A/N: So this is a late update to find a way for this chapter to start. So I came to the conclusion of making it after the defeat of Hannybal enjoy.

"Luffy we should probably get going now"said Jerome

"Yeah we have to save Ace" responed Luffy.

Luna and Tegami walked up to them. "Um Jerome do you or Luffy need any injuries treated" Luna asked.

"No Luna we'er good" answered Jerome

"Too bad I wanted to take out the vice warden" said Tegami "But I guess I can have a shot at some big dog's later"

Crash then appeared between the two. "Jerome do you feel that"

Jerome looked over to the stair's the went further up. It was something coming and fast. It felt like darkness and it was cold. Cold something that did not agree well with Jerome.

"What is it what's coming" asked Kat. She tried to run over by them but Dante grabed her.

"Kat right now I think it's best you stay back" he told her.

Coming closer and closer until it finally made it's way passed the unconcios guard's. They were right it was darkness itself.

"Zehahaha" came a laugh. Forming out of the darkness was no other then the man that caused all this. Not only the capture of Ace but also the cause of the upcoming war. He was Blackbeard along with his devilish crew.

"Zehahaha it look's like everyone is already out the game" He then turned his look to Luffy.

"Well look who it is straw hat. You know you should be thanking your brother"

Luffy looked at him with full agression. He had met this man before. But he hadn't known who he was. But now he did.

Blackbeard then turned his gaze to Jerome. He didn't know him but he felt like he did. "So kid who the heck are you"

Anger, agression, sadness these are the words that can describe how Jerome felt. He almost never thought he would ever see this man again. The fact he said he didn't remember him only made everthing grow.

The air around him it changed. It was growing in tempature. It was stinging.

"What the heck is going on the air it's stinging" said Tegami.

"Jerome what's wrong" asked Luna

Jerome then fell to the ground. His entire appearence was changing. His blue fire started to cover his body. Even with that you could blankly see his skin changed to scals.

"Back away get away from me now" said Jerome in a diffrent tone of voice.

"I won't leave you like this" said Luna. Afterwards Tegami grabed her and moved both of them further away from the scene.

"Look kid me and you should back away to" said Crash

"I can't just leave him like this" said Luffy

"Look something's about to go down we have to move"

The blue flame's then doubled in size.

"Listen straw hat you have to beleive me when I say he will be fine"

Luffy didn't know what to do. Even if he had just met him today he still found him as a brother. He didn't want to leave him like this not his brother. Just like he wasn't going to leave Ace.

"I won't go" Luffy answered.

That's when even through the flames Luffy saw Jerome's eye's his voice was faint but he could still hear it. "Luffy please go"

With those words said Luffy had to listen. If he was still somehow okay and in control of what was happening he decided to step back.

Now with everyone out of harm's way Jerome could unleash his real power. He didn't want to do this but he had no choice. Despite what might happen afterwards he had to. He had to avenge her. He had to avenge his mother.

(Flashback)

It was usually a nice sunny island. It did not live up to its name Dusk Ball. Only today could that name be relevant. For today it was covered in dark clouds but no rain.

On this island at a meadow Is a little boy and a woman. They are mother and son they both share love with each other that is very great. The bond between these two could be unbreakable. This two are no other than a 6 year old Jerome and his mother Portgazs D. Rouge.

"Mom look I got you some flower's" said Jerome handing his mother some lily's.

"Thank you love they are buetiful" said Rouge.

"Hey mom when will dad come back"

"Be patient he called me earlier telling me he should come for you in a week"

"Okay" Jerome then looked at his mother ready to ask her a question he had be longing to ask.

"Mom I want a brother"

Rouge then tensed up hearing the question. She wanted to tell her son about him for so long but he was still young and would not be able to process it.

"Maybe will see in the future"

"Okay but... mom why do you and dad hate each other"

This was something else she didn't want to answer but she could at least tell her son something. "Jerome it's notthat we hate each other it's only the fact that we don't agree on something's"

"Oh I guess that sounds right"

"But Jerome no matter what you hear me and your father love you with all are heart"

"Thank's I love you to" Jerome then leaned in and shared a hug with his mother.

Later that day.

"Jerome it's late we should go" said Rouge

"Okay"

That's when they both felt a dark presence aproaching them.

"Zehahaha" laughed the man that stood before them. "So Rouge long time no see. I have been looking for you"

"Teach why are you here" asked Rouge

"You know the answer to that. You the wife of the pirate king himself is a serious theart to my plan."

"And want plan is that"

"You shouldn't worry about that since you're going to die"

Rouge turned to her son. She didn't want him getting involved in this. She knew if he stayed he could really get hurt or worst killed.

"Jerome I want you to go back to the village and stay there okay. I will be back

"No I won't I can't let you stay here with him" said Jerome

"Thing's will be fine I promise"

"No they won't. Do you think i'm stupid I know something's wrong" He shshouted

"You just have to listen to me and do as I say"

"No I refuse I can't just leave you"

Rouge was then down to her last resort. "Jerome i'm sorry"

Rouge then knocked out Jerome from the back of the head. Laying him down she turned to Teach.

"So shall we get started"

"Zehahaha I thought you would never ask"

The two ran towards each other. Two D's where about to clash.

( Sometime after the fight)

Jerome had woken up. The first thing he noticed it was queit. The second thing was that there was blood on his face but he wasn't bleeding. The third thing was the body of his mother on the ground.

"Mom" he yelled as he ran over to her. What he saw scared him for life. Her body covered in blood. Everywhere was blood.

"Mom wake up" he started to shake her body. But she wouldn't wake up. All their was is a smile on her face.

"Mom wake up" he shouted. He couldn't beleive it no he wouldn't accept it. His mother couldn't be dead.

"Someone HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!can't anyone hear me I said HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP me please" Jerome then cried on his mother's dead corspe.

It was true she was dead. That man had tooken his mother away from him and changed his life for the worse.

(End of flashback)

The fire around Jerome cleared up. He had a completly diffrent appearence. His scan replaced with scale's. Most of his body covered in his own flames. His eye's are now blue. The most off thing about him is he now has a pair of dragon wings also set aflame.

"Teach burn in hell" is what he said "Dragon pulse" Jerome then fired a powerful wave of energy out his mouth. He was ready to kill the man that took his mother.
