Hiccup and the others were still battling against Kuma, who began blasting them with beams of light from his mouth. He then saw Hiccup flying out of the smoke, chased after him and continued to blast him.

However, Hiccup could dodge the attacks in his Beta Mode, but Kuma was relentless, and it was wearing him out.

"Man, this guy is on real," said Eret.

"He could shoot those beams from his hands and mouth," said Snotlout.

"I truly have never seen anything like this before," said Skull.

Kuma then raised his palm towards him and prepared to fire at them.

"Aww, here it comes again! Crap!"

In truth, he was aiming at Hiccup, who, unfortunately, was directly behind them. So when he took off, the being continued after them, barely giving them time to jump out of the way. They quickly ran, dotting the following bubble until they hid behind some ruins.

"Son of a…" Eret panted. "What the hell is he shooting us with anyway?"

"They're beams, obviously!" Snotlout snapped.

"That would be amazing if it were true, but that tech doesn't even exist," said Eret.

"Clearly, that's not the case at or being blasted by it," said Skull. "It would seem as if the Marines have become far more advanced technologically over these past decades."

Then there was another explosion.

Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless and Ragnar were now charging at Kuma, who continued to blast them.

"Three Sword Style: 600 Calibre Phoenix!" Toothless yelled, swinging all three swords.

"Neo Dragon Fist!" Hiccup yelled, raising his fist.

"Valkyrie Storm!" Astrid yelled, swinging her battleaxe.

"Diablo Blaze Tornado!" Ragnar yelled, swinging a red hot foot.

The fall of them struck Kuma with their powerful attacks, putting everything they had in them. They eventually managed to overpower Kuma, sending him flying, but they have themselves out.

"Yes, way to go! They took him down!" Fishlegs cheered.

"That was awesome!" Tuffnut yelled.

"Nice one!" Ruffnut cried.

"Those four are just too awesome," said Chopper.

"Don't forget he is one of the Warlords," Heather reminded them. "It will take a lot more than that to beat him, and judging by their faces, they know that too."

"So he's different now?" Hiccup asked as he reverted back to human form. "Maybe he's a twin or something."

"It's possible, but that's a scary thought," said Ragnar.

"They do look the same, but they're different," Toothless noted. "The real one would have teleported to dodge our attacks, and he can use that shockwave attack. He doesn't have those paws either."

"He hasn't said a word since he confronted us," said Astrid. "The Kuma we met may not have been a chatterbox, but he was in a mute either."

"Either way, he is strong as is, and what's worse, the real one might be after us as well," said Ragnar.

They then watched as Kuma got back up; the combined attack had torn the shirt on his right shoulder, revealing his mechanical components.


At Grove 24, Urogue, Drake and Hawkins had another one of these Kuma to contend with, as well as Admiral Kia.

"Well done, you gave me quite a beating," said Urogue. "But I'm not just big, and now, I'm much stronger too! Retribution!"

He swung his massive fist, striking Kuma in the chest, and continued his assault. It looked like he was overpowering Kuma and finally managed to punch in towards the building.

"I bet you felt that one, didn't you?" said Urogue.

"The Mad Monk Urogue may have escaped death countless times before reaching this place, but no matter how strong he grows, he cannot escape his fate," said Hawkins.

Then suddenly, a beam shot out from the dust, and it went straight through Urogue's left shoulder.

"It burns!" he cried as he toppled over.

Kuma was now back on his feet and went to the fallen monk.

"That was Kia's laser," Drake gasped. 'So he recreated Kia's attacks while using Kuma Bartholomew's body? Damn that Vegapunk. I had no idea the Pacifista technology had advanced so quickly.'

He then turned his eyes to Kia, who merely smiled.

Another group of pirates was still watching the battle.

"It's one hell of a show; you've got to admit that."

"Indeed, but a Warlord and Admiral friend, not even three Pirates with bounties over a hundred million, can handle that."

Urouge sat up, clutching his shoulder.

