Chapter 22: The power of ice! A monstrous love!
After the Destroyer's appearance, our heroes head to the temple, some with considerable anger.
Nora: As soon as I catch him, I will break his legs and crush his face!
Yang: I swear to you, as soon as he comes, he wishes he hadn't been born!
Sanji: Damn ... How could I have let Big Mom kidnap Nami-swan and Penny-chan?!
Ren: Let's calm down a bit, okay?
Jimbei: Ren-san is right, we are not thinking clearly right now.
While Sonic was thinking.
Sonic: "That guy ... He had my techniques, those of Luffy, Sanji and Zoro and even the Semblance of my sister and his friends. Besides, his Haoshoku Haki is incredibly strong. Who are you, Destroyer?"
DN Luffy: Hey guys...
Robin: Is something wrong, Captain?
DN Luffy: Something's wrong with Ruby.
DN Luffy points to Devil Rose, who is, with red skin and sweating.
Devil Rose: Ugh ... He, he, he, he...
Weiss: R-Ruby ...?
Yang: Little sister, a-are you w-well?
Blake: It doesn't matter how many times I see her like this: it's scarier than the last time.
Devil Rose: I have fallen in love.
Everyone, expect Luffy, drops his jaw to the ground.
Yang: W-what...?
Sonic: You just...
Weiss: ... say that...
Blake: ... you are...
Sonic and WBY: IN LOVE?!
Devil Rose nods sweetly, while DN Luffy laughs. Yang wraps his fist in Haki and hits him sending him against a pillar.
DN Luffy: Ouch! And what happens to you?
Yang: How can you laugh at such a situation?! And YOU are one of our sworn brothers?!
Sonic: Yang is right. You can't fall in love with someone you've only seen twice. And on top we haven't seen his face!
Devil Rose: Yeah, well, maybe you're right, but ... he doesn't strike me as a bad guy.
Jaune: He has left us KO with the Haoshoku Haki!
Pyrrha: I am with Jaune. Ruby, I'm sorry, but ...
Devil Rose gets angry and puffs out her cheeks.
Devil Rose: Okay, I got it! You don't want me to be happy!
Weiss: N-Not that! You are just a girl!
Suddenly, the Dark Moray appears again, startling everyone.
Jaune: Oh come on!
Ren: Any suggestions?
Just as the Dark Moray try to attack our heroes, a voice is heard.
?: Arara, are you always so noisy? So there is no one who can take a nap...
Robin panics when she recognizes the voice.
Robin: Is he here too?
Blake: To make Robin look like this...
?: Ice Age.
A wave of ice hits the creature, freezing the entire temple except the pedestal and our heroes.
Nora: Wow.
Ren: So much power...
Blake: This is amazing...
Nami: This power...!
Sanji: Oh no...
Zoro: Prepare yourselves.
DN Luffy: Hey, I know you're here! Get out right now.
Someone comes out from behind the pedestal and is a man of great stature; somewhat lower than that of Doflamingo. He is slim and muscular, with curly black hair and tanned skin. He has a prominent nose and thick lips. He also has a slight knob and a mustache. As for her dress, she wears a blue headscarf, a white long-sleeved V-neck T-shirt, black pants, gray boots, and a purple glove in her right hand. Above all, a green raincoat on his shoulders. His eyes are hidden under round amber glasses and he usually travels with a yellow and brown backpack on his left shoulder. Robin falls to his knees upon seeing him.
?: Well, let's meet again, Nico Robin.
"Former Admiral of the Navy, Kuzan (Aokiji)"
Kuzan: I see that you already know the Straw Hat, trainee hunters of Remnant.
Kuzan lies down in front of them.
Kuzan: With your permission...
Yang: But what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be the guardian of this temple?
Kuzan: Hey, take it easy. There's no need to get hostile, brothers and sisters... I was enjoying the good weather and taking a walk under the night sky. In short, I have no interest in fighting with you, you can rest easy.
Weiss: Robin, who is it?
Robin: This man was once one of the most powerful men in the Navy: Former Admiral Aokiji.
Beacon Hunters, Sonic and Chip: An Admiral?!
Chip: How many admirals exist, Robin?
Robin: There are only three in our world. The only one above them is the Fleet Admiral...
DN Luffy: Akainu.
Everyone turns to DN Luffy, who had such a serious look that he didn't hit anything.
Kuzan: I understand very well: with that jerk in command, the Navy is doing very badly.
Kuzan then notices DN Luffy.
Kuzan: Straw Hat, what happened to you? Why do you have that shape?
Nami: It's a long story...
Kuzan fixes his gaze on Devil Rose, especially his silver eyes, and is very surprised.
Kuzan: You are...
Devil Rose: Hmm, is something wrong?
Kuzan: I-It doesn't matter... I thought better of it: I will fight against you.
Everyone: Didn't you say you weren't going to fight?!
Kuzan: Let's say someone has made me think things over.
Weiss: Then you will fight with me.
Weiss stands before him, with his rapier, ready to fight.
Kuzan: Oi, oi, are you sure, Miss Schnee?
Weiss: So you know my last name...
Kuzan: And also about the idiot of your father. I hope you are not as stupid as him.
Weiss: Never.

Kuzan: My, my... Anyway, ready?
Weiss: Anytime.
Kuzan uses his icy breath to produce a sharp, jagged blade of ice.
Kuzan: Ice Saber. I did not want this, but what is going to be done...
Kuzan with a great speed runs to Weiss and tries to cut her, although she blocks him, with great difficulty. Immediately afterwards, Weiss activates his White Leg Style and kicks him, only to see that he compose himself.
Weiss: Logia!
Kuzan: That's right, I ate a Devil Fruit. The Hie-Hie Fruit.
