had been in your world, I would have gone to help you without hesitation! And if you ever need me, I'll run to help you! YOU ARE YOU; NO ONE CAN CONTROL YOUR DREAMS!
The two cover their mouths, embarrassed by what Luffy was trying to do: help and protect them.
Sonic approaches, with his characteristic smile.
Sonic: Although I would have been so aggressive, I am with Luffy. I'm also here to protect you, both of you.
Sonic grabs Weiis and hugs her; and Luffy does the same with Blake.
Luffy: Okay, you can cry.
Sonic: All you want.
The two begin to cry inconsolably, venting their past. As everyone smiles, impressing the Beacon Hunters and Tails.
Tails: Wow.
Ren: Now I think I'm the captain.
Nora: I told you!
Pyrrha: Luffy is someone unique.
Jimbei: Right?
After a while, the two move away, relieved.
Weiss: Thank you both.
Blake: Same thing.
They both smile, while Luffy laughs.
Luffy: Shishishi! We are friends, right?
Sonic: Hey, nice smile! You should smile more.
They both blush as they return to the Ships.
To be continue...