"Is that Rear Admiral Drake?" Kia asked, looking at Drake. "Sorry, former Rear Admiral, not here for your old job back, I take it? Or perhaps you would like to test the Pacifista. I'm afraid your inside knowledge will only make you despair all the greater."

Hawkins looked at Drake curiously, wondering what he was talking about.

"Also, I suggest you little chickeys exercise a level of caution," Kia advised. "After all, you have me to contend with, too."

The Pacifista was now charging at Drake, who turned to face it. Then, just as it swung its fist, Drake transformed into a Tyrannosaurus rex and grabbed his arm with his claw. He now stood taller than the Pacifista with razor-sharp fangs.

"Oh damn, this fight just delivers one crazy thing after another," said Apoo. "It's a rare ancient zoan type! I've never seen one before!"

Drake then bit down on the Pacifista and clenched his jaw shut as firmly as he could. Sadly, this did not stop the Pacifista from raising its palm towards him and firing a shot; he was too close to dodge it.

He roared in pain, releasing the Pacifista, then transformed back to his human form. He instantly placed his hand over his waist, where there was a hole due to the beam.

He couldn't help but smile as he saw blood trickling from the Pacifista's face. "Imagine that… you bleed red blood too, just like the rest of us. I'm surprised."

"A truly rare site," said Urouge, looking at Drake. "I'm speechless."

"As I was just saying, you have to be content with me, too," said Kia.

No sooner had Urouge turned his head than he was met with a powerful light-speed kick from Kia, which was so powerful he was sent crashing into several buildings.

Kia then turned to Hawkins and suddenly saw strands of straw covering his body, and he began to grow in size. He was now just as tall as Urouge, resembling the living scarecrow with nails wrapped around his fingers.

"Well, ain't that something," said Kia, undaunted. "You Supernovas are a strained bunch. Every one of you turns into some scary monster."

"Demon Face!" said Hawkins.

He swung his nail claws at Kia but completely vanished into thin air.

"He's gone," he said.

Kia reappeared directly before him, pointing to his fingers as his eyes. Certainly, they began to glow brightly, blinding everybody, especially Hawkins.

"My eyes!" he cried.

"Captain Hawkins, run! Get out of there!"

"I-I can't see," said Hawkins, barely able to see Kia before him.

Kia fired a beam straight through his chest and kept firing them constantly. "I don't know what your power is, but I do know you have a physical form. It doesn't seem like you're a Logia type."

Then suddenly, more straw dolls exited from Hawkins' body, all with holes somewhere on their body.

"Captain Hawkins!"

"He doesn't have any more voodoo dolls to protect him! He can't take any more of this!"

"Looks like you're the first to go," said Kia as he prepared you a final blow. He then raised his leg, which began to glow brightly. "You did well to make your journey all this way, and for that, you have my compliments."

Then, just before he was about to strike Hawkins, they suddenly heard music. Everyone's eyes turned to see Apoo standing on the rooftop, playing music with his entire body. He was treating every single part of his body like a musical instrument.

Who was banging his hands on his chest like drums, pressing down on his teeth like a keyboard, blowing through his fingers like a horn and pressing his hand on top of his head like cymbals.

"Who might this be, and what is he doing?" Kia asked.

"So he's the one. He's the Sea Roar," said Drake.

Kia just looked confused, and suddenly, his hand was sliced off.

"What is this all about?" he asked, not looking too concerned that his hand was just cut off.

Apoo then banged his hand on his chest, and suddenly, an explosion erupted around Kia's chest. Kia suddenly found himself falling as his upper torso had been cut in two, though he didn't look too concerned.

"Haha, gotta!" Apoo smiled. "Though knowing you Navy Admirals, you'd probably be right back up in a second. Glad I hung around for a bit; this was a sight to see. I guess it's time for me to scrap. Peace out."

He then ran off, jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

Kia was surprised by what had just happened. "How terrible."

Then his legs got up on their own, still smoking from where the explosion happened. Kia's body and severed arm then turned to light and flowed back into his legs. Within moments, he had fully regenerated without a single scratch on him.