Weiss: Then I'll have to be serious. Jambe Blanche: Tornade de Crème Glacée.
Weiss begins to spin, kicking Kuzan at high speed, creating a freezing tornado in his legs. Kuzan raises an ice pick and then, four more, however, Weiss tears them apart with Myrtenaster, wrapped in Haki.
Kuzan: Arara... I see I shouldn't underestimate you. Ice Pick.
Kuzan throws several ice darts at Weiss, who returns them with his kicks. Weiss approaches the ex-marine and stabs him in the right shoulder. Kuzan begins to bleed, as he kicks Weiss back. She then sees some ice blocks and has an idea.
Weiss: Jambe Blanche: Rêves de Glace.
Weiss hits the ice blocks, smashing them and turning into ice arrows.
Kuzan: Ice Block: Partisan.
Kuzan forms ice pikes by solidifying the moisture in the air around him and then launches them against Weiss' attack, colliding and forming a cloud of ice dust.
The two clash their swords again. Weiss begins to tire, while Kuzan presses his attack.
Kuzan: Let's get this over with. Ice Time.
Kuzan touches Weiss and freezes her making her an ice statue. RBY is shocked as everyone else prepares to fight. However, a certain leader was not expected.
Sonic: Ruby, no!
Devil Rose: Leave my friend, you bastard!
However, Kuzan grabs her by the leg and freezes her.
Devil Rose: Arrrrrggggghhhh!
Kuzan prepares to smash the Weiss statue, with everyone horrified...
... just to kick a mound of ice.
Kuzan: Well, if you train, next time you will do much better. Oi, the raccoon.
Chopper: I'm not a raccoon!
Kuzan: Oh sorry, it's true. Well, you know what to do...
?: Make the ice melt quickly and carefully, so she can return to normal without any long-term repercussions.
Then Nami, Penny and Tails appear, accompanied by the Destroyer and three other teenagers.
Yang: You!
Pyrrha: What are you doing...? Penny!
Sonic: Tails, you're fine!
Sonic runs to hug his little brother.
Sonic: I was so worried!
Sanji: Nami-swan, you are safe!
Nami: Yes, yes. Thanks to him and his friends.
Nami points to the Destroyer, who waves. Devil Rose sees him and his eyes look like hearts. Run up to him, throwing him.
Devil Rose: It's you!
Destroyer (?): Aww.
Devil Rose: Oops, sorry!
Destroyer (?): Nothing, don't worry.
Devil Rose: Thanks for saving my friends.
Devil Rose smiles mischievously and grabs the Destroyer by the waist.
Devil Rose: You are the first boy who is not afraid of me and has the will to make me feel so strong, my sweet Destroyer.
Devil Rose leans in and deeply kisses the Destroyer, who was hugely blushing. Weiss's eyes were wide, Blake blushed at the memory of her "Ninjas of Love" books, and Yang went white.
Nora: Wow.
Ren: I wonder how Ruby would react for the day...
Pyrrha: H-Heavens... I never imagined that Ruby was so daring... "Maybe I should do the same with Jaune."
Nidai: Hey, boss! Fail now!
Pekoyama: Nidai is right, since you first saw her; you haven't stopped talking about her.
The Destroyer, listening to his friends and his heart, corresponds to Devil Rose and kisses her deeply with his tongue inside her and breaks the kiss with a silly look. Sonic drops his jaw, while Yang turns white and breaks herself anime style.
Devil Rose: Wow, you are a good kisser.
Destroyer: The truth is that this is my first kiss, not bad, huh?
Devil Rose: Hehe, I'm glad you enjoy, it is true that you are very afraid. With me, I used to be with girls, but I guess being with a sexy man like you makes it more wonderful for me. You're my boyfriend from up there. "
Yang wakes up surprised to hear him and turned white to freeze like a statue.
Kuran: Arara... It didn't even take me to freeze her.
The Destroyer laughs a little and shrugs.
Destroyer: Good for me, I would love to meet you and your normal form, my devilish queen, but I still have work to do, but don't worry: we'll see you soon.
Tails: Wow ... That really is declaring.
Jaune: Tell me.
The Destroyer creates a red portal and his friends crawl through it, until Devil Rose speaks to him.
Devil Rose: Wait, before you go, would you mind giving me your name, sweetie?
Destroyer: Zack ... Zack Orion.
Devil Rose laughs and licks her lips.
Devil Rose: I like that name, okay, I'll see it later my Zacky Honey.
Devil Rose falls to her knees, happy.
Sonic: Ruby...
Devil Rose: Is this... love?
Robin: Ara. It is true that she is in love.
Tails: Oh, man...
Penny sees Yang, petrified.
Penny: Yang, are you okay?
Weiss punches her a little softly and she breaks again anime style.
Weiss: I think she's going to need some time to assimilate it, poor thing.
Blake: Ruby is going to give her something when she is normal again.
Sonic and Chip put the fourth emerald on the pedestal, revealing a cyan blue color and the power of ice.
DN Luffy: Let's go back to Sunny, I'm sleepy.
Nami: I'm with him for once.
This night has been crazy. Everyone: I agree.
Everyone started to head back towards the port, while DN Luffy grabbed Devil Rose and Yang by one leg and dragged them along.
Zoro: Idiot, don't take them by the legs!
DN Luffy: But they don't move.
Jimbei: I recommend that you rest tonight, in the morning I will head to Spagonia.
While on a ship ...
Zack and his friends appear and a group of pirates greets them. However, Asahina looks at Zack.

Zack: What?
Asahina: You like that girl.
Zack blushes.
Zack: S-Shut up!
Nidai: Ha ha, you got like a tomato! You will see when others find out!
Zack: You won't dare!
Pekoyama: You were so cute...
Zack: You are...! I hate you!
To be continue...
