Chapter 30: An Old Friend. Questions without Response!

Already in the temple, WBY tried to grab Devil Rose with all their might so that she wouldn't move, but they pushed it away effortlessly.

Weiss: Ruby, you have to rest!

Devil Rose: Nothing's wrong with me, I'm fine!

Sonic: Bup.

Sonic touches one of Devil Rose's burns, causing her to scream in pain and fall to the ground.

Devil Rose: Oooowwww, it hurts, it hurts!

Usopp: Hey, Sonic. That is not funny.

Nami angrily hits Sonic's head, leaving a bump on him.

Nami: Don't do that to her! Chopper, how is she?

Chopper: The worst thing is electrical burns. So if you stay still, you'll be cured sooner, you idiot!

Devil Rose: But...!

WA Zack: Ruby. Stay. Down. NOW.

Devil Rose: Y-Yes sir!

Zoro: It's still as scary as ever.

Sonic: Let's just put the Emerald in and get out of here, I´m hungry.

?: I'm afraid I can't let you do that yet.

Robin: This voice...!

Sanji: It can't be...

Brook: It's him!

DN Luffy: The bear type.

A huge shadow appears and reveals that he is a large and robust man who always carries a book in his hand, of unknown utility. His hat has bear ears. His jacket has a great design that looks like a reticule or target, like those on firearms. It is about the same size as Gecko Moria. His outward appearance makes him look like a bear.

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma," The Tyrant." "

Nami: Bartholomew Kuma!

Kuma: That's right.

Franky: But it's impossible...

Blake: Guys, who is it?

Chopper: He's the one responsible for our two-year separation and our savior.

Brook: Right. Without that man, right now we would not exist.

Jaune: Really?! But you guys are incredible...

Robin: He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the only one who has defeated us twice.

Both the Hunters and Sonic are shocked at this revelation. However, Zack and his friends had a calm expression.

Kamukura: I'm not surprised; they were rookies back then.

Nanami: And they still are. Do not forget.

Yang: Hey Franky, why do you say it's impossible for him to be here? I mean, he's not dead, he doesn't have those flames on his feet that Whitebeard had.

Franky: No. His fate was worse.

Blake: What?

Kuma: Indeed. I was turned into the original Pacifist. I am PX-0.

Pyrrha: Pacifist?

Kuma: In terms that young people understand; I became a human weapon.

JNPR and RWBY: WHAT?

Sonic: That bastards...

DN Luffy: Sonic...

Sonic: If the Government and those Tenryūbito accept that the people are their servants, then I will destroy them! What good are a government and gods that enslave others?!

Devil Rose: Sonic...

Nami: Heh. It's no wonder because Ruby-chan and Sonic-kun are Luffy's sister and brother.

Kuma: "Incredible, they really are like you, Dragon, Summer-san and Aleena-san." I appreciate your feelings; however, you don't have to worry about me. The Kuma you see is nothing more than a memory, a projection of the past that has acquired mass and form.

Sonic: But still...

Kuma: In any case, if you want to place that Emerald on the altar...

Kuma closes his book and takes off his gloves.

Kuma: ... you will have to defeat me.

Yang: Oh come on! We've had enough with Erenu, Crocodile, and the dark thing with the hammer.

Then Devil Rose uses her Semblance to stand in front of Kuma.

Yang: Not again...

Zack: I'll go with her.

DN Luffy: Be careful with him; it is very strong.

WA Zack: Ready?

Devil Rose: Am I not always?

Kuma: Let's get started...

Suddenly Kuma teleports right in front of Devil Rose.

Devil Rose: What...?

Kuma: Pad Ho.

Kuma repels the atmosphere, creating an impact of such force that it is capable of going through even steel. Devil Rose is sent to the wall.

WA Zack: Ruby! Okay, I'm done.

WA Zack tries to kick him that, however, he repels with his hand.

WA Zack: But what...?

Kuma opens his mouth to fire a laser beam, causing a huge explosion.

Kuma: ... Hmm?

WA Zack opens his eyes to see Devil Rose covering him with Crescent Rose and Lunar roseThorn wrapped in Haki.

Devil Rose: Are you okay?

WA Zack: Yeah...

Sonic: But what! Ruby... are you?

WA Zack begins to bleed from the nose when he sees Devil Rose with only some bags covering her intimate parts.

Devil Rose: Oh this? Sorry, the clothes are in pieces, so I had to cover myself with whatever. Zack...

WA Zack: I-I'm sorry! I'm fine now!

Kuma: An irregularity, but without alternatives. Tsuppari Pad Ho.

It is a more powerful version of the Pad Ho. Positioning himself as a sumo wrestler; Kuma launches several repelled air hits.

Devil Rose and WA Zack manage to dodge them, however because of the fight from before, they are doing it badly.

Devil Rose: Ah... Ah... Ah...

WA Zack: Damn...

Kuma: It seems that, as expected, you can't do anything.

Then Sonic and DN Luffy appear hitting the Warlord, sending him back a bit.

Sonic: Sorry for the delay.

DN Luffy: Ruby, go with Zack. We already take care of this.

Devil Rose: And miss the fun? No way.

WA Zack: Ruby, don't be reckless.

DN Luffy: Shishishi! Well, we can't change her mind, so...

Sonic: Sigh... Okay, but don't regret it!

Kuma teleports in front of Sonic, but he notices it and hits him before he knows it.

DN Luffy: Gomu-Gomu no Nightmare Storm!

DN Luffy hits Kuma many times, though...

Kuma: Puni.

Kuma takes the defensive stance using his pads to repel and counter DN Luffy's attacks.

DN Luffy: You bastard!

Kuma stops and turns to leave.

Sonic: What the hell...

Kuma: Farewell.

Devil Rose: Are you leaving yet?

Kuma: Like I said before, I'm just a memory, Ruby D. Rose.

Devil Rose: Calling me like that again! I am...!

Kuma: The daughter of Summer D. Rose.

Weiss: How did he...

Yang: How do you know Ruby's mother's name?

Kuma: I'm not the one to say it, but let's say that Summer-san and Aleena-san are acquaintances of Dragon.

DN Luffy: From my father?

Kuma: The rest ask the man of the desert.

Kuma disappears, without first smiling at the three heroes.

DN Luffy: Bear guy...

Sonic: Anyway, let's put the Emerald and let's go.

Devil Rose stood and there was only one question on her mind:

Devil Rose: "Mom, what did you do on the Grand Line?"