"That was quite the shock," he admitted and then looked at Apoo, who was still running for it. "I'll use the Light Mirror."

He then placed his hands together and fired a beam of light, which bounced off the windows until it reached Apoo.

"What the?" Apoo gasped.

Kia suddenly appeared before him and dealt a devastating kick that sent him flying into the building below, destroying it instantly. He vanished again and reappeared before Drake, performing a powerful roundhouse kick in his face. A split second later, Drake found himself flying through a building.

Kia then aimed his fingers at Hawkins, who reverted to human form and fired a beam. This time, it went straight through his chest, and he drew blood and collapsed.

The remaining pirates stared at Kia, who had just taken down for rookies in less than five minutes. He then approached Hawkins and pointed his glowing finger down at him. It looked like he was about to finish Hawkins off when suddenly a transponder snail rung.

"Hmm," Kia frowned and stopped what he was doing. He then lifted the transponder snail on his wrist to his mouth. "Hello…" However, there was no answer, and the transponder snail kept ringing. "…that's odd. Hello!"

It then occurred to him that the transponder snail on his wrist was not ringing, and he looked through his jacket pocket. He then pulled out a small transponder snail.

"Ah, here it is," he said and answered it. "This is Kia."

"What the heck, uncle!" said an angry voice on the other side. "You do have a baby transponder snail! Why didn't you contact me?"

"Huh, oh, is that you, Sachihiro?" Kia asked.

Sachihiro, who was a large man with a battleaxe, glared. "Don't give me is that your business. Where are you? What are you doing?"

"I tried contacting you before, but I couldn't get a hold of you."

"Don't tell me you were trying to talk into the black transponder snail again?" Sachihiro groaned. "I've told you before that the black one on your wrist is for eavesdropping, remember?"

"Oh, that's right," Kia nodded.

"Argh, it's fine. Forget it. It's time we get to work now. It seems the culprits have split up. Dragon Conqueror Hiccup, Dagur the Deranged and Trafalgar Law, which one should we start with?"

"Huh, split up," said Kia. "In that case, well…"


The Dragon Riders were still fighting their Pacifista, more or less turning the island they were on into a wall zone. Though it was concentrating its attacks mostly on Hiccup, unleashing a powerful beam from its mouth.

Toothless quickly moved in, and the Pacifista raised his palm towards him and fired a beam. He jumped into the air before it hit him and raised his blades.

"108 Calibre Phoenix!" he yelled, unleashing his slashing attack.

The attack struck the Pacifista dead on, causing it to misfire, and Ragnar then came in and out of a powerful roundhouse kick against its knee.

"Black Death Kick!" he yelled.

Astrid shot out of the smoke, placing her palm on its face.

"Valkyrie Impact!" she yelled, unleashing her impact dial on it.

Toothless then moved in, hoping to finish it off. "108 Calibre…"

Sadly, the Pacifista wasn't down yet and managed to fire a beam at him. Fortunately, the beam missed him by a few inches, but when he landed on the ground, it opened its mouth, ready to blast him.

Toothless suddenly remembered his previous battle with Kuma and winced in pain, unable to move.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ragnar yelled.

"Get out of there!" Astrid cried.

Toothless snapped out of it just in time to jump out of the way before the blast struck him, and he landed on one of the tree roots.

"Toothless!" Hiccup yelled, rushing over. "Are you all right? What happened? Did you end up getting so badly hurt we just started."

"Love, just forget about him for now, Hiccup," said Ragnar. "We're all screwed if we can't beat this thing."

"Right," Hiccup nodded.

Toothless tried to get back up, but he was completely worn out and looked like he was in great pain.

Ragnar grimaced as he looked at him. 'He hasn't had a chance to recover from last time. Standing up to him at all must be pretty damn painful. That look on his face told me everything I needed to know.' He then looked back at the Pacifista. 'This bastard wants us dead, but if he is not Kuma Bartholomew, who the hell is he? Either way, we don't have time for this; if we don't get out of here, we're going to be even worse off than we are now.'
